Gamji007: The good for nothing CAN president is out of hibernation.
I missed his irresponsible comments.

Anything idea that will bring peace to the country is welcome.

I have said it several times, any iddiot that won't provide an alternative solution order than amnesty to boko haram crisis should shut the fvck up.

Oh pls. The solution to BH is state policing and true federalism, not Amnesty largesse. State Policing will immediately localize this problem and force the currently passive indigenes of the affected states to rise up from their slumber and confront their brothers to stop destroying their locality.
Only a dullard would think Islamists can be bought. That they easily kill themselves in suicide attacks shows it's not about material things - it's a religious thing.

The North rushed to implement Sharia to spite Obj at the time. Now it's come back to bite them. BH, seeking the islamisation of Nigeria is the next logical thing. Amnesty won't solve jack. Just waste of scarce resources.

don't mind the repentant pick pocket,called oritsejafor who was a beneficiary of amnesty in the past. the same man is the one that always move around with an anvalanch of security personnel. if he is c man of god, he should move around freely like the ordinary man, afterall, jesus never had an armed guard.

And wasn't Jesus killed? Ur point? You want him dead, don't you? CAN is useless, but the Orits dude is right. Those asking for amnesty for BH should have their heads examined.

Gamji007:

O.K grand pa! Can you please tell us the justice that was done to the victims of ND millitancy when amnesty was granted to the millitants?

Can you also please advice on a possible solution to boko haram crisis?

Stop talking nonsense...are you planing of living forever?
Abi no be your mates dey frontlines.its sad you can not see beyond your nose.

For those who are crying about the amnesty, clean your tears. Amnesty will never work for Boko Haram. They will surely disappoint the North.
Jonathan will come out of it stronger.

Do you know why?

The Jihardists thirst for innocent blood can never be quenched by the so called amnesty.

About 40million unemployed youths calmly watching for the outcome.
Will criminality and murder be glorified in Nigeria a fifth time?
So many gangs will choose the way of anarchy to seek relevance and riches from the weak state called Nigeria.

okosodo: Any beast that supports the nonsense they call amnesty should die

So okosodo, I believe that you are one among Boko haram because many criminals that were caught on the place of bombing were not muslims.Muslims and christians of north only suffer this criminality. Boko haram was created only for a purpose that only those who initiated it know the goal. Do you know what injustice is going on in the North.Muslims suffer much about this phenomenon which shows that this act is commited by inconcious guys like you who followed western wish to see Nigeria at the backwaed of nations. Many of bombings were done by non muslims. where is the invisible hand?

Oh pls, spare us the propaganda. Google videos of BH claiming responsibility for bombings and come back and truthfully say they are non-Muslims. Especially watch the Thisday Abuja bombing video. You'd rather ignore the clear statements made by BH on their agenda and believe what u want.

if boko haram escape their evil work on earth,they can't escape from God judgement.basterd people.

The Federal Govt has displayed the highest level of insensitivity , hypocrisy, inconsistency, and utmost injustice by the planned amnesty. When there are two evils, you go for the lesser of the evils. The evils in acheiving a temporary, picturesque peace by granting amnesty to BH is much more than facing the challenge head-long and uproot this scourge no matter the cost in terms of human,physical and monetary needs.

History has a way of repeating itself! And it's high time we profered an efficate solution to the rising state of militancy, agitation and terrorism in Nigeria by setting a firm precedence. The militants just killed 13 policemen! Hmn...Amnesty,true amnesty at work!

Amnesty to Boko Haram means the following-

(1) The FG has always known the BH,their sponsors and they have always used them until 'the going gets awry' and BH became an outcast.- an activitism turned terrorism!

(2) The FG is only paying lip service to security all this while to siphon the votes cos no sane president will go against the advise of the security chiefs on this. It's spiteful and morale-dampnening to the security forces. Galant men lost forever...just like that?

(3) The FG is giving its acceptance of the Islam as practiced by Boko Haram as being the image of Islam and that is injustice to Muslims(dead in the hands of BH and living) and Islam.

