[quote author=BlacSmit post=74251506]Militants linked to the Islamic State (IS) group have hoisted their flag in a Nigerian town after seizing control of it, three residents have told the BBC. Hundreds of people have fled the fishing town of Baga after the militants overran it on Wednesday night, the residents said. The militants seized weapons from a military base, and torched a naval base on the shores of Lake Chad, they said. The military denied Baga had fallen, saying the attack had been repelled. But PRNigeria, an agency well-connected with the military, quoted an intelligence officer as saying that troops had made a "tactical withdrawal" from their base after coming under attack. "The Nigerian Air Force in response to distress call quickly mobilised military aircraft and flew over 20 sorties [on] Wednesday night and throughout Thursday," it quoted the unnamed officer as saying. A resident, who spoke to the BBC after he fled Baga, said a militant led the morning prayer on Thursday at his mosque in the town. Other armed militants were present at the mosque, and prayed there too, the resident said. The militants told the congregation that civilians would not be targeted and were free to leave the town, he added. The fighters identified themselves as being members of the Islamic State's West Africa Province (Iswap), an IS affiliate which has distanced itself from Boko Haram, the main insurgent group in north-eastern Nigeria. The Bokoharam are strengthen by influx from neighbouring countries. |

Intrepid01:Spare me the sentimental bullshyt...Buhari's administrative and economic incompetence is documented in the archives of history..Nigeria nosedived into her first taste of recession under Buhari and yet you have the galls to say it wasn't known? You were busy on instagram and twitter not to know of your country's history, a country you claim to love so much...you've made your choice in 2015, allow others make theirs in 2019. 2 Likes |

Intrepid01:it is better to let a man who can hear than a man who can't hear . How could you possibly explain the fact that our soldiers are being displaced in their hundreds in Baga while the man who told Nigerians in 2015 that he will lead the war from the fronts is campaigning in Uyo,how do we explain such foolishness?In sane climes he is supposed to be in the tactical strategy room with the map of Nigeria on the table giving instructions on how to win the war as a former general. 1 Like |

BlackSoldier: Nigeria is a member of the World Council of Churches as well as other Christian organisations. Plus, since we joined OIC...the chruch has grown faster than the mosque. Besides, we are a member of the World Handball federation...how many Nigerians play handball.? There is no agenda to Islamize Nigeria? How come ALL armed forces, services chiefs and security apparatus in Nigeria is controlled by Islam And how many converts has Buratai won for Islam? The same muslim Buratai that keeps snakes in his spare time..snakes that are 'haram'. And our Navy and CDS are headed by Christians, plus there are far too many high ranking Christians in sensitive positions in the Army and Police. and other organisaitons.... And suppose Buaratai used the Army for jihad? The Army that disproprtionaly recruits from the Middle Belt ? The army that would be split along relgious lines?..and would lead to anarchic crisis? And all those Muslim captains of industry like Dangote....would they suppoprt something that would harm their bottom line? See Sudan that tried to islamise their whole country...and the Christians were in a minority. Not only did they end up with thirty years of anarchy(and the Darfur region is not at peace yet)...they eventually lost three quarters of their country, and lost access to 80% of oil revenue.Now their country is in chaos. And at one time, they were running around shouting Jihad. Are Christians so weak that they must always be scared of Islam? Nigerian Christians that are richer, more educated,more powerful more connected than South Sudanese. Me, I know there are mad islamists in this country....but they don't have the numbers to do nada. Sharia that was implemeted in some parts of the country has done nothing. Come, let us Chrsitains sort out our problems. Like our corrupt Christian leaders, our violent millitants, etc. Same for the Muslims. The Islamists and Zionists and Chrsitianists are not coming for us. |
