From the Ijaw Youth Council (IYC), Western Zone came a warning at the weekend on President Goodluck Jonathan not to grant amnesty to the Boko Haram fundamentalists. The sect had made Borno and other states in the North ungovernable recently. With the warning came a damning verdict from Gen Muhammadu Buhari saying the government can’t handle the sect.

And bothered by the attacks in Northern parts of the country by suspected Boko Haram members, churches now frisk their congregation at the gates before being allowed entry. A number of churches had been bombed lately by people suspected to be Boko Haram, even as a director in the Amnesty Office in the Presidency called for a programme to cater for youths.

But the IYC argued that there was no comparison between the Niger Delta militants and the Boko Haram sect. It decried the comparison of the Islamic fundamentalists and Niger Delta combatants.

In a communique issued at the weekend after the zonal meeting in Arogbo, Ondo State, the IYC warned: “ If the Federal Government should bow to calls for amnesty for Boko Haram, the fund accruing from the Niger Delta oil should never be contemplated to facilitate such amnesty programme.
“While the council condemns the activities of Boko Haram in strong terms and maintained that there was no basis for comparison, as some have done, of the Moslem group with Niger Delta combatants fighting for the criminal neglect of the region by the Federal Government that feeds fat from its resources,” the statement further added.

The Ijaw group, however, hailed President Jonathan on the re-appointment of Kingsley Kuku as Special Adviser on Niger Delta Affairs, adding that Kuku had applied his “wealth of experience in fast-tracking the amnesty programme.”

The IYC, among other things, tasked President Jonathan to establish standard tertiary institutions in Ijawland “to reconcile the backward region to the rest of the country,” adding: “To that effect, Congress calls on the Delta State Government to properly fund the Delta State Institute of Marine Technology, Burutu to enable it succeed in its purpose.”

Meanwhile, the presidential candidate of the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC), General Buhari has bemoaned the insecurity in the nation, saying the President cannot handle the Boko Haram sect.
The former military Head of State, who spoke through his spokesman, Mr. Yinka Odumakin, noted that the major issue is that we live in denial in this country and we don’t want to get to the root cause of all problems, saying we just see them on the surface.

“The issue of Boko Haram has become a major security challenge and like many other groups that are taking up arms against the state, they are products of injustices.
“When you look at the Boko Haram, Boko Haram is an anarchist group that is a response to the neglect of the poor, to the kind of inequality in the society that has confined majority to poverty, while a few take all the goods of the society.

“And these people are responding to the crisis in their own way and in the process, have taken up arms.
“I have not seen any issue where the President has shown capacity that he can address Nigeria today. He has not shown that he can address any serious issue confronting the country,” Buhari said.
On the way forward in putting to rest, the insecurity in the nation, Buhari said it is so clear that the signs are not very good at all, adding that they are dangerous signals.
“Only this morning, we read in the papers that some groups are circulating leaflets in our 10 states in the North, that they are also Christian militants and that they are ready to engage Boko Haram.
“If care is not taken, I think those are dangerous signals and rather than engaging or encouraging this kind of thing, because when you look at the country where this kind of thing is happening, it is a bad signal and we have just been rated as the 14th most failed country in the world.

“If you allow this kind of thing to go on unchecked, uncontrolled and without a serious approach, which requires sophisticated thinking, we will be heading for trouble in this country,” Buhari said.
While saying that Nigeria needs serious leadership at this moment and not politics, Buhari also said that “with what we have seen in the last one year, we want to play politics with security at every critical juncture,” saying “that is why we have not been able to address the question of security challenge.”
On its part, a director in the Amnesty office in the Presidency, Dr. Ferdinand Ikwang, said agitation for resource control and wanton destruction of lives and property are two different things.
He called on the government to design a programme that would cater for the needs of all the youths in the nation’s six geo-political zones.
Ikwang, who spoke against the background of the call for amnesty for Boko Haram lamented over the violence carried out by the group.

Speaking in Lagos at the weekend at the sendforth of 50 Niger Delta youths to Sri Lanka for vocational training, Ikwang declared: “Every zone should be dealt with by its merit. We should also look at what will be of strategic national, economic, and security interests of the country and then what are we looking out for in the future,” said Ikwang.

ok, then stop fallng so cheaply and making small boys shine you ;d ;d

IYA TRUSTEE MY BEST FRIEND!

