In review of the new revelations from President Jonathan’s Boko Haram
negotiator, Dr. Stephen Davis of Australia, it will be useful we reconsider what
we know of Boko Haram, the northeastern terrorist organization.
There are or were two Boko Harams, I and II.
Boko Haram I: The Yusufiyyah Movement/“Nigerian Taliban”
Boko Haram I is better known as and self identifies as the Yusufiyyah
movement. These were the disciples of late Mohammed Yusuf, the
charismatic leader who promoted himself as a messiah and was expected to
reincarnate after he was killed. Boko Haram I was the creation of ex-Borno
Governor Ali Modu Sheriff. Though Mohammed Yusuf founded his movement
since the 90’s, it was Modu Sheriff who armed and utilized these boys as
political thugs; the well known Ecomog forces. After he no longer needed
them, he discarded the armed youth and Mohammed Yusuf took charge of
them.
In 2009, following an infraction with the law, then capable and efficient
President late Musa Yar’Adua with his no nonsense, no dancing and dining
with terrorists policy decimated Boko Haram I. Governor Modu Sheriff
cooperated and set-up his “friends” in Boko Haram I to be apprehended and
killed by the Nigerian army. Sect leader Mohammed Yusuf was killed at this
time when he “tried to escape.” For his cooperation against them, Modu
Sheriff earned the hate of several sect members.
Boko Haram I was basically dismantled. Nigeria witnessed absolute
peace in the northeast as Yar’Adua discussed with northerners and
planned strategies to prevent the return of these terrorists.
Muslim leaders in Borno and the north agreed to monitor Mosque sermons
and ensure that radicalism was no longer tolerated and taught anywhere in the
north. Late Yar’Adua had a very efficient long term plan and program,
including strictly security monitored “permits” for all public preachers, to
ensure Nigeria never again witnessed Maitatsine, Yusufiyyah radical type
crisis.
Quote: “Yar'Adua also informed reporters that security agencies had been
monitoring and tracking the activities of Yusuf and Boko Haram for several
years. He also revealed with some degree of detail that Yusuf and Boko Haram
have been "organizing, penetrating our society, procuring arms, and learning
how to make explosives and bombs," adding that "once the military operation
concludes in Maiduguri, there will be continuous security surveillance all over
the northern states to fish out remnants of the group who are to be dealt with
squarely and promptly."” [URL: https://www.wikileaks.org/plusd/

With the death/murder of President Yar’Adua, the program in the north was
dropped as Goodluck Ebele Jonathan assumed the top office.
The 2010 Abuja independence day bombing perpetrated by MEND Niger Delta
terrorists suddenly revealed a “great’ idea for the utility of terror for political
success. It is recalled that to the utter surprise of almost all Nigerians,
despite MEND claiming the bombing, the Nigerian acting President, Goodluck
Ebele Jonathan suddenly said it was not MEND, but rather some northern
opponents that were behind the bombing. This publicized falsehood
succeeded in creating ethno-religious divides and helped galvanize and
deliver non-Muslim support to Goodluck Jonathan and the PDP party.
All of a sudden it was clear that creating and sustaining a northern extremist
group that can be pinged on certain alleged northern opponents will continue
to divide the nation and maintain non-Muslim support for the President.
Enter Boko Haram II: The Ihejirika Assassins
Boko Haram II was formed in 2011. Enabled by a new lax security effort in the
north with the abandoning of late President Yar’Adua and his NSA Sarki
Mukhtar’s programs; some elements of the Yusufiyyah movement, aka, Boko
Haram I returned with the limited objective to avenge the death of their leader.
But suddenly another group evolved from nowhere in the same space that
stunned even Boko Haram I. This parallel group had radically different
principles and agenda that Boko Haram I simply could not understand.

