Wtf? What do we expect GEJ to do? We certainly dont expect him to do nothing as the commander in chief of the armed forces, the president, the head of state, the chief security officer of the country, the man who swore to defend our lives, rights, properties, and territorial integrity.

What was he voted for if not to defend us? Is he occupying aso rock just to reduce empty space? Is he there just to loot and eat?

People like you are exactly the reason PDP gets away with its crimes.
do u wnt gej to b fightn bokoharam wt his own gun as d commander in chief?

Multiple explosions suspected to be Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) has rocked Damaturu, the Yobe State capital while sporadic gunshots engulfed the city of troubled Maiduguri on Monday morning living many residents trapped in their houses for fear of their lives.

Damaturu is 135 km West of Maiduguri, Borno State capital.

This is even as another attack at Lassa town of Askira/Uba local government area of Borno state over the week end left 11 residents dead with [/b]Churches including the biggest EYN church[b] and many houses burnt down by the Boko Haram sect.

Sources also said during the Lassa attacks, youth vigilante of the area confronted the sect this led to the killing of 41 Boko Haram members and capture of 17.

The fresh morning attack of Today (Monday) which started at about 6am in Damaturu by terrorists were targeted at police and military formations as well as selected houses, a situation that sources said left many people dead.

Reliable source told our Correspondent that “the Police Mobile Base in Damaturu was one of the security formations that came under attack by insurgents”.
“As I am talking to you now, we are in serious confusion now, gunshots and explosions everywhere especially from the southern part of the city and people are fleeing,” said an embattled resident, Mallam Usmanu Iliya.

Another resident who did not want his name mentioned for security reasons said he was woken up by the gunshots and blast which started at about 6am, and he suspects Boko Haram may be attacking.
Another resident who could barely speak as he was panting simply told our reporter that “We are running for our lives…we are under attack… We don’t know where to hide, the shooting is all over….”.

Although, as at press time, the attacks and confrontations by security operatives in Damaturu is still continuing, the actual casualty figure is yet to be ascertained.
Likewise, the sporadic gunshots that woke the residents of Maiduguri according to military sources “were not from Boko Haram sect, but a routine test of arms and ammunitions by security operatives in the state”. Even though, the development puts more fear on the minds of parents send their children to schools, while those who normally go out for work early in the morning could not do so.

Meanwhile, residents of Lassa over the week end reportedly resisted the attack on its community by engaging the attackers with locally made guns, bows and arrows.

[/b]Lassa is predominantly a Christian community[b] in Askira Uba council area of Borno state which is under control of Boko Haram sect.

Ali Mamza, a resident of Lassa town and member of the local vigilante group told reporters that,“If we flee today, tomorrow we will continue to flee and these murderer would continue to kill. If we had fled they would have killed many people. I think our decision to fight yielded as it is better that few people were killed than for hundred to be killed. We will continue to encourage ourselves, because they would keep coming, we cannot run any longer.” He said.

@bloded and Sane minds still question the rational behind boko??
GEJ must be really trying hard to depopulate the north by wiping out Christians so he could establish his Islamic caliphate.

It is not their fault. What good is your training when u r denied basic weapons to fight.As of today our gallant men in uniform are not provided with enough transport vehicle or when provided are just simple ford pick up vans without body armour. No night vision equipment, aircover,they lack enough communications equipments and so on. If u complain the military authorities will accuse you of mutiny,arrest and sentence you yo death.
So please dont blame our soldiers but the top echelons and their political masters.

Yes! If he cant or wont use the immense resources at his disposal to defeat what is essentially a ragtag militia then what is his purpose? Imagine obama telling americans he's unable to beat al qaeda so suck it up and live with it. Think he'd last a second in the white house? Heck he'd be jailed for treason.

Alexander was at the forefront of his troops. Even hitler remained in berlin. A leader is expected to, well, lead.

Its unheard of that an entire country was overrun by terrorists.

Your principal is a failure. Suck it up and deal with it.

From statistical estimation at least 1,000,000 people lost their lives in civil war that took 3 and half years.1,000,000 divided by 1260(3 & half years)=794. this means at least 794 died perday during the civil war.who told you that those that died since emeging of boko in the last five years are not more than that, who told you that we are not already in another war. who told you that that the casualities this time will not far excede last civil war? The difference btw this &the former is that this is gentle war by gentle giant.
Re: Many Dead As Insurgents Assail Security Formations In Damaturu by lanrefront1(m): 10:53am On Dec 01, 2014
Seriously, I think Government have to find a systematic way of arming the youths of this area with weapons.

This could be done in systematic way. The communities will present the recognized youths or vigilantes of their various communities. The weapons will registered and marked specially and their ballistics well noted down ( so if they are used somewhere for some other purpose it will be easily discovered) the pictures, address, and every data of people given guns will be taken down.

The guns can therefore be collected at a future date when insurgency has been defeated.

It is very glaring that these people will do a better job that the Nigerian Army if assisted by weapons. Intact Bokoharam will start thinking twice before attacking any community.

just like when Yaradua died, and GEJ could not drive the nation, to the extent that common yaradua's wife took control and was toiling with the emotions of millions of Nigerians, thereby creating the impression that she is an extra terrestrial woman

history has repeat itself again, he sure cant drive this nation
and if we dont do nothing to get him, his fat wife and well bloated son out of that office, Nigeria may disintegrate come 2015
