What is happening? Do we really have a government?

Enough is enough of all these killings and attack.

Ya Allah protect the Ummah over there and the whole nation at large

I wonder what other measure this government need to ensure security in this nation.

This is a terrible period for Nigeria.
I believe all these will stop one day. May God protect the innocent citizens.

na wao,what is happening to my country? Why is boko haram killing innocent people? Masses dat r already struggling in nigeria as it is and they r making it worse. This is sad.

Lord have mercy.... Is this what we signed up for as a nation... Sentiment apart... GEJ isnt really tryn... How can all these be happening under his watch and he goes about doint things as if nothing is happening.... We knw he is not a soldier... But his security chiefs need to be answering some questions from him... Seriously, i dont mind who the next president is going to be, so long he can put an end to this madness, but it seems as if GEJ cant stop these terrorist...

Emergency rule was not extended as requested by the military, now state capital are taken over because military has no laws backing to react. This is democracy

answer the question!

This is why the reps carryout their threat of impeachment, what sort of president does GEJ plans to be remembered for? The man who fiddled while people he swore to protect were mowed down!

Nairalanders pls remind me,why is Jonathan going for second term?

And you are just watching? Continue

na wa o. make Gej do resign na shu as he can't handle d crisis, hand over to someone capable, na greed of money make am nor wan resign so if na real presido when love this country like he claim he for hand over to someone else rather than sit bck and watch the north east people die not that he is even offering enough security. gej is a wicked man, greedy fool!

In as much as I don't like the way this terrorists are allowed to run rampage anytime they like, what baffles me is that when the army starts killing this bastards, the same people here will start asking some useless questions like why now?..why wait till now?..oh he is doing it now cos of election...What kind of useless country with gullible citizens is this

GEJ is busy strategizing for 2015 re-election

hopilo:
Emergency rule was not extended as requested by the military, now state capital are taken over because military has no laws backing to react. This is democracy

I don't think the military needs any emergency rule order before protecting the state capital from boko haram. The attack will be repelled very soon. But one thing this government is overlooking is the fact that boko haram can only be defeated with the full cooperation of civilian jtf and vigilantes. These civilian jtf knows their terrains and their people,they can spot strangers among them easily,they are the best weapon to use against boko haram.

By the time mr jeg finish him tenure there will not be enough hausa people in this country.

Nigeria....

Boko Haram invaded Gujuba about 2 months ago and set up a base there, Gujuba LGA is about 50km to Damaturu, What do you expect a serious army to do, retake Gujuba at all, because you can't watch an enemy lurking around a state capital, amassing weapons and men just 50km to Damaturu.
The army didnt do anything, they just stood and wait when Boko Haram will attack them in Damaturu. Behold, Boko Haram decided December 1st is the D-Day.

I just can't fashion out this type of military strategy, " WAIT TO BE ATTACK " Or are we deliberately arming, feeding them or What? The Food, weapons, utilities Boko Haram got from Mubi is enough to sustain them for one year. Now they Boko Haram don't need to buy weapons they practically get 70% of all weapons they used from Nigeria army.
