Afam4eva: This doesn't prove jack. Why didn't they work round maiduguri without their security detail?


Security detail means nothing, even the JTF with their superior firepower gets blown off and killed just like the helpless Nigerians BH slaughter everyday.


The fact remains that your weak and chicken president have more guns and security details as the commander in chief and the chief security officer than these governors and still lacks courage and not man enough to visit that state.


Of what use are you as the president of Nigeria, the commander in chef and the chief security officer of Nigeria if any part of Nigeria and the country you swore to protect is a no go area for you?

It's that they call some of you the leaders of tomorrow, but you sound and act like the weak and incompetent leaders of today.

I will only believe them if they can spend at least one week in Maiduguri. FRom the picture sef you can sense fear in them. I trust Igbo man Rochas. Did you notice that he was not visible in the first picture? That's because he was between those in fron and those at the back. So that if yawa gas, he'll have a second chance. I pity Oshiomole. See as him dey waka for front like say na him get Bokoharam.

On a more serious note, BH sees no need attacking this BK guys cause they don't really have any grouse with them. Their fight is against the FG and not local champs whose governance have no bearing on them.

These nonentity governors are not bokoharam targets but Goodluck Jonathan as the president of Nigeria is a target. So, he must be very careful. That's not to say that i support the fact that he has refused to visit Maiduguri.

You're hair-splitting and bending over to tediously prove a point.

If you carry a crate of eggs in one hand and a bunch of palm fruits in the other hand and then walk backwards from Lagos to Maiduguri, those who won't praise you would still deride you.

If they spend a week there without any mishap, you would say they've abandoned governance in their states. If there's a mishap, you would say 'shebi you don talk am'.

So if the grouse of Boko Haram is towards the FG, why were some of you saying Buhari should go there? Why was Obasanjo hailed when he visited?

The person that should spend a week (or one month sef) in Maiduguri is Jonathan (the Commander in Chief). This is one of the plausible ways (albeit belated) for him to counter this easily perceptible political point by the opposition.

My use of the term "nonentities" just seeks to highlight the fact that they are not Bokoharam's enemies. BK is not looking for them. It won't make any difference if the visiting governors were Chime, Akpabio, Obi or Amaechi. So, fair is fair.

They are nonentity governors right? Just because they were bold and men enough to do what the president of Nigeria is too scared to do?

Btw, so GEJ is BH's main target, but what about the innocent Nigerians that get slaughtered everyday, what about the restaurants and places of worship that get blown up by BH far far away from Aso Rock?


You people are cheap replicas of our clueless and dumb president, you are even too lame to be his spokesman and supporter.

You can't prove that Boko Haram isn't looking for them. Afterall, they're dignitaries.

You claimed the FG is the target yet even Emirs were attacked.

Wait, are you saying they took NO risk with this Maiduguri Walk?

It only takes one snipper's bullet to bring down any target. We all know Gaddaffi's armoury was looted and there are more sophistacated weaponry lying about througout d sahel regions of Africa. Maiduguri been at d epic centre of an insurgency, it would be foolhardy, if not utter silliness & rather childish for Mr Phd President to disregard his security details and embark on a journey of pardition.

What is at stakes here, Borno State & Yobe State, in d grand scheme of things, these 2 states are Political minows, Jonathan sticking his neck out for an overzealous BH, or better still an aboki officer turning his gun on his oga cannot be discounted. We are all aware of d Politics going on in d Army with d Chief of Army staff accused of Tribalism.

If I were Jonsthan i will stear clear of Borno, but then, to show loyalty to d innocent citizens of Borno State, d Federal Govt should be able to, obviously once a well orcheastrated and meticulous plan is put in place, move all activites of Governance to Borno State for one week. It can be done, I thought every state has a Presidential Lodge, what is d lodge for? if d number one August visitor in d country will not visit.

To stay parmanently away from Msifuguti is a bit troublesome but then is d stake worth d risk.

I'm not sure what this piece of political theatre is suppossed to prove. If anything, in a country where suspicion and mistrust are rife, this will only strenghten the suspicion of those who subscribe to the view that the upsurge in Boko Haram violence is linked to opposition to GEJ's ascendancy to power.

It would be more impressive if they were walking the streets of Yenagoa.

What would have been your reaction if the menace of Boko Haram had started after Jonathan became President? But you see, it was under Yar'adua's government that their leader was killed.

