Why is every northern problem a national one?

Today Boko Haram wants to build a caliphate. Imagine if Igbos would have allowed Clifford Orji to create his own caliphate. Instead everyone stood against the evils committed by their people and solved their own problems. It's only in the north that the FEDERAL government will be blamed for and held responsible for every single problem. Illiteracy is a federal problem, children dropping out is a federal problem, violence is federal, even farming. The federal government is the one building farms in the north, not the locals. Which trade shop did the federal government build for Igbos, and what tailoring shop did it build your yorubas that every single business endeavor in the north is on the Fed's shoulder? Their religion is in the FEDERAL constitution, their pilgrimage discussed in FEDERAL Senate, When they command their children to go on the street and beg the FEDERAL government has to house, feed, school and shelter them. Upon all the children in the south that want to go to school and can't afford it in the north the FEDERAL government is paying kids that don't want to go to school to stay in school.

Remember every single southern family who pulled a child out of school, or sent their daughter to do house girl because they couldn't pay for the school they and their child desperately paid for and the amount of money we as a FEDERATION spend subsidizing Northerners to go to school, fail and drop out.

This isn't just and isn't right. Give me a single quote from a northerner offering a solution to kidnapping, or a quote from a single northerner trying to resolve ritualism in Oyo state that will justify they amount of southern energy, resources, time and intellect that has gone into fighting boko haram for them. When Ihejirika did his own they called him the enemy. Let him come to Abia and service his actual people who appreciate his talent. It's because the north wants to commit suicide that they rest of us need to start thinking of how to fit in a coffin?

The more reason Nigeria is a Federation

The more reason Nigeria is a Federation

exactly. Nigeria was designed for everyone to solve it's own problems so that we can be united in fighting external threats like attacks from other countries and trade policy. Suddenly we are using our resources to fight the problems of the north and only the north. Who told them to join Boko Haram? How told them to sponsor and fester the group. Which kidnapping agency has the sport from their own family members that Boko haram enjoys from strangers in the north. Tukur, El Rufai and Sanusi have all called them freedom fighters, and people fighting for justice. Let them be.
Let boko haram flourish in the north until the north wants it to stop. 50% of our army doesn't even want to fight them because it's their brother, meanwhile in the south it was it was father taking their kidnapping sons to prison.

Let everyone solve their own problem. From my village in Imo State i didn't drop 1 bead of sweat about OPC and from a village in Osun no sweat was dropped about Bakassi boys. They have their own Sharia law, take Boko haram to Sharia court and let the rest of us relax abeg.

not govt?

Don't forget Yar'adua's effort in the ND amnesty program.

Civilian JTF are trying and people are joining them by the day.

But people like you cant shut up and pretend as nothing is happening like this Government does.

PEOPLE like you can only see good in yourself when you compared yourself with BOKOHARAM.

The issue of boko haram is a national issue and problem ,because it is not only northerners who are been killed but southerners as well. Secondly the insecurity in the north will eventually have a negative effect on the south as time goes on . People must know the some agric produce can only be gotten from the north due to the climate there , secondly the image of nigeria is been dented by this boko haram menance and when the issue is raised internationally ,noone mentions norther nigeria but Nigeria. Nigerians must realize that this is a collecetive battle and challenge which must be tackled collectively by all nigerians .the nigerian army confronting boko haram isn't comprised of northerners alone but with nigerians from every tribe and religion

Please remind me again, the specific actions Yaradua took, during the Nigerdelta wahala.

BH is a Northern problem not a Nigerian one, let them figure out a way to save themselves...as long as this madness does not come anywhere close to the SE then I could give two fuxx what happens in some desert far North,isn't it funny that the Nigerian government always figures out a way to deal ruthlessly with insurgency situations in the South like the Niger delta militancy/odi massacre, Osisikankwu kidnapping menace and then Bakassi boys to a lesser extent in the SE,and OPC in the SW? then all of a sudden they turn into mummified p.u.s..s.i.e.s when BH began their real madness in the NE, even getting more brazen in their attacks by capturing territories and declaring them as caliphate,who is deceiving who? I bet if Bakassi started something like this in the SE,the government would have somehow found some way to crush it.

This sound to be true but emmmh, let me not say the North are parasitic virus.

Aliyu Gusau should be the face of Government in the fight against Boko Haram

Jonathan needs a defence minister he can trust!

the day BH starts an funny expansionist idea into the South is when Nigeria will cease to exist, and I'm sure even Shekau's despite his delusions and crack induced stupidity wouldn't contemplate such a move..no Northerner will remain alive in any part of the South and captured BH ragheads will be brutally executed with gruesome scenes been filmed for the world to see.

the issue of boko haram can be tackled in two ways ,and about 40minutes ago ,the problem of boko haram was discussed extensively on aljazeera tv. There is the political solution and the military one . Both solutions requires the fg commitment just like obj advocated but calling bh a northern problem is simply underestimating the seriousness of the problem. Ppl in south west nigeria claimed it was a northern issue but yet 2 suicide bomb attacks took place in lagos, just on sunday lokoja too was attacked . Do ppl in the south want to wait till ibadan or enugu is attacked before they look at this issue as a national problem ?

