On point.

Those of us here in the south or abroad can sit down, read newspapers and type epistles on nairaland largely spewing the half truths & propaganda we have read & its easy to almost call for the total anihilation of the region since many of us are still under the delusion that the north is solely responsible for the country's problems (forgetting that most of the roads and monuments we see around today -which we the 'southerners' are STRUGGLING to maintain- were built while these 'abokis' were in power).

We forget that there are human beings like us resident in that north.

Talk to those in the North. Then you will understand why boko haram is a national problem which is continuously being mishandled.

I spoke recently with a southerner who is based in the north (a peaceful area tho, apparently) & he told me things . The part about wanton executions of innocent men, women & children by the millitary is VERY true according to him & they still go on till date & that is why the violence keeps increasing. A lot of these things are apparently kept quiet.

These boko guys target anything. They are not concerned with your religion. Their motive is to spread destruction & render that place totally useless. Both muslims & xtians are living under seige from these guys, especially the muslims who also have to contend with the harrassment & sometimes summary execution by the security forces. Lots of innocent people are still locked up in prisons for no reason at all! The people cant move freely, no factories, few businesses, poverty everywhere.

Let us reason: how can someone tell you that he's killing people because he wants them to accept islam?? By the time he kills all the xtians, shey na dead body go accept islam??

I too support millitary action against these guys, but the millitary action must be precise & right on target or else as we've been seeing, the problem will keep getting bigger. You don't kill ordinary civillians on the road & come out to say you killed boko haram members. The boko guys will come and show you that you didn't kill them! You don't imprison innocent people and expect these same innocent people to risk their lives (boko boys will be after them) & come to tell you where the boko guys are. You do not say you are fighting for me & still be fighting against me.

As rightly pointed out, boko haram will have lots of splinter groups that even the leader may have no control over. Eventually, some wil want to dialogue while some will still feel they are doing Allah a favour (which they are not or else xtians, budhists, jews e.t.c will have long since been wiped out).

Allah himself has said in the Qur'an that if He had willed, he would have created us all to have the same religion but He intentionally didnt do so, so that we may strive among ourselves in good deeds & that he may test us based on what was revealed to us (Q5:48).

Allah has also commanded that muslims are supposed to even DEFEND and PROTECT xtians in times of war! All these are contained in the same Quran where people misquote their deadly verses from.

Let us leave religion aside tho & concentrate on the matter.

The Government really needs to use the carrot and stick approach here. Dialogue should NOT be completely ruled out if we are indeed sincere about ending this problem.
The security forces should be called to order & be told to exercise some level of restraint in their ''Shoot first, ask questions later'' approach because it is becoming counter-productive.

Also i think it has become apparent that a lot of violence being perpetrated in the north may have nothing to do with BH. Even the BH guys i suspect will be up for highest bidder.

Our country sent troops to mali, now how secure are our borders? What stops the Mali insurgents from coming into Nigeria? Does the FG even know if Abubakar Shekau is a Nigerian


The BH sponsors GEJ said are in his govt, when is he going to unmask them?

Btw, anyone still saying stuffs like Buhari is behind bokoharam is probably high on soak-away Poo (i hear some people in these war zones get high on it! No kidding), however, everybody can say his /her own, what matters is the truth. Whose responsibility is it to find the truth and reveal it? The Government. Talk about power, roads, food e.t.c., we can share that with the govt, but providing NATIONAL SECURITY? That's like the chief responbility & almost the EXCLUSIVE preserve of the GOVERNMENT.

This terrorist group jumped to the forefront of the battle against Islamist terrorists in North Africa, when it kidnapped a French family from Cameroon. But who is this group? How did it start? And what role did Nigeria’s faction fighting have in its emergence? Here are 10 facts about Boko Haram.

Who is Boko Haram?

Boko Haram is the name of a large Islamist group fighting in northern Nigeria. Its aim is to establish an independent Islamic state under Sharia law. But this is only partially accurate. The group’s proper name is Jamā'atu Ahlis Sunnah Lādda'awatih wal-Jihad (People Committed to the Propagation of the Prophet's Teachings and Jihad). ‘Boko Haram’ was a dismissive name given by neighbours of the sect in its early years and means “Western Education Is Forbidden” in the Hausa language; alluding to the group’s hard-line belief that Western ideas, particularly from British colonialism, have turned Muslims away from the virtues of Islam.

