Politicians use unemployed youths as vanguards, they called them ‘Ecomog’ in the North-east then. One of their leaders called Yusuf, a young charismatic man, tried to give it a religious tinge but unfortunately the chaps were badly handled by the security forces - a combination of the police and the military.

Now I want to know why Does GMB thinks Yusuf was/is charismatic, How did he become aware of Yusuf's charisma,

What did Yusuf do to impress GMB to warrant the "charismatic" Compliment

Why does the General Consider Yusuf charismatic and maitasine Evil.

Would GMB go to People/areas Afflicted by BH, Kano, Chibok,Markets,mosques,churches,Bus parks , Tertiary and tell them
that the Origin of our Collective Nightmare is charismatic.

You Buhari Supporter, was/is Mohammed Yusus charismatic to you? if yes Please explain

And again, don't ever mention my moniker in the same place with one Ngwakwe or Mud-whatever. Thanks.

@ OP: what is your definition of Charisma? Have you heard of Charisma as a result of Brain? And brawn?
Only a charismatic fellow could attract followers and make them do his biddings like Yusuf did, Osama bin laden, Barrack Obama, Muhammadu Buhari,Ojukwu, Tony Aninih etc. The only distinction is that Yusuf , Osama and co used their charisma to actualise evil act, while Barrack Obama, Muhammadu Buhari, Tony Aninih etc used theirs to actualise their political prospects and nation building. At your question, yes, Yusuf was charismatic but being charismatic doesn't necessarily translate to something positive

donphilopus:
OP, you see what you've caused yourself?! Everybody is now distancing himself from you. At least, you would have done yourself a favour if you had looked up the word "charismatic" before creating this thread.

donguutti:


Thank you , but would Obama , Hillary clinton,or any other leadership aspirant in Eu/America refer to Osama as A charismatic Individual

Definition

a. A rare personal quality attributed to leaders who arouse fervent popular devotion and enthusiasm.
b.1 compelling attractiveness or charm that can inspire devotion.

Ngwakwe:
What kind of question is this? Your understanding of the word charismatic is flawed.

Talking about Sheikh Mohammed Yusuf, this is a cleric whose weekly sermons can sell more than one million copies in the region across Nigeria, Chad and Niger republic.

I return the question back to you. Is Mohammed Yusuf not charismatic enough to have attracted so many believers and sympathisers ready to die for an ideology he championed?

In my own definition, he was indeed a fire brand.

I would've love him to be a Deeper Life convert. If then, I would've contributed in sponsoring his ministry and outreach to the world.

motherlode:
Buhari is right to have said YUSUF is a charismatic leader because he( yusuf ) was able to attract those large amounts of followers who are members of BH!!!
Op must have studied in otuoke where their certificate can't be justified!!!

barcanista:
That doesn't justify Muhammed Yusuf action, arresting him was a great opportunity ffor us to understand their position as at 2009 and nip it to the bud before it got out of hand like we are experiencing today.

Ngwakwe:

Was Sheikh Mohammed Yusuf not an Islamic cleric with more than a million followers?

Yet we praise GMB for taking out Maitesine and Makaniki under A civilian Shagari,Which he did as GOC 3rd Divison and
condemning the the Police for doing same to Yusuf,yes you can become a leader via coercion rev king,Isis and BH
prove this.



How did GMB deduce that Yusuf followers followed him out of charisma and Not coercion,if a chibok
girl comes out tomorrow and speaks of shekau's charisma , how would you react.Coercion is a
standard mode of ISIS,BH and many terror groups.

Op the olodo. See below the definition of charisma which even most armed robbery gang leaders and cult leaders possess.

" compelling attractiveness or charm that can inspire devotion in others"

Yusuf clearly had charisma to get such devotion from his followers. It does not mean he was a good person
