As Nigerians Sleep, Towns In Borno Fall To Jihadists by 4Play(m): 7:00pm On Aug 10, 2014 |
This country is sleepwalking to a full-blown civil war but its nationals are still obsessed with petty tribalism, APC v PDP, the daily grind and Ebola hysteria. Towns in Bornu State continue to fall to Boko Haram who now seem to have a large contingent of foreign jihadists fighting in their ranks, the commander of Boko Haram in Damboa is reportedly from Sudan. The blog post below is illustrative of the challenges we face : 9TH/10TH August Nigeria SITREP (Boko Haram) http://fulansitrep./ PS: I do not regard the above as 100% accurate but I believe the gist of it - if the Nigerian army had recaptured Damboa, they should be able to show pictures of our troops in the town proper and not just on the highways which tallies with the blog post's claim that the troops only hold the highway. 3 Likes |

There is a serious onslaught in the world against Christians by Islam and the government of various countries. The funny thing is that Christians are busy denying this. Look at what is happening in India, Iraq, Nigeria, Sudan, America, Europe, Syria, Pakistan, Afghanistan, etc. We Christians are busy playing church and denomination. Busy chasing shadows like prosperity, healing, breakthrough, etc. What a shame. I earnestly pray for the revival of the church of Christ world wide. 2 Likes |

Just like I have been saying , this is no longer just a terrorist group but boko haram has transformed into a full fledged rebel army with soldiers,arms and logistics enough to withstand the might of the nigerian army. Their main aim is to take over borno ,this issue is no longer about apc or pdp but a real war against a rebel movement 5 Likes |

Their main aim is to take over borno ,this issue is no longer about apc or pdp but a real war against a rebel movement It's a downright bizarre country. If you look at the front page, what grips attention is APC v PDP. These parties are proxies through which tribal wars are fought. The situation in the North-East is deteriorating fast but Nigerians think it doesn't affect them. That will change in the coming years as the reality of war is brought closer to people's doorsteps. |

If Nigeria wants to win the war against Boko Haram, they have to realise it is unfair to ask we moslim soldiers to fight against fellow muslims. Like they did during the civil war, northern moslims should not be made to fight against their brothers. They should be sent to military formations in the North West while other soldiers can tackle this dare-devil mujahedeen. |

Why don't the Nigerian authorities organise a food and economic blockade of the entire north east!? Sure some innocent people will be caught up in it, but the important thing is to end this thing quickly so more people don't die! Oh, and the people caught up in the planned blockade shouldn't take it personal......we still love them all, but this is for their own good! PS- They shouldn't forget to strafe their markets, rice and millet fields too.......just so the 'fuc'kers' get the message that we mean business! No feeding of the 'enemy' will be tolerated! 5 Likes |

jusRadical: There is a serious onslaught in the world against Christians by Islam and the government of various countries. I have a question, is there any law in the new testament banning Christians from defending themselves? I don't really get it why we always fold our hands not just in Nigeria but world over and watch these savages butcher fellow Christians with reckless abandon. 1 Like |

Intel available to me. Says Nigeria Troops along side special forces unit are fighting hard to secure #loc in hands of the insurgents. This has come with heavy prize due to lack of proper air cover and other necessary weaponry and extraction transport. God bless NA |
