Election 2015: Bomb Blast in Enugu State

By Guardian Nigeria
28 March 2015   |   9:20 am
A bomb went off at the WTC primary and secondary school premises. There are five polling booths in the WTC complex.

A bomb went off at the WTC primary and secondary school premises. There are five polling booths in the WTC complex and according to a female witness, who lives very close to the premises, the first bomb went off with a deafening blast at 7.38am.

The noise attracted policemen and residents around the area to the sight of the blast including early voters. But the regular policemen, worried that there could be more bombs, warned people off while they waited for the arrival of the police bomb squad.

With the arrival of the Bomb Squad, it was learnt that the first bomb was planted in a Honda saloon car. The Commissioner of Police who was drafted in the area for the election exercise, Dan Bature was at the scene as well.

As at the time of filing this report, the Bomb Squad had detonated three other bombs and were still trying to detonate others.

Addressing journalists, Bature confirmed that a Honda Accord car with registration number KUJ 971 LB was abandoned in the WTC “and our men were alerted. The Bomb Disposal Department discovered some well-placed Improvised Explosive Devises (IED).

Bature said, “we don’t know their motives or who they are. No lives were lost. We are here in full strength and we are on top of the situation. All is well and we will ensure those who are here to vote will vote.”

          Buhari doesn’t have the power to death and life, he doesn’t even have a clue who you or me is? Except you want to tell me you have reasons to run and hide or avoid being killed. Why should I be sentimenta? He is not my father, not my family member, I don’t know the man but all I say is bearing who ever wins this election Nigeria should remain in peace, it’s four years not forever, Jonathan can’t contest after this term Buhari can’t contest because of age, trust me whoever wins

Kill all your bias, you open your mouth to call Biafrans where we’re you when your kind threw Nigeria into civil war. Dundee United.

          Bright Smith, atleast I spelt your name right, and the last time I checked am not writing Chinese but English, stop preaching hate I am not a hausa,igbo or yoruba man, neither do I bare two borrowed names like you. Unlike you I bare Adache Eneojo Gabriel, I am a Nigerian youth, I say again absent of any sentiments let the best man win, being a Christian is beyond your unguided utterances. Long live the federal republic of Nigeria.

            It is a pity that you call yourself a Nigerian. Aren’t you ashamed of saying that? A contraption concocted by the British to keep Biafrans captive. Named by a harlot; Flora Shaw… Lugard’s girlfriend, and after a river. Which other country is named like that?

            What is the true meaning of Nigeria? Even after the forced union expired (1914 – 2014), you still do not care to ask questions, or at least renew the union, instead you go about keeping the contraption “one” for the slave masters; the British and accomplices.

            Biafra means Bia(come) Fara(join), very reasonable, isn’t it?

          So unfortunate your name is the direct opposite, I am not asking you not to vote but I am a supporter of no violence baring the outcome of the election, have you seen what post election violence has caused in Sierra Leone, or Liberia if you have my brother.

      My brother where in your bible did Jesus ask you to go to war on his behalf? When Peter cut off the ear, did Jesus clap for him? No, he picked up the ear and replaced it. Shame on you to insult a man who is a priest, go and become a Christian before you write rubbish. Even in death Jesus endured the cross, mortal man!

        2 Corinthians 6:14 Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and
        wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with
        darkness?. You can GEJ is not a Christian but he has align himself with us. Jesus to his disciple about the people healing with His name Mark 9:40 ‘for whoever is not against us is for us.’ Please we are not serving the same God.

      Why you guys keep talking about Jesus and bible. Nigerians are so ignorant. Oyinbo has made us loose our culture by bringing outside religion. Now, we cant do nothing, all we do is depend on Jesus.. We read a bible, that we dont know who wrote. Am in USA and I can tell you life is not the way it looks. Some people set it up.

      • Author’s gravatar

        Ade you are nothing but a demon possess with out bible and jesus the world is nothing i respect culture but i dont respect demonic culture like the one you are talking about…please yoroba man you need jesus, demonic yoruba shushu will never self you..ANY CULTURE OR REGION WITH OUT JESUS IS ONE WAY TO HELL FIRE…ade,ade,ade.,how many times did i call you be careful watch you say…

        • Author’s gravatar

          How am I a demon?cos I don’t have Jesus? I’m not gonna call you ignorant. I never said Jesus is fake, I just feel like every culture has their own messenger from God. And Jesus is not for us. They brought Christianity to us in Africa and use to steal our goods and people. If you take time to study your culture and history, you would get what am saying. Why do you think great people like Fela, woke Soyinka, Achebe emphasized on cultural religion and practices.

          • Author’s gravatar

            How are u even saved? You just given hope everyday in church. And they keep u happy in hope. White people here in USA have no Jesus, trust me. They live better thank kings. They left Christianity for us, and all we say is faith and hope till we die.

          • Author’s gravatar

            are you serving a white man,you are serving God and his son jesus….the bible said we are in the world but we are not of the world…the world and material things is for the devil..ade go and perish in hell only you..what am my doing with being a celebrity to hell with celebrity…

            i wonder if have read thestory of two men that went topray.one said “God i thank u becos i am not like that who is a sinner” the other man said “God i know i am a sinner please have mercy one me”. the prayer of that arrogant man did nt gt to God,because God was angry why he should exalt himself.the other humble dude found favour in the eyes of God.

            again. people are entitled to their own beliefsthat they donot share ur thoughts does not mean that its insignificant.u cannot enforce ur thoughts or beliefs on other people.even if u know jesus, my own bible says our rightoeousness is as a filthy rag before God,and that everyman has the opportunity to make his own choice. without holiness u cannot please God. so ur attitude is also afree ticket to hel. intelligent people have the ability to hold conversations and follow up in it. instead of sayin Z when the other person saya A.

        • Author’s gravatar

          mr bright.i have gone thru allcoments u cannot even hold a simple conversation with anybody on here.u abuse everybody and anybody that says anything.be it negative or positive.is that ur idea of being a christian.i think not.please get a grip. its nt personal bt i thinku should stop being vulgar and rude

    Who has the most chance of winning the 2015 presidential elections?

    Muhammadu Buhari / Yemi Osinbajo (68%, 41,667 Votes)
    Goodluck Jonathan / Namadi Sambo (32%, 18,688 Votes)

    I don’t care about Buhari or Jonathan. I know the only way Nigeria can be successful is if the youth get aggressive and take over the old fools. The youths nowadays don’t really care about ethnic or tribe differences. We just love one another as naija. May Eledumare bless naija

    Buhari / Goodluck Jonathan can everyone stop pointing fingers at each oda & abusing themselves b/c calling urselves illiterates actually makes u one both literally, spiritually and otherwise.
