Nigeria is fast becoming like Pakistan with the rise of Boko Haram, how do you think the FG should tackle this problem? Don't just say for example dialogue,let us know how dialogue will work and why you think it is the best solution.

Why isn't the Government fiercely working to improve our police force, in order to improve security nation-wide, not necessarily from just BH groups?

Is improving the police a long or short term approach to quenching the thirst for blood?

Kobojunkie:

How do we collectively stop these guys?
Apparently, nothing is working, some people even say nothing has been done to stop them, some say pray. What do you suggest?

I prefer we ask of other things,rather than simply focusing on that which is trending @Poster.

Fine. We agree that our police is poor,its failed the country,fine. Improving the police isnt a day job, its a long term project and we'l have to sustain that improvement to fight ths rubbish if it rears its head in time to come. Now how or what would you suggest the FG does (since you are not here) that would stop the spate of blasts, riots and killings?

no suggestion yet

Georgia sacked almost all the police officers in one day and rebuilt in 3 months and today the have a very low crime rate. It's a smaller country though.

If the actions of BH or the 'inaction' of FG leads to the splitting of the country, what better outcome than that?

A long term project that we could have started in 1999, in 2003, in 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, and now in 2011 . . . if we are wise. We have had over 12 years to make serious gains in this, but have overall IGNORED this so we could focus on patching the latest issue in our silly ways. The sooner we start tackling that one problem., the sooner we will reap.
I am not here to suggest what the FG, with all it's powers, and vast resources can do. The President claimed to have the solution prior to re-election, do he doesn't need you or I to make suggestions. I am more concerned about the security in the nation as a whole which is yet to be taken seriously even after 12 years, and is really the genesis of this Bokoharam issue.

PointB:

doesn't sound like a solution to me. That's cowardice.

Don't be naive; whatever solution you proffer is basically academics. Beside this tread has been created more than a dozen times and serious solutions had been suggested in those ones. Maybe you should go through them.

but then there is more benefits of living in smaller peacefully nations than been dying for nothing in a bigger nation.

Besides, what is to say that after Boko Haram there will be no more militancy? There are a lot of 'active volcanoes' currently in dormant state. BH is in its active state at the moment.

Nigeria is not a united country, we are wasting precious time and lives trying to make it appear so. Too many blood has been shed on this land and it remains cursed until restitution is performed. I wish you well in your more than 51 years search for elusive peace and solution, even when the solution is very obvious.

*waiting for suggestions*
i'm tired of reading from critics who cant suggest but will hit the keyboards excitedly in criticism at every turn.

How should the FG stop Boko Haram?
Simple: By praying they come out and confess.

Since they are requesting for sharia law, then FG should make all Northern states sharia bound. And in the case of western education, they should offer them the kind of education they want simple! Government officials salary should b cut by 50percent for every one 2 b convinced dat FG is damn serious.

The FG, should just recruit men, train them well, and send them to all the northern states, any unnecessary movement, should be ''shoot at sight''. Dialogue is not going to stop them. The earlier the FG start to do something, the better, so many people have lost their lives, this situation should not be taken lightly at all.

I don't think that will solve the problem

I was never a supporter of the idea of disntergration but now i truly think that the only solution that the government should be considering, is how to peacefully divide the Nigerian state. There is no how you can negotiate peace and cordial existence with people who do not know how to reason like humans.

Fellow Nigerian. It's not Boko Haram fault. Just a cursory look at Muhammad's Qur'an (Koran) should be enough to warn you to keep your distance from Islam:

In it you will see "unbridled raw evil", such as statements like these:
- Truly, god loves those who fight
- Fight and slay the pagans wherever you find them, and seize them,
beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them in every stratagem.
- Chop off their hands and chop off their fingertips
- When you meet the unbelievers, chop off their heads
- Fight and slay those who don't convert wherever you find
them
- Believers, take neither Jew nor Christians for your friends
- Those who follow Muhammad are ruthless to unbelievers
- Those who reject Islam are "the vilest of creatures" and thus deserve
no mercy
- Fight them until Islam reigns supreme (throughout the world)

There are more than 100 verses in the Qur'an (Koran) advocating the use of violence to spread Islam. There are exactly 123 verses in the Qur'an about killing and fighting.

