There was a time when it looked as though Boko Haram would eventually render the government of President Goodluck Jonathan impotent. Weekly bombings of churches, bombing of car parks, mass slaughter of men, women and children, of late,taking over of territories. Coupled with massive media propaganda,

Boko Haram sponsors had hoped that all these would eventually sweep the government of GEJ away-the kidnap of over 200 Chibok girls being the icing on the cake.

The Bring Back our Girls campaign was meant to evolve into a massive uprising like what we saw during the 2012 fuel subsidy protests, but this plot also failed woefully. #BBOG remains a social media toothless movement with less than a hundred Abuja protesters at any given day.

Few weeks ago, the Nigerian government unexpectedly turned the heat on Boko Haram killing thousands of their fighters and commanders.

Suddenly,Boko Haram no longer has the zeal to keep on fighting,many have surrendered. We now hear a ceasefire is in the offering. This is the same Boko Haram that rebuffed every past attempt by government to establish dialogue with the sect.

2015 Elections is barely 4 months away and though many opposition supporters will not admit this, President Goodluct Jonathan's popularity is still very high- he will win his re-election bid most likely with a landslide from Kafanchan down to Bonny Island.

Why? One may ask:

In spite of the 5-year Boko Haram insurgency:

-Nigeria became largest economy in Africa.
- Nigeria resumed assembly/manufacture of Vehicles after decades of decay.
- Nigeria became a net exporter of cement.
- Nigeria created the most vibrant Agricultural revival scheme in the history of Sub-saharan Africa.
- Nigeria built about 10 new federal universities.
- Nigeria built over a hundered modern Almajiri schools.
- Nigeria totally revamped her once abandoned railway system.
- Nigeria embarked on massive rehabilitation of all her airports with new terminals under construction in Lagos, Abuja, Kano and Enugu.

The list of achievements are endless.

A section of the core North may remain with the opposition and refuse to key into Nigeria's transformation. Hoping that someday a descendant of Othman Dan Fodio will emerge and restore "Northern domination" all over Nigeria.

Rather than wasting money sponsoring Boko Haram activities,these sponsors have realized that their plot of making Nigeria ungovernable has failed woefully and damaged their own region even more.

Now they've decided to divert their remaining resources into the political processes by supporting a Presidential candidate of their choice. Something they would have embarked on from the outset and saved Nigeria thousands of innocent lives and property.

OK

U spoke well dear all i know is there days are numbered by ebola virus,,,,,

bull shit! this is none sense. Boko Haram wanted to consume the north and it almost get to other part of the country and all the reason the writer can see is conspiracy theory of trying to deface the fool called GEJ. this is unacceptable. fools like the writer also argue that it's GEJ who is deliberately killing northerners. only a reasonable person can look at it holistically and make meaningful comment. I find the piece annoying
