PoliticsBoko Haram Taking The Shine Off My Achievements -jonathan by ishiamu(op): 3:27pm On Jan 22, 2015
President Goodluck Jonathan on Thursday regretted that members of the Boko Haram sect have been diverting people’s attention from his administration’s numerous achievements with their violent activities in parts of the country.

He however assured Nigerians that the Federal Government would soon end the insurgency.

Jonathan spoke when he paid a courtesy visit to the Emir of Bauchi, Alhaji Rilwan Adamu. The President was in the state in continuation of the Peoples Democratic Party’s presidential rallies.

He said his administration had worked hard to justify the massive support he got from the people during the 2011 general elections.

He promised that if re-elected, he would work with Bauchi leaders to develop the mineral resources in the state as part of measures to diversify the country’s economy away from crude oil.

The President said, “When we moved round in 2011, we got massive support from you and since then, we have been working hard to justify your support. Insha Allahu, we will also succeed this time.

“The unfortunate Boko Haram excesses are taking attention away from our numerous  achievements.

“Everybody wants security, everybody wants to be safe and to be able to move freely. I am therefore assuring you that we will bring the situation to a reasonable degree and will eventually end it very soon.

“We have worked very hard to improve agriculture and ended decades of fertilizer scam. We want Nigerian farmers to crop three times a year.

“We are thinking of different options to fully diversify our economy due to the fall in the global price of oil and Bauchi is one of the states we will tap into its solid mineral potentials.”

The emir commended government’s efforts aimed at ending insurgency and rescuing the over 200 abducted Chibok girls.

He also lauded the present administration’s commitment to free and fair elections.

Ahead of the general elections, the monarch urged Jonathan to bear in mind that only God gives power to people anytime He desires.

He said, “Only God gives power anytime He wishes. I urge you and other candidates for different offices to bear this in mind in your campaigns.

“Politicians should work towards making Nigeria a stronger regional and sub-regional force.

“I encourage and commend you on the efforts you are making on the issue of insecurity and we are hoping and praying that our Chibok girls will be out soon.

“We also appreciate your expressed commitment to free and fair elections and the signing of the Abuja peace accord as it will encourage our people to embrace peace instead of acrimony.”

Vice President Namadi Sambo; National Chairman of the PDP, Adamu Muazu; and the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Bala Mohammed, among others accompanied Jonathan to the palace.

s the Boko Haram insurgency has intensified over
the last few years, it has risen to the top of the
priority list of problems most Nigerians expect the
government to address. And in this election season,
the Boko Haram terrorism problem has dominated
conversations between the campaigns and among
Nigerians.

