Oh dear! Has Boko Haram taken over the 2nd largest city in Borno?

Boko Haram militants invaded Borno State's second largest city, Bama, this morning and it looks like they managed to overpower the Nigerian troops who engaged them in a fierce gun battle today. According to Sahara Reporters, Boko Haram men have taken over Bama and have now hoisted their flag within the city. Bama is just one hour from the state capital, Maiduguri. Continue...



SR reports that several soldiers were killed during the gun battle, many of them are missing, while over 100 soldiers who sustained serious injuries are currently being treated at the MRS hospital in Maimalari Barracks.

An intelligence source told Sahara that only a few soldiers, in four armored tanks, were seen near Yezaram River and that the unit was in no way capable of re-taking Bama from the militants.

Meanwhile a source told me that there's been a curfew in Maiduguri, that it is likely air strikes will be deployed at Bama and civilians may be requested to leave the town of Bama.

I hope this news is unfounded. Coz its no good omen to our country.
We are in a war situation and should be seen and approached asuch.
Our President should address this issue as a war,for the activities of boko haram continues to threaten the existence of our country.

Men. Ur president is in Nairobi as tweeted by his parrot. Pls parrot, advise him 2 come back home, his house is on fire. If he spent half the time travelling all over the world than Gulliger at home strategising, perhaps we would have eradicated this terrorism.

Lol, as usual he would give a stupid excuse for not doing so, that we are just like pakistan, iraq, syria, etc. Kai this cycle of stupidity should not continue

I am yawning. This is so predictable when you have a few very rich celebrated people and too many poor people watching and salivating. they are coming for maiduguri and the land beyond. While we are busy wallowing in complacence, the country is smoking, ready to explore. My Deltans/Southerners, hold vigil around your borders. they must not cross over into the south. Ibos - dont sell out for a few dollars. In the next year or two, we will be hearing these stupid stories. Nigeria makes me SICK SICK SICK with the way we take things in stride; even the most heinous we take in stride. We are such a desensitized people to the point of being a people afflicted with mass depravity.

Seriously, I think GEJ should hire mercenaries, oyinbo ones for that matter. Just a handful of them will destroy these murderers. He shouldn't waste his time with naija army - they have been compromised beyond measure. He just retire all the officers above the rank of Major and sanitise the place and Whoever he has evidence to bring to book should be tried for Treason, period.

I think nigeria should just break up. You cannot continue to force a relationship that is not working. Make north an south go their separate ways so that there will be peace. This northerners are a problem to this country.They are drawing us backwards.

NIGERIA WILL BE GREAT
If someone has spoken a word, that your house will fall down by 2015, what do you do? Will you keep quiet, sit there and wring your hands? Whether America or Britain or Germany has spoken negative words concerning us, is not the issue. What are we saying ourselves? And what are we doing? Faith without works is dead.
America was built by Puritans on the back of the Gospel. Then it was “ In God We Trust” and it was “ God’s own country.” Now that same God has been chased out of every facet of american life. These are the people that are making predictions about our country and we dispair?
We are a praying people. Let us put the right words in our mouth and speak it!
Our God Reigns.

While Nigerians are still praying to some fake white Jesus to save black Africans, the united states and other western nations have successfully orchestrated and carried out a plan to bring down Nigeria through "terrorism." Since day one northern leaders and the british have had close ties; since independence, through the Nigerian civil war, and thereafter. This is all a western scheme to bring down Nigeria and take all its resources like they did in Iraq, and what they're trying to do in other countries in the same region.
Its NOT a coincidence that all the countries currently experiencing a lot of civil unrest are oil-rich nations. Wake up Nigerians! My people parish because of a lack of knowledge.

When the white man came to Africa he had his book (Bible) and we had the land. When they left, they had the land and we had the book.


NIGERIANS WAKE UP!!!!!

Congratulations to the Boko Haram's, at least am happy now that they are channeling their quest towards establishing an Islamic State in the Northern Nigeria and not by killing innocent people without cause for action, but now it is clear what their fight is for. Once again I wish them good luck. There is nothing bad if a religious or ethnic group to quest for their own State.

And I plead to those Igbo's and other Southerns over there and other christian, who has proved deaf ears to leave the state and probably the Northern States.Yes Nigeria is our country and we are entitled to leave in any of the 36 states of the federation, but whereby there is an action which poses threat to some group of people while in the same federation, you have to avoid been a victim of circumstances.

This is the dividend of the 1914 Amalgamation. You cannot force people of different ethnic, religious and cultural background to remain in one country. So I guess this might be the beginning of the Nigeria's disintegration. Before Flora Shaw, invented the name Nigeria in 1898, there was no Nigeria and people where living in this part of the world. So let the people go back to what they have been known for before Flora's invention of the name Nigeria.

@ALICIA, i just feel like kissing you all over. thank you very much for that information.I have been saying this thing for a long time on this blog but no one seems to read it,maybe you and i can make a team on this.Nigerians have been tricked with so many fake news by the media,they believe whatever the media says. I kept on asking myself this question. ''how can Nigerian nothern leaders gang up against their own people? how can that be possible? how can BOKO HARAM get assess to new guns and weapons while Nigerian soldiers are still using the guns adolf hitler and his soldiers used during the second world war? lets ask ourselves, please...for those of us that knows history of Nigeria and how the map of Nigeria was designed, lets remember that these people were the once that designed our map and they are human beings,they made the Northern part of Nigeria the highest in terms of land mass, WHY? No, please lets ask ourselves.Northern leaders has good relationship with the British, now they bribe them,that way they tell them what to do....lastly, USA is on a two mission. number one is to brake the islamic nations, and we all know that 75% of Nigerians are muslims,and most of them are from the North,so they start by giving islam a bad image in order to make the whole world believe so,If christianity is what they really practice,then why did they bring the issue of Gay practice in Nigeria? you see, these people don't practice christianity nor islam, they want to create a''ONE WORLD ORDER"..number two, they are also on a mission to get our resources and have control over everything..lols..We have been programmed right from first of october 1960..hmm,i wish i could have the power to speak to the whole NIGERIA. Nigerians have been blind folded and are asked to drink their on urine''..@ALICIA.please i need your contact...9ja 4 life.