(4) The amnesty closes book on justice for those wrongly killed. That turns the FG to an unjust govt that will be hated by the generations of those who will wait without success to get justice but can only vent their anger in the future against Nig. Too bad for Nig to witness cycle of generational vengeance.

(5) The land has been desecrated! Soiled with the blood of the innocent and weak ones. God can only visit us more with His anger. Amnesty is not in the book of God; forgiveness bourne out of fairness and justice is.

(6) Lastly the AMNESTY will fail, the FG will be out of options and that is a justification for Internation forces who ve always shown vested interest in Nig to disintegrate us and ursurp our power.

Politics wise , I am not that insightful but these amongst others are sheer wisperings from my little heart. Just my opinions...

mekaboy:


Boko haram is religious and you don't know what people can do when u mess with their faith. When the christians are pushed to the wall, there will be no peace in nigeria.

Yeah, Emeka, just make sure you and your fellow Christians head up North and go fight your religious battles against your similarly crazed Muslims. Make una no miss road o.... u get it.... Christian East v Muslim North. Just try to keep it that way. Leave other sides out of it this time around. Thanks in advance.

gun men storm the church-service in maiduguri

With the majority of comments here supporting a deal for amnesty, it's quite obvious to see why Nigeria is in the state it is today. Questions like, 'If you are not for amnesty, propose a solution to the BH crisis' are plain silly. We have one of the worst intelligence agencies in the world so naturally, the solution is to give children and women murderers a pass instead of making anything work in this country. There is a reason the United States doesn't negotiate with terrorist. It's because once you bow to the demands of a terrorist group, what's to stop you from bowing to the demands of another when you've already set the precedent? In Nigeria, this question is even more pertinent. You have people who take up arms against the state being hugely rewarded. If a group springs up tomorrow and kills enough people simply because they don't lilke people who wear white, will people say, 'though it's unreasonable, it's the only solution so let's give them amnesty?'

UncleJJ: Most of the so called intelligent guys here a merely echoing words they heard others speak or read.

Can anyone of the anti-amnesty folk sit down and write a simple solution to the boko haram issue. As at now, our president has said the following ...

1. Boko haram is in the govt.
2. Boko haram are ghost.
3. Boko haram are not muslim's

And the following statements or action have been made :

Azazi - Boko haram is pdp

Recently Boko haram suspects where found in an alledged property of the Bayelsa state govt.

Gen Obasanjo has consistently advocated for the carrot and stick approach

GEJ wants to contest for second term and it is said that Boko haram rose up in opposition for the second-term run by the incumbent .

Over 2000 souls have been lost, eventhough ibo land consistently claims the attacks are against them. We all know, atleast those of us who have travelled around this country and have friends or business associate's in such area's can attest to the fact that more northerners (muslim and christian) have lost lives and properties in this senseless battle.

Also, the real boko haram died along with Mohammed Yusuf - we all know that. Several factions of Boko haram have come up with information or claims and counter claims - hence we are sure boko haram has species.


[size=18pt]Therefore:[/size]

Is it not logical that the president throws away ethnic bigotry and tribalism, including religionism (if there is such a word). A grab the bull by the horns, to find a lasting solution to this issue which has affected Nigeria as a nation and not as geo-political parts.

Amnesty is a means to an end and if it works, would the dead not also rejoice that their fellow loved ones lives will be saved and not join them in the eternal abyss.

Would the business man not rejoice that someday he may have the chance to return to his once flourish business that helped him build that gigantic mansion in his fathers land.

Children will return to school and the government will concentrate on other issue's which led to such insurgency.

Issue's like, poverty, education, security, infrastructure and implementation of programmes.

Nigeria we need to move forward. Oritsejafor has failed the credibility test several times and i suggest - he and sheik Gumi should be seriously cautioned for meddling on political affairs.

Atleast, i know religious clerics have no permission to join politics - they can offer prayers for peace and beg for ceasefire but to stand up and incite the populace is wrong and an abuse on the christian religion.

