Y are they all looking for ways to indict Christians? They know their 'brothers' are guilty, fault finding won't make them feel better. If they have any conscienc, let them live wit d guilt of wasting innocent lives.

Boko Haram is Highly Political.... Gej knows everything, the Northern Elites too knows stuffs hence, they don't condem the Boko Boys.... A 2nd Civil war is very very posible in Nigeria, a Time Bomb is ticking....but God Forbid!

You question applies to you more than it does me. You made a generalistic statement about Northern leaders and I showed you northern leaders that don't comply with your statement, so what's your point? Who is the mouthpiece of northern leaders that you want to condemn Boko-haram before you acknowledge that they are condemning them left, right and centre?
Does what Mark said preclude him from being a northern leader?
Why are IBB, Ciroma, Gusau and Buhari the mouthpiece for the north and not the ones I mentioned?

Even if u say they bear christian name,why are they still under the group that claimed to be Islamist? Can someone claim a name thats not his own just to disguise in one way or oda especially in nigeria system where there is no data for many? Why are the members worshipping in mosque?

I am more fearful of what the ordinary Nigerian makes of these trying times than the sum total of all the damages that can come from Boko-Haram! Rather than come to acceptance, we're all in denial; Christians say it's the Muslims, Muslims say it's the Christians, Northerners say it's the southerners and southerners say it's the northerners. Will we ever realise that the blame tradings will only result in an impasse at best, and can potentially turn into a full blown war in its worst form?

The sooner we accept that we are all just little pawns in this vicious plan of the powerful game masters, the more probable our chances of finding a solution to this problem become! I love Nigeria and Nigerians. I don't want to know of a Muslim north or a Christian south, all I want is a Nigeria united in a common goal for good. Is this too much to ask for?

Guys, let's stop seeing the other as evil please, for the sake of peace. Those of you agitating for separation, I want you to realise that Nigeria is better, stronger and more diverse united than divided. Have a good look at yourself in the mirror and sincerely look for what differentiates you from other tribes aside from your superficial features (eg language, religion, culture) and facades. I promise you that at the end of the day, you'll see that most of the things that make us different are things we didn't have any power over. So why kill or quarrel over such irrelevancies if you really couldn't change them? Do you not know that all there is to it; all that really matters is our single common denominator, our humanity!

Guys Biko, Ejoo, Dan Allah!

El-rufai shares another mans article on his wall and then the devilish Reno Omokri removes the part showing the name of the author to satisfy his blood thirsty pocket.

However, as long as Jona fails to act on this issue then it gives credence to the belief that Jona and the evil PDP have a hand in this. Reading Marks statement on this issue is enough to convince me that this is the case. The same Mark who benefited from the whole Northern arrangement and who is a known ally of IBB tells "northern leaders" to sort it out.

If Sambo, Mark and Tukur with the power and influence they possess cannot sway the north in the direction of peace then they should just send in their resignation letters. They are as good as useless.

Nairaland are very good in ad hominem. Why cant any of you refute the above mention facts with fact without personal attacks. Boko Haram has been hijacked by opportunist..

BUMPS

There is something amiss with the northern elites positions on national problems. It seems that for some reason they can only see their side of the argument. Not only that, they will go to great lengths to painstakingly assemble "their brand of facts" to support those arguments. I don't know whether this is due to religious or cultural disposition, but this has come across too often to be considered mere accident.

This is not to promote any kind of tribalism but based on actual observations, so let me mention a couple of examples, starting with Mr. El-Rufai himself:

1. Mr. El-Rurai wrote below that some northern leaders are being made to appear like they were responsible for Boko Haram because they lost power. You would think these northern leaders were some innocent by-standers. But infact, many of these so-called leaders repeatedly and openly promised to make Nigeria ungovernable for GEJ if he became the PDP candidate and president - and in fact specifically referred to violent resistance. Buhari went around town during the election with a spear, instead of the pen of the CPC logo, promising fire and brimstone if the election doesn't turn out as expected. Right after the election many of our fellow-men were murdered in cold blood because of the election, and since then the rebellion of Boko Haram took unimaginable dimensions. Given these facts, it makes sense to link the Boko Haram insurgency to these "promises". Besides, Mr. El-Rufai did not raise his voice at those northern leaders when they made those unpatriotic statements, but finds it convenient to react to GEJ's, admittedly bumbling response and statements, to the violence.

