aguiyi:

how convenient is it for you to insult at will rather than present a counter argument, shame

all the people clamoring for the armnesty are supporters of APC, even though some were from PDP, they ran because Jonathan refused to let them have it as usual.

you see now that APC want to Islamise Nigeria because thats what boko haram also want. that's why they dared to present a Muslim Muslim ticket.

you may need to know that sharia and mosque is in the constitution but no Christianity or church. its a battle that started a very long time ago, wake up.

stop fighting a course you barely understand

you are just been used to push an idea you know little or nothing about, you really need to sleep over some coincidence if you have time

millionaireman:


Boko Haram fights to make Nigeria an Islamic country ruled by sharia. What Boko Haram is fighting for is welcome by most Muslims.

The people and groups that have asked for amnesty (read financial settlement) for Boko Haram are mostly from the far north.

Far north has embraced extreme sharia laws. It is thus the duty of north to truly initiate the means, and cooperate with rest of Nigeria and government to stamp out Boko Haram.

Unless your solution is let us return Nigeria to Boko Haram and the northern leaders to see if they can stop Boko Haram. In that case, all of Nigeria are cowards.

Omexonomy:
ur list is not complete where are the names of BH spokepersons on nairaland? Gbawe, koboko69 cramjones, egift, omenka, obiagelli, berem, and the rest of the cyber rodents who are fond of jubilating whenever BH strikes

dunkem21:


Thanks for at least accepting the lies being peddled by cramjones and you. Nigeria is at war with BH and their numbers is far greater than the NA. The reason why BH succeeds is because we have people like you just like their sponsors that are apologetic to their cause and will quickly pass the buck to the Govt forgetting that a lot of Generals from a particular region promised to heat up the polity and make the country ungovernable. If the govt goes hard on BH, they complain of genocide knowing that these people hide amongst citizens to perpetrate their devilish acts or would you really want a whole region levelled?
The terrorist group will never find their way down south because they cannot thrive and the terrains are not familiar with them. The people will easily point them out because of divergent views, beliefs and culture. Yes, kidnapping went from expatriates to the rich and to anybody but it was just an upgrade of armed robbery. Before, it was armed people bursting your door to ask for money but noticed that bulk of the money are kept in the bank and kidnapping was birthed. Goodluck is fighting these vices head on and I think we should offer advice to help him not changing another govt that wont still know how to quash the terrorists unless they were the ones that sponsored them in the first place to make the govt look incompetent.
Last bullet: Do you know that if GEJ opponents win, BH will stop immediately even without negotiations.

arsetalks:
It is convenient for you to bring out El Rufai from the list simply because he is APC member. There have been many PDP members who called for amnesty for them.

Bamanga also said they are fighting for Justice, he was former PDP member. You lot need to stop been biased for the good of the nation.

P:S ; I do not support granting them amnesty, crush them in total, take the battle hard to them until they surrender and all get killed. Unfortunately that is only possible when the president is not a mere sissy. I just hope this nation learns. We should never trust someone who his parents bought him shoes but lost it and had to walk on bare foot to school - embarrassing his poor parents. He is not to be trusted in the next election. If he can lose his shoes that his parents struggled to buy for him, why should we trust him to rule us aright?

cramjones:
Some hard questions for the Jonathanians!

[b]1. Who is to gain politically if the entire North-West is ravaged, and declared insecure for voting? Who really gains politically?

2. Why did the late Azazi claim that PDP was behind Boko Haram? And why did his Helicopter crash mysteriously?

3. Why is the President romancing Ali Madu Sherrif? Why has there been no formal investigation launched since the Australian who accused Ali Madu Sherrif of funding Boko Haram spoke out?

4. Despite the killings, bombing and kidnappings, why haven't the Federal Government done anything to Senator Ndume? Why is he still holding a position at the senate, despite the overwhelming evidence? If I may add, why is he being tried secretly?

5. Where is the John guy that DSS caught trying to blow up radio house 2 years ago. He said he worked for the DSS, why haven't we heard anythinng about him since then?

6. Why is Orisejiafor involved arms smuggling?

7. Why did the Federal Government debunk claims that girls were kidnapped?

8. Why is the United States not sharing intelligence with the Nigerian Government?

9. Why did Boko Haram try to kill General Mohammadu Buhari?

10. Why did the Federal Government lie about negotiating the release of the girls with Boko Haram, when in actual fact, only today, Shekau stated clearly that the girls were married off and no talks went on?

11. Why Borno? Could their be any links to the rich uranium deposits and oil discovered in Borno? Could it be that there are covert foreigners involved without any control of the Federal Government? Could it be that they are using the violent political rift to perpetuate their own evil?

12. Why has the Federal government failed to win the war against an ill-trained army of not more than 10,000, despite having an army, airforce and navy numbering over 100,000 with fighter jets and high grade military hardware?

13. Why are the army chiefs all fat? grin grin grin

14. How did Ihejirika have accounts with ten of millions of dollars? What was his salary as a chief of army staff?

15. Why is Jonathan wanting to collect a $1billion loan when our defense spending during the period Boko Haram murdered the most hit $8billion?

16. Why are APC members labelled as Boko Haram sponsors? We are the opposotion, wouldn't the government score a huge political point and turn the public and the world against us if they can provide some evidence to their claim?

