In the AriseTv interview of August 28th, 2014, Dr. Stephen Davis a chief Boko Haram negotiator hired by the President of Nigeria, Goodluck Ebele Jonathan to engage the terrorists to help free the abducted Chibok 234 Angels, made several important revelations. [Listen to Davis audio/video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o2QnEiE9CH8]

Dr. Davis clearly stated that the former governor of Borno state, Ali Modu Sheriff has been sponsoring the terrorist group for so many years and it defeats the imagination why the Goodluck administration has refused to arrest him; and why even the EFCC has not gone after him for his immeasurable corruption.

Jonathan’s chief negotiator, Dr. Davis further revealed that the former Chief of Army staff, General Ihejirika was also a clear-cut sponsor of the terrorist group.

A third important point the President’s negotiator posited was that there was no way the terror in Nigeria could be ended if the sponsors remained free. In essence, as the President of Nigeria continued to dine and dance with these known people including other politicians, mostly from the north, Boko Haram will clearly continue to kill and destroy Nigerians in the north.

On January 15th of this year I penned a strong and unapologetic, widely read article pressing or rather begging for the President of Nigeria to arrest Ali Modu Sheriff, SAS. [Arrest Senator Ali Modu Sheriff aka SAS Now: http://ends.ng/?p=460] In the article, on behalf of Nigeria, I begged the President to arrest this known Boko Haram founder. Rather than arrest him, Nigeria’s president pulled him closer like a sibling and gave him unprecedented access to further terrorize the people of Borno and Nigeria at large. The President of Nigeria opened the Borno airport, closed for Borno citizens and for Hajj operations; for Ali Modu Sheriff to land in Borno in grand style. Note- Goodluck Jonathan in August of 2012 defended Boko Haram as “his siblings” and stated that them being his family, was why he refused Nigerians demands for him to send the army to crush them. In response, the Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN told him to resign, [See: http://ends.ng/?p=1322]

Borno youth Civilian JTF who I represent have pursued sponsors of Boko Haram like Modu Sheriff, attempting to burn their houses; but the Nigerian President has protected them when they run to him in Abuja, unable to remain in Borno. This has been sheer terror to our people.

As President Jonathan’s chief negotiator, Dr Stephen Davis said, unless the President of Nigeria arrests these sponsors, terror will continue. In effect, by leaving the sponsors free to continue to perpetrate their terror, Nigeria’s President is himself directly implicated in sponsoring Boko Haram and should be arrested and tried for our deaths.

As relates to retired Chief of Army Staff, General Ihejirika who Jonathan’s negotiator, Stephen Davis also clearly implicated as a Boko Haram sponsor; I am not privy to the information Davis has. Stephen Davis said that several Boko Haram commanders implicated these men as their sponsors and as the ones who ordered targeted assassinations of Nigerians.

Importantly, there is no single Nigerian who can deny the role of the Nigerian military Chiefs since Ihejirika’s time of directly and indirectly promoting Boko Haram terror. We have had too many reports to ignore of the army conveniently being ordered to pullout hours or days before Boko Haram terror attacks. Too many! The liability for these treacherous crimes of the army rests on the COAS’s feet.

On May 8th of 2013, when we could no longer take it as Boko Haram gained control of over 20 Local Governments in Borno and the COAS Ihejirika did nothing, I was invited to join an international think-tank and we released a very important article in Nigeria’s history. “Nigeria At War,” [http://newsrescue.com/nigeria-at-war/#axzz3Bk6TvnE0]In the article we described how the Nigerian army under Ihejirika and ultimately President Jonathan, the C-in-C was deliberately sabotaging the war against Boko Haram and we prescribed the need for urgent steps including the declaration of a State of Emergency and the immediate drafting of battalions to the north. It can be recalled that after this article went viral on the media, Nigeria’s President cut his trip to Namibia and ran to Nigeria and days later, finally declared a State of Emergency in the northeast and sent Brigades up north.