2. Another example is the behavior of the governor of Nigeria's "37th state - the CBN ", SLS, when he attempted to smuggle Islamic banking into the system. The biggest defense the man came up with was to claim that the previous Igbo CBN governor and Igbo businessmen were behind the Islamic banking idea. Of course, we now know better, but to buttress my points above it is exactly the same counter-arguments used by El-Rufai.

3. Lastly, El-Rufai's list consisted of incidents that one may unfortunately refer to as "small potatoes" if all the dastardly act by Boko Haram were counted - arrested/unfinised plans or small incidents. What about the Kabiru Sokotos and the scandal of the police officer that let him escaped - showing the connection of "this" faction of BH to the highest echelon of the northern elite, what about the Senator that got arrested for Boko Haram activities, what about regular video releases by Boko Haram, what about the ex-soldier that was recently killed, what about the BH spokesman that was arrested, etc. How could the list assembled by El-Rufai account for the large scale murder in Kano that led to the mass exodus of non-northerners out of the city. This is not to deny that some of the incidences listed by El-Rufai happened, but to emphasize that the main faction of BH appears to emanate directly from a mix of religious extremists and northern politicians.

I don't know what El-Rufai was trying to say but his list and write-up is very cynical, and overlooks the real dangers that BH poses to the northern elite, northerners and Nigeria in general. One fact is clear, BH will consume the likes of El-Rufai if they don't start seeing the problem for what it is - political and religious fanaticism that is gradually establishing a firm link to the global terrorist network.

The northern elite, as the main beneficiaries of the largesse of the "Nigerian" state, need to come up with workable solutions to the crisis in their backyard, rather than unexcusable excuses. The clock is ticking!

crux84: Is Boko Haram real or the metaphor of an agenda against a section of the country? - asks Aminu Sarki.....

Agenda against the North, Hausa/Fulani and Islam

Evidence:

So, without doubt there is Boko Haram which aims to establish, according to them, a just social system of governance as they understand it, which path to its establishment is strewn with violence and there is a “Boko Haram” which uses the violence of the authentic sect as a cover for its own violence aimed at psychological warfare, the need to maintain the status quo of northern division and to, through massive propaganda, cast a select set of northern leaders or politicians as sponsors of terrorism “because they have lost political power.” Any objective observer couldn’t have missed how through massive propaganda certain northern politicians are being made to look like the sponsors of the terror group because of their insistence on President Jonathan to honour the zoning agreement of his party, the P.D.P., cleverly avoiding the fact that the terror group’s existence preceded the zoning debate. In fact, this deliberate misinformation and miseducation will benefit more those who want to perpetuate the ethno-religious division in the north as these select northern leaders are cast in the mould of the Hausa/Fulani enemies of Christianity bent on enslaving or exterminating the northern minority tribes to engender a Hausa/Fulani hegemony or oligarchy. This latter “Boko Haram” could possibly be a mix of some Christian and Muslim psychopaths who can do any work for money in the same fashion as there are gangs of armed robbers with memberships cutting across religious and ethnic lines.

Evidences of my claim are:

(1.) The reported arrest of the suspects that sprayed bullets on the Gombe Deeper Life Church worshippers of which the suspects arrested were alleged to be Igbos. Keen observers would remember that “Boko Haram” claimed responsibility for that attack. Noteworthy also is the fact that the arrested suspects were moved from Gombe to Abuja and since then nothing has been heard about them.

(2.) Shortly after the Gombe Deeper Life Church massacre, following quickly also after the Gombe township bombing fiesta two men, named Hassan Ojudu and Samaila Yakubu, all of them Christians, were arrested in the same Gombe town with a vehicle loaded with explosive devices and ammunitions. If they were part of those who did the bombing fiesta Christians should note that “Boko Haram” also claimed responsibility, and if they were not a part of the bombing fiesta be assured that if they had not been arrested and they succeeded in using their own merchandise “Boko Haram” would have claimed responsibility. Curiously, since they were moved to Abuja nothing has been heard about them.

(3.) If the eight COCIN church members arrested with explosive devices at the Miya-Barkatai branch of the church in Bauchi State had succeeded in detonating what they were arrested with, be assured “Boko Haram” would have claimed responsibility and since the village is near Jos, Plateau State some brainwashed youths with hearts filled with hate would begin to pounce on any available Hausa/Fulani on sight for revenge.

