Madam Ngozi actually put in the good word for Islamic Banking, she supports it.

It is high time we Nigerians begin to reign curses on the idiots since we cant go and kill all the boko haramists and the soldiers are slow in carrying out their duties.

nwannem maramma, your post was filled with hatred and I'm not sure this hatred is not having an adverse effect on your objectivity. But pardon me, do you actually believe the bolded above can have any impact? Fight violence with curses?

What is happening in PA?

World Owerri People's Congress is having its annual convention there. Some of us are special guests or will gatecrash the event in order to show some love to our Ndigbo brothers.

@ ndu chuks,

Very classical of u to shift goal posts.

The issue is the incompetence of JTF in dealing with the problem. I don't have time to train any intellectual midget on simple comprehension. Flee flea!!

Jakumo is a well-known Buhari hater, don't be surprised by his irrational comments.

@ Ndu chuks,

I disagree wt u for dt picture u posted and your ethnic bigotry laced run down on d task force commander. U have not proven dt he doesn't understand d terrain and language, neither have u proved his tactical incompetence. your only excuse is because his name is of non-northeaster extraction. When Gen Serki Yanke led JTF in Niger delta, y didn't u say same abt him? When Gen GT Zidon led Operation Harmony in Bakkassi, y not same against him? D first boko haram insurrection Ws led by a non-northeastern colonel ( actually frm SE), did he fail? Gen CC Iweze quashed d maitatsine insurrection of 1985 in Bauchi state, wht do u say abt dt? How has Gen Saleh succeeded STF in plateau state despite speaking d prevailing language?

BTW, d pix u posted is frm Abuja blast.

Do you agree or disagree with the main point of my post that the  JTF sent to the region is unprepared to fight the kind of battle they are confronted with? Lets not turn this into another tribal war.  Even if the picture posted is from the Abuja blast, does that change the fact that the same group is responsible for it? olodo

These people have essentially declared war against Nigeria. The JTF sent to the region is unprepared to fight the kind of battle they are confronted with, to make matters worse, the Commander of the Joint Task Force, Maj Gen Jack Nwaogbo does not even understand the language spoken by the aggressors.

They've taken the war to Abuja, the capital of Nigeria, it will spread to the West, East, and South soon enough. Look at this BBC photograph of today's bomb blast and tell me it was caused by a firecracker.  Where is the offensive action by JTF? GEJ needs to act fast, else the millitary may have no choice but to take over this government.

@naijaking1, I suppose the in-thing these days is to have paranoia about the Fulani. You all used to blame the Northerners for everything, now you've narrowed it down to Fulanis. I'd recommend that you stop prescribing aspiring to your people and switch to Norepinephrine - err self prescription is also well-advised.

[quote author=ekt_bear link=topic=707005.msg8658933#msg8658933 date=1309914098]Heh. Hilarious to me that a Fulani like you will call anyone else a bushman or savage. At any rate, in my estimation, one of their lives is more precious than 100 of yours.

Tread softly.[/quote]I'm disappointed in you o, for calling me names and even naming a tribe in the process, when you have no idea what my ethnicity is. For your information, I have seen alleged thieves lynched to death by yes, bushmen and savages, from Kaduna to Lagos and Enugu. This barbaric act has nothing to do with ethnicity or tribe.

Every life in Nigeria is precious, stop hating!! I appreciate you attempted vigorous defense of your people though.

Are you indirectly saying that the police should not protect Nigerian citizens from lynching by bushmen or savages?

@Onlytruth, you are probably an empty barrel. If you be proper Imo ndigbo, we shall see you in Pennsylvania later this month, that is if you even know what I'm talking about. olodo

I don't think these government officials have learnt anything from their American and British counterparts yet. Did the American friends not inform the SSS of the effective methods used in Guantanamo Bay?

OVER 100 members of the Boko Haram sect arrested by the State Security Service (SSS) will not face prosecution, but will be won over by the government, to make them denounce the group and give details of the workings of the sect to government.

Assistant Director, Public Affairs of the service, Marilyn Ogar, who made the disclosure at a press briefing at the service headquarters, on Monday, disclosed that the men, made up of key cell commanders, as well as rank and file members of the group, were apprehended in six northern states of Bauchi, Kaduna, Kano, Yobe, Borno and Adamawa.

