Obasanjo: “What I found out about Boko Haram”

Former president, Olusegun Obasanjo, has revealed new facts about Boko Haram, its founder and the insurgents. Obasanjo spoke to eNCA’s Raphael Ambasu in Kenya last week when he launched his memoir, My Watch. When asked why his efforts fell short despite being part of the negotiating team, Obasanjo said, ” I wasn’t negotiating on behalf of anybody. I decided to find out facts on my own. After the Boko Haram attacked the UN house in Abuja, I thought it was getting too far, I wanted to know if there is an organization, and if there is an organization, what is its objective? Are they organized? Do they have leaders? What are their grievances? Are they ready to talk and all that, which I took up on my own.

“I spoke to the president and said “look can I do this on my own?”, he said “look you can go and do it” and I thank him and I went. In fact he said he will give me a plane to go around. I said “look I don’t want a plane to go around because if I take a government plane to go around, I become a government agent and that would be suspect. No I don’t want the government to give it, so I did it on my own. The find, Yes, there is an organization, they have leaders, they have objectives, Sharia is their objective and Sharia law is not a problem, it is part of our constitution; they have grievances which nobody seems to be attending to, the development situation in their area.

“You see how they came about Boko Haram, that’s not the name they give themselves but their leader before he was killed in cold blood by the police. Mohammed Yusuf called in graduates that were with him and said “look bring your certificates, one who has first class, one who has second class, upper second class, lower and all that and one who has masters, so okay with your certificates can you use them to feed yourself? if you cannot use it to feed yourself, of what use is it?” So that’s where they got that appellation Boko Haram. Do they want to talk? At that time they wanted to talk, they even said they will talk not in Africa and I said to their proxy but look this is an African problem, it will be solved on African soil. Do they have leaders? yes they have leaders. So all things that I found out are reported faithfully to the authority.”

WombRaiders:
The Obama administration wants the rest of the world to believe that wide spread poverty and systematic corruption are behind the Boko Haram insurgency. This off course is all hog wash rubbish from that muslim apologist bastard in the white house who has come out severally in defense of Islam more so than Muslims themselves.

Obama seems more bothered in defending Islam than condemning the acts of Muslims these days and he has gone a step futher to blame the west for the actions of Islamic terrorists group on them. This is akin to blaming the victim and turning the villan to the victim.

The current US ambassador ( that CIA bastard) has come out to even blame Christian communities for instigating attacks by muslims on them! Can you beat that crap?

Off course we all know what this rubish by the Obama administration is all geared towards ensuring that their preferred candidate from the north emerges back into power. The power dynamics of this will see a halt in further Nigerian Russian ad Chinnese cooperation that America feels left out.

The topic of debate here is to see exactly what is fueling radical Islam in the north and specifically the main inspirations behind the original core founders of the boko haram group.
