– When it was Chibok abducted girls,
nobody
climbed the fence ooO – When it was mass
killings of innocent
Nigerians in Kano, Yobe, Borno,
Adamawa, Gombe,
Plateu, Taraba, Bauchi, Madalla and the
two
Abuja Bomb blasts, no body thought it wise
to
climb the fence and sign in for
impeachment. – Our schools were closed
down by long
strike
action, no body cared to climb the fence. –
The bring back our girls protesters have
been
sleeping on the streets for months in hope
of
getting our Government free those girls
from the chains of their captors, no body still
climbed the fence or cared to collect
impeachment signatures against the
president. – Our Health care system is in
shambles,
the
justice system on sale to the highest
bidder,
security of lives and properties non-
existent yet, nobody climbed the fence or
gathered
signatures for impeachment. – Nigerians
living as Internally Displaced
persons (IDP) in almost eight LGAs in
Adamawa state, you find them sleeping
outside
in the cold on the streets of Yola,
destitudes in all things, yet, nobody climbed
the fence
or
signed any impeachment signatures. – Now,
"them them" fight, "them them"
were
locked outside, they fought their way
through
the fence, they survived small tear gas
and moved in to protect their seats and
"rights".
It is always about 'them' after all... – When will
it be about the people, when
will it
be about our missing aged parents and
children, when will it be about the
common
man killed, displaced and denied justice,
when
will it be about Nigerians – When
will they climb the fence in protest
to
bring back justice, quality education, and
affordable healthcare.... – When will they climb
the fence because
of
Nigerians on the streets? When will they
gather signatures to impeach the
President
because he failed in providing the primary
role
of Government and not because of selfish
power
tussle ? Where Will they
Why Will They
When will they?


after reading this post, I make bold to say that all pdp and apc supporters are nothing but foooools.
these politicians careless about u yet my gullible apc and pdp faithful's still cant figure.

NafeesaAA:
The First group successfully over ran the MOPOL base despite brave resistance from the boys. They then join up with the second group and lunched a daring attack at the Government House. At the initial stage they seemed to have the upper hand, but a combination of Special forces and Police CTU guarding the Government House, they overcome the initial attack and inflicted massive casualty on the Boko Haram members. After suffering losses, they regroup and lunch another attack, that was when military Jets and Attack helicopters came in from Yola and started shelling them. Many where killed, many scattered to various direction. While retreating, they started setting houses on fire and they returned back to the MOPOL base and burnt the entire structures. Not done with they burnt the admin block of the Yobe state university, which I was told was the only structure affected.

The last group of fighters consisted of some of Boko Haram hardened and tested fighter where tasked with taking over the JTF HQ. That group came with suicide bombers, one suicide bomber rammed his explosives ridden vehicle at the gate of the JTF HQ while fighting was on going. But miraculously, the bomb refused to detonate, the suicide bomber came out of the vehicle and attempted to detonate the bomb manually before he was taken down by multiple burst of fire from our gallant troops. Seeing that their suicide attempt at getting into the JTF HQ is gone they retreated after coming under heavy helicopters gunshot. Many where also killed and reports reaching me indicate that some Boko Haram members where bombed while retreating back to Gujuba. A handful of them where arrested after the civilian JTF entered into the battle.

Amazing stuff, Nafeesa. Your calm, blow-by-blow description of a war raging all around you is proof enough that you are blessed with nerves of steel, which I would not be surprised to hear developed during and after military training you underwent at some point.

With Nairaland's intrepid combat reporter, Sirius Black now offline in self-exile from the job of writing war dispatches, your dispassionate front-line accounts fill a huge information void that was left when Sirius Black fell silent. Even more remarkable to me than the composed vividness of your first-person accounts describing street battles, is the very fact that you have not as yet exercised your option to simply pack up and board the next flight to safety within or without Nigeria, before airports close to civilians and trap you amid the mayhem.

I wish you the very best in the perilous place that you evidently reside, Nafeesa, but I also wish to advise that you keep your passport and other vitals packed and ready for hurried departure, if word comes on short notice that the chit has hit the fan over there, and the time is at hand to raise dust and leave in a hurry.

Keep your head down, fine woman, and, if you MUST remain there, keep us updated as history unfolds, to the best of your ability.

Seems you didn't follow this thread well.


I understand why you'll say that but I read the story and the updates , government house was fortified in the wake of the attack. Why wasn't institutions fortified as well , extra security for students abi the politicians are more important than other people in the city/state. Do you get my point ?
