More than 48 hours after Nigerian soldiers hunting for Boko Haram insurgents leveled Baga town in Borno State, killing 185 civilians and wounding several others, President Goodluck Jonathan is yet to comment on the tragedy. The president’s silence is a sharp contrast with the way his United States counterpart, Barack Obama, acts whenever even a single American is killed.

RoblesOg: More than 48 hours after Nigerian soldiers hunting for Boko Haram insurgents leveled Baga town in Borno State, killing 185 civilians and wounding several others, President Goodluck Jonathan is yet to comment on the tragedy. To compare Obama and Jonathan, you have to compare America and Nigeria. Nigeria is not america. While I am not defending his silence, I am saying we should stop this silly comparisons . 1 Like |

The president is having 'condolence fatigue'. Presidents of other countries in similar situation with Nigeria,eg Pakistan, India, Afghanistan, Yemen,etc are also having 'condolence fatigue'. Nigeria is not America, where terrorist attacks happen once in ten years or so. Just imagine the President Jonathan addressing the nation every time there is Boko haram bomb blast or killings. The implication of that is that the President will do no other thing but Boko haram. Unfortunately, the country has to keep moving despite Boko haram and the killings in the north. We cannot stop because of Boko haram. Pakistan, India,etc did not stop because of insurgency 4 Likes |

Boko Haram members opened fire on unarmed civilians raining carnage while people ran to low lying shrub for refuge. The JTF arrived after the number of civilians gunned down by the Islamist bulged up. When JTF arrived, the terrorist as it is characteristic of them turn many fleeing villagers as human shield. That was what I watched and heard. The way the OP has painted the issue is as if the soldiers gunned down fleeing villagers. As much as we may not like Jonathan, it is iniquitous to post libelous statements to buttress our points. That being said, it is unfortunate, indeed, very appalling if the president is yet to speak on the carnage. 2 Likes |

I beg stop unnecessary criticisms of this man. I am not his fan and I think he is quite slow intellectually, socially , morally and in leadership style. I think him simple mind may be too black to handle Nigeria He has been sleeping since he took over power but this one is good. Do you want him to present dolls to people who are hell bent on killing innocent civilians? My only challenge is that the clampdown is coming late and hence making the civilian casualty unfortunately heavy. If he has suddenly jolted awake to his responsibilities then ride on Presido, the human beings that died as a result of the BH bombings need justice. |

For real Jonthan wouldn't have kept mute for 48 hours without saying something to the bereaved the JTF actually engaged the terrorists in a duel and casualties surfaced! Obviously very few innocents will be victims but the majority are the Boko Haramists this is another 'inferior news from the staples' of CPC, ACN alarmists 4 Likes |

Jonathan cannot make a swift comment on every bullet that sounds in Borno. Containing Boko haram is a continuous exercise, so expecting GEJ to comment in all the attacks is ludicrous. On the casualty figure, How many people live in the Border town, Baga? Since the insurgence of the Islamic terror group, Boko Haram how many people come to the market? Were all these 185 people assembled from different parts of Borno to come and face the JTF firepower or What Jonathan will be free from you guys someday ... 3 Likes |

berem: hmmmm..... that means terrorism happens everywhere. Nigerians should learn how to live with it. Now i understand why you just spewed this trash. Yes, nigerians should as a matter of fact learn to live with. Since we have refused to help root out the terrorist in our midst. Only the people in kano have been able turn against these murderers. In baga villagers, community heads, religious leaders all knew these murderers were worshipping in their town. Yet they simply kept mute, abetted these terrorist. It's unfortunate, but this is what happens when you abett murderers. Terrorism based on religious extremism/ fanaticism is no child's play, countries with militaries 20 times stronger than our own struggle to deal with it RUSSIA has the world 2nd strongest military, yet they have been battling terrorism in the northern caucuses / dagestan since 1994, that's 19 years Turkey top 10 military 27years against PKK Pakistan top 13 military 15years( taliban) India top 4 military 25 years (moaist rebels) Philippines 40 years Indonesia. 15years Yemen Saudi arabia Iran This nation would continue to move forward whether these murderers like it or not. Security agencies around the world rely primarily on tip off for source of INTEL. Tech. Plays a huge role, but 'tip off' is the number 1 source of INTEL. As long as nigerians continue to be un co operative, un responsive and pay lip service to security in general, buckle in because we are in for a long bloody drawn out insurgency. So yes I re-affirm 'Nigerians should learn how to live with it'. 3 Likes |

Never seen people dismiss 185 dead civilians before.  Is it because of party affiliation that 185 civilian deaths don't matter to you? If that is the answer, you should be ashamed of yourself. Ask yourself. If you were in Borno and your wife was mercilessly gunned down by the the FG, wouldn't you join Boko Haram to get revenge? Every time JTF kills civilians they are increasing the ranks of Boko Haram. If you can't have pity for the dead, at least be mad at that. 2 Likes |

And no matter who they were, we still need an explanation from GEJ as to what happened. 185 lives wasted is not beans ooo. If he can make a statement to the Americans over the Boston bombings, why should he not talk about 185 people dead a few days later. It is like a man consoling his neighbour that has a burnt stove meanwhile not saying a thing when his own house burnt down. Bloody hypocrite. 2 Likes |

"Kill one American citizen, and a million American security will find you out within a week. Kill one thousand Nigerians and you would be invited for amnesty.

Most times I wonder if all women aand children are really innoceent. Few weeks ago, we read. That BH had commenced d recruitment of women basically for courier services, that is, to carry their weapon to their target area, since women are not subjected to searches. Also, we know hat d world over, islamic extremist recruit child soldiers, for their heinous reason. Let's not allow sentiment to cloud our reasoning. Again d report indicated that BH used multipurpose guns to attack soldiers. The rocket launcher they used is inflamatory and respoonsible for the burnt houses. They were not trained to attack with precision. So let's not attribute casualties to jtf. Abi BH no reach 185? 1 Like |

So BH was killing the civilians and JTF came and finish off all of them and it is ok for you? Thats brilliant clap for yourself once more. I think many are saying the villagers deserved what they got because they were habouring BH and now when it suits your arguement the villagers are being killed by BH and JTF liberated them by killing them and burning their village. |
