Dr Sadik Magaji: All I can see is tribalism and illiteracy over here! U were all educated to be rich and not to be happy that's the reason why you are more concerned about the price of things and not their value!!!! I know tho Mod will hide this as soon as he can! The fact!

.....and you 4got to show how detribalised and literate you are!!! What pity.

Gen Buhari is right. Both groups employ the use violence and kill innocent people. Today, our president would defend MEND, tomorrow he would say BH are in his govt and next tomorrow he would say that they're ghosts. To those people expressing disappointments here over the comment: has militancy in the Niger delta achieved their aim? Then, why did they dump their "struggle for better Niger Delta" for individual personal benefits. Like terrorists, like militants, like kidnappers.

ikeyman00: @@@@@

fg gov did this and that

boko haram is pdp bra bra bra

any more

rubbish!

boko evil is the consequence of hatefulness and wickedness of the life style in the north

when miss world was gonna take place in naija; where were the northern hypocrites. U and me knew wat happened then

with all the killing that has been going on even before boko get so bad where were these bbastards

now u lot have come out to tell us Mend that barely kill their hostage or even blow up masses is the same as boko

u lots are sick and very sick

every body knew that as long as the hypocrite keep limping when the tables turns the other way it will be deadly; so why all of a sudden the wolves are out to cry eh

in da north we dnt exercised irresponsible act dat was y da miss world nonsence dint hold

^^^^ to be frank im speechless

i will leave it up to nlers

u lots decide

in da north we dnt exercised irresponsible act dat was y da miss world nonsence dint hold

well for now

Gen. Buhari once told us that they were 3 types of Boko Haram. Which group is he seeking amnesty for? The post-election crisis resulted in the escalation of the activities of Boko Haram. He failed to condemn them & he is now blaming the government. Terrorist activities persist in a community because the people believe in the ideology. The issue here is islamization of the country esp. the North. The General has lost my support. He believes in their ideology & he is afraid to say so.

Great lie Buhari. I use to respect you before now, but with this singular comment, you don't worth being even a father.
How can you even compare Boko Haram & freedom fighters like Niger Delta Militant, that are defending their resources. Whom did they killed in the church, mosque, market place & schools?
BH is demonic and evil.

hadizadeezy: in da north we dnt exercised irresponsible act dat was y da miss world nonsence dint hold

You mean in the North you exercise hypocrisy rather?

1Dray:

You mean in the North you exercise hypocrisy rather?

if u undastood me u wuldnt av made dis coment,,,try and undastand b4 u tok owkk....and if i may ask wat do u mean ''hypocrisy''?i blive u dnt knw d meanin of dat word

maasoap: Gen Buhari is right. Both groups employ the use violence and kill innocent people.

PROPONENTS OF STORIES THEY WERE TOLD (WITHOUT USING THIER BRAIN TO THINK) WILL NEVER BORDER TO ANSWER SUCH A QUESTION.
SINCE TOMPOLO, BOYLOAF AND OTHERS ARE WINNING MULTI-MILLION DOLLARS CONTRACT FROM GOVT, THEIR STRUGGLE HAD BEEN ACHIEVED.
SINCE THE BOYS ARE SENT TO SCHOOLS IN GHANA, AND OVERSEAS, THEIR UNSELFISH AIM IS ALREADY ACHIEVED.
FOR YOUR INFORMATION, ALL NIGER DELTANS ALREADY LIVES IN GLASS HOUSES.
THAT IS WHAT UNSELFISH STRUGGLES BRINGS. LIBERATION TO A PEOPLE.

^^^^ the same way the hypocrites up in the north has ran riot for over 40 years in nigeria

so anymore excuses

by the way when was the last time mend blow up mosques and churches

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.

Who is this illiterate Bluetooth person sef insulting the sensibilities of forum members!

(1) You stated that Buhari was talking about the underlying factor that motivates both terrorism and miltancy in
Nigeria that they are product of a failed government and failed economy. Is it only in the Northern Nigeria that
the govt and economy have failed?
(2) You also said some people try to justify militancy in the ND. They do this simply because they have a legitimate
and well defined course and the whole world empathized with their grieviances including the US. So tell us what is
the grieviance of Boko Haram? To Islamize Nigeria?
(3) You also tried to defined "The context of militancy and terrorism encompass as 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." So who did what you defined
above,Boko Haram or Niger Delta Militants?
(4) You said "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." So how did that translate into bombing of churches and mosque while killing innocent people that know
nothing about the so called failed educational and economic system.

My friend, stop all the crap you have been saying all along, call a spade a spade. Its the likes of you that encourage this BH guys to do more instead of condemning them.

Even the so called Buhari was among those named by the BH guys to represent them to negotiate with FG but the declined the offer. Who knows if he had accepted the offer, the bombings and killings would have drastically reduced by now if not eradicated.

The solution is simple, let their leaders come out and the FG will negotiate with them. Buhari is not even intelligent enough nor has a clue to the solution. He could not profer an answer to the menace but simply pouring blames on FG.

Tell us you solution, Bluetooth!

i wonda how pple tink,,,,,,dis guys are local terorist dat av turned into a national terorist due to da negligence of our so called leaders....y ar u ppl pointin unclean fingas to d north??plllllssssss tinkk b4 u post

@@@

bluetooth never make sense

ochukoccna:
And Ebele Jonathan is what?
The new Einstein on the block
Buhari is not an orator nor very coherent when speaking but creek Joe trumps him by far when talking about who's daft and who s not

Your post made me laugh but the reverse is the case!

