Fabian Uzochukwu, Secretary of Spare Parts Sellers Association, Ogbomosho Zone 1, Kaduna:

"I was around when it all happened, around 9:30am. I saw two men who came on bike and I thought they wanted to buy something. Suddenly they started asking one small boy questions, and it seems they were asking for direction. And I was standing by my signboard. I saw them in a ladies bike.

"The boy is not alive to tell what they were asking him, he was roasted to death. But after some few minutes, they came to their bike and continued journeying, the second one came to join him. Suddenly, something exploded and I miraculously survived.

"Who is selling gas here? Nobody is selling gas or acid, we are all selling spare parts and we know what we are saying. The body of the man driving the bike shattered, even the head was picked in this open field and some parts of his body. The other man that was carrying it lost his right arm and somebody took him to an undisclosed hospital. I fell inside the gutter and entered my shop. Immediately I escaped through to my shop, the roof fell down and I immediately rushed out again.

"They are saying gas, gas. We are not doing any business related to gas here, so all those rumours saying gas is a lie; they just want to cover something. It is a bomb explosion.

"As a union we lost about ten members, and the Yorubas who are living in the compound lost about four people. What happened yesterday was a war declared on peace-loving traders, those doing legitimate business."

Igbo Traders and Worker in Northern Nigeria, relocate to S-East

What are Igbo Traders and Workers doing in Northern Nigeria, are they waiting for BH and other Muslim Fundamentalists to kill them ?? For safety sake, Igbo traders and workers must move out of Northern Nigeria this December 2011 and never to return there again. An Igbo trader must think of his safety first before thinking of gains he makes, trading in Northern markets. What benefit is there, to gain the whole money in Northern Nigeria and lose your life to Islamic fundamentalists? An Igbo trader can set up a spare part store/shop anywhere in Igbo land , it mustn't be as costly. Xmas season is the best time to think of starting something anew or of relocating to S-East. Igbo traders can come together, establish huge supermarkets for motor spare parts in Owerri, Aba, Abakiliki, Awka, Nnewi, Umuahia, Onitsha, Orlu, Uzuakoli etc. Surely, customers will come from all states of the federation to buy these goods.

There is no basis

It is easy for some of us to call black white and white black. This exactly what this young person did. Ojukwu was not ambitious and power hungry. He did what any human will do in such a position.You can not sit ideal and let your family be slaughter and you at the same time dine with the people who brought horror to you. The Igbos were driven and slaughtered in the north and some other parts of the Country. May I know how old you are and what informed you of your lies ?

There is no basis of

There is no basis of comparison between Moses and Ojukwu. Moses was a hero that led the Jews out of bandage in Egypt. He fought and won many wars for the Israelite. However, Ojukwu was the ambitious, power hungry rebel of Biafra. He was a coward who ran away during the war and let his people to be slaughtered like goats after he started a war he could not fight. You cannot seek for a Joshua when you never had a Moses.

kaduna bomb blast

i think nigerian need prayer and God intervention most especialy our northern state

deri, Mujahidin deri, it is

deri,
Mujahidin deri, it is becoming extremely difficult to understand what you are trying to say nowadays. So, your drinking has gotten worse. After reading your last blurb one can only conclude that you have gone insane. Get together with you new slave master tundemash. He can find you a good marabou to exorcise the daemon tormenting you.

RE: WHEN OBJ BECAME PRESIDENT IN

MR. IGBOKWE, CORRECTION; BOKO HARAM STARTED THEIR KILLING SPREE IN LATE 2009 WHEN YAR'ADUWA WAS PRESIDENT, INFACT THEY HAVE A FATWA ON YAR'ADUWA'S HEAD BEFORE HE DIED. THEY HAVE KILLED MANY POLICE OFFICERS, DISTRICT AND VILLAGE HEADS, POLITICIANS, BUSINESSMEN AND TRADITIONAL TITLE HOLDERS IN 2009. YOU ONLY HEARD OF THEM WHEN THEY GRADUATE TO BOMBING AND SUICIDE ATTACKS.

Christ is Islam

After my 12 years study as a student of Holy Spirit in USA. I realized that Christ is the foundation of Islam established by Moses and children of Israel in wilderness of Shur, the seat of Hagar and Ishmael her son. As Lord Christ of wisdom used Moses to changed MARA the water of death of Islam to become protective and healing power that kept the children of Israel 40 years in the wilderness. That power of change which shall changes Islam to Peace and Liberty Faith for all nations.Christ Last Salvation Wisdom and Grace power arrest all spirits and power.

Ndigbo now my servant Ojukwu-Moses is dead!!! What next?

