Abuja isn't safe anymore. A bomb can go off anywhere. May God continue to keep us.

Nigeria is in a sorry state. The government steals from people it swore to serve. Boko Haram kills innocent people with man-made bombs in the name of a god that is supposed to be kind, merciful and mighty. Citizens steal from their brothers at the point of death, they take the belongings of the helpless, cut down by Boko Haram bombs when these vulnerable, dying individuals need a helping hand. The police steal from those they are paid to protect and those who ask questions get a measure of their errant bullets. Another set of Nigerians are dead cause we have wrong headed persons in sensitive positions. How many more Nigerians will have to die before these people know it is their responsibility to protect us? How many more Nigerians have to die before our government take the issue of our protection serious? How many Nigerians needs to be cut off in their prime before our leaders will give this issue the top priority and maximum urgency it required? We were told boko haram will fizzle away. When will they fizzle away, after we have all being killed. Is this part of the transformation agenda of the president? GOD will certainly visit all those that have contributed in one way or the other in making Nigeria country a nation of bombs. I have a suggestion, Babangida, Buhari, Obasanjo, Gowon, Abdusallami should be invited by GEJ to demonstrate their patriotism by helping in mapping out a strategy om how Nigeria could be secured from enemies within. These men know very well how to deploy the armed forces in order to checkmate this menace. It is their civic duty to contribute in the security of the country. This is not to downplay the effort of the NSA but a necessary supplement.

My God, why is Nigeria under this heavy curse? When will this country see peace again? Once they have bombed and destroyed the entire country what else will be left for these animals to do? They just want to leave a destroyed nation to our children? I live in another country, but there is no place like home! How can I return if there is no peace? I'm not happy where I am because this is the white man's land (see what happened to Travon Martin), but at least I'm not exposed to the daily bombing that are occurring in Nigeria!

For goodness sake, what exactly is going on? Why all these evils? May God protect us all from all these evil people and may we not walk into death traps. I can't imagine someone who just went there for something else and walked straight into that.

WOW! Now I pay my DSTV, PHCN and Taxes directly from my ATM card. Dis ATM card is beginning to get so critical to my survival. Now dey are merging all cards into 1 super card dat is multipurpose and will serve as an ID card. They r generatin Social security # for all men worldwide. Ur fingerprints and pictures are in the systems( SIM registration, Intn'l Passport, Embassy) Yu can be tracked easily now! If the antichrist hold my cash and force me to insert the silicon part of my ATM card in my skin. I will say no,cos I knw its d mark of the beast! 666. Then d bible is true when it says. "Those dat did nt receive d mark of d beast were unable to buy or sell and life was pretty hard for them". Wit d cashless society everywhere d Antichrist is getting ready for his infamous reign of terror in the world... Hmnn... If we are dis close to the appocalyse then how close are we to the 2nd coming of our Lord Jesus. Friends be prepared! Dnt say dis is religion. Get some education on this and save ur own soul. The vigour and ease wit which these ATM,cashless, Tax, things happen show they r being controlled by much higher powers under the guise of technology. The bible will always end by.sayin "he who has ears,let him hear what the spirit says". †Ñ’ξ Stage È‹̝̊̅§ Set, Prepare urself & win A̶̲̥̅̊ Soul today.

I was less then 100 Meters away when the bomb went off. The ground shook, seemed like an earth quake. Over 6 bodies were brought out of the building just some minutes after the explosion. I am still in a state of shock.

Your comment on critical issue like this is always on point and whenever i read your comment i always feel happy inside me bcos u see more farther than most of these attention seeker. These sets of people you mentioned really needs to be involved in this BH menace if GEJ really wants to put an end to all these bombings. Atobatele may God bless you.