That wont stop me from telling you the truth out of my love for yah

@lol. Iya trustee!!!!!!
We know ur type jare. Ash no dey gree say she be one na. LMAO!

I quite agree with you.
But the issue on ground and the reality is that marriage and having and keeping a baby isnt just what one runs into without due considerations.
Our men are quick to deceive our desperate ladies into marriages that would fail(i say desperate cos a man can marry at whatever age he desires). Now in marriage also, its both parties duty to keep the ties intact , especially the woman who i s regarded as the 'kepper'. But these days its these ladies that run to the court first and most times pack out not considering their home. A few of the nollywood ladies here too have had kids for more than one man. ISNT THAT CRAZY? At least first fool no be fool but second fool na im be foolish. LADIES STILL RUNNING TO Two BABA when u know this dude is just in for a lick, and gives u one or 2 and moves on. I tire o! though dreams and aspirations matter. many have chosen a course to be single parents.

Anyway i have picked few points from your post and i believe same applies to you.

@thiefofheart.
I dont want to go personal with you, YOU BEING A SINGLE PARENT DOESNT JUSTIFY IT OR CRUCIFY SAME.
If i want to throw you a challenge i will want to start with your educational background(qualifications) because if its HOME TRAINING ?I AM SURE YOU DIDNT GET IT.

Get it clear, if your mum told you being a single parent is good, then go ahead with it! Follow the thread and count the YES and NOS then you'd come to a conclusion. I pray that someday you would say marrying a known armed robber isnt a crime

as for you[color=#990000]@ bad girl, i was done with you in the other thread, I GET UR CHALLENGE; IT TAKES YOUR BRAIN A FULL WEEK TO FULLY BOOTH ONCE SHUT DOWN. Because you would soon come saying he had a point. FOOLLLL![/color]

^^i am a pragmatist, you for a start, if you are female, married or not, please check and keep details of the tribe that pester you most and make the comparison, noting their various actions shud you tell them you are married^^
i sure bet you that the yorubas will be on the high even if you tell them you are married, they are simply not ashamed of keeping a wife and numrous gal friends for various parties/occasions. Even the proffessionals amongst them do same too though to every law exists exceptions

^^READ THE STORY DAYS BACK, LEARNT A HEALTH ISSUE COST HER HER WOMB^^
But shud that have been the end of the world?

@tpia you simply said it all!!

they are randy even the married one, THEY HAVE LITTLE REGARD FOR MARRIAGE MAYBE because THEY DO IT THE PREGNATE AND MARRY WAY OR THE GET PREGNANT AND BE MARRIED WAY!

TSEK= TSEKIRI

I have more yoruba friends male and female than ibo friends cos i grew up and associate with them, I SPEAK YORUBA FLUENTLY,

their life social life tire me o! them no dey repsect any thing on skirt, to them, GBO GBO DODO JIJE NI

But i have a few good and disciplined ones too

to your last post
that is one in a million issues

IT ISNT A SUBJECT OF DEBATE, WE ALL KNOW THE TRUTH

@tpia
tell NATIVE DR BASHY-ASEWO

@CONGOSHINE. I agree with you!
but, tribe also matters because of the variouses faces of culture

I MARRIED A HALF TSEK, HALF YORUBA(Father is a TSEK)

While my ibo tradition frowns totally at one being randy, i cannot say it has a total grip on everyone
The TSEK tradition spells doom for anyone in marriage doing trashes, it calls for auto ill luck
But brother , i have ben in lag for more than 32 years, i was born here but spent few years outside here schooling above MSc level, i have stayed in a couple of yoruba states/cities. And i say this; in as much as exceptions exists! the rate of randiness is higher in them compared to the ibos(talking of married individuals now)

off course i know a few good and disciplined yoruba men too and a few randy ibo men women

my wifes expereince? When she encounters an ibo man and she says 'sorry i am married, raising her fingers, the man leaves saying sorry your youthful age misled me, BUT on meeting yoruba men, they simply say'it matters not, it is sweeter while married, myself i am married' .THIS IS ON MANY REPORTED OCCASIONS AT SHOPPING MALLS, AND OTHER CENTRES OF RELAXATION.

Hope you can learn from this experience!