President Jonathan’s supporters acknowledge that the
insurgency has escalated under his watch despite his
declaration of a state of emergency in several Northeastern
states. But they argue that Boko Haram is being propped up
by several forces and that the group’s murderous campaign
is founded on multiple, intractable factors that are beyond a
military solution.
If President Jonathan’s supporters have been defensive and
even cynical in regard to Boko Haram, Muhammadu
Buhari’s supporters have been bullish. They have seized
on the issue to underscore the claim that their candidate
would be a much stronger president than the incumbent.
They have gone on the offensive and have declared with a
certitude bordering on political hubris that their man will
deal decisively with Boko Haram if he wins next month’s
presidential election. To substantiate this boast, they point
repeatedly to the way that Buhari, both as a divisional
military commander and as military head of state, dealt with
the Maitatsine uprising, which sporadically affected at least
four cities in the North between 1980 and 1985. The
argument, often advanced with gusto and simplistic
comparative framing, is that Buhari would deal with Boko
Haram the same way that he dealt with Maitatsine, implying
that the Maitatsine strategy would be recycled to combat
Boko Haram.
But is the comparison between Boko Haram and Maitatsine
valid? Will the strategy that worked against Maitatsine be
effective against Boko Haram? And is the world in which
Boko Haram exists and flourishes the same as the one in
which Maitatsine emerged and thrived?
Personally, I am eager to listen to reasonable arguments
about what Buhari would do specifically to combat Boko
Haram if he wins next month's election, not rhetorical
claims and decontextualized nostalgia. Like most
Nigerians, I would like to know what he would do differently
than what is already being implemented in the counter-
insurgency effort of our armed forces. I would like to know
what strategies, outside of what is already in practice, a
president Buhari would deploy to deal with Boko Haram.
So far, we are getting few substantive and specific answers
to these questions. Instead, we are getting naïve
declarations about Buhari’s almost magical ability to end
Boko Haram. What I find disingenuous and ahistorical is
the argument that because he successfully combatted the
Maitatsine religious uprising, Buhari would do the same to
Boko Haram, and that the methods he used to combat
Maitatsine would be effective against Boko Haram — that
the lessons learned would transfer seamlessly and that the
strategy from the 1980s can simply be dusted up and
implemented in 2015.
Boko Haram is not Maitastine and the 1980s are not the
second decade of the twenty first century. These are two
distinct eras, two different worlds.
For those of us who have spent considerable amount of
time living in the Northern theaters of both the Maitatsine
and Boko Haram insurgencies and, in addition, are deeply
acquainted with the vast formal and informal literature on
Maitatsine, the comparison between the two insurgencies is
very problematic to say the least. Maitatsine was a
localized religious movement with no inspirational and
ideological ties, as far as we know, to external/foreign
groups. Boko Haram, on the other hand, derives inspiration
and ideological nourishment from global jihadist groups
like Al-Qaida and ISIS and models itself after the Afghan
Taliban and ISIS.
Maitatsine was a largely urban movement and their
quarters/neighborhoods (such as Yan Awaki in Kano,
Bulunkutu in Maiduguri, etc) could easily be identified and
attacked. Conversely, Boko Haram is now largely a rural
insurgency, although it has a presence in both rural and
urban areas. This makes the task of identifying and
crushing its fighters and infrastructures more complicated.
Maitatsine’s followers fought with bows and arrows and
perhaps a few locally made guns. These were no match for
the firearms of the Nigerian security services. Boko Haram
on the other hand boasts of an arsenal of weapons that is
as deadly if not more deadly and modern than that of the
Nigerian armed forces.
Maitatsine was numerically much smaller than Boko
Haram. Maitatsine's presence was confined to four urban
areas, Kano, Maiduguri, Yola, and Gombe. Boko Haram is
everywhere in the entire Northeast and Northwest zones of
the country and has staged attacks all over those areas and
even in Abuja and Lagos. Maitatsine had no capacity for
bomb making; Boko Haram does. Maitatsine members and
their families largely ran from soldiers sent to combat them
because of the asymmetry of weaponry; Boko Haram
brazenly takes on the army, confident in their ability to
match and even surpass the weapons of Nigerian troops.
Maitatsine lasted for about five years and was sporadic in
its manifestation, with months and sometimes years
separating the uprisings and military engagements. This is
the sixth year of Boko Haram's terrorist campaign, and it is
showing no signs of abating. This, moreover, has been a
consistently ferocious insurgency, with almost daily
attacks in the Northeast, the most spectacularly recent and
murderous one being the sack of Baga.
Maitatsine was not a radical territorial movement intent on
capturing, holding, and governing territory as part of an
imagined theocratic state or caliphate; Boko Haram is. The
sheer scale and intensity of Boko Haram’s brutality make
Maitatsine a primitive, mildly destructive uprising. Although
the leader of Maitatsine, Mohamed Marwa was from
Cameroon, the Maitatsine uprisings were confined to
Nigeria, unlike Boko Haram, which now threatens
Cameroon and Niger and has emerged as a regional
insurgency.
There are other important distinctions between Maitatsine
and Boko Haram.
Most Nigerians agree that President Jonathan bungled the
initial response to Boko Haram and allowed the menace to
get out of control. In fairness to him, when he did realize the
evil the country was dealing with and unleashed the full
wrath of the army on Boko Haram, the elders of Borno State
and other prominent Northern leaders, including General
Muhammadu Buhari, accused the president of waging war
on the North, with the Borno elders even going so far as to
demand the withdrawal of the anti-terrorism military joint
task force (JTF) from Borno State. In addition, members of
the JTF came under increased domestic and international
criticism for human rights abuses, with many local
observers helping to bolster and substantiate the
international human rights outcry.
Even so, President Jonathan was all too willing to give in to
these pressures and to scale back the military offensive
against Boko Haram at a crucial moment in which the
terrorists were in retreat and the army was on the offensive.
This attitude of impulsive surrender stems from the
president’s politicized understanding of Boko Haram as a
Northern problem and as a fight among his enemies. It is an
attitude whose best known marker was the constant refrain
of the president’s aides and spokespeople that Boko Haram
had been confined to or contained in the Northeast, as
though the Northeast and its humanity were not part of
Nigeria, as though containment and confinement signified a
victory. A courageous leader does whatever is necessary to
solve a problem that threatens the sovereignty of the state
and damns domestic and international nitpickers.
Afterwards, once the problem is solved, he can respond to
and seek to address the criticisms.
Nigerians are already familiar with President Jonathan’s
anti-insurgency strategy or lack of one. The president and
his national security team seem to have reached the limit of
their problem solving creativity on this issue. And yet the
insurgency surges and poses new dangers to the country.
This is why Nigerians are hungry for a new approach. This
is why Nigerians must demand a new, detailed approach
from Buhari and his campaign.