The word "Islam" has been falsely proclaimed by Muslims to mean peace. The word Islam, actually means "submission" to the Muslim god of intolerance and hatred. It comes from the root Arabic word "taslim". In Arabic, the word for peace is only "solh".
I wonder what kind of god muslims are serving.You can always know a false god.
False gods always demand the blood of innocents.
When a Muslim declares that Islam is a religion of peace, he/she is either ignorant of the Koran (Qur'an), or is deceitfully thinking of this "peace", as it extends only to those within the Muslim Community. The deceit is that they will not tell you exactly what they mean. According to the Qur'an: "Muhammad is the Apostle of Allah. Those who follow him are merciful to one another, but ruthless to unbelievers" Surah 48:29. "Kill the Mushrikun (unbelievers) wherever you find them, and capture them and besiege them, and lie in wait for them in each and every ambush, " Surah 9:5. Also see Surah 9:29: PICKTHAL: "Fight against such of those who have been given the Scripture (Christians & Jews) as believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, and forbid not that which Allah hath forbidden by His 'messenger', and follow not the Religion of Truth, until they pay the tribute readily, being brought low.". Please note that there is not a single verse in the entire Christian Bible that contains this "open-ended", universal command to kill/or be ruthless to unbelievers. Judge for yourself which religion really is a religion of peace. The emptiest barrel makes the loudest noise they. Y all this noise about islam is religion of peace when opposite is really the case. Religion of ruthlessness and brutality

Identify, locate and kill the sponsors, Silently without making noise.
Forget about legal action for no. Strike the head and the sheep will scatter.
A word they say is enough for the wise.
ACT FAST B4 ITS TOO LATE

why should we be asking how do we stop these guy. Lets think right for once, the Nta jounalist that was slain by this sect, who gave the sect information that the guy was a spy if not the same security men we have in the country.
The way to deal with this case is simple, in law, when a case has been decided before, you refer to the case; GEJ should use the same tactics Obama used in hunting down Osama. He creates his own team without the knowledge of other joint chiefs, then and there he whould have started thinking right. If his child or any of his loved one is involve in any of these blast, he would have thought smartly.

@dustydee I concured with you 100%.

But the only way for FG to tackle the problem of BH and all othere militants in Nigeria is SOCIAL JUSTICE. The income distribution in nigeria is so unequal what i meant is that the "gap between the rich and the poor is so wide".

Secondly, let's the FG make it bold that its realy want to tackle the situation.

This is my opinion.

interesting!

We need to address the root cause of these incidents of violence before it is too late. Often, peace-loving people are not proactive in promoting peace in Nigeria, and those who are proactive lack peace within. A combination of peace and dynamism is needed in Nigeria today. Though this may seem idealistic, it is not impossible. It is possible through right education and orientation. Each one of us can play a role in educating Nigerians on the human values of friendliness, compassion and non-aggression.

Fiscal Federalism, Retraining of Nig Police for intelligence gathering, and sovereign National Conference. On the short run, they should sake Ringim and all Security Chiefs and appoint those who appreciate the enormity of our security challenge. Prosecute all arrested Bokites to serve as deterent to others who may want to toe their path. Enough of the senseless killings. Every Nigerian is marginalised by the state and corrupt public servants. we all get by by providing for ourselves all the services the state should provide us. So why shd some people want to add to our collective misery?

I bleed for Jonathan because he is is falling into the booby trap, Northern losers have set for him. They vowed to make Nigeria ungovernable when they lost out and they are succeeding because he allows them. How? He sits like a lame duck and thinks that if he doesnt act for fear of being labelled a 'Christian trying to crush Islam", the problem will go away-wishful thinking. It will be a big shame on him if those liars are proved true at the end of his four year term, if he has nothing to show patriotic Nigerians who voted him to power.
Politicians sponsor Bokoikes, Let him find them and use all means within the confines of the law to deal with them, chase them out of town. Free compulsory primary and secondary education should be a policy that cut accross the country so that these politicians will no longer find tools in idle minds. Job CReation too. How? Infrastructural development that will encourage startups, not the 'wururuwu' 10,000 jobs state governments 'create' by fiat.
It is unfortunate that NASS which should engage in robust debate on security, infrastructural decay and unemployment busies itself with idiotic issues like same sex marriage & legalisation of abortion. shio! Somebody will want us to believe they are there to represent Nigerians. They ain't. A Sovereign National Coference will do. It will help us decide whether we want one Nigeria or "To your tent, oh Israel or Edom as the case may be.

When politically correct, tolerant, and culturally diverse non-muslim societies agree to Muslim demands for their religious privileges, some of the other components tend to creep in as well. Here's how it works. As long as the Muslim population remains around or under 2% in any given country, they will be for the most part be regarded as a peace-loving minority, and not as a threat to other citizens. This is the case in:

United States — Muslim 1.0%
Australia — Muslim 1.5%
Canada — Muslim 1.9%
China — Muslim 1.8%
Italy — Muslim 1.5%
Norway — Muslim 1.8%

At 2% to 5%, they begin to proselytize from other ethnic minorities and disaffected groups, often with major recruiting from the jails and among street gangs. This is happening in:

