Former PDP chairman OP !
.. Back to the topic; don't tell me he is the new Boko Haram Spokesman.
**modified**
The aforementioned comments was made before the mod modified the topic "May 2012"

Billyonaire:
The Article is dated May 16, 2012, why dig old news out just to discredit Tukur, Boko Haram as at 2012 was fighting for justice, a revenge for their execution of Yusuf, now its a terrorist organization.

The dynamics have changed between then and now.

To be honest, i think he has a point there. I have stayed in the north for a while and the level of poverty there is alarming. Wealth is concentrated in the hands of a few individual, while the vast majority live in nearly sub human conditions. They can hardly afford to eat once a day, talk less of three times a day. And worst of all, is the fact that most of them have little or no hope of improving their conditions as there is little or no employment opportunities.
If a young man in such a condition is promised riches and an opportunity to improve on his impoverished status, on the condition that he wields arms against the government that has done nothing for him, he may find it hard to refuse.
First militancy came, now insurgency. After insurgency, who knows what will come next. The root cause of these menaces can be traced to poverty. Until poverty is tackled and reduced to the barest minimum, it will be difficult for Nigeria to have a peaceful existence. As the popular cliche goes, a hungry man is an angry man.
I rest my case.

Tukur is no longer the PDP chairman. @ OP: kindly correct that.

Iamsynord:
APC Sharia agenda PDP Boko haram agenda * Confused *

juman:
The useless corrupt bad leaders are the terrorists.

Boko haram guys are fighting against oppression. But their killing of innocent poor people is awful and sinful.

I DONOT BLAME THE MAN BECAUSE OF AGE, HE IS OVER 80YRS , AND YOU KNOW OLD MEN LIKE THAT USE TO THINK LIKE THE CHILDREN OF THREE YRS BELOW.

... So they are fighting opperession with oppression. So their reaction to smaller oppression is to create d bigger one. The North can do better if their ellders can resolve increasing hatred and oppression they are using their youths to put in place in their lands. It is so worrisome to hear their elders say ... Boko haram guys are freedom fighters... Both Buhari and el Rufai have stated this at different occassions. Now Bamanga Turkur has repeated the same. Northern youths should hold their elders responsible for mental imprisioment which they keep defefending wt terrorism.
