Wsdm: Ok now. Today is your turn to rule and everything(most of you) are talking any how, i hope that when the power eventually goes to another zone you will be able to cope with what others shall say about you. This problem is happening in the North and the North is suggesting a way out and all you can say is NO.

franchizy:

I disagree wit u and GEJ dat Boko Haram are faceless or can't grant Amnesty to a Ghost. Remember President Goodluck to Nigerians in his media chat and also at an interview wit CNN dat he knows who d Boko Haram sects are. He said they are in his cabinet, they are in the Police, Army, Navy Etc.
Now if the president could say dis recently, how can he come up again to say dat Boko Haram are faceless or a Ghost. I think Nigerians should hold GEJ responsible 4 d insecurity since he does not want to tell us d identities of d Boko Haram he told us dat he knows.
On the Amnesty, I think d Federal Govt should first declare d Amnesty for d sect members and assure dem of there security, whereby they refuse to accept, d FG can now use the Force to flush dem.

Pizzanatty: Ds guy is SICK...for sayn dt northern youth took 2 boko haram wen dey felt being cheated and thereby calling 4 amnesty,just like d Niger Deltans Youth...

Cheated by not allowing dem 2 eat water melon(kankana), Tomatoe,pepper dt dey produce?

No Amnesty for killers..

clue: Amnesty for trying to turn everyone into their brand of islam? For slaughtering innocents? Blowing up churches? Killing whole families? WHAT
Anyone likening boko haram to niger delta militants needs to tell me what similarities is there.

Andyforte: Only a fool would agree that boko haram shared the same ideology or vision MEND. While MEND was protested the degradation and negligence of their land, boko haram, like the fools they will always be we're trying to Islamize Nigeria, ... While they were killing innocent Christians and stealing from banks. Pls u guys should just shut up.

Costa2000: They should be paid for killing innocent christians,they have to come out like mend did so that we will see there faces.

gerald09: I disagree, comparing d Niger delta militant to Boko Haram is jt silly. The militant were fight for the good of its people, their land, waters are being polluted by dis oil companies, its jt common sense to give dem amnesty. But boko haram are fighting for there own selfish reasons, 2day dey demand Nigeria to be an islamic state, then dey want jonna to resign, again the don't want christens in dere states nw its about foreigners. GEJ is 100% correct hw do u give amnesty to people who donno what they want or who dey are, its jt orange and apples.
I will keep saying dis, for Nigerians not to allow the north rule is not tribalism, its jt common sense, until they come down dere high horses. If GEJ give amnesty to bunch of clueless, illiterates dat really don't understand what dey fighting for dat defeats the change he (GEJ) is trying to show Nigeria.

aminho: I agree with u. Junaid!!!ask Mi abaga he will tell you ”dialogue is thee best answer not violence”

Euroclydon: Second Republic lawmaker, Dr. Junaid Mohammed, has berated President Goodluck Jonathan for denying Boko Haram amnesty because the sect is faceless. He said the President was being economical with the truth.

Speaking to our correspondent on the telephone on Friday, Mohammed, the Convener, Concerned Northern Politicians, Academics, Professionals and Businessmen, accused the Federal Government of milking the country dry in the name of addressing the security challenge.

He said members of the sect took up arms, just like the Niger Delta militants, when they felt cheated by the government. He said the government was however being partial by denying the militants amnesty.

Mohammed said, “President Jonathan is being economical with the truth. In other words, he is lying. What he said about the sect (of being faceless) only showed his frame of mind. He is applying double standards.

“His people took up arms in the Niger Delta because they felt they should partake from the oil revenue being generated from their land. They did same things as Boko Haram and were later granted amnesty.

“The government has been negotiating with the sect in bad faith. Its officials, legislators and the Joint Task Force are making hundreds of millions of dollars in the insecurity. It has now become a money-making venture for them.”

Also, the apex North body, Arewa Consultative Forum, said negotiation should precede an amnesty for the sect. It explained that the call for amnesty by the Sultan was to allow the leaders of the sect show their face.

