all4naija: I am always watching your comments. They are indirectly in support of Northerners agenda, even when they are wrong! How am I supporting Northern agenda? FYI, I'm not a fan of Northern Nigeria - but I'm against look at problems from the surface... USA can NEVER, I repeat NEVER help Nigeria... We've to solve our problems ourselves... Obama's stance showed that USA is definitely backing the Northern agenda by asserting that Boko Haram is a result of "Frustrations & Poor Government."... USA definitely has an agenda, and I wouldn't be surprised if they're indirectly behind Boko Haram... We all know Al Qaeda/Muslim Brotherhood = CIA... They're allegedly fighting them in Afghanistan - but using the same al qaeda to do their dirty work in Libya and Syria.. |

Those americans have made a terrible mistake. The Nigerian government wouldn't be trying to keep boko territory. We would even pay them to declare their sharia state and stay there. This is not Syria. Everybody to his father's house. |

Can any Americophile on this thread tell me why USA always know about Boko Haram's suicide bombings before everyone? |

If Farouk Abdulmutallab had succeeded, what would Obama and indeed Americans say? This is a very hot slap on President Goodluck's face. His friends are beginning to dump him. This is just the beginning. The west can never be trusted when it comes to affairs concerning Africa. Rwanda and others are very good examples. |

Almost 3 years ago, I complained that the poor Northerners and Almajiris were the most marginalized Nigerians. One dummy, DapoBear, on his 7th post on NL attacked me here and summarily dismissed the need for well meaning Nigerians to challenge their government for these atrocities. People like Beaf and PhysicsQED would rather blame the demise of these marginalized Nigerian on Governors/LG chairmen from the North and hide under the phrase “charity begins at home” These so-called enlightened people conveniently ignore the fact the Federal ministries of Education, Works, and Interior alone, have been run by Southerners who have spent (stolen) over $89.89 billion over the past 15 or so years. They ignored these same poor Northerners. The marginalization of these Northerers by the government aided and enabled by the lack of protests from people like Beaf, PhysicsPHD, Dapobear, is now biting the whole nation in the butt, in the form of BH. These three musketeers are government enablers in these atrocities, to say the least, and they represent the useless Nigerian youths. Obama has now told you people the truth which you continue to reject because you prefer the tribal based interpretation of events. The only way to redeem yourselves is to join hands with well meaning Nigerians and chase PDP out of Abuja in 2015. Enough is enough |

all4naija: Raise my brow! You are speculating as well. How am I speculating? Libya: Rebel Leader Abdel Hakim Belhadj Abdel Hakim Belhadj is a rising star in the Libyan leadership and standing for election, but his past ties to jihadi groups have sparked controversy - along with his claims of being tortured at the behest of US and British intelligence agencies under the programme known as rendition. Syria Members of al-Qaeda have infiltrated Syrian opposition groups, and likely executed recent bombings in the nation’s capital and largest city, the United States’ top intelligence official said Thursday. |

wadoski: Listen Mr this is not about GEJ ok? Even if what Obama said is true which I dont really accept, you must understand whatever frustration he is talkling about did not start with GEJ. He is only 2 yrs in power and independent Nigeria is 52 yrs old. You and Obama shud not give me that s**t about frustration, BH is about jihad and religion.Why do we blame or insult the US president when it is actually the greed and irresponsibility of our government that's causing the disgrace and hardship? If an american representative makes a public declaration on a certain issue, it is most likely based on emperical premises. And i think what we should do is to examine our situation and task our young minds to think up viable solutions out of this ordeal. P.S: a stitch in time saves nine; or as the yoruba will say ''OGUN ÀWÍTÉLÈ KÌÍ PA ARO....TÓ BÁ GBÓN !! |

more lies from the wall street puppet. al qaeda is a creation of US intelligence. boko haram = al Qaeda splinter group trained, armed and financed by the United States govt. Just as Al Qaeda was used to overthrow Qadaffi in Libya Boko Haram will be used to completely destabilise and destroy Nigeria. |

nagoma: I don't have an issue with the Northern muslims or the Northern christians or the Northern pagans, but what disgusts me is the desperate attempt to place the blame for the savagery and brainlessness of boko boys on "the fisherman" or on economic conditions existing elsewhere in Africa by some people from the North. ( this dumb question cannot be asked by a living person in 2012 even if he is non Nigerian living in Siberia.) There was nothing dumb about the question. When you can explain what deterioration there was in the bokos' living standard or livelihood that wasn't there previously, maybe you'll actually have a point with all this "rapid decline" stuff. How can people who are already at their lowest point, before GEJ came on, somehow experience a rapid decline as soon as he is elected, but when you ask what this rapid decline is no one can give a straight answer? It's annoying. |

Re: Obama Claims Boko Haram Was Brought By Frustrations & Poor Government by Crayola1: 6:06am On Jul 12, 2012 |
PhysicsQED: You're asking too much from him. You are speaking to a very biased individual and asking him to for once in his life face the issue at hand and not use the his beliefs about Southern Nigerians (passed down from generation to generation no doubt) to color his thought process. Its impossible. The fact that he claims that BH is the sole responsibility of GEJ when this thing has legs that stretch back to the Yardua administration and by some accounts even further back yet GEJ is the only guilty party, tells you all you need to know about Nagoma. |

What the man said to a reasonable extent is true. When the so called leaders are busy looting the economy of this country thereby subjecting the citizens to abject poverty and frustration. |

