No fewer than 15 persons were feared killed in Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni Local Government Area of Rivers State by some rampaging gunmen.

The gunmen, numbering about 12, stormed seven communities in the local government area and opened fire on unsuspecting persons.

It was gathered that the assailants, who were all armed with AK-47 rifles, rode into the area with six motorcycles and operated from 9pm on Wednesday till the early hours of Thursday.

A source in the are told The PUNCH that while three persons were shot dead in Ede, one of the communities in the area, one person lost his life in Obite.

In Egite community, two persons were killed by the trigger-happy gunmen while two others were injured.

Like I knew this was going to happen. They want to destabilize rivers too because the state isn't loyal to the PDP's cause.

vicadex07: How come bombs only explode in states not loyal to the Jonathan re-election bid? Kano,
Adamawa, Yobe, kaduna, Imo, Lagos?

This is what i think. i think jonathan is using
boko haram to create chaos in those states so that he can have a reason to deploy heavy security personnel to the states (Ekiti Case study) to intimidate the voters during
election.

Another game plan i see playing out is that
Jonathan would force Jega (INEC) to abort
Election in Boko Haram affected areas, citing insecurity menace, and only conduct the presidential election in states that are boko haram free, in other words Jonathan's Strong Holds.

The bomb blasts in Abuja is just to give the
whole scheme a nationalistic view so that
people would not start suspecting. I don't see any reason why boko haram is growing
stronger even in the midst of heavy presence of our gallant and internationally acclaimed Nigerian army. The only explanation is that there is a collaboration
between the federation and boko haram.

The Northerners cant be killing their own
people. It doesn't work that way.
Its someone from outside that is doing this
dirty business for Jonathan and PDP like a
contract (probably what our 20 billion dollars was used for, and much more). We already know how desperate and ruthless he is. So this is not exactly a revelation.

P.S.
I once interviewed a shoe maker not too long ago. Whilst we were talking, I noticed his accent was not that of the typical Hausa as I have once stayed in the North. I questioned him abt this and he confessed he was a Chadian. I Immediately challenged him that he and his people are boko haram and they are the ones bombing everywhere in Nigeria.
Immediately his countenance changed and
you could see the fear in his eyes when I said that. What he said after that was so shocking.

He revealed that all of them is not like that
and that it is our politicians and big men that come to their countries with "BIG MONEY" to come and recruit them with the pretence that they are fighting a holy war (JIHAD) and they need more soldiers only for them to get to Nigeria and find out the truth. At this juncture, it is most likely too late for most of them to abscond and majority of them just go with the flow. Some of them try to escape but most are killed before even attempting. Very few are successful in escaping
