Ms_Steph: Don't even knw y dis boko haram tin is an issue since dey r destroying only their states nd killing their brothers let them continue. As if they r d only ones wit a religion

Angelahoney: For those supporting amnesty for BH, read this:

  Contemplating granting amnesty to the people who have wrought wanton destruction of lives and properties in this Nation is a call to other interest groups to rise up in arms against their fatherland, in order to be blessed when such an action should be treated as treason! Till date the killing continues!  

[b]Intimidating the Federal Government to grant amnesty [/b]is the highest display of hypocrisy ...

Eze Promoe: STATISTICS HAS IT THAT;
1 Igbo life worth 20 Yoruba lives
1 Igbo life worth 100 Hausa lives
So i'm not angry at all at worth Ohaneze did because that is just the best medium for saving precious lives. If Boko Haram strikes, the loss of does whom their lives have much value will be felt by their brothers while those whom their lives are valueless will come out and pretend as if nothing happened.
All they'll say is "YOU BETTER KILL WHO EVER YOU WANT TO KILL IN YOUR LAND O. DON'T COME TO OUR LAND O, UNLESS WE'LL CALL OUR ANCESTORS FOR YOU." Words from old local village champions still living in the stone age.

pazienza: I see the way this script is going. First,boko haram was made to seem like they were only targeting and killing igbos,when we all know that all the north had suffered from their activities. Now,they expect ohanaeze to stand against boko amnesty.

Someone is really trying so hard to place ndiigbo against the north again,while they hurriedly ran and pitched their tenth with the north,like they did in the past.

I think ohanaeze read the script well. Kudos to them.

Now,they must find a way to get all igbos to leave the north. That should be their next task.

coogar:

islam preaches peace too - these cowards called boko haram are just smearing islam as a religion. many islamic scholars have condemned boko haram that what they do is totally against the tenets of islam. let's not make this is a religious crisis - this is about a bunch of semi-illiterate hoodlums killing innocent people to cop penile erectiöns.

KANO – The President- General Ohanaeze Ndi-Igbo World Wide, Chief Gary Nnachi, has enjoined the Federal Government to hasten the Amnesty program to members of the dreaded Boko Haram, so long that will guarantee peace across the federation.

The President General of the Ohanaeze Ndi-Igbo who was in Kano in company of top notch of Pan Igbo social group to build confidence among the Igbos in the north following the recent bombing Luxurious Bus Park, noted that “peace is the only thing that will guaranteed development and wellbeing of the Nigerian citizenry and federal government should be in the vanguard of ensuring such peace, therefore the government should do whatever it takes including giving amnesty to the Boko Haram members if they will lay down their Arms and leave peacefully with everybody’.

The Ohaneze boss stressed that “Nigeria is a country for everybody, be it Igbo, Yoruba, Hausa or any other Tribe, we don’t have any other place than this our beloved nation and its time we stop deceiving ourselves and leave peacefully with one another, and the freedom of movement, right to leave and ownership should also be guaranteed’.

Chief Gary Nnachi said that “Nigeria is at cross road, and there has never been a time when the country need everybody to fully participate than now in the development and peaceful coexistence of the nation, as such government should use the opportunity to make sure that such chances are not been neglected”.

The President General, accompanied by the Chairman South East Council of Traditional rulers, HRM Eze C. I Ilomuanyi, Senator Hope Uzodima, Chairman Abia Council of Ndi Eze, Eze JA Akilaro, assured that, “as leaders we will do all we could to make sure that Nigeria leave in peace, and we shall continue to protect other ethnic nationalities leaving in the East”.

On his remarks while at government house, Governor Rabiu Musa Kwankawso noted that the last month attacked on the Luxurious Bus Park was nothing but a war without border because it affected almost all Nigerians who are doing business or travelling on that day.

The governor who spoke through the Commissioner of State Affairs, Comrade Aminu Abdusalam, stated that what happened at the Park was most regrettable and condemnable, adding that the attacked simply taught Nigerians to be vigilant in their dealings.

