Hmmmmm, it looks like a little retaliation is starting to take place against radical Islam.
YAY!!!
Too bad they didn’t hit one of those internet cafes where all the scams come from
Fighting fire with fire?
Work accident?
After assembly it was destroyed in transit...
Watch out Christians, we may send our troops in to protect the muslims. Even though you are right to retaliate.
Sounds like the begining of WW1 all over again.
My first thought was Christians not “turning the other cheek” and retaliating. Second thought was that someone wants to start a world-wide religious war.
We’ll see.
This place was apparently Boko Haram’s main center, so I doubt that Christians would have been able to pull it off even if they had wanted to.
It was probably a “work accident” in a munitions-stuffed mosque. Or it could be an attack by Boko Haram on a mosque perceived as not radical enough, or even something done so that they could whip up their devotees by claiming it was done by Christians.
Maybe the Christian leaders passed a fartwa banning pacifism! A counter-jihad against the Muzzies is long overdue...everywhere, but let it start there.
Muslims fight more amongst each other than they do even against the infidels.
I hope this is Catholic payback. If so, 5 dead is not nearly enough.
Apparently their pig-dog-god wasn't willing.
“..they could whip up their devotees by claiming it was done by Christians.”
Good point, sorta like Hitler’s Reichstag fire was used against the Communists.
Too bad it won’t stay there. Coming to our shores soon, I fear.
Thanks, all.
Sapele Bomb Blast Not A Reprisal -Minister

The Minister of Niger- Delta, Hajia Zainab Kuchi, has said that the bomb explosion that rocked the Islamic School, Sapele, Dalta State, on Wednesday, was not a reprisal attack, just as she called on people to remain calm as the Federal Government is doing its best to address the spate of bomb blasts in the country.
The minister spoke on Thursday, while commiserating with the leadership and people of St Theresa Catholic Church, Madalla, Niger State, where a Christmas Day bomb-blast claimed over 43 lives, noting that the spate of explosions in parts of the country is beyond religious reasons.
She maintained that the present security challenges facing the country is not unconnected to agents of destruction, who are hell-bent on destabilising the country, saying it was when Abuja was inpenetrable for them that the perpetrators resorted to places like Madalla.
According to her, government would not rest on its oars until the perpetrators and their sponsors are unearthed and brought to book, adding that no serious government will fold its arms to watch her citizens maimed and killed.
Kuchi dismissed the idea that it was economic hardship that compelled people to take to terrorism, stating that there are more economically backward countries than Nigeria in the West African sub-region, but are living peacefully.
On a stop-over, the minister commiserated with the Emir of Suleja, Mallam Auwal Ibrahim over the incident and prayed for the repose of the souls of those who lost their lives during the blast.
She also made donation of an undisclosed amount of money to the Parish Priest of the Catholic church, Reverend Father Isaac Achi, for the victims of the bomb blast.
Thanks for the update. Is that like saying the attack on Ft. Hood wasn’t by a muslim but workplace violence? Helps with calming things down.
