Kids are too many on front pages these days with immature comments.Some will just pick the headline without digesting the content.

Gen. Obasanjo has not justified the killings by boko haram nor did he condemn the military actions on the sect.

He stated that the carrot stick approach will bring a lasting solution and prevent pyrrhic victory.

Dear kids above, read the sentence below 10 times for effective comprehension and modify your comments.



Thank you.
you are right
However,saying boko haram has legitimate grievances speaks poorly of him
what legitimate grievances?
What marginalization?
They have been called for many peace negotiations which they either boycotted or ridiculed...with no results
They even said they were the ones to grant amnesty to the government,not the other way round
These are simply bloody terrorists ...mindless,godless,bloodthirsty savages who twist religion to satisfy their blood lust
The group that had legitimate grievances was the Niger-delta militants,who could be reasoned with...leading to great results.

I guess Obj thinks that ISIS has legitimate grievances...the same grievances that boko haram is now sharing with them

l rest my case.

Bokoharam has been in existence even before democracy but when was mohammed yussuf get killed ?
Mohammed Yusuf got killed after his boys had started attacking police, military and civilian structures. Don't try to paint the story like he was an innocent law-abiding citizen. He was a full-fledged terrorist.

Amen oh. May the blood of the innocents spilled by BH cry out for vengeance, fight and stand against BH, sympathisers of BH, sponsors of BH, Buhari and Obj for their support for and ca louse political statements. Amen.

Occultic Men? undecided

Obasanjo said Boko Haram had legitimate grievances whether rightly or wrongly perceived by them. He never said Boko Haram was right to attack innocent people for those grievances..

Let me give you an example: SampleGirl picks up a Knief and goes around puncturing the tires of all Cars with Government plate numbers and even burning them because she was injured during the last Immigrations exercise and never compensated.

Does SampleGirl have Legitimate grievances? YES.
Does Samplegirl's Legitimate grieviance make her actions justifiable? NO.

Example 2: A robber says he robs people because of the state of the nation. No food, no jobs, rising cost of living, bad governance and the need to provide for his family.

Does the Robber have legitimate Grieviances? YES
Does that mean the robber isn't guilty or that his grieviances justify his stealing? NO..



So my dear all Obasanjo is saying is that whilst we are busy dropping tons of Bombs in the North, we shouldn't ignore whatever the underlying grieviances that led us into this mess in the first place.


So there you have it..

Dont thank me, Thank my Verbal Reasoning Teacher in Primary 3.



But I am afraid to inform you that your points are shallow and devoid of intelligence. I can see you are having problems with the word LEGITMATE or you are intentionally playing dirty politics with truth which is dangerous.

Boko haram told us their intention is to islamize certain parts of the country and destroy everything western. They never told us they are agitating for more infrastructure.

Please spare me this your useless theory!

Please before making argument of this nature, try and do some research. As far back as 2002 BH was already in existent albeit in a low key manner. As of 2007, this group have started making their presence known.
Please Google is your friend, unless you don't want to know which is fact or mere rumors.

OBJ is noting bt a traitor
When boko haram emerged as a rag tag Small sect in 2002, OBJ's administration out of negligence allowed them to gain some ground in maiduguri at that time and the then governor, Ali modu Sheriff used them to hound his political enemies. After the elections, he had no use of them anymore and as a result, they started becoming ultra radical and recruiting docile youths (almajiri) for institutionalization of sharia law. OBJ's administration saw all this but turned a blind eye since he allowed the sharia law to thrive in their lands, they did not have much altercation. But the sect continued to expand between Yobe, maiduguri, Bauchi,Zamfara and Adamawa.

By the end of OBJ's tenure, seeing that they may soon become a huge threat to the country's security and peace, President Yar adua's government decided to clamp down hard on them killing over 800 and arresting their leader, Yusuf Mohammed who was later killed extra judicially in Police custody.

