all the people clamoring for the armnesty are supporters of APC, even though some were from PDP, they ran because Jonathan refused to let them have it as usual.

you see now that APC want to Islamise Nigeria because thats what boko haram also want. that's why they dared to present a Muslim Muslim ticket.

cramjones:
Some hard questions for the Jonathanians!

1. Who is to gain politically if the entire North-West is ravaged, and declared insecure for voting? Who really gains politically?

the northern Elites who always want to play the victim card or get violent when ignored

2. Why did the late Azazi claim that PDP was behind Boko Haram? And why did his Helicopter crash mysteriously?

[b]PDP split-ed months later with some notable members joining APC, the islamic party

3. Why is the President romancing Ali Madu Sherrif? Why has there been no formal investigation launched since the Australian who accused Ali Madu Sherrif of funding Boko Haram spoke out?

because his claims were baseless so much so that even the western interests ignored him

4. Despite the killings, bombing and kidnappings, why haven't the Federal Government done anything to Senator Ndume? Why is he still holding a position at the senate, despite the overwhelming evidence? If I may add, why is he being tried secretly?

the people of his constituency are in a better position to recall him to distance themselves from been seen as sympathetic to boko haram, the secret trial to to protect the identity of witness

5. Where is the John guy that DSS caught trying to blow up radio house 2 years ago. He said he worked for the DSS, why haven't we heard anythinng about him since then?

he is in detention, if you want info on him, apply to the DSS

6. Why is Orisejiafor involved arms smuggling?

he is not the one managing the aircraft even though he is the owner abi them go arrest landlord wen no dey live for same compound because say tenant keep gun for house

7. Why did the Federal Government debunk claims that girls were kidnapped?

because it is a sham till date or cant you see increased bombing since GEJ picked form for re-run, its all politics

8. Why is the United States not sharing intelligence with the Nigerian Government?

because they dont have any,na mouth them dey, they all became quiet when they got here to see that its politics at a different level

9. Why did Boko Haram try to kill General Mohammadu Buhari?

he was looking for public sympathy , he was so rejected he had to take bank loan to by form

10. Why did the Federal Government lie about negotiating the release of the girls with Boko Haram, when in actual fact, only today, Shekau stated clearly that the girls were married off and no talks went on?

the govt spoke with the group that presented itself for talks and will continue to do so till tangible result is achieved

11. Why Borno? Could their be any links to the rich uranium deposits and oil discovered in Borno? Could it be that there are covert foreigners involved without any control of the Federal Government? Could it be that they are using the violent political rift to perpetuate their own evil?

the northern elders should answer that, this kind of madness can not survive 1 year in another region, the youth would resist it with their last blood

12. Why has the Federal government failed to win the war against an ill-trained army of not more than 10,000, despite having an army, airforce and navy numbering over 100,000 with fighter jets and high grade military hardware?

because it is not a conventional war

13. Why are the army chiefs all fat? grin grin grin

somebody must not look malnourished to be seen as prudent, if you have a case against them , go to court, you are a Nigerian with rights


14. How did Ihejirika have accounts with ten of millions of dollars? What was his salary as a chief of army staff?

do you have any proof, abi na hear say you wan start ?,Army generals.cheifs world over are not paupers except you want to show me one

15. Why is Jonathan wanting to collect a $1billion loan when our defense spending during the period Boko Haram murdered the most hit $8billion?

do you know the parameters that resulted to the billions you quoted, the loan is not in form of cash advances

16. Why are APC members labelled as Boko Haram sponsors? We are the opposotion, wouldn't the government score a huge political point and turn the public and the world against us if they can provide some evidence to their claim?

they are called supporters also just like you are defending their actions and positions on this forum, you are also a supporter

17. Back to Ali Madou Sherrif, why did he move on to join the PDP? Is he trying to escape from something? Recall, we had a party meeting while he was still in our party, and Bola Tinubu told him speficially that we had all the evidence on him as one of the sponsors of Boko Haram.

if the main opposition party have such a proof and can not go to court to demand justice then it better not be in existence as an opposition party

18. Did $20 billion get missing? Would Sanusi Lamido Sanusi make such grave allegation against a whole president? If it did get missing? Where is money, who and who has spent it? That is a lot of money!

even sanusi has gone to beg twice for reconciliation while you and your likes are still here lamenting

19. Why has president Jonathan failed to fish out those he said where Boko Haram members in his government?

because they will serve as distractions to his transformation agenda

20. Finally, why the president's men pressure Henry Okah to blame the very first bombing in Nigeria in 2010 on Northern elites? Why did the President refute MEND's claim of bombing, whilst pressuring Henry Okah through Oroto Douglas (presidential aide) to deny the bombing and blame it on Northerners? [/b]

okah has been convicted in south africa or you want to also claim we manipulated their judicial system and the world kept quiet?

Fools, suck on that.
Goodnight.

And while I await your response to the above post, I wanna make a passionate appeal: whenever you want to talk about religion in the politics board especially as regards people wanting to islamise the country, keep me out of it. It disgusts me.

When jonathan jumps from one church to another, from one country to another, kneeling and genuflecting before some so called men of God, no one raises any eye brow. No one says he wants to christianise Nigeria. When Jonathan attended a meeting of OIC, no one said anything. When he renewed our membership of OIC, again, no one said anything!! Why then are you people making all these noise

I find this kind of politicking very irritating, and would really be grateful if you and your kind kept my name out of it.

Thank you.