How Boko Haram Got Started

The group originally formed in 2002 as a breakaway sect that eventually moved to a rural village, where it planned to run its own Sharia-based society. A conflict over fishing rights there soon involved the police, who were disarmed by the sect. Nigeria’s military cracked down brutally, killing most of the group. The survivors regrouped and started a new Islamic order, which grew thanks to broad unemployment and the charismatic leadership of Mohammed Yusuf.

Boko Haram Takes Its Gloves Off

In 2009 the group became more radical - Yusuf ordered the assassination of a critical local Muslim cleric. Another confrontation with police led to a riot and brutal state crackdown, leaving Yusuf and many followers dead. But the group soon emerged again, this time under the leadership of Yusuf’s right-hand man Abubakar Shekau. The event also saw members make contact with other Islamist groups, who helped train and arm the sect. Their violent retribution was soon blanketed by media and politicians as under Boko Haram

North/South Frictions

The Islamism of Boko Haram is just a part of the story. Nigeria suffers from incredible factional fighting, particularly between the North and South [b](YES INCREDIBLE KILLING SPREES MAINLY AND ONLY IN THE NORTH . THE FIRST OF WHICH WAS IN 1953 WHEN A MEMBER OF THE NIGERIAN PARLIAMENT FROM THE MID-WEST MR. ENAHORO MOVED A MOTION FOR NIGERIA TO BECOME AN INDEPENDENT SOVEREIGN NATION THIS SINGULAR ACT SPARKED THE KILLING OF OVER 2000 CHRISTIANS FROM THE SOUTH LIVING IN THE NORTH UNTIL THE COLONIAL POLICE INTERVENED. THESE KILLINGS OF SOUTHERNERS CONTINUED IN THE NORTH LONG AFTER THE CIVIL WAR & IS STILL ONGOING AT EVERY INTERVALS OF 5 YEARS AT LEAST 500 LIVES MUST BE LOST TO ISLAMIC IDEOLOGICALLY PROPELLED MASS ACTIONS. THE ONLY TIME ANY PART OF THE SOUTH ACTUALLY FOUGHT OR KILLED ANYBODY FROM THE NORTH AND SOUTH WEST WAS DURING THE WAR AGAINST THE IGBOS AND SOME SOUTHERN MINORITIES 1967 TO 1970 COS THE LATER WANTED TO FORM THEIR OWN NATION BIAFRA TO CURB THE REGULAR UNPROVOKED GENOSIDE OF THEIR KIT & KIN ESPECIALLY IN THE NORTH. DESPITE ALL THESE ATTACKS IN WHATEVER GUISE OF SOUTHERN XTIANS IN THE NORTH THERE HAS NEVER EVER BEEN A REPRISAL ATTACK OF ANY KIND BY THE SOUTHERNER ON NORTHERNERS LIVING IN THEIR REGION TILL DATE )[/b] The North was an Islamic state since the early 19th century (SOME PARTS OF THE SO CALLED NORTH WHERE ISLAMIC STATES HOWEVER THE ORIGINAL INDIEGENES OF STATES LIKE GOMBE,BAUCHI,KADUNA,PLATEAU,NASARAWA,BENUE WERE AND STILL ARE CHRISTIANS BUT BECAUSE THE COLONIAL MASTERS LOVED THE HAUSAS THEY RE-LOCATED HAUSA ENMASS TO THESE AREAS AND MADE THEM RULERS OVER THESE OTHER NATIONS EVEN AS IS THE CASE IN THE LARGER NATION NIGERIA.) - this changed when the British forced the two parts into a single colony during the early 1900s[b](THIS WAS THE AMALGAMATION OF THE ALREADY RELIGIOUSLY MIXED NORTHERN AND SOUTHERN PROTECTORATES)[/b]. A major flashpoint is between the northern Islamic Fulani and southern Christian Berom tribes (BEROM TRIBE OF PLATEAU STATE ARE NOT SOUTHER XTIANS THEY ARE BETTER CALLED NORTHERN CHRISTIANS COS THERE WHERE A PART OF NOTHERN NIGERIA EVEN THOUGH THEY SEEK TO LIBERATE THEIR NATION FROM NORTHERN MUSLIM OLIGARCHY JUST AS OTHER SO CALLED NORTHER XTIAN NATIONS. THE FLASH POINT FOR THE FRICTION BETWEEN BEROM AND THEIR HAUSA FULANI EX-PATRONS WAS IN 2001 WHEN OBJ ATTEMPTED TO OR MADE AN HUASA/FULANI THE HEAD OT THE NAPEP PROGRAME IN PLATEAU STATE BUT THE BEROM VIVIDLY RESISTED THIS IMPOSITION AND FORCED A BEROM IN THE PLACE OF THE HAUSA/FULANI AS NAPEP HEAD FOR THE STATE. THIS SINGULAR MOVE OUTRAGE THEIR EX-PATRON WHO PROMISED TO DISTRY THE STATE JUST AS CHIROMA PROMISED NIGERIANS. THEN ON FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 7 2001 AFTER THE MOSQUE PRAYERS THE HAUSA/FULANI MUSLIMS FLOODED THE STREET AND BLOOD FLOWED FREELY SINCE THEY HAVE ALWAY ENSURED IT HAS NOT CEASED TO FLOW AS THE BEROM WOULD RESIST) . The Berom have been accused of attacking the Fulani with government assistance, including cannibalism (THE BEROM HAVE CRIED NONE STOP FOR THE GOVERNMENT JTF TOP BE WITHDRAMN FROM THE PLATEAU COS DESPITE THE GOVERNMENT SECURITY PRESENCE THEIR CHILDREN ,WOMEN AND BABIES ARE KILLED REULARLY IN VILLAGE RAIDS BY HAUSA/FULANI GUNMEN THE REPORTED CASE OF CANNIBALISM IS FALSE AS WE ARE YET TO SEE EVIDENCE OF THIS HATEFUL PROPANGANDA). There were also the Jos riots(JOS RIOTS ARE SAME AS BEROM RIOTS), centring around a Nigerian city in the middle of the country - this escalated to a conflict between 2001 and 2004 that left over 50,000 people dead. Such events have often been cited by Boko Haram leadership as justification for its own brutal campaigns (IN JOS YES BUT IN MADUGURI AND NIGER IT IS WAR AGAINST XTIANS AND THE MOVEMENT TO ISLAMISE NIGERIA, WHILE THE EUROPEANS KILLED WAS WAR AGAINST THE WEST).

