We know terrorism is the worst thing that can ever happen to a country but Nigeria's terrorism record is far amassing those of other nations. How many terrorist attacks were successful in the US or European nations or even African nations. Please do not use Afghanistan, Iraq or Libya as examples as those nations were destabilized by invasion/war. Why I blame the government on this is because corruption prevented the spread of resources and gains of democracy thereby making some people becoming renegade in the name of religion. Imagine if proper education and employment was invested in Northern Nigeria, do you think the present Boko Haram cohorts wouldn't think twice before signing their lives off for death? It's simply the consequence of government ignorance on youth development and security.

About GEJ, for goodness sakes he said wanted to be president despite knowing his incompetence in the issue. Being president means you have the best understanding of your country and how to curb any destructive trend incase it shows. But our president is here complaining of not even knowing how to handle Boko Haram. He even says it is something we have to deal with, for goodness sakes how could you support such a person? Security that should be one of his priorities is now at a critical level. So please lets not encourage mediocrity[color=#990000][/color]

"Imagine if proper education and employment was invested in Northern Nigeria".

This your comment mean say either u be northerner or u dey detached from wetin they happen for 9ja. NA JONATHAN SAY MAKE DEM NOR GO SCHOOL??!! Guy, if u nor get anything to yan, go watch papa ajasco for silverbird. I served in kano, and i saw countless school materials the federal govt through petroleum trust fund invested in schools. If you see books and laboratory apparatus when dey gatther dust for schools there? How dem wan even make use of them sef, wen dem nor fit even speak pidgin english, let alone english? Moreover, 'western education na sin as far as dem dey concerned!' GUY,ISLAM AND ILLITRACY NA LETHAL COMBINATION. No be Jonathan go solve the problem for north!

[table] know Goodluck has done things which I am not in support of, but all these nairalanders wey dey shout about Goodluck and Boko Haram should shut their mouths up abeg   wetin exactly u wan make e do? carry gun go streets go fight them? If the president has declared that he knows the sponsors (I hope that is even true), has any one settled down to think about the main reasons why he hasn't done anything? Una just dey here dey play blame games. Dem tell una say the fight against terrorism na biscuit?  make people chill abeg. As far as I am concerned, NOTHING can be done for now because these Haramites are far more organized than we can think,and may most probably have the support of top guns in GEJ's government. One wrong step by GEJ and everything will be blown up. For now let's try as much as we can to stay safe.I no see wetin anybody fit do against Boko Haram here o. If you get any suggestions   , you can educate me on that.[/table]


@ekwah

My guy nor mind them jor!! Nigerians too they nack mouth, non of una go fit do better. With una abundant natural resourses una never fit combat basic issues like electricity and infrastructures na fatal ideology like 'islamic fundamentalism' when the westen worlds dey sweat to combat una wan trample? How u wan take exterminate man wen ready die with hope of grooving chicks with big big boobs for heaven?! If the imams for north nor fit call their almageries  to order. I advice christians to leave north for them. Christian nor fit win this war, cos our belief does not support violence!

All these arsenal fans,which ideology and tradition are u talking about? I bet you started following arsenal during the time of fabregas.FYI, arsenal use to buy very experienced players. This so called 'young gunz' philosophy started recently .There was a time arsenal had players like Tony Adams,lee dixon, pires, marc overmas and 'dennis the menance'.Now, these were players in their mid and late twenties. I can also remember they also bought an experienced croatian davour suker after a good world cup outing. That was when arsenal was glorious. Can u compare those days to the present kindergarten present?Since arsenal changed tradition its been horrible.

Chlesea on the the other hand, have maintained the same tradition since i started following them. we have always been a team that recruited experienced international players. I remember when we had the likes of jimmy floyd 'thunder bolt' hasselbank(holland), babayaro(9ja), Denise wise(England), descham (france) and zola (italy).
We might be struggling now,but i promise we will get out of this phase better and stronger.Arsenal on the other hand should concentrate on winning a silver ware for the first time in 5 seasons of 'Young blood tradition'.Oh! sorry,i forgot.U always win the emirate cup every season!!!

People should stop making excuses for siasias poor performance at heart land.If he had done well they would have tagged him 'the messiah'. The likes of harry reddknap turned things around in a very short time and gained the tag "harry houddini". I bet most of you were not following football when Nigeria was sweating to qualify for the world cup. It was so tough we actually felt cursed by some evil wizard.

For over 30 years we struggled but couldnt qualify.Nigeria kept qualifying for the Olympics becos there was no serious competition there.My brothers, our greatest achievement was qualifying for the World cup and reaching the second round,not some age grade competition sucess achieved with old men.Keshi qualified little Togo whose population is less than benin city's population. Togo might never qualify in the nearest future so give keshi some respect!I only want sia1 to get the job so we can see how he will perform.But if we want use experince and achievement as a yard stick,am sorry keshi is more qualified.Cum sef wetin una dey yan? na only siasia don perform for under 20 level pass?Tunde Disu came second in 1989, that makes him qualified for the Job abi?!
