#2 Why two? Sounds like a targeted hit. And where was security. If such a thing exists.

#3 Why two?

Two dead bodies recovered thus far, several wounded, and many ran away in panic. Sounds to me in my ignorance like the usual gun s3x in the process of shearing the sheep rather than anything more focussed, Whiskey Mike.

#4 Thanks TW. I hate stuff like this. My gut, my heart says “help them”. My body snickers, and says “Right, you wouldn’t survive the flight”. And the body is right. It really sucks.

#5 *hug* We’ll sit at the sidelines drinking tea and eating cookies, doing our best to enable and support the current generation, my dear, as others did for you and your cohort. There is no shame in passing the torch.

But honestly, there are so many different fights going on at the same time in Nigeria — two versions of Boko Haram jihadis, that Shiite bunch supported by Iran, the Fulani herdsmen with their jihad against the farmers, the locals who like to kidnap foreigners to get a bigger share of the oil wealth, and aof course the soldiers abusing the local civilians when they aren’t kept under proper discipline — that I have been forced to conclude the only way to really help the innocents is to reimpose a strong colonial authority, which simply isn’t going to happen. Possibly things will get somewhat better after oil prices have been low for a while, squeezing some of the wealth, and therefore the motivation toward mayhem, out of the various equations.