The Role Of Nigeria’s Police And Military

Though Boko Haram has plenty of blood on its hands, many also blame the police and military for adding to the fire(YOU MEAN THE POLICE AND MILITARY IN THOSE HOT-BEDS SHOULD JUST DIE WITHOUT A FIGHT? ). During the 2009 crackdown, the sect’s leader Mohammed Yusuf was dead within hours of his capture - police claim he was shot while escaping, but evidence suggest he was executed. The police and military also executed dozens of people without trial, often on the flimsy accusations of other religious groups which would usually get the slain person’s property as a reward. In other words, it turned into a witch hunt. Both police and military forces have been accused of torture and executions across Nigeria - from Niger Delta militants in the South to Northern sects like Boko Haram. Women and children have not been spared and the guilt of a person is rarely determined. The forces are also known for being very corrupt and police chiefs running their own fiefdoms are not uncommon(YES SOME POLICE OFFICER ARE REALLY INHUMAN IMAGINE ESCORTED A TERRORIST ACCUSED OF BOMBING A CHURCH WITH A 50 COUNT CHILDREN WOMEN AND MEN DEATHTOLL RECORDED OUT TO FREEDOM THIS TERRORIST IS CALLED KABIRU SOKOTO WHO HAS SAID FAROUK ABDULMUTTALAB WAS HIS MENTOR).

