boko haram

i dont like what's happening in dis country,especially during d festy xmas period dat innocent soul was dissolved by boko haram

SPLIT NOW

There is no point deceiving ourselves. The truth is that the country should be split. Igbos have shed enough blood. Since an Igbo man can no longer live peacefully in the North and practice his religion, I think its better we split. Check the statistics of those that lost their lives in the recent attacks.

CHRISTMAS BOMBING

Even though the Scripture says that time is coming when toddlers will be playing with the cubs, I think they should be separated and groomed differently because when they grow together to discover that they don't have same ancestry, it could be more disastrous. I doubt if the North and the South can succeed together as one based on their different religious and cultural inclination, values and ethics. How long should we continue to waste precious lives and property in the name of fanaticism?

PAINFUL

Its heart aching when things of this nature occurs all in the name of enforcing a particular law. noteworth, i pay my sincere condolence to the victim of the incident.

comment

Those that are doing all those bombings are not humanbegins

terrorist

President should take radical action among the north leader they all of them

Boko Haram Killers

are terrorists and should be treated accordingly. Their claimed religious aims are just a fake, because no religion tolerates the killing of innocent people. In fact, they want to destabilize the country and install an islamistic regime and drive all christians out of Nigeria. Let's hope, that someone can stop them.....

And now again..

..end- an fruitless discussions!
Because of our "political correctness", nobody wants to see the truth about this so called "Religion of peace".
P.C. together with censorship will be the end of our western Civilisation.
Not now, but tomorrow.
What a terrible gloomy future is awaiting us!

Bloody Christamas

The United Nations should step in and split Nigeria peacefully at least in two before the Igbos become extinct.
This killings have continued since 1945.

abt sorry

very sorry beloved 4 booms explossion

I have nothing to say.

God will save his people from those that destroyed what they cannot make they shall also die one day that is sure.

Boko Haram

The sooner this scum is eradicated the better. All civilized people must band together and rid the world of this scourge on humanity.

Decisive actions needed

Symphatizing with victims is a good thing the government has consistently done. If this bombings continue, very soon the government will have nobody alive to tell "sorry we are on top of the situation"

Abuja bomb blast

I think is in-human and immoral to kill people because of their religion.
I don't care what anyone says, this is so upsetting and annoying.
Put this in perspective, some families has just lost their loved ones as the bomb blast went off.
This could have been anyone, peolpe
