2,000 DEAD in Nigerian Terrorist Attack

[Micky Mikey]

Jonathan is shrewd. He knows that if he comments on the Baga massacre, more Nigerians will know about the 2000 dead. He keeps mum because he hopes the Nigerian electorate will forget in a few weeks.

If I lived in Arewa, I would view Jonathan's government as criminal in regard to its inability to provide security. The Emir of Kano, Sanusi, was correct in telling Northerners to arms themselves. Obviously, the Nigerian government won't.

We must critically look at the Nigerian Army's inability to provide logistical support to its troops. I'm reading books on the US Civil War. The Union Army got thousands of mules, horses, trains etc. to transport food, ammunition, clothing and the like to its armies in the mid 19th century. The Union Army of 1865 puts to shame the Nigerian Army of 2015, which has at its disposal 21st century technology.

Why don't we have a military strategy to secure Nigeria's borders? That way, we starve Boko Haram of foreign support, materiel and manpower?

Why haven't we recruited tens of thousands of new soldiers to secure the North? 20,000 soldiers won't do it. We need at least a 10-to-1 advantage over Boko Haram. I estimate there's around 15,000 to 20,000 Boko Haram fighters therefore we need to double or triple the size of Nigerian army. Hasn't happened.

Why do our general retreat from our own territory? Why don't we outflank Boko Haram? Why do we wait for them to attack garrisons instead of taking the battle to them? Why aren't bad generals fired?

Nigeria's military leadership

I don't know much about Nigerian political/military history, but I heard that the main reason Nigerian forces are under funded is the fear a coup d'etat will take place. The existing Government and existing president, Goodluck Jonathan are ensuring their status by not giving the Nigerian military too much power. And this is all at the expense of the country's growing instability.

Are there any Nigerians here on this board? How does something like this happen? It would seem like people across Nigeria would be rising up in arms over the mass corruption that helped enabled this tragedy. Why aren't there more voices speaking out? Better yet, why aren't Nigerians arming themselves and defending the country like their armed force should be doing? Is the country so divided between the North and South that the atrocities taking place in the Northern regions are overlooked by those in the South? I read somewhere that the many Nigerians are forming militias in the northern regions, but are ill equipped and out-manned.

Also importantly why isn't this headline news? Why aren't people outraged by this? This is horrendous and the lack of reporting of this incident is shameful. I guess 12 French lives are worth more than 2000 African one's. If the complete apathy and disregard for black life on this PLANET doesn't wake us, I don't know what will.

It's time for Nigerians and other African nations to stomp out Islamic extremism and other entities that jeopardize stability on the continent. These savages are murdering innocent women and children and relishing in it. It is a crying shame to see Africans murdering each other in the name of a religion that has historically been used to undermine them as human beings.

My Brother it's the same thing u see here in America, for every 3 Nigerian or black that is fed up, u have 15 including family members that don't care. Just because they eat 3 meals a day, and have a lil change in their pocket they are okay long as it don't reach their door step.

It's hard to convince ur Mother and Father if all they tell you that God will take care of it one day, this the reality of a lot of Nigerians and Blacks in America.

They will shoot me and u for stepping on their Jordans, Disrespecting them, stealing chicken from the market place, Talk big and bad to their own kind But when the real terrorists show up, they run and leave it to God.

And if the few that are brave to want to fight for freedom get gunned down, everybody will blame them and say they should have played chess and not checkers.

Its to the point you have to look out for u and u only, Your own family will sell u out in a minute, like my Father used to tell me, never tell nobody what u working on, and even if u must, tell it only after you done it.

These savages are now using 10 year old girls as suicide bombers. This is disgusting these animals have to be stopped.

In Nigeria, New Boko Haram Suicide Bomber Tactic: ‘It’s a Little Girl’
By ADAM NOSSITERJAN. 10, 2015

DAKAR, Senegal — A girl perhaps no more than 10 years old detonated powerful explosives concealed under her veil at a crowded northern Nigeria market on Saturday, killing as many as 20 people and wounding many more.

The blast inflicted devastating damage on shoppers at the Monday Market in Maiduguri, the shopping hub in a city that is at the heart of the Boko Haram insurgency. The explosion, witnessed by dozens of people, represented a new tactic in the Islamists’ campaign with their decision to use perhaps their youngest-ever suicide bomber.

