The children they killed!


















Some innocent children killed in Jos yesterday...with machetes! And NO, I won't take the picture down. This is our shame and failure as a country. Let's all stare at it!

This is nothing but another genocide happening under our noses...when will this maddness stop:(

The most insane part of the whole thing is that this wasn't done by outsiders. Fellow Nigerians doing this to each other's children... It makes me sick. They may have grievances but how does the death of a child bring you any closer to getting what you want? I can never understand these people...

This is just heartbreaking indeed.

I'm saddened by this. I read about it this morning.
I don't know how some people can be heartless.
God has blessed Nigeria so much. I mean, we rarely have natural disasters and things like that.
We only have deaths that are caused by heartless humans.
The truth is we are not moving forward.
Entropy is proving it. Entropy never changes in a cyclic path. The earth is cyclic, and I'm guessing Nigeria is stuck.
SAD! :(

When will men stop following religion and a book, and instead follow humanity and love. The people who did this are straight demons. With all the success nigerians have, we still have this backwards kind of behavior, something is not right. I say all the politicans stop counting their stolen millions and look at the country for a change.

As much success that we have had, we still have backwards things like this going on. I say the politicans stop counting their stolen millions and pay attention to the country.

No Linda don't take it down. Our pride and constant cover up attitude is not helping us one bit. Our house is filthy and the whole world has seen it, the stench is oozing out. We have and continue to pray for our dear homeland but we definitely need to put in action...what that action is is what escapes me. What can we do?

I am saddened by this. As a mother, my heart broke at the death of these innocent children. As a mother, I was so angry that these butchers would attack children, who could not fight back. I hope those animals, those bastards understand that the Father of these children, God, is watching and will get them back. Count on it.

Thank you!! DO NOT TAKE IT DOWN!!

I want to believe that those kids are just asleep....
What is wrong with Nigeria?
Better yet what is right with Nigeria? Anything at all?

Enough is enough....I can't believe these kids have been butchered for no reason and the world turns it's back

Enough is Enough! Lets stop talking about how bad Nigeria is. Let us be the generation that does something. If you are indeed angry about the state on the nation, then let your voice be heard. Join the Enough is Enough rally in Abuja on the 16th of March. If like me you can't attend, please sponsor a youth to Abuja. Details are on www.enoughisenoughnigeria.com, find the group on facebook too.

Disclaimer: I am not involved with this but I am an angry young Nigerian. You should be too!

Yes Linda, that is what it is, our Shame and Failure!

I wish the voice of Nigerians can be heard. The people have given up, because they feel like they will not be heard. I hope the younger generation can stand up for justice and truth, and be heard, that's when change will come. My parent laugh all the time, when I say that the new generation of Nigerians, will stand up for justice, and hopefully be heard. They say that will never happen, and it's really discouraging.

Nigeria has no idea how God has truly been showing his mercy on them. There's no natural disaster, but Nigeria create disaster for themselves with their own hands. The government, and their leaders are busy fighting one another, and looking for ways to steal money, power, bunch of power hungry and greedy people, while the country is suffering, and people are dying everyday.

How far do you want to go? How far will you continue to be so heartless? How can you continue to take the lives of innocent people? How far will the wicked people continue to have their way? How long will the heart of Nigeria continue to bleed? How long will you continue to care only about yourself, and not other human being like you? Where is the humanity in this?
NIGERIA IS A FAILED AND SHAMEFUL COUNTRY.

What did they do? Why did they have to die? Who were the perpetrators?! The killers will NEVER EVER know peace until they repent and pay for their sins against humanity!

As a Nigerian and a christian, I think it is time for christians to stop turning the other cheek every time these crazy god forsaken bastards (hause muslims) kill and maim them. We as christians should take up arms and fight back. The hause muslims have been having it too easy. Enough is Enough.

This is really fucked up and the top or head idiots are not doing anything about this. That is to show that these rouges were sent by the top officials of Nigeria, if not why haven’t they declared Jos a State of emergency and rounded those bastards up and kill them, this would serve as an example to those bloody militants

Cemaleon said...

Seriously fucked up. Nigeria needs honest men & women. Urgently. Oil revenues should be the key to letting God back into the land. I'll pray for Nigeria

How can you explain to someone who does not believe in western education that children have a future..You do not need to look closer to know whose children are those..There is no one Chistian in Nigeria who will have the heart to lay hands on a child of less than 15yrs..during such conflicts. It has always been liked this..helpless women and children are always a first choice for these savages.They keep crying 'woof' even though in their mind they feel like warriors for killing as many children as they could.........it has no end.
