** Boko Haram: Jonathan Indicts Borno Elders

President Goodluck Jonathan on Friday lost his cool and descended on elders of Borno state over their insistence that the military Joint Task Force (JTF) be withdrawn from the state, following allegation of atrocities committed by the soldiers in revenge of the killingof their members.

Enraged with palpable anger, Jonathan specifically indicted the Borno elders over, saying they are responsible for the escalation of terrorist attacks at the time such attacks were reducing in other states like Gombe, Kano, Bauchi and Yobe which were also worst hit by the insurgence.

"If elders in Borno state cannot talk to members of Boko Haram, their destructive activities would not reduce and nobody would bring such activities down", the president stated vehemently, even as he reminded the elders that it was the circumstances prevailing in the state as well as the sophisticated weapons used by the insurgents that informed the deployment of the JTF to the state.

The elders at a Town Hall meeting in Borno Government House, marking the two day visit to the state and Yobe, had insisted that it was time the JTF left the the state. They include former Vice Chancellor of the University of Maiduguri, Prof. Nura Alkali; elder statesman, Shettima Ali Monguno and the state chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Baba Basharu.

They unanimously contended that there was no alternative to dialogue between the federal government and Boko Haram.

The elders reminded the president that his late boss, President Umaru Musa Yar'adua had granted pardon to the Niger Delta militants before dialogue began between them and the government, just as they queried why similar measure cannot be taken in the case of the Boko Haram.

But Jonathan who challenged them to enter into an agreement with him that the safety of lives and property would be guaranteed if they actually wanted him to order the withdrawal of JTF, warned sternly that if, after this pact, one person in the state was killed again, he would hold the elders responsible.

He said, "Myself and any head of the security agencies do not want to pay one day allowance to anybody. We need that money to other important things that will change the economy of this country. We need that money to fund agriculture and to create wealth across this country including Borno State. We are not happy to be spending so much money in the Niger Delta keeping JTF there. We are not happy to be spending so much money keeping JTF in Borno State and other places. Definitely, we are not. The earlier the better

"In fact, if the elders agree now to come and sign agreement with me that I should move out all the JTF but if anybody dies in Borno State, I will hold them responsible, I will sign and I willmove and I will do it. But don't go to court and ask one court to come and remove you.

"If somebody dies, yes, I will take you. I am going to remove the JTF but come and sign that I will remove the JTF and guarantee the safety of life and property of individuals. When you do that today, today, as I am going, the JTF will start moving to their barracks. But you must guarantee, if anything happens to anybody that you must be held responsible".

"The conclusion is that there are too many bunkers in Maiduguri or in Borno State. Why should the bunkers come? Who wants send bunkers to Borno State. There are too many APCs. Why should there be APCs in Borno State? Who want to send APCs to Borno State?
"You are talking about soldiers. There are some people who areeven saying that the JTF should move out. Who wants to spend money paying allowances of soldiers? For God sake, we needmoney for development. If the circumstances that brought the soldiers are no longer there, that day, they will all leave. That day, they will all leave.

"Let me be very frank because the analogy that oh, when one soldier is killed the soldiers come and kill scores of people; we have always been admonishing that. We always tell the soldiers to conduct themselves because they are doing internal security job that ordinarily soldiers are suppose not to be involved in but because of the calibre of weapons the militants are using, the police alone cannot stand.

"And government will never sit down quietly and wait for insurgents, for some people to take up arms and take a part of this country. Never. Whether it isin the Niger Delta, and I have been giving the directive to security services, I don't want tohear that one soldier is killed in the Niger Delta, I don't want to hear that one security officer is killed in the south east kidnapping, I don't want to hear that one soldier is killed in Borno State or any part of this country

"I cannot preside over this country as a president and my security officers are killed. This people leave their families, stay on the roads and the bush so that we will sleep and I will not want to hear that one of them is killed"

The president however challenged the elders that if they could sign an agreement with him today to take responsibility for lose of any life, he would pull out the JTF immediately.

Pataki: Last year, our doofus president told us Boko Haram would be no more by the end of June 2012. Fast forward to our present day in 2013>>>>>>>>>>> Today is not the first time, this foolish drunkard would be foolishly interpreted as talking tough.