The Role Of Nigeria’s Government

Though Nigeria’s government has cast itself as a hapless victim of Islamic terrorism, it is anything but. Prosecutions of security forces committing murder and torture are practically non-existent. Political opportunism is also quite common: Nigeria’s president, Goodluck Jonathan, has often accused Boko Haram of being strongly tied to groups such as al-Qaeda, a claim that until recently has been false. He has used this as a means to convince countries such as the U.S. and Britain to send financial aid, downplaying the significant role regional politics have played in forming such factions (YOU ARE WRONG AS USUAL. IT IS THE OTHER WAY ROUND http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-18542030 ). Jonathan has also repeatedly accused the power elite in Nigeria’s north of controlling Boko Haram, even though experts agree that this is a complete fabrication. Political rivals have been arrested under flimsy charges that they were tied to the Islamists( THERE IS THIS SERVING NATIONAL HOUSE OF REPS MEMBER CALLED HUSSAIN DEI DEI A CPC\APC STRONG MAN FROM KADUNA STATE HE WAS FOUND WITH IMPROVISED EXPLOSIVE DEVICES USED IN BLOWING UP CHURCHES AND ATTEMPTING TO BLOW UP MOSQUE ALONG WITH SOPHISTICATED CATCH OF LETHAL ARMS/WEAPON INSHORT THIS MAN IS AN AMOURY FOR BOKOHARAM, ANOTHER IS SENATOR NDUME FROM BORNO WAS ROPED IN AS AN ACCOMPLICE OF BOKO HARAM AS HE PROVIDED THEM WITH PRIVILEGED CONTACT INFORMATION AND GUESS WHAT HE SIDE THE VP SAMBO WAS IN ON IT HOLD ON THE LIST IS ENDLESS BUT I WILL LIST ONE MORE IN THE PERSON OF SERVING SENATOR BAMA OF BORNO IN WHO'S HOUSE A DREADED BOKO HARAM WAS TRACED AND TRACKED DOWN TO AHMODU SHARIFFS ANPP 4MER GOVERNOR OF BORNO HOUSE WITH ALL THESE NAME YOU CAN SEE WITH JONATHAN.

The Crimes Of Boko Haram

Boko Haram, though, is no saintly organisation (THE WORD SAINT IN THE SAME SENTENCE WITH THE NAME BOKO HARAM IS LIKE THE WORD PIG IN THE SAME SENTENCE WITH I***M). Its hard-line views have led to many attacks and executions. The group targets Christians and Muslims alike , though it has a special liking for attacking police and military forces. These attacks have occurred several times a week, if not daily, since 2010. It has also killed children and blown up schools, not to mention medical personnel, religious buildings, sports venues, people playing cards games - the list goes on. The group does not limit its forms of violence either: kidnappings, car bombs, suicide bombers, drive-by shootings and beheadings all form part of its repertoire. But the biggest problem is distinguishing between violence orchestrated by Boko Haram and other factions.(YOU ARE FOOL OF LIES AND SEEKING AMNESTY FOR TERRORIST)

Who Is and Isn’t Boko Haram?

Practically every bombing, gun attack and kidnapping is attributed to Boko Haram by Nigeria’s government. In reality it is not so clear-cut. For example, a foiled plot to bomb a church turned out not to be by the group, but by a rival Christian faction. Likewise, Boko Haram has not claimed responsibility for some kidnappings and events such as the recent execution of polio vaccinators. Criminal gangs have also used Boko Haram to disguise their own illegal activities. Late last year the group Human Rights Watch estimated that nearly 3,000 people have died in this conflict since 2009, yet noted that state security forces were as responsible for executions as Boko Haram. Several splinter Islamist groups have also surfaced, orchestrating attacks that are usually pinned on Boko Haram without any proof.

Going To War With The West

The Islamist sect has largely not targeted Western interests - Boko Haram has been violently active in Nigeria since 2009, but only rose to international attention when it bombed a U.N. building in 2011. Since then its focus on non-Nigerian targets have largely been kidnappings, of which there have been several. Most recently a French family was abducted by the group and in 2011 its fighters captured two British and Italian men - both died when British special forces tried to rescue them. The group has also been linked to the kidnapping or murders of French, German, Chinese and Indian foreigners. But despite claims to the contrary, Boko Haram’s links with other Islamist terror groups only became galvanised when French forces entered Mali. Since then the group has placed a lot more focus on international targets.(I DONT HAVE TIME FOR THIS!!!!!!)