Has Our Mother Christ forgotten Her Children of her womb on earth? No. What is the matter? Because you forsake your Mother of Grace and followed Gods of this world. Now my servant Gen Emeka Ojukwu is dead what next? Joshua of Last Salvation Wisdom and power of Grace will take lead for his people both of Ndigbo,Nigeria and Africa to their Mother's Graceland.Gen Emeka Ojukwu fought the war of Biafra with man made weapons like Moses of the old but Joshua fights with power of wisdom and grace. All to glory of our Lord and God.

nigeria is going down

it has come to my knowlegdge that Nigerians and Africans as a whole are really blind to see reality. Islam and Christianity are both foreign and should be stacked away with as they have caused us blood shed almost every 3 years (e.g. Jos crisis, Kaduna, e.t.c.). if you want religion of peace with peaceful history then others are there such as the peaceful Ba'Hail faith (this religion is the youngest founded in 1896 in Iran) but it is the most persecuted of all belives as many of them been innocent are killed for been "the wrong religion" by the muslims. Ba'hail is a religion of peace.

When OBJ became president in

When OBJ became president in 1999 SHARIA came on board and 2011 GEJ came on board it is now BOKO HARAM. This is primitive and laughable.Woe betide a nation whose leaders are children!

Blame Game

Ndigbo must respond. keeping quiet is no longer an option. Where is the outrage in the EAST, WEST or SOUTH? Are the Igbos to blame again? THE BLOOD OF OUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS ARE FLOWING CEASELESSLY AGAIN ON THE STREET OF THE NORTH. SOMEBODY IN IGBO LAND MUST CALL FOR A MEETING. A LINE IN BIAFRAN NATIONAL ANTHEM SAYS:
We shall protect our hearts from all our foes;
But if the price is death for all we hold dear,
Then let us die without a shred of fear.

End of Nigeria as we know it unless Goodluck wakes up

Jos is my home a city i cherish. I was born and raised there and to see all that is happening there and all over Nigeria makes me sad. The Boko Haram are not muslims they are brainwashed bored idiots that are killing their own people, or are they?

I believe the Nigerian government needs to shut down the borders and go house to house and disarm every house of any weapons. Find out who is backing these people and funding them. Ban people from Chad, Niger, Cameroon from entering Nigeria.

Goodluck is a pussy. Has no guts to do anything. He spends time dealing with Anti Gay laws rather than dealing with the problems at hand. Nigeria as we know it will never be the same. The government should give cash rewards for anyone with information on Boko Haram and the people supporting them.

I pray and hope for Nigeria and wish that politicians wake up and sort shit out. God bless the Nation and the innocent people of Nigeria.

you still dont get it

I as a christian have condemned both the muslim and christian massacres in the past. but what my point is this "islam and christianity are both evil foreign religions brought up by evil group of people who have shed countless amount of innocent blood for the sake of religion". do you know what fuck religion, i wonder why we abandon our ancient origins and followed the religions been forced down on our throats by the British and Arabian colonial and slave masters. Pastors stealing money from believers by their petty tricks; imams raping and forcing their marriages on 2-6 year old kids. this is absolutely rubbish.
Christian crusades killed millions of people around N Africa and Eurasia and the Muslim crusaders have been killing and forcing their religion on peoples throats for 1400 years.

RE: again wrong!!! 3

"Obsessed with his nation's history, Mladic saw Bosnia's war — which killed more than 100,000 people and displaced another 1.8 million — as a chance for revenge against 500 years of Turkish-Ottoman occupation of Serbia. He viewed Bosnian Muslims as Turks and called them that as an insult.

Convinced of the power of his army, he was known for telling his soldiers: "When I give you guarantees, it's as if they are given by God."

Once, asking air traffic control to clear the way for his helicopter to land, he declared: "Here speaks Ratko Mladic — the Serbian God.""

DUJAN STOJANAVIC, Associated Press, Serbia, Belgrade

RE: again wrong!!! 2

"We strongly believe to be on the right God's path and that these people will pay their debt to the Serbianhood and Orthodoxy. Our deaths, sufferings and stamina we accept as God's mercy and a gift of the fate to realize all of this, and if God allows, to save Serbia and Montenegro from being destroyed."

"We have to work on it that every Serb gets to know the details of his/her religion, and particularly what the God's temple means."

Radovan Karadzic, in an interview in Svetigora, the official monthly of the Metropoly of the Serbian Orthodox Church in Cetinje (Resurrection of a Huddled Soul, March 1995, No. 35-36, pages 14-23)

RE: again wrong!!!

THE POLITICAL AND MILITARY LEADERS OF THE SERB EXTERMINATION OF THE BOSNIAN MUSLIMS ARE RADOVAN KARADZIC AND RADKO MLADIC. BOTH ARE MEMBERS OF THE SERBIAN ORTHODOX CHURCH.

