Kaduna Bomb Targeted Prominent Islamic Cleric, Sheikh Gumi- PREMIUM TIMES

You people are just full of deceit. The one that failed in Maiduguri, were they targeting Gumi too? Can't you see that the wrath of God has started falling on Boko Haram and the supporters?! If you deceive all, can you deceive your maker? Wait and see what will befall all of you blood thirsty believers. This is the beginning of the end...

All propaganda priod. Just lies by Dasuki to milk the federal government dry. What has he been able to achieve with the billions spent so far on the socalled consultants such as Gumi among others-they said Azazi must go and we foolishly allowed him to go-and brought in a bicycle repairer as the NSA-no sooner had he been brought than he initiated plans to hire his own boys as consultants-to steal money-now he claims there is no money to rescue nigerians in the custody of somali pyrates-every oil revenue must now be used to settle boko haram-while we are told we cannot kill our children who murder our chidlren in the deeper life church in the kogi state of Prof Pius-if 9ja says yes to buhari who executed our brothers yesterday! wHy not say yes to boko haram our masters-its our oil revenue which is being wasted over nothing-just being throw into the desert for camels to swallow-God please help the SS to secede. Enough is enough!

see as dis idiot useless his life,hausa brain

When will the federal govt find the courage to declare a state of emergency in the BH dominated northern states and run the place until it cleanse it of BH menance.  We play too much politics when it comes to the interest of the north.  It's a shame.

It is clear that they are not fighting for Islam. No religion ask for killing religious followers in their places of worship. Attacking an Islamic scholar who offers Tafsir of the Qur'an in a mosque in the sacred month of Ramadan for simply telling the better truth against you cannot be Islam.

This serves as warning to those that ignorantly want to hurt or kill a true Man of God simply because he condemned an act of insurgencies. People can now see why some prominent northern elders dont want to make comment on the Boko Haram insurgency because govt will not afford to provide them with adequate security. Upon all the money budgeted to security #930bl nothing is done abaut security. We are praying to Allah.

the have created "bokostein" and almost impossible to put the genie back in the bottle. may the evil genuises please claim their creation.

Unfortunately this story doesn't attract comments, may be it is bad news to most commentators that's why they are keeping mute. It doesn't reach the intended place when it exploded
and this is trully the work of prayer and nothing more.

ALLAH ALMIGHTY is with you just continue
Preaching the truth and die a muslim
MAy ALLAH help us all. Amen.

ALLAH ALMIGHTY is with you just continue
Preaching the truth and die a muslim
MAy ALLAH help us all. Amen.

The limits of a trouble maker is dependent on the collective will of the troubled(people)It depends on what we want as a nation.

it became obvious that boko haram spare no one in it quest to disintergrate nigeria, prayer should be the key.

The almighty will continue to protect you inshaAllah against the all evil of this Non Muslim Boko-Haram. they will continue to explode with the prayers during and after this Holy Month of Ramadan.
Let the rest of religion come out and speak about peace not hatred as we all originate from Adam and Eve.

Some of these guys are so daft that they would even  point a gun on themselves when they wana pull the trigger.

It is unfortunate.

Who can save them?

Violence is not the way forward.Both the troubled and the trouble maker will continue to be restless until there is some level of stability in the polity.It depends on what we want as a nation.The limits of any terrorist group is dependent on the collective will of the terrorised or oppressed.

What negotiation is the beast talking about?

That Christians should negotiate thier faith with Boko Haram or that Nigeria should not be a secular State? In your wildest Dreams

Being a descent of Great Late Sheik Gunmi and himself a great Mualim, he must not be killed. We need him very badly in the day-to-day islamic activities.

Who are dis maloos deceiving?
BH has started negotiations with FG. Facilitated by Prominent Northern leaders. Are they not d sponsors?
The deputy leader called VOA! Wonderful so they are so connected that they can call any top media organizations in d world & get audience & be heard and aired? Surely this is completely a Hausa-Fulani scheme which has collapsed. We de laff!

he Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), and the Benue state Government have dismissed claims by the Action Congress that the Senior Special Assistant , Public Affairs to President Goodluck Jonathan was involved in some unwholesome acts while executing a contract in Benue state.In a statement issued on Monday by its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the party , quoting an unverified online report, said Dr Doyin Okupe, the newly appointed Senior Special Assistant to the President on Public Affairs is on the list of those being investigated by Nigeria’s anti-corruption body, the EFCC on account of a contract running into hundreds of millions of Naira .But checks reveal that the whole brouhaha was a calculated attempt to malign the presidential spokesman whose mandate among others is to properly propagate the programmes, achievements and policies of the administration.

"Northern leaders" initiated the secretive peace process with the bad boys of Boko Haram. Maybe, Dumbo is about to convert to Islam while obese Asari (himself a muslim) mouths off about numbers in his arsenal. An Ibo song goes : "rather than die at the hands of my enemy, I will go beg him." I will call him papa! Dumbo bow, nah? It's the way to go actually. Something @ said nagodi has been saying here for months, @ Uzoma once wrote the goose & gander lyrics in reference to 'approach' to the ND/BH thugs/security issues. Talk is good, it's free! Dumbo should talk to the Bokos, he can't beat them! If throwing in the towel (since we've missed the deadline for crushing them) will stop Nigerians from "dying like flies" then so be it, the bloodshed cannot be allowed to continue and Smoking-Joe just has to accept that. It's Gospel. The mumu with the long hat is clueless, let those Abokis deal with the security situation, they speak the language of the Bokos. The Ijaw clown doesn't!

they even transport these things openly on the back of an okada! only God knows how many twenty naira notes must have been taken from the okada rider through d different police checkpoints before the bomb exploded. NIGERIA WE HAIL THEE!

