MrChinex: If USA can't find the girls then they should stop calling theirselves super powers... They should call theirselves Lesser powers... Simple

eluquenson: Sound absurd but truth has been said. It is a pure conspiracy by the northerners to rubbish GEJ govt.

bushdoc9919: Why some people believe that the Chibok kidnap is a hoax.

There are many who believe that the Chibok kidnap is something of a plot against the President. Obviously, the President does not think so (he recently accepted the report of a committee on the kidnap,and also wrote an article in the Wash. Post reaffirming his commitment to finding them) and neither does the Army and many other Nigerians. Yet, the rumor persists. Why?

The answer lies in what happens in the mindset of those who think the kidnapping is a hoax, should they accept the fact that it sin't a hoax, but real. Accepting the reality of the kidnap is (to them) tantamount to accepting that the PDP has failed, and that it must be voted out in 2015. This means that a Southern president would lose, and a Northerner take over....and thus potential development for the South (read increased allocation of oil money) receeds. Thus it is in their interest that the kidnapping be a hoax.

Of course, that is ridiculous. To start with, kidnappings have always happened in Nigeria. During Yaradua's regime, there were scores of kidnappings in the South East and South South....and I hardly recall anyone saying that it was all a plot against Yaradua's government...on the contrary, the SE govs did try to deal with the problem. There were also kidnappings during OBJ's regime. No one said it was a plot. In America and other Western nations, there are kidnappings of children and adults, some of which have not been solved to this day,even after as long as twenty years. Yet, no one says that the American govt must fall because of the kidnapping.

Plus, kidnappings by Boko have been happening in the NE region for a long time. Recall when Boko killed several school boys months ago.? They also kidnapped some girls from the school. And no one said it was a plot.(Indeed, radical islamist groups, and even secular groups tend to kidnap and keep hostages, sometimes for years).

But the hoax theory persists....because people seem to think that if GEJ is not elected in 2015, they would 'suffer'.A mirror image of that thought is seen amongst some Northerners who think that if GEJ is elected, they would suffer. Why do such thoughts persist.?

Because of the virtual collapse of local governments in this country....most LGA's exist to chop money.....as well as the under-performance of state governments in this country...people look to Abuja to do the job that states and LGA's do not do. And the only way Abuja will come quickly and do the job is if your son is in office. That is what the competiton about 2015 is really about....and it is central to to understading why some believe Chibok is a hoax.

Because accepting the truth that it isn't means that they have to go to their LGA's and states and force the change needed for improvements there. That they have to stop relying on Abuja.(Likewise, Northerners accepting responsibility for Boko Haram means that they have to go home and change their way of governance). And the truth is, most Nigerians are now creatures of low expectations. We do not want to do the hard work of voting out incompetent state and LGA chairmen/govs/rulers because it is soooo much hard work., and we may fail. Better we just let Abuja do the job for us...which is why we must get our son in.(and indeed, I am of the opinion that Abuja fails because Abuja has to do the jobs that in a sane society governors and LGA chairmen have to do)

In a way.,Chibok is a reflection, a reflection of the average Nigerian's refusal to change himself. That is why we have some people blaming the govt for Boko Haram, some others blaming America for Boko Haram, and a host of conspiracy theories about a tragic kidnap. Perhaps, a little bit of self blame is in order....but no we won't. We would much rather break the mirror, rather than admit the truth of what the mirror shows us....that we are a proud and bigoted people who blame others for our mistakes.

jp philips:

Do you really expect the US to tell you even if they know? The same way they sent a memo to Pakistan when they found Osama?
You guys have no idea how an organized military works.

shaggy007: [size=15pt]I've said it before and I'll say it again...No girls were kidnapped. Even a blind man can see through the propaganda...

The APC is trying very hard to paint GEJ black. Since they can't touch him, they want the international communities to attack him. Anyway, my president can't be bothered by nonsense.

These idiots just went to the streets of the north and paid off a few girls to pretend they were kidnapped...who is fooling who?

Now, when the girls were initially kidnapped, Shekau released some videos claiming they were the ones that kidnapped the girls....but in those videos, no girls were shown. The real Shekau would have proudly displayed the girls in his first video after the kidnap. So after people noticed that he didn't display any girls (duh, he never had them), he then went ahead and paid off some poor girls to do a video with him. After they've done the video shoot, they were dismissed; oh wait, you think those guys have time to babysit 200 and something girls? By the way, how many girls were displayed in the video?

And after the girls were purportedly kidnapped, we asked for their names. After a cat and mouse game with the media, and just barely 2weeks ago, their names and pictures were released to the press. Why wasn't it done instantly? Why were their names and pictures released after 2months of being in captivity? Why doesn't the school have a record of the kidnapped girls? How many northerners go to school? The few that are in school cannot be accounted for.

I repeat, who is fooling who?...I'll answer that...the northerners are fooling Nigerians. Majority of Nigerians are gullible....very very dumb. They believe anything. You see a video and believe the content. When you guys start thinking logically, Nigeria will cease to be a third world country.

It took the US only a few days to realize that something wasn't right. They left Nigeria as quickly as they came. They didn't even stay up to a week in Nigeria before they diffused.

And all those saying that the FG has confirmed that girls were kidnapped, or OBJ offered to help or some other bull5h1t, that goes to show how gullible you guys are.

Did GEJ go to sambisa himself to confirm the kidnap? Didn't he send people to confirm it? Can you vouch for the reliability of those people he sent? Can't they be bribed to provide false reports?

