Sebastine1994:
One day, a man was walking down the street and sees a dog on a porch that was just sitting there, whimpering, whining and moaning. ... Your dog is sitting on a nail. Why doesn't he get off?” “Well, it just doesn't hurt him enough.” This is a good analogy for how many Nigerians act in this country



All you guys do is to condemn people, I would have done worst than this man, I would have stopped going to church and carve a statue of buhari and worship it instead.

You guy are not ready for change, I rather stand with the winner. Until you guys unite, learn to think like a war general, or perish

I don't know how much was given to ohanneze and south east governors to proscribe IPOB and designate them as terrorists

Asour:


Technically, he is correct by the definition you raised though.
It's not clear (never been) that the bandits have a political agenda /motive. Neither have they 'forced ' the government to do anything or not do.

Notwithstanding, they are clearly evil. That's why I don't like these 'international' semantics.

What's happening with these bandits in the north has happened in the East /western Nigeria in the Past. This is just more intense kidnapping.

Depressed101:
he's not technically correct anything, or you don't read?


A UN panel, on March 17, 2005, described terrorism as any act "intended to cause death or serious bodily harm to civilians or non-combatants with the purpose of intimidating a population or compelling a government or an international organization to do or abstain from doing any act.”

On the italized don't they compel the government to pay up on ramsome, don't they compare the government not to fly over their forest zones or else they will shoot their planes down, have they not blown government planes up, and just recently blew a train up?

Julianaa:
You are mad sir, for this statement

Asour:



[s]I'm afraid you don't know what compelling meant there.

Compelling refers to an action to further the terrorists' AGENDA.

There are no terrorists without AGENDAS in the world. A crime is NOT an agenda on its own.
The Agenda IS the goal the terrorists use to achieve there agendas by coercion. That's what compelling means.

Again Every Terrorist group has an agenda (a goal) which they usually use crimes to try to achieve.
For the bandits, this is not clear. They (for now) give the impression as ragtag Kidnappers just like those previously in the East or southern Nigeria.


ISWAP, BH, ISIS, etc. All have agendas they FURTHER through crimes & non recognition for constituted authority.

It's not clear what the broad agenda of these bandits are.
And don't say to terrorize citizens. That's not an agenda.

God help us.[/s]

Depressed101:
so the goal to kill, maim, and kidnap Nigeria doesn't exist? Keep fooling yourself, IPOB was proscribed terrorist organization even before ESN was formed..

Christistruth00:
May Jesus Christ deliver Nigerians from Tribalism

Each region is now busy defending their own Criminals and trying to get Amnesty for them


This was exactly how.Boko Haram Started

We still remember those that said an attack on. Boko Haram is an attack against the North and that IPOB was a Peaceful Group

Both Groups are now busy murdering people and doing their best to turn their respective Regions into rubble

HonNL:
In an interview with VANGUARD, the Presidential Spokesperson did react to the National Assembly's call to designate Bandits as Terrorists.