The followers went underground for a while to recieve trainning abroad like OBJ said while some trainned with Al Qaeda in the maghreb(AQIM) here in africa. Until they came back in 2011 not only to revenge but start what is now a global jihad in the country and they have morphed into a highly trainned and organized group ever since. The fall of Libya's strong man, Gaddaffi led to a take over of Libya's military armoury by jihadists fighting in the country and subsequent distribution to affiliate groups all over Africa. Boko haram duely got theirs which empowered them to face our under equipped military and the resultant declaration of a caliphate but for resilience of men of the military they have been unable to establish a state. The painful thing is sheer waste of lives as well as destruction of private and public properties.

OBJ governmental incompetence in the area of security lead to the epidemic of oil bunkering/oil theft ,gun running ,hostage taking/ransom fee ,during this epoch our national earning in terms of sale of crude to the international market dropped ,OPEC quota became a mirage for the OBJ government and nigeria oil sale proceed drops to its all time low,during this period OBJ was also clueless to arrest the situations,someone should also call baba attention to the high level incompetence of it's administration so as to set the records, more also to do a comparative analysis of government to government and security peer review ,infact it can be said that OBJ government opens up what can be refers to as a new chapter in oil bunkering or should I call it cowboy oil theft,yes under it's watch GUNRUNING became the order of the day. brother and sisters friends and foes, during this epoch baba also watch and allow hostage taking to become a norm and legitimate bussiness dealing and up-till today this norm has now spread like a ravaging cancer to all the nooks and cranny of the nigerian state thanks to baba sit- down look policy....someone must also remember to inform baba that under it's watch,militants chased away multi-national corporations and staffs. when baba was unable to defend the expatriate they all decided to flee and abandon there businesses in this region due to the high-level of insecurity..militants were very very proactive and coordinated in pipe line bombing which eventually depicted the nigeria and global oil projection...at this junction I will urge OBJ to concentrate more energy and strategies on how he can secure APC presidential ticket in proxy for kwankwaso because the scheming is already on and he should stop playing GOD On GEJ .he should emulate the virtues of an elder statesman e.g kenneth kaunda MADIBA

"a problem of disparity and marginalization" quote where he addressed how the Boko harams where marginalized or obj simply do not know the meaning of the word? Or you yourself don't own a dictionary anymore?

With the agitations of the Boko Haram how have they been marginalized? Do you mean Jonathan would have embraced their desires or want to islamise the northern region free from western education? Why would anyone be forced to practice a religion? Is it not against fundamental human rights? This is not Iran, this is Nigeria
I will appreciate it if you stick to the issue here. Does he (OBJ) need to state categorically how the north has been maginalized before you believe they have been?. You talk about me not owning a dictionary. I believe you have one or better still Google will help thee .now check for the meaning of maginalization and disparity and wait,u might also using same google and apply it to the northern Nigeria.
My dear you can't solve a problem without first tackling the root cause of that problem. The north have been marginalized over the years. Why do u have high rate of poverty and health related issues in that region more than the rest.
No one said Jonathan should embrace their requests. But him paying a little more attention would have changed a lot.

First you made it appear that Obasanjo justified Boko Harams action or that he said they had "Legitimate" reasons to kill people which he didn't.. Now you are trying to isolate the word "Legitimate" like that would make any difference.. grin

I would ask if you even saw the word "Percieved" in his comment, but that would be beneath your intelligence to even bother with. grin



Please forgive me for even trying to set you straight, I thought I was having a "Legitimate" conversation.. grin grin grin

My dear, left for me I would say the northeners marginalised themselves. When people from other regions were busy empowering themselves with education, they were busy filing into the NA as recruits thinking Nigeria would still be ruled by military forever.
Do you know that Northerners are allowed into their universities with a 'D' result in maths and english in their waec certificates. All these just to encourage them to go to school and then you come out saying the north has been marginalized. To me, that's bullshit!

OBJ's carrot and stick is exemplified in his handling of the Tiv and Odi affairs, when some soldiers were killed; he sent in the military to shell villages and kill old, young, female and anything that moved.
It is again demonstrated in his handling of Niger Delta militants.
With due respect, I must say this man is the most evil and selfish leader Nigeria ever produced.
We look forward to his obituary.
