wouldn't be surprise if it is one olodowa boi that carried out the attacks,
afterall
aregbesola the islamic puritan is olodowa
the guy dem catch for north wey wan bomb one place na olodowa.
the guy dem catch for lagos wey wan bomb wan church na olodowa
bluetooth kwa? na olodowa....

Instead of calling BH or GEJ everytime a bomb goes off we should look at the other group of people with strong jihadist ties in this country that are not hausas

As long as Nigerian remains one, I don't think the country will know peace again anytime soon since GEJ's administration cannot stop the bomb blasts as earlier promised.

Stop blaming Jonathan, the terrorists are here, who can stop them?, remember Obasanjo had no idea of how to stop the Niger Delta Violence but GEJ stopped it by going to the creeks.

"SPLIT THE COUNTRY" might sound too harsh and connote a violent explosion. i think it is will be more palatable to say "RESTRUCTURE THE COUNTRY"

I wasn't talking. . . just typing. By the way truth is relative. One book says God has a son while another book denies it..... Both books are attributed to him. Many are willing to kill/die depending on which side of this seeming contradiction their faith is based upon.