Why do we pretend not to know the prime target of the BOKO HARAN wickedness. How many mosques have bombed in all the attacks carried out so far? The prime targets are simply Christians and security personnel. Some of the Muslims fell victim accidentally. You cannot tell me that Muslims were killed inside the church buildings they bombed. But if the bomb is in a public place, anyone could fall victim. Why didn't they throw the last bomb in Kano at any Hausa's dominated trade center? The Muslims that fell victim during the last bombing at Sabo Gari bus park were probably those selling carrot or sugar cane at the park. Travelers in luxury bus park are usually predominantly Christians and more specifically Igbos. If you people push us to the wall, we will fight back.

It happened once when I was a student in ABU in the late 90's. It was as a result of a student union election. A committed Christian student won the election. The counting of the votes had not even ended before an information reached us that the Muslims are preparing their weapons inside their mosque to attack the Christians on Campus. They said, they will not allow a Christian to be student union leader. As soon as the information got to us, for the first time all the Christians said we are not running. Enough is enough. The fight started at about 10 pm till 6 am. At the end, the Christians had the upper hand. Ever since, the school has had relative peace for over two decades. Before then, there was no year the Muslims will not carry out one form of hostility or the other against Christians.

So, let's stop deceiving ourselves that there is no religious dimension to the issue. Do not mistake our quietness for weakness.

Someone is insisting we should offer solution. My suggestions are;

1. The Federal govt should request help from intelligence agencies from other countries like American to assist in dealing with BOKO HARAN. This is a long term solution but it will work out on the long run. Our security personnel are incapable of dealing with the issue.
2. The Nigerian custom should be overhauled. The arms used are passing through the borders unhindered. Either the present officers in charge are compromising or are not committed to their duty. They can only detect those carrying rice but will never see those carrying bombs. What about the 13 containers of arms that was reportedly seen at the Nigeria borders about 2 years ago just before this crises stared? The owners claimed it was meant for another country. Nothing was heard about those containers thereafter. May be that is what the BOKO HARAN are using. Our security personnel are very corrupt. If they are not, they would not have released those containers. I am convinced the containers belong to those sponsoring BOKO HARAN because it happened just before they stated their attacks. So the federal govt should overhaul the customs
3. Death penalty should be prescribed for anyone found guilty or aiding the group.
4. A state of emergency should be declared in the states most affected. Soldiers should be allowed to do a house to house search in those cities.
5. Worship centers should be allowed to recruit their own armed securities.
6. The police should be armed with more sophisticated weapons.
7. Those already arrested in connections with the group should be tortured until they reveal vital information about the group.
8. The last option if others fail is ask all Christians and southerners to relocate to the south after which we should raise the motion to separate from the North. If we all have one voice for this cause, it will succeed. Even the Bible says, Can two walk together, except they be agreed? (Amos 3:3). We may still have our own crises in the south, but it will be manageable.

Royalprestidge: solution to bokoharam menance can ne found if answer can be given to these question
1. who are the bokoharam? religious fanatic or political dictatorship?
2. what is it that they want in the first place? religious reward or freedom or political reward
3. Can amnesty be granted to unknown people or faceless people?
4. on what basis is the amnesty to bk based? politics, identification and readiness for dialogue or what

Here are some answers:

1. who are the bokoharam? religious fanatic or political dictatorship?

BH is clearly religious, seeking to Islamize Nigeria. That's their stated aim. The only political angle to it is that the North have largely refused to curtail their activities as the elites there see BH as a means to regain political relevance. It's why there's been no real opposition to BH there and the Northern politicians oppose State Police because they don't want to shoulder the responsibility of dealing with BH, when clearly they are the only ones who can.

2. what is it that they want in the first place? religious reward or freedom or political reward

Islamization of Nigeria, which is both a religious and political thing.