OH no! sorry to hear its where you worked. Are all your colleagues okay? this is beyond scary now. I thot Abuja was supposed to be our very own little yankee in naija. Now we cant even go there anymore. I had planned to stop by there on my trip to naija this summer now I am not even going to go anywhere near there! Why are these evil people trying to make that place unbearable for us its citizens? why will they be so driven by the devil to wreck havoc and be so destructive. The devil is truly powerful but cannot save. I wish they knew that

Yet another bomb blast again.
Sad,really unfortunate.
The trend is fast spreading.First it was churches,then football watching arenas now media houses?

I really don't know what to say.I am tired,really tired of commenting on this same issue over and over again.
Keep safe fellow Nigerians
Don't know what else to tell you all.
Eternal rest Lord grant to all those who have lost their lives in this madness.

People should stop blaming Johnathan for these bombings abeg! Wat will you do if you were in his shoes? The man is clueless (just like most of us are)as regards a solution to the menace. For instance we all know wat Boko Haram want yet we go on to ask "wat do they want?" as if we dont know. They want power - The presidency, simple. El-Rufai should be arrested again and quizzed thoroughly probably tortured,for rushing quickly to the scene of the incident to make unguarded comments condeming the Govt and accusing it of not doing anytin about Boko Haram bomb menace. A man of his standing should know better, his comments did not help the situation at hand in anyway.

At this stage these motherfuckers that we call leaders should find ways to avoid the continuous bombings. Why aren't the bombers attacking the right people?

Nigerian leaders are niggers. These are the groups of black people you would have wanted the whites to have as slaves and shipped across the continent.

AH I love 9jerians. There will always be a reason to blame jona. Instead of blasting the guy everytime something goes wrong can't we come up with constructive means of dealing with the problem?

'He who has no sin let him cast the first stone' We blame government for destroying this country but don't you know that each time you drop empty pure water sachet on the road you are as guilty as they are?

And sure as hell instead of taking time to actually bring out the sense in all i've said, I sure say one person go still yab me.

I want the best for this country. NA WE GO MAKE AM WORK OH. Bone government.

So the government want to tell me, they don't know how to stop these idiots. Or they don't know whose behind it. Really? Jonathan, your time is over, just resign.

I believe Buhari can do a better job, Nigeria needs an IRON MAN.

@Atobale at April 26, 2012 12:10 PM- well, Nigerians steal from each other too and are dishonest in their dealings with each other. In my dealings with Nigerians, I have been cheated several times and I can tell you that Nigerians are stealing big time in London, claiming benefits they are not entitled to, working with papers in other people's name, doing all sort of fraudulent deals, encouraging our daughters to become prostitutes in Italy and in Nigeria where they have no qualms about sleeping married rich men in the name of money and bringing up monsters to terrorise British society. But instead, people like you prefer to look at the government and blame all the country's ills on the govt- we Nigerians too have to take responsibility for our own actions too.

You do know that if the government wasn't busy stealing money rather than invEsting in productive ventures, this would not be the case, cos many would be gainfully employed, and basic amenities for the survival of the masses will be in place. Many have grown to love and engage in crimes because of the hardship the leaders have imposed on the masses with their greed. If past leaders of the 60's and 70's were as greedy as the present ones, the country would have gone under by now.

Y'all shouldn't just be here to type English , this is way beyond grammar. As youths wat av u done 2 help yur country? Do you think its enuf to hide behind dis blog and write grammar? Things will get worse if we still blv grammar can do this. We need 2 call 4 a SNC, but d criteria of those who will be representing each community shld be strictly by their past contributions towards nation building. A movement is coming up, there will be an awakening, y'all remember ow occupy naija protest shook d country, its just a start!!!
Until d youths in dis country find a better way 2 move this country 4ward rather than go into prostitution, yahooze, stealing and all sorts of anti-social vices then we can all merge togeda under an umbrella and call 4 a revolution! This era of capitalism must come to an end. Few pple enjoying d wealth of a nation. Over 100million Nigerians live on less than $2 a day even wit all d abundance of natural resources. Don't u think enuf is enuf? Aluta continua victoria acerta!