Ogar, at the briefing, also disclosed that the service, through information provided to it by patriotic Nigerians, had succeeded in demobilising about 12 improvised explosive devices (IEDs), popularly called home made bombs, in Kaduna State between May 23 and June 27.

Explaining why those arrested would not face prosecution, she said the decision was in line with the “carrot and stick” policy adopted by President Goodluck Jonathan in dealing with the Islamic group.

Detailing the success recorded by the service, Ogar said “on May 23, security operatives discovered and successfully demobilised eight IEDs concealed in small and medium size tins beneath a staircase in Kafanchan, Jema’a Local Government Area of Kaduna State.

“On May 29, an IED planted at the Post Office area of Gonin Gora, Chikun Local Government Area of Kaduna State was discovered and successfully demobilised.

“On June 10, an IED concealed in a sack placed under a kerosene tank on Engineer L.D. Abubakar road, off Kaduna-Abuja Expressway, by Central Market, Gonin Gora, Chikun Local Government Area, Kaduna State, was also discovered and demobilised.

“Information from patrotic citizens, on June 14, led to the discovery of an IED wired with nine volt battery, concealed under the railway track behind Dambo International College, Barnawa, Kaduna South Local Government Area. It was also demo-bilised.

“Also, on June 27, information received from patriotic members of the public assisted in the recovery of some components of yet-to-be assembled explosives. The items include a camping gas cylinder with a pin, detonating cables, a bottle of distilled water, plier, masking tape and clips.

“These were found in a hotel, and were meant to be used to bomb a shopping mall in Kaduna.”

Speaking further on the arrested members of Boko Haram, Ogar said their details would remain classified, “as they are still undergoing the process of de-radicalisation and perception management,” as the government was also trying to win their confidence back to the society.

She, however, said those caught, when eventually released, would be made to face the full wrath of the law if they were caught engaging in anti-social activities again.

naijaking1:
Those were the words used to describe MEND by some people.
BTW, no need making excuses for the criminals.
Why haven't we condemned all these governors and politicians making apologies, and contributing to these peoples finances?

Indeed, those were the words used to describe MEND before they started to bomb innocent people. As far as the governors and ploiticians making apologies go, I for one cannot condemn anyone who is making apologies to save his own life. Now, if you know that some of these politcians contribute to the finances of these people, as you put it, why hasn't GEJ's government operatives arrested them yet?

There is time for legal justice and there is time for jungle justice.

The interesting thing about people who call for jungle justice like the poster of the above junk, is that they are incapable of hurting a fly much more participated in the kind of hand to hand combat they are recommending in Jungle Justice.

Same thing they did in Jos and Ekiti?[/quote]That would be a dumb thing to do na. You can't as a matter of policy allow anyone's farmland or livelihood to be destroyed at will. Tiv have encroached on the herdsmen's grazing land area which they've used for generations. On the other hand, the Tivs need to expand and grow their farming businesses. In the maintime, we have incompetent government officials who will not find a lasting solution to the problem.

naijaking1:
I wonder why GEJ wouldn't level a section of the city known to habour these terrorists just like OBJ leveled Odi.

Please note that at the heart of week's violence is dire poverty and political manoeuvring - not religion. Most of the biolence is perpetrated mainly by frustrated, unemployed youths and orchestrated by religious leaders and politicians who manipulate them to retain power.

So who/what should GEJ destroy like you claim OBJ did?

@OP, your title is a tard insensitive. The Fulani herdsmen are no terrorists by nature, they just want to be left alone to continue to enjoy their way of life in peace.  The government needs to step in an come up with a lasting solution to this proble.

Eko Ile:
The fact that you have many crooks and criminals walking free because of our lousy and corrupt judicial system really should be your main worries, not the folks they parade in and out of EFCC jails and offices.

I agree with the bolded. What would you suggest as a potential solution to this problem? I'm all ears and please don't me intimidated by my directness and respond with the usual unhelpful rants opinion. You come across as a learned person, so please do not shy away from the question - there is nothing wrong with being part of the solution. I patiently await your wisdom.