Retardeen, your time is nearly up.


Pretty obvious you are one of them folks that love it when you watch CNN and hear there was a bomb blast. There's been only one blast this year and I know you aren't happy at the improved security scenario. You desperately want Boko Haram to continue bombing till 2015.
But sorry, they've been spent out and thier numbers have dwindled. There are no more bombs and the security situation has improved.
For many families that lived in fear, that is good news. For many GEJ haters, that is bad news.

People like you make laugh. Security has improved? Why not move you and your family to Borno? So easy for you pathetic lot to keep preaching profanities and fanciful stupidity all in the name of marketing the retardeen to Nigeria and Nigerians.

Please spare me the baloney.

Just one question for you my friend Pataki. Have the bombings reduced considerably compared to 2012?? JUST ANSWER YES OR NO?
Re: Breaking News: President Jonathan Talks Tough In Borno by Nobody: 8:13pm On Mar 08, 2013

PapaBrowne......you are more matured in reasoning than this nonsense please.

It is not about reduction but rather eradication. 10 bombs may go off in a day without killing any lives. Whereas a single bomb might be detonated that would destroy 100 of lives. So which one is more deadly?

We should be talking about eradication rather than reduction.

grafikii: Yeah talk tough, slap like 3 of them, come back in 2015 to beg them for their vote. Have you addressed the issue of soldiers molesting innocent citizens
are the pockets of indiscretion so to say more destructive than this regular bombing by the Children of these elders. Shameless elders that cannot call their wards to order or even courageously condemn their activities. What have they coontributed to bring the bombings to an end? They should either sign the undertaking or forever remain silent. Yeye elders!

Well, in as much as I'm aware there are a swam of GEJ apologists and PDP PR pundits on Nairaland, I will still not hesitate to tell you the truth. This Yobe/Borno trip that your Principal Goodluck Jonathan embarked on is a "Copy Cat" infantile endeavour that borders on the brink of lack of innovation and making jest of himself.The people of Borno have witnessed two visits of different leaders in Government and they could tell who among the two groups care and who is just playing to the Gallery. I know this time around, Jonathan's handlers tried to give him some presidential packaging, but it is what it is!Mr President's visit was 13 months late and he has lost serious political points. This his visit is just a "me too" arrogant and insecure political grandstanding. Patience Jonathan should have represented him, at least, there would have been a hue of entertainment to the whole endeavour and people won't be venting their anger by now but laughing their hearts out on the motherly GRAMMATICAL lessons madam would have given to the BOKO HARAM in their absence, because when Patience talks, even Boko Haram look at their stacks of Bombs to check whether they should have improvised better versions!

Just because your tribesman is not in power and a minority tribe is in power, you are ranting here on NL. Bigot! All you people do is insult and rant. But you have no heart, no spine, no liver!

Nobody is cursing or abusing Retardeen Jonathan here. Oya point to any abusive post?

If you call Usain Bolt-fast, Einstein-Smart, Soyinka-Learned and Retardeen Jonathan-Clueless, How is that equal to abuse?

What is wrong with you? I am sure the circuits in your so-called head have gone south tonight. Traitor? You see this is why I call you a doofus. You use words far bigger than your comprehension. Olodo jati jati.

OBJ is a certified monkey. In case you missed my various insults directed at him before on this forum. I dislike oju-yobo of Lagos. Gbawe surely knows about that. Now tell me, who is Retardeen that he cannot be called out according to his foolishness?

You are a CERTIFIED DOOFUS!

Shame on you 100 times! Bigot! Coward! Traitor that can only rant on a public forum! All you people know is how to betray others. Your uncle has already collected money to go and defend the 83% oil block the north allocated themselves! Bigot!

Isnt it funny that 95% of those insulting GEJ are all from a section of the country? And they never insult their criminal leaders? Bigot!

You are outstandingly DAFT! I am wiser than your PhD president.

In respect to the other gobbledygook you typed; son, I don't talk in retardeen language. You are most likely a primary school drop-out. I last read this kind of write-ups as yours in my primary school days.