Israeli has a tradition of burying pigs with terrorists. Remember pig is the most profane animal to Islamic religion. A profaned body would be unable to enter the heaven where virgins are said to be rewards for killing innocent people. Gumi reportedly said the only good things in Nigeira are done by Muslims. I don't think you will disagree, if you know his definition of good; especially the good done by Northern Muslims to take this nation to El Dorado since 1960. Except the blind everyone could also see the good in all the core Northern States: in their exemplary development standards, in the many laurels they had won for this nation since independence, their writers, Nobel Laureates and sportsmen. Just look out the next time a Nigeian excel in science, arts and technology, you'll find he or she is a Northerner. That is the type of good Gumi is talking about, and the man must be wondering why many of us still don't want to share in that good

It is shocking that any journalist worth his pen will publish this kind of rubbish. Is this a sloppy PR for the Gumi fellow whose comments reported here yesterday provoked great outrage from disgusted Nigerians? Yes, the Premium Times has been shamelessly parroting the parochial views of the Muslim North, but this is stretching sloppiness and misinformation to the point of nausea. So, just because the fools were quickly dispatched to HELL to join Mohammed their master there by 3 pm when the Sheik goes out to spew his boring sermons, the bombs were targeted at him? This is the only evidence that provoked this infantile conclusion? It is a pity. And a double pity that even SR is enthusiastically recycling this rubbish. Was it not the Sheik that invited the Faruk fellow to spew hate and war during his sermon yesterday? Sorry.

@ Smoking-Joe Igbokwe :
Remember how I ended my counsel to you in the your last outburst of an article? Are you now beginning to understand why the generals are silent up North? Again, be rather careful what you put out for public consumption, show-boating & grandstanding serve no good. The report says : "the Shiekh is clearly the traget" according to an eye witness, not government propaganda. Fact is, nobody is safe under Dr. Dumbo but ol' Joe would rather hide inside Tinubu's agbada in Eko City and haul profanities at people, like the Obese Dr. Doyin, who is now equally embroiled in his own fraud allegations for talking trash. Smoking-Joe's fraudulent claims in his last outburst have effectively been impeached with this attack on the Shiekh. Everyon's a 'target' in Dumbo's 9ja and that a fact!

When muslims repeadetly insist; BH is anti Islam this what they mean. How on earth can this act be in any way for the sake of Islam, especially in this holy month of Ramadan.Sheik Jaafar was assasinated during morning prayers in congregation in a mosque; he was an open critic of BH; Sheik Abba Aji was threatened by BH for being openly against the myopic group, the Emir of Yobe and Shehu of Borno narrowly escaped death only a few months ago by BH. All these are not just muslims but leaders as well. BH is not islamic but demonic

Iam happy that Northern Leaders have seen the need to facilitate negotiation between the "unknown" Boko Haram and Known Federal Government of Nigeria.It means that the "unknown Boko Haram" are Nigerians of Northern origin and not from the South, West, East or Middle Belt.This same Northern Leaders should investigate what the previous Head of State, Presidents from the North that rule Nigeria for more than 30m years used the money they stole to do for the Northern Youths, Children and women.Let this Northern Leaders visit Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Qatar, UAE etc , the core Islamic Nations and see real development and peaceful co-existent. No Almajaris is found there.This same Northern Leaders should appreciate GEJ for building for the first time Islamic schools for the poor Northern Youths.

My friend from SouthSouth, I agree with you and equally sympathize with the Akwa Ibom people on the recently reported spillage on the Atlantic. Nigerian government will pretend now as if nothing happens. The legislooters and PhD thieves in corridors of power will not do anything because they are stealing from the Multinational oil companies. Such thing cannot happen in any country like here in the U.S.A
The American government will put fire under the bottom of ExxonMobil. You will see more than 10 to 15 law firms ready to prosecute them and demand for immediate clean up and compensation for the affected communities. It is only in Nigeria that politicians talk about sharing of oil money but cannot share the pains of oil spillage inflicted on the host communities. This inform why the Niger Delta people need their Nation since a conglomerate called Nigeria is not caring about their more than 50years of suffering.

Nemesis is real and we can see this one clearly! Those who killed by the sword will also die by their swords. There is another oil spill in Akwa Ibom and the people are subjected again to untold hardship due to the ecological damage. Yesterday, my neighbor fisherman came back home empty hand as all the fish is floating on top of the river now due to oil spill.
ExxonMobil thank you for killing our fish.Iam yet to read this morning from anybody from Northern Nigeria any form of rejoinder or protest regarding this spill but some people want all the oil money from Niger Delta to be sent to their bank account. Can Boko Haram leaders in Nigeria protest letter to ExxonMobil please? Can National assembly query ExxonMobil for this mega crime against Niger Delta People? Would it be right if Niger Delta people decide to take their resources to clean up and restore their land and water body? I hope no one will raise a voice then to demand for abrogation of offshore/onshore dichotomy.

Bcs d sect target sheik all d xcrtiax r silent.shameless people.

To sheik Ahmed Gumi, I will urge him to continue to stand for the truth if actually he is honest about his campaign against the dare devil Boko Haram.

Since you are also a Moslem , it will be better to mobilise frontiers like IBB, Ciroma, Buhari, Shagari, Abdulsalam and all other Hausa/Fulani;s to openly speak against the Boko Haram and even assist the Army, SSS and the Police to figure out the perpetrators. Everybody knows that those enlisted to execute this agenda in the North take directive from some aggrieved "Big Ogas" from this region due to political indifference. My humble advise again is that if all Nigerians from North, South, East, West come together for a National conference , issues bothering each region can be trash out amicably and Nigeria will emerge as a very great COUNRTY in Africa and even in the world.
