I'd have been more suprised if the police had admitted knowledge of theses moves. If you stand at berger bus stop you'll notice the daily influx of these chadians et al who come posing as northerners on their onward journey to agege their rendezvous of sorts. No I'm not suprised at all. Let every one just be more security conscious.

This people sef, so them poser no measure up to police again, na unramed frsc naim dem dey attack. bloody cowards

This one that JTF is now mentioned in the killing i hope innocent traders are not victims now branded B/H in the style of our police force. I'd Swallow this one with a pinch of salt o.

Hewww, no solution is pleasant, an abominable act like this its best both families sit down and talk about it. But wait why are people always quick to blame someone else for our sins? If not an uncle it is the devil or the mother or even the girl, whereas the hegoat that spilled the seeds claims innocence.

Much has been said and am frankly torn between my current beliefs and objectivity.
I know for a fact that Christianity also has very bloody origins and most modern day Christians would feel repulsed if they should witness first hand the kind of blood sacrifice and sprinkling done with the life blood of animals from doves to bullocks in mosaic days.
Is that different from traditional African practices? I think not.

Now that its all been thankfully revolutionized, it is also not a bad idea for 'trado-worship' to also undergo same.
Regarding quotations from biblical sources, at times i wish our traditional histories and worship models were documented, for then we could compare quote for quote but alas, our forefathers were not as far thinking as the Egyptians of old.

My question is this? Is our society today- with all the killings, rapes corruption AND churches- a better society than the one where people didn't have to lock their doors cos no one in his right mind will attempt the types of crime we live with today?

Hmmm, very heroic and commendable. People have a right to defend their right to live but the question is with wat? Offering bowls or pesttles? Unless if we are expecting a shipload of small arms, Its best to think of practical methods of protection,

Its important we note the modus operandi of this neo-tuareg raiding party:
They go after junior cadre and otherwise helpless masses whose demise can be written off as collateral damage by a government who, at best times ignores the welfare of the common man.
If the BH touch 'ONE SINGLE' elite they will feel the 'force' in our Armed forces and they know this! (the Odi experience was a good lesson on militancy-101 to insurgent groups on killing the wrong officer).
Besides, should Nigeria split will that be the end of foreigners living in those places? afterall nigerians live everywhere on this planet.
We are chasing an effect not the cause! I've seen enough from state creation to know that a sovereign S/S, for instance, will suddenly realise their difference afterall (Ijaw, itsekiri, efik, bini etc.) and the phenomenon will be the same all over.
For the Embattled major, he knew what he signed up for when he joined the army- Death or glory! Though with our judicial system's "supersonic" pace, we may not get to see that judgement executed for another 13 years!