Nigeria: Boko Haram Sect Splits
http://allafrica.com/stories/201107210066.html
Maiduguri - Confusion has crept into the camp of the Islamic sect, Boko
Haram which has unleashed a reign of terror in the northern part of the
country for several months as the sect has split into two factions. One
faction, the Yusufiyya Islamic Movement, YIM, has vowed to expose the other
faceless group, which it described as evil group.
The Yusufiyya group is made up of followers of slain leader of the Islamic
sect, Mallam Mohammed Yusuf.
This development came as President Goodluck Jonathan, yesterday, held talks
with elders from Borno State, over growing insecurity in the state, which is
believed to be the abode of the sect.
The Yusufiyya Islamic Movement, in a two-page statement contained in
leaflets yesterday, condemned the attacks and bombing of residences and
places of worship by the other sect that claimed to be fighting a Jihad in the
North. The leaflets were distributed on Tuesday to the various wards, Post
Office Area and media houses in Maiduguri, Borno state capital.
Confusion, misinterpretation
The leaflets read in part: "The Yusufiyya Movement has come to mean
different things to different people in the last few months. This confusion and
misinterpretation have made it necessary for us to come out publicly with the
clear truth regarding our concept, struggle, aim and ultimate objective, as our
declaration would guide in distinguishing the Yusufiyya movement from the
various labels ascribed to us, as the Boko Haram.
This is necessary in the light of genuine concern by individuals and groups to
the mass suffering of innocent citizens caught in the cross fire between our
members and the Nigerian troops. This concern has again brought to the fore,
the daunting issue of reconciliation, through dialogue, with the Nigerian
authorities and individual leaders involved in the naked abuse of our birthright
to the peaceful propagation and practice of our religion as we understand it."
The sect argued that it was in the process of exercising their right to
propagate their religion as they understood it, that their leader, Mohammed
Yusuf was killed as well as the destruction and confiscation of their landed
and moveable property in Maiduguri. Following their leader's murder, the
members therefore "resolved to wage a struggle between justice
and injustice, between truth and falsehood, right against wrong, in which the
sect was sure of victory."
The statement, however, noted that the public must know that the Yusufiyya
Islamic sect is far from the image of the heartless terrorists, arsonists or
sadistic robbers painted by other people with a distinct agenda, saying "it is
therefore unbecoming to attribute attacks on the civilian population or places
of worship to our group, the Yusufiyya Islamic Movement".
Referring to the factions in the Boko Haram sect, the statement further
explained that; "ours is a clear fight for the blood of our founder, Mohammed
Yusuf and other leaders who were slain in cold blood by former governor of
Borno State (names withheld), the former Borno state commissioner of police
and the late President", adding that the former president "has since been
seized by Allah in an answer to the sect's prayer for support against his
aggression".
"We therefore distance our group from all the bombings targeted at civilians
and other establishments and equally condemn them and pray that Allah
expose those who perpetrated them and attributed them to us."
Exonerating the Yusufiyya sect from other factions of Boko Haram sect, the
statement declared: "We are concerned that some people with evil motives
have infiltrated our genuine struggle with a false holy war that is outright un-
Islamic. We call on this evil group to desist, failing which we shall have no
option than to expose and hunt them.
"Finally, we have resolved to temporarily halt our fight against the
assassination of our leaders in compliance with the prohibition of fighting in
the holy month of Ramadan." *End Quote
Clearly Boko Haram II had been invented and was well supported, sponsored
and had only one agenda: to kill and destroy the north and displace all
inhabitants off the land. Boko Haram I was shocked by Boko Haram II; could
not understand who was behind them and where they came from and totally
rejected their ways as deviant, extreme, unIslamic and surprising. As read
above, Boko Haram I even promised to kill Boko Haram II. Boko Haram II was
a farce; it never really had anything to do with Islam but just adopted the
Boko Haram I platform to hide and perpetrate its ulterior agenda.
But as late General Andrew Azazi pointed out, Boko Haram II was superbly
funded and given sophistication and capacity. The leader of Boko Haram II
was the first “Abubakar Shekau.”
Abubakar Shekau I was employed by General Ihejirika and other agents, local
and likely foreign to perpetuate programs (a pogrom) to dismantle the north of
Nigeria while continuing to deliver the invaluable fragmenting political
dividend Goodluck Jonathan had enjoyed when he accused his opponents of
the 2010 Abuja independence day bombing.
Boko Haram I, the Yusufyyah movement faded while Boko Haram II, the
Ihejirika movement without any notable consistent agenda, flourished and
perpetrated mayhem on citizens of the north, Muslim and Christian alike.
At this point, we must realize that Boko Haram II have never suggested a
reasonable, possible and consistent agenda. They always ensure they ramble
nonsense and stay inconsistent. This is because they have no agenda other
than to destroy the north and inflame the polity. The latest “Caliphate” claim
was plagiarized from ISIS in Iraq last month, up until then, they made no such
claim.
They obviously knew they could never conquer Nigeria and Islamize the entire
nation; and they never set out to. They destroyed all local farmers and
sources of food for their own sustenance, which proved they had no long-term
territorial rulership agenda. No one kills and burns the homes of people they
wish to reign over an; and destroys and displaces the farmers who will feed
their “nation.” Boko Haram II simply set-out to kill all farmers especially (the
only/main resource of the north) from Borno to Benue. They attacked corn and
tomato farmers in Borno and rice farmers in Benue. They killed and destroyed
cattle rearers across the Middle Belt. Over five years of free operation under
the supervision of ex-Army Chief Ihejirika, Boko Haram II succeeded in killing
over 100,000 Nigerians residing in the north and displacing over 4 million
farmers; the third largest human displacement in recent global history.
Boko Haram II were armed by the Nigerian army under General Azubuike
Ihejirika. They obtained armored tanks, APC’s and weapons from the armory
which the Nigerian army ensured never to destroy, even though everyone in
Borno knew the Boko Haram camps where these weapons and vehicles were
and still are kept in plain sight. It can be recollected that when 234 girls/
Angels were abducted from Chibok and the Nigerian army claimed they did
not know where the girls were, it was our ENDS organization that revealed the
camps in Sambisa forest to the entire world, and made every one cognizant
with the fact that these camps were well known, had generators, fridges, TV’s
and the like and that the Nigerian army has been tolerating these camps and
the survival of Boko Haram II for the past five years of the Goodluck Jonathan
government. [Our article of 24th April, 2014: National Security Update: Details
Of The Sambisa Camps Holding Our 200 Abducted Daughters URL: http://
ends.ng/?p=848]
With the abduction of 234 Angels from Chibok, it is evident Boko Haram II has
outwitted itself. The prayers of the oppressed girls no doubt have begun to
unravel the sect in miraculous ways.