The terrorist group has increasingly employed women as suicide bombers, even as it has stepped up its abductions of girls across northeast Nigeria, including the kidnapping of more than 200 in the town of Chibok last April. Late last year, two women hit the Monday Market in suicide attacks, killing dozens, and in one week last summer four women carried out bombings in northern Nigeria’s biggest city, Kano.

But the use of a child to kill — witnesses, police officials, a top hospital official in Maiduguri and local vigilantes all agreed that the bomber was very young — may be unprecedented in the insurgency.

“It’s a little girl,” said the hospital official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the delicacy of his position. “The body is beyond recognition, but from the face you can see it’s a young person. A young pretty girl.”

A vigilante group has taken responsibility for much of what little security exists in Maiduguri, and on Saturday morning, before the blast, several members of the group had screened the girl with metal detectors as she entered the market, said a spokesman, Abubakar Faruq.

The girl resisted, the vigilantes noticed a bulge around her waist and the bomb went off, Mr. Faruq said. A police spokesman said 20 people were killed and 18 others critically wounded.

Several witnesses said it appeared that the girl might not have been aware of her deadly burden. Bakura Bashir, a shopper who witnessed the explosion, said: “This girl may not necessarily know she was conveying a timed bomb. The girl was torn into two halves, and half of her body was thrown across buildings by the devastating blast.”

A top federal police official in the capital, Abuja, who once worked in Maiduguri, said Saturday that the terrorist group appeared to have embarked on a new path.

“It’s something quite new, and it’s disturbing, using these young, young girls wearing hijabs,” the official said, referring to the Muslim veil.

“Now, one has to be suspicious of any lady wearing a hijab — whether it’s a young lady, or an old lady,” said the police official, who asked not to be quoted by name because of concerns about his position.

Boko Haram has carried out a spate of attacks recently in the northeast, including a devastating one in Baga, a fishing village north of Maiduguri, that killed dozens last week; an assault on the nearby city of Damaturu on Friday evening that set off a gun battle lasting more than four hours, but that was ultimately repelled by security forces; and a bombing in Potiskum on Saturday that killed two police officers.

Some of nikkas have the white man on your brains 24/7.

Yes its very disheartening seeing the similarities of black Americans and Africans on the continent. The tragedies taking place in some parts of the continent are of course of much greater severity. However, I definitely see your point. There seems to be an overall sense of complacency among our people. No one gets outraged about the things that really matter nor has the heart to confront those who actually perpetuate death and destruction. I believe that is why we constantly find ourselves at the bottom. We don't have the heart to address integral issues affecting our communities. Some of us are riders but most aren't

They already are, when I lived in Nigeria, the rich people had 7 or more duplexes in one compound in the middle of the ghetto. You had homeless people, lepers, women and children selling oranges to survive right there in the neighborhood.

These rich people were your local council men, politicians that were skimming money and resources of the top and those same people I mentioned that were struggling will burn u alive if u even stole a soda from the store while the real criminal moved about freely and flaunted their wealth.

All you hear is God will take care of it, Pray, Dance, its ridiculous. Its the same dynamic here in the states, at some point u have to look in the mirror, its us that's causing majority of our problem, unless we are going to say the white man is indeed superior.

No way people that can think rationally like u and I and countless others here do and all over the world can say another person is brain washing us for this long. I know right and wrong, some of us do, some of us chose to be koons, its not done in a lab, its chosen by the individual, it has to be.

i hope obama sends the us army to deal with this sh1t. itll be easy for them. just a few snipers in there they'll be evaporated in no time.

 

[NegroTurbo]

itll be easy for them. just a few snipers in there they'll be evaporated in no time.

I'm afraid it won't be that easy it will turn into another Afghanistan

 

[mtu wa chuma]

i hope obama sends the us army to deal with this sh1t. itll be easy for them. just a few snipers in there they'll be evaporated in no time. didn't bruce willis make a movie on some sht like this 12 years ago..in nigeria? someone call bruce man.

Obama shouldn't do anything. At some point they will have to take start handling their own shyt even If it means boko haram advancing on Lagos. Anything to jog them out of their own apathy and demand change from the people who are elected and paid to protect them.

It's not America's job to protect Nigerians. It's the Nigerians themselves.
