How can a right thinking person say this kind of thing,so BH were right on shedding innocent blood for their plight.it's unfortunate we are in a country like this,obasanjo should have justify his claim or rot in jail tricky stinking old fool
asadike: With due respect sir,I have some questions for u. I heard the insurgency actually started during your tenure sir or even as an elderly statesman, kindly tell us how u nipped it in d bud that got it escalated to this level? Secondly,how did you know that boko haram have legitimate grievances,are u one of the sponsors sir? Finally, if boko haram have legitimate grievances, what do we call that of their victims and every nigerian whose life have been adversely affected by d menace caused by the ins urgency?
Mr. don't toll on that part, be vast in happenings before concluding, boko haram started in 2009 during Yaradua's time and it was then their leader was arrested and later got killed by NPF.
Zane2point4: pls this is a very rhetoric utterances that can even ginger some gullible fellows who might think they have been since marginalized to pick up arms, if we should buy OBJ staments then biafra, opc, niger delta militants etc should pick up arms?
bros,we are thinkin d same tin.do u see d sweepin &whip-up statement he made.It's very clear dis man has expired!Marginalised:if dey feel so,they shud ask their preponderant people in govt 4 ages...
Cut the man some slack joor, bokoharam didn't really start during his tenure, the whole scenario started during yaradua but not that worse, jonathan administration is just too weak to handle bokoharam.
eh, actually, boko haram started becoming radical in their ideologies in obj's tenure eventhough Yusuf had been teaching islamic knowledge to a group of children and youth before then. Maybe you should check the records again. Security reports about the potential dangers the group would pose was reported to the then governors Mala kachalla and Ali Modu sherrif in particular. But for selfish reasons, they ignored it. So don't blame Jonathan too much had it been handled earlier, it wouldn't have degenerated to the global menace that it is now.
But on a positive note, incase you haven't noticed, God has smiled on Nigeria and we are now winning the war against insurgents.

Don't mind him..he's also telling us that ISIS has a legitimate claim since BH is in cahoots with them. Isreal come and hear o!! An unfortunate old ex President of Nigeria is supporting ISIS/BH
Obasanjo says boko haram has legitmate reason to bomb school children, worshippers in the church, travellers in the park and so on. This is the kind of people foolish Nigerian youths are calling to come and govern them. Obasanjo is now telling us that boko haram have valid reasons to kill innocent school children because they boko haram members did not get enough education, meanwhile they are bent on destroying education. They did not see thier political leaders to vent their anger on but worshippers in the church.
This is the kind of thing you get when occultic men are celebrated in the society but my pity goes to the gullible youths who are not ready to take their destiny but calling the people who denied their people education to come and rule them.
This man is a useless man and a fool. He likes revealing his stupidity and foolishness in an international communities. This is the problem he started,help me ask the old fool whether we had better education,electricity,roads during his tenure. Was he not in his tenure that he sold NEPA,this man OBJ and his birdflu mouth.
One family man woke up one day only to discover some eggs laid by a "repty" at the back of his house,his neghbours advice him to destroy them,but refused wanted to know what type of repty.after some moths his wife was bitten by a snake,he raise alarm for help,somedays later his son was also bitten by another snake .his neighbour drew his attention to the eggs of repty! The eggs has been hatched to full grown poisonous Snake.Boko Haram is as a result of negligent of the northern elders, for how many decades has Northerner be in power,they enjoy afluence of 'ranka dede' of almajiri,like Obj has wrightly said they have legitimate greviances.that's why they concentrate their operation to only to the north,unfortunately lot of innocent suffer.,the bible said when sinners are been punished,the righteous have their own share,
Old man was it carrot and stick method you used when you sent military to udi to level every breathing thing? You killed harmless men, women and children without blinking an eye and here you are advocating for govt to romance with boko haram after taking thousands of innocent lives. You are becoming mentally derainged this days.
This chimp is grossly sickening. Only a country of predominantly fools like Nigeria will give a chimp like that audience for a second. He should be stoned wherever he is found.
merry02: 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
I had to login to "like and share your post" plus mention you too as reference.
@merry02 u've said it all, it she's u R politically aware. Havin said I am highly disgusted wit Obj. I Av always known him 2 be a 2-time slimly politician, but dis his comment is jst plain wicked & suspicious. He is gradually bein reduced 2 nutin wit his comments & if Gej wins he mite jst die of cardiac arrest. Note ow obj in his statement tried 2 blame d present govt 4 boko haram, justify deir killins @ d same time condemin deir activities. Dis is why I HATE politicians. Dey can't call a spade a spade. Ow many pole & service men Av we lost 2 bh? Nobody can giv an exact figure. Even d watered down rpt by media puts d deaths of civilians 2 about 5,000. Even obj almost lost his son 2 dis insurgents. But bcis of greed, selfishness, & malice he utters dis statement, wch is chorused by APC goons. 70% of d ngrn populatn lives below 4 dollars per day(talkless of nau dt dolls is on d rise exponentially) she 70% of us bcim terrorist will obj live 2 tell d tale? Ders no jstifiction 4 d killin of innocent pole, no matter d reason. Al religions condemn dis.

exactly obasanjo is such f.orkn shameless idiot. he creates de problem n fuc.kn blames others for ur mess ........stewpid man
First: “They (Boko Haram) have legitimate grievances,”
Then "The response of the government initially was definitely not enough. When Boko Haram started showing their fangs about four years ago, the reaction should have been firm and unmistakable,”
This should be warning to all!
Never join the "Progressives"!
Once you join them, your sense of reasoning is gone!
OBJ is either mentally sick or simply biter!
This s he senior pilot of the "Change" agents.
These are the people calling for "change".
God bless you. You actual made my day for speaking my mind. Don't mind the Zombi flowers of APC.
There is no enough reason that will justify the action of the BH. All up till now we all know that BH is against western education. OBJ if not checked, will cos more problems to this country then we have now. seems he is totally confused, as GEJ is disorganizing all his negative plans against his own country Nigeria.
