Ziggyblaze: WHERE ARE THE NORTHERN LEADERS?
By Mr Cham
First, let me start with this sombre news that the
Nigerian Air Force jets bombed the army barracks in
Bama, Borno state, north-east Nigeria, on Monday,
September 1, 2014. News reports have it that the
fighter jets bombed the army barracks when the army
was fighting "Boko Haram" fighters who came
attacking the town, and that the army was seriously
repelling and destroying the "terrorists" when the Air
Force jets came on the scene and bombed the
barracks, and in the process all the armoury in the
barracks was destroyed in addition to many
casualties, which made all the soldiers completely
defenceless, and then "Boko Haram" took control of
the town while the soldiers fled the town alongside
multitudes of civilians.
For those who don't know, Bama is the second
biggest city in Borno state after Maiduguri the state
capital, and if "Boko Haram" has taken over Bama you
can be sure that their next target will be the state
capital.
Remember that a few months ago President Jonathan
has withdrawn the soldiers guarding the governor of
Borno state, which means, if the plan to takeover the
entire state through "Boko Haram" proceeds, he will
be very vulnerable, for he could be captured like
chicken for barbecue.
Please, do remember that all this bloody fraud is
happening under a so called State of Emergency with
President Jonathan's 20, 000 soldiers in charge.
I am tempted at this point to laugh but I will not,
because lives and properties are being deliberately
wasted and destroyed everyday over nothing.
Having said that, let me quickly assert that there is
nowhere in the world whereby military fighter jets of
the same country will bomb military barracks in a city
where the same military is engaged in a fierce battle
with terrorists and then the terrorists will takeover the
city. It only means the military fighter jets were
commanded to aid the terrorists at the expense of the
lives of the soldiers who were gallantly fighting the
terrorists.
Even a trainee fighter pilot cannot make the mistake of
bombing any military barracks, because all military
barracks are uniquely visible, and every fighter pilot
has a clear map of the area they are dispatched to
fight, and moreover, all fighter jets are in
communication link with ground troops and a central
command centre. Therefore don't ever believe the spin
they may make that "it was a mistake" or "friendly
fire".
Remember also that when "Boko Haram" attacked the
Giwa army barracks in Maiduguri sometime this year,
their video of the attack also showed a military fighter
jet giving them cover in the sky.
Note that after each town has been captured by "Boko
Haram" the Defence Headquarters will issue the same
statement that the military will recapture the towns
back from the "terrorists" but nothing of the sort will
be seen until another town is captured by the
"terrorists" again.
So, what further evidence does anyone need that
"Boko Haram" is a government agenda against a
particular people? If this is not False Flag operation
then the world should gather all her grammarians and
etymologists to construct a new meaning for False
Flag operation.
Now back to our opening question:
WHERE ARE THE NORTHERN LEADERS?
For now, Nigeria is one country but everybody knows
his or her father's house. But when your father's
house is under attack you cannot fold your arms with
your mouth sealed. There is no room for diplomacy
when your enemy has undiplomatically brought war
right into your home. Therefore the idea of keeping
sealed lips while you are being destroyed is the height
of self destruction and self injustice.
I expect that by now a powerful coalition of northern
leaders should hold a World Press Conference and
declare that they are being destroyed systematically
through a well orchestrated State Sponsored
Terrorism, and should raise a powerful delegation to
visit world leaders and raise the same issue, and then
finally take the matter to the International Criminal
court of Justice and secure some arrest warrants.
The way things are going, northerners may wake up
one day seeing all the military barracks in the north up
in smoke, and then, of course, THE FINAL SOLUTION
will take place.
Adolf Hitler's own agenda was also titled THE FINAL
SOLUTION.
When Governor Nyako factually presented what is
happening today, only a few northern leaders stood by
him while some joined "the terrorists" in condemning
Nyako by accusing him of "overheating the polity", and
even gleefully collaborated in the plot to remove him
from office, and you are left wondering whether a
programme set out to kill hundreds of people daily and
to wipe off certain towns and villages has not
"overheated the polity" and the spoken truth should be
the salve that will cool down the heat!
The Northern Governors Forum was neither here nor
here. Till today they have not confronted President
Jonathan to stop the carnage going on in their region,
and I am left wondering if the north is wiped off what
will they govern? There is no time for diplomacy in
certain things. Enemies don't know diplomacy, for if
they knew diplomacy they wouldn't conscript all
institutions of state to fight you.
The other time General Buhari questioned certain
double standards in regards to dealings with "Boko
Haram" the conspirators, including the shamelessly
loquacious Ayo Oritsejafor who has become quiet
these days, and all their supporters, pounced on him
and accused him of what they were doing. All that
reaction was to make sure they blackmail northerners
from speaking against this conspiracy.
Have you noticed how they label everyone that speaks
against this conspiracy as a sympathiser or sponsor
of "Boko Haram"? It is called psychological warfare
aimed at blackmailing you to keep quiet while they
continue to finish you off.
There is no time for diplomacy in certain things. By
the time the world was busy with diplomacy over Adolf
Hitler he was almost halfway conquering Europe.
With the exception of people like Professor Ango
Abdullahi, Solomon Dalung, Anthony Sani, Dr. Junaid
Mohammed, Paul Unongo, Joseph Waku, Governor
Nyako, Governor Kwankwaso, Governor Wamakko,
Honourable Adamu Aliyu, Engineer Buba Galadima,
Hakeem Baba Ahmed, Nasir el-Rufai, Adamu Adamu,
Mohammed Haruna and a few others who have been
vocal on what is going on, the others seem to have
become cowed into silence or have been paid off.
But then, more still needs to be done by the north to
save herself from enemies with state power. Northern
leaders, including the traditional rulers, need to come
out and call a spade a spade, for enemies don't know
diplomacy.
Let nobody kid themselves that because certain names
like General Ihejirika and Modu Shariff have been
mentioned as sponsors of the carnage that the agenda
will stop. No way, they will not stop it. The plotters
are determined without qualms as can be seen by the
latest Bama onslaught and capture.
Remember that General Ihejirika was carefully chosen
by this president to be Chief of Army Staff, and even
when the General was due for retirement around 2012
he extended the man's service up to January 2014
after his successor was also carefully chosen and
groomed. The fact that about one hundred senior army
officers had to be retired for General Minimah to
succeed General Ihejirika as Chief of Army Staff should
tell you that they are committed to this agenda.
WHERE ARE THE NORTHERN LEADERS?
Will they step up to the plate? Time is running out!
When diplomacy works not brinkmanship is recoursed
to. Ask Russia and Israel for lessons on brinkmanship.
Australian Negotiator Insists Modu Sheriff, Ihejirika Sponsor Boko Haram, Exonerates Buhari, El-Rufai
In SaharaReporters Interview, Australian Negotiator Insists Modu Sherriff, Ihejirika Sponsor Boko Haram, Exonerates Buhari, El-Rufai.

