High School Basketball Player Says He Didn't Know He Was 29 Years Old
It was discovered that the 29-year-old man was masquerading as a 17-year-old high school student and playing for Catholic Central High School in Canada. Now the 6'9 man is saying he wasn't aware that he was 29. According to the Toronto Star, Nicola's mother kept telling him different ages throughout his life. "I always keep asking what is the specific age that I was born, and she has told me that she could not remember," Nicola said. "Over (in South Sudan) not every year we study, we always keep moving to different schools, and over there, they do no ask your age. They do not ask you nothing.
Nicola went on to say that his main goal was to get a good education so he could provide for his family at some point."I am not a liar person," Nicola continued. "I am religious. I pray to God ... If something bad happen to me here, I do not know what would happen to my mother back home because she is really sick. She has diabetes. I did not came here to harm any people or do something bad. All my goal is to study and get the education, so I can go back home, I can help my mother, I can help all the rest of my family."
It all stems from a man Nicola named as "Coach Steyn" who helped him get Canada. There's no additional details about his whereabouts at the moment, but he was said to have completed the necessary paperwork for Nicola to get to Canada."He [Coach Steyn] did the whole papers," Nicola said in a hearing. "He did everything."
Nicola's student visa application and passport says he was born November 25, 1998, but when his fingerprints provided at Canada Border Services Agency match a man with the same name that was born November 1, 1986.
Nicola is hoping to just get sent back home, saying that this was not his fault. He apologized to his high school coach and those involved for having put them through this."Please if you let me, send me back home, it would be much more better for me and for my family and for my mental health," Nicola said.
His request was ultimately denied by adjudicator Valerie Currie. She believes he knew all along of his age and took an opportunity to fool those involved so he could get to Canada."I understand your desire to do that, but the way you have gone about doing that is frankly, quite illegal," Currie said.
Nicola's next hearing is set for May 24.
Boko Haram
Boko Haram is a terrorist organization with its roots in northeastern Nigeria, linked to insurgency stemming from north Cameroon, Chad and Niger. "Boko Haram" is a Hausa name which translates roughly as "Western education is forbidden", while the real Arabic name translates as "The Congregation of the People of Tradition for Proselytism and Jihad".
The sect was founded in 2002 by the late Mohammed Yusuf who was captured and executed by the Nigerian security forces in 2009. Until the government clamped down on the sect’s activities in 2009, the operations conducted by the sect were more or less peaceful. Since Abubakar Shekau, a former deputy to Yusuf’s era.
The sect seeks to establish a "pure" Islamic state ruled by Sharia, putting a stop to what it deems
Westernization. It proposes that interaction with the Western world is forbidden, and also supports opposition to the Muslim establishment and the government of Nigeria. The group is known for attacking Christians, Muslim clerics and government targets, as well as for bombing churches, mosques, schools and police stations.
The group is also notorious for kidnappings. The violence linked to the Boko Haram insurgency has resulted in an estimated 20,000 deaths between 2002 and 2015. On November 13, 2013, the United States government designated the group a terrorist organization. On May 22, 2014, the United Nations Security Council added Boko Haram to its list of designated al-Qaeda entities, bringing "funding, travel and weapons sanctions" against the terrorist group.
On the same day Boko Haram was officially declared a terrorist group affiliated to al-Qaeda and al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb. International sanctions including assets' freeze, travel ban and arms embargo are imposed against the Islamist extremist group. It was reported in August 2013 that Abubakar Shekau, the leader of Boko Haram, had been shot and deposed by members of his sect, but he survived. He has taken responsibility for the April 2014 kidnapping of over 200 school girls in Chibok, Borno state, Nigeria.
Funding sources for Boko Haram are not certain, but is believed to be partially funded by bank robberies and by other Islamist groups.

The leadership of the ruling All Progressives Congress has boasted about winning the entire South-east and South-south regions.
The All Progressives Congress, APC has kicked off the gubernatorial election campaign in Edo State for its flagbearer, Godwin Obaseki in high spirits and high hopes.
The honourable National Chairman of the APC, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun has expressed his expectation of the party of change to win maximum control of the South-East and South-South after emerging as winners in the September 10 election in Edo State.
The All Progressives Congress, APC has kicked off the gubernatorial election campaign in Edo State for its flagbearer, Godwin Obaseki in high spirits and high hopes.
The honourable National Chairman of the APC, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun has expressed his expectation of the party of change to win maximum control of the South-East and South-South after emerging as winners in the September 10 election in Edo State.
“We are going to bring our brothers in the South East and South-South into our fold after the Edo governorship election,” the Edo native boasted according to DailyPost.He continued:-
Speaking at the weekend while inaugurating the party’s National Campaign Council on the Edo election, Oyegun averred that the Edo election is “important, crucial and will be a very great signpost” for the party, adding that their “job is to ensure that Edo State is safely in the hands of the APC.”
“Once that is done, then we will venture out to bring home our brothers in the South East and in the South-South to join this great crusade to salvage our nation, to establish a new way of doing things; to establish new ethics, to let our people know that there is a difference between right and wrong, to change this country from the trajectory, on a permanent basis; we are already in it, to change it irreversibly from the destructive trajectory into which it was plunged.
“So, my charge to this committee, the campaign council, made up of very eminent leaders of this party, each one specially chosen for this assignment, is not that they should deliver Edo State. It is a lot more than that. It is that they should deliver Edo State with a margin that tells the whole story. So, as you get down to your assignment, consider also that it is in a sense a mid-term election.
“So, it is an election that is important to us that we win very convincingly, not just win, but win convincingly. So, my charge to you is to go out there in a coordinated, close working relationship with the local election committee to strategise, raise the resources, talk to whosoever is necessary to talk to, some of the details of which, of course, we will discuss at a very first meeting to ensure that the kind of victory that our party deserves is in fact recorded,” the APC chairman stated.

The 31-year-old ended an impressive campaign with a Champions League crown with Madrid before going on to win Euro 2016 with the national team - their first-ever major international title.
The forward is the favourite to be crowned the player of the year for 2016 as a result of his fine performances, And Drogba, who currently plays in MLS with Canadian side Montreal Impact, feels that Ronaldo has shown himself to be a good leader and hopes that he wins the prize for a fourth time.
"I played against Cristiano in the Champions League final in 2008; he won with Manchester United against Chelsea," Drogba told AS. "He is a true leader and he deserves the Ballon d'Or for the great work he has done for Real Madrid and Portugal. Although he could not play the whole Euro 2016 final, he was the biggest reason that his team got there."
Madrid are using Montreal Impact's facilities to train as they prepare for the Internaitonal Champions Cup and Drogba feels that the club can learn from such a "prestigious" club.
"It is very important for Montreal Impact that Real Madrid train here, given the history of the club," he said. "It is important to see how such an important team works.
"I've played many times against Real Madrid. I faced them with Marseille and Galatasaray. I also played against coach Zinedine Zidane.
"Real Madrid is a massive, highly prestigious club. It is an honor to have them here."
