Church bombings reported in Zaria

Several bombs tore through two churches this morning; Christ Catholic Church, Yoruba st, Sabo, and ECWA church in Wusasa, Zaria, Kaduna, and there might be a third church. At least 8 people have been confirmed dead by eyewitnesses who are giving minute by minute report on Twitter. They also say there's ongoing gunfight between police and gunmen in the Sabongari area of the city where another church is reportedly under attack. Angry mobs have attacked and killed two suspects while police and military men are trying to disperse angry crowds.

Every Sunday there is at least one church bombing in the north. It's inarguably become pattern and as much as we would like Nigeria to take some measures to quell the madness, unortunately thats not the case. My question is this - if Nigeia refuses to help Nigerians, when will Nigerians start helping themselves e.g., take precautionary measures and sit your asses at home on sunday especially if you live in the north? I'm started to see this zealousness to. Church in the north as a rather suicidal one.

Can these bloody christians come back to d south already!! And at the same time all the northerners in the south west should pack their bags and head to the north since they want this separation...

What has our country turned into? It is glaring now to all who care to see, that Boko Haram's major grievance is with the church. The once peaceful northern region has been turned into a battlefield, innocent citizens are dying everyday; every Sunday and yet the northern leaders are more concerned with increasing the federal revenue allocation to the north.
Where are the emirs, sultans, and every other northern leader? Your silence is indeed deafening, history will not forget the weak role you have played so far.
Be encouraged my Christian brothers and sisters, be strong!
To the families of those that lost their lives, take solace in the fact that God will fight your battles, nothing can replace this loss.
To muslim faithfuls, pls condemn this act of terrorism openly.
To GEJ: I know you can't read this but dude, you need to have a firm grip on the affairs of the nation. If the work don hard you, abeg do the honourable thing, RESIGN!!!

Exactly my thoughts. How many church would be bombed b4 these christians in the North would learn to sit bk home on sundays? U can worship God anywhere. Even inside ur tiny room, he listens. Somehow for some pple sha. May their souls rest in peace

If the Nigerian Government can't stop the bloodshed of innocent citizens, then I advice that the employ foreign hands...
It just feels like Nigeria is sitting on a time bomb, waiting to explope! But I believe that God will NEVER let his people down! Everyday for the thief, 1 very good day for the owner! So help us God, Amen

U guys don't get it!!! After they stop christians from attending church, they'll come to their home as butcher them. Are u guys going to give them land for them to resettle in the south? And if southerners are gracious enough and give up land for re settlement in the south, r the kids of the settlers going to be able to hold traditional or political powers? U guys r criticizing the wrong people.

Wat I see next in this country is angry christians, carrying arms and killing every muslim they see. God help us.

the end time is near..'heaven and earth may pass away but my word will never pass away'.....there is unrest all over the world.. we shall hear of wars and rumour of wars.....the rapture is close.....even if Jonathan does somethin bout it(which he should av done or should be doing) wat guarantees that another palava will not start up again...we should all be prayerful and move very close to God cos at the end of the day, what will matter most is ur service to God and the love u av for people..Stay blessed.

They should start bombing MOSQUES. boko haram doesnt shock me no more, they have lost thier value.

Anonymous said...

Na waaoh.its high time christians wake up. No more peace xtians should start bombing mosque cos d best form of defence is attack.

Anonymous said...

Asking some christians to leave the north is like asking all non lagosians to leave Lagos...So before some of you start running your mouths remember that some non northerners are 2nd and 3rd generation "immigrants" in the North and all they own is there with them so they can't just leave....

Nobody can stop me from worshiping my lord but if you live In the north, gather your Christian brothers & friends & praise his holy name in The midst of your home. The lord answers prayers not only in churches but everywhere. It hurts me to wake up to these Horrible news Every Sunday.

listen I am a christian northerner
born,bred in the north
we are a minority in the north
you expect me to pack my mother,father,brothers,sister,uncles,aunties,cousins and move to the south?
to where?
your house?
dont you just get it
ponder on this for a bit and see if you were in my shoes
you could leave your heritage,your life,your existence to where exactly?
some up north have nothing no money,nothing and you want them to come penniless to lagos to come and roam the streets?

She said...

for those of you shouting christians should come back to south need to be educated. NOT ALL NORTHERNERS ARE MUSLIMS. AND THE NORTH IS HOME FOR THEM. anyways i blame your educational curriculums for not teaching this. kaduna is divided into north and south, the south being 90% xtians and the northern part 80% muslims. so it goes deeper than our country being divided by 4 cardinal points being north, south, east or west.

i love nigeria and will always do. For good 3 consecutive sundays, Christians have been facing series of continual and unstopable bomb attacks from this so called BOKO HARAM and their brainwashed fools who go for this suicide attacks on Churches....The Bible said: Vengeance of Me saith the Lord of Host, He said i will fight for you and you shall hold your peace....I believe that a day will come when God will arise and fight for the blood of this innocent Christians, because he is not a man that He should lie, neither the son of man that he should repent.

We really have some fools around us.
Movement or relocation is not easy. I am a christian living in the north now for over 37years; for the fact that the muslims are baberians shouldn't deter us from serving the almighty God in our churches. We can not forsake the gathering of our brethren; we must serve our God. What Boko haram wants is for christians to stop worshipping God in churches, we won't let them. Fred

Very true. No northern leader seems to be speaking against what is happening. They are encouraging it, if anything. Christians, attack!!

deekay said...

Lmao. Pls tell them. They think there's a place for them in heaven if they die in church. Lwkmd!!

deekay said...

Amen!! U spoke my mind bro.

deekay said...

I can understand not being able to afford moving but every other reason is retarded. So what if that's your birthplace, etc etc. That's not relevant. It's like the hurricane victims that can afford to move who choose to stay in such disaster area because of one stupid reason or the other. Maybe your lives aren't precious.

deekay said...

As usual they are leaving vengeance to the lord...lol. just like those Christians who don't take medicine when they are ill, or have blood transfusions. Always relying on God. I thought the Bible implied heaven helps those who help themselves?! Hmm!! Funny how they forget about that.

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH, HOLY GHOST MOST ARISE AND SCATTER THE CAMP OF THE ENEMIES!

Let all christians in Nigeria declare 3 DAYS OF NATIONAL PRAYER AND FASTING and commit this evil genius (boko haram and sponsors) to the hands of God and see what will happen.

Jonathan is powerless and weak. We need God's intervention and mercy.

Pls, forward this to CAN and CHRISTIAN BODIES.
