Lol! Nobody is deceived about the fact that the core-North sponsored it. If you like bring in a ton of Jomo Gbomo quotes; everyone knows that even after he was jailed by the SSS, miraculously Jomo Gbomo kept right on sending emails. No one is fooled by aboki MEND.

You guys need your own country to practise sharia, the rest of us couldn't give a damn.

Boko Haram Disowns Fg Panel And Threatens More Attacks If :

Their demands, according to the spokesman, include severe punishment for those who extra-judicially killed their leader, Ustaz Mohammed Yusuf and other members of the sect in the July 2009 uprising, reconstruction of their places of worship, which were destroyed by security agencies in Maiduguri and other states of the federation, immediate release of all their members, who were detained, while appropriate compensation must be paid to them for all their properties destroyed by security agencies in the country..

Let the critics be critics. Let you, the president, be president. That’s all that we want. You must not use us, the critics, as an excuse for your failure. And we, the critics, must not use your tears as an excuse to quit our job.

odomanis:
Whatever GEJ says,people must criticise. When OBJ unlished terror on the people of ODI,he was criticised. Now GEJ is using a different approach,people are still criticising him. Anyway,it is expected. That is what comes with leadership. But people should remember that that speech was made in a place of christian worship(a church). As a Christian,you dont go to a church and begin to spill fire and brimstone. Christian faith is all about humility,peace,tolerance,forgiveness and total reliance on God. Those are what our President exhibited in that speech. Do not forget that he is a christian. I am sure all the people who are calling him names now would equally have called JESUS CHRIST a weak and fearful leader when he told Peter his follower to drop his sword and watch him arrested by those who eventually killed. He even replaced the ear which Peter cut off.  Let us not forget that in that speech he said it is God who made him President,that he can change this country and that by the grace of God he will change this country for good. He equally referred to enemies of this country who foolishly are pepertrating the evil we are facing now as Goliaths. He reminded us that for every Goliath,there is an exposed forehead upon which he can be struck dead and defeated. What else do u want him to say before you know that he refferred himself to be David. Please the election is over,let us all support our only President of our only country. He is a christian and only expressed his Christian virtues. Thank you.

And why shouldnt I compare both? Cos One is a Mallam and the other an Owelle? And how can you tell who's wiser? how many protests did we see in the streets of Owerri when Rochas named his equally bloated cabinet to justify your assertion that "What a mallam will do and we will ignore, Rochas dare not try it unless he will feel the heat"?
And just how well educated is Rochas compared to Mallam Yuguda? May I also remind you that Yuguda was tipped to replace Soludo as CBN Governor, Here are their Wikipedia profiles and I'll leave you to judge who's more educated.




Not all mallams stopped in Normadic school.

Like you can do better. Have you ever being a head of at least 50-member loosely affiliated adult group? How did you managed?

PointB:
Neither are they minding your simplistic approach. You paint the guy who seek out civilians and killed them in the name of religion and the one who occasionally get civilian caught in crossfire in the same brush. And then you wonder why reasonable people should take you serious.

Anyway, the bulk of the MEND guys are all abroad learning useful skills, and getting rehabilitated because they are considered [b]Militants (criminals in not even the right word, and I actually called them that in a haste.) [/b]Boko Haram are not, and will never be considered militants; they are rag-tag army of criminal terrorists, whose stock in trade is to target hapless, innocents, and vulnerable civilians, and killing them in cold bloods, basically in the name of religions (for lack of any other agenda). They will remain accursed and have no peace in their bloody miserable live; and will die from JTF gunshot wounds. They will unsung in the death, denied proper burials, and the bones will be picked by vultures, and scavengers! 

Now the difference is very clear. Boko Harams are a terrorists [/b]band; MEND are [b]militants

PointB:
@topic

The cautious movement of a cat, should not be misconstrued as a sign of cowardice - Nigerian Proverb

PointB:
I disagree strongly! MEND is a criminal organisation with ideology; Boko Haram is faceless, terrorist organisation with no ideology.
MEND takes great care to avoid civilian casualty (independence day bombing), while Boko Haram deliberately target clusters of human population for maximum civilian casualty. MEND is reasonable, Boko Haram is Madness!

So sir, I still maintain they are not same, they are markedly different in agenda and approach!

PointB:
^^^
Idiotic statement! Does two wrongs then make a right?  

OAM4J:
[size=13pt]Ijaw Militants [Water Lions] Warn Boko Haram “Enough Is Enough” Or “Face Us"[/size]
That Borno and the entire North are guilty of harbouring and protecting Boko Haram. If they don’t want the terrorist organization they should push them out of their midst and give them up to the military after all they live amongst them and probably pray in the same mosque. So they can’t claim that they don’t know where the Boko Haram are.

Ovularia:
[size=13pt]Be assertive, Sagay, CD, CPC tell Jonathan[/size]

“What he conveyed was weakness and aimlessness. [/b]The late Obafemi Awolowo was not a dictator or an oppressor. He was an organised man who raised his region through careful planning to the leading position.”


[b]“What we saw in the President’s statement was the negative. He needs to change his position which indicated weakness and planlessness.”

Kolababa:
Our president said he cannot rush into taking action on some national issues but he could rush into appointing the acting President of Court of Appeal against the public outcry.
He said some politicians are behind the socioeconomic and insecurity problems but he did not want to mention their names. That means GEJ knows the sponsors of Boko Haram but they are untouchable. "Playing politics with national security".
This speech is no presidential at all.
Those on nairand celebrating mediocrisy and failure of GEJ government based on ethnic and religion sentiments, we are all in Nigeria.
"if heaven will fall, it will fall on everybody".

pinkrex:
You have also satisfied your self by ignoring the obvious.

If you can list out the demands of Boko-harams then we can start talking.

For God sake protest is the best way the masses can disagree with a certain Governmental policy, MEND was an organisation, they were fighting for development of their land and proper utilisation of the money being made from their regionon their indigenes. [b]They kidnapped foreigners and demanded for ransom which is contrary to Boko-haram's meaningless bombings and their unrealistic demands. [/b]I'm not saying those two groups are no threat to citizens of this country but for every war fought, they should be a good ground to back it up