(4.) If Miss Lydia Joseph had succeeded in burning down the St. John Catholic church in Bauchi city be assured it would have been attributed to Boko Haram or to Muslims.

(5.) If Emmanuel King, the guy who disguised as a Muslim wearing a turban and kaftan, had succeeded in bombing down the Redeemed Christian Church of God in Yenagoa the Bayelsa capital “Boko Haram” would have claimed responsibility, and the intended desire for reprisal would have further brought the real desire, which is polarization. It doesn’t matter whether the guy is sane or insane as he was later touted to be. Also, possibly in further pursuit of this polarization agenda some persons were reported to have burnt down a worship centre of the Church of God Mission International in Port Harcourt, the Rivers State capital as reported by the LEADERSHIP newspaper of Sunday, January 15, 2012 on page 9. Who did it may not be known now, but there is the possibility it could have been meant to trigger some kind of attacks against some undesirable elements with the added benefit of maintaining a national division.

(6.) If Madam Ruth had succeeded in bombing down the ECWA church in the Kalarin area of Kaltungo in Gombe State verily, verily I say unto thee “Boko Haram” would have claimed responsibility notwithstanding whether she was hypnotized or not as some may want to claim.

(7.) After the COCIN church headquarters bombing in Jos defence authorities issued a statement disclaiming the man lynched while trying to escape from the vicinity as not a soldier, whereas the man was wearing military uniform and was later identified as a member of the church. To lend credence to this possibility the Special Task Force (STF) on security in Jos on Sunday, March 25, 2012 paraded one Mr. Alex Danladi who was caught wearing army camouflage t-shirt, cap and boot while parading himself as a soldier. He was paraded alongside one Mr. Dung Bulus, a suspected fabricator of guns and some others whom the authorities said are students of the University of Jos. Also on Tuesday, March 27, 2012 the 2 Brigade, Nigeria Army, Bori Camp, Port Harcourt paraded one Abba Ibrahim allegedly caught with military uniforms and other gear including weeds suspected to be cannabis. He was said to be a dismissed military personnel and hails from Billiri, a predominantly Christian town in Gombe State and that at the time of his arrest he was standing trial for another case of impersonation (see THE NATION newspaper of Wednesday, March 28, 2012 page 57). Now, for a fee wouldn’t this Alex Danladi, donning his military gear, ask some persons manning some church entrance to open the gates and some paid murderers would drive in and detonate their bomb laden car? Or wouldn’t this Abba Ibrahim do the same for money?

(8.) On January 11, 2012 two Nigerians named, Sunday Eze from Anambra State and Samuel Taiwo from Ogun State and some three Ghanaians were arrested in Ghana with some heavy weaponry carefully concealed in a truck, which was to be brought to Nigeria. Opposing bail for the suspects in court on Tuesday, March 27, 2012 the Office of the Attorney-General of the Republic of Ghana said “the arms and ammunitions seized on transit to Nigeria were to be used to fuel terrorists’ activities in the country.” See the DAILY TRUST newspaper of Wednesday, March 28, 2012 page 3. These Nigerian suspects are from southern Nigeria and bear Christian names. So, on whose behalf were they bringing in those arms of which the Ghanaian authorities said were to be used for terrorism in Nigeria? And which terror group do they belong to?

(9.) On Tuesday, April 10, 2012 a 38 yea- old man named Monday Davou was arrested while planting a timed Improvised Explosive Device (IED) or time bomb, if you like, at the Makera weekly market in Riyom Local Government Area, Plateau State. This was with intent to commit mass murder, for that is what planting a bomb in a market will do. Now if Monday Davou’s bomb had exploded be sure that a “Boko Haram” spokesperson will have claimed responsibility and even before the statement of claim comes Monday Davou’s kinsmen would have launched “reprisal attacks” on any person that looked like Hausa/Fulani and their properties, and would have probably roasted some of the Hausa/Fulanis and eaten them like they did sometime in 2011.

(10.) The DAILY SUN newspaper of Monday, February 20, 2012 on page 12 reported the arrest in Akure, Ondo State of a gang of five armed robbers led by one Evangelist Wale Adelu, “an evangelist of one of the old generation churches, which has branches in the state capital…..and they were said to be meeting in his church before they proceeded on any robbery operation.” Wouldn’t this “evangelist” and his gang agree to bomb churches for a good fee?