The world seems not to have realized yet that the religious wars that reared its head in the middle East is threatening to erupt in full force in Nigeria. They are sitting arms akimbo watching and even laughing at us while we make fools of ourselves. Are they waiting to see kwashiokored children (as it was in the case of the Biafran secession war) or thousands/millions dead (as it was in the case of the Rwandan Genocide) before realizing that religious genocide is taking place in Nigeria? We don't want any sob/pity stories of "we should have acted in time enough to save them" in the future, isn't that the line that was used to explain away Rwandan Genocide and console the affected Rwandans after the world watched on while they got slaughtered off? Hundreds of bodies strewn all over the land in Plateau state, mothers & wives weeping for their slaughtered children & husbands yet nobody/no world organisation is giving Nigeria attention. Are these wasted lives worthless? In Nigeria it's now a case of "if you are unlucky to have any of your family become a victim of this foolishness----sorry, go and bury your dead". Are all these victims being slaughtered weekly in these bombings/religious &tribal feuds not siblings, mothers and fathers of human beings. If the US govt know for real that they stand for human rights as they have been carrying themselves, what prevents them and the United Nations from seriously wading into this matter as we don't seem to be able to help ourselves with the way we are condoning, talking, chit chatting, quarrelling and even tribal-hating on top of this evil like it's nothing. The US govt attributing these bombings and killings to frustrations and poor government sounds like the reasons they are giving why they should turn their back on Nigeria and its wahala. |

Crayola1: Yar Adua is not there to solve the problem of the criminal and terrorist uprising of BH. We have been informed that GEJ is now the President and that is why we are asking him to come to our aid ( actually do his work) by containing these criminals using the vast resouces ( security network, media, advisors, money, wisdom, knowledge etc ) at his disposal. I didn't say that he started BH, but what i said isthat , he refused or failed to contain the problem. This ( security) is the least I can request from my president. Crayola is an American ( he has the green card and can work in American fast food joints) I suggest you look at your President's ( Obama) statement more closely and advise him appropriately if he is wrong. |
Re: Obama Claims Boko Haram Was Brought By Frustrations & Poor Government by Solozzo(m): 7:13am On Jul 12, 2012 |
I am amazed at how some Nairalanders have displayed ignorance. Look at where terrorism, civil unrest are breeding today and you find that they are mainly in countries where there are no jobs, a lot of suffering, low level of education. If Islamism is the main cause of boko haram why are there no terrorism Saudi Arabia , Dubai or Qatar This is a wake up call for our govt to call for national unity and start working for the people. This civil unrest would continue. BH is only one of them. In fact it all started with the Niger delta, Massob, and there is another group brewing in iboland already. These groups are merely venting their frustration in being in a country that is corrupt , inefficient and negligent. |
Re: Obama Claims Boko Haram Was Brought By Frustrations & Poor Government by owobokiri(m): 8:24am On Jul 12, 2012 |
omo_to_dun: @shymmex That simple? You need to get a grip! Frustration is over flowing. If i havent met a Nigerian before, reading what you have up there, my impression would be that this is a country of over 100 million robbers. That is a 'fat' lie. We dont have robbery DNAed in our system. We just have the misfortune of dealing with a very flawed political system. Because the system is flawed, it allows only flawed characters near power. Jonathan wasnt even the best governor during his time. But it was the lameduck that got the presidency! Why? The corrupt characters that were in charge knew very well that they needed the services of a fellow corrupt character to protect them when they are gone, so they recruited one. We have his type everywhere in this country and in ALL countries of the world. Difference is that in other climes, the system ensures that his type wont get near power. There are millions of well mannered Nigerians willing to serve the country honestly. I have met some in government offices doing their jobs without seeking bribes. But how can they get to the top where they can be influential and be seen if the system post 1966 was constructed to allow crooked minds only? Lots of decent characters dont even vote in this country not to talk of standing for elections because they dont want to see their good names soiled. In essence, its only when you have a major political shake-up in this country and you ar able to create a system that rewards merit that you start to see decent citizens coming up to sacrifice for the state! Their inaction at the moment doesnt mean that the country is bereft of such quality. @thread while lots of Nigerians are worried that foriegn agents maybe involved, Jona is busy inviting the FBIs, CIAs and M15s after every attack. Nigerias presidency need to up their game. This is far too complex than we think. Your supposed best friend might be a Brutus. |
Re: Obama Claims Boko Haram Was Brought By Frustrations & Poor Government by mathskill: 9:01am On Jul 12, 2012 |
The truth is always bitter.Obama's words are not laced with sentiments,emotion,hatred,stereotyping nor prejudice like you southerner's.He is speaking obviously after briefing from state department officials especially from their embassy in Nigeria,under secretary of state for Africa and most likely the CIA.So he is objective and straight to the point.Definatly you southerners wont like what he said cos it goes contrary to your myopic mind setting which is shaped by the southern press.Moreover what he said was exactly what former American president Clinton said and you can't claim they are BH sympathizers in whatever way you wish given the fact they are infact christians.So take the bitter truth and if you cant handle it go hug transformer. |

If that's the case then the youth down south should also become tyrants : raid the CBN mint , Vandalize oil pipelines , destroy embassies , kidnap europeans and americans AFTER ALL the southerners are frustrated and are under poor governance too. |
Re: Obama Claims Boko Haram Was Brought By Frustrations & Poor Government by tribalism(m): 10:49am On Jul 12, 2012 |
@mathskil mark today, one day the obama's assertion and your post will combine to come against you. am sure obama will not lay bare his innermost thoughts. he's got maradonic skills upstairs. |
