Na for im wedding day for 12 April, 2014 Boko Haram attack dia village come scatter im wedding, wia dem dey dance. Im run go Cameroon. E take three days before im see im wife. Dat day 49 pipo die for im village including im papa.

But wen dem look how tins be, dem decide to start new life for Lagos as notin dey again for dem since Boko Haram burn im car, house and im guinea corn farm. Now im dey do security work and im wife dey fry yam for road side. Life no easy for dem here as im wife just born twins, and moni no dey to carry dem comot from hospital.

Dis na wetin many pipo for southern Borno, mostly di Christians dia dey suffer. Dem tell BBC Pidgin say dem no fit go back to dia village because Boko Haram don take over dia farms and house dem so notin dey for dem.

Rev. Henson Ammadikko na pastor for pipo wey run comot from di boko haram palava. Im say wen dem come, dem encourage dem to find work and see how pipo fit employ dem as maiguard, driver, cleaner, gardener or nanny dem. Im say, 'We discourage camping because e go make dem dependent. Dis na to empower dem and reduce dia pain.'

Rev Ammadikko say goment need to provide ogbonge security wey go dey gidigba for di villages to make sure say pipo wey don lose dia house and farm go fit get am back. Im say except dat one happen dem no go fit return to dia village because Boko Haram and oda pipo don take over dia land.
