Woman rescues baby lying next to his dead mother as she fled Baga

As this woman fled Baga, Borno state last week with her family, she saw a baby boy crying next to his dead mother. She stopped and picked him up. She now cares for him. Photo credit: UN Refugee Agency. See photos of other Nigerian refugees currently in Chad, after the cut...

People are running away from there own country and you are here telling me that you still want Jonathan 2015. you must be wicked! I'm from the east and i don't support tribalism but speak the truth. You will know the right person to support when someone close to you or from your family is affected or is running to neighboring country for shelter. We need change, our people must return back to Nigeria. Come Febuhari we shall know. GMB is my only option for now and the only one qualified to make promises to me now!

I don't think anyone fully appreciates the severity of what is going on in this country at the moment. There is a genocide in the brewing..and no one is conscious of it. I pray something is done quickly and swiftly to quell the situation. On a separate note....dont you muslims have anything better to do with your time? I mean 98% of the wars will actually end if you guys just say "fuckit..im gonna go have a beer...screw this killing people shit it's tiring" #shitreligion

When will this end?When will innocent citizens stop dying for just no cause.When will there be peace.When???

Chad is gradually becoming a regional super power taking advantage of the annoying weakness of the current leadership of Nigeria . I dont trust Idriss Deby of Chad. Jona, just go home ,let someone with military intelligence who has the capacity and political will to command the armed forces come in and rescue Nigeria from this embarrasment! I weep for Nigeria, I weep for Northeast, I weep for Baga! My heart bleeds from these bloodshed and wickedness against innocent children!!!Jehovah Nissi! Arise and fight this battle.

According to General 'potbelly' Ascaris Dokubo. Boko haram does not exist.
We are still waiting for the results of his fact finding mission to Chibok but it seems his head is so far up his arse creek/crack he can't tell if the bullshit is coming from his mouth or his anus.

Subomi said...

This dont make sense. What if Chad refuse these people entry and seal its borders, are you telling me they'll have to make do with living in the forest? Why will GEJ just go about his everyday life like nothing is happening. Cant he learn from how countries like US reacts when one of their own is in trouble in another country.