A Chance For Peace?

One thing that almost universally agreed on is that there is no chance that Boko Haram and Nigeria’s government will make peace. Setting aside the decades of ill-will felt by the country’s North towards the South, Nigeria’s rulers are not making it easy. In 2012 a cleric mediating talks between the sect and government withdrew, accusing the government of insincerity. Boko Haram, though a singular large group, is also very disparate. Organised into numerous cells, there is no guarantee that what one part of the group agrees to will be supported by the rest. Last year a Boko Haram commander proposed peace talks with the government, but nothing came of this because there was no indication that he spoke for the entire organisation.(ANYONE WHO BUY YOU GARBAGE IS A TERROR APOLOGIST)

This are some trash that really annoy me. You guys quote your quran and yet do the opposite. Are you defending boko haram or what? It is Gej it is the millitary bla bla bla. How about standing up clearly to say it is boko haram and it is evil instead qouting things from the same quran they quote which one do we belive?. Actions they say speaks louder than words and boko boys seem to be doing all d action for islam in Nigeria.

Find Out!:



I suggest you read my post again, more carefully this time around so you'll realise i hate boko haram even more than you do. Now, y'all keep saying muslims don't condemn bokoharam, seriously, do you guys pretend not to hear or see news reports of muslim leaders condemning these killings? or do you immediately fall asleep when you hear of muslims killed by boko haram? Go and as, muslim clerics who condemned boko haram's ideology were among the first victims that were killed by the sect. And it has not stopped. You hear of drive by shootings almost weekly, go and ask how many of those people are xtians.
Some of you just enjoy viewing everything from a tribal / religious lens, and unfortunately, hypocrisy is usually at the root of these things.

In essence, you assume BH's actions are a representation of what muslims truly want? or muslims endorse it? you must be kidding me. I say go and ask those muslims in the north how they are faring before you come back to spew rubbish. Did Islam just get into the country in 2009? Why do we still have indigenous hausa xtians living in the north? why do we have muslims in western countries? You honestly think islam is about bloodshed and war? i won't attempt to educate you, however i respectfully implore you to apply your sense of reasoning and aso seek knowledge about certain things before making careless statements.

And as regards GEJ, he is THE PRESIDENT OF NIGERIA which last time i checked includes the north. He wasnt voted there just to be flying multiple private jets and be eating 1 billion naira food for him to keep telling us he's on top of the situation. The buck, especially when it comes to national security, stops at his table. The problem is that nigerians are so used to getting little from their leaders that we don't even know the things we are supposed to demand from them. infact, we encourage them to be lazy and they happily oblige us.

I am against boko haram just as any good muslim should be, and I feel the government needs to stop playing politics with this matter and tackle the issue headlong with a view to stopping the carnage as soon as possible whilst remembering that safety of the lives and properties of innocent nigerians irrespective of tribe or religion is their primary concern.

goldylock:

Like seriously? Who are the clerics condeming boko haram? Sheik Gummi? Or is it the sultan that insists that they be given amnesty? You muslims know how to speak tongue in cheek. D last I heard of drive by killings in Kano[b] they were 13 christians[/b] plus the other four killed on Sunday not to mention the headmaster of a school in komboso LGA in Kano who is most probably a christian. A wise man once said ask not what your country will do for you but what you can do for your country what are muslims doing for Nigeria? Leave GEJ to eat or drink 1 billion Naira food and drop cup. We know why muslims are disgruntled its becos they are sore losers go and ask Babangida Abacha and even your so called saint Buhari how much they used on food. Abeggi make I hear word muslims don't like boko haram indeed.

Nigerian police station bombed in 'Boko Haram' attack

Gunmen believed to be members of Islamist sect fire on police station in city of Kano, where 185 people died in attacks last week

Suspected members of the radical Boko Haram Islamist sect attacked a police station in the Nigerian city of Kano on Tuesday – the city in which its co-ordinated attacks killed at least 185 people last week.

According to witnesses, gunmen surrounded the police station, in the Sheka neighbourhood.

They ordered civilians at shops and homes surrounding the station to get off the streets and began chanting "God is great" as they threw homemade bombs into the station and fired guns into the building.