(11.) Similarly, the SATURDAY SUN newspaper of Saturday, March 10, 2012 on page 10 reported that 11 cartons of explosives imported from South Africa and “carefully packaged to beat security checks” were intercepted by the Nigerian Customs Service (NCS) at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos. The consignments were said to be for “Miero Marble Granite and Stones Limited in Kaduna State, with one Mr. Michael Awara Ernest as the representative to collect the explosives at the cargo terminal.” The Customs Area Controller in charge of the airport, Mr. Charles EporweiEdike while parading the suspect said “If these items were released to him, they could have been used to cause mayhem; we are now going to hand him and the items over to the police for further investigations.” Well, since the handover to the police nothing has been heard about it again. And let the Muslims bearing Michael Awara Ernest step forward to the nearest police post for proper identification and documentation, please.

(12.) The THISDAY newspaper of Friday, January 13, 2012 on page 6 culled a news report from the BBC in which a British-based arms dealer, Gary Hyde was being prosecuted in a London court for unlawfully arranging the shipment of about 80, 000 guns and 32 million rounds of ammunition from China to Nigeria in 2007. But, the big question is, to whom did he make his shipment? To Muslim radicals or to some church going criminals?

(13.) On Sunday, February 19, 2012 four persons were arrested while trying to detonate explosives at the St. Theresa’s Catholic Parish, High-level in Makurdi the Benue State capital. The LEADERSHIP newspaper of Wednesday, February 22, 2012 on page 10 reported the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) of the state’s command, Mr. Alaribe Ejike as saying those four persons arrested were Christians and not Boko Haram members as speculated by members of the public. He said “We are still trying to find out certain things about them, but we have not confirmed whether they are Boko Haram members. It remains one thing, and as soon as we find out, we shall inform you accordingly.” Up till now nothing has been heard from the police. But, poor Alaribe Ejike may not have known that there is a “Boko Haram” with members possibly cutting across religious lines impersonating Boko Haram for some people’s strategic interests.

These few examples are possible involvements of Christians in betraying the church and Christians and the nation.

This doesn't make sense.

Are you suggesting to us that the "unhijacked Boko Haram" was desirable? If no, then there is absolutely no distinction between one Boko Haram and the other. They all need to be dealt with ASAP.

These attempts to distinguish one Boko Haram from the other is a complete waste of time, other than as an aid in efforts to deal with them all.

Jikan Hauwa: Nairaland are very good in ad hominem. Why cant any of you refute the above mention facts with facts... without personal attacks. Boko Haram has been hijacked by opportunist..

If you are a youth, an xtian or a southerner, pls help in enlightening Nigerians about this arch tribalist and Islamic fundamentalist and terrorist called Hell Rufai. Especially people from Yoruba land must be aware that Hell Rufai is an organic evil that must be avoided. Yes, GEJ has under performed but that does not mean that we shall succumb to terrorists like Hell Rufai. Although the write up was written by another Northern Boko haram semi illiterate, Hell Rufai has expressed similar views on Twitter countless times.

vicoloni: I second the motion for his arrest. In a sane society, he has said enough to attract arrest and interogation.

It's high time we stop being sentimental on national issue. The menace of boko haram has cost us more than we can bear in this country. That guy is making sense, all we need do is view issue broadly so that the problem activities of boko haram can be grounded to a halt.

El Rufai, u are a top sponsor of BH, u are a wicked man and u will nt have PEACE. Ur stupid aim is to bring confusion into Nigeria and not resolving the issue at hand. U are also included in the American Terrorist watch list US will hunt u down and ur Boko boys.

God will expose all of tht is making Nigeria to be ungovernable. Boko boys continue the bombing God is most powerful than all your sponsors wealth put together. Arewa i know all u guys have a hand in this but the battle is of the Lord and u all will be expose.

For all u Boko boys tht change their names to christian when u are bn cut jst continue because all of will continually be caught.

For u El Rufai shut up and u will soon be exposed u and other sponsors.

Hell-rufai = bokoharam
he seem to a lot about
boko operation and propa
ganda,
i second the motion for
his arrest

El-rufai or whwt ever u called urself be careful of whwt u are spitting out of that ur venom. This man need to be arrested, he knows something about BH that is y he is trying to share the blame b/w Christian N Moslem when it is very clear that Christian are the prime target of BH, When have we heard that 2 or 3 bombs has exploded on a friday in Mosques at different locations. In summary Aboki is an Aboki anytime anyday be careful of them.

mad man!
