2 Bomb blasts hit northeast Nigeria, Maiduguri; gun battle despite Jonathan’s state of emergency Special to USAfrica, USAfricaonline.com, the USAfrica- powered e-groups of Nigeria360, UNNalumni, and CLASSmagazine Houston Thursday Jan 5, 2012 7:02am GMT; Maiduguri (Reuters) – Two bomb blasts shook the northeastern Nigerian city of Maiduguri on Wednesday, and a gun battle in another town killed at least one civilian, police said, the first uptick in violence since President Goodluck Jonathan imposed a state of emergency on Saturday. Heavily armed troops and tanks have been patrolling parts of northeast Nigeria since Jonathan decreed a state of emergency there in an effort to contain a growing Islamist insurgency led by shadowy group Boko Haram. The group claimed responsibility for a series of bomb attacks across Nigeria on Christmas Day, including one at a church that killed at least 37 people and wounded 57. The blasts raised fears that Boko Haram, a movement styled on the Taliban whose name means “Western education is forbidden”, is trying to ignite sectarian strife in Nigeria, Africa’s most populous nation and top oil producer. The state of emergency covers the northeast, the conflict-prone central city of Jos, and part of Niger state near Abuja. Borders with Cameroon, Chad and Niger in the northeast have been shut. A Reuters witness heard two blasts on Wednesday evening in Maiduguri, heartland of the Boko Haram insurgency. A security source, who could not be named, said two bombs had hit the perimeter fence of the Nigeria customs facility near the Gamboru vegetable market, but caused little damage and no injuries. Earlier, a girl was killed in the crossfire of a gun battle between security forces and suspected Boko Haram militants in the town of Birnawa, in the northeastern state of Jigawa. Jigawa state police commissioner Hashim Salihu Argungu told Reuters: “Our men were able to confront them. Only one girl was killed by stray bullet and one of our men was shot in the leg and he is receiving treatment.” Local press published a statement purportedly from Boko Haram this week warning the north’s sizeable Christian minority to leave or be killed, further heightening sectarian tensions in the country of 160 million split roughly evenly between Muslims and Christians. That prompted the police on Wednesday to issue a statement “all law abiding citizens to remain peaceful, calm and to go about their lawful businesses without fear of intimidation.” “Nigeria is one united and indivisible entity where citizens are at liberty to reside where they desire and practise whatever faith (they wish),” Police Inspector- General Hafiz Ringim said. |

Re: Another Bomb Blast In Maiduguri Despite State Of Emmergency! by Nobody: 10:09am On Jan 05, 2012 |
This is not war anything. This is the usual PDP script, detonate a bomb to create confusion among the populace and distract attention from the real issues at hand. They've used it on you all for so long you keep falling for it. If tomorrow MEND goes on TV and says : "Na we do am", guess what will happen? GEJ will get on the same TV and say : "MEND did not bomb. I know who did but I'm not telling". Then he'll go ahead and order his stu*pid directives as usual. Cant you all see what is happening. Pls, pls, pls read between the lines. GEJ is total evil!!!! |

The problem has gone beyond declaring emergency. The problem should be nip from the bud |
Re: Another Bomb Blast In Maiduguri Despite State Of Emmergency! by Gbawe: 10:35am On Jan 05, 2012 |
kingoflag: Precisely. In my opinion, the problem (the Boko Haram of[b] today[/b]) is PDP and those pretending to be the solution (the FG) are also from the PDP. This , simplistically, is why we are not seeing an enduring solution to the Boko Haram menace . How can a problem ever be resolved when those pretending to be the solution are also a big part of the problem? |
Re: Another Bomb Blast In Maiduguri Despite State Of Emmergency! by Obinoscopy(m): 10:39am On Jan 05, 2012 |
Guys this has gone way beyond PDP, this has become something else. Its a religious war and our politicians, who are opportunists, are simply aligning themselves with the group they think will profit them most |
Re: Another Bomb Blast In Maiduguri Despite State Of Emmergency! by Gbawe: 10:56am On Jan 05, 2012 |
Obinoscopy: No it has not. Remove toxic vendetta against the Government (PDP in my opinion), remove the sponsorship (also PDP in my opinion) and remove the specialist Knowledge of Government, including intel, aiding Boko haram currently from those who have participated or are still in Government (also PDP) then Boko Haram will be no more potent than when they last caused major problems and were contained under Yar Adua. |