"all the other is God's deed. God probably made a present of freedom to us because he was the one to teach us what should be done, and the Holy Spirit whispered into our ears what we should say, of which I am particularly convinced, because often I went to meetings without a prepared concept - actually, it was always like that, with the exception of three or four important historical meetings - and I have always followed the Gospel: Do not worry about what you are going to say. The Spirit itself will tell you what you have to say."

Radovan Karadzic, in an interview in Svetigora, the official monthly of the Metropoly of the Serbian Orthodox Church in Cetinje (Resurrection of a Huddled Soul, March 1995, No. 35-36, pages 14-23)

RE: YOU ARE RIGHT IN SOME PARTS BUT AGAIN .....

  1. I AM REFERRING TO THE TRANS-ATLANTIC SLAVE TRADE IN MY POST AND THE DATA OF 10 MILLION AFRICANS IS A CONSERVATIVE ESTIMATE. THIS IS PUBLIC RECORD. CHECK ABIOLAS SUBMISSION ON REPARATION.
  2. YOUR CONCERN IS TO SHOW MUSLIM EXTERMINATIONS OF NON-MUSLIM POPULATIONS, I WANT TO SHOW THE CHRISTIAN SIDE AS WELL. I DID NOT APPROACH THE PROBLEM BY DEBUNKING YOUR ASSERTIONS. AN EXAMPLE IN THIS REGARD WILL SUFFICE. MUSLIMS CONQUERED AND RULE INDIA FOR 800 YEARS AND WHEN PARTITION COMES IN 1947 INDIA WAS 75% HINDU/SIKH AND 25% MUSLIM (PAKISTANIS). THEY CONQUERED AND RULE SPAIN FOR 400 YEARS AND WHEN THEY WERE THROWN OUT 90% OF SPANIARDS ARE CHRISTIANS 10% ARE MUSLIMS. SO MUCH ABOUT MUSLIMS EXTERMINATING WHOLE POPULATIONS.

MM HEAR HITLER BEFORE HIS CONVERSION TO THE THULE SOCIETY 2

... And if there is anything which could demonstrate that we are acting rightly it is the distress that daily grows. For as a Christian I have also a duty to my own people.... When I go out in the morning and see these men standing in their queues and look into their pinched faces, then I believe I would be no Christian, but a very devil if I felt no pity for them, if I did not, as did our Lord two thousand years ago, turn against those by whom to-day this poor people is plundered and exploited. "
-Adolf Hitler, in his speech on 12 April 1922

MM HEAR HITLER BEFORE HIS CONVERSION TO THE THULE SOCIETY 1

"My feelings as a Christian points me to my Lord and Savior as a fighter. It points me to the man who once in loneliness, surrounded only by a few followers, recognized these Jews for what they were and summoned men to fight against them and who, God's truth! was greatest not as a sufferer but as a fighter. In boundless love as a Christian and as a man I read through the passage which tells us how the Lord at last rose in His might and seized the scourge to drive out of the Temple the brood of vipers and adders. How terrific was His fight for the world against the Jewish poison. To-day, after two thousand years, with deepest emotion I recognize more profoundly than ever before in the fact that it was for this that He had to shed His blood upon the Cross. As a Christian I have no duty to allow myself to be cheated, but I have the duty to be a fighter for truth and justice....

BH

the North brought BH, to destroy and to make the nations ungovernable, but they are just digging their own pit , cos the end of this end game will be the birth of the state of biafra

Deri is more confused

Dear idiot Deri,
I am yet to see any single cohesion or anything that makes sense in your post. It is riddled with rubbish and obviously garnished in a state of confusion. In fact, I have been following must of your post here; it is not meant for a sane society. By abusing Messrs otile, wahala zik etc. what has that to do with the issue at hand. You might need to go back and see the psychiatric doctor that attended to you last time.

Igbo kill igbo with acid? wetin concern boko haram?

I really do not know what is wrong with the duo of Otile and Wahala-may be too much chopping of Esewu meat in kaduna. Happily both are members of the Igbo Atilogu dancers club of Kaduna. These 2 Igbo clowns are as confused as the word confucius itself. In one breath they claim it was not the charred bodies of Igbo traders that we saw being loaded into a police truck. That the tuaregs, who in the name of Boko haram threw the bomb into the spare part market in Kaduna, got their target which was not Ibos but the Kanuris and the ppl of Kogi state. Sadly here we are with papa Otile aka Wahala, alleging that Northerners have been pouring acid from their motor battries that lugard left behind for the sultan of sokoto, on the Ibos since 1945. Was that before Zik became the beautiful bride to Balewa? Or after Akala had been beheaded by members of Maitasine cult group? Na question I ask oooooh! Over to papa sunday njokede for answers to me humble question!Animals

BLOODY CIVIL WAR LOOMING!

