Another member of the vigilante group, Isa Biu said: “The attackers rode on bicycles to invade Kimba. They had guns and they just opened fire on villagers.”

However, speaking to AFP, Mustapha Karimbe, a civilian assisting the military in fighting Boko Haram, said the number of casulaties is at least 14.

Op, this made front-page yesterday, and the source was daily post. So what else do you want?

You mean after the social media agents of change were hosted and brown envelope shared few days ago, they should come and report what their paymaster said had ended? NO!!!

because it's sidon look government

Those are microscopic and insignificant attacks the government are not going to be bothered about those ones

The media are keeping quiet because it is a pact reached between them and FG to henceforth be doing so. Remember the killing of 105 soldiers by BH, the military denied it and the media equally kept mute. Thousands of soldiers are being buried daily in this fight and media is a collaborator in non reportage

@op where was d bomb blast?

you should be more concerned about the lives that were affected rather than about what makes frontpage or not

What did you do to arrest the situation?

We are in change era. Era of talk No evil only good of confused government.

The media houses are not fools. They knew where we are today was caused by an incompetent President. They know it will be foolhardy to blame a new government for the rot caused by the past government. They could see the sincerity, honesty, determination, effort and zeal put by the current government to combat the issue.

I think it is not a bad approach. Too much importance was given to the insurgents and they thrived on it. However, let our attention be diverted to other things whilst the military handle them proportionately. When they noticed we do not feel concerned, they shall surrender.

why cant boko haram face buhari, burantashi, and all the politicians?
why are they facing poor innocent hardworking nigeria villagers?

Dunno wat to call u wif this post of urs, just common sense you can't make.

And how was this a bomb blast? MuMu

Media is silent, but you not only obtained your info from the same media, you even posted the same information you obtained from the media with a media link on NL.


You people post the dumbest rubbish on NL.

I really don't know if it's really by force for you people not to ever make any damn sense.

By denying it never happened or playing tg ostrich on the attacks dies not in any way invalidate that it didn't happen.

Trust me, that is the exact kind of attitude that led them to bomb the UN building in Abuja!! It will only enbolden Boko haram to do more; and it will encourage the incumbent government to get lazy and do less!

Government can always deny or pretend that its own citizens were never attacked; but when foreign diplomats or Nationale's are attacked, denial equals complicity!!


When Buhari came into power; the first - and the most foolish - security call he made was to remove all military check points in Nigeria, including the entire North!!

What he didn't know was that, the very model adopted by the Military in crafting these checkpoints, as well as the framework for supervising them and parleying with the local community as a means of gaining intelligence and ensuring smooth communication between "Protector" and the "protected"; which resulted in the various STF's and JTF's in the north was designed Da Jonah Jang - the former governor of plateau state - (who happens to be a retired Airforce Air Commodore)!!

He ordered their removal, and all hell broke lose: multiple attacks, clashes with no line of defence except our weak police, increased spate of suicide bombings - even Jos that is highly dominated by Christians wasn't left out - the second time, he reordered their return but chose to do it outside the radar of the media!

Question!! Did General Muhammadu Buhari apologise for the lose of lives that resulted from that reckless decision? The answer is no!!

Second Question! What has the government said so far about the additional 107 children that were adopted again in borno? The answer is nothing!

Why? The Media consciously placed it outside the radar!!
And yet, using the same Media, they - APC - gave Jonathan hell over the Chibok girls!!

The next question! How far will the government really go with this Media blackout in reporting specific issues and what hope is there for transparency and accountability if the government, armtwists the media into this kind of a nonchalance??

Your guess is as good as mine!!
