"Nigerian airplane crashes, killing all 153 on board; Cause unknown; worst air disaster in nation since ’92" by Jon Gambrell | Associated Press, June 04, 2012
LAGOS, Nigeria - A commercial airliner crashed into a densely populated neighborhood in Nigeria’s largest city on Sunday, killing all 153 people on board and others on the ground in the worst air disaster in nearly two decades for the troubled nation.
I'm always suspicious of plane crashes now given all the lies we have been told over so many years.
The cause of the Dana Air crash remained unknown Sunday night, as firefighters and police struggled to put out the flames around the wreckage of the Boeing MD83 aircraft.
But land in a field in Pennsylvania or on the lawn at the Pentagon and.... sigh.
Pieces of the plane lay scattered around the muddy ground.
But land in a field in Pennsylvania or on the lawn at the Pentagon and.... sigh.
While local residents helped carry fire hoses to the crash site, the major challenges of life in oil-rich Nigeria quickly became apparent as there was no water to put out the flames more than three hours later. Some young men carried plastic buckets of water to the fire....
Sunday’s crash appeared to be the worst since September 1992, when a military transport plane crashed into a swamp shortly after takeoff from Lagos. All 163 army soldiers, relatives, and crew members on board were killed.
That is EVEN MORE SUSPICIOUS!! It's unfortunate that I do not have the time to research the wreckage. Smells like some sort of coup to me.
Yeah, maybe the commercial jet goes down in an "accident" (was anyone important or controversial on the plane?), but the aircraft that protect important and powerful people? Please.
The crash also comes as Nigeria, which became a democracy in 1999 after years of military rule, faces increasing sectarian bloodshed across its largely Muslim north from a radical Islamist sect known as Boko Haram....
Just wondering what intelligence agency destabilization efforts have to do with the plane crash (more on that below).

"Crash toll remains unclear as Nigeria plumbs jet debris; US citizens were among the 153 known casualties" by Jon Gambrell | Associated Press, June 05, 2012

Lagos, Nigeria. Emergency workers used dogs and cranes to hunt for
remains. It was feared many people on the ground were killed (Jon Gambrell/Associated Press)
But land in a field in Pennsylvania or on the lawn at the Pentagon and.... sigh.
LAGOS, Nigeria - A crane hoisted the tail section of a commercial jet from the smoldering debris of a shattered neighborhood Monday in a search for the dead from a crash that killed all 153 people aboard and an unknown number on the ground.
Apartment buildings, small businesses, and roadside shops were smashed to bricks and rubble Sunday when the Dana Air MD-83 plowed into the area about 5 miles short of Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos.
Is that what we are going to be told?
Some US citizens were aboard the flight, State Department spokesman Mark Toner said, but he could not provide a firm number. Others killed in the crash included at least four Chinese citizens, two Lebanese citizens, and one French citizen, officials said.
President Goodluck Jonathan wept Monday as he visited the Iju-Ishaga neighborhood, where emergency workers labored. A backhoe clawed at the debris looking for the dead.
Jonathan pledged to make air travel safer, but the crash called into question the government’s ability to protect its citizens and enforce regulations in a nation with a history of aviation disasters....
Aren't they the ones that also let the underwear patsy pass through?
Lagos state, home to 17.5 million people, has grown rapidly in recent years and soon will be home to the most populous city in all of Africa. Massive migration and urban sprawl have brought residential neighborhoods to the boundaries of the airport....

"Newspaper’s offices attacked in Nigeria" April 27, 2012|By Bashir Adigun and Jon Gambrell
ABUJA, Nigeria - A suicide bomber and a man armed with explosives attacked two newspaper offices on Thursday, killing seven people and wounding at least 26.
The radical Islamic sect Boko Haram said it coordinated the attacks on Nigeria’s major daily newspaper ThisDay in the capital, Abuja, and an office building it shares with two other newspapers in the city of Kaduna. It threatened to target other journalists in the future....
In a statement published Thursday night by the Premium Times website, a spokesman for Boko Haram said it would attack media again over what the group sees as inaccurate coverage.
I'd rather just call them out on it, thanks.
The sect is blamed for killing more than 440 people this year alone in its growing fight against Nigeria’s weak central government, according to an Associated Press count.
“This is a war between us and the government of Nigeria,’’ the website quoted a sect spokesman. “Unfortunately the media have not been objective and fair in their report of the ongoing war. They chose to take side.’’
No, they NEVER ARE!!!

