Sad, if true

I'm feeling a rollercoaster of emotions over this insecurity issue in the north and the decimation of its Christian population in their own ancestral lands. Even though a larger part of this emotion is one of empathy and pity, i'd have to admit that a small part is a feeling that nemesis/retributive justice is catching up with some people over the sins of their parents and forebears......not having the foresight that Ojukwu had all those years ago in knowing that Nigeria (as is) is just not workable; and going on from there to commit unimaginable horrors on a people whose only crime was not wanting to be a part of this charade anymore!

May God forgive us all!

They have done their worst, religiously and politically. They will all be killed. They have lost the votes of the christians in the north. So it will be the christian north+ SE+SS+MD against any northern muslim presidential candidate come 2015.

This is so barbaric. My the Reverend's soul rest in peace.

The JTF should immediately swing into action to stem the tide of these heinous acts

it's a disaster,may God grant his family the fortitude to bear the loss.

That's just what's going to happen. Sad but true!

Anyone surprised by this news should be arrested and detained.


I don't think it would have mattered what GEJ decided to do (referring to SOE), these boko delinquents would have killed him anyway.

is like Gej have to stop speaking and start acting.

who deleted my post

What is jtf waiting for?

oh my God.wicked anima.ls.why did they kill this innocent man.

dis Terrorists rude oh,..... Dey didnt even waste time

Boko haram appears to be desperate to make their points these days.
The co-ordinated and meticulous attacks have drifted to splinter attacks with little or no direct impact on the nation and the Christians.

A visible sign of weakening is seen in the camp.
I guess the ideology has been changed from 72 hot-bloods to self ambitions.

A bunch of dirty ,unwashed, goro chewing fools.
They will be uprooted and incinerated soon,i pray.

R.I.P to the CAN secretary.

GEJ is absolutely ready to destroy the North before dividing nigeria. God pass you all!!!

Why must every calamity in Nigeria be a regret in hindsight for not following Ojukwu's lead? There were security breach and calamities in Nigeria before Ojukwu became anybody, there were calamities in his time and they will be here after him. Dude, this has no bearing on what Ojukwu foresaw or was blind to.....

And sme pple would still defend dis babarians........smh And sme pple would still defend dis babarians........smh

OmolodMilkman93: dis Terrorists rude oh,..... Dey didnt even waste time

They know they have limited time before they are smoked out. I think the soldiers would have taken over the states before SOE was announced.

Sad loss but these guys are fighting a losing battle,It's a lost cause. Since they're intent on meeting virgins in paradise, some mean looking boys are on their way accelerate the meeting. Extend my regards to Sheik Mansur when ya'll get there

Once again, another innocent citizen is gunned down and we all rise to register our condolence and condemnation. When is the F.G going to rise up to the task so that boko haram can register their own condolence and condemnation amongst their members?

My heartfelt condolence to the family of the Rev., may God give them the fortitude to bear the loss. Amen.




R. I. P to him.

I thought some pastor did declare insanity and place curses on the BH folk! Alas damn ja'amatu blah blah blah didn't get the memo


Wishing good luck and grace to our beloved JTF as they stamp these urchins off our lands forever!

The same Boko haram bullets will fail when an emir is involved
But once it's a Christian,they never miss
may God and allah punish them in this world and the next

What exactly is happening Is BH stronger than the FG, why has it taken so long for FG to do something about them in order to put a stop to all these killings Those killed aint animals, why isnt there no sympathy for them Is it because their children or wives or husbands havent been among the dead Or is it part of GEJ's agenda that innocent bloods must be shed Im confused.

May God help us in this country o.

Yaribawa:

Lol... You guys, your fears for these muslim Northerners is indescribable. Every thread today that i looked in there were ibos forecasting the downfall and defeat of northerner using the XN+SE+SS+MB formula...some even went in the extreme to add a defeat of SW as well. i pity una!

The man who was killed was probably someone else's father, brother, son or friend and yet, all you could do was to post that jargon you wrote.
The pity should be on you!
Wear it like a badge of honour!
**Spits**

R.I.P to the dead Pastor. May God grant his family the fortitude to bear his loss.

These harams are trying to start a religious war in this country by force.

If they want to fight, let them come! We won't lay down to be killed like goats!

The sad thing is that 9ja Christians haven't done ANYTHING to them.
