    HOW SAFE IS PRESIDENT GOODLUCK JONATHAN UNDER BARRAGE OF TERRORISTS DEADLY ATTACKS ON THE NATION’S MILITARY, POLICE FORMATIONS When the house built of water becomes noticeable burning with fierce intensity those inside the wooden house should have no cause waiting to be warned to know what to do and how to run to safety. The unstoppable on going terrorists deadly onslaughts at St. Andrew Military Protestant Church at the Armed Forces Command and Staff College Jaji, and concurrently at Maiduguri on Sunday November 25 both claiming 17 lives and 2 lives so far respectively, was enough dastardly acts to set the nation’s nerves on the edge . As if that was not enough to cause hypertensive worries, barely twenty four hours thereafter, that is early morning of Monday 26 November gunmen in whatsoever evil colouration stormed what was expected to be security tight Special Anti Robbery Squad in Abuja the Federal Capital seat of Federal Government of Nigeria and that of President Goodluck Jonathan killing two police officers and freeing suspects being held there. The fact must however not be forgotten so soon that the Federal Capital Territory recorded not too long ago three of such deadly bomb explosions with deadly carriage and wanton property destruction. Interestingly off- course on one entering Abuja FC, one need not be told before noticing the air tight security presence put in place there and about this with guarantee assurance that all was well. With terrorists’ current reckless assaults at not ordinary places but at prime security tight placement expectations in Jaji and Abuja, it has becomes very clear that the chicken is home to roost with warning signal that all is after all not well. The pertinent question to be asked by all discerning minds is that how safe is our president under the security pretension pervading in Abuja It behooves that if the rats could with reckless abandon invade Jaji and SARS, dens of the Lions to kill and maim, let it be a warning that no body not even the president is safe.

    Dear Sir, Thanks for reminding all Nigerians that these are no ordinary times. The situation is actually beyond control for no fault of government but due mainly to these useless, dirty, directionless nonentities called boka harem(they do not deserve to be capitalized). If anyone wants others to follow their ways, why can't they go to the mountain top and preach and compete for members like others? Besides,what sort of unbridled arrogance is this for any sect of Nigerians to say "Our way or no way?". Perhaps it is time for the affected sections of the countries to be quarantined like we did on good old BAIYAFARA and disciplined. The problem is that it is impossible to do so in any way whatsoever.
