Insurgency in parts of the country was created with the aim of undermining the economy and development of Nigeria, former head of state General Muhammadu Buhari said yesterday in Daura, as military operations continued elsewhere in the Northeast against insurgents. Buhari spoke in his hometown which came under bomb and gun attacks that left 3 soldiers dead last Thursday. “The insurgency was a deliberate move to scuttle the security and development of Nigeria. Take for instance Kano and Borno states. The economy of the people in the two states was completely wiped out by the activities of insurgents. Nothing economic is moving in the two states,” said Buhari, who spoke while on a sympathy visit to the Emir of Daura’s palace. “No nation in this world can develop with this kind of insurgency. It is unfortunate that activities of insurgents are on the increase in Nigeria,” he added. Buhari said also no religion will condone the kind of terrorism taking place in Nigeria. He urged Nigerians to intensify prayers for the restoration of peace and harmony in the country. The Emir of Daura, Alhaji Farouq Umar Farouq, told the former head of state that he opposed the conduct of house-to-house search in Daura town by the military in the wake of the attack.

The "respected" elder statesman seems to find it impossible to mouth the words "BOKO HARAM". It's ok to condemn terrorists and religious fanatics but who's going to tell the Haramites Buhari was referring to them? Me?

Why is he calling "NIGERIA" as if the whole of the country is under the insurgency ? He should limit this mad phenomenon to where it is happening...part of the North.

Desperation makes people do foolish things.

...And now why is the Emir opposing house-to-house search after the attack. Some things are better left unsaid.

Busted!, Emir of Daura disapproves the House to house search. Seems some peeps are gonna be implicated in this whole mess and their foot soldiers extinct.

To me, he still has not said anything

Let Buhari and the Emir keep fooling themselves .. Its clear that 200million naira was intentionally made to be left in the banks so BH could pick up to finance their retreat and regroup strategy for the SOE

Though a condemnation was made which is very commendable; but this isnt confrontational neither is it vehemently opposing the definitive subject (boko haram).It is frugality with words and compromising ideals. I expect the general to be less patronising and fearlessly label the extremist appropriately

buhari is scared ,he doesnt even know which side to take .gej don scare am

This is the man that said that there will be war if he doesn't win the election. I suspect the Emir of Daura. He has some skeletons in his cupboard.

Buhari again! Anyway,JTF r watching ♈̷̴̩‎☺ΰ n Ūя̲̅ boys.

On this let Buhari says what seems best to him. My question goes to Emir, why do you oppose house-to-house-search? Quickly hide those grenade, IED, rocket launcher, anti-aircraft launcher, guns, swords & matchets, knives & dagger you are keeping for your boys. You have none of this? Then why oppose to house to house search?

Buhari said also no religion will condone the kind of terrorism taking place in Nigeria. He urged Nigerians to intensify prayers for the restoration of peace and harmony in the country.

Mumu OP's warped brain failed to see the above...

SMH

If the guy talk dem go say him talk. If the guy no talk dem go say him no talk. Let yaruba pipul catch una one by one. You will know what it means to be a loyal slave to a foolish master.

Is it not too early in the day for people to reason like they rapt in slumber? This is all you have been waiting for - Buhari's comment and an opportunity to further demonstrate your readiness to be s.tupid by all means. What better describe what is happening in the country if not insurgent? Did members of the insurgent group "Jama Ahl al-sunnah al-jihad" ever refer to themselves as Boko Haram? Don't you think finding fault in a faultless speech is unravelling your folly? You expect Buhari to mention the names of all insurgents before you can understand he is condemning their actions? In the mind of your mind only Boko Haram is the problem abi? Or because the security operatives enjoys soft landing while labelling every form of civil lawlessness an action of BH- you think only the group exist in evil form in the country? During the militancy days of ND people condemn militancy not MEND and other names. Buhari condemned the actions of insurgents which is a concise, succint and diplomatic summary of what is unfortunately happening in Nigeria. One can pardon your absurdity if you claim no knowledge of the real definition of "insurgents" but not when its mischief driven.

“No nation in this world can develop with this kind of insurgency. It is unfortunate that activities of insurgents are on the increase in Nigeria,” he added.

So many educated illiterates on NL.where else do we have insurgency in Nigeria as at date if not in the north and people are expecting to hear him mention the word "boko haram ". He doesn't need to please you folks with his words,the right thinking ones understood him better.

This is the same old retard some idiotas want to rule them. It is better to wake my grand father from the dead to come and rule Nigeria instead of allowing a terrorists to rule this country. Nigeria is moving on, we dont need old, overused and outdated old cargoes anymore. Our economy is among the fastest growing in the world now. We want to be among the best in the world and surely this old man has nothing left in him to offer Nigeria apart from their Islamization agenda which will continue to fail woefully.

I thought they say Goodluck is clueless but Buhari is a spineless clown. Why is it hard for him to label these terrorists appropriately? He is surely scared those illiterates will come for his head.

want to see if this is true.

Stop getting mushy about this.Nigerians didn't vote Buhari to identify threatening situation to Nigeria nor tag fellow Nigerians terrorists,that is the duty of the president .

don't mind him the brain behind the terro

Its so easy to see what is going on here.

The PDP is scared of Buhari as the only credible guy on election day so they hire some silly mofos like insincere9gerian,the OP and the first set of moronic posters to insult Buhari.

What you morons don't know is that the vast majority of viewers can see through your MISCHIEF.

Who created the insurgency? The chicken has come to roost,abi? Daura has been touched. Oga Buhari or BH whatever you call yourself keep the fire of insurgency burning. Now you know that their activities undermine development? I put it to you and your apologists that you are the mastermind behind this devilish and rebellious group. You created them to undermine development in the North so that you will have facts with which to discredit GEJ during campaign for the 2015 elections. You promised to make the North ungovernable for GEJ without realizing that you would be making life unbearable for your Northern brothers and sisters. Tell your brother, the emir, that the 'Desert Force 1' does not know who is emir or who is not. Tell him that soon his house will be searched thoroughly. Explain to him what a state of emergency means. Tell him that emergency situations do not pamper or honour regency. You guys asked for it. GEJ has magnanimously given it to you. Now we shall know who the real coward is.

wesley80:
“No nation in this world can develop with this kind of insurgency".

This man is a big joke

wesley80: He urged Nigerians to
intensify prayers for the restoration of peace and
harmony in the country.

He want nigerians to pray for what he created

Funny!
How can the PDP(the largest party in africa) be scared of an unintelligent bigot who has lost three consecutive elections? Buhari is like a clown to the PDP. They will defeat Buhari in any election, anytime, anywhere!

Oh pls shut it and save your verbosity for your kindergarten class. Bahari was visiting the Emir of Daura his hometown and there was nothing "national" in his visit to have him making reference to national insurgents. The issue was an attac by the BH boys on his hometown and even locals identified the attackers as Kanuris, so why did Bahari choose to blame the wind?
If He's that worried about the spate of insurgency and religious extremism in the country why has he failed to condemn the one group that demonstrates extreme attributes of both insurgency and religious extremism? Olofofo over to you.

.

Buhari finally speaks, continue ROMANCE with boko haram:
shldnt this topic be at the romance section?

Uncanny Genius: This is the man that said that there will be war if he doesn't win the election. I suspect the Emir of Daura. He has some skeletons in his cupboard.

and u av a whole cementry in ur backyard

Yungwizzzy: To me, he still has not said anything

He was treading words with caution
Little wonder it took him so long to comment on the current insurgents
Seem he has rehearsed what to say over and over again ending up to say nothing.