The body however expressed its concern about the security of representatives of the sect, should there be a dialogue with the Federal Government.

National Publicity Secretary of the ACF, Anthony Sani, in an online interview with our correspondent, advised the government to persuade leaders of a faction of the sect willing to dialogue with it to choose a country that had good diplomatic relationship with Nigeria to play some mediatory roles.

He said, “I cannot say which of the parties (Federal Government and Boko Haram) is sincere or insincere, precisely because the sect hankering for dialogue is only a faction of Boko Haram. Also, you cannot fault Mr. President when he insisted that the government would not negotiate with a faceless group.

“Yet it is unrealistic to expect leaders of the sect to show their faces for dialogue without any assurance for their safety.”

When asked if the sect deserved amnesty considering the injustice it would be on the part of victims, he stated, “When I was young, I once read a saying that ‘If you killed one man, you would be charged for murder; if you killed 10 people, you would be taken to hospital to test for insanity; but if you killed 1,000 people, you would be invited for peace talks in Geneva.’

“As for me, I want the amnesty to be the outcome of negotiation that can take place outside the Nigerian shore.”

The youth arm of the body, Arewa Youth Consultative Forum, however said while the President could not be blamed for calling Boko Haram faceless, his earlier utterances had showed otherwise.

National President of the group, Yerima Shettimah, said, “His previous statements, like when he said Boko Haram had infiltrated his government, are a clear indication that the country is now bigger than the President and his government is no more in charge of the situation it usually claim.”

Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Muhammad Abubakar III, had on Tuesday asked Jonathan to grant members of the militant group “total amnesty” for the sake of peace in the country.

The leader of the Muslim community in Nigeria also blamed the security challenges confronting the country on injustice “meted out to the people.”

But Jonathan had, during his visit to Damaturu, Yobe State, on Thursday said he would not grant amnesty to members of the sect because they were faceless.

Symphony007: What bloody amnesty? Did boko haram give amnesty to the hundreds they have killed it? Did they give their farmilies and friends amnesty from the intense pain they felt and still fell? There shall be be no such amnesty! This murderers will get what they deserve and anyways for the fact they have started killing foreigners, drones will soon start raining on them so even if the nigerian government gives them amnesty, nato won't give them amnesty from drones.

Demdem:

Tompolo, Ateke, boyloaf and their fellow killers never showed their faces in aso rock until the govt then promised them amnesty. That was where our problem started. Boko don't deserve amnesty but since it has been done before, why shouldn't it be repeated again.

Symphony007: The niger delta militants and boko haram are different! The niger delta militants had a reason for what they did, they saw an injustice where their people were being explioted without any reward so they took up arms to defend their people. They did'nt purposely kill their people, they kidnapped for ransome and did'nt murder foreigners, that's why the west never saw them as an urgent threat.

Boko haram on the other hand are just stack murderers killing people in mass, raiding churches to kill worshippers for no reason and murdering foreign citizens.there shall be no amnesty for them and even if the nigerian government gives them western powers will still crush them for murdering thir citizens.

gerald09:

Dat statement on CNN, he point was that boko haram is faceless dey have occupied d every part of Nigeria Ministries, govt offices and presidency, he was tryin to say that the north has bin fuelling and funding boko haram cos dey want to take power by force. But nw the hunter is nw d hunted and they are askin for amnesty so dey can cover dere shame. Lemme ask if GEJ shuld give them boko haram amnesty what about its other branches like JAMB will dey have amnesty too? Boko haram was a strategy to pull GEJ down nw its fighting its own people, what goes around comes bk around

Bobandgreat: [color=#006600][/color]

Mr. Musa, ur elders have spoken without integrity. Other people's elders have advised that we kill off these Boko Haram killers and their sympathisers. Do a logical consideration and realise that they have no reasonable demands. Threats wont work, reason will.

Demdem:

But the killers in mend were given. Left to me, all (mend&boko) should be killed.

omenka:

A topic like this is clearly beyound your scope of reasoning. A fool is assumed to be very wise until he speaks.
