Maxymilliano: Impressive!!! I hope the effort is stepped up to force those unrepentant virgin hunters to give up the chase, rather than losing out on both side.

Those pictures of handsome boys are not out of place.Besides virgins,the Koran also talked about FRESH. HANDSOME BOYS. It says " Round about them will serve to them,boys(handsome) as pearls well-guarded...boys of perpetual freshness...if thou seest them,thou wouldst think them scattered pearls" (Surah 52:24 ;Surah 56:17 ;Surah 76:19).

Thinkers have wondered the kind of service these boys of perpetual freshness will be rendering in a sexua.l paradise.

Intrepid!:
This matter should never have gotten to this point. What has the Directorate of Military Intelligence been doing? The NIA nko? All Intelligence gathering agencies should have coordinated long before now and a Special Forces Unit detailed to nip the terrorists in the bud long before now.

It's actually not the fault of our intelligence agencies, rather it's the fault of our politicians and judges.

When the intelligence agencies gather information, who do they submit it to? The politicians. When they security services arrest people who is responsible for sentencing them? The judiciary.

Boko Haram first came to the attention of the SSS in 2003. Mohammed Yusuf, the late leader of Boko Haram was arrested by the security services. What happened? He and his followers were granted bail. That's why policemen carried out extra judicial killings in 2009. That's why they killed Yusuf. They saw people that they had previously arrested and charged to court, roaming freely on the streets and attacking policemen again. So they decided that execution was better than trial.

Who gives the order to the security services to execute attacks, act onn intelligence, etc? Politicians.

frosbel: Move comes amid major offensive in three northeastern states against group seeking to create Islamic state.

Nigerian soldiers have blocked roads out of a key northeastern city to deprive Boko Haram fighters of supplies in remote towns they control, the army has said.

The military said on Sunday that its offensive against the group, which followed a declaration of a state of emergency in three northeastern states, was aimed at re-establishing Nigeria's "territorial integrity".

The assault on Boko Haram, which has said it wants to create an Islamic state, included air strikes on strongholds in remote parts of northeastern Borno state, and has spread to the state capital Maiduguri, the fighters' traditional home base.

Residents said on Sunday the base had been blockaded.

"There is a huge build-up of trucks loaded with essential commodities... along the Baga road on the way out of Maiduguri to the northern part of the state," said Ibrahim Yahaya.

"The drivers said they have been prevented by the military from going northward," he told the AFP news agency by email.

'Run out of supplies'

The phone network in Borno has all but collapsed since president Goodluck Jonathan on Tuesday declared a state of emergency there and in two neighbouring states, Adamawa and Yobe.

Chris Olukolade, a defence spokesman, said in a statement on Saturday that fighters on the run were scrambling for key supplies like fuel. He urged residents to report anyone trying to buy large quantities of fuel.

The supply shortage has begun to bite in the town of Gomboru Ngala, on the border with Cameroon, where some Borno residents have fled to escape the air raids.

"Trucks bringing in goods from Maiduguri have ceased since last week," said resident Grema Babagoni. He said the supply shortage has pushed prices up by as much as 25 percent.

"If the blockade continues for some time we may completely run out of supplies," he told AFP.

On Saturday the army declared a 24-hour curfew in a dozen neighbourhoods of Maiduguri, Boko Haram's stronghold.

The curfew in the main city in Borno state came as soldiers continued the government's emergency campaign against fighters in the region on Saturday.

A defence spokesman also said the military had seized stockpiles of weapons including rocket-propelled grenades, guns and ammunition from areas around Maiduguri.

Boko Haram has carried out scores of attacks in recent years, and has become emboldened and better armed in recent months.

So no need of giving them amnesty againg
Re: Army Blockades Boko Haram Base by toshmann(m): 1:34pm On May 20, 2013
.
And to think Amnesty was ever contemplated for this"Evil Doers".... Simply leaves one totally astounded!!! READ ON! From the horses mouth!!!!!.............What Many Do Not Know By Ahmadu Jirgi

