1025: if only this boko haram will concentrate on govt and these politicians, many nigerians will be willing to join them because we need to crash these criminals gangs that call themselves rulers.
we need any group, individual or arrangements that will destroy these politicians and whatever they stand for.
if we do not delete what jonathan calls cabal, there won't be a head way in this nation.
big heads must roll in this country for nigeria to move forward.
pls, boko haram agents here shld take this massage to them that many of us are ready to join them as rebels not terrorist. let us bring down this useless system and start our lives afresh.
we need a drastic change

Unfortunately,those that u think boko haram should help annihilate seem to be their sponsors!!!

Bokoharam bombs and kills in their own country ONLY, killing their own country men , is that true of osama? get your logic straight .

youngies: The United States has not designated Boko Haram a terrorist organisation because its insurgency is principally aimed at portraying the Nigeria government as ineffective, Ambassador Jonnie Carson said yesterday.

The US Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs spoke in a continent-wide telephone conference monitored at the US Embassy in Lagos.

Mr. Carson said Boko Haram is not a homogenous organisation and, therefore, not qualified to be labelled a terrorist group.

“Boko Haram is an organisation trying to discredit the Nigerian government and trying to show the government as ineffective in protecting its citizens,” he said.

He, however, conceded that the US “constantly keeps it (Boko Haram) under review” and that is why it has declared three Boko Haram leaders as terrorists.

Last June, the US Government placed Abubakar Shekau, Abubakar Adam Kambar and Khalid al-Barnawi on its global terror watch list.

“These three leaders were declared as terrorists because we believe they have established contacts and broader network with foreign terrorist organisations. They have sought funding and materials,” Carson said.

In the build-up to the November 6 US presidential election, Carson spoke extensively on US affairs in Africa.

According to him, the US’s predominant activities are targetted at helping “Africa deal with its ongoing security challenges” because crises take away resources meant for development. But, he said the country’s larger aim is to help Africa grow its economy, especially agriculture.

Who asked for their opinion in the first place?

Must these american determine who a terrorist is or not?

They are always there to cause complications. I now believe dat AFRICOM was formed by them to take Africa on an advanced slave trade.

Or are they scared of been attacked by BH in 9ja dats why they are speaking nice of BH?

They'll 1 day pay the price of all the confusions the have caused in Africa.

Osama bin Laden has always attacked the US from outside the United States, while BH attacked Nigeria only from inside Nigeria, so they cannot be designated as a terrorist group by definition by US...though Nigeria can designate it as a terrorist group on its soil

Its either America is confused or very selfish!


1.) Some people had made contact with terrorist organisations and sought funding and assistance from them.
2.) You designate those people as terrorist!
3.) These people set up and organisation which is using terror to achieve its aim, whatever that is.

So, How can you say the "people" are terrorist but the "organisation" is NOT a terror organisation?

See Politics, American-styylee! shocked shocked

indirect rule by U. S, I don't blame them Nigeria wake up, no one can make you feel inferior without your consent. No human race is superior; no religious faith is inferior. All collective judgments are wrong. Only racists make them. A superior man is modest in his speech, but exceeds in his actions. Kudos to America for wise decision taken by conspired with boko haram I believe they intent to divide Nigeria by style

how can the US govt call boko haram terrorists when they are the ones funding and training them?

is this not the same way the libyan NTC were not called terrorists but freedom fighters because they were armed, funded and trained by the CIA? lets watch and see whether boko haram will one day become nigeria's future govt courtesy of the CIA as was the case in Libya.

even u know that boko haram was created to distract jonathan from delivering good governance by ur brodas in the north...U.S should quickly come in to arrest the leader of boko haram(buhari)......GEJ is a very intelligent personality...he watches lik he is not aware....because arresting the leader(buhar) by GEJ will cost more christain lives up north....knowing that the northerners are so daft and not suppose to be called nigeria but niger....when buhari and IBB are arrested to a large extent, boko haram will slow down....
