With this so-called bomb factory and hideout discovered and destroyed, tomorrow you will hear another bomb explotions. Nigerian securities are never serious about Boko Haram (That is if Boko Haram really exists).

Me too it pains me so much whenever I see Boko Haram taking Ojukwu's steps. It is dangerous, too much dangerous. I don't know what impressed them in his system of annihilation that they are taking after him, even though the guy died. I wonder why they cannot see how he brought tragedy to his people, how he killed millions of igbo fools in his bid for biafra. Boko Haram, I hope you will one day sit down and think on what is better for you to day. Taking (dead) ojukwu's step is never a good thing.

May God have mercy on us.