Denmark — Muslim 2%
Germany — Muslim 3.7%
United Kingdom — Muslim 2.7%
Spain — Muslim 4%
Thailand — Muslim 4.6%

From 5% on, they exercise an inordinate influence in proportion to their percentage of the population. For example, they will push for the introduction of halal (clean by Islamic standards) food, thereby securing food preparation jobs for Muslims. They will increase pressure on supermarket chains to feature halal on their shelves — along with threats for failure to comply. This is occurring in:

France — Muslim 8%
Philippines — Muslim 5%
Sweden — Muslim 5%
Switzerland — Muslim 4.3%
The Netherlands — Muslim 5.5%
Trinidad & Tobago — Muslim 5.8%

At this point, they will work to get the ruling government to allow them to rule themselves (within their ghettos) under Sharia, the Islamic Law. The ultimate goal of Islamists is to establish Sharia law over the entire world.

When Muslims approach 10% of the population, they tend to increase lawlessness as a means of complaint about their conditions. In Paris , we are already seeing car-burnings. Any non-Muslim action offends Islam, and results in uprisings and threats, such as in Amsterdam , with opposition to Mohammed cartoons and films about Islam. Such tensions are seen daily, particularly in Muslim sections, in:

Guyana — Muslim 10%
India — Muslim 13.4%
Israel — Muslim 16%
Kenya — Muslim 10%
Russia — Muslim 15%

After reaching 20%, nations can expect hair-trigger rioting, jihad militia formations, sporadic killings, and the burnings of Christian churches and Jewish synagogues, such as in:

Ethiopia — Muslim 32.8%

At 40%, nations experience widespread massacres, chronic terror attacks, and ongoing militia warfare, such as in:

Bosnia — Muslim 40%
Chad — Muslim 53.1%
Lebanon — Muslim 59.7%

From 60%, nations experience unfettered persecution of non-believers of all other religions (including non-conforming Muslims), sporadic ethnic cleansing (genocide), use of Sharia Law as a weapon, and Jizya, the tax placed on infidels, such as in:

Albania — Muslim 70%
Malaysia — Muslim 60.4%
Qatar — Muslim 77.5%
Sudan — Muslim 70%

After 80%, expect daily intimidation and violent jihad, some State-run ethnic cleansing, and even some genocide, as these nations drive out the infidels, and move toward 100% Muslim, such as has been experienced and in some ways is on-going in:

Bangladesh — Muslim 83%
Egypt — Muslim 90%
Gaza — Muslim 98.7%
Indonesia — Muslim 86.1%
Iran — Muslim 98%
Iraq — Muslim 97%
Jordan — Muslim 92%
Morocco — Muslim 98.7%
Pakistan — Muslim 97%
Palestine — Muslim 99%
Syria — Muslim 90%
Tajikistan — Muslim 90%
Turkey — Muslim 99.8%
United Arab Emirates — Muslim 96%

100% will usher in the peace of 'Dar-es-Salaam' — the Islamic House of Peace. Here there's supposed to be peace, because everybody is a Muslim, the Madrasses are the only schools, and the Koran is the only word, such as in:

Afghanistan — Muslim 100%
Saudi Arabia — Muslim 100%
Somalia — Muslim 100%
Yemen — Muslim 100%

Unfortunately, peace is never achieved, as in these 100% states the most radical Muslims intimidate and spew hatred, and satisfy their blood lust by killing less radical Muslims, for a variety of reasons.

+1000  I actually thought I was the only one who knew this FACT. I actually read about this in an international news magazine once.

Interesting.

the next person who says by praying is a fool! this BH only understands violence and a man who can machete a baby is not human at all but an evil callous sick bastard. why are Americans not praying that Taliban stops this war against them? Because sometimes diplomacy dont work and the olnly other option is war. The FG need to bring in intelligence from countries who are expereinced in this sprt of things, setup special sections to deal with this sort of issues.  These people will come and train our sepcial officers on how to gather intelligence and excute the perfect counter terrorism plan. I myself will volunteer as an IT expert , will montior their communication> Did anyone see the documentary on Osama Bin ladin Capture, the US CIA surveilled his compund for 5 years gathering information and evidence and finally excecuted the plan. this is what we need in Nigeria, we are intelligent people, we shouldnt  give into this scums! We have the money , lets use it for something positive for once. as any war commander knows, cut of the head and the tail will die! go for the master minds behind this terrorist act, the underground God fathers, the financiers, the commanders and then see if the pawn soldiers can do anything . I personally dont think this 4kers are ready to sit and talk, they are mean bastards and so should be captured and interrogated and see who is supporting them. if nothing is done, am afraid, by the time the Boko kunts! are done 9/11 will be like a minor tragedy

if our FG will stop corruption and stay away from cultism, boko haram will stop to exist.
