Nigeria confirms informal Boko Haram talks The Nigerian government says it has started informal talks with Boko Haram to try to end deadly attacks by the militant Islamist group. A presidential spokesman said of the dialogue was through "backroom channels", without elaborating further. The group's main faction earlier this week ruled out peace talks. Boko Haram, which wants to create an Islamic state, is accused of killing hundreds of people and targeting churches and other targets. "The form of the dialogue is that backroom channels are being used to reach across with the sole objective of understanding what exactly the grievances of these persons are, what exactly can be done to resolve the crises," presidential spokesman Reuben Abati said. He said this was being done "in the overall best interest of ensuring peace and stability in Nigeria and the security of life and property". The spokesman added that the talks were going on with at least some members. Boko Haram is known to have several factions. This is the first official government confirmation of dialogue with the militant group, the BBC's Nigeria correspondent Tomi Oladipo reports. An earlier attempt at peace talks collapsed very quickly. The group has so far made no public comments over the latest revelation of the ongoing attempts towards negotiations, our correspondent says. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-19388695#sa-ns_mchannel=rss&ns_source=PublicRSS20-sa |

IS it only in Naija you get hugely paid for being a BIG Criminal (not the small ones wey dey thief maggi ooo), Terrorist, Murderer, an Assassin? The Naija government will even make you live large for killing little innocent children, defenseless mothers/widows, youth corpers that spent years studying, only to be sent where they will be killed like Christmas goat. See now, very soon these murderers will start be living larger. I stand to be corrected shaa. I am just saying in Naija, it happens more often than in any other country. 1 Like |

Bobbysworld28: Nigeria confirms informal Boko Haram talks For the upteenth time, this is what they say they want. So what is there to dialogue about? Who is kidding who in this whole episode of Boko haram? Why is the Government always claiming ignorance as to what the BH boys want? It's Shariah in all its ramifications or NOTHING! The Boko boys are going for broke. And like their father the devil, they give no quarter and take no quarter. Government should stop wasting time and face the real issues of governance. Boko haram is NOT one of those issues. |

The penalty for murder is death. How come these people have killed hundreds of people and theyr been dialogued with later now they'll start paying them billions. What a country only in a corrupt nation like Nigeria can this happen, what a dumb leader. He doesn't know the pain of those who have lost dear ones. This is a new level low for Gej 1 Like |

I still have my reservations over negotiating with terrorists but if that is what is required to end this menace, then no problem. Perhaps, we call it the carrot and stick approach. Give carrot to those willing to repent and flog with stick those who are bent on perpetuating this evil. |
