BOKO-HARAM HITS YOLA


Lagos, Nigeria (CNN) has reported that according to a local Red Cross Official, Aliyu Maikano, at least 31 people killed and 72 others injured in a bomb blast that rocked Yola in Northeastern Nigeria Yesterday, Tuesday 17th November, 2015 at about 7:48pm local time (1:48 PM ET), shortly after the evening prayers.

This area houses a livestock market, an open-air restaurant and a mosque. The explosion happened as traders were leaving the mosque and others were eating at the restaurant.

I seem to remember His Excellency, GMB, calling the former president GEJ, a clueless president due to his inability to defeat Boko-Haram. I completely remember when he was just a Presidential Aspirant under the APC, he promised to dismantle the notorious sect within three (3) months.

My question is, what happened to those promises? What happened to the CHANGE that was like an epidermic air-bourne virus on the mouths of many Buhari supporters that made it seems like just the mention of the mere words "CHANGE", like a genie robbing his golden lamb, all our problems will disappear?

My heart really bleeds for this country that I love so much and even when i consciously try not to make it my business, It feels like that negligence draws away life from my body and It feels like I am holding my breath on land and breathing under water.

My fellow Nigerians, My brothers and sisters, What can we do to stop this madness?