Nothing has changed for the better since June last year when the first
emergency rule in some parts of Borno was lifted. The people had
witnessed a kind of restriction they have never seen before as curfew was
imposed in most parts of the states from 6pm to 6am. We also witnessed
a lot of Joint Task Force (JTF) activities as they exercised their powers to
arrest and detain, not leaving outtheir other abuses rivalled by the Boko haram sect. ?But instead, Boko haram has grown in strength and number
while Nigerians watched as the sect gradually spread its influence to
effectively capture 23 out the 24 local government areas of Borno, a fact
clearly attested to by Senator Ahmed Zanna Khalifa representing Borno
central.
Boko haram lived, moved among the people and killed with impunity anyone who dared to stand in their way. ?First, it began with the killing
of their own brothers, friends, family, Islamic clerics and most shockingly
any of their parents who got boldenough to condemn their actions or
report them to the security agencies. In time, they extended their
hostilities to non-Muslims, indigenous or not and then the Igbos.
Contrary to what many people have been made to believe, the ideology that Boko Haram holds does not differentiate between Muslims or
Christians, you are a potential target as long as you are not a sect
member. Any educated fellow orgovernment worker unfortunate
enough to reside among them or close enough to be reached by these
boys also became marked to be axed.
We have witnessed Boko Haram metamorphosed into something else. The foot soldiers are mostly young men from the age of 15 to 25 usually
armed with Ak47, their weapon of choice. Then they graduated toa more
gruesome mode of killing people ?slaughtering with a kitchen knife from
their victim?s home, a treatmentthey mete out to any of their members
they perceive as a hypocrite, mole or deflector.
Indeed, it is the most gruesome form of killing anyone can think of where the victim is tied downlike an animal, and slaughtered until the head is
cut off completely. I have seen the body of my neighbour with the head
severed from the body. I have also seen the body of another manwith
the head cut off and placed on its back at Krenoa, a small farming town in
Marte local government area of Borno state. The villagers said he was
brought to the market by Boko Haram members in 5 Toyota Hilux car, and they were told why he was deserving of such anend ? he extorted from
the people under the guise of the sect. I learnt a teenager was instructed
to do the slaughtering, a task he did smiling.
Believe me, not a single day passes without an incident of killings in
Maiduguri or its environs. Gun shots are so normal that you know
normalcy will return within 15 minutes, so far the victims are not members of the government security forces.
One does not have to pay a visit to the troubled areas of the state to
know that people are dying, a visit to the graveyard tells the story.
Muslims bury their dead wrapped in white cotton material and without a
coffin. A bullet-ridden corpse can be spotted immediately as the white can
be mistaken for red, obviously soaked in blood that flows enoughto even drip from the stretcher.
I recall some months ago, an acquaintance of mine had a younger brother
who joined the police and was posted to one of those southern states. His
police brother came home on a visit to his family but unknown to us all,
Boko Haram members were lurking.? They mistook my friend for his
brother who was home to visit and shot him dead. I went for theburial but could not get into Gwange and like most who have come to pay their
last respect to the dead, waited atthe Gwange central cemetery forthe
corpse. Suffice to say that eleven (11) other corpses were brought tobe
buried in the space of time we waited for the remains of our friend to be
brought ? all covered in blood; thecemetery attendants said sometimes
more than 20 corpses are brought in a single day. In 2011, motorcycles were banned in Maiduguri because it provided a fast
means of escape to the killers, especially in areas that are not motorable.
Despite the hardship in transportation as a result of the ban, a lot of
people welcome the idea even before tricycles were later introduced. In
places like Bulabulin Ggarnam in Maiduguri however, motorcyclesare still
in use as the area is well known to be under the iron grip of the Boko Haram sect. Those who havefled the area said the sect members can be
seen with their guns riding their motorcycle even when the JTF unit is but
a little distance away. The soldiers confess to lack of adequate resources
to launch the needed attack there.
With the insurgency came also car snatching and kidnapping. Kidnapping
is very common in Maiduguri although the ones involving notable figures like Dr Ali Monguno, a nationalist and a former minister get more
publicity.
In places like Bama, one can say there is no single Toyota Camry left. If at
all there is, it must be an old one that cannot possibly go beyond 120
kilometres per hour. In fact, Boko Haram boys need not break into
anyone?s house to claim a vehicle;they call the owner with instructions to fuel the car ahead of their arrival. Then they walk in, ask that he
disengages any anti-theft security and hand them the car and its key. The
owner is killed should the car stopon the way. ?A senior colleague, Late
Ahmed Wali ?suffered this fate. It is believed that all the cars snatched in
Maiduguri are either in northern Borno or in the Sambisa game reserve,
about 45 kilometres from Maiduguri. People die daily in my state, hence any solution towards ending this
carnage must not have a colouration of politics but should be pursued
with the intent to truly bring about peace to our land. I welcome the
declaration of State Of Emergencyin Borno and from the pulse of the
people among whom I work, it is safe to say that many are happy with
this declaration ??if?? it will bring an end to this crisis. The state of emergency is long overdue.
Not to mince words, I have my reservations with the conduct of the JTF; I
never pray that the Baga episode repeat itself in any form, and hence
nurse fears of the fallouts of this military intervention ?but would we
wait for the remaining 3 local government areas still functioning under
Borno state government to fall into hands of Boko Haram? Or allow the entire state to be run down before we act?
Borno is our home; our lives should not be used as bet for political
reasons. It is amiss for anyone to stay in Abuja or anywhere outside of
Borno state and speak authoritatively­ ­ as though they feel our pain, while
our brothers and sisters die in droves.? I will agree with anyonewho
speaks of caution or defined rules of engagement for the JTF but anutter condemnation of the declaration of emergency is not acceptable.
I personally have never been in support of the amnesty program for Boko
Haram. As a matter of fact, the good people of Borno know what these
marauding killers stand for and their great contempt and disregard for
constituted authority. An amnesty will then be a win for them; an
indication that they are above thesovereignty of Nigeria. This will spell doom for the locals.
All efforts made to talk to the sect when Bama was attacked proved
abortive; they see no reason to dialogue when they are winning the war.
When the heat is turned on them,one won?t be surprised to see them
being the ones seeking peace instead. That they be hunted down from
Lake Alau in the Sambisa to the Lake Chad in northern Borno are few of my prayers and more.