Gen.Buhari is wrong because the two scenarios are two different things so they are incomparable. one is fighting for a just cause while the other is fighting for unjust cause.

basadenet: Gen.Buhari is wrong because the two scenarios are two different things so they are incomparable. one is fighting for a just cause while the other is fighting for unjust cause.

After Amnesty, what has changed in the Niger delta?

Just cause or their pockets?

nwabobo:

Stop talking nonsense! Who should Federal Government grant amnesty to? In the days of Niger Delta militancy, we knew Asari Dokubo, we knew Tompolo, we knew Boyloaf, Okah and the rest of them.

How can a sane human being compare Boko Haram to MEND? Can you name 3 Boko haram leaders?

You want to discuss politics with Berem? hahahahahaha. My brother go and do something worthwhile with your time because Berem knows little or nothing about Naija politics

For_Now:

Who is this illiterate Bluetooth[font=Lucida Sans Unicode][/font] person sef insulting the sensibilities of forum members!

He is the official DUNCE of Nairaland!

Buhari is right; What is the difference between Henry oka and kabiru sokoto?

Ask average Northerners and they will tell you.
If not that they are in support stylishly how come our JTF is finding it difficult. Don't sit in lagos and tell me that Boko haram is forcing religious on them....who might tell.
Sharia to average Hausa is a way of life...dont judge from afar.
Meanwhile, did fighting against marginalization also mean you should kill at will?

mekaboy:

Since when did imposing religion on others become the right of any group or region in this country? So u call forcing people to join their religion their right? Think talk .

Buhari is right; What is the difference between Henry oka and kabiru sokoto?

keep foooling urself

we already know '''

cow head can do better

berem: On a serious note, who should be blamed for Boko haram insurgence if not the Federal Government? The northern elites have asked for Amnesty which the FG Is still adamant to grant. So who should be blamed then? If your president had said Boko haram members are in his government, on the other hand he said they are ghosts, who is the federal government fooling? there is actually something about this hullabaloo we Nigerians don't know yet.

Grant amnesty to a faceless terrorist group just like that? No way it's not possible!! If he does, you will be the first person to scream that the president is a weakling. This is a very tactical issues which needs to be handled tactically. But if the president said they are in his government and then came out to tell us that they are ghost, I'm afraid it's You and I that are been fooled here (so sorry to say). I really think there is more to this than we the public know as you have said.

usayab: Buhari is right; What is the difference between Henry oka and kabiru sokoto?

Henry Oka was fighting for resource control, please what is your brother Kabiru Sokoto fighting for?

It is a shame we are even discussing Buhari in a democratic era when the guy doesn't believe in democracy or free speech.

A big shame that in 2013, somebody can even talk about a 70+ year old half illiterate as a possible presidential candidate in a country of 170 million people. All Buhari supporters here should hide their head in shame. SMH!

Okija_juju: Well, there is no difference between Buhari and Abacha..

Oh yes! Abacha added two Naira and formed the PTF whose achievements have no equals since the coming of the southern leaders that added almost hundred Naira with only corruption and dwindling standard of life on the masses to show for it.

Wsdm: Oh yes! Abacha added two Naira and formed the PTF whose achievements have no equals since the coming of the southern leaders that added almost hundred Naira with only corruption and dwindling standard of life on the masses to show for it.

PTF achievements? Can you name one please? Shocked!

BUHARI DOES NOT NEED TO BE A PRESIDENT BEFORE HE CAN SAY HIS OPINION.
AS A CITIZEN LIKE OLAOLUFRED,THELASTPOPE AND EVEN OBJ, HIS RIGHT TO OPINION OF HIS IS NOT BETTER THAN MINE AND YOURS.
BUT THE TRUTH IS, THE PRESENT PRESIDENT IS NOT PROTECTING THE LIVES AND PROPERTIES OF ITS CITIZEN.
HE SWORE TO EXACTLY DO THAT.
THAT IS THE CENTRAL POINT OF THE WHOLE INTERVIEW BUHARI GRANTED.
HOWEVER, SINCE THE OP SEES ONLY THE TOPIC ABOVE,
YES. MILITANTS AND BOKO HARAM ARE VIOLENT SECTS.
ONE HAS SOME IDEOLOGY THAT WE PRESUMED TO BE UNDERSTANDABLE, WHILE THE OTHER HAS AN IDEOLOGY THAT SEEMS ABSURD.
BUT MUST MORE NIGERIANS CONTINUE TO DIE BECAUSE THEIR IDEOLOGY IS ABSURD?
LET US FACE THE REALITY, AND STOP BEATING THE BUSH AS IF THAT WILL MAKE US PRODUCTIVELY HAPPY.

People are just bias, unsophisticated and ignorant whenever a northerner say something these days.

When MEND bomb atlas cove, na chicken die no be Nigerians.

When MEND bombed Nigeria on our most popular day (independence day), na cows die not Nigerians?

I used to think MEND was diferent but now I know better.

They are both militants. Whether you chose to call them terrorists or not.

one buffoon on this thread even said terrorists are different from militants. Hahahahah but they are both terrorizing.


How quick are we to forget all the killings that happened in the Niger Delta during the Niger Delta crisis? We have forgotten so fast?

When Yaradua decided to give amnesty to Niger Delta terrorists, he offered amnesty. A northerner with compassion for the struggle of his fellow citizens to the south. He not only ended the crisis, he gave them different channels to get more money from the oil they produce ignoring the fact that they get more money than any state in Nigeria already. I sorry for una and this mentality wey una carry so oo.. Don't say something when it supports you.

Good acheivement. I specially love the second reference. I can see the retardeen minister praising the acheivement of PTF.
