Security expert warns of New Year day bomb attacks

“Since Boko Haram struck on Christmas day, they may likely strike on New Year’s day. This is based on the fact that terrorists struck on Christmas eve and New Year’s Eve in 2010. However, the suicide terrorists changed to Christmas day this year. Since past is prologue to the future and the masters of Boko Haram tend to strike on anniversaries and on celebration days in order to maximise fatalities, they will probably carry out more spectacular attacks on New Year’s day 2012.” - A chartered security expert, Dr. Ona Ekhomu, gave the advice, yesterday, in Lagos.

'There's no pressure on me to marry' - Pawpaw insists

"I have heard the false and laughable rumours that there's heavy pressure on me to marry. There's no iota of truth in that in that rumour or report.  There's no pressure on me to settle down from any quarter, not even my parents or loved ones. At the appropriate time, I will marry like my brother and friend, Aki did. But what I don't like and will not accept is the rumour circulating that I'm under pressure to find a wife and settle down within the next couple of months. It's pure lies and fabrication from some unserious and jobless people. Yes, there is someone in my life right now, but I can't tell you the exact date we are getting married. It could be next year or the year after. Right now, we are happy being together." Osita Iheme responded when asked by EE if there was pressure on him to marry after his best bud got married a few weeks back.

Angry Nigerian Children Write Jonathan Over Christmas Day Blasts

Written by Association of Conscious Nigerian Children (ACNC)

Dear Mr. President: We should say Merry Christmas but we are not your government, we are not in the business of deception. After almost ten hours of gathering your thoughts to speak on the bomb blasts that rocked the nation yesterday, you still fell short of your own very low standards. 

What did you intend to say when you said Bomb Blasts are a burden we must live with? Why do you bother to budget over a trillion for security if we must live with the burden of insecurity? How come you are still a president? We do not blame you, we blame our older ones who were stupid enough to think that where you come from and your religion was all you needed to be a competent president.

But then, on Thursday, we received a curious invitation to the Xtreme Sports Media Experience – with no clue what to expect, we headed down to the Oniru – Landmark Village axis of Victoria Island in search of the Paintball Arena – the venue of this so-called experience.

Christmas Day Bomb Blast at Catholic Church in Niger State

 

Wasn't going to blog today because it's Christmas and we all should be with family and friends having fun and enjoying the day, but the most unfortunate thing occurred this morning.

More than 20 church goers lost their lives this morning as two bombs exploded during Christmas church service at St Theresa Catholic church in Madalla, Suleja, Niger state.

A car rigged with bomb was parked at the premises of the church, which exploded around 8: 30 AM as church members left the church premises after the Christmas day mass. The second blast occurred when a suicide bomber drove a BMW car into the church premises. Apart from those killed in the attack, several others have been taken to the hospital for life threatening injuries. Many cars were also destroyed in the attack.