Boko Harm today is armed with ammunition from the Nigerian military stock, they freely drive APC’s and tanks from the Nigerian military; it goes without saying that the past and current Generals and Chiefs of the army are benefitting largely from Boko Haram carnage and undermine the arming of Nigeria’s soldiers allowing them to be sitting ducks for Boko Haram terrorists to prolong the war and the genocide in Nigeria’s north. The army is responsible for protecting the vehicles and ammunition they took up north. Rather they allow Boko Haram to seize these easily and never bomb them from the sky when they drive in convoys in Nigeria’s military vehicles.

General Ihejirika’s was known to have discretely pulled together a powerful army who were not even told their mission, and rapidly sent them to ambush and capture and kill kidnappers who were destroying his home state of Abia, but when his duty was to protect the people of Borno and the northeast, he suddenly became handicapped… the General was reported by so many military soldiers including top army commanders who complained bitterly that the COAS only gave the soldiers one or two rounds of ammunition and opposed the drafting of the military when they requested and argued for more troops. These moves allowed Boko Haram to easily kill Nigeria’s soldiers and overrun the military barracks, obtaining all the weapons and tools in store.

It is important to remind Nigeria that Stephen Davis, in the past has fingered former NSA, Spy Aliyu Gusau in the success of Boko Haram. [See news September 11, 2011: http://www.pmnewsnigeria.com/2011/09/14/why-the-terrorists-are-winning-in-nigeria/] Surprisingly, President Jonathan hired the very Gusau as Nigeria’s minister of defense, bringing him too close as his “sibling.”

Nigerians wait to see what the action of Nigeria’s weak, clueless and terror facilitator President will do in response to the revelations of this negotiator employed by his government. It is also time international parties assist Nigerians trapped under this terror regime.

Thank God the negotiator was hired by the Federal Government, if not, they would have claimed it is a sponsored opposition article. From the above revelations, the FG has a lot to answer for. Because the.audacity, way and manner this Boko Haram boys carry out their evil act without any hindrance from the FG calls for concerns and suspicion.

you all should go and die,if you people cannot repent from causing confusion in the country .

So the Igbos have hands in Boko Haram? Wonderful. So why are they crying fowl?

Let me repeat this one more time: "It will remain a miracle if Jonathan does not end up in prison after office. If not for the killings, then for the massive looting"

This is really an eye opener.
Watching how it plays out in few days time.

story 4 d gods

ihejirika is no longer coas bt BH has gained more areas

what of those who claim ihejirika should b tried 4 genocide 4 his high handedness against BH?

I find it funny that with even damming details coming a man hired and paid by the PDP to negotiate their interest, all the PDP warlords on Nairaland are avoiding this topic like a plague.

If it was an even a figment of someone's imagination just pointing otherwise, they will feast on it as if their breaths depends on it.

Let the north keep living in terror and while believing they are guinea pigs who are used by others to kill themselves!..so funny,when al qeada,ISSI and other terror groups bomb their people,they say its America's fault,so am not surprise!

this is a very serious thing oooo..........ali modu sherif's link to BH is understandable,but iheajerika's case is so wacky. Now,my question is;did stephen davis gave diz same report to GEJ? Can we believe BH saying all these? Isnt it a ploy to divert our attention? Is it a ploy to further dampened d morale of fighting soldiers?

Every Nigerian needs to watch this video.

Divert attention like how? People in power like the Army chief may be motivated by monetary gain and not a a quest for North to wrestle power from Jonathan.

And so far we've not heard Buhari's name which which PDP as being shouting is the chief sponsor of Boko-Haram. of course, any sensible human being knows that this is a lie.

If the man had mentioned Buhari's name, we would have seen all PDP recruits on Nairaland rush to start commenting or opening threads on the matter. But since once again, the negotiator's revelation is linking Boko-Haram politicisation to PDP yet again, they are all quiet.

You have to feel sorry for the youths of our Nation if all they do is believe anything they read without questioning it.

I also blame Presidency for hiring this erratic white man who clearly has no understanding of the history of Nigeria as chief negotiator. This Australian has clearly failed in his task and has simply created an exit strategy for himself by making up stories!

