At least 44 persons were reportedly killed in a village near Baga Village of Kukawa Local Government Area of Borno State, emergency health workers said.
A news story monitored on online news agency, Premium Times, said that Baga was the scene of an April attack that led to the death of about 200 people, mostly civilians, with many of them believed to have been killed when soldiers allegedly set hundreds of houses on fire in retaliation at the killing of soldiers by suspected Boko Haram members.
An official of the National Emergency Management Agency, NEMA, said officials of the agency counted at least 44 corpses in Tuesday's attack by suspected members of the Boko Haram.
Residents told aide workers who visited the troubled area that about 50 armed menstormed their village and embarked on a killing spree using knives.
"Those who did not die were left with their eyes gorged out with knives, and several others seriously injured," said the NEMA official, who doesn't want to be quoted as he was not authorized to speak to the press yet.
"Many people were displaced because the Boko Haram set their houses ablaze, though we cannot say how many. We are going to Baga village on Saturday to set up camps for the displaced," the official added.
"As I am speaking to you now, Red Cross and the Medicine Sans Frontier officials are attending to the injured victims. The village has been deserted and the people are now taking refuge at the Baga central primary school."
Journalists have been unable to confirm the incident since Wednesday due to lack of communication networks, which has been grounded in the state in the last three months.
The spokesman of the Joint Task Force, JTF, Sagir Musa, could also not be contacted.
The Media Coordinator of the Multi National Joint Task Force, MNJTF, in Baga, Haruna Sani, told journalists in response to an email sent to him seeking confirmation of the incident that he had no knowledge of the attack, as he was away from his base.
"I am right now in Adamawa State for an assignment and due to the network problem, I have difficulty in reaching my Headquarters. I suggest you find out from Defense Headquarters, may be they are in the picture of the incidence. Thanks for your effort," he said.

A man who hacked into Mark Zuckerberg's Facebook page to expose a software bug is getting donations from hackers around the world after the company declined to pay him under a program that normally rewards people who report flaws.
Khalil Shreateh discovered and reported the flaw but was initially dismissed by the company's security team. He then posted a message on the billionaire's wall to prove the bug's existence.
Now, Marc Maiffret, chief technology officer of cybersecurity firm BeyondTrust, is trying tomobilize fellow hackers to raise a $10,000 reward for Shreateh after Facebook refused to compensate him.
Maiffret, a high school dropout and self-taught hacker, said today he has raised about $9000 so far, including the $2000 he initially contributed.
He and other hackers said Facebook unfairly denied Shreateh, a Palestinian, a payment under its "Bug Bounty" program. It doles out at least $500 to individuals who bring software bugs to the company's attention.
"He is sitting there in Palestine doing this research on a five-year-old laptop that looks like it is half broken," Maiffret said. "It's something that might help him out in a big way."
Shreateh uncovered the flaw on the company's website that allows members to post messages on the wall of any other user, including Zuckerberg's. He tried to submit thebug for review but the website's security team did not accept his report.
He then posted a message to Zuckerberg himself on the chief executive officer's private account, saying he was having trouble getting his team's attention.
"Sorry for breaking your privacy," Shreateh said in the post.
The bug was quickly fixed and Facebook issued an apology yesterday for having been"too hasty and dismissive" with Shreateh's report. But it has not paid him a bounty.
"We will not change our practice of refusing to pay rewards to researchers who have tested vulnerabilities against real users," ChiefSecurity Officer Joe Sullivan said in a blogpost.
He said Facebook has paid out more than $1 million under that program to researchers who followed its rules.

Nigerian Capitalism
The first government lets you keep two cows only if you vote them in.
The second government gives you two more cows during campaign and ban cow-ownership when in power.
The third government allows you to own two cows only if you buy from them, one cow at the price of two. Half cow is better than none

With all these churches trying their best to be heard tonight, how can someone even 'sleep' tonight?? Churches like Catholic and Anglican with their huge population are baying from afar.. RCCG, Winners, Deeper Life and co have sworn not to be outdone, because it seems they have enough microphones to go round the congregation and are contributing their magnified noises to the hub-bub. Even tiny churches like 'Christ For All' ministries, Blow the trumpet evangelical mission and their likes are doing their best with their mini but militant population. The worst part(-or is it best) is that Celestial Churches and their Aladura brothers have started Night Vigils too with their 'funny sounding drums'.. And this describes a typical Friday night in a typical Lagos town!

Old news.. Try to be up to date with postings here before you broadcast. Thank You

boron10: Only Man utd fans who have no value for money would place a bet against Chelsea.

Or rather, only those who have no brains will root for the son being greater than the father when it's obvious the son is a mere by-product of the father.. #TeamManUtd4Life

Well, buoyed by their Fernabache win, I trust Arsenal to give something good. But then, this is EPL and Fulham knows Arsenal.. Not seeing the Gunners finding it easy.

mega jay: in dat case, bad things infilterated ur brain early, bcoz wen I was of dat age, I never knew dat a grl had two holes between her legs

Rest well, little one. God has a better plan

Hehehe.. Craze man

Can't you feel the rush?? The consensual invitation to a pre-planned contest?? The clamour to make it all disappear??
This government must be mistaking us all for puppets. We've seen really strong cases dissolving into nothingness under our very noses, how much more, this aged allegation? Alter the records; Make her appear inconsistent; What else?? Celebrate a precognized victory

JMAN05: Most at times i here catholics make that comment. they even claim to be the first church.

I want my catholic friends to explain this claim and why they think its true.

Waiting....

Trouble is no hobby my friend. The truest faith is your conscience. It tells you what to believe and can never lead you sideways. Instead of trying to debate on what was instituted long before your great-grandfather's ancestors touched down, focus your time on knowing your true identity and when your conscience speaks to you.. Blind faith, they say, is an enemy of true knowledge..

I wish all these 'craze' over celebrity would have a cure and Nigerians would stop screaming over every blink of their eyes! Come on! My girlfriend dresses sexier in my bedroom!!

How many times am I gonna see this post TODAY?

Mine is Tamodokiari.. And I thought Jesus was the greatest Miracle worker..

You speak my mind, sire. I feel the moderators have little idea about how to discern which topics should grace the frontpage. Although, we must admit fewer Nigerians are really interested in the more serious affairs aside gists and gossips. In a way, Nairaland is serving the majority demands and in doing so, losing their discipline. I feel there should be a major reform here. People, myself included, are losing the basic essence of information, because in truth, it's becoming a whirlpool centred on celebrities.

Open the bluetooth dialog and Type 'Comment ca va?'

Mehn, this is like cold Okra soup..without maggi sef

Life of a celebrity. If you sneeze, the bacteria you release into the atmosphere would be counted and examined.
But sha, at 38, she's still into boyfriends.. Now who's using who?

I hope people can learn from this about the importance of trust, truthfulness and selflessness to human relationships and co-existence. God will reward you both for being great examples to the world.

I once viewed a comparison between Uche Jombo and Ini Edo on TV and by jove, Ini Edo's documented love life is very far from what you'll call blissful. The walls have it that they both 'frolick frivolously' independent of one another. Looks are deceptive o.

Bros don't be o. The God that saw you through, to and fro definitely has a plan and place for you here, otherwise, you won't have made it this far. Try to know God's direction for you by submitting yourself to his will through prayers and devotion. Most times, our plans and God's design don't match

I wonder if one should be happy or sad??

At least here's a good one.. Nigerian babies are really worth something.
