It is a new reality we have to live with according to our clueless and incompetent president. No comments, nothing to reassure the people, total silence!!!
Re: Almost 24 Hours And Not A Single Statement From The Fg by Kobojunkie: 3:40pm On Jan 21, 2012
Do we honestly need a statement every other time the people decide to notice what has become an almost daily occurrence in the country? @Poster, I bet millions of Nigerians did not notice the many bombings even since January 1st, while they were still complaining about fuel subsidy.

You are asking for too much. This can only happen if the government is accountable to the people. Someday when Boko Haram gets to Aso Rock, we will see something like that.
Re: Almost 24 Hours And Not A Single Statement From The Fg by mpmp: 3:59pm On Jan 21, 2012
The reason the FG has not made an official statement is because they haven't been officially informed.

Officially informed? Yes, its usually the CNN or the BBC that calls them to give them an update about what is happening on ground.
Re: Almost 24 Hours And Not A Single Statement From The Fg by Nobody: 3:59pm On Jan 21, 2012
What do you expect GEJ to say. The usual "we know the sponsors of Boko Haram, they are in my government, and in the senate and house of reps". I will prefer he says nothing actually because it is obvious he is not prepared to do anything about Boko Haram. Kabir Sokoto was allowed to escape and some Boko Haram suspect accussed last year have all been granted bail.

As GEJ said earlier in the year, "bombings are a burden we will have to live with".

Within hours on 9/11,George Bush was seen helping out in the carnage. Hours after Hurricane Katrina, he was slow in response and can't forgive himself for that until today.

But here is your President; so uncharismatic and basically out of with with reality.

I weep for Nigeria.

This 9/11 or whatever you want to call it now, has been going on for weeks. Why do you need a SPEECH now? Since january 1st , Aljazeera has been reporting on the killings for weeks. The Government has said near nothing of it all this time, and people did not care then, so why care now?

The people do care, it's just that no one is listening to them, and this will be the undoing of this government.

Really? How many protests against Boko Haram and the Government's handling of the situation for the past 2 years, have you witnessed or seen in the last 2 years? The people care so much that they go about their daily lives as if they don't, right? The those who even wail, do so because they seem to have another opportunity to play the "VICTIM" card by claiming people of their ethnicity are the ones being targetted when in fact that is so far from the case?

Next, time, before you tell us what you think, make sure it at least lines up with the facts on the ground.

Kobo, reply direct to my post cool. Are you still mad at me? grin.   TRUCE?

I assume you are right. The people and the government don't know what they want. Talk about Misplaced priorities. This is why I have given up on this country. I want a bold move and someone to prove me otherwise and make me have FAITH in this project again.

Shalom cool.

Nigerians do not have to protest against Boko Haram for the government to be alive to it's responsibilities. This is why we have a government, otherwise people should be going around with AK47s to protect themselves and their families.

I have no clue who you are or what you mean when you ask if I am still mad at you.

My post is directed at the posters pretending that this ought to have happened as if we have demanded it be the norm, as against the 'not caring' responses to the situation for a while now, and yours is not the only post.

Oh! Nigerians do not have to protest against what they do not like, BUT it being allowed anyways? Really?

Government is supposed to AUTOMAGICALLY read the minds of the people, and assume that when it is doing something and people say nothing, then it is OK? Abi? Cause that seems to be exactly what we are getting but you are complaining of here.

The first responsibility of any government is the protect the people against all threats, whether foreign or domestic. Yes, the government is supposed to AUTOMATICALLY respond to anything that will threaten the lives and security of Nigerians.

I am sorry to say but you are wrong in your assertion. This is why Thomas Jefferson said;

"God forbid we should ever be twenty years without such a rebellion. The people cannot be all, and always, well informed. The part which is wrong will be discontented, in proportion to the importance of the facts they misconceive. If they remain quiet under such misconceptions, it is lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty. , And what country can preserve its liberties, if its rulers are not warned from time to time, that this people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to the facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time, with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is its natural manure."

Shalom cool,

Are you implying we should start protesting against Boko Haram? Really? That will be a waste of time. A better protest will be against the government itself and trying to force a change in government. If we need to remind them that Boko Haram is bad, then our protest should be for a change in government.

Look, remind Boko Haram that they people HATE what they are doing and so they do not fight on behalf of the people, muslims or even Nigerians in general. Protest the Government's handling of the problem and remind the Government that it's failures of the past 2 years is unacceptable.

Expecting Boko Haram or Government to AUTOMAGICALLY read the minds of the people on this is what has allowed this drag on for years. Do you know how many lives have been lost to the senselessness in all that time? If you had been directly affected, I bet you would see this a lot differently but like I said, we generally don't care and that is why people are cold on this still.
