Barely five hours after President Goodluck Jonathan concluded his two-day visit to Borno and Yobe states in a bid to try to galvanize support for his battle against Islamist insurgents, seven loud explosions shook the city Friday evening.
The explosions which happened within minutes of each other suggesting the kind of co-ordinated attacks that have come to be the trademark of the Islamist sect, Boko Haram, before an intensive military campaign put a lid on their activities.
The blasts were reported at Bumdum,Customs area and Gamboru parts of the city but there was no immediate report of any casualty.
It would be recalled that at yesterday’s town hall meeting with Borno Elders Forum, President Goodluck Jonathan urged stated that he will order the soldiers of the JTF back to the barracks on the condition that the elders sign an undertaking that there will no more be any form of attacks in the north eastern town which has been the epicentre of Boko Haram activities.
Boko guys haha !! you will not change, thank GOD our GEJ Came back safely.
i think the so called Borno Elders should be investigated for callin for the wildralwer of JTF from Maiduguri.
As Jonathan is calling on elders of Borno to sign an agreement for the withdrawal of soldiers I, on my part, am calling on Jonathan to forget about our votes. His visit was not with any good intention except to counter-challenge that of opposition governors. We will not vote him so he should look for votes elsewhere. Any move or action to organize rigging in our area Boko Haram will be a child at play. His soldiers and police cannot save his criminal action of rigging.
GEJ is right for mor agreeing TO withdrawal of the JTF just like that. It is not safé.
the elders in the north can no longercall boko haram to order.they are now being renbursed by external forces.jonathan should not deceive himself.soldiers should remain there to protect innocent citizens
It is only the Almighty God that can deliver us from this terrorists.GEJ should better declare the State of Emergency before this Boko haramists finish the whole Nation.
This visit of mr president to borno and yobe state, what is it bringing to d table in respect of insecurity in those area he visited, if not to tell anybody who cares to listen that whatever APC can do they can equally do as well, where was he all dis while before APC visited d area, we should try to shy away frm politcising every sensitive things in this country. May peace rain in d area. By d time we do away wit sentiment and every body free from corruption, Nigeria would be a better place to live. Corruption is d only problem we have in Nigeria and our govt has not shown any political will to tackle it.

What makes a leader different from a follower is not only the position the former occupies but also the supposed force that his utterances possess. It is the responsibility of the follower, on the other hand , to say ‘yes’ to any progressive order. Therefore, if I were a leader of primary school pupils and/but they didn’t listen to me, before shame envelopes me, I would resign. A failing leader may resign before he is said to be synonymous with failure. You are welcome Mr. President.
Ha! ha! Ha!!! Watch your tongue christan’s or wat so ever you call yourself. I believe only the finger dat commit should be cut off!
May God save naija
Today a group of terrorist & cold blooded
murderers announced 2 d world that they’ve
killed all 7 of their hostages. The group which is
referred 2 as ‘ansaru’ for short claims it’s goal is
to protect muslims in black africa. I ask, how
they intend 2 do dis by killing some innocent
expatriate who left d comfort of their well devt
land 2 execute a legitimate job in northern
nigeria? How is Islam a religion of ‘Peace’, wen
all acts of terrorism & violence all over d world is
associated wit Islam? They go by all sorts of
names ‘Alquaida’ Taliban’ Boko Haram’ Ansaru’
etc… all these Islamic organisations have a clear
objective, they’re oppose to growth &
development, peace & progress, they are
vampires and blood suckers. How can anybody
convince a sane and reasonable person that
Islam stands 4 peace wen it’s footprints &
trademarks of violence & terror continue to stare
us daily on d face? how can u say that Islam
means well for me wen all it does is 2 seek 2
terminate my life & those of my kind? Islam is no
religion, It is a Cult, a cult that survives on
human blood & only thrives wen non members
suffer from its rain of terror. Alas! ‘He that kills
by d sword shall surely die by d sword’.
hmmmmm, i kept askin the same question over and over. Is Islam a religion of peace or Violence?? I guess Boko Haram and other Islamic sect answer it all. Our Lord Jesus Christ will fight for us and we will hold unto our peace.
This country will be in trouble if any of the interested parties rig the election.Mind u,Boko haram is also an interested party.And now we also have the ND militants.The remedy will be for Inec to conduct a free and fair election so that if anyone loses,he will accept it in good faith or so we hope!
