[size=14pt]How many more bombs before GEJ declares a state of emergency in Borno state?[/size] How can he go to sleep at night with no definitive, reassuring action to all Nigerians that these devilish acts are not creeping towards the door.

He should know that these people have bigger fish to fry - the talk of negotiations is a diversionary tactic. There is nothing to negotiate on - their main complaint is a non-issue

President GEJ should think about what his legacy will be. A strong or a weak presidenty. These acts are directly aimed at ending of his government and democracy in Nigeria.

It is time for the president to act with a "strong" harmer.

He should go after their sponsors. These are no longer home made bombs, they are sophisticated, which shows they come from abroad. No be cow aboki take buy these bombs, it is hard currency.

Go after their financiers no matter how high ranking, and cut off their supply line. That way, they become impotent to strike as deadly as they have been doing recently.

•Islamic sect kills 30 in sporadic shooting at beer parlour in Borno

It was another day of tragedy yesterday as members of the Boko Haram sect stormed a drinking joint in the Maiduguri metropolis killing no fewer than 30 people even as fears heightened in Bauchi over rumour of fresh attack.

A source told Daily Sun that the members numbering about 10 had arrived at a popular drinking joint at Dala Kwamti around the Dala Alanderi area of the Borno State capital at about 6 pm in a convoy of two cars and started shooting sporadically.

Another source also claimed the men rode to the area on motorcycles from different direction, to beat the heavy security in the city.
“I don’t think they came in a convoy of cars as suggested. They might have ridden on motorcycles from different directions to beat the soldiers and police at a junction close to the area. They started firing shots from different directions into the joint and there were many people there at that time because it was not dark yet,” a resident of the area told Daily Sun on telephone.

It was also gathered that the Vice Chairman of Ngala Local Government, Alhaji Baba Kamfut and two others were shot and killed on Saturday night. Details of the killing of Kamfut were sketchy as at Press time, but sources said he was killed in his residence within the metropolis.
Unconfirmed report claimed the second victim was killed on Sunday while sympathisers were at the deceased local government boss house to condole with his family. Gunmen were said to have stormed the place again and shot two; one of whom died on Sunday, the source claimed.

Efforts to get official confirmation from the police as at Press time yielded no results. The Police Public Relations Officer, ASP Abdullahi Lawal, could not be reached as his mobile line was unavailable.
Meanwhile, palpable fears yesterday gripped the residents of Bauchi metropolis over a rumour of fresh attack by Boko Haram. The fears were heightened as unconfirmed reports claimed yesterday that the group plans to attack parts of the Bauchi State capital.

Residents in Yelwa told Daily Sun that the Rafin Zurfi was one of the places slated for attack.
A resident, who opted for anonymity, said as a result of the news, the men in the area formed themselves into groups patrolling at night in order not to be taken unaware. Daily Sun learnt that the insecurity was believed to have been heightened by rumours that there had been a bomb explosion at Tafawa Balewa Local Government Area.

It turned out that there was no bomb explosion in the volatile Tafawa Balewa council headquatres, but a fire, which gutted the treasury department.“Bauchi is one of the states where Boko Haram had a running battle with the law enforcement agencies.“Such onslaught had led to the killing of many of the Boko Haram members and policemen. For instance, on July 26, 2099, the group had an all-night attack on Dutse Tanshi police station. Several members of the sect and two policemen were killed.

“On September 7, 2010, the group stormed Federal Prison in Bauchi and freed about 700 of their detained members facing trial. Innocent people had also been killed when the group carried out a spate of bomb attacks at Mammy Market in the 33 Artillery Brigade headquatres, Bauchi.“The group has also threatened more attacks and Bauchi is one of the states the Boko Haram wants Sharia law to be implemented as conditions for peace.”

Many people were considering the option of leaving the state en masse as a result of the insecurity if the situation does not improve. A week ago, a student of the Bauchi State-owned Polytechnic, Abba Abdullahi, was murdered on campus, prompting the students to protest against insecurity. However, the Police Public Relations Officer, ASP Mohammed Barua, said the police were investigating the murder and assured the public that it would ensure protection of lives and property of citizens.

Barau could, however, not be reached to react to the news of the plan to attack some places as at Press time.
“There is actually, a threat to security that is why we must all be vigilant and secure yourself and property. It is only God that can save us for now,” another resident who said he was among those patrolling all night in Yelwa said.

This is VERY bad for investment!

Why must I be in a nation with these people?

It is only a matter of time, will they start to bring this nonsense to Abuja and Lagos.

Pure Evil. And they profess to be devout moslems ?

What needs to happen is for the so called government to seal the borders with Chad and Niger and then cary out a thorough check of all neighbourhoods in all the affected states. Some Nigerians may be involved in this wickedness, but i believe the foot-soldiers are foreign: these useless Chad and Niger poverty stricken nationals that can come into Nigeria at will (owing to the porous nature of the borders that leak like a basket) and waste lifes for a tenner. They owe no allegiance to Nigeria and don't give a shi*t about its people.

The people of these states -at some point- need to say enough is enough, and identify all the strangers and suspicious people amongst themselves to the authorities. These evil spawn of the devil dress as locals and live with them so the key to stopping this nonsense lies primarily with the inhabitants of these states.

Honestly, i tire for this country. If this goes on for much longer, all the foreign investors will flee (that's if they haven't done so already ), and we'll see countries like Ghana, Togo and Benin overtaking us economically while we're busy running about like headless chickens.

I doubt these acts are being committed by foreigners. Do you hear the same bombings occurring in Chad and Niger where there is also Western education?

These Nigerians killing fellow Nigerians, because of religion.

I noticed a sudden sporadic trend to their methods of operation . . .they have suddenly gone wild since the task force took over security in the state . . .leaving their initial susceptible targets of police officers, but now targeting civilians at beer selling outfits to incur huge casualty . . . we are in a phase where their sporadic and careless activities will be their undoing, either being found out by joint military task force outfit or fed up inhabitants given their identities away . . .The presence of the task force has unbalanced them . .hence their show of sporadic force to prove they are still capable of operating diverting attention to sharia related killings . . . . their days are indeed numbered . . .am very sure of that considering their recent actions revealing fear beneath it . .in proving who is the boss

The time has come. A state of emergency should be declared in state as soon as possible. These terrorists should be terrorized a little since it seems they having a good time.

religion interpreted literally creates fundamentalist groups like Boko Haram who then commit radical acts of terrorism such as this.

Nigeristan will be worse than Afghanistan when we fully get into business. Afghanistan enemy is the West, and they are so far away, whereas the enemy in Nigeristan is within. Years of built up hatred and anger, when finally unleashed, only God knows what will become of this sick country.