"We will consider negotiation only when we have brought the government to their knees," the spokesman, Abu Qaqa, said. "Once we see that things are being done according to the dictates of Allah, and our members are released [from prison], we will only put aside our arms – but we will not lay them down. You don't put down your arms in Islam, you only put them aside." - http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2012/jan/27/boko-haram-nigeria-sharia-law

3. Can amnesty be granted to unknown people or faceless people?

No. And amnesty won't work because of their demands. Only way amnesty might remotely work is if the Northern elites get a good political offer, then they'll attack and attempt to vanquish their BH brothers- something they should have done since if they valued human lives. The question here is whether GEJ and the rest of the country would yield to this blood blackmail, also whether the Northern elites are united enough to agree- answer to both today is NO.

4. on what basis is the amnesty to bk based? politics, identification and readiness for dialogue or what

And this is the key question. There's no real basis for amnesty. Unlike the ND militancy, where the request was for development of the ND, the BH request is not remotely sensible. It attacks the Constitution and the core of the basis for the Nigeria nation- freedom. What can gov't offer them - 'Lay your arms and we'll think about imposing national Sharia laws'?

The best the gov't can do is tell them to drop arms and those who have not committed murder/mass murder will be given soft landing- reduced sentence. The murderers should be hounded and taken out for good.

^^^^Anything that will bring peace to the country is welcome^^^^. Very naive, very very naive. You dine with the devil hoping to find peace, peace will elude you because the devil is trouble by nature and cannot give you peace.

Who are the boko haram members? Can you identify them? Who then collects this "amnesty" booty? I hate when people allow tribal sentiments influence their judgment because they fail to see the flaws in their argument thereby sound empty.

As we speak, they are yet to show face which should have been the first step of dialogue b4 the word AMNESTY. Northern leaders, including Turai, are asking for amnesty for the people they claim not to know.

Haba, ina ampani kariya? Kwo tsune zasu tsaya musu ne? Ina anayin haka? Wadansu kam sun harbe kainsu a kafa!!!! Waiyo, allah ya taimake su.

Would GEJ consider amnesty if he doesn't know them? Please use your brains and connect all the dots.

dbride:


Gamji007, you keep asking everybody to provide another solution outside amnesty. Now I ask you, did boko haram ask for amnesty? As far as we know, they are faceless. All we hear is your northern leaders asking for amnesty on behalf of boko haram. This is pure cowardise and deceit walking together!

Gamji007, unless you want to tell me that boko haram has KIDNAPPED NIGERIA and are now asking for ransom in the form of amnesty through their "non violent" but deceitful partners. Yeah, this is kidnapping on a higher dimension!!! Some of these northern leaders know these people and they are one with them! God is exposing them and they are hiding their shame behind AMNESTY. The picture is blurred now but will clear up with time. I am positive.

It so clear that many like you don't know what amnesty means. You all think amnesty is about fixing salaries for terrorist. I'm not a teacher, so I ll advice you go and look up the real meaning of amnesty.

jincheng101:
U hv rightly admitted that BH ar faceless, why then do u support amnesty for a faceless group? SMH

When I say many faces, I mean faceless abi?

Mtcheeew!

and you think with your foolish idea that granting amnesty would bring peace abi. these people are fighting jihad and you cannot bribe somebody to stop preaching his religion. this is the way of spreading Islam through violent, please keep your mouth shut if you dont know Islam. GEJ will end up financing jihad if he grant anything to these terrorists.

further more, let me ask you, what will happen to christians that their properties were burnt, churches destroyed and lives lost, what will GEJ going to do for them.

this amnesty thing is cracy, rewarding people that kills innocent victims for their so helpless god that need people to protect him

Gamji007:

It's the Northern elites - El Rufai, Emirs, Buhari, Turai, etc- that have been at the forefront peddling amnesty. By your logic, these ones know who BH top dogs are.

The problem is that the North has always gotten away with violence. To allow them not only get away with these most gruesome atrocities but also reward them will spell the end of Nigeria; they will come back with even worse violence. If amnesty be the only solution to the boko haram problem then let the bombs continue to go off. They and their sponsors must be fought even to the death.