I told GEJ but fear no gree am. Its so dumb declaring partial curfew when a complete state of emergency wouldve ensured those bastartds are wiped out. |
Re: Another Bomb Blast In Maiduguri Despite State Of Emmergency! by Nobody: 11:23am On Jan 05, 2012 |
Obinoscopy: Dude, THIS IS NOT A RELIGIOUS WAR NOTHING!!!! This is your Govt. terrorizing you just to creat fear and panic and distract from the real issues. Who will worry about subsidy when they heard that a bomb went off less than 2miles from their destination?! We faced it out here too during the George W Bush days, thats why GEJ's next moves are always easy to predict . Its a common method: "Confuse and Control". I'm giving you a link below. Take your time and read[b] EVERYTHING ON BOTH PAGES[/b]. If after reading everything you're still not convinced, then I doubt I can help you. But, you seem pretty smart, so I'm sure you'll get the picture. https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-838253.0.html |
Re: Another Bomb Blast In Maiduguri Despite State Of Emmergency! by Obinoscopy(m): 12:51pm On Jan 05, 2012 |
kingoflag: I culled this from your comment in the post you recommended to me. Do you think GEJ is daft enough to play with his government. Every bomb blast in this country strengthens the north-south dichotomy and threatens the very federation called Nigeria that he solely presides. Jonathan cannot afford to play that kind of politics, not in this present situation. Well you might be right with your conspiracy theory, but then again you might be far from the truth. When the real facts emerge , we'll know who's complicit in all these. God Bless Nigeria!!! |

After the whole thing blows up under GEJ's nose, he wouldn't know his left from his right; if it is a religious war or a war against Nigeria's "rulers", Nigeria is just about to become history. |
Re: Another Bomb Blast In Maiduguri Despite State Of Emmergency! by freecocoa(f): 2:05pm On Jan 05, 2012 |
I'm beginning to think GEJ himself is a sponsor of boko haram. |
Re: Another Bomb Blast In Maiduguri Despite State Of Emmergency! by aljharem3: 2:07pm On Jan 05, 2012 |
freecocoa: why do you think at he has not arrested the situation. Because he wants to make Northerners look bad so he can get sympathy from the south. Christmas day bombing, he took him 6 days before he visted the place Why has he not called from proper investigation of the Killing of Christians Muslims have vowed to protect Christians. It is that bad |
Re: Another Bomb Blast In Maiduguri Despite State Of Emmergency! by Nobody: 2:08pm On Jan 05, 2012 |
@freecocoa Hope you are not disappointing your aura of intelligence |
Re: Another Bomb Blast In Maiduguri Despite State Of Emmergency! by Nobody: 2:11pm On Jan 05, 2012 |
As far as they keep their blasts up North and kill out their subsidy seeking ass. I dont see people who thinks a static price of 65 naira for petrol stays permanent defying the logic of inflation and fluctuating oil prices in the global market place |
Re: Another Bomb Blast In Maiduguri Despite State Of Emmergency! by Gbawe: 2:33pm On Jan 05, 2012 |
freecocoa: In my opinion, GEJ has nothing to do with these bombings per se. He just cannot bring the most powerful sponsors (members of his PDP Party and previous pals) to book because , deep down, he feels they are justified to be mad at him. He knows what he has done mainly to include accepting a 'poisoned chalice' from the treacherous duo of OBJ and Anenih. We saw how so many from his Party , almost at the point of tears, swearing that GEJ signed up to and gained from zoning. All these people consistently insisted that GEJ was wrong to go against a gentleman's agreement his treacherous mentor (OBJ) enjoyed uninterrupted for 8 years. They kicked that this is OBJ's 'third term' by proxy. They warned GEJ also of "consequences". I personally don't like care those guys , since they are all selfish and only interested in their pocket and "business as usual", but the venom in their condemnation of GEJ and the actions of GEJ that confirms he is decietful and a liar (NLC recently for example) implies that this is a case of some fighting GEJ because they feel he does not understand the notion of "honour amongst thieves". As I have always stated several times, I cannot take side when two evil sides angling for the selfish control of our commonwealth fight each other. What I condemn is how they are using Boko Haram against ordinary Nigerians. These wicked folks should face each other directly and leave Nigerians be. |

No bd curse, world war 3 na nigeria e go start! What can save us this time around is COUNTRY OF EMERGENCY not state or local govt emergency. Bokos more power to ur bombs, *winks* |
Re: Another Bomb Blast In Maiduguri Despite State Of Emmergency! by sheyguy: 8:55pm On Jan 05, 2012 |
Gbawe:Thanks Mr.Gbawe, u r too much, in fact u pass them all pata pata. I tried telling them in this forum many times but they wouldn't listen. The bolded parts in your post highlights my theory and stance on Boko Haram. I hope our SS/SE brothers realise what they are doing by over-sympathizing with GEJ. The earlier they stop trying to justify their past mistakes the better for them. Like i always say "anyone charging forward but is looking backward is an accident waiting to happen". I see alot of similarities between the present happenings and that of 1966. I hope it does not get worse than it is. |

You guys nor serious. My boss GEJ is on the matter. Everybody, go home and sleep, dont worry okay? The Bokoharam thingy will soon be a thing of the past, we shall use the subsidy money to pray for guidance on how to fight bokoharam Beaf? I hope you dont mind been your alter-ego. You play the dark side, I will handle comedy 101 |
Re: Another Bomb Blast In Maiduguri Despite State Of Emmergency! by Nadanbata: 9:51pm On Jan 05, 2012 |
Im happy that you people are seeing it. Divide and conquer = best form of control. Just like the name 'Al Qaeda' has been used so to now 'Boko Haram' is being used . Open your eyes GEJ has made no serious effort in tackling boko Haram so wether or not he is involved I hold him fully responsbile. |
