Kano (Nigeria) (AFP) - Boko Haram carried out a fresh wave of massacres in northeastern Nigeria on Friday, locals said, killing nearly 200 people in 48 hours of violence President Muhammadu Buhari blasted as "inhuman and barbaric".

The militants have staged multiple attacks across restive Borno state since Wednesday, gunning down worshippers at evening Ramadan prayers, shooting women in their homes, and dragging men from their beds in the dead of night.

A young female suicide bomber also killed 12 worshippers when she blew herself up in a mosque in Borno. While there was no immediate claim of responsibility, Boko Haram has used both men and young women and girls as human bombs in the past.

And as night fell, Nigerian troops battled "hordes of Boko Haram gunmen" who seemed set on attacking the state capital Maiduguri, the birthplace of the extremist Islamist movement.

"President Muhammadu Buhari has condemned the latest wave of killings... describing them as most inhuman and barbaric," the presidency said in a statement.

The bloodshed is the worst since Buhari came to power in May, vowing to root out the insurgency that has claimed more than 15,000 lives.

    I don't make religious threads. I don't bring up religion at all. I only respond to attacks on my faith and answer religious questions. I know alot of theology from Christian,Islamic, jewish and Asian and African religions.

    But I am not a religious zealot, I am not here to spread the faith. I am not Douwant2go2heaven. I don't ask if you know him.

    America has nothing to do with the creation of boko haram. All these Islamic fundamentalist exist as a result of the collapse of the ottoman empire, Arab independence and the spread of a certain philosophy within Islam.

    These people practice a pure form of Islam.

    It's absolutely ? that these extremist types rationalize their mass slaughters of innocent people as deeds of 'cleansing' that are the good, just, & moral will of ? /nature.

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but why does it seem Boko Haram is only attacking citizens? If their ultimate objective is to create their version on an Islamic state, why are they not attacking the Nigerian government?

    They will not win that's why. Plus if you can change the public you can change the government. I don'the see why us as a people don't do the due diligence on Islam his with Africans. They have been doing this from the start

    It's bad



    I'm Nigerian and every real Nigerian ? knows the country as it's presently constituted is a failed state.



    The Northern part of the country is predominantly populated by Muslims (and they've ruled the country more since independence) while the South is populated by Christians. It only breeds trouble like in Sudan.. I've once been in the midst of the aftermath of an ethnic-religious massacre with bodies littered on the streets




    It goes back to the British Empire in the 20th century fixing up different nationalities as a "nation" and do your Googles on The Biafran War





    It's still home though
