Of all the bombings they have executed, how many investigations has your stooooopid Jonathan conducted? Even if he did in what way has his stooopid investigation been of help to us and our collective safety & security. Are you even resident in naija? i guess you are not and we are here at risk every single second of the day and we come on NL and try to hold the chief security officer of the nation responsible for his inaction and you come on here to yarn buuull sheeet. Idio.ts like you need to be deported ASAP! So you come here and maybe youll understand what BokoHaram is all about.

I'm so sorry for you, if all this rubbish you said made sense to you.
On september 11th 2001, Two commercial jetliners were flown into the World Trade Center.
Same day, another plane was flown into the ground close to the pentagon.
The President of the U.S Mr George Bush pointed fingers at Al-queda and Bin Laden.

Several U.S platoons, Commands and troops were moved into Afghanistan... It was a full blown war.
10 years later and several billons of dollars spent and Binladen was only killed in May 2011.
That was a full war situation o!!
3 years after Sept 11 2001, Bush says Iraq had weapons of mass destruction and ordered an invasion of Iraq.
He even called it the "axis of evil".
Barely 1month after the invasion, Baghdad was siezed and President bush was caught on camera saying "We won". .
This is over 7 years after that famous speech on that Navy sheep.
Over 500 U.S Army troops have died since then. Several billions spent.
Do we blame it on bush?!

You seem to think that the president sits in Aso rock and has CCTV covering Nigeria.
In your wisdom, you actually think he knows where the Boko Haramites are hiding and hasnt captured them?!
What do you want Jonathan to do for you please?!
He came out the other day and said the Nigerian Army was not up to international standard, Nigerians attacked him.
He sends your international standard Army to Kaduna and thay cant even catch boko. (Although I dont blame them).
Do you realize how difficult it is to fight a group like boko Haram in non-war situation?!

Nwokem have a rethink. . Its not wise to keep blaming the president for evry and anything. . He isnt GOD!

Are you this dumb? Since September 11, 2001, has there been any terrorist attack on American soil? How many bombing attacks have we had in Nigeria since the October 1, 2010 bombing? Whatever the American Presidents have done or not done, they have managed to prevent terrorism on their soil for over a decade. It is now almost a weekly event in Nigeria and you are here not picking sense from even your own post!

wirinet:

If we cannot hold GEJ responsible, then who should we hold?
Massive fraud in NNPC, GEJ not responsible.
Massive corruption in pensions office, not GEJ fault.
Near collapse of the capital market, GEJ has no blame.
Near total black out throughout Nigeria, GEJ not responsible.
Boko Haram bomb at will, including very close to aso rock despite warning from foreign intelligence agencies, not GEJ's responsibility.

So what exactly are GEJ's responsibilities?

If boko harams sponsors plan to make us believe that GEJ is incompetent, then they have done an excellent job.

So how are we to show that we are not ready to be taken for a ride? Carry a gun and lynch any northern Muslim we come across north of the niger? Please tell me what you want us ordinary defenseless citizens to do.

ITs easy to get carried away by cheap sentiments. . . But let me ask you this;

1. If you were Jonathan, what would you do?!

2. Since you are not Jonathan, what is your solution to the Boko Haramites?
Re: Bomb Blast At Thisday Office, Jabi, Abuja by forkadict(m): 3:02pm On Apr 26, 2012
Granted. Boko Haram might just might not be responsible for the blast. But i am sick of hearing about bomb explosions in naija! And to further hear about deaths resulting therefrom makes me depressed. This is just not right. people, lets not wait until we or our loved ones become casualties before we appreciate the kind of evil facing us.

Olaolufred:

If Boko Haram had started before Jonathan, Why would you die-hard Jonah's fan continue to claim that it was politically motivated to distabilize his government?
He has nothing to offer,not to talk of anything on table to be distabilized.

GEJ supporters failed to understand that a crime is a crime, no matter who committed it.
They turn it to politics and so our govt became responsible for the death of citizens due to its complacency.
Wake up, and tell your mumu guy to stand up and act.

Nduka (the thisday publisher) has always been hobnobbing with the powers that be. (dining with the devil). He uses the powers of his publishing outfit to bootlick, praise, promote, and sometimes blackmail political/corporate leaders to get his way. He also uses phantom awards (Thisday awards) to ender himself to them.

Re: Bomb Blast At Thisday Office, Jabi, Abuja by Southernnigeria: 3:10pm On Apr 26, 2012
Southern Nigeria stretches from the Benin border in the west to the Cameroon border in the east. It is bordered by Northern Nigeria in the north and the Atlantic ocean in the south. It's most populous city is Lagos which is located in the South-West of the region. The Republic of Southern Nigeria has occasionally being proposed to help separate and protect the moderate Muslim, Christian and Animist south from the more radical north of Nigeria. The people of this region embrace education and international laws which include respect for basic human rights. This region was originally a wealthy separate region before the British amalgamation with the north in 1914. This was done to help finance the poorer north. The Republic is yet to become official due to distrust and uncertainty between the major tribes within this region. This distrust comes from years of British military tactics which sought to divide then conquer. This division technique has remained in the hearts of the older generation who still see other tribes within their region as dishonest and insincere despite the absence of any factual or hard evidence of mistrust or betrayal. Specialists identify that the ability of the more moderate and educated south to break away may lead to initial violence and uncertainty before becoming an influential nation in the region. It is often thought that the Northern part of the country wishes to control the oil rich Niger-Delta and hence is willing to do whatever it takes to maintain the amalgamation of 1914. Contested areas include Abuja, Kwara and various parts of the troubled Plateau State.

