When will our federal government realise that boko haram has initiated WAR in the north? If you are current with the news, you know what has happened in just the last five days?

The FG should declare war on Boko Haram islamist, jihadist nonsense and quash them forever.

Enough of this meaningless bloodshed!

The time is now!

It only shows that our FG is blind to its responsibilities to protect us from all forms of Internal & External aggresion! Is bomb not a western device? DEATH to boko haram!

You want to declare war on an invisible force? Seems stupid, but go ahead, keep it above Benue and before Ondo though.

Who are Boko Haram members? Who are you going to fight? Ghosts?

Na u know the type of invisibility wey dem get! Are their members arrested and then released on bail while invisible?

When any of the following happens:

- Bombing of part of Aso Villa
- BH kill one very senior defence officer
- Bh maim the Children of some ministers/Governors

As long as its only affecting the common man forget. Na Still peace talk.

I predict, BK will step up their campaigns and become more audacious (I'm expecting an attack of epic proportions), Western allies will move in to curb the situation.
Outcome: Demarcation, Southern 'Niger Area' will be given autonomy just like Northern Iraq and the Kurds along with financial autonomy regarding oil receipts;

Only the British can successfully break apart what they forcefully created in the first place; hereby implementing the self fulfilling prophecy - "As it was in the beginning, so shall it be in the end"; Two separate and culturally distinctive countries.


In my humble opinion, it will be good ridance to bad, malfunctioning and impoverishing rubbish.

The whole of Nigeria will have a vote and it won't necessarily come out only North-South. The whole world is aware about the plight of the Niger delta even under their "southern brothers". Other groups like MASSOB will not miss this opportunity if there is a vote on a split.

True, but IMHO, the main issue confronting the South will be the practice of true Federalism, if SS are allowed to keep the proceeds of their Oil sales and mineral resources, and the same happens all over Southern Nigeria then MEND would not have a raison d'etre and neither would other militant organisations in other regions.

If the State was not acting as a massive Welfare State (dishing/doling out the receipts of Oil sales) then all regions would be forced to further develop their natural resources thus 'moving away from a State focused on distribution to a State based on Production' and wealth generation/creation. This is when we will really see how abundantly wealthy Southern Nigeria is.

Ofcourse, on the flip side of this argument, regions and ethnicities will be able to hold their leaders and elite accountable. There will be no excuses left for individuals or ethnic groups as they will have to confront their own self destructive demons.
