"I don't have any problem with Trump bringing troops to Nigeria, mentioning only Christians is what baffles me coz both Muslims and Christians are being killed on a daily basis, so why is he coming to fight for Christians only? Is that not a religious war?"
@folake said:
"They have been attacking that place since, I remember my Nysc year, when they posted some of my mates there during Electio period, they were scared."
@ELEGANT LADY said:
"And this church is among houses until we know that African magic can be used in this kind of situation, those around the area what were they doing when they came in and when they were going back."
@Holarkanmi reacted:

@possy_possy reacted:
"The scary thing right now is how often we hear bad news. It becomes too frequent that after a while, you start to feel numb. It begins to sound normal; doesn't make you flinch, doesn't make you sad, just sounds normal. And honestly, the moment tragedy starts to feel normal, it is a dangerous place to be. is a very dangerous place to be."
@tomiwa_94 added:
"How did we get here? The country is not safe to live in anymore. The government can no longer secure lives and properties of her citizens."
