That is bad , human life should be sacrosanct.

Every day they will be condemning without doing anything to stop the incessant attacks

26 people is just too much

Buhari Led Administration is CURSED

You are all the same jihadists.

Keep Condemning, zulum sef is coming out from his pretence

. . .

North is peaceful and violence free.

Bloody useless country! See the way human beings are being slaughtered weekly in industrial numbers, yet they carry on like normal!

In saner climes, something drastic would have happened by now! Even in this country sef, if the president had been a Christian, like say a GEJ, there would have either been an impeachment or a coup would have occurred!
