Buhari Indeed Used Boko Haram As A Ladder To The Presidency by OLADD: 3:26pm On Jul 11, 2015
Events pre and post 2015 elections are leaving so many puzzles which many Nigerians will continue to contend with at least in the foreseeable future. At the time Boko haram escapade was taking off with volatility, news filtered around that the sect had agreed to lay down their arms in return for negotiation with the then presidency under Jonathan. However, as a condition for negotiation, Boko haram specifically and unequivocally nominated Buhari as their sole representative and mouthpiece, an offer he bluntly rejected. The wanton destruction of lives and property witnessed after the collapse of that offer is yet to be accurately documented.
In a rather questionable manner, one of the cardinal points of campaign by Buhari in the rundown to the last presidential election was insecurity and the pledge to wipeout Boko haram and this throws up the following among many questions;
1. Did Buhari intentionally decline the offer to negotiate for Boko haram knowing fully well that the continued security breaches will further water down the image of Jonathan's govt while at the same time enhance his chance of using it as a campaign gimmick to win public sympathy?
2. Having now become the president, why is Buhari considering negotiating with a sect he declined to speak with as a private citizen? We should bear in mind that another ex-president, Olusegun Obasanjo volunteered to intervene in the crisis on his own volition. Do we know that the lives of Nigerians wasted at Nyanya, Emab Plaza, Jos terminus etc, would have been saved if Buhari had agreed to negotiate with Boko haram before he won the last election?
3. It was reported in the media penultimate week that this govt was muting the idea of "rehabilitating" Boko haram members who repent from their dastardly acts, is this another way of granting amnesty to the sect, a proposition Buhari had brought to the table before he became president?
4. All the steps taken by the last administration to tackle Boko haram were roundly condemned by Buhari, why is he now adopting the same tactics after gaining power? The infamous visits to neighboring countries is a case study.
While the above could be seen as mere conjectures especially by the ever vociferous APC jingoists, do we have any reason to doubt the President's sincere commitment to take Boko haram headlong? Is Buhari clandestinely working to actualise the yearnings of certain northern elders who had at various times and most recently canvassed for amnesty to Boko haram? Why will Buhari's govt release N21b to the multinational forces while at the same time entertaining "negotiation" with the sect?

The boko haram game plan has already been revealed,


After Apc was declared the winner of the election,


Boko haram attacks Stopped for weeks,



When we started asking questions and suspecting conspiracy, the now continued their attacks,




I bet in a month or two, boko haram will be called to order by their ogas at the top,


And the story will end there

WombRaiders:
Has any one of you ever bothered to wonder how it was possible for ISIS which is composed of minority Sunni Muslims in Iraq was able to overrun vast territories of that country inspite of US arming, training and providing Intel to Iraq Security forces? This is opposite what Jonathan administration got by way of support from the Obama White House rather the Obama administration went along way to blocking alternatives to securing much needed weapons at the same time refused to share intel to the Nigerian Security forces and took it up a notch by refusing to designate Boko Haram a Foreign Terrorist Organizaion - a categorization that would have helped to block financing and support to the group.

In spite of all these challenges, the "clueless" Jonathan was at one time able to beat Boko Haram into a retreat to the Camerounian mountain borders where they were contained before they resurfaced again befor Jonathan ordered a full scale war which saw recapturing of local govts from the insurgents. Jonathan achieved all this without US , Uk and western military assistance.

But look at what we have in Iraq where US, has although refused to categorize ISIS as an FTO, but still supplies weapons and conducts air raids on ISIS positions. ISIS inspite of all this is still waxing strong and claiming more territory.

It also baffles me that the US govt will claim that one of ISIS principal fund sources is from captured Iraqi oil fields. How is ISIS shipping oil talk less of still able to maintain drilling operations without US connivance? What is stopping Obama from bombing the gas lines?

Iraq is mostly landlocked with only a small portion to the south bordering to the Gulf of Arabia, ISIS is thus still shipping oil via the gas pipelines through Turkey. Why is there not an embargo on Iraqi oil shipped from captured territory?

Back to Nigeria, it is very obvious why we are witnessing more expansion of Boko attacks into areas they had only sleeper cells and this is to blackmail Nigerians into accepting a peace deal and subsequent amnesty package for Boko Haram.

Boko Haram have stated their intention to swap the phantom Chibok girls in exchange for 16 of their top commanders in custody. This is just another attempt at using the Chibok scam to advance another agenda.

Buhari knows what he is doing.

Do not take the Economists seriously because their aim is to portray Buhari as merely incompetent when the truth is that all these bombings and Boko Haram expansion is a calculated move towards forcing a negotiation option down our throats.

If Buhari truly wants to end Boko Haram he has all the weapons, intel and resources at his disposal to achieve this but he won't because after all "a fight against Boko Haram is an attack on the north".

Sometimes the way you guys contradict yourself is disgraceful. Buhari took advantage of the same faceless group to become president, He rebuffed the plan to negotiate with the same faceless group. Now, the same Buhari is planning to negotiate with the same faceless group.

He didn't lived up to his status as ex- head of state because he politicized everything about BH. I think everything turned around on him.