Sex is good. Sex is beautiful. Sex, when tasted prematurely, is like a jar of honey we always want to have upon its first taste. We hardly get fed up with it. As youth, we are hardly tired of demanding for more, from different sources, for fun, for comparison, for money, for fame, for respect, for what entices our eyes, and for companionship. We may get monumental break, but the urge for sex is ever exciting. It’s consuming. Youths mostly, in most cases, engage in sexual sprees. No self-control! No break!! No boundary!!!

Women are very dangerous. I respect them. They deserve it more on bed because they are intimidating. Like Fani-Kayode, I get mad on bed, madder when they scream and moan out loud, and maddest when they ask for more. Like prayer, they almost pull down the roof, the sky, in sexual ecstasy. There's no big lady on bed. They want it desperate, but pretend. Anyway, sex is bitter-sweet. The best food ladies can appreciate is a better sex, fine one and satisfying techniques deployed by skilled men on bed.

All these sexual acts last between 20 and 45 minutes, and the urge are gone. The sweetness fades. You sweat even in an air-conditioned room. You pack up mess, regretting why you had engaged in sexual reverie in the first place. Some instant psychological frustrations set in. You develop a pang of guilty knowing full well that you're only stealing what rightfully belongs to you. Your body supposed to be prided for your future wife or husband, but hastiness to eat it raw, to belong, to identify, to join the bandwagon has cost you the golden egg while chasing shadow. The damage is irreparable and irreplaceable.

4 months past, I have bade dating, sex, relationship, and even kissing, goodbye. I took such hard decision when it dawned on me that dating was ruining my life unnecessarily. First, my dating experience was horrible and awful. The inherent frustration of spiritual backwardness, the lack of savings (as I eventually became an ATM Machines), and the moral lost of self esteem, dignity and self pride made me so devastating that I always felt I was very far from my creator, and the urge to mend fence with Him was burning like furnace in my soul. I know I had lost track.

Second, psychological frustrations set in. No privacy. Jealous girlfriend. I was not allowed to talk to other ladies. I must account for all calls I received and made, especially to females. I was seriously caged.

Third, I almost became financially bankrupt. I became her ATM machine. Excess demands, always. I cater for everything she needed. Some ladies are just too heartless! Although, I didn't complain anyway. It's unarguarable that many a lady will turn their boyfriends to bank; offset all their burdens on them as if men are plucking money. They must be sucked dry. Ladies don't care how you get the money. Very darkening and saddening. I think relationship should be mutual understanding, benefits and symbiotic.

Fourth, almost all the ladies I have seen are players. They date as many men as come their way. All they need is money. They open their two legs at will. No shame. No boundary. Anything can go inside. They don't give a damn when "ego" is involved. After seeing this for years, I became demoralized. Women! Who will be my future wife? Can we find a single lady in Nigeria, especially my Igbo sister in the East, who has not been corrupted? Who has not gone beyond redemption? Women are overpopulated; they are everywhere, but no “wife material” any longer.

To cut the story short, after four months without dating I feel this kind of freedom in the depth of my soul. I feel the touch of sweetness of soul. I feel the sweetness of God. Something like chain, I observed, left me. No more nagging, no more unnecessary explanations, no more bitterness. No more containing excesses of those ladies outside there. I am just free. Freedom from the shackles of sin, bondage, lies, and headache. I now have more savings, more respect and focus. I'm keeping myself for my future wife; the bone of my bone, flesh of my flesh and blood of my blood. I don't want to steal from what is rightfully mine again. I want to enjoy it with only that beautiful person. To be continued…
