Excellent input. Those of us in the ND knows that MEND are criminals. The last set of people that trully fought for the emancipation of ND are the late saro wiwa and colleagues. These ones coming after them are rogues.

berem: Buhari don fall my hand! No one in his right senses should compare Boko Haram to Niger Delta Militancy. NEVER!
Buhari has not compared BokoHaram with Nigerdelta Militancy(as the headline capped it).......He only says Both struggle are all form of ''Insecurity'' which the Federal Government should know how/why it(militancy/terrorism) occured and how to ''mellow'' them down.....!!!

He said there can't be progress in the economy when there is insecurity......!!!


When one read the article with unbiased mind,one shd get my above post....!!!


BokoHaram and MEND are completely different in terms of Ideology and Operation.....But Both constitute ''INSECURITY''......!!!!

Phool......u are really daffft.
Again I reinstate that the last set of people that effortlessly fought in truth and indeed for their people and land are the late saro wiwa and his colleagues of blessed memory.
All those after them so far are thieves, killers and murderers deceiving folks that they are fighting for them but scandalously enriching themselves at the detriment of the same improverished people..

Experts in the field say "one man's nationalism is another's terrorism, one man's terrorism is another man's nationalism".

MEND's activities was clearly born of nationalism, exploitation & communal degradation was resisted. Does BH want compensation for their slain leader? Is the war against corrupt practices by d govt & injustice by security personnels? Traits of nationalism isn't found in the activities of BH.
Even MEND they masked their faces during aggression, they unmasked during peace talks. Elsewhere, the identities of ppl fighting for a cause have always been known. BH refuses to unmask. This is not bravery but cowardice.

The civilians that were killed when MEND struck was collateral damage, they were not main targets. BH targets unsuspecting, unarmed civilians going abt their daily activities.

So no sir, IMV MEND & BH are not same. Only that they both carried arms.

The problem with most of you is that you are products of a failed educational system and have also failed to improve yourselves.



http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Militant


Buhari is talking about the underlying factor that motivates both terrorism and miltancy in Nigeria.they are product of a failed government and failed economy.

Well some people try to justify militancy simply because they don't attack fellow Nigerians but these same groups attack,kidnap, kill foreigners and sabotage government installations .Don't they cause havoc one way or the other ? Hamas used to be a militant group but when it couldn't get what it wanted,it started attacking Israel.

Before amnesty was granted,Rivers state was almost grounded by the activities of militant groups who launched attacks,kidnap and killed people at will.The context of militancy and terrorism encompass an ideology which involved a group of persons agitating for control of a part of the nation involving arms struggle solely to OVERTHROW the central government by instigating widespread acts of violence among the populace.

Surprisingly,the Niger delta militants have better weaponry and more sophisticated than boko haram yet we assumed that they were the lesser of two evils simply because they are killing foreigners and sabotaging Nigeria economy.

I agree with your point, some of us allow sentiments to cloud our power of logical deductions.
First of all, Buhari is in the opposition, so what do you expect from him, if not criticise the Gov. like any other in the position of opposition?

Secondly, what he said could not be far from the truth; which was security is the responsibility of the government and he went on to question the manner at which this government has been handling the matter. He and some people (mainly from the North and some Southerners too) see the issue of amnesty as a viable option to the problem and further more saw similarities in the principles involved in granting MEND same.

As a Southerner living in the North I have come to appreciate what some of their leaders are saying. You need to see the number of innocent civilians caught in between the BH and JTF, many are being killed and maimed by both sides, what is worse is that the longer it takes the more the consequences of the extraJudicial killing is winning the terrorists more converts.
Some are innocent people who would never have contemplated Joining; but end up aligning with the terrorists simply to take revenge against the enforcement agents for killing their loved ones (this phenomenon happens also elsewhere e.g. Iraq, Afghanistan due to mishandling by soldiers and a failure to win the hearts & minds of the local population they were sent to save).

The longer this thing continues the more it is likely to spread beyond the North and engulf all of us. Government tactics of brute force has so far failed, its time to consider other options; I am therefore not against amnesty if that will bring to us peace.

Please let us think with heads not our hearts.

Let me give you a chance despite your shortcoming. . .what is the difference between terrorism and insurgency ? Can't you guys just tell us the difference instead of bitching about his person here ?


Earlier it was the word "dummy" now it is "bitching", why do you always like abusive/derogatory words even when they are not necessary? You can do better I am sure. Why fight over the words militancy, terrorism and insurgency? That's not important. The argument is on: No Difference between Boko Haram and Niger Delta Militants/Terrorists/Insurgents!

Boko Haram claim they are against western education, but do you know their identity, their real demands, their location? You cannot deny knowing the identity of the niger delta militants, their location, their demands. To make this difference outstanding, the boko haram boys use SUICIDE BOMBERS.

Bluetooth, are you certain there is no difference between these two groups? We must have an open mind to be able to make unbiased contribution to any topic; who we dislike or like for whatever reasons must NOT come to play.

By thy word u shall know them.
Buhari has always shown how incompetent he is from the way he addresses issues and I have categorically concluded that Buhari is amongst the God father and sponsors of boko-haram.

Niger Delta militants had their course well defined, their leaders were known, they knew what they stood for and fought for it.

The countries wealth is greatly dependant on them and yet they were treated like they don't matter, they were not recognized probably because they were neither in the west nor north.
The government never listened or cared to when it was more like peaceful demonstrations from the N/D instead they were seen as been weak and the likes of Ken Saro-Wiwa were killed for agitating for what they think is their right.
Can this ever happen in the North?

We already know what the boko-haram stood for. They've vowed to frustrate Jonathan's government and that they are doing. The so called ''Northerners strong men'' are just been selfish and devilish, they have the highest reign in power, benefited more from this country, the most influential in the country and still yet they ain't satisfied.

Buhari is a losser and those that believe in him should start to have a re-think 'cos this man can't just be of any good to this nation instead to the glory of the north.

I am one of those who think Buhari would make a better president. I am not going to lie that I am not disappointed reading his opinion about boko haram because I am CERTAIN there is a BIG DIFFERENCE between the Niger Delta and Boko Haram militants.

For me, God speaks, reveals things, in diverse ways and it is left to me to discern and make my decisions from there.

utumunta: Would d heavens fall if Buhari had said dat "d boko haram insurgence is a national problem that requires all hands on deck to solve it" ?
1960 men in 2013, how do u expect them to function properly? It is dissappointing dat many youths follow nd sing praises of men like ds. Buhari nd GEJ shall continue to progress in error as long as sentiment cloud our reason.To narrow the 2015 election to these two men shows we ar out of options.
Boko haram is a creation of d long years of neglect of northern Nig by their elites . The elites are realising ds fact bt instead of tackling d matter head-on, have shifted d blame(as usual) to the F.G via amnesty.
No need to cry over spilt milk, i foresee a French-like revolution in d north. The ruling class will tumble down at d end .

that's just the simple truth here,since from the 1st coup 2 d last coup,it has always been the Northerners and they couldn't develop their place upon their long rule of terror,now they r all crying as if it was GEJ that created the Almajiri that are mainly use as foot soldiers of BOKO HARAM,if they r pple that shld be blame here, is the Selfish Northern leaders who saw religion as an avenue/weapon which they used in impoverishing their pple academically n otherwise and now instead of looking inward,they r using politics to shield their evil deeds.
when education was made important in the southern part of the country especially the west,,what were d northern leaders during even while they were in power? rather it was religion they gave importance 2..they must champion the fight cuz they created BOKO HARAM period!!! the underdevelopment in the North is created he northerners cuz they have been ruling this country since if that's actually what boko haram is fighting 4..
