Gunmen from a radical Islamist group opened fire Tuesday night at a beer parlor in northeast Nigeria, killing eight people including four police officers as part of their ongoing sectarian battle against the oil-rich nation's government, authorities said.

The shootings come as the sect known as Boko Haram has promised to target Christians in Nigeria's Muslim north, expanding its campaign of assassinations and bombings. The sect is blamed by the government for killing at least 63 people in less than week, according to an Associated Press count, as it continues its campaign to impose strict Islamic — or Shariah — law across the multiethnic nation of more than 160 million people.

Tuesday night's attack occurred in the town of Potiskum in Yobe state. Local police commissioner Tanko Lawan said the six gunmen began shooting as patrons drank beer, which the local Shariah law technically opposes, though bars remain open for those living there.

"We didn't confront the gunmen at the beer parlor," Lawan said. "Any police that goes there went on his own."

Boko Haram, whose name means "Western education is sacrilege" in the local Hausa language, is blamed for at least 510 killings last year alone, according to an AP count. In a recent attack, it killed 20 Christian Igbo traders holding a meeting in Nigeria's northeast.

The group also claimed credit for attacks that killed at least 42 people in Christmas Day strikes that included the bombing of a Catholic church near Abuja. The group also claimed an August suicide car bombing that targeted the U.N. headquarters in the capital, killing 25 people and wounding more than 100.

Nigeria's central government has been slow to respond to the sect. On Dec. 31, President Goodluck Jonathan declared regions of Borno, Niger, Plateau and Yobe states to be under a state of emergency, meaning authorities can make arrests without proof and conduct searches without warrants. He also ordered international borders near Borno and Yobe state to be closed.

However, the attacks have not stopped.

Boko Haram's promises to target Christians in Nigeria's north have sparked fears and led some Christians to flee the area. There also has been retaliatory violence in Nigeria's Christian south, including an attack Tuesday on a mosque and a Quran school in Benin City that killed at least five people.

Will you take 900k?

Lord of the Rings without a Doubt.

Where is Harry Potter?

Does it fall under this cadre?

Fool, do you think you are acting The Expendables in Nigeria?

Who told this idiot that these people are only in Borno?

Tambo, you brain-dead ex-millitant, you pull that move and you set the whole Nigerian nation on fire.

This is not an action movie, so slow your roll.

What a fool!

@ abujazz with 24 posts one wud have thot at least half of your brain shud be functioning enough to know that you post is spammy and redundant.

Kay Johnson?

Your name sounds like a Blue Movie Star's.

And the star let his number too.

Nairalanders all over the world.

Please flash this guy at every hour of the day.

Make him go kolomental.

Seun get this guy outta here and block him out for good measure.

@rg92. You are living testament that some human beings can talk out of their asses.

You belong behind bars with the Rise of the Apes family.

This is the rut that we have found ourselves.

This is a clamor for the prominent Northern leaders to stand up and weed out these demented Boko bastards.

The key to catching these a-holes is intelligence.

If they can work in tandem with SSS operatives, they can ensure these Haram harlots are caught.

They do not have to come out in the open to render support.

They can do it under the table to avoid being targeted.

But do they have the big balls to do this?

Thanks Macro. Had my mind on a Toyota Car, a Nissan boosts my options.

So what is a reasonable amount I can expect the driver to bring in weekly?

I would like to have your thots on what I should put in
my legal agreement.

Cheers!

I am about going into taxi hire as a means of supplementing my income.

I would like to know what car is best to use. Considering fuel economy, durability/road ruggedness and spare parts availability.

How much I can hope to bring in weekly? Monthly?

Would welcome any more tips and tricks that can help me out.

Thanks.

Where do you think is the toughest position to play on the pitch. I think full-backs have their work cut out. They are restricted for space and can be easily caught out of position. Running up and down a parallel line can also be a bore, lol. What you think guys?

Jaundiced journalism. This was how rumors were spread by lazybone reporters that Kaduna had been bombed with people killed and buildings destroyed.
And what actually happened was just some cans of insecticide thrown in a garbage bonfire, that left some people slighty scorched and one defaced building.
Some shameless people wud do anything to sell a crappy Nigerian Newspaper.

Thanks a Heap.

I have gone through the FAQ's and checked out the forum.

But I know the best answers to my questions would be from successful Nigerians who make money from Adsense.

So help me out people.

How long does it take to get my PIN in Nigeria?

It says I can request for the PIN, 3 times. What happens if I still don't get it?

When I cash out,  how long does it take for Google to send my check? Is it true it takes them 30 days to honor a request?

If I use the DHL method how long does it take to get my check as well?

Thanks and God Bless.

Predator 2 with Danny Glover, better than the 1st part.

Matrix 2 was better than the 1st part as well.

Know any sequels that ended up better than the original?

Let's know!

Mine

Hellboy 2: The Golden Army way better than the 1st part.

The Godfather 2 eons ahead of the first part

Spiderman 2 was better than 1 and 3 was better than 2 ( special efx advancement I guess)

Broke-ass

Most of yall are saying the album is no good cuz you are making comparisons with the previous.

The guy changed his perspective and matured on his sophomore album and yall wanna sleep on it?

Guess you were just looking for 'hot beats, class hook and wack lyrics'.

I agree this album does not hit you first time cuz you have certain expectations.

Listen again and again. And you get the koko.

M.I. and Asa are the only 9ja albums I have been banging this year.

The advent of auto-tune, has further gone to show us what we know already.

Most Nigerian artistes cannot sing.

Auto-tune is not necessarily meant to shroud this handicap, but most Nigerians use it to achieve this aim.

I cracked my brain and could only dig up

Psquare and Asa who are Auto-tune phobic.

Know any one else?

Jesse, a final reason why you should stick to producing.

On 2nd thots, we need a stronger verification about this guy.

I could easily cause chaos under the alias Boko Haram Ninja and tweet where bombs would go off next.

SALT
DESPICABLE ME
INCEPTION

Ok, Maybe-Asa
Undisputed, Action Film-M.I.

M.I.'s album was a dope album.

A show of maturation and lyrical advancement.

Though his concept of calling it M.I.2 The Movie was shoddy, hardly made sense.

Top tracks

1. Action Film

2. Undisputed

3. One Naira

4. Wild Wild West

5. Beef

6. Craze

Best Album of the year alongside Asa's.

Ok, thanks a lot guys.

Really appreciate.

You are from  that part no doubt

Another demonstration of your ignorance and stupidity.

I must be from a certain place before I see what is right and wrong.

Hope you really see why I think you need that brain transplant.

Men it seems you are a host for dull dumb and dumber.

Your stupidity clearly shows that.
Go on and post another rubbish. Fool.

But you forget you are the undisputed heavyweight.

Inasmuch as you want me to contend with you, you are doing just fine.

So I won't "go ahead and post another rubbish"

Argue with a fool and you can't tell who is who.

So please go ahead and reply this post and prove what I have been saying all along.

As for me, i have unsubscribed from this post and your overbearing stupidity.

Even an ant's IQ is more impressive than yours. And I am even being modest.

Help Anyone?

Ignorance of the highest order.

If people are silly or stupid for doing something no problem.

But what's with castigating the area?

Better wake up and grow a new brain. Your present brain cells are sure to get you into trouble one day.

You are not using it properly.

Anyways what do u expect from people fro that part[quote][/quote]@ Amychike, that's a very silly thing to say.

The air pollution of Lagos has taken their toll on my eyes.

They are always red.

And Visine and all other eye drops have done nothing to rectify this.

Is there a better way to do this?

Wash my eyes and make them white?

I need help guys ASAP.

Thanks.