17. Back to Ali Madou Sherrif, why did he move on to join the PDP? Is he trying to escape from something? Recall, we had a party meeting while he was still in our party, and Bola Tinubu told him speficially that we had all the evidence on him as one of the sponsors of Boko Haram.

18. Did $20 billion get missing? Would Sanusi Lamido Sanusi make such grave allegation against a whole president? If it did get missing? Where is money, who and who has spent it? That is a lot of money!

19. Why has president Jonathan failed to fish out those he said where Boko Haram members in his government?

20. Finally, why the president's men pressure Henry Okah to blame the very first bombing in Nigeria in 2010 on Northern elites? Why did the President refute MEND's claim of bombing, whilst pressuring Henry Okah through Oroto Douglas (presidential aide) to deny the bombing and blame it on Northerners? [/b]

Boko Haram is APC; APC is boko haram


Thanks for this piece

f00l!
First, I did not accept your lies. i only said even if we assume what you said is true.
Second, How on earth am I apologetic to BH when I ask your clueless gej not to grand BH amnesty? I demanded for justice, I demanded for arrests but your wrapped-up bigotry mind didn't allow you to read/ understand my write-up.

In your wrapped-up mind you concluded that I said BH will literally come down south. What I said is we cannot afford continue to set bad precedents like the nonsense amnesty and even cited OPC as example. Is BH the only terrorist group in Nigeria? So what make you think another southern group like MEND, OPC et al cannot spring up in a few years time and start killing people in SE; SW; or SS? Your mind is so biased that you can't even think straight let alone understand simple analogy.

War is expensive and if you cut the source of fund, you are 50% successful at winning the war. Why is it difficult to cut the source of fund to this group by arresting their sponsors particularly if such persons are in APC? All the military hardwares BH use cost millions of dollars. Don't you think gej's credibility will soar through the roof if he can just make one high-profile arrest? And we are even making it easier for him to fetch out such sponsors from APC - just like OBJ used efcc to witch hunt some people but they are all guilty of the offence they were accused of. Today Sherif wines and dines with your corruption lord and you are here still making excuses and defending those that should have put him behind bars.

I am sorry I do not have time to waste on bigots like you.

Dblack:
HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

Revealing, there is a strange connection as all of them are sympathizers of APC.

I need to confirm the source sha, but this is utterly revealing.

STOP dragging us to party issues here. Former or informer my toe party is not the topic or Bamanga turkey's saying they are fighting for their right don't count here.

Son, face your studies and realities of your future than engaging in Nigeria politics which is older than you.

Unless you wish to make politics as your profession, then you better bend down to learn because politics around the world are not transparent.

Politics in Nigeria is in Igbo adage- onye bara n'ohia na egbu osisi, o'puta n'uzo na aju onye na egbu.

I hope u will understand wht I posted. No offence ok

My brother, much as there is a lot of sense in your post, I still have a little reservation. For how long are we going to be pardoning criminals in this country? I am a Yoruba man, are you saying if tomorrow some deranged OPC members starts killing people in Ogun, Oyo and other SW states, then FG should also grant them amnesty? We should be very careful about the kind of precedence we set.
Why is Ndume being tried in secrete? Why did Sherif run back to PDP if not for protection from investigation. Gov. Amaechi said BH is shooting because someone is paying (for the firearms and logistics), why has there not been any high profile arrest. Why has there not been any arrest in CBN as Davis indicted a top CBN staff (even if it is Sanusi)? It is not rocket science, war is EXPENSIVE. So, just cutting the source of funds to a terrorist group, and in most cases such groups die a natural death over time. Why has there not been a high profile arrest - even if it means witch-hunting the opposition as long as gej security chieves are sure such persons are behind BH? Except you are telling me, there is no APC member funding BH.

So the only reason I can think of why some people are asking for amnesty is just because they know we have an inept government that cannot discharge its most basic function - security. Maybe there theory is: if you don't ask for amnesty, this carnage may probably continue and its the innocent ones that suffers. Imagine the situation of the parents of the Chibok girls.

Another question I have been asking and its good to know Cramejones has asked a similar question in his list of top 20 questions: 12. Why has the Federal government failed to win the war against an ill-trained army of not more than 10,000, despite having an army, airforce and navy numbering over 100,000 with fighter jets and high grade military hardware? Even when we have a south easterner as the COAS.

I am a Muslim, but there is no where in our religion where you are asked to marry girls off without their parents consent. There is no religion on this planet that I know of that asks you to kill innocent secondary school boys in there dormitories while sleeping. Shecow Shekau cannot stand in front of any muslim community and expect accolades.

This is why some of us will not ask for amnesty, but we ask for justice. Justice on those providing the funds - without which BH will be history. And also some form of economic empowerment. I am not talking about the type of celebrity status that the Niger Delta militants have been elevated to, but a general economic empowerment for the readily available recruits into BH foot soldiers. If a man knows he can make a decent living without comitting suicide by joining a war he is bound to lose, he certainly will think twice before enlisting to join BH.

That report was dated May 2014 i.e. barely six months ago, right
For how long have the Boko Haram SYMPATHISERS listed by the OP being calling for amnesty?

- 1 year
- 2 years
- 3 years etc
Would you rather our president not listen to their YEARNINGS and pleas for mercy in order to show that he his willing to try ALL possible avenues, including war & amnesty to bring peace to our troubled land
