University Of Maiduguri Shut Down As Boko Haram-Linked Killings Increase

By SaharaReporters, New York

School officials have ordered the suspension of studies at the University of Maiduguri after consideration of the rapidly deteriorating security situation.

The official notice did not mention the radical  Islamist group Boko Haram but it was obviously linked to the increase in Boko Haram-linked killings and the growing threat of a civil war by the group which opposes Western ideology.

Also, SaharaReporters sources inform that a letter from Boko Haram to school officials is demanding that the school shut down by a specific date or face consequences. Studies on the campus are suspended with effect from Tuesday the 12th of July.
 
The University letter circulated to students followed an emergency meeting held by  the Committee of Provost, Deans and Directors (CPDD). Our sources said the Governor of the state, Kashim Shettima, was in attendance and that President Goodluck Jonathan, who is officially the constitutionally appointed "visitor" to the university signed off on the closure of the school.
 
 SaharaReporters has also learnt that Boko Haram issued threats to staff and students at UNIMAID and the University Teaching Hospital in the city.

I guess, this is concern of racial issues, good that they made closure on that university to at least protect the security of other students and possible next victims.

I weep oh Mama...! My

I weep oh Mama...!
My brothers are desperate for war.
See how we take sides in innocence,
To ignite anger upon our hearts,
And hatred upon our Earth.

Soon the evil spoken freely will come,
From amidst our words upon us it shall descend.
Nothing else will matter anymore...,
Only the inevitable regrets of our spilt bloods,
And the bitter agony of a raped World.

I may never fully grasp how we got here,
But to thee dear Mama, do I humbly pray,
That we be swiftly quickened to trully see,
That tho' our travails does deeply hurts,
Yet the option of Anger is never really a choice.

The only conquest i seek is my heart,
The only existence i dread is my life.
I sit under the Iroko that I may learn its ways:
To bleed, and to bear, and to endure the hurts,
Yet to be nobly strong even if it be unto death.

Jah Guide!
One Love.

At some point in time, we should stop kidding ourselves that we can co-exist peacefully. All it takes is a little spark.

re:all christians who abuse

are u sure we r really worshiping one God as u claim? If we really r then i wonder why u muslims spend so much energy fighting and killing christians and calling us "kaffiri" that would equally mean u were one also. U only claim dat wen u seek to work on our psyche. we can c thru ur gimmicks

All Christians who abuse

All Christians who abuse Allah should consider this-
Al-LAH in arabic means The One.ALL Christians of arabic origin pray to Al LAH in the Christian bible in arabic.So if you like continue pointing back the finger of insult in ignorance no more.Now you know

Alot of people that hate

Alot of people that hate Islam will seize this opportunity to kill and destroy property as Boko Haram,Good Muslim will never
'never' kill innocent human being.And for those that are insulting Allah and Muhammad(PBU) Allah/GOD (S.W.A) is enough for you and he is all aware all knowing and all wise.

See what ignorant has done to

See what ignorant has done to some people. Imagine, this so called idiot the way he address Allah. This is ignorant of the highest level.I pray u repent b4 u die. Its a pity. Meanwhile, do u think u are more educated than some muslims. Check ur ignorant level. A big fool

THIS IS BAD

I am a christian and love God. Brother is christ please lets stop abusing Allah, if you abuse Allah you abuse God, because God is Allah and Allah is God. I do not suport killing of innocent people, but let us not allow our emotions to make us sin against the Almighty God we all claim to love because of our hatred for a particular section of the Country and some few bad eggs amongst them. I have been a branch manager in the north before now, while there are some bad people there, I also met and fell in love with God fearing and wonderful northerners. I dont mind if we go seperate ways, but even amongst us we have muslims and christians in the south. plase stop saying bad things towards the name Allah. God be with us all.

Solution not confrontation

This sect were once peaceful, preaching peace and carrying out legitimate business. Why is it that just of a sudden they decided to turn violent? This is the issue that must be investigated and address. Until Nigeria can identify the root cause of the Boko Haram violent approach, we will continue to hear sad stories about their activities. They (Boko Haram) said that they want justice. The question is, justice for who, for what and when did the injustice occure? Well, SSS, a duty for you. Pls fellow Nigerians, we should desist from calling ourselves names. If anyone has nothing good to say about the other religeon pls dont say a thing about it. It is not in our character. God bless Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Who ever this is, you are

Who ever this is, you are just trying to make to a bad situation worse with such illiterate statements. You will not get the attention you obviously want. No one should pay attention to such bigotry, we do not need such shallow minded and low IQ individuals in Nigeria.

