Whether its Buhari, Atiku or anybody, Yes Boko Haram will still be present because Boko Haram was present too during Yar Adua but restricted their venom to Borno until federal govt killed their leader and they brought their war to them in Abuja.
Northern political elite are more afraid of Boko Haram than their southern counterparts. Go and ask Atiku, the last time he slept in Maiduguri due to Boko Haram.
I find it extremely difficult to understand how even young IPOD generation can still be manipulated this way in this 21st century by this inept govt of Nigeria?

Jonathan during the last election, managed to convince you people that you are not voting for PDP but him and now he is at it again, that BOKO HARAM is all about him. His own way of directing attention away from his incompetence rulership.

[b]Al Qaeda [/b]has infiltrated into Nigeria through Boko Haram, instead of Jonathan to start in ernest to combat them, he kept telling people that Boko Haram was political tool against his presidency and funny enough some moronic Nigerians are buying this wicked spin all over again, just as they did during the fresh AIR nonsense.
WAKE UP PEOPLE- please!!

In other words Gen Azazi has failed in his duties as NSA

Gbawe:
Indeed. I used to be polite to Beaf till his uncouth mouth actually mentioned my mother . Next minute, he is pretending to be the victim. Nairaland has too many lady-boy p.us.sies who don't understand , fundamentally, that "dont throw blows if you can't take blows" .

If you appeal for us to respect the President then you must also consistently appeal for nairalanders to respect other leaders . They deserve respect too. The bigots like Beaf, PointB, Johndoe are the worst. Beaf , for example , is busy talking up how "drunken fisherman" is insultive yet him and his crew are throwing around "aregbe-sewer" , Aregbe-Rascal, "drug baron controlled South West", etc, etc .

Abeg, OP should ask for all leaders to be respected otherwise he is a hypocrite to me. At least some of us still remember how to be real men with how we prefer to reply unprovoked attack in kind rather than crying like wimps or appeasing idiots , like Beaf and co, who are only capable of interpreting civility to mean weakness.

maclatunji:
It seems you are not getting it Beaf. You are no longer in opposition. You cannot be using opposition tactics whilst still in government. Okay, the GEJ administration is being opposed by powerful forces in the North. Question is: what is the government doing about it apart from whining and playing to the gallery?

My little experience of public office is that people appreciate sincere and genuine efforts to make their lives better!

Tell GEJ to be brave, do the right thing for Nigerians and leave the 2015 elections in the hands of God without scheming or trying to manipulate the country to his advantage and we can begin to sing his praises and can even be friends!

Big B1:
@Beaf: It isn't IBB or myself, so don't hate.
Instead, Just look closer into your oga's eyes, it won't take you too long to realize that he can not survive without constantly contacting IBB for advise; it is written all over his face. In fact, he still stated this fact just last week.

We all need a shoulder to lean and cry on; it is what it is.

maclatunji:
Excuse me? Get jittery over what? In one instant you dissociate yourself from the implication of making a criminal issue a big political deal. Next, you are saying that it is actually political and people are afraid. Afraid of what?

maclatunji:
Okay, does it matter whether or not Boko Haram is a political tool? Their criminal deeds are known all over the world. Why not go and get them? Instead of asking whether they are political, mechanical, botanical, chemical or comical.

maclatunji:
Is Beaf suggesting that Boko Haram will be given a free reign of terror once it can be proved that it is a political tool  ? At this rate, the international community may decide to select a Prefect to oversee Nigeria before the incompetence of the country's leadership gets out of hand and starts to affect their interests negatively.

Nigerian Conspirationists Are As Dumb As A Rock - No Insult Intended

Big B1:
Jonathan will/can not survive a day without contacting IBB for prescription.
FACT: IBB happens to be Jonathan's number 1 and only trusted political friend in the entire country.

By the end of the year we shall all have an idea of who is really running the show in Abuja.

Just chill out and see.

Money always leaves a trace, our security guys will just need to work with the finance guys, there was also a project to do legal interception some years back, they need to resuscitate that program ( as long as they use it for the right purpose). The guys making apologies were just afraid for their lives as they did not have state protection again. It is obvious that Boko Haram is both political and religious, the religious side is easy to deal with (no sane person wants extremists close by), the political side is where GEJ is failing, he needs to deal with just one of the sponsors and others will get the message.

hercules07:
Tribune is too political for my liking jare, if the government knows the sponsors, it is easy to catch them, I am sure the boko haramites are spending money, squeeze them where it hurts, track their spendings, thank God that Sanusi is moving to electronic banking, that will at least help to track money being spent.

Worried by escalating attacks by the Boko Haram insurgents, the presidency is reported to have established contacts with retired security chiefs, top among whom is the former National Security Adviser, General Aliyu Gusau.

Dependable administration source told the Nigerian Tribune that the contacts were made soon after the UN House bombing and a recent discovery of a wide range of lapses within the security apparatus.

While the source could not identify the specific role expected of General Gusau, it was learnt that the contact was made in preparation for the long awaited restructuring of the security services by President Goodluck Jonathan.

A foreign friendly intelligence agency was reported to have recommended the Zamfara security chief as the best resource person for President Jonathan in his bid to tackle the menace of the Boko Haram sect and handle whatever political undertone there may be in the insurgency.

General Gusau, who also sought the presidential ticket of the PDP, was reported to have responded positively to the overture from the presidency, even though the discussion was said to be in the early stage.

