    "Basking in their nefarious success in Jos on Christmas Eve, they have once again knifed at the heartstrings of a nation decked out in gaiety, celebrating New Year's Eve," said Goodluck Jonathan. But what will he do to root the jihadists out of Nigeria? In that he will get little or no cooperation from Muslims in Nigeria; if they behave like their coreligionists in the West, they will instead offer finger-pointing, claims of victim status, and largely spurious claims that they actually are cooperating with law enforcement.

    The most likely culprits are the Islamists, but Dutch Clog Cyborg jumped the gun as usual. There are at least two other groups in Nigeria that have used bombings in the past few years (the rebels in the oil delta for one), and a couple of other groups that currently have extremely contentious political situations which might inspire such a bombing (the Biafrans for one).

    What is it about Dutch Clog Cyborg and Islam? I swear he leaves a search engine running non-stop and immediately posts any news articles with the appropriate hot button words, regardless of accuracy or content. There are plenty of solid articles out there: why throw around the chaff?

    Am I missing something here? This event took place last year.

    It would have the same effect.

    Airlines gonna stop flyin' to Nigeria...
    :confusion:
    Airlines Pull Out of Nigeria as Its Economy Tanks
    June 03, 2016 — United Airlines flies daily between to Lagos — Nigeria's largest city — and the U.S. city of Houston, Texas. But not for much longer.
