I don't think so,dis government knows what they are doing,why is all this BOMBs only happened in d north? Do u think somebody will like 2 destroy his own house? Again 99 percent of the victims of BOKO HARAM are muslims,like OKA HENRY said government are behind ALL this BOMBINGS. If something like this happened w we shouldn't be bias. Are this ppl (fulanis) not nigerians? Y mst dey be EVACUATED? U fOolS this Government can't do anything 2 ISLAM and the MUSLEMS. Islam is a religion of peace not terrorist as claimed by US and 9ja,go nd do a research abt Islam ok?

T9ksy: Hmmmmmm........g/luck as you all, sure gonna need it!!

patriot2: I read the history books in a library in London and I saw documentaries. The Bini defeated the british in 1895, and then the british took two years to prepare a military expedition and came back in 1897 and won the war. get educated, or at least seek from books which were not written by some igbo story teller. See you slave.

patriot2: what I hate with you is your lack of modesty and your unilateral discussion. You are not even Edo, yet you claim you know better about Edo than an Edo. You seem to have predicted the future for everybody in Edostate. You keep insulting the only empire which really fought the british (tell me what fight the igbos put against the british ? ) You coward bunch of cannibals were rushing to their churches in order to convert and therefore avoid being killed. Mumus ! you are not better than the haussas who chose to bow down to fulani. I.diots, you have no glory, you filthy slave recipients, you are born to be our slaves and slaves in general: in edo igbo which is the name we gave to you means slave; So go to hell. you are beneath me!!!!!! All you do is try to bring down people with Glory such as the Edos and the Yorubas, where is your own glory ? there is none, you are a slave, slave you shall remain.

alaoeri: And they want to carve part of benue as biafra.

dayokanu: These descendants of cannibals who are hated by everyone. Everyone doesnt want anything to do with the useless Igbos. Hausas hate you, Beroms hate you, Tivs dont care about you, SS minorities all want to get rid of you, Yorubas cant stand you.

Why dont you get youur criminal asss back to the red clay, erosion headquarters in Alayibo, So that Osisikankwu, Clifford orji and Vincent Duru can feast on your asss. Any Igbo that want to make it must leave that cursed land they call home.

When has a Igbo man contested for presidency before? Always queuing behind their slave masters.

Azikwe queued behind balewa, Ekwueme for Shagari, Sylvester Ugo for Tofa. Show us any Igbo that contested for president as a fore runner Like Abiola, Awolowo or Like Obasanjo. Igbos are always begging to be assisiant this, Vice that, no initiative of their own

Bloody cannibals. If its not drug trafficking in Malaysia, Its 419 in Brazil(Nwude, Anajemba)or fraud like Tobechukwu Onwuhara. No empire came out of the SE, bunch of cannibals roaming around the forest better thank the white men came to save them from your ancestors from their neighbours cooking pot

Beaf: How does where you live affect the argument?

Beaf: Exactly!
States like Ebonyi, Ekiti, Osun etc are very poor and undeveloped, yet they do not have boko haram. I wonder why?

Anyway, I believe that Obama is actually talking about failure of govt at LG and state levels; the US is not like Nigeria, where people feel that every mention of govt means the FG. The failures that created almajiri's, sharia etc are all at state and LG levels. It is states and LG's that provide schools, not the FG.

Beaf: 85% of Nigeria's indigenious oil blocks are illegally owned by core-Northerners numbering less than a 100. These men make more than twice as much money per annum than the entire Niger Delta [/b]put together.

The oil wells owned by the late Mai Deribe from [b]Bornu, make billions EVERY DAMN DAY. The man even has gold plated walls in his house.
What state is the capital of boko haram again?

namfav: hopefully you will all go back to your land if it happens, all of you from every corner in the world , keep your drugs in biafra also some people will definitely try make it as an opportunity to do illegal things

Aigbofa: We don't partner with losers anyway. Yorubas would say "If anyone promises to buy you clothes, you must look at what he is wearing"

Chile Eboe-Osuji, has clinched one of the six seats on the bench of the ICC

shymmex: ^^^^^That's it there people! I have been saying the same thing for so long - but people keep calling me a conspiracy theorist...

Boko Haram is not a religious battle - it's more political with foreign sponsors..

Boko Haram is a covert operation by CIA/MOSSAD/MI6 in conjunction with disgruntled Nigerian politicians..

Suicide bombing is drug influenced, not ideology - I think bayooooooooooooooooo should see this... This bs has CIA written all over it, only a simpleton who knows nothing about international politics will disagree.

It's a chess game.

Beaf: It was under Yar Adua that Nigeria first popped into the failed state rankings as 17, then 19, 15 and finally the current wretched 14.