It has been a national problem from day one but has festered because the North is complicit!

If Boko haram was a rebel group without any tribal or religious alliances they would have been defeated ages ago.

maybe u don't realize ,that is what bh initially planned. They tried the religious angle by bombing churches but realized that christians are not ready for blood letting,then they tried the ethnic angle by killing ibos in the north ,still the ibos refuse to retaliate . It is to bh advantage if nigeria breaks because they will have a field day in the north.

^^^I don't know why some of you guys like comparing this boko madness to the Niger Delta militants agitation!.....They are dissimilar in all respects!

The Niger Delta agitation arose because of the injustice, pollution and daylight robbery the Nigerian state inflicted on the Niger Deltans! If not for them taking up arms and facing the wicked Nigerian state and oyel Oligarchs, the oppressors where prepared to carry on like there's no problem! Look what happened to poor Ken Saro Wiwa that thought it was a good idea to protest peacefully.....he had his neck stretched for his troubles?

Also, the resources the federal gov't used to address the issue was gotten mainly from the Niger Delta! So i don't see how you can compare it with the boko madness where trillions of naira has so far been spent to try and defeat these vermin!

The efforts of the civilian JTF are commendable, but what Ikengawo is saying is that they still expect the federal gov't to assist them, which wasn't the case when we had security challenges in the South!

there are still Igbos in the NE? granted Igbos have a penchant for going anywhere possible for business purposes,but common bro...there is no way any sane Igbo much less any Southerner will go to the NE,a region that is now the hotbed of terrorism and insurgency, I personally will like to see such a person.

I have come to realize that you seem unaware of the real issues going on in Nigeria or you do not have friends from different parts of Nigeria. I have a female friend from Chibok Borno State and I knew her long ago when boko haram was unheard of. She is a Christian and most of her village are Christians. Then she told me of how beautiful and large Maiduguri city was and all that and how they lived peacefully in diversity. She is married now and has been forced to relocate to Abuja because of the war in Borno. The truth is that FG neglected them for so long thinking it was a childs play or deliberately doing it for political reasons.

The people fighting Boko haram with knives and dane guns are the people of Borno and Northeast(both Christians and Muslims). They do not want boko haram but are often overpowered and live under boko haram rule in order to survive.

lol Yar Adua cared about the Niger Delta because of oil and the governments in ability to tax it's citizens like a civilized society. In a real federation all the states would collect tax and pay the center. In the Nigeria, due to mental laziness the center collects oil and pays the states. The end result is the mess we're in. This FAILURE of the federal system is the only reason Yar Adua cared

Did he and other northerners care when Ken Saro Wiwa was saying the same thing and allowing oil to flow freely? It wasn't until the same north killed him and the youth started shutting down production that it suddenly became a national issue because of the thieves that enjoy oil money.

Why didn't they extend amnesty to SE kidnappers? mchewww

Any nonsense they try on igbo soil they will meet an igbo solution. I can say the same for the SS, idk about the SW but I can assume so. If the north wants them to roam free that's fine with me but they know their boundaries. Did the Sokoto Caliphate venture into Igbo land? If not them why will Boko Haram Caliphate try the same thing?

Hmmm. Well, I hope so.

OPC and Bakassi boys were killing everyone too. Cultists in Rivers state have killed people from several other states.

But when a solution is sought after it will be Rivers that deals with them. How many complaints have you heard a man in Katsina dish about agberos in Lagos?

Everyone trying to pretend they care about the NE that isn't from the NE is lying and those people know the NE doesn't care about them.
Nigeria is a collection of nations into one state, not a single nation. a National hero like Awolowo, isn't a hero to Igbos. a National hero like Ojukwu isn't a hero to Fulani and so forth. Fulanis even believe the Saraduana who's primary contribution to Nigeria was post-poning independence is a 'founding father'. Maybe he founded them but he didn't do anything for anyone outside of his group.

Each region has victories and loses alone and we have to be honest about that if we want to move forward. What are northern leaders doing about the lack of multinational presence in the SE that SE leaders need to be running their gums about an excess of terrorists in the North? That's their own problem and doesn't concern anyone outside of that geographical area.


BH has killed Christians and ppl from other tribes, but killed all of them in the North. Those people went to another man's home and witnessed another man's issues. At the end of the day they're still another man's issues. How is boko haram effecting anyone's life outside of being something to read about on the politics section of Nairaland.com.


There's more Boko haram in Cameroon than Kogi state talkless of Cross Rivers. It's not a national issue because Nigeria isn't a nation it's a collection of nations. It's a regional issue and can only be met with a regional solution.