No one immediately claimed responsibility for the attack, which followed the pattern of others carried out by Boko Haram, including the use of improvised explosives.

On Wednesday, the prison cells of the station stood open and blood could be seen on the floor of the local commander's private bathroom. Investigative files, apparently rifled through, covered the floors, and youths outside waved an officer's uniform.

[size=18pt]A crowd of cheering youths jumped up and down on top of a burned-out police truck. Others in the crowd, speaking in the local Hausa language, said they would kill any police officer who returned. Some asked journalists visiting the site whether they were Christians.[/size] (perhaps to slaughter them too)

Boko Haram, whose name means "western education is sacrilege" in Hausa, wants to implement strict Sharia law and avenge the deaths of Muslims in communal violence across Nigeria, a multi-ethnic nation of more than 160 million people split largely into a Christian south and Muslim north.

Clarifications indeed. I laugh. I think it is really obvious to even an UNBIASED and SINCERE christian with a good sense of reasoning, who exactly it is that is posting trash.

I've given you an assignment already - Speak to someone, anyone, resident in the north & is familiar with happenings there. Also, google up past news articles about muslims condemning BH (tho i suspect your own google would obviously not come up with any results).

When you are willing to state facts, apply logical reasoning and offer unemotional (even if opposing) opinions on this matter, i'll be glad to engage you in a discussion as we all have limited knowledge & are supposed to constantly gain more from others.

Lastly, STOP HATING. It won't do you any good.

omeiz93: Please, writer take note of this, you said Boko Haram is an Hausa language, you are far frm d truth, Boko Haram means western Education is a sin, in Arabic language and not in Hausa.

johnsluv: Am new here....you guys should welcome me!

Since when did Boko become a word in Arabic? Oh well we can't be all too sure since Arabs and Hausas are now one and the same Islam is synonymous to them and we all know what Islam is synonymous with.

I can go on and on.

I don't hate dear I only speak the truth and I know it is a bitter pill for you to swallow but the earlier you and the rest of your people accept it n stop speaking tonge in cheek the better for everyone.

Goldy sweetie, [s]i'm falling in like with you o, hope you are pretty and not as naughty as you are displaying here [/s] you see, by the 1st bolded, you have clearly justified my stand on the origins of this boko issue. i ask you, when the north was "home" i.e. peaceful i presume, where there no muslims in the north?? Did Islam just get to the north?? Look, you can insult islam all you want but the truth is that Islam does not condone offensive violence. That is just the truth & the only way you'll understand this is if you study islam with an unbiased mind.

Believe me when i tell you that extremists (there's a reason they are called extremists) who commit all sorts of crimes in the name of Islam have misunderstood and deliberately ignored parts of the Qurán. There's a reason why the word Islam is derived from an arabic word which means peace. There's a reason why the Qurán is the greatest book ever to be revealed to mankind containing facts that scientists are only just discovering now. There's a reason why people in Europe, US are accepting Islam. & learn to distinguish between the actions some adherents of a religion practice & what the religion actually teaches. There are verses in the Qurán that if i quote them for you', you'll be very surprised they are in the book, whereas, they are there. Seriously babe, Islam truly means peace. Do not castigate the religion based pon the actions of a few bad eggs.

If you choose to keep attacking islam, well, continue deriving your satisfaction (if any) from doing so.

You asked a question earlier "What have muslims done for nigeria?" That question is to say the least, senseless (no offence). Even if it was a muslim who asked me what have christians done in Nigeria, or a yoruba man asking what an igbo man has done in nogeria, its still a senseless question. There are christians i respect and admire and i know there are some muslims who have made huge impact in the lives of several christians. We are all human beings and both muslims and xtians believe we will one day stand before God for judgement. So why the hate? I do not make wild disparaging comments on christianity despite the fact that I'm convinced islam is the one true religion. It would be unfair for anyone to assume homo..sex.uxal.ity is condoned by the bible simply because religious leaders who probably know the entire Bible off hand are indulging in it.

Again, we are all humans and we have different characters which may well be dissociated from our religious beliefs. Get that.

Goldylocks dear, I hope this has effectively PUT PAID to your assertions that muslims dont comdemn boko haram. See why I said you were hating.
