snthesis: the video (timeline 2.17) clearly shows Buhari claiming to stop the insurgence within "few" weeks if given a chance as president. now the problem is, this scenario can only play out if 1. he is the mastermind behind the insurgency as such he will simply call his boys to order 2. he is totally clueless and saying want the gullible folks want to hear
i will lean towards item 1 due to the fact that having attained the rank of General (merited or not) he will not be as stupid to say such an insurgence/guerrilla warfare can be resolved within weeks of attaining the post of President.
kernel504: I may like Jonathan, but then, it doesn't stop me from saying the truth. I believe Idris, because l've asked these questions over and over again, why couldn't Nigeria Army combat Boko Haram till weeks ago? Please, don't hurl insults... Simply be logical with your answers, thanks.
Read and reflect, I hope you will!
Sign agreement on no more killings, I will withdraw JTF, Jonathan to Borno elders March 09, 2013
PRESIDENT Goodluck Jonathan yesterday in Maiduguri, accused Borno State Elders of playing to the gallary over the activities of Boko Haram Islamic sect insurgency in the state, describing the situation as unfortunate.
Jonathan spoke during an interactive session with Borno State stakeholders at the Multi-Purpose Hall, Government House Maiduguri, in continuation of his two- day working visit to Borno and Yobe States, the epicentres of Boko Haram.
He was responding to requests by the Elders for the Federal Government to grant amnesty to the sect members as well as withdraw the military Joint Task Force, JTF from Maiduguri and other areas in the state during the second day of his working visit to Borno State..
President Jonathan lamented that none of the elders in the state had publicly condemned the killings and bombings being carried out by the sect members and advised them to put their ‘’house in order,’’ by talking to their children who had been causing havoc in the country to drop their arms against the country.
Buhari faults crackdown on Boko Haram JUNE 3, 2013
Presidential candidate for the Congress for Progressive Change in the 2011 Presidential election, Maj.-Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd), has frowned on the emergency rule in parts of the North. He alleged that innocent civilians were being killed in the states.
Buhari speaking during a Liberty FM Hausa Service Programme, Guest of the Week, on Sunday in Kaduna said that Boko Haram members were being killed and their houses demolished unlike the “special treatment” given to the Niger Delta militants by the Federal Government.
lewis33: d truth is out so chad were even d people to give the credit? hmnnnmm never again will I be supporting GEJ.
Far too many of us are GULLIBLE hence thieves pretending to be saints prey on us so easily.
The news of the OP is clearly and completely FAKE. If you find it on any credible newspaper, please share with us here.
Meanwhile, this is what the APC governor of Borno state had to say about the war against Boko Haram:
papaejima1: Nigerian Troops Responsible For Liberation Of Seized Towns – Shettima
Borno State Governor Kashim Shettima has yesterday said that 90 per cent of the ongoing battle to reclaim seized territories under the Boko Haram terrorists is being carried out by the Nigerian armed forces and not by the foreign troops as “wrongly” perceived by the media.
Shettima insisted that soldiers of Chad, Cameroon and Niger Republics cannot claim undue credits for the current successes being recorded over Boko Haram because the Nigerian forces are playing larger role in the exercise.
“We appreciate their efforts and support for the government of Nigeria, but it should be known that the bulk of the job of cleansing our society of these Boko Haram lunatics is being done by officers and men of the Nigerian armed forces who are ably supported by the Nigeria Air force”
nortcentrallord: You are a shining light in darkness. God bless you and you and all the good people will not suffer the great doom these gullible folks are calling on this nation. I just pray Nigerians will not wail and gnash their teeth after they finish selling their votes to dictators (Wolf in sheep's clothing).
Thanks for your prayers and kind words. May God richly help us realise the danger these broom-wielding coven dwellers represent.
Vision4God: God will do more for u. Congratulation.
.....coupled with his continuing DILIGENCE, hard work and smart exercise & constant stretching of the talent, knowledge and intelligence that God already deposited inside of him.
deemdeem: Goon, the Lagos project is not over. Its a continuous thing. While appreciating what Fashola has done so far with resources at his disposal, we recognise the need for Ambode to come in and continue.
But the Nigeria project is over, right
Listen to yourself!
I should have known I am dealing with a bunch of dubious jokers taking their fellow citizens for a ride after selling their birthrights for a proverbial bowl of porridge.
The plot thickens with a PROPAGANDA from a dubious APC source that definitely cannot reflect what the president of a neighbouring country would say EXCEPT he is OPENLY and unashamedly part of a conspiracy against the unity, peace and stability of our dear country.
Could that be the case of Idriss Deby
