Boko Haram jihadists have reportedly closed in on the Nigerian city of Maiduguri, which has an estimated population of two million, along with another 200,000 who are currently taking refuge within its borders.

Residents have said that the Boko Haram terrorists warned them that they are readying “a big grave” for Maiduguri’s residents and that “there will be no mercy.”

A local resident told the CBC regarding Boko Haram, “They kept saying they were chasing us so that we can all run into the big grave they are preparing for us in Maiduguri.”

Boko Haram is threatening a city of 2 MM which much have tens of thousands of fighting age men. I don't understand why knowing what these thugs will do these men don't arm themselves and defend their city. The Nigerians need to man up and use some of the oil wealth to hire some Western mercenaries to fight Boko.

Supposedly 130,000 men army. Supposedly the 2nd best army in Sub-Saharan Africa after the South Africans.

[P-Marlowe]

Do they have an armed citizenry or are they sitting ducks?

[dfwgator]

This is going to make Biafra look like a walk in the park before it’s over.

This could even exceed the scale of what happened in Rwanda in 94.

[Robert DeLong]

Are the arms readily available? I have to wonder the same thing is they are.

[USMCPOP]

Tens of thousands of men with machetes and tools are a formidable force.

[fatnotlazy]

Obama doesn’t care. Neither does the pope.

[Zuben Elgenubi]

It’s like Boko Haram has something like voodoo power over the natives.

And the Nigerian gov still can’t find them?

[libstripper]

You just said “TREASON” better than any of us could say by writing it.

[scooby321]

What time is Obama’s tee time?

[tumblindice]

“My name is Barack Hussein Obama, and I approve this jihad.”

[CodeToad]

Seems a city that large could wipe out BH pretty easily.

[bgill]

And what does the government and citizens do? As usual, nothing.