Stephen Davis, an Australian hostage negotiator who spent some time in Nigeria trying to secure the release of more than 200 Nigerian schoolgirls abducted by Boko Haram militants in Chibok, Borno State, told SaharaReporters that he stands by his widely reported allegations that former Governor Modu Sherriff of Borno State and a former Chief of Army staff, General Azubuike Ihejirika (ret.), were among the top sponsors of the Islamist insurgents who have massacred thousands of Nigerians and foreigners and made the northeast part of Nigeria a highly militarized zone.

In an extensive telephone interview with SaharaReporters yesterday, Dr. Davis also accused an unnamed senior official of the Central Bank of Nigeria as well as a man based in Cairo, Egypt whom he claimed operates as Boko Haram’s bagman. He said both men, in addition to Mr. Sheriff and former General Ihejirika, were major players in the funding and continued existence of the deadly Islamist sect.

Dr. Davis told SaharaReporters that he did not want to name the CBN official as this may prejudice investigation by Nigeria’s security services. Both accused men have reacted furiously to Mr. Davis’ allegation, with the former Borno governor threatening to travel to Australia to sue his accuser while Mr. Ihejirika accused former Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nasir El Rufai, of being a “commander” of Boko Haram. Three days ago, Mr. El Rufai had posted transcripts and video of Mr. Davis’ accusations of the former governor and ex-Army chief on social media.

Asked whether Mr. El Rufai and former military ruler, Muhammadu Buhari, had a hand in funding or sponsoring Boko Haram, Dr. Davis said their names have not been mentioned to him by any Boko Haram connections.

Also, asked to explain why Mr. Ihejirika, a non-Muslim who hails from the predominantly Christian southeastern part of Nigeria, became a Boko Haram “sponsor,” Mr. Davis said, “Boko Haram commanders and some connected with them told me on several occasions Ihejirika was one of their sponsors.”

He also disclosed that Mr. Sheriff always had the best military protection in Nigeria’s violence-plagued northeast, a protection he claimed the ex-governor enjoyed after he left office.