Now are the Nigerian security agencie on the same level with that of the U.S?! Another bomb may not have gone off on U.S soil but best believe me that when the terrorists decide to, there is only that much that the Americans can do. The americans have the advantage of technology and age/time tested investigation techniques. . . What has Nigeria got!?
Forget America, lets go to Iraq that was under U.S Control even after the fall of Saddam, virtually 1 U.S soldier dies od an IED since the day Bush declared victory aboard the USS Abraham lincoln, why is that?! The simple trick being they do not have the same resources at their disposal as they do in America. . And they even had the advantage of a full scale war. .

Nigeria is not at war, the army has to fight these Boko Haram guys without disrupting daily activities as much as possible. How easy do you think it is?! The Boko Haram guys dont wear a certain uniform, nor do they look or have distinct facial features. . You need to think from a broader spectrum and ask yourself how you would have tackled this if you were in charge.

In other words you say that despite the measures taken to combat terrorism in the US, the Americans are still at the mercy of the terrorists? I'd like to hear your thoughts on that matter.

I however agree that GEJ cannot be held responsible for these security breaches but he isn't helping his case by making pronouncements that aren't backed by effective action. He at one point claimed that he knew who the sponsors of Boko Haram are. . .

Abeg, maclatunji and clowns like fork addict; you guys don't worry, GEJ will soon carry a bucket around Nigeria to pick up bombs and dispose of them. From Kano to Maiduguri to Abuja to Sokoto to Minna to Gombe...

Instead of some folk to buy monkeys to entertain people in the market, they come to NL to talk loudly and insult the President about foolish stuff.

I just thank God that the casualty number was not so high. And pple just ran towards the bomb site. SMH. I wonder what they were going to see, what if they had been anoda bomb?

Why do you always come back weaker? for the last time, I never supported GEJ and won't for reasons best known to me, check my previous post and be objective for once. No one is trying to transfer the responsibility of the president or presidency in providing security to her citizenry. All am saying here is that, we should apply sanity in reasoning. Thanks.

By the way, read more about boko haram. You can do that by searching one of my threads "Boko Haram. The Full Package!", I did a wonderful job there by trying to make available the history of boko haram and possible solutions to their menace. I'm going to post the links to that thread shortly.(I'm using my phone).

It was blatant indictment of GEJ/Yar adua's government!. But that's not enough to be shouting boko haram or calling for GEJ's head after every bombings/incident, we have to be sure of what we are dealing with.

Re: Bomb Blast At Thisday Office, Jabi, Abuja by TheShopKeeper(m): 3:51pm On Apr 26, 2012
To all those talking rubbish that GEJ should not be responsible, you are all fools of the highest order.
Let's put all sentiments aside, despite all his statements that all those involved will be prosecuted why is that we're yet to see anyone prosecuted in the law courts in the last 18 months. All we hear is condolsences to the grieving families.
The government should get their acts together and kick some butts. It's high time heads start to literally roll in all our security establishments as they're complete useless and ineffective. If GEJ can't rule let him stop wasting his and our time and let someone more effective carry on. It's not by force to be president.
Someone made a valid point, since Sept 2001, how many bomb attacks have taken place in the US - none. Likewise in the UK since July 2005, how many attacks have been recorded, answer is none. Why is that the bomb attacks keep going on here like christmas fireworks everywhere. Those in government don't care an iota about what happens to the common man on the street. They're only paying lip service to security.

So far you are romancing them in Aso rock, nothing else bother you.
I know you are the hardest-dying GEJ supporter.
If your father had not been responsible enough to make you something in life,
probably you will be far from knowing what is called keyboard.
If you are to say the truth, who is responsible for all these bombings.
Having answered that, are they bigger than the Nation Nigeria?
If they are not, Then who is not doing his job?
As for you, I know you will never be concerned with those questions because you are one of the "sharers" whose destiny is tied to Goodluck's presidency.

That expands the suspects to playing politics with peoples life. Danger is that the Bombers have shown that they are capable of striking at new and unsuspecting targets.

I know the FBI prolly have some immigrants and suspects on their watch lists, Wire taps and all other methods they employ to check the activities of terrorists. . . But this is what I mean by "There is only that much the Americans can do". .

Before Pearl Harbour, The Americans anticipated an attack, Had the japanese Armed forces and fleets under survellance, took steps to guard against an attack, yet. . . .