GEJ inherited the number 14 ranking from Yar Adua, but we thank God that things have not worsened dramatically as they did under Yar Adua, we are still stable at 14 and will surely be out of that ranking in the next couple of years.

[size=18pt]Again, Nigeria Ranked 14th Failed Country[/size]

NIGERIA now ranks among the top 10 failed states in Africa and 14th in the world, a global body, the Fund For Peace (FFP) declared in its 2012 annual Index Data released on Friday.

The war-torn Somalia tops the global list, which comprised 177 countries with Congo Democratic Republic and Sudan ranked second and third respectively.

Afghanistan, which had for several years, interchangeably dominated the number one spot, dropped to number six, after Chad and Zimbabwe which placed fourth and fifth in that order.

FFP is an independent, non-partisan non-profit research and educational organisation that works to prevent violent conflict and promote sustainable security.

Going by the latest index data, Nigeria has gained two points having been ranked eight failed state in the continent, while she retained the 14th in the world.

The country trails behind Pakistan, Guinea, Cote d’Ivoire, Central African Republic, Iraq, Yemen and Haiti.

According to the FFP, a total of 12 criteria were applied in arriving at the ranking that showed a relative better rating for such other African countries like Madagascar, Comoros Island, Djibouti, Libya, Zambia, Burkina Faso, Togo, Mauritania, Malawi and Rwanda than Nigeria among the list of the failed states.

Some of the core criteria included security apparatus, factionalised elite, legitimacy of the state, external intervention, poverty and economic decline, uneven development, group grievance and demographic pressures, human flight and public services.

Some of these factors, which had become pronounced in the country in the last couple of years, have culminated in restiveness among the citizens and triggered calls for a national conference to enable the country chart a new course.

But the establishment has consistently toed the path of constitutional amendment, ostensibly because of the demand in many quarters for a conference with sovereign powers.

Besides, the nation has been contending with security challenges across the country, some of which include the menace of banditry and kidnapping in some states in the southern part of the country.

However, the greatest security challenge had been the activities of the Boko Haram sect, whose members have persistently engaged in serial bombings with the accompany deaths of hundreds of innocent cities and destruction of invaluable property.

The frightening dimension of the mindless killings had led to some senior citizens warning against what they described as the Somalialisation of the country in apparent reference to Somalia, which has been remained ungovernable owing to the endless activities of factional groups trying to control the North African country.

It neither has a central government nor any regional government that could claim to be in charge of its sovereignty.

Nigeria has remained in the top bracket of countries categorized as failed nations in the last three years.

Soyinka’s Warning Of Somalia, Boko Haram Menace, Economic Crises. According to the domentary, some countries fail spectacularly, with a total collapse of all state institutions, as in Afghanistan after the Soviet withdrawal and the hanging of President Mohammad Najibullah from a lamppost, or during the decade-long civil war in Sierra Leone, where the government ceased to exist altogether.

Most countries that fall apart, however, do so not with a bang but with a whimper. They fail not in an explosion of war and violence but by being utterly unable to take advantage of their society’s huge potential for growth, condemning their citizens to a lifetime of poverty. This type of slow, grinding failure leaves many countries in sub-Saharan Africa, Asia, and Latin America with living standards far, far below those in the West.

What’s tragic is that this failure is by design. These states collapse because they are ruled by what is called “extractive” economic institutions, which destroy incentives, discourage innovation, and sap the talent of their citizens by creating a tilted playing field and robbing them of opportunities. These institutions are not in place by mistake but on purpose. They’re there for the benefit of elites who gain much from the extraction — whether in the form of valuable minerals, forced labour, or protected monopolies — at the expense of society. Of course, such elites benefit from rigged political institutions too, wielding their power to tilt the system for their benefit.

But states built on exploitation inevitably fail, taking an entire corrupt system down with them and often leading to immense suffering.

Beaf: Poor El Rufai! He has made himself into an object of ridicule with his childish and desperately red-eyed posts on twitter!
Thank God for twitter! Lol! Many now know the depths of emptiness and mindless hatred that emanate from that forlorn soul.

Beaf: I'm getting tired of the silly remarks some people post without thinking. NL is a forum many foreigners use, yet we Nigerians use it as a means to portray ourselves as completely instinctive and utterly lacking in cerebral abilities.

This has to stop. For goodness sake, we are talking about life and death here.

I wish Dasuki goodluck and pray that he succeeds. He must have a couple of levers he can pull, because 3 weeks is a very short time and his promise is very confident.
Lets hope the senseless killings come to an end.

Obalufon: You mean your people have no history. i know you people were called naked people in those days , no clothing culture, you were known for your cannibalism and bestiality "PROVE ME WRONG ".Why your people like to discriminate. Human came from one source. Ewe are from ketu , we have long history together culturally and traditionally.