A wing within the presidency was said to have concluded that Boko Haram is a continuation of politics by terrorism and that at the heart of the insurgency was the 2015 presidency which the North suspected President Jonathan has ceded to the South-East.

[size=14pt]Suicide bombing: FG uncovers ‘political Boko Haram’ •Alleged sponsors under close watch •CIA, SSS, Mi5, MOSSAD, KGB move in [/size]

INTELLIGENCE networks working on the incessant bomb blasts being perpetrated by the Boko Haram sect are said to have uncovered  what is called  “political Boko Haram,” said to be the brains behind some recent attacks by the group.

Sources in the administration told the Nigerian Tribune that signals from the Intelligence networks had consistently been pointing to the involvement of certain political forces in the Boko Haram menace.

The plot, according to a report already in possession of the administration, was to consistently put it under check and eventually derail its programmes.

The political Boko Haram was said to be the brain child of some influential persons, who were said to have recently linked up with the original Boko Haram to execute their agenda.

“There are two wings of Boko Haram. Contrary to the claim that the group got split into two camps, the two original camps are still one on the religious front. But right now, the intelligence agencies have uncovered the religious Boko Haram and the political Boko Haram,” a source said on Wednesday.

The source said the fight of the political Boko Haram was a 2015 battle, adding that it was aimed at positioning some elements in the northern part of Nigeria as veritable candidates to inherit power.

It was learnt that the said sponsors of political Boko Haram were pushing to recoup whatever they felt they had lost in the years of the late president, Alhaji Umaru Yar’Adua and President Goodluck Jonathan.

“While the religious Boko Haram operates from Maiduguri, Borno State and they believe that they will not relent until they revenge the killing of their leader, Mohammed Yusuf, the political Boko Haram has seen the sect as a strong medium to push a sectional agenda,” a source said.

It was learnt that  some top political figures were already under close watch as a result of the discovery, as the administration had also sent words to the international community about the dimensions of what is regarded as “contrived insecurity” in Nigeria.

“The government already has full intelligence on all those involved. Their identities are being unfolded every day. It is clear that they lately saw the need to lump an unclear religious agenda and another shadowy political move together,” a source stated.

It was learnt that all previous utterances and posturing of certain key politicians are being further X-rayed, in an attempt to fully analyse the dimensions of the political Boko Haram.

A source also confirmed that the international intelligence networks, including the  Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), Israel’s MOSSAD, the Mi5 in the United Kingdom (UK) and the Russian KGB were already in the full picture of the security grand plan.

UK High Commission reviews security arrangements
Following the bomb blast which ripped through the United Nations House in Abuja, security arrangements at the United Kingdom High Commissions across the country are currently being reviewed.

The review, according to findings by the Nigerian Tribune, was going to affect operations of the embassy in the country.

Confirming this to the Nigerian Tribune, the spokesperson of the commission, Hooman Nouruzi, however, said the commission would resume full range of services today after the sallah holidays.

He said commission would continue to operate a full visa service in the country, though there were likely to be some delays in the processing of applications.

“We ask that those wishing to apply for a UK visa do so at least one month ahead of planned travel dates,” he said.

@ Beaf,

U make me laugh wt your childish tactic. U want me to validate my point when u havnt raised any to invalidate it. No no no, I don't have to. U think u will hav me running around because " u said so"? Is dat how u hav come to see urself? U r irredeemably pathetic.

Well, I hav given d info, u r not obliged to accept it, r u? Surely not! It's only a fool dt engages your type in fruitless internet jabs.

Hav better things to do dn engaging u. So abeg park for one side,

@ Beaf,

I didn't invent any law. I simply explained how d mill runs. I don't hav to get prejudiced and argue from point of ignorance, do I ?

I only expect u to come out wt a clear and concise explanation to counter mine if u know so much.

It's always honourable to own up dt u don't know certain things and keep quiet than go rambling all over d place.

abelian:
and there is no oil reserve in lagos?

homerac7:
Arguments from points of prejudice kill objectivity.

Coastline belongs to d FG.

Accessing d ecological fund is through standard protocols. Once d protocol is initiated, d FG is obliged to respond appropriately.

Now, there r emergency and disaster situations.

Emergency is when certain accident is beyond a state capacity to handle. It sends an emergency call to d FG and FG is obliged by same protocol to respond immediately to assess d situation and take over remedial action.

If during assessment, FG feels dt d damages is of great proportion, it declares disaster. When disaster is declared, certain other mechanisms r by dt activated.

Between states of emergency and disaster is d process and mechanism for accessing ecological fund. It's purely systematic and "NORMALLY" has nothing to do wt political nuances or geopolitical location.

It's purely irresponsible for anyone to assume and argue dt d FG is not obliged to respond to emergency calls from state.
*********************************************

Ocean body level rising might be a global phenomenon. Lagos beach line challenge is accentuated by man made activities wc d FG is inexcusable from.

Bar beach erosion was caused by d construction of a barricade at d apapa port inlet to prevent silting/sand deposition by cycling waves sweeping across d face of west Africa coast into Gulf of Guinea.

The interruption of d natural flow led to erosion problems downstream, wc is bar beach. FG actually solved d problem by sand filling d beach head, but dt in itself only pushed d problem further downstram to ibeju lekki area, wc is where u have alpha beach. Mind u, bar beach was sand filled to save VI. The environment effect of Eko Atlantic City will b very minuscule and if any at all, b further downstream. Someone is yet tshow me d environmental effect of VI creation. Of course it a mostly sandfilled place too.

So going by ds short explanation, d problem at hand is fully n FG obligation.
