3 Bombs rock Northeastern Nigerian City; Many Dead - North Now Like Iraq by Nobody: 8:56am On Apr 25, 2011
KANO, Nigeria — Three bomb blasts have hit a city in northeastern Nigeria, leaving a number of people killed and wounded in an attack believed to have been carried out by an Islamist sect, police said.

The blasts on Sunday night ahead of Tuesday's state governorship elections occurred at a hotel tavern and outside the gate of a transport hub in Maiduguri, police spokesman Mai Mamman said.

Unrest swept across Nigeria's north following April 16 presidential elections, with hundreds believed killed.

Maiduguri has long been hit by violence blamed on an Islamist sect known as Boko Haram, which launched an uprising in 2009, though some of the recent attacks are believed to have been politically linked.

"For sure casualties were recorded, but we cannot say how many dead or how many were injured in the blast," Mamman said.

"The victims were evacuated to two hospitals in the city. We will have to sort out the victims to ascertain how many were dead and how many were injured. From all indications, this is the handiwork of Boko Haram, which have carried out similar attacks in the past."

Of the three blasts, two occurred at the hotel and one at the motor park.

Boko Haram had distributed fliers earlier Sunday warning of further insecurity.

The security situation in Nigeria is appaling. This country needs reengineering.

I am sorry to say but this is instigated by external forces beyond our borders.

Iran and or Saudi Arabia easily come to mind.

Thank God Buhari did not win

That was the real MEND and they expressed regret whenever their operations led to the loss of any civilian lives.

We regret any civilian loss of life that may have occurred from the attack.

This new "Aboki MEND" doesn't give a toss about civilian lives, in fact they lust after blood. Aboki MEND has been blowing up the place since Oct 1 last year.

I agree, and I hope to God that they are rounded up soon after the elections when there will be no need to keep a fragile peace by all means.
The animals must be picked up and if any foolhardy almajiri decides to kill, burn and loot in response, the FG must persuade them and calm their nerves with deadly bullets.

As for the so called Boko Haram, we might need to invade Niger Republic to drive the message home that we will no longer tolerate their fvcked up citizens crossing our borders to forment trouble after getting paid.

I pray that it will be gloves off time after the elections.

FOO-OOL it has not yet occurred to you that Buhari's presidency would av put an instant end to this crisis!

For the records, go and read about the scary Islamic maitatsineh Sect (believed to be invisible when they attack) so brutal, wild, devilish and inhuman (Boko Haramites are actually like child's play to the maitatsineh sect) But buhari destroyed and buried the sect during his regime as a military head of state.

Majority of us voted him because we know this errant non-sense wouldn't happen in his government.

It would simply grow instead. I don't believe Buhari even knows how to use the internet, yet things like the election riots are said to have been organised via twitter.

Your current Government has not been able to quell the Boko Haram menace yet and all you can do is thank God?

For chrissake, let's be realistic and not let our political affiliations cloud our reasoning ability.
Every right thinking person should have figured out that these are not politically but rather religously motivated violence.
Say whatever you like, but the fact remains that violence have been erupting in the north even before the general elections. The fact that a christian southerner won only aggravated the situation. I hope we will all get down on our knees and start praying because I foresee very rough times ahead. God bless Nigeria, but if splitting is the only solution to this menace, I have no objection.
Re: 3 Bombs rock Northeastern Nigerian City; Many Dead - North Now Like Iraq by chamber2(m): 2:46pm On Apr 25, 2011
I think the best option remains to split this country. The Northerners are becoming very senseless and inhuman.I can't understand the rationale beside the killing of innocent citizens in the name of election which has never favoured the common man.The north have had the largest chunk of national wealth and yet remain the most impoverish and backward.Why not attack those responsible for your predicaments,why innocent citizens who meant no harm?The north receive the largest amount of scholarship grant and yet they refuse to go to school.They claim that their religion is the best and yet refused to prove it.What is really wrong with these nihilists?

I ask again, CAN ANYTHING GOOD COME OUT OF NORTHERN NIGERIA?
Re: 3 Bombs rock Northeastern Nigerian City; Many Dead - North Now Like Iraq by EzeUche3(m): 2:48pm On Apr 25, 2011
Yes, let us split this nation. We have nothing in common with the North. Haven't people realized that by now?
Re: 3 Bombs rock Northeastern Nigerian City; Many Dead - North Now Like Iraq by StudioCFR(m): 2:55pm On Apr 25, 2011

thats why they would never progress. . .

Useless people.
Beggerz!

This Presidency is weak.

Killings have been taking place in the North for so long now,so why wait after elections to stop this fvcking s h i t. What has been happening the whole time?

Do you see your numerous posts on same subject as strategic fulcrum or what?
I hate to tell you it's ad nauseam.
For f^^k sake stop being a coward lieutenant, please lead your people or family out.

Don't blame the presidency, the north is naturally inclined to violence and there is nothing anybody can do about it. The best option is to split the country.

You cannot blame the President that has been occurring  since he was a young lad. Violence in Northern Nigeria is old as Nigeria itself.

You talk exactly like one of those almajiri's. That is how they prime themselves for violence, they make claims like GEJ is weak, he is a coward, he has no political constituency, he is a dunce, his PhD must be questioned etc. Yet each time they go into battle with him and come out looking like weak FOOLS. I wonder why? grin

Dude, do yourself some good and leave Hausa-Fulani style campaign tools.
Any Southerner or Middle Belter meaninglessly mouthing such backward methods only looks like an easily influenced robot and a political tool.
