In what is clearly a defiance of the Nigerian government, the Boko Haram leader, Abubakar Shekau, vowed not to release the abducted Chibok girls unless his captured members were released by government agencies.
In the 39 minutes video posted on YouTube Saturday, Mr. Shekau also asked the Nigeria's President Muhammadu Buhari to repent' and follow the ways of the Boko Haram.
Mr. Shekau, who spoke for 27 minutes in Arabic reading from a prepared script, called Mr. Buhari a cow worshiper and a liar.
He also said that until his captured members were released, parents of the Chibok girls should forget about their children.
In the speech, he criticized the use of National Anthem and the National pledge in schools claiming they were ways of making children unbelievers.
"You teach your children the National Anthem in schools morning and evening which is a way of making them unbelievers from school," he said in Arabic, after which he recited the National Anthem in English. "So also the National Pledge, that also is done morning and evening. They are made to pledge to something other than Allah. And that is not Islam," he added in Arabic after which he recited the National pledge in English.
He also accused the "West" of introducing secular education, sports and music as a way to deny Muslims time to read their Quran.
"The non-Believers studied the Quran and realized that if the Muslims of the world recite and understand the Quran they will be united. So they introduce some programmes so that they will not have time for the Quran. The programmes include secular education, sports and music. And as a result of that today, many Muslims lost their Islam while others who claim to be Muslims have lost traces of Islam in the name of being educated," the terror group's leader said.
The 27-minute Arabic speech basically involved a lot of quotes of the Quran and Hadith, which he interpreted to justify his groups actions and motives.
Speaking in Hausa after the long speech in Arabic, Mr. Shekau warned President Buhari of the likeliness of betrayal from Nigerians. He called Mr. Buhari an unbeliever and a liar.

"My brothers in Islam, what I want to tell you in Hausa is, all of you unbelievers in Nigeria, Buhari and your likes and Idris Deby ( the President of Chad) with his goat-like eyes and the people of Niger, Africa, and the entire world, listen to me now. I am alive and healthy. But you should know that were my days of living over, you wouldn't have seen me here.
"So many people live even when they are wanted dead, and so also people die when they should have lived.
"Prophet Muhammad (SAW) have been tested with similar hatred because of the religion of Allah.
"Keep doing all your evil planning with Benjamin Netanyahu (Israeli Prime Minister), keep doing all your evil planning with John Kerry (U.S. Secretary of State), keep doing all your evil planning with Ban Ki Moon (UN Secretary General), keep doing all your evil planning with the people of Geneva. Anything you are planning is not up to one house of a spider. And that is what I believe and stand for and what I intend to tell the world.
"We are not sociologist, we are Quranists, and we follow the Hadith and those who came before us.
"We are fools as people but the Quran is what is guiding us and that is why you couldn't defeat us and we are sure of that.
"Don't think you can oppress us with your fighter jets. The Allah we worship lives above your jets and you think you can defeat us knowing fully that it that Allah we worship.
