CHRISTIAN YOUTHS REJECT AMNESTY FOR BOKO HARAM, THREATENS VIOLENCE Written by Paschal Okeke -Abuja Thursday, 11 April 2013 02:48 AS the Federal Government buckles under the pressure to consider granting amnesty to the Boko Haram sect, the Youth Wing of the Christian Association of Nigeria (YOWICAN) has threatened violence if the plan is carried out. YOWICAN, whose membership cut across the six geopolitical zones in the country, said thatrather than considering amnesty to the group, the Federal Government should immediately arrest Senators Ahmed Zanna and Buka Ibrahim for their alleged involvement in the activities of the violent sect. Addressing journalists in Abuja on Wedenesday, the president of the religious group, Dr Simon Dolly, warned that the “planned amnesty for murderers is potentially dangerous to Nigeria and Nigerians because it is a clarion call to more terrorism in Nigeria.” Dolly said President Jonathan must be reminded that the fact that the Boko Haram sect insurgency had come to send jitters into the spine of the people would not confirm absolute power to unleash violence, stressingthat “nobody has the monopoly of violence.” He said: “In case the Federal Government is contemplating granting amnesty to willful murderers masquerading as political and religious insurgents who do not respect the basic tenets of humanity and the Constitutionof the Federal Republic of Nigeria, the FederalGovernment should be prepared to face perhaps more deadly and sophisticated response. “We ask Mr President to go all out for these Boko Haram members by consolidating on the gains made by the various security agencies and to arrest those whose utterances and actions have implicated them.” Dolly admonished President Goodluck Jonathan to be wary of some politicians in the North who felt they could use the issue ofthe Boko Haram insurgency to correct the anomalies they created while in power. “We appeal to the president not to be cowed by politicians and few misfits and naturally rebellious persons in the North who are attempting to use the Boko Haram insurgency as a bait to correct what they have failed to do while they were in power,” he stated. Rather than engaging in a wide goose chase,the group insisted that what could bring lasting peace to the restive Northern region, the Federal Government should immediately return all missionary schools to their rightful owners, build “Christian Vocational Centres” in the 36 states of the Federation, including Abuja. The group further demanded the employment of Christian Religious Knowledgeteachers in the North. On the Federal Government SURE-P, YOWICAN, noted that having used the Nigerian youths to endorse the programme, it had turned outto be a sham and a deceit. The group said,”On the current SURE-P programme, we observed with dismay that having used the Nigerian youths to endorse the subsidy re-investment with good promises, the programme has turned out to be a sham and complete deceit.” http://www.tribune.com.ng/news2013/index.php/en/news/item/9346-christian-youths-reject-amnesty-for-boko-haram-threatens-violence |

I have said it b4 that Nigerian gov is giving encouragement to bad things such as corruption, insecurity, lawlessness and favouritism. Each sucesive gov have compromised too much since military era just to consolidate their own power rather that give good governance. Jonathan has over do his own partialy due to 2015 ambition and his minority status. Now a non violent peaple who is managing the situation we find our self will result to gov body language and the parson waiting 4 justice for the voilence papetrated against him or his peaple will be broken hearted because the voilent peaple has been compeciated instead of justice. 2 Likes |

As a Christian myself, I quite share some of their concerns and reservations. An obvious alternative is to arm every Christian with a gun and sufficient rounds and giving them the liberty to shoot any Muslim who exhibits the slightest sign of aggression.

To Mr Ebele Goodluck Jonathan, I suggest you create a platform/committee, * To SCRAP the Amnesty given to the NigerDelta Militants with immediate effect. * SCRAP the SURE-P project because it is a SHAM. * Never to think about granting BH boys Amnesty at all. * Pay Social Security to all Nigerian Youths, expect ally those in the NigerDelta, even those in diaspora should benefit. * Increase Minimum Wage Structure for Civil Servants. * Decrease the wanton embezzlement in form of salaries to both the House of Reps and The Senate. * Increase the monthly allowance of the NYSC without delay. * Pass a Bill for CAPITAL PUNISHMENT for corruption at all levels/arms of Government. Only then we'll know what you truly mean by -Fresh Air . A Stitch In Time, Saves Nine!! 4 Likes |

Nigerian Youths wake up, We have no other country except Nigeria, We have been suffering in silence while our Leaders put our future in their bank accounts. How can we remain like this? How can a youth go to school and suffered to graduate at the end no job. You are almost 40 and still your future is as bleak as a dark room. Did your parents send you to school to sit at home because our Government have failed us. Let us come out one day and say No. We must not remain like this, we cannot all travel abroad to find a better life, our better life is here in our country. We have the money, oil and resources but only a selected few have continue to suck it dry why we keep believing God for a change, wake up now I challenge you. We need 500,000 youths in each of the 36states to challenge the Government. We say NO, we will destroy this country and rebuild it afresh, we will Kill those who stand on our way as they are considered the enemy. A man cannot have billions of naira while millions of youths roam the streets every day looking for daily bread. Our young men must not all be kidnappers, our young girls must not all be prostitutes. Get Ready I tell you. The time has come for us to react, the only way our Government listens is violence, they have shown it to the Niger delta militants and now they are planning to show it to the boko haram..whereas a simple gesture of N20,000 per month to the unemployed is rejected and you pay militants N75,000 per month. How much do they pay as minimum wage? How much do they pay to elected officers, we are going to revolt. Nigeria will burn to be rebuilt again like Libya, Iraqan Egypt and Turnisia...please spread this message unless you want to die in poverty in a country where God has destined all of us to be happy and prosperous...!!!

One of the major tenets of christianity is forgiveness so I see no reason why we as christians should not be willing to forgive. Should we sacrifice peace and transquility on the alter of vandetta? Remember there still so many churches,christians and southerners in the core north. |

Nigeria a country that promotes hate, killing, corruption, kidnapping, intimidation, terrorist, religion fanatics, looting etc. I will no longer contribute to this amnesty trend. Please GEJ go ahead give them amnesty. Ѿε̲̣̣̣̥ will all suffer its outcome. If the govt decide to destroy the country rather than fight for it, then lets destroy the country. Each Nigerian that take d presidential position has failed to plan for the growth of nigeria, so Ѿε̲̣̣̣̥ all hav planned to fail. Unemployed youth are over 4million, fink about it. War is when oldmen talk n young men die Ѿε̲̣̣̣̥ hav 4million of them young men ready to die n very few old men. I'll leave u to do the maths. |
Re: Boko-Haram: Christian Youths Opposes Amnesty by iLUMeN8(m): 10:22am On Apr 11, 2013 |
'The battle is not ours but of the lord' says the good book. If its gonna bring lasting peace in the North and put an end to the bombings then GEJ should by all means do what he can to make it happen. I have lost loved ones to bombings and will not wish it on anyone. Its clear that FGN is clueless on how to stop these guys so if amnesty is gonna work I don't see y we shouldn't support GEJ. Granting these guys amnesty is a zillion times better than loosing more innocent souls. Violence only fuels more violence so I don't see y Christian youths want to start unnecessary demonstrations. |