WATCH AND PRAY

Education is 'indeed' a sin when you are blind. Well done Boko Haram. Your end is very near. Mark my word.

Suspicious quiteness

It is SHOCKING and SHAMEFUL that despite all the bombs and killings of innocent civillians by Boko haram,the northern elites,including Buhari,IBB,Atiku,Gusua etc have not issued any statement condemning these actions.

allah and Jehovah are not the same !!!

I find it necessary to comment, not only as a reply to you, but as an advice 2 others. Do you know Allah means the creator of Heavens & Earth and what is in-between? To attribute your comment to a human being is bad, how much more God Almighty. We can all find reasons to insult if we search. Pls don't do dis again and repent b4 a pastor (or father). How do you feel when Jews say bad things about Jesus? And thier claims are backed by 'facts'.

Please go and educate yourself -allah and JEHOVAH are not the same. It's satan's biggest deception since tricking Eve. allah knows islam will not last unless he calls himself God and throw Jesus and God's holy prophets in as a prophets of islam.

Sexual pervert, pedophile mohammed never saw angel Gabriel -it was allah's (satan) demons that were appearing to mohammed during those epileptic seizures and hallucinations disguised as angel Gabriel !!!

Editor remove that comment

Editor you should know better, quickly remove that comment on Allah

CURIOUS 1, YOU ARE IGNORANT

CURIOUS 1, YOU ARE IGNORANT AND A FOOL. WHO IS ALLAH (SWT), WHO IS GOD?

BOKO HARAM IS A FUNDAMENTALIST IN ISLAMIC RELIGION (I.E. EXTRIMISTS.....WHO ARE MISGUIDED). WE HAVE THEM IN THE CHRISTIAN FAITH TOO.........IF YOU DARE CROSS THEIR PATH AND YOU ARE NOT OF THEIR OWN SECTION, YOU WILL NOTICE THAT THE COMMANDMENT "LOVE THY NEIGHBOUR...." DOES NOT MEAN ANYTHING TO THEM. DO YOU WANT TO TELL ME THAT THEY DID NOT READ THIS IN THE BIBLE?

ALLAH IS GOD. THERE IS ONLY ONE SUPREME BEING WHO CREATED HEAVEN AND EARTH. WE JUST CALL HIM BY DIFFERENT NAMES....YAHWEH, JEHOVAH, ETC

boko haram

This problem of boko haram iz getting worse, all we need to do iz to for God protection!

Failure of the SSS

This is a gross failure of the SSS. This security apparatus is not made to wear unfitted suits and follow governors around like bees.

Go and gather intelligence!!! Idiots

allah and education dont mix

Those Jews saying derogatory remarks about Jesus are the Ignorant and un-influential once. Answer these:-
-which nations (US) assisted the Jews to reclaim their "promised land" from Muslims and Palestines?
-Which nation (US) assisted them with weapons to defit the Muslim world in 1967 war?
-which nation (US) is the highest protector, financier and supporter of Israel even in UN against palestinian and Islamic hatred for Jews?
-Which nation (US) single handedly turned the Nacist conquest into defit during the 2nd World War and Executed Hitlers'deputy-Georing Haman
-which nation (US)brought Japan to her knees to surrender to the allied forces during the 2nd WW that consumed more than 6 Mil Jews?
-Which nation (US) is the worlds best friend of the nation of Israel?
-Can Benjamin Nathanyaho EVER say any bad abtJeses?
-What can you say about Jesus to the Americans (US pple)?
So, u can see there no reasonable Jew that can make bad remark about Jesus.

allah and education dont mix

Sorry to the other guys who micked offence at the above writing and mis-intepreted it. I am not the writter but wish to clarify things:
-The writer was 100% right.Why?
1) He said "allah" and not ALLAH. Any diety written with in "small" letter stand for an "Idol" and not the Real GOD. Eg Hindu religion "god" is either a "Monkey of Cow". Both are animals which you very well know and so cannot be the "ALMIGHTY GOD-THE CREATOR". But hindu faithful sees him assuch just like the way you are confusin allah and ALLAH. So the 'god' making boko haram, Osama Bin Laden, Prop Moh'd to kill Gods' creatures can never be "the Loving God" that made man and made him a free-moral-agent.
The writers ascertion is the true state of every knowledgable Christian mind. However, like the way courtsy demand respect for hindu god "Cow", thats why most christians refrane from slandering allah.