Kwankwaso noted that “the right of living and worship should be ensured and assured to everybody regardless of what he worship or how he wishes to live, so long he has not contravened the laws of the land”, adding that “Kano has been so generous in living with their fellow countrymen, something that has vindicated the fact that the last month attacked was carried out by some miscreants who never wish the state well”.

He said the central message of the government and people of Kano is that “everybody should live in peace and love, with a lot of affections and care, this will inculcate into Nigerians that they are brothers who should help one another in his/her cause.

alj harem:

But it is what I observed that I am saying

Igbo presidency is dear to Ohaneze (they have the right to do so) and to be president, you need the north as well not just the South. Unless of course my observation is wrong.

You see, Ohaneze does not want to the north to think what's stopping the amnesty are the Igbo leaders. It's call "playing it safe". Good political calculation by Ohaneze.

mbhs139:

You fool! So, in your mind of minds, you are still thinking that BH is about religion? Can't you read in-between the lines? Are you so daft that you can't put one and two together to really fathom what exactly is going on?! So, in your dream, you still consider BH to be a religious fight? How wrong and weak minded you are. Please, tell yourself the truth, which is, ask GEJ: what has Nigerians do to you that you want to kill us all under the guise of BH?

alj harem: A more practical solution to Boko haram is first of all address the issue of amnesty to any stu.pid lazy militants

Secondly, arrest likes of dokubo and co and serve their term with hard labour or be killed off for killing millions

Thirdly Alams should not be pardon

Fourthly, this 13 % crap should stop

Then their would be peace

Balkan: I am really yet to phantom why this Yoruba people are making every Nigeria belief that BOKO HARAM is targeted against the Igbos and not Nigeria. It's very funny that Igbos are falling to that propaganda. The truth has been that Igbos have condemned this sect more than any tribe in Nigeria. Majority of the victim of this BH menes are the Hausas and the Nigeria forces. They have target churches and business areas very obviously constitute other tribes, including the Yorubas.

Yorubas feel less concern while their brothers and sisters are dieing every day. So funny a tribe they are beating the drum of war for Igbos and the Hausas while the stay at the side line. Bokoharam would have hit Lagos if not for the timely intervention of COAS. well, Igbos have lost property and lives just like other tribes. I would have been worried if this bombing and killings were happening in the east by BH, which is impossible for them to think of I would have been worried for Ohaneze.

I am fully in support of the move, Tinubu started the crusade lets Ohaneze shout the same for it is very strategic. The I dear of making the war of BH look like IGBO WAR it's a Yoruba agenda.
We need to think.

hardbody: I cover my head in shame for my people. Must they always do this to us? What has been said does not in any way represent the aspirations of the young Igbo. They are indeed speaking for themselves.

POLICE CAP:

There is a reason for everything.... Wisdom at work.(Its a case of using your enemies strength to defeat him)

Amnesty for boko haram was accepted by the government. And for the igbos to play along is like laying ambush.

[b]In the future, the igbos can just display some mumble jumble and demand for amnesty.... And you know what refusal by the government would mean. [/b]

Okija_juju: when I said Ohaneze, MASSOB and Uwazuruike have all lost their relevance, some die hard fanatical Ndi Igbos called me names..

This was what I was talking about..

Support amnesty for killers?! Why!? So that they can remain in Ugwu Hausa to keep doing business abi?!

Utter rubbish...

Katsumoto:

You just proved my point that BH is merely a political ploy by Northern elders to wrestle power from GEJ. So the foot soldiers get their pardon and the Northern elders get Aso Rock.

Nigeria really is a sick place.

If you refer to people planting bombs as victims what do you call those who lost lives and limbs? This desire to have power at all cost is affecting your ability to reason.

BTW, JTF isn't doing sh.it in my name; I don't recall stating I was a stakeholder.

seanet01: Is it a custom for you igbos to stand logic on its head?

Dudu_Negro: i thought igbo people said unlike yoruba leaders, their leaders will never support amnesty for bokoharam?

what changed bunch of sacrificial COWARDS!