Anybody who knows the history of Nigeria and the relationship between Igbos and the rest of Nigeria will just not come up with silly fantasies like these.

Boko Haram started long before Jonathan, long before Ihejirika too. Abu Shekau has clearly made a choice to be a terrorist before Ihejirika even knew he has a chance to be COAS!

Has this Australian negotiator considered that it is possible for shekau and his men to create a diversion by claiming ihejirika is their sponsor? Does this Australian negotiator really believe that the decision to pullout troops before Boko haram attacks directly comes from the COAS? Is the COAS really responsible for specific tactical decisions of every platoon?

How many times did ihejirika as Army Chief complain that the Army is full of Boko Haram loyalists and that tactical decisions are leaking too often to Boko Haram?

Truth is we all pray that the North come to the party and realise that Boko Haram serves no ones interest but the suggestion that somehow Boko haram is teleguided by an Igbo man is pure fantasy!

Simply not true! If it's true that Igbos are behind Boko haram it would have been defeated a long time ago because the North would have shown extra interest to help defeat it.

lanrefront1 ..............divertion by BH. Now everyone is talking about diz issue now. Even soldiers on d field will be down,saying their former CoAS is the sponsor of those dey are fighting. Imagine what dey will be thinking. But govt ought to av question ihejerika and sheriff by now!!!

Why did GEJ sack Ihejirika?

abes:

Why did GEJ sack Ihejirika?

Ihejirika's time in the army was long overdue

If anything he was retained longer than necessary to prepare Minimah for the job

Go check the facts! Ihejirika was not sacked.

The president can also reshuffle his service chiefs whenever he likes!

I pity the north a lot, while they point accusing fingers at Ihejirika, their sons and daughters are busy destroying their homeland. What a shame.

Logically it does not really make sense for an Igbo man to be a sponsor of Boko-Haram. He may actually not be a sponsor but maybe render them some kind of help or support for immense monetary gains. can't put anything past human greed. Nigerians have become so corrupt.

But you're right, it may also he misinformation on part of Boko-Haram. So much confusion. buy without a doubt, the accusation against Modus Sherrif is 100% true.

One thing that is also clear is that Buhari has nothing to do with Boko-Haram.

I

Let GEJ apologist come and defend this. Its obvious there is collaboration between the igbos and Goodluck Jonathan administration to carry out an evil agenda against Nigeria, no wonder the igbos has been at the fore-front of promoting GEJ till 2019.

And Jonathan started this evil agenda when?

Did you know that Boko haram was there before Jonathan became President?

the best way to provide answers to all these question is for the government to begin an investigations to this allegation.

mikeansy:

yea, but he came in and found boko haram as a viable tool to carry out his mission.

danot1030: the best way to provide answers to all these question is for the government to begin an investigations to this allegation.

The Govt should be busier than that

You guys need deliverance

Someone told you that he was hired by GEJ and you believed him without hearing from the president.

Do you think if the president hired him, he will allow him leak an info like this that is capable of plunging Nigeria into civil war.

Let him show us pictures he snapped with GEJ YAR ADUA and OBJ since he claimed he worked with them

Let him show us a video clip of his interraction with BH commanders.

You guys should refund back Awo the money he spent on your free education.

danot1030: yea, but he came in and found boko haram as a viable tool to carry out his mission.

And they go from using dane guns and machete to rocket launchers, RPG, APCs etc.

Once Abuja was bombed in 1st October 2010 and Henry Okah was pressured to implicate some people and he refused, I knew those behind it will not stop.

is there any concrete source that this Man actual worked for The Federal government?

Now u expect Nigerian youths to reason rationally but if this report has said that Buhari or IBB or even Amaechi was responsible i am so sure you would have believed it hook line and sinker.
Gen. Ihejirika should be questioned coz it was under his watch that close to N2.5 Trillion was "transformed" on defense and yet our soldiers run out of ammunition every now and then and are now forced to run into Cameroon for cover.

Mynd44, Obinoscopy and Mukina2, will this hit the front page like the other one on el rufai, at least we have a link now. Thanks.
