You obviously know what am saying.
I meant that it is bigger guns that can stop criminal's guns
not prayers.
Prayers don't work , only humans with their thinking works.
One will be wasting his/her time praying for boko haram to
stop their attacks.

Who would you trust more as a body guard ,
a prayer warrior or an army colonel ?

When will the bombing get to the command center in Borno State? GEJ greatly decimated these boys, now PMB can't finish what GEJ started or even maintain the status quo. What a shame! And I have no words for his shameless supporters.

This can't be true! What! With American troops in Cameroon, South African mercenary in Nigeria and Lafyi Dole together with the military headquarters moved to Maiduguri, Boko Haram are yet to be defeated? So sad.

LMAO off. GEJ is still sponsoring them to kill the people of the North East.

Seriously, what is happening now shows that the intelligence gathering of Police, DSS and Military is very weak or nonexistent.
Good citizens in the North should be giving out information as well.

Nigeria as a country need restructuring, even the British, US knew that Nigeria will break up one day. UK has 4 countries in it, eg Wales, England, Scotland and Northern Island, then ask yourself why they cannot be one country like Nigeria, USA has all it states operating as a semi independent country, immigration law in Texas is not the same with California, China has Taiwan, Hong Kong, Tibet and Macau as part of China which are all semi independent, without confederation in Nigeria there will be no peace, Nigeria need to go back to Aburi peace accord, Nigeria will never be a progressive country because Nigeria is made up of irreconcilable entities that cannot align, Nigeria is supposed to be made up of 5 countries eg Arewa, Biafra, Midland, Oduduwa and Niger Delta Republic, under confederation just like UK, China, Netherlands etc, Nigeria need this structure for peace to reign.

This is the true story; boko haram was being sponsored by some greedy islamic northern elites to distabilize n frustrate d last administration (they where properly funded). And of course they achieved their goal by bombing churches n killing christians. Now these elites have gotten d power they craved, and neglected the bokniggers that fought for them thus making them go rogue and targeting the mosques just to send a message to their former sponsors. We have been praying for confusion in d boko haram camp (sponsors n terrorists) and the outcome is what we are seeing today. Their end is near!

Death toll in Maiduguri Mosque bombing rises to 28



At least 28 people were killed in a suicide bombing at a mosque in Maiduguri, northeast Nigeria, on Friday, raising fresh security concerns after a wave of similar attacks.

The attack happened shortly after 5:00 am (0400 GMT) in the Jidari area of the Borno state capital, which has previously been targeted by Boko Haram militants.

Maiduguri has now been hit six times this month, killing a total of 76 people, according to an AFP tally, underscoring an increased risk to civilians after similar strikes in neighbouring states and near the capital, Abuja.

Umar Sani, a civilian vigilante assisting the military in the counter-insurgency, and local resident Musa Sheriff both told AFP there were two blasts at the mosque.

“People from various mosques nearby rushed to the scene to assist the victims,” said Sani.

“I was involved in the evacuation. We counted 28 dead bodies apart from the two bombers, who were identifiable by the mutilation of their bodies.

“Over 20 other people were injured.”

Sheriff, who said he escaped with his life as he was late for prayers, gave a similar account.

Both men also said two other people were arrested and handed over to the military for questioning after they were seen apparently celebrating following the blasts.

The two men were “standing from afar, hugging each other like a celebration, chanting “Allahu Akbar” (God is greatest)”, said Sani.

“The rescuers apprehended them. They used ropes to tie them and they confirmed that two of their comrades carried out the attacks. They were unrepentant,” he added.

“To them it was a mission accomplished,” said Sheriff.

– Security concerns –

Initial reports of the attack from Nigeria’s National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) said only six people were killed and 17 others injured.

Medical sources at the University of Maiduguri Teaching Hospital and Borno State Specialist Hospital later gave a lower toll of 19 dead.

There are frequently conflicting death tolls in the insurgency and official statements often downplay the number of casualties.

Nigeria’s military has claimed a series of successes against Boko Haram, recapturing territory seized by the militants last year, as well as the mass surrender of fighters.

Senior officers have characterised the increase in suicide bombings against “soft” targets as a sign of the group’s desperation.

Nigeria’s President Muhammadu Buhari has said the military is on track to meet a year-end deadline to bring the six-year insurgency to an end.

At least 17,000 people have been killed and more than 2.5 million made homeless by the violence, which has spread into neighbouring Niger, Chad and Cameroon.

But the latest bombings in Maiduguri will likely raise questions about how militants are able to carry out such attacks on a regular basis.

Friday’s attack fits into a grim pattern of targeting places of worship and crowded spots such as markets and bus stations using multiple bombers to maximise casualties.

On October 1, a wave of suicide and bomb attacks left 10 dead in the Ajilari Cross area of the city, which was hit again on October 13, killing four.

On October 15, two suicide bombers hit a mosque in Molai, on the outskirts of Maiduguri, killing 30.

The following day, three bombers also struck just before morning prayers in nearby Umarari. Four people were killed.

Last weekend, soldiers foiled a suspected suicide attack at the city’s main army base.

Boko Haram — using the name Islamic State West Africa Province — claimed responsibility for suicide bomb attacks near Abuja on October 2 that killed 18.

Five men appeared in court on Thursday in connection with the blasts.

Common sense, should denote that the security agencies should by now realise the Boko Haram foolishly operate with a weekend schedule. They now launch attacks only on Fridays( islamic praying days)and Saturdays. The FG should by now, on Fridays, have their security personnel surveiling every worship centre. But unfortunately, they never learn.

That's why we need profilers. The earlier Bubu employs the services of foreign help, the better. Instead of wasting time expecting help from yankee, to Russia.