Let them also add the following to the list:
Bishop Kukah
https://www.nairaland.com/1242228/bishop-kukah-calls-amnesty-boko

Rev Jesse Jackson

https://www.nairaland.com/1295717/jesse-jackson-backs-amnesty-boko-haram

Also the NEW York Times

Judging by the logic (of several silly posters) maybe Rev Kukah and Jesse Jackson are also members of APC and/or sponsors of Boko Haram.

Quite on the contrary, the benefit of hindsight is actually exonerating the proponents of amnesty; because as we are all witnessing now, brute force has done nothing to quell the uprising; rather Boko Haram seems to be getting stronger, conquering increasing Nigerian territories; while our soldiers are succumbing to cowardice.

Common sense would tell you that brute force had never worked against urban guerrilla tactics as being employed by Boko Haram as opposed to all out conventional war where the war front(s) are clearly defined and the enemy visible and distinguishable.
Instead, Boko Haram make lightening strikes, quickly withdraws and blends into the indigenous population; therefore making finding and fighting them very difficult for our soldiers.
The longer this war of attrition goes on the more it impacts negatively on morale, as we are witnessing now with many reports of our military turning yellow and running away - in the process abandoning precious
weaponry into enemy hands.

The best approach is to weaken the ranks of the enemy by giving those among them willing to give up their arms and struggle a way out, through the offer of amnesty.
Government can subsequently then concentrate its resources to fight the remaining die-hard ones, who by now must have been reduced in number and therefore with much better odds of defeating them.

Note: Amnesty does not equate to an automatic support for Boko Haram but it is an alternative solution to brute force - which has so far not proven effective; so please do not allow hate to cloud your reasoning - think before you type.

http://www.nigeria-law.org/ConstitutionOfTheFederalRepublicOfNigeria.htm#ShariaCourtOfAppealOfFCTAbuja

gists:


My brother, much as there is a lot of sense in your post, I still have a little reservation. For how long are we going to be pardoning criminals in this country? I am a Yoruba man, are you saying if tomorrow some deranged OPC members starts killing people in Ogun, Oyo and other SW states, then FG should also grant them amnesty? We should be very careful about the kind of precedence we set.

Why is Ndume being tried in secrete? Why did Sherif run back to PDP if not for protection from investigation. Gov. Amaechi said BH is shooting because someone is paying (for the firearms and logistics), why has there not been any high profile arrest. Why has there not been any arrest in CBN as Davis indicted a top CBN staff (even if it is Sanusi)? It is not rocket science, war is EXPENSIVE. So, just cutting the source of funds to a terrorist group, and in most cases such groups die a natural death over time. Why has there not been a high profile arrest - even if it means witch-hunting the opposition as long as gej security chieves are sure such persons are behind BH? Except you are telling me, there is no APC member funding BH.

So the only reason I can think of why some people are asking for amnesty is just because they know we have an inept government that cannot discharge its most basic function - security. Maybe there theory is: if you don't ask for amnesty, this carnage may probably continue and its the innocent ones that suffers. Imagine the situation of the parents of the Chibok girls.

Another question I have been asking and its good to know Cramejones has asked a similar question in his list of top 20 questions: 12. Why has the Federal government failed to win the war against an ill-trained army of not more than 10,000, despite having an army, airforce and navy numbering over 100,000 with fighter jets and high grade military hardware? Even when we have a south easterner as the COAS.

I am a Muslim, but there is no where in our religion where you are asked to marry girls off without their parents consent. There is no religion on this planet that I know of that asks you to kill innocent secondary school boys in there dormitories while sleeping. Shecow Shekau cannot stand in front of any muslim community and expect accolades.

This is why some of us will not ask for amnesty, but we ask for justice. Justice on those providing the funds - without which BH will be history. And also some form of economic empowerment. I am not talking about the type of celebrity status that the Niger Delta militants have been elevated to, but a general economic empowerment for the readily available recruits into BH foot soldiers. If a man knows he can make a decent living without comitting suicide by joining a war he is bound to lose, he certainly will think twice before enlisting to join BH.

dunkem21:


I want to point out a few lies about your questions as well as cramjones.

1. BH is not ill-trained. If they were, they wont be experts in handling APC's and other machineries at their disposal.
2. BH is far above 10,000 men. How many BH men do you think have been killed by our military men, JTF and the Cameroonian army?

gists:


I am willing to indulge you and assume my assesment of BH strength was wrong just for the sake of this debate. But are you telling me BH foot soldiers are more than Nigerian army? Are you saying they have more training and experience than NA? Is BH supposed capacity to handle APCs and other military hardwares enough justification of the failure of FG to crush this terrorist inspite of the fact that we far more military personnel and air fire-power (not BH does not have jets)?

The reason why innocent people keep jetting crewed is because people like you keep make silly excuses for this government that fails to protect its citizen. Just because of silly religious/ethnic sentiments. If we fail to talk and demand for gov to act now because we have a false sense of security as the crises seems to be concentrated in the north, it is only a matter of time before it spreads to other parts of the country (God forbid). This was how people in Niger Delta and South East felt unconcerned when Militants were kidnapping expatriates for ransom. Little did we know the white experts will soon leave and kidnapping profession still stay with us. There was a time when ordinary people (Nigerians) get kidnapped in Aba. Yes, it got that bad that kidnapping graduated from expatriates to the rich and then later to just anybody - Ordinary people kidnapped not because they are rich but because they were just in the wrong place at the wrong time. I have heard of people being kidnapped only to be released after payment of mere N50k.

If/when terrorist group find there way down south (in whatever name they choose), I hope this your silly excuse will suffice why the gov should be exonerated for not acting.