My own solution to this "IF I WERE THE PRESIDENT" would be a sting operation. . . That would be aimed at getting the sponsors and not the bombers. But sting takes alot of time to perfect (and maybe that what Jonathan is doing).

9/11, similar story. . . We all heard the conspiracy theories that flew around. . . Still, a couple of Arabs came to the U.S, registered in flight schools across the country and learnt how to fly commercial jets and still succeeded in carrying out their attack. . .

The fact remains that these terrorists have the element of surprise on their side. . They know much more about the government than the government knows about them... Its not like they have a timetable of attacks that specifies where and how. . . The U.S with all its technology has some sleeper cells under surveillance but I can assure you that they dont know all...

In Nigeria its worse. . . No reliable data base of any kind, The armed forces are poorly equipped to fight this type of non-conflict type war. . If it was like the MEND group that had a uniform, a logo, a base and a known area of operation (Niger Delta Creeks & waterways) with easily recognisable targets (Oil installations, Expartraites and Government officials) then they would have had some sort of advantage. . But these NappyHead terrorists have no known target as they up and blow up wherever whenever (both musims and christians alike, government and non-government, e.t.c), no known base and no specific area of operation (today Kano, tomorrow Jos, next Bauchi. . .e.t.c), and the ARMY cant just walk in and go house to house and do whatever it takes to get the job done as this is a democratic setting and the state they are in are not a war zone, howelse do we want this menace to be solved. . . . . Thats what I mean by that.

Sorry to read this, yet people are saying that we should not hold our government and leader accountable. This lady is someone a lot of us relate with- just imagine how close she was to losing everything. Please, before you post crap in support of GEJ. Know that people's lives are at stake here. Including yours wherever you think you may be hiding in the world. Terrorism is contagious. An act of terrorism in Papua New Guinea may inspire somebody in Kivuki land to do the same. Let us put those who should stop it under pressure to do so or we remove them even if they are our brother!

I agree with you but lets be honest. We say GEJ is incompetent, Which Nigerian Politician would do better? To me replacing Jona wld just be a case of frying pan to fire or at the very least fire to frying pan. What our Nation needs is either a division or a revolution. Personally I hv always depended solely on God for my protection. After all except God watches a house the wacthman wathcheth in vain. But that doesnt mean the watchman shldnt watch I guess.

Keep dancing from pillar to post. GEJ every time he says "he is assuring Nigerians of safety" is taking responsibility for preventing the bombings or have you seen any other person coming out to "assure Nigerians" that he/she will deal with perpetrators for each and every bombing that happens?

Similar tactics. . . I say they are. . Just a smaller operation here in Nigeria.

And what would you have the president do?! Tell Nigerians to panic and run amork?! Whats your point?! Nigeria is not America. . We dont have the same facilities here that they have there and this is as a result of no fault of Jonathan but rather years of decay. . For the first time, the Nigerian police has had to deal with more than armed robbery and collecting bribe for traffic offences to tracking down and fighting guerilla Boko Haram and MEND fighters, difusing IED's and fighting terrorism. . Is it that 3 weeks Police training school that they learn all this from?!
If you expect a President that wouldcome in and stop Boko Haram in one fell swoop, then I'm sorry. . Its either you are electing the head of BOKO HARAM into office or Dumbledore (cos I doubt Jesus can solve this).

ThisDay Newspaper office in Abuja Attacked in Aparent Suicide Bombing

At least one death and several casualties have been reported in an attack this morning at ThisDay office in Jabi, Abuja. This story is still developing but you might recall that the United States Embassy in Abuja put out a warning to its citizens about a potential attack on Nigeria's capital, Abuja 9 days ago.

[b]The warning which was contained in a statement dated 17th April, 2012 amongst other things read:

The U.S. Mission in Nigeria issues the following emergency message for the attention of all U.S. citizens in Abuja, Nigeria. The U.S. Embassy has received information that Boko Haram may be planning attacks in Abuja, Nigeria, including against hotels frequently visited by Westerners. The U.S. government has no additional information regarding the timing of these possible attacks. The Nigerian government is aware of the threat and is actively implementing security measures.

The Embassy reminds U.S. citizens to exercise additional caution. Please maintain a high state of vigilance and personal security awareness, particularly in and around Abuja, Federal Capital Territory, near Nigerian government facilities, diplomatic missions, large gathering places, hotels, markets and malls, and places of worship. We advise all U.S. citizens to review their personal security plans, remain aware of their surroundings, including local events, monitor local news stations for updates, and report specific incidences of targeted violence to the U.S. Embassy in Abuja or the U. S. Consulate General in Lagos at the numbers below. For additional information, please refer to “A Safe Trip Abroad.[/b]

It is yet to be confirmed who is behind these attacks but immediate suspicion would be on Boko Haram, the religious sect that has waged a campaign of terror in Nigeria for close to 5 years now.

@bolded, see America taking responsibility for the safety of Americans in Nigeria. And we have some people here telling us that we should not hold our Chief Security Officer and Commander-in-Chief of our armed forces for the widespread lack of security in OUR OWN COUNTRY.


Nigerians are we this slow?
