And the families that lost their loved ones,lost chickens. No compensation,abi

I still doubt it if this group wanting to dialogue is the main BH group because why wud they abardon their members/leaders in prisons and only be calling for d release of only woman / children detained. Hope they are not out only to make money ( 48 million naira )

Kill people and be compensated.....nah wao for this country oh.

Honestly, this group is not up for peace, what I suspect is, they have ran out of ammunitions and weapon, so they ave decided to systematically demand for a compensation for a ceasfire, and I want to tell you that onece they are compensated with our money, they will go ahead and arm themselves more and continnue to terrorise the whole country!!! This is a mumu government now!....run by the world most retarded Doctor's degree holder. My take on this is that:
1. They should show their face, and their sponsors, and an Amnesty programme should be developed for them.
2. Rather than compensating them with millions of naira, they should use that money to develop the north economically.
3. This is a tactics used by rebels and terrorists group in differenet part of the world like farc rebels in colombia, taliban in afghanistan, ets. Government should not give in to this one o.
4 and finally, the hunt and kill for them should continue, they are running out of personnel and ammunition thereby using this to equip themselves the more. This is a war that Nigeria is winning, but with time.
That is my 2cents o, anywayz I'm not in the Nortg sha.

U guys that re oppose to ds move re enemy of progress,am nt a northerner though,bt i ve bn living in kd 4 d past 4yrs. Guys pls u need to undstnd d plight of d people in north,continuing d fight against boko wl lead to mre bloodshed.

If ds wl stp dem 4rm d killings going on,they shud be compensatd nd peace wl return,jst dat am doubtn the identity of ds group, the only thing to be concernd abt is last sentence of ds news, i sense anoda group emergn apart 4rm d boko guys.

So in other words Jonadaft is saying," Thank you for blowing thousands of Nigerians into smitherings and making me look like the helpless fool that I am. Here's N42million and a handshake for a job welldone." A true retardeen indeed.

Mehn Sme rubish pple jt de bomb 9ja and naw de Wan Settle!! LWKMD FUNNY O

Naija Wonderland. Arrest people that were doing peaceful demonstration for their freedom and charge them for treason and compensate beasts that have murdered thousands. Naija una too much.

Leobreezy: So in other words Jonadaft is saying," Thank you for blowing thousands of Nigerians into smitherings and making me look like the helpless fool that I am. Here's N42million and a handshake for a job welldone." A true retardeen indeed.

the money would be used in procuring more ak47 and bombs.smh for Nigeria.

United States of America's presidents would always saay, "American can never negotiate with any terrorist on the surface of the earth, instead we code-name an operation of demolition and dedicate its course to your destruction" God bless America

All of you saying "it is a good thing, let them settle so we can have peace", have you gone back to check on what happened to MEND? Shall I tell you?
They sent them to Lagos and other places for re-training, to uni in Benin (where they started fighting students) to Lagos (where they wasted our govt money doing training at places like Nipost!). The MEND boys would call and complain about their allowances not being paid. Some went back and trained the kidnappers you have now, for a fee (I'm not making this up). Ask anyone in Delta and Anambra, it's a no-go area, they kidnap people from church and school even, and for the price of a month's supply of recharge cards. So pls what peace was achieved??

You don't negotiate with terrorists, because you should NEVER reward bad behaviour, you give them jail sentences and repatriate them in prison as they serve their time. But this in Naija, the crooks earn more money and honest work will never pay you.

And how much will be paid to the 'innocent' victims of this useless sect? Next to be compensated would be the South-East kidnappers. Nonsense.

Madawaki01: Why didn't u pple want d govt to compensate them,so u want them to continue their bombings,abeg pay them jare kiakia,at least we have the money,settle them b4 they reach here(SOUTH)jare

do u knw wat u r...a waste of sperm and a disgrace to the west

Aringarosa: All we have to do is Carry arms and maim innocent citizens. The government would pay us to stop. After all they have been known to do this in the past.

where you sleeping when jonathan have that cowardly rebel leader, ojukwu, a state burial.

If they do that then every Niger Delta person should be compensated.. or else their will be war in this nation.

what is wrong with releasing innocent children and women being detained for no reason?what is wrong with paying compensation for killing a nigerian citizen unjustly? What is wrong in exploring non-violent avenue to end a crisis? We say jesus and prophet muhammad preached peace but come to nairaland to condemn peace initiatives and extol violence. For those extolling more violence may God cure their insanity and guide them to the path of peace.

Oya boko haram is becoming lucrative and may be recruiting anytime soon. Meanwhile oga jona 2million is too small oo compared to what you people paid mend.

This is lame. The FG wld be indirectly sponsorin dese heretics to acquire more weapon.

Lies all! Compensate ko circumsize ni! Bullshit!

I have a feeling the compensation will soon be the turn of Biafra to be compensated after the Niger Delta Militants and now Boko Haram! cheesy cheesy Na wah o.

[size=38pt]tomorrow another group will emerge and finally seek compensation..
nawa oo[/size]

Nigeria to me is a failed state. Hence am not surprised by the action of the Federal Government in this issue. It goes about to show the directionless directionlessness of the Government and such move is nothing short of one amongst the indices of a failed state.

the point is that those in govt, with GEJ as the head, are now ready to put an end to what they started. it's as simple as that.

they started it, and now they are about stoping it.

the stratgey is; let's start boko haram, and when it's time for us to stop it, we will just announce compensation and amnesty to our boys.

i may be wrong

When u give a mouse a cookie, it will request for a glass of milk.

[quote author=ebamma]
nothing suprises me in this country anymore,maybe small time them go follow dey compensate kidnappers and armed robbers

Its easy to sit at the comfort of your homes and criticize.
The president is only concerned with peaceful resolution of the crisis. They have employed the use of force, although it seems to be working but it won't eradicate it and even if it does, it won't be in the near future.

Compa what!

To hell with 9ja government.

Which country has done that before?

na wa oh, this is absolute rubbish. Nigeria government should wakeup from their slumber.

I call this negotiation with the devil.how dare to you make a resolution with the devil and you think thats the end.a sick nation is a dying nation.our leaders are really sick.

Pay them and by next year, a new terror squad will be out.

Ken_Jak: It's really stupid and ridiculous compensating and thanking these foolish illiterates that think they fight for their so called Allah for bringing tears to the eyes of Nigerian people. Jonathan is really a shame and disgrace to the nation. Buhari and others behind this will die miserably soon. God won't deal gently with them.

maybe you've forgotten, bt lemme remind u that the god overseing affairs in the Nigerian space is not in the least interested in this. that's why omisore, farouk, uba,emeka and the rest are still having a field day. I'm hoping Nigerians can take matterz in their hands. We nid a revolution.!