Azazi reincarnated or returned to have a second death .

Anyways,
you guys are struggling endlessly to link good-luck to boko haram simply because he is from the minority . All in a bid to ensure power returns to the north. it is more obvious in your recent attempt to link an Igbo man with boko haram simply because the president enjoys more support from the Igbos and had better result when that Igbo man was the COAS.


keep on keeping on , we are watching. but one thing i tell you and other herd is that, the west and America did not fear Putin when he entered Ukraine with his Army, they did not fear Gaddafi when he became a tyrant, they did not fear Abacha when he was alive, i wonder why they are afraid of Goodluck Jonathan so much so that they have not said a word over this allegation if it has any iota of truth.

They even ignored the accusation leveled against them by the same Davis on non sharing of Information with Nigerian Army

Note that they dont need to be in Nigeria to see things for themselves.

You dey write a whole textbook Oga?

Northerners and their desperation , this is simply igbo complex , if you can not beat an igbo then accuse him.

The same trick was used on Aguiyi ironsi with the accusation that the jan 1966 coup was planned by him and other igbos even when a TIV man and 2 yorubas were among the 5 majors .
Now the same tricksters are back to their trade of hypocrisy and betrayal by accusing an Ex COAS of wasting his hard earned money to sponsor a useless ragtag bunch of societal misfits whose only achievement is kidnapping under aged girls , abducting women and killing unarmed civilians.

The North is finished because their latest trick is known by everybody including the Niger Deltans they fooled in 1966 and the middle belters that they have been fooling and killing. Only the betraying yorubas will choose to listen and believe the Northern lies.

The North should realise that this 1966 foolery can not work in 2015 it is too outdated

Quite a revelation! The whole event and intrigue is suddenly begining to add up. It is evident from the article that the creation of boko haram was for political reason to destabilise the north, cause anarchy and completely render it handicapp socio -ecomically since the north appears as the most singular entity that has challenged the eligibility and emergence of Mr. President. That explain why the combatant soldiers give insight over the quality of sophisticated arms used by the insurgents against the crude arms given to them despite the huge budgetary allocation to that end. In another instance, the locals witnessed helicapta deliverying aids to the insurgents, a report corroberated by the Nigerian senate. Who could fly our air space without being detected if not gov't saboteurs. The insistence of Mr. President to label the north culpable of the UN building could as well be the genesis of the under lying plan hatch to out run the north in a bid to disconfiscate its political stability. Ihejirika, a southern became the best hand at that point to realise this agenda, an agenda to create and fund an arm group(with foreign commanders) to hold the north hostage with barrage of attack and maiming of its people.

Eye opener...