Test for BOKO HARAM with a reward of a Pastor Convert

7) Do you (BHM) listen to news (Radio, TV, Computer, Internet, and News Paper etc) which are all product of Western Education Technology or Shariah Education Technology?
8) Do you (BHM) build or stay in houses built using building materials manufactured by Western Education Technology or Shariah Education Technology?

ARE WE READY TO DEFENND THE SOUTH?

Beyond any iota of doubt, the Boko Haram sect will invade the South and attempt to force its way on us. Are we ready to defend the South? It is obvious that all the clowns and sycophants surrounding Jonathan have no clue. People like Kingsley Kuku and the other Ijaw irrendentists are just there to make money and bolt for safer climes when Nigeria implodes. We must be prepared to defend the South, to resist the imposition of Hausa/Fulani rule on the South when that time comes. Southerners shoud not capitulate this time around. If we do, we will forever remain the slaves of these self seeking and self deluding terrorists. If the ACF and all the other Norhten political groups who promised to make the country ungovernable are true to thwir words, we muxt keep the South for us and they can have the North. Jonathan's days are numbered whether we like it or not. Deri, hopefully, you will be in the forefront to defend your land. Time is not our friend. We need to hurry up.

Sad, sad state of affairs

It's unfortunate what's happening to these students who are supposed to represent our future.

STOP THE BLASPHEMY!

WHO ARE THESE BIGOTS WRITING PERVERSIVE, INSENSITIVE AND INTOLERANT STATEMENTS? YOU SEE, THIS IS THE PROBLEM WITH NIGERIANS. THIS IS WHY I CALL THEM GULLIBLE IMBECILES. WHAT HAS ALLAH (SWT) HAS TO DO WITH ALL THESE CORRUPT MILITRICIANS AND POLITICIANS WHO HAVE RUINED THE POTENTIALS AND OPPORTUNITIES THAT ALLAH (GOD ALMIGHT) HAS BESTOWED ON US ALL. WHO VOTED FOR THE IBORIS, ALAO AKALAS, GOODLUCK JONATHANS, BANK-OLE, DAVID MARKS ET AL? ISN'T IT YOU GUMLESS NIGERIANS? THE DEPRIVITIES THAT CREATED THE BOKO HARAMS OF THIS WORLD DID NOT START YESTERDAY, IT STARTED SINCE INDEPENDENCE WHEN THE NIGERIAN STATE CRUSHED INNOCENT WOMEN AND CHILDREN OF BIAFRA. UNTIL JUSTICE IS DONE AND CORRUPTION ERADICATED FROM THE ALLEY OF POWER, THERE WILL BE MORE BOKO HARAM IN THE SOUTH SOUTH, SOUTH EAST AND THE SOUTH WEST. YOU WAIT AND SEE. STOP INSULTING GOD ALMIGHTY. STOP ALL BLASPHEMY. DIRECT YOUR FRUSTRATION TOWARDS THE NIGERIAN STATE AND ITS CORRUPT, VISIONLESS LEADERS.

Education and allah don't mix !!

Education and allah don't mix !!

Bloodthirsty filthy allah needs the ignorant illiterate masses "almajiris" as his foot soldiers.

Blood thirsty, filthy allah's pedophile, sexual pervert prophet mohammed needs to keep majority illiterate so they can't be logically minded enough to question the satanic revelation called "koran" he received during epileptic seizures !!

Bloodthirsty allah and sexual pervert mohammed need to keep virtually all the women illiterate so that they can become "baby factories" from as early as age 10 yrs (with disgusting VVF/RVF consequence) for breeding almajiris like rats for allah's use anytime he needs to drink blood !!!!