And as for OBJ, don't you guys know when a person is talking in parables? He said he has contacted bokoharam but the girls will NEVER be released. Why? What does he mean by that? What he means is that no girls were kidnapped. OBJ can't openly say it like that, he's a very cunning fellow.

That how all you Muslim and christian f001s literally believe everything in the Quran and the bible. You don't know when something is being said in parables.

Dumbasses.

lyntiffany: was talking about your signature and not your quote, that aside do you have to insult before you convey your message?

Shecy:

Its either you are a bloody politician or a biased northerner. When Kidnap was going on in SE Nigeria, they have a reason to do so. Land, Homes and water destroyed by oil exploration and government keep using the oil money to develop Abuja and sharing the majority of allocation to the northern states, while they die and suffer no good health care or Job.

But as for Boko haram, they are daft dumb brain set of politicians with no tangible reason for their devilish act. The western education has been here since and why is it now they decide to to start acting up.

GUY GIVE URSELF BRAIN JARE...

philiplamb: thank u ma bro, besides who knows if these girls were really kidnapped. Naija is a terrible place o....

FotherMucker: Some people really are just stup1d. If you suspect no girls were kidnapped and if indeed that was true, why then :

1. did GEJ sponsor an op ed in the Washington post claiming he is working tirelessly to bring back the girls?

2. Why did the MIlitary claim it knows where the girls are being held?

3. Why did OBJ, an ex president, offer to help?

4. Why did half the world offer help? You mean you in your couch fiddling your cheap android knockoff know better than these countries including the worlds superpower?

5. How is it possible for a mere governor in a War ravaged state able to fool the whole world?

6. Why did the presidential fact finding committe admit girls were indeed missing?

7. How can you maintain the silence of over 200 so called parents? You think one of them wouldn't blow the whistle for bigger pay from the FG with this sensational scoop?

8. How can over 200 northern Christian minorities ally with a Muslim governor to tarnish a Christian president in today's bigoted and divided Nigeria?


Kindly stop loudly broadcasting your limited intelligence in a public forum, simply skulk your mental impotence in a dark corner of your room removed from the knowing glare of the informed public.

prettyboi1989:
Hey u can't blame d us if dey cudnt find anyfin, its quite difficult searchn 4 missin ppl in developing countries dan in developd countries where u av working cctv, facial recognition, finger print database, gps tracker on most cars, vehicle licence plate registration, etc whch helps in dia search for criminals n missin persons

Demdem:

Goon, u would have stated that from ur original post then.
Am busy smashing fools head, no time to attend to this hypocrisy of urs, at least for now.

A US defence official speaking on condition of anonymity said American flights had been reduced only after a body of intelligence had been gathered and that the cuts had been offset by the British and the French support.


One US official voiced concerns that Boko Haram might have bosom-trapped areas where the girls could be held, and there had been reports that they might have been split up into groups that were not being held in one place.

“It will take the Nigerian piece of the equation with their own sources and human intelligence coupled with the other forms to really understand the picture,”

gratiaeo:
My question is what is the governor of that state doing? This animal is the one behind all this kidnap.
Even the “almighty USA” couldn’t find the kidnapped girls,meaning no girls were kidnapped.

X-factoria:
Unacceptable!

They must find them o.....haba! Is Jack Bauer not an American again

luvinhubby:
That you still have roof over ya head, pants covering your butts, amala & gbegiri to eat this afternoon & a job to foot the cost of the data (mb) that you are expending on posting what you punch from your laptop/phone keyboard is a plus for GEJ.....you need more?

Shecy: Guys wake up!!! No one would watch the structure built for his selfish self centered generational unlimited source of riches be truncated by Transformation agenda (Babangida).

A Nigerian politician openly declared that he will make the country ungovernable and all these starts happening, Bomb today, Kidnapped girls tomorrow nobody knows what next. Yet he his sitting comfortably in the country with no questioning. BUHARI DECLARED IT OPENLY, so why is F.G doing as if they dont know where or who to face. Either he admits he knows or not he should be arrested, questioned and detained until further discovery or notice. We have enough money to pay for damages if found innocent later.

Lastly. The People that benefitted from all these oil subsidy things which has been cut off by transformation agenda also have a hand in all these too. THEY KNOW THEM yet than for the F.G to arrest them they prefer to remove the subsidy. so they should track all these people.

Wherever the truth stands yes people that benefits from the darkness, corruption and wickedness will fight back violently, just as in the case of Nafdac they were after Prof Dora's(RIP) Life and even shot but bullet went through her head tie.

President Goodluck said it several times after each bombing. ''We know them and we ll surely bring them to book''. So WHEN? is the big question........

Mogidi:

So your own head is now in pieces?

"We had substantial initial coverage for the baseline and we’ve moved into a maintenance mode," the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity.

1.So kidnapping is justified in the SE?
NOT JUSTIFIED only that at least there are tangible obvious and visible reasons for some of their actions, which might not necessarily be political.

3.Don't justify wrong things. Why don't you and your northern friends vote in, or at least force your local governments to develop your communities well. But you won't...because it is so easy to chop , rather than to organize for change.

Does Abuja have to do your work for you?

Abuja takes the money so they should work for them, If Abuja wont work for the SE states then they should let this states have resource control and they would pay royalty to the F.G! Simple.
No land is destroyed in the north, there was an open threat that they would make the country ungovernable and we all heard it.