OBASANJO IN HIS MADNESS OPENED HIS UTTERLY UGLY MOUTH TO CLAIM HE TOLD OJUKWU TO APOLOGISE FOR THE WAR. THIS HE COULD ONLY CLAIM AFTER OJUKWU WAS DEAD, COS HE WAS SCARED TO HIS CORE BY OJUKWU'S PRESENCE, EVEN IN COMA! NOW OBASANJO AND HIS YORUBA FOOLS WILL NOT SAY ANYTHING ABOUT THE BLOOD LETTING AND OTHER ATROCITIES BEING COMMITED IN THE NORTH AGAINGT THE IGBOS, WITH SOME YORUBA COLLATERAL DEATHS. WHEN THE IGBOS REACT AS WILL SOON HAPPEN, THE YORUBAS KNOWING ALL THESE, WILL JOIN THE HAUSA/FULANI IN A MISGUIDED CALCULATION TO GRAB A LIONESS' SHARE (LION'S SHARE BELONGS TO THE HAUSA/FULANI) OF THE NATIONAL CAKE AFTER THE WAR. AND ANOTHER UGLY OREMU OR WHAT-EVER HIS YORUBA NAME MAY BE WILL WANT ANOTHER IGBOMAN TO APOLOGISE FOR THE WAR. ANYWAY, THERE WON'T BE NIGERIA AFTER THAT AND BIAFRA WILL NOT TOLERATE ANY SLIGHT FROM ANY OF IT'S NEIGHBORS, BE IT AREWA OR ODUDUWA. MARK MY WORD, THE HAND-WRITTING IS ON THE WALL FOR THOSE WHO CAN SEE!

Kaduna Bomb Blast

Why do this Yoruba "Moslems" always seek notice? When people are talking serioous issues they would be talking... Do they think the hausa- fulani moslems regard them as moslems? it is very evident when a Yoruba man is leading prayers the hausa moslem will not participate, saying the Yoruba moslem is not a true moslem. They all need to wake up and know that when issues are been said about the distruction of property and lives they are not exempt, more "moslem yoruba's" are been killed too.

Nigeria is at WAR !!! - 1

Nigeria is at war !!!. The government is treating it as "police action" but BH has declared war on the state. This fact seems to be missing from media articles and comments. Not accepting that it is war shows that the government (and indeed Nigerians) don't understand the gravity of the situation they are in.

BH cannot operate without strong support base. Their demand are the same demands Hausa/Fulani Islamic leaders and their people have been making on NIGERIA for decades - to implement sharia across the nation. Even Sanusi, the CBN governor has, through his Islamic Bank agenda and utterances, encouraged BH to include banks in their targets.

So, who are the supporters of BH? What we see in the news say a lot. Almost every Muslim from the north interviewed by the media comes out strongly in favour of negotiation with BH and meeting their demands.

Nigeria is at WAR !!! - 2

That includes, cattle rearers, illiterate hawkers, undergraduates and university professors. You will see the same trend in comments in the Internet (this forum as well) by their brightest minds. Not only that, the leaders of the Islamic north are engaged in characteristic double-talk. Rather than come out openly to condemn the BH and their devilish acts, they simply say that "Islam is peace but you have to negotiate with and meet BH's demand" At the back they give all the support to BH and supply money for the weapons and congratulate each other for the success of their evil plan. I wount be surprised if Hausa/Fulani Muslims in the security forces are sabotaging government efforts. The fact that Jonathan has sorrounded himself with these hypocrites hasn't helped matters.

The sooner the government and Nigerians recognise who the enemy is the more the possibility of saving millions of lives who have been targeted for extermination.

excisionist

Copenhagen

you are right in some parts but again clumsey statements

the african slave trade did not only involve the European masters but the Arabs as well even the Arabs did more extensive slave trade in Africa. i beg you in the name of the Almighty to do your research sensibily. yes you are correct about the Europe slaughter on Native Americans.

"Two thirds of the Christian population of Europe was slaughtered by Christians" please this is actually BOGUS as European major countries including North Africa accepted christianity b4 Muhammed came in 630AD and then onwards his followers attcked the christian and jewish populated areas in Syria, Babylonia (Iraq), Iran (with the almost extinction of the Zerostroan religion in the then Persian Empire) in around 645-650 AD check my posts on this comments page. IBRAHIM AGAIN DO YOUR RESEARCH!!!!
