Suicide Bombings In Church Again. Will Nigeria Stay Together?

I was in a prayer session in my service when my phone vibrated, I opted to finish my spiritual communication before taking a look at the notification. Immediately I had the chance to do so, I was greeted with the least of imaginable thoughts. Another explosion and yet again in the Northern part of Nigeria.

St. Rita Catholic Church in Ungwar Yero area of Kaduna metropolis had been hit by a bomb of great magnitude leaving 11-people dead and over 40 injured as at last count. This was another scary moment and another reason to re-ignite the burning question of how long will Nigerians continue to endure this shame and disrespect for human lives?

Just like the normal routine, the President of Nigeria has already condemned the unfortunate incidence and commiserated with families and friends of the victims. Despite the same response after every sequential attacks, government isn't showing any sign that they can handle the situation. I fear for this nation and it is hoped that government get their acts together before this crises degenerates into a chaotic state where angry Nigerians take over the streets unclad to emancipate themselves from the shackles of corrupt leaders and free themselves from the fraudulent amalgamation of 1914.

Inteligence Report: Boko Haram Base Traced to Mali

The fight against Boko Haram is recording success as the operational base of the Islamic sect has been confirmed to be located in Mali. The National Security Adviser, Col Sambo Dasuki (retd) and President Jonathan were in Mali for a secret meeting with the military authorities, following a strong intelligence report which shows that Mali’s northern region is being used as the operational base of the dreaded sect.

A reliable diplomatic source revealed that the President's visits was more than just making a stopover in Bamako, the Malian capital as announced by Abati in his statement.

“the Nigerian president actually left Niamey, Niger Republic on Thursday, October 18 and went straight for the main goal of his trip, which is to hold talks with the Malian authorities, as part of efforts to dismantle the main structure of Boko Haram in the North of the country (Mali).”

During the meeting between President Jonathan and Mali’s interim president Traore, was “to stabilize the civilian regime of Traore, mobilize African and ECOWAS forces to Mali, with a view to flushing out all islamist groups and rebels, including Boko Haram leaders that had taken control of North of Mali.” In a separate discussion with Captain Sanogo, President Jonathan was said to have offered him a political asylum in Nigeria to pave the way for Traore’s full control of Mali’s armed forces, which are still loyal to Sanogo. “If the Nigerian government can get Traore relocated to Nigeria, the stability Nigeria needs in Mali to fight its own enemy hiding and operating from our territory would have been achieved half-way,” a diplomatic source privy to the development told Saturday Sun. It was, however, not yet clear at press time whether Traore has accepted the offer of asylum from President Jonathan.

“What is certain is the success of the war against Boko Haram depends largely on the stability in Mali and the ability of the African and the entire international community to dislodge all rebels and Islamist groups operating in northern Mali because if you observe closely, they share the same religious ideology and modus operandi with Boko Haram militants. If you follow developments there, you will notice that the Islamists have imposed a harsh interpretation of Sharia in the areas they control in the north of Mali and there are reports of people being stoned to death and having their limbs amputated,” the source added.

STATEMENT BY PRESIDENT GOODLUCK JONATHAN

EID-EL-KABIR MESSAGE TO NIGERIANS FROM GOODLUCK EBELE JONATHAN, GCFR, PRESIDENT, COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF OF THE ARMED FORCES OF THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA

My Dear Compatriots,

Image Credit: Osawaro Images

1. I extend warm greetings and felicitations to you all as we celebrate this year’s Eid-el-Kabir festival.

2. I also congratulate all Nigerians who successfully undertook the Hajj this year despite the unforeseen difficulties which developed over the issue of male companions for some of our female pilgrims.

3. Although the problem was eventually resolved with the positive intervention of the Federal Government, I have ordered a thorough post mortem of the incident with a view to ensuring that our Hajj airlift operations are never disrupted by such problems in future and that no Nigerian pilgrim is ever subjected to such traumatic experience in the Holy Land again.

4. Nigerians remain a people of great faith with the vast majority of our people professing belief in God either as Muslims or Christians.

5. I believe therefore that we should all seize the opportunity of the Sallah season and the public holidays to reflect on how we can bring the ideals and virtues of our religious beliefs to bear on the positive resolution of the many challenges facing us as a nation.

6. There can be no doubt that we will make faster progress towards the attainment of developmental objectives as a nation if we all resolve to do more to live up to the highest ideals of our religious beliefs including the fear of God, willingness to make personal sacrifices for the collective good, selfless service, respect for laws and constituted authorities, honesty, justice, equity, fairness, dutifulness, peace and harmonious co-existence with others.

7. My administration will continue to give dedicated, committed, focused and purposeful leadership towards overcoming old and emerging challenges before the nation.

8. While our doors remain open for constructive engagement and dialogue with all Nigerians, we shall continue to aggressively implement all measures deemed necessary for the restoration and maintenance of peace in all parts of the country.

9. As we celebrate the Eid-El-Kabir, let us all remember the plight of the many thousands of our compatriots who have been displaced by the floods which recently devastated many communities across the nation and resolve to contribute whatever we can to ameliorate their suffering.

10. I have already announced a relief package of close to N18 billion and constituted a national committee to raise more funds to help victims of the floods.

11. In the true spirit of our major religions which enjoin us to be generous to the needy, I urge all Nigerians who can do so, to donate munificently to the national relief fund for affected persons and communities.

12. We will monitor the disbursement and utilization of the funds released by the Federal Government and those raised by the National Committee very closely to ensure that they are judiciously and expeditiously expended for the benefit of the flood victims.

13. May God bless and reward all who help the flood victims.

14. I wish all Nigerians who undertook the Hajj a safe journey back home.

15. Happy Sallah to all Nigerians.

Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, GCFR

President, Federal Republic of Nigeria

May the soul of the dead rest in peace.
