maiduguri the capital of borno state has been in a state of unrest for couple of months, i was in a lecture hall dis morning when we heard a heavy sound and everyone around scampered for safety. i still don't know what happened. Nairaland pray for maiduguri especially its civilians

I'm also reading d news from another forum where it says that d blast is from multiple locations across d town.

Truly I don't knw y d govt hasn't pronounced state of emergency yet on d town, lock it down, quarter It into sections, move in light armoured and start house to house search. Maybe bring In several almajiri boys for tacit interrogations on what they hav seen dt may b remotely connected or suggestive of indictment of anyone. Eject all non-Nigerians wt proper exit searches.Afterall there r already over 5000 boots on ground, I believe ds is possible and it will force d group to fret and give themselves away, then d fireworks can start.

We should stop pretending dt we r not at war already. Ds is a Helmand province, Waziristan, Somalia and Baghdad situation in our backyard already.

Critical times demand critical response.

god have mercy on nigeria and save us from these islamic terrorist

chai not again pls

let see how Nigerian govt can come out of this one

the northerns leaders are behind it, they want to create insecurity situation so that the army could take over. GEJ are you sleeping or still dancing?

For heaven's sake, what is all this, Boko haram (crab) again

What is GEJ waiting for give them republic of BOKO HARAM to allow peace rain in this Nation. In the name of one Nigeria while people die everyday in this country.

They are a group of people the government has failed to deal with decisively and feel emboldened to continue in their nefarious ways.

What does this mean- Boko haram (crab)?

I am sure you meant crap.

Its really sad and unfortunate. Nigeria = Afganistan + Iraq + Pakistan. Its high time 9ja govt flush Borno state esp those chadians and co, This is no longer an ISLAMIC sect, they are terrorist on their own hidden under the umbrella of Boko haram. I think we christians should stop attacking the muslims, we should rather join hands and flush boko haram.

Its high time they have freedom.They need their nation and they should have and i expect this to happen before 2014.

These people have essentially declared war against Nigeria. The JTF sent to the region is unprepared to fight the kind of battle they are confronted with, to make matters worse, the Commander of the Joint Task Force, Maj Gen Jack Nwaogbo does not even understand the language spoken by the aggressors.

They've taken the war to Abuja, the capital of Nigeria, it will spread to the West, East, and South soon enough. Look at this BBC photograph of today's bomb blast and tell me it was caused by a firecracker.  Where is the offensive action by JTF? GEJ needs to act fast, else the millitary may have no choice but to take over this government.

God have mercy on nigeria,our life is a stake.our government should do something concerning security in nigeria.the security chief should charge for this evil that happen in our society

This is what happens when kids are not allowed to play with knock out(1 sound). They never outgrow the desire to experience the cartoon character ' Kaboom!!!'. On a serious note, this is bad o. I thought the military promised security abi na only for fct?

i support your motion

dis kind sit-down-look approach by FG is no longer acceptable pls! Discharge ur primary duty by protectin life and propriety,if u cnt then step aside pls!

@ Ndu chuks,

I disagree wt u for dt picture u posted and ur ethnic bigotry laced run down on d task force commander. U have not proven dt he doesn't understand d terrain and language, neither have u proved his tactical incompetence. Ur only excuse is because his name is of non-northeaster extraction. When Gen Serki Yanke led JTF in Niger delta, y didn't u say same abt him? When Gen GT Zidon led Operation Harmony in Bakkassi, y not same against him? D first boko haram insurrection Ws led by a non-northeastern colonel ( actually frm SE), did he fail? Gen CC Iweze quashed d maitatsine insurrection of 1985 in Bauchi state, wht do u say abt dt? How has Gen Saleh succeeded STF in plateau state despite speaking d prevailing language?

BTW, d pix u posted is frm Abuja blast.

This is a task for the intelligence organizations primarily and not brute force of soldiers.

can they move over to white house please?
if so
KUDOS to them

Kinda worry where 9ja is going,

Again!!! God, hav mercy

na waow

Do we still have government in this country ?

We love Maiduguri and it will survive!!! The boko haram are not fighting civilians but the security forces esp the police for extrajudiciously killing their members. Nairalanders should study the genesis of the problems before passing ignorant comments.

i have asked the same question o. This is a serious matter and the earlier the better before we become another Afghanistan.

We all need to pray together for a better Nigeria, everyone here has a point , but the best we can do for our country now is to seek for forgiveness and pray to have a good and competent government.

Why hasn't the state government banned okada given that it is the prefered form of transportation for the militants? Why are our so called leaders very docile?

GOD HELP US IN THIS COUNTRY SO THAT THIS PEOPLE WILL NOT DESTROY US