Dr. Davis reiterated that his allegations were informed by discussions he had with several Boko Haram field commanders over a long period of time. Asked if President Goodluck Jonathan was aware of the insurgents’ sponsors and their specific roles, Dr. Davis said he was unsure of the extent of information currently before President Jonathan. He added that Mr. Jonathan had been weakened by lack of military loyalty and a history of security negligence. He gave the example of repeated attempts to bring the growth of Al Qa’eda associated cells to the attention of NSA’s since 2006 only to have them dismiss such reports as baseless. “By the time Goodluck Jonathan became president Boko Haram had become a potent weapon with a command structure embedded in 16 northern states fanned by support from corrupt politicians.”

He further gave the example of Nigeria’s Minister of Defense, Aliyu Gusau, whom he accused of basically leaving Mr. Jonathan to carry his can without taking any responsibility for his work.

The Australian negotiator also revealed that his years working with Nigerian presidents on matters of terrorism had shown that, even when some prominent individuals are known to be involved in criminality, the presidents are simply too afraid to take them on. He cited the example of the Niger Delta region. He told SaharaReporters that he and former President Olusegun Obasanjo found out that Abiye Sekibo, who was then Mr. Obasanjo’s Transport Minister, had contracted the assassins who killed a prominent politician, Harry Marshall. He said he tried to persuade Mr. Obasanjo to prosecute Mr. Sekibo, but the then president declined, stating that such a trial could bring down his government.

Dr. Davis touched on several aspects of Boko Haram activities, showing that he was quite knowledgeable about the sect’s actions. He told SaharaReporters that Boko Haram runs about six major camps in the northeast and neighboring countries, adding that 700 fighters inhabited each camp. In addition there are a range of smaller camps within Borno State, which are often temporary and to which kidnapped girls are taken to be used by the insurgents.

The Australian revealed that earlier this year Boko Haram was a loose coalition of three Islamist militant groups that worked with one another, claiming that, since four months ago, the sects had merged into one single entity, become more cohesive, strategically effective and powerful. “They are now linking with other terrorist group in the region and will soon be very difficult to dismantle. If these political sponsors think they can turn these groups off after the 2015 elections they are going to be surprised to find it is out of their control.”

On why he had chosen to speak out publicly at this time, Dr. Davis stated that, from experience, any terrorist group that has lasted more than eight years after its formation would likely exist for another 20 or more years before it can be dismantled. It thus becomes embedded for a generation and the likelihood of dismantling it was very low. “If we don’t do our utmost now to dismantle Boko Haram then we may not be able to do so for another generation. That is a very gloomy scenario for Nigeria.”

He touched on former National Security Adviser, Owoye Andrew Azazi, whom he described as utterly corrupt. He said Mr. Azazi, who was a retired Army general, was planning to buy into the Hilton hotel chain in London to the tune of $100 million before he died in a helicopter crash on December 15, 2012.

Dr. Davis painted a portrait of Nigeria’s various intelligence units as operating in silos that refuse to share information that could tame terrorist groups. To illustrate his point, the Australian cited the example of the State Security Services. According to him, months after the SSS won the extradition from the Sudan of Aminu Ogwuche, a suspected terror mastermind who reportedly planned the deadly bombing of an Abuja bus station, the intelligence agency had yet to interrogate Mr. Ogwuche about his links with the three young men he reportedly contracted to carry out the bombing.

Dr. Davis said the young men were three in number and that they lived in the home of a CBN official who also carried out banking transactions for Boko Haram through the CBN. He said two other young collaborators in the Nyanya Motor Park bombing remain on the run.

The Australian hostage negotiator vowed to make more revelations about Boko Haram’s sponsors, adding that he believed the sect could only be dismantled if their sponsors were exposed and prosecuted. In particular, he said he could not see why the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) had not already moved on Sheriff for his extensive looting of public funds when he was the Borno State governor, and for leaving the roads in Borno State in a terrible shape that has enabled Boko Haram to ambush Nigeria troops and massacre them mercilessly. He also added that the former governor should face the ultimate trial for financing the recruitment of young men to the Islamist sect.

Dr. Davis dismissed Mr. Sheriff’s threat to travel to Australia to sue him for his statements as grandstanding and seeking to divert attention from the real issue of Mr. Sheriff’s involvement with Boko Haram. He added that he would be pleased to meet the former governor at the airport whenever he developed the courage to come to Australia.
CultureRe: Do African Americans Have A Culture? by maskamdo(m): 6:48am On Sep 09, 2014
Nebeuwa: I was recently arguing with a Nigerian friend of mine, concerning this topic. She believes that African Americans do not have a culture and that it is only a subset of the wider American culture.

At first, I was offended when she made that statement, because I saw that as an attack on half of my identity through my maternal side. I stated by looking at our music, our cuisine and our form of speech, that is an expression of culture.

So do you all think African Americans have a culture or not?
. Ofcourse they do! Rap culture!!!
