have you bothered to ask why the boko haram menace has not spread to the south?

or you think the south has bomb detectors and fool proof security apparatchik? the answers to these will give you a picture of where i am coming from.

One_Naira: Asari Dokunbo is starting to talk too much. One of these days, he's going to put himself in alot of trouble because of his mouth. hmmm

logica: Oh, so the reason Boko Haram hasn't come to the south is because the Northern oligarchy is behind it. No wonder the "Nigerian Army" is a mess with the kind of brain dead baboons that wear uniforms. So the same Northern oligarchy will want to destroy their land; and will engineer a group that has tried to eliminate several of them already? No wonder you guys couldn't handle the likes of Dokubo and the government had to beg the militants with "amnesty".

PointB:


No one prays for war. But if another war is what Nigeria needs to set things right, so be it. Whether one has witnessed war or not is immaterial in war. Majority of those who fought in the civil war never witnessed it until it came. So will most of us standing around today.

Let's channel our efforts into restructuring Nigeria for equity, fairness and justice NOW! Or war will come upon us all, sooner or later!

Demdem: A failure must be removed no matter what. Asari himself knows the Retardeen has failed the people at least till date. On this basis i stand.

kilo234: Just last night I dream th of war in Nigeria. Thou I have never experienced it but guys the way I was afraid in the dream enh no be joke ohh, as I dey run they find safty guy my heart nearly fall comort see armor tankers dey make booommmm, booooommm every where, both the rich and the poor dey run anyhow. War is not what we pray for but the way am beginning to see tins is like a war in Nigeria is inevitable in other for this country to progress so guys make una just they pray ohh because it might come sooner than we expect oh

ololo12: Oh God please make the UK embassy give me Visa....... So that I can defect from this country, just in time. Before this war starts!!....

BBDelta: Asari Knows nothing about War!!!!!!!!!. If Jonathan is incompentent, he will be removed and nothing will happen.
We have heared this kind of talks before. The same Yoruba people who said, if they arrest Abiola heaven will fall, they arrested Abiola nothing happened, They went further to say if Abiola dies in prison there will be WAR, he died in prison, nothing happened. Their sons and daugthers were made Ministers and Ambassadors and we are moving..... One thing is sure Nigeria is bigger than any individual Geopolitical zone or Ethnic group, even the Igbos who had real motive of seperation couldn't. Na this selfish criminals of Edwin Clark and Asari Dokunbo na em want tell people to go WAR....Abeg, if Jonathan dies or is impeach NOTHING will happen.. Next

One_Naira: Asari Dokunbo is starting to talk too much. One of these days, he's going to put himself in alot of trouble because of his mouth. hmmm

born2fuck: But our military cannot take care of boko haram for 3 yrs now

adebayo6: Mr Asari its better u preach peace Ooo... Dis one wey u dey advertise bomb, can an average ijaw man commit suicide bomb? Una only sabi steal oil nd kidnap for money. Do u knw wot is WAR? U beta shut up, or u tink say if e hapun, na evrybody go fit eat d fish wey oil-spil kil 4una. Who no go suffer if war start?

Maybe i need to break it down for those of you saying Asari Dokubo is talking too much or maybe not. MEND and Bokoharam War | Feasibility Analysis . MEND can be supported by the government alongside other security agencies to silence BH. BOKOHARAM can only rely on the partnership with al-Qaeda and if that happens, the U.S will swiftly root for MEND. [b] MEND isn't a terrorist group and so they'll recieve the empathy of several African countries and majorly that of the AU. [/b] BOKOHARAM in regards has a limited support and that probably could come from Niger, Chad (they may turn against Nigeria) plus some other Islamist countries which in return will win the UN to the side of MEND. MEND cohesion is highly ruthless than the unchallenged bokoharam and it's obvious BH is a one-faced group. MEND can walk the streets freely thereby aiding their strategic plans, bokoharam will keep hiding. BOKOHARAM intention of Islamising Nigeria and executed act of bombing Mosques will force the true Muslims to point-out their hideout in the North or elsewhere and that means the true-Muslims will support MEND in the war
I can go on and on, the reason BH seem to be indomitable is because they haven't been challenged. MEND can be more dangerous if allowed. BH won't last if any war is prompted and just like Al-dine in Mali they will be moving from jungle to jungle within Africa. I don't pray for war but if that happens BH is going downnnnnn!!!!!!

jp philips:

Are you having a hard on with the bold quote?

listen, the end game is not war or division because it doesn't suit some interest. the brains behind BH are not stup!d, if it spreads to the south, it will be counterproductive to their aim which is taking over Govt. it is common sense.

wirinet:
if the military should use full force, the north would become a desert wasteland, and the civilian casualty would be unacceptably high and might result in a full blown civil war.

Ishilove: Asari Dokubo is right. The north has refused paradigm shift in leadership equation of the country. Isa kaita and his cohorts bliv north shud perpetually be in power. Thats the grouse of Asari. SNC is now more imperative than ever b4. Jonathan shud d4 convene snc immediately. To jp phillips he is misguided by castigating asari.

wirinet:



The same reason the military cannot take care of Boko haram is the same reason they could not take care of MEND. They are an internal insurgent group, if the military should use full force, the north would become a desert wasteland, and the civilian casualty would be unacceptably high and might result in a full blown civil war.

Krucifax: Although there was some ambiguity as to Boko-Haram's motives at the onset of hostilities,it's now clear to all that it's not really a movement per say but a political vehicle.
Lest we all forget in Nigeria Boko-Haram is not the first pseudo-religious terrorist group pretending to be fighting for an Islamic cause. There was Maitasane in the 80s who bear all the hallmarks of Boko-Haram. Indeed there are rumors in certain circles that current leaders of Boko-Haram are indeed Maitasane thugs that have come out of retirement.

The relevance of the point above is this;since it's political it then has backers amongst the Northern elite who provide funding and various forms of support. Since it's political it's therefore a game(expensive one)with a specific end plan in the mind of those running it. I would opine that war, as some people have alluded to is not the goal of Boko-Haram. Because war would be counter-productive to anyone with political ambitions,as there would be nothing to rule and no parastatal to facilitate the looting of resources and creation of wealth.
More importantly considering the expansive underdevelopment of major parts of Northern Nigeria, a war that might lead to national separation would be disastrous,having few taped resources and investment large swathes of the North depend on Federal Govt allocation to survive. The summary of it all being that war is not what they want.

In my opinion part of their goal is to sow fear in the minds and hearts of Nigerians,this is an important strategy for them so they can bully the rest of the populace to submit in return for peace!
They have adopted this strategy partly because they've witnessed in the election of GEJ the birth of an unstoppable political spirit in Nigeria,facilitated by an emergence of armies of educated,young,politically astute Nigerians with access to media and telecoms platforms for the instant transmission of information. They realize they are at a crossroad that could see a Northerner not rule Nigeria for a very very long time again,as a result they are fighting bitterly for what they see is their only hope of survival.

Dokubo Asari's comment is a chess play in the bigger game going on,part of it is to give the Northern elite something to think about and keep them honest,because they know violence is not the monopoly of any one group. It's to get them thinking "what if he follows through with his threat?". What would the collateral damage cost us(Bokoharam)? The pause time alone in considering these elements would have already saved some lives!!!!

ebamma: make i go sharpen my cutlass,Abokis be warned

hornipipe: #Whistling..war?...my_dad once told me_that its_only those who haven't witnessed war pray 4 it!!