You are refuting a straw man argument that I didn't make. We know that Boko Haram existed before GEJ's administration but the campaign of violence escalated after he became President in a manner that suggests that much of the violence is inspired by the mere fact that he is President. I don't think it's far-fetched to say that the Northern Islamists will be far keener to kill GEJ than Oshiomole or any of the other Governors.

That the opposition walked through the streets of a city gripped by anti-Govt sentiment and violence is arguably less impressive than walking the streets of a place like Yenagoa which is virulently pro-GEJ.

Yes! they have scored a major political point only in the tribalist SW. Its funny how you losers always shift goal posts regularly to justify your fraudulently media loving governors. Oh its now for GEJ to visit Borno before you call him a good Prez. what difference will this visit of these charlatans called governors make to Borno? Will it stop Boko Haram there? In any case why did this again charlatans called governors wait until their personal ambitions through APC to visit Borno? Where they not in Nigeria all this while. Why are they bent on playing politics with boko haram? You should hide your head in shame.

Honestly, there is a reason why Presidents visit war fronts. Example, George Bush visited Afghanistan and Iraq serverally. Also, Obama has been to Afghanistan. More recently, the French President visited troops in Mali.

The reason is to give a morale boost to the soldiers and the people. Also, to say 'I am with you in this'. Another reason is to strike a psychological blow on the rebels and let them know that the Commander in Chief ain't running scared. Say what you want, but as soon as JTF quelled the disturbances to a manageable rate, GEJ should have visited the state and shown solidarity with his countrymen. Anyway, maybe he has already written off the votes of that section of town...but a Nationalist leader should not be thinking about only votes. It's our innocent brothers and sisters that are being murdered by a crazy sect in their religion. Majority do not support Boko Haram.

Has Boko Haram stated that it's against Jonathan? You've assumed that it's against President Jonathan SIMPLY because the problem got worse after him. Don't problems generally get worse if they remain untackled? Is kidnapping problem not getting worse in the South? Is there any assurance that the Boko Haram problem would not have got worse under Yar'adua?

This is an attempt to cheapen the governors' visit. If they had announced the visit before going there, people like you would probably have dared/taunted them because Boko Haram had even been attacking emirs and threatening governors. They kill their own people on a regular basis.

Now that they've gone, rather than commend them or just ignore the news, you're saying they should go to Yenagoa. Are you saying the people of Yenagoa are so intolerant to the extent that they would attack them? Are you insinuating that Yenagoa is more unsafe than Maiduguri?

Fast forward to 2015. Won't the opposition campaign in 'virulently pro-GEJ' Yenagoa or would Jonathan still avoid Borno state and its environs? We are waiting.

Are you serious? If it was so easy to walk the streets of Maiduguri with a retinue of armed security as these Governors have done, Why does the President and "Commander in Chief" of the Nigerian armed forces not try it? Surely with absolute control over the armed forces, he can command all of the forces to volunteer deploy their best men and ordinances to Borno to guarantee his security while he visits and commiserates with indigenes of the state right?

The President's refusal to visit Borno for whatever reason will continue to haunt his administration and remain a sore point. There is absolutely no justification for that.

Na wah 4 una. Its all political maneuver setup to make sure that you act exactly how you're doing now. I admire their confidence and was surprised when I saw the pix, that was before I then saw what they hoped to gain if they got there before Jonathan. The knew the president would go there in a few weeks so they ran there first, it all spells political under tones. Remember still they would get there prepared with lots of military power so they don't have anything to fear.

The Governors themselves congratulated security forces for largely pacifying Maiduguri which made it possible for them to be there, so I'm not sure about untackled problems. Boko Haram's violent ideology isn't compatible with a Christian president. It's no different from the sudden urgency to implement Sharia law in various Northern states after OBJ became President. Religion is used to mask deeper angst about having an infidel ruler from the South. I know GEJ has been the subject of death threats by Boko Haram, I can't seem to recall his presidential rivals like Buhari being so as well.

Yenagoa is safer than Maiduguri but in a political campaign, it is safer for politicians opposed to GEJ to stage political theatre in a more sympathetic city like Maiduguri than Yenagoa. The reverse will be the case for GEJ.

Nigerian politicians hardly do anything commendable. Whether GEJ campaigns in Maiduguri is irrelevant, I don't think it serves any practical purpose to put your life or the lives of Nigeria's security personnel in additional danger just to stage political theatre. If any shooting occurs while he's visiting, he will be whisked away in a helicopter whilst some poorly equipped and barely paid soldier or policeman is left to face mayhem. It's pointless political theatre that masks the lack of detailed policy initiatives on how to develop and secure the country.