"16 killed in Nigeria university attack" Associated Press, April 30, 2012
KANO, Nigeria - Gunmen attacked church services on a university campus Sunday in northern Nigeria, using small explosives to draw out then fire on panicking worshipers in an assault that killed at least 16 people, officials said.
The attackers targeted an old section of Bayero University’s campus where religious groups use a theater and other areas to hold worship services, Kano state police spokesman Ibrahim Idris said....
In a separate attack Sunday in Maiduguri in northern Nigeria, at least five people were killed when a gunman opened fire in a Church of Christ in Nigeria.
No group has claimed responsibility for either attack.
However, officials said the killings had the hallmarks of a radical
Islamist sect known as Boko Haram....
That's a HALLMARK of a WESTERN INTELLIGENCE AGENCY OPERATION, readers!!

"Suicide blast kills at least 10 in Nigeria" Associated Press, May 01, 2012
JALINGO, Nigeria - A motorcycle-riding suicide bomber drove into a convoy carrying a top police official in northeast Nigeria on Monday, detonating his explosives and killing at least 10 people, rescue officials said.
The attack targeted police Commissioner Mamman Sule who was being driven in a convoy near the governor’s office in Jalingo, the capital of Taraba state, said a police spokesman, Ibiang Mbaseki.
The bomber missed Sule, but the explosives caused massive damage at a roadside market and blew out the windows of the nearby Ministry of Finance building, witnesses said....
No group immediately claimed responsibility for the attack.
A-HA! ANOTHER HALLMARK of an intelligence agency false flag!
It comes after gunmen attacked Christian worship services Sunday at a university campus and a church in northern Nigeria, killing at least 21 people.
Did I mention I'm no longer buying the sectarian line of propaganda.
Cui bono when Christians and Muslims are at each others throats for no reason? What worldwide war agenda is advanced?
Sunday’s attacks mirrored others carried out by a radical Islamist sect known as Boko Haram.
When I see that terminology in the paper (or that like it) I instantly think intelligence agency operation.
Representatives of Boko Haram could not immediately be reached for comment.
Why didn't the media just go to the website (blog editor rolls his eyes towards the ceiling)?
Boko Haram is waging a battle with Nigeria’s central government, using suicide car bombs and assault rifles in attacks across the country’s predominantly Muslim north....
Uh-huh.

"Herdsmen attack village in Nigeria" May 02, 2012
JOS, Nigeria - Muslim herdsmen razed Christian villages early Tuesday along a central Nigerian plain where ethnic and religious violence remains rampant, killing at least six people and leaving others homeless, authorities said.
I'm getting tired of the narrative.
Meanwhile, Nigeria’s military said it carried out a raid on a suspected hideout for members of a radical Islamist sect who carried out an attack that killed at least 16 people on a university campus holding church services.
The village assaults occurred near the city of Jos, which has seen thousands killed in the last decade in riots and attacks between Christians and Muslims. The Fulani herdsmen set fire to homes and shot those who fled, witnesses and the police said....
On Tuesday, US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton issued a statement condemning recent bombings and shootings in Nigeria blamed on the sect.
“We are concerned about attacks on churches, news media, and government installations that increasingly target innocent civilians across Northern Nigeria,’’ Clinton said. “We condemn attempts by those in Nigeria who seek to inflame Christian-Muslim tensions, and support those who recognize Nigeria’s ethnic and religious diversity as one of the country’s greatest strengths.’’
That's darn near a confirmation, dear readers.
And really, WHO would want to DO such a thing?

"Vengeful gunmen kill 34 in Nigeria" May 04, 2012
POTISKUM, Nigeria - Robbers angered by a crowd burning one of their colleagues alive attacked a cattle market in northeast Nigeria, killing at least 34 people in the latest violence fanning across the region, witnesses and an official said Thursday.
The violence began Wednesday, as gunmen started shooting at the market in Potiskum. Three people were killed in the gunfire, which ended when the attackers ran out of ammunition, witnesses said.
All but one of the gunmen escaped. Those gathered in the market beat the remaining gunman before dousing him in gasoline and lighting him afire, a punishment still meted out by mobs in a nation where few trust the federal police force.
The gunmen returned, setting fire to cattle holding pens and cars. Potiskum General Hospital took in 34 bodies, an official there said.
