chukwudi44:
According to you yorubas act with a devastating bile ask GEJ. Can you remind me again what was the margin of APC's Victory in the SW after making the loudest noise. APC won the elections because of the votes from the north and not because of the sw.

chukwudi44:
Continue to fool yourself. JK is as good as the Next Governor of Lagos state. The oba is a stupid and power drunk fool. Many yorubas are not in support of him nor the APC and do not make the mistake of thinking only the igbos would vote for JK.JK is loved by all whether igbo, hausa, Yoruba or minorities

crazysaint:
Did he wrote this down on his book "my watch" say he been use his iron fist hand hug that my presido wifey

opiaoku: Kai ! See aboki forming internet man. Chai oboy nairaland don try oo uniting the almajiris and the gworo sellers

But my fav. Aboki No food for a lazy man so go and sell some gworo for your life

suwailad: is that the name of a public toilet?

gboss4sure: Let the north come out and give us information on boko haram members and this massacres will stop. @OP if you fault this solution then what do you offer as a solution to end the menace of boko haram seeing that they have rejected amnesty don't just join the criticizing group who don't have any solution to this menace. In the case of ODI and co OBJ acted too fast but GEJ was patience enough waiting for boko haram to come to the table and you guys complained he is slow now he is acting you guys are also complaining. Give us solutions and don't just make noise.

The problem of odi started on November 4 and OBJ invaded them on November 20 How many years has boko haram killed innocent people, DID the gangs at ODI kill innocent women and women they attacked only military personals who are armed like them and not boko haram who are busy killing unarmed civilians.

Terrorist are fond of hiding on the midst of civilians and the best for the civilians is to vacate the area or provide information on them, during the era of isreal vs gaza did you see how they operate they will mouth their rocket launchers in scols and hospitals and will launch rockets against isreal so does that mean isreal shouldn't bomb the schools and hospitals. Mehn i believe in terror vs terror.

its a pity that civilians were involved but come to think of it, these were communities that harbor terrorists and shield them from law. That apart, you don't know what it means for the soldiers that were meant to protect the territorial integrity of a nation to be killed by mere militants, its really a slap on the nation. That means we are not save and shows that the presence of military cannot bring law and order to a distress area. There was a time students from my school attacked the house of an army general and beat up Soldiers guarding the house, when the man came back, the first question he asked was how many students did they kill. His reason for saying that was that his house is no longer safe if students can deem it fit to come to his house and beat up soldiers. As a commander in chief of the armed forces, you need to protect the integrity of your security personnel. In Uk, they say the killing of a police officer is tantamount to regicide. In situation like this, we can only tell the community harboring those terrorist to come and give them up to avoid casualties. May the soul of the innocent ones among them rest in peace.
