THE Northern Elders Forum (NEF) has declared that it was wrong for anyone to claim that the Boko Haram insurgents currently wagging war against Nigeria are from the Northern Region of the country. NEF said it has done a lot to woo the Federal Government to overcome insurgency in the country, saying the government lacks the will power to act.

According to the forum, the Northerners were victims of insurgency being perpetrated against them, saying that as it was today, the original Jama’atul Ahlu Sunnah Li-Dawati Wal-Jihad, also known as Boko Haram, had been hijacked by the political class and they were the ones annexing the territory of Nigeria.

Addressing journalists in Bauchi State shortly after the forum’s strategic committee’s meeting, a member of the committee, Barrister Solomon Dalung, noted that though there was a conception of an Islamic orientation by those who initially formed the Boko Haram group, what was being witnessed now was far from the agenda of the group.

He stated that any attempt to link Northerners to insurgency was a deliberate move to blackmail the people of the North, submitting that the Federal Government lacked the will to put an end to insurgency in the country.

“The insurgents are not from Northern Nigeria. Northern Nigerians are victims of a conspiracy. Those who bombed Nigeria on the 1st of October, 2012 are not Northerners. The man who masterminded the bombing of five churches in Kaduna has a name John Odey. John Odey is not a Northerner.

“The three gentlemen who coordinated the bombing of Nyanya are not Northerners. The 400 people arrested in Maiduguri fighting are from the South-South. I disagree with anybody trying to insinuate that the insurgents are mostly from the North.

“Yes, there was a conception for an Islamic orientation spearheaded by Yusuf Muhammed but as it is today, all those who started Jama’atul Ahlu Sunnah Li-Dawati Wal-Jihad had been hijacked by the political class and they are the ones that are now annexing the territories of Nigeria,” Dalung said.

He added that, “If this is not corrected, then answer this question I asked: Those who bombed on Independence Day, are they Northerners? The three gentlemen who left the house of General Ihejirika as alleged by Davis to bomb Nyanya are not Northerners. John Odey who masterminded the bombing of five churches in Kaduna is not a Northerner.

“It is just a deliberate attempt to blackmail the people of the North. They started something which today is not what they are preaching. If not, then the Federal Government should have been able to overcome this thing.” http://tribune.com.ng/news/news-headlines/item/16002-boko-haram-insurgents-not-northerners-nef

tokunboh already said what I booked space to comment

Having these kinda 'mumuish' people as elders of the north, their youths sure have a long way to go

Imagine reading what I booked space to comment.

Bunch of mo.rons

Funny enough there is a large population of illiterate northerners that would completely believe this story.

all boko haram members may not be northerners but we know where the main leaders hail from. no I.... or Y........ man will agree to carry out suicide bombing no matter how much u give to him. we know those that don't have value for human lives, we know their religion.we know those that thrive on inflicting pain on their fellow humans; those who ll rather behead their victims with dull knives rather than put a bullet in their brains . those who believe that they are born to rule.we know them too well: let's stop deceiving ourselves.

You also forgot that Bishop Shekau of Boko Haram Christian Church is a very GOOD Christian from the Otueke, South South . The North is INNOCENT

I am not surprised, when you live with nama there's the tendency to think like nama

The truth of the matter is....

Boko haram are bloody thirsted northerners who are clamouring for Islamic sovereign state under the guise of Islam. However, they are financed by some political godfathers behind the corridor of power who delude and brainwashed the sect to fight for their course (politically) and for the course of Allah.......



Book haram are full fledged, confirmed and renown bloody Northerners from the North..... Nigeria!!

let's call a spade a spade.......

Chibok is located in Aba.

Clowns!!!

Maybe, they are reading the map of Nigeria upside down.

This thread has been murdered!

Can't stop laughing.

the northern elders are from ebonyi state..they are not northerners ..now how does that sound ??

Funny post, even more funnier comments. Lwkmd!

Yes sure!

Kabiru Sokoto and Yusufu are both from the South.

Moronic nation, Moronic peeps.

wheesin: the northern elders are from ebonyi state..they are not northerners ..now how does that sound ??

Oboi o! I no fit laugh

Shekau is from bakassi line Aba i know him very well,NEF SHOULD STOP PLAYING THE OSTRICH

Yes o, I heard that the names of recent Kano female suicide bombers are, Maryamaka, Paulina, Bimbo and Jacinta.
Abubakar Shekau was also baptised at Lord's Chosen church, while Kabiru Sokoto used to be a back-up dancer for Psquare.

-May God punish these Northern elders and the few Christian middle-beltans they always push forward as spokes person.

God will punish the useless northernelders, all of them will die in the hands boko haram. Were they not the ones warning Jonathan when he should have started the war against the insurgent that he should dialogue with them and give them amnesty?

These cattle rearers are a simple waste of breathing Oxygen So are they blaming the South-South and South-Easterners? It is time for u people to take responsibilities because when militancy and kidnapping was rampant the two hemisphere I listed were bold enough to admit responsibility respectively

ROCKJ1: Yes shakau the boko harm leader is from Ndoni or maybe he is from Nnewi, no, its a mistake he is from Eket. or he is a Liberian.

U r wrong, d guy used to be my senior prefect bk in da days, he from Nkanu, he is related to Ken. Nnamani. But his Mom is from Mbaise in Imo, so d guy is Igbo. NEF cows r correct.

I think y'all above me are confirmed imbéciles.

Ignorance is really a disease.