[quote author=Eko-Ile]That sounds very sad and unfortunate because I did not assert such ridiculous nonsense, stating that this is another waste of time and resources as I stated emanated from the fact that our justice system is too lousy and the folks involved are too incompetent to purvey any kind of meaningful outcome as we've seen decades after decades since our independence.

This has nothing to do with Tinubu and the fact that you quickly attributed my response to Tinubu and me defending Tinubu remains an obvious reflection of your own intellectual prejudice and biased state of mind.[/quote]Continue to decieve yourself. I wonder why we did not hear such a statement from you when EFCC was going after Bankole. Your response is actually quite childish. olodo

Eko Ile:
Waste of time and resources. This thread itself is absolute waste of bandwidth.

Would you please tell us why this is a waste of time and resoures? The Code of Conduct Bureau had slammed a criminal charge of operation and maintenance of 16 foreign accounts while in office against Tinubu. What is wrong with having this man whom you admire greatly defending himself and settig the record straight once and for all?

I never imagined that you'd fall under the category of people who oppose the prosecution of any of their leaders simply because he/she is from their region or tribe. Please tell me that you are not an enabler of these alleged criminals. Don't disappoint me because I really believe that you are not opposed to the rule of law in anyway,

GEJ and his government need to address this Boko Haram issue as a matter of utmost urgency. I really do not understand why a state of emergency has not yet been declared in certain states by now.

GEJ's handlers are in the process of designing the worst imaginable legacy for the president. These same handlers convinced him to dishonour the PDP gentleman's agreement on zoning by contesting in this election. His handlers were so narrow minded and self consumed that they refused to point out the dangers of their recommendations to GEJ. I pity the man (GEJ), he is a good man who is not tough enough to fight fire with fire.

These groups will make the country ungovernable at the rate they are going - I have a hunch that if GEJ had not contested in the last election, these attacks would not be happening at this point in time.

@EzeUche, there is nothing nonsensical about the statement I made, that statement is truthful. Stop comparing truthful statements to falsities based on ignorance. olodo

@udezue, what you are saying is equivalent to an Abriba indigene telling you that he is not Igbo, or an Ijebu person saying he is not Yoruba.  Please go and educate yourself before coming here to write crap.

Obiagu1:
People quarrel but how many times have you heard Igbo vs Ijaw fight if it ever happened?

Are you another lazy one who is unaware of his history? Please tell us why Ikwerre Igbos of Okporowo, Oduoha, Rumuoro and Rumuokani communities of Ogbakiri in Eniohua Local Government were slaughted and turned into refegees a few years ago.

udezue:
@Ndu-chuks and Alj Harem, Southern Kaduna ppl are Katafs and other groups. There is nothing Hausa about them. I know a few and they don't appreciate being tagged Hausa.

malam udezue, I'm sorry I don't have time to educate you today, try to read up on issues before making a fool of yourself by displaying ignorance.  It suffices to tell you that Zango Kataf is a Local Government Area in Kaduna State, and not a tribe. Its headquarters are in the town of Zonkwa. You find predominantly Hausa Kaje people, followed by other settlers including Igbos living there. The Zango Kataf crisis was religious based rather than tribal. olodo

@Ezeuche, please do not try to put words into my mouth and stop pretending that you can't read.  I never said Fulanis caused any problem, what I said was that, it was the failure of government to deal with the Fulani complaints of land encroachment which is responsible for the middle-belt issue. I will continue to blame the government for these problems, and since GEJ is the President, the buck stops with him.

What is your understanding of the  Hausa vs Southern Kaduna conflicts? Lets start here.  Who are the Southern Kaduna people, are they Hausa, Fulani, Gwari, or some other tribe?  I don't think you are aware that the Southern Kaduna people, most of who are Christians are primarily Hausa Kaje.

Southerners do not kill each other over land? What was the Modakeke issue all about?

EzeUche:
Like your people already maim and kill in the Middle Belt? How do you explain Jos, Kaduna and what is happening in Benue state? Truth be told?

My people's problems do not concern your much bigger problems.

Be honest with yourself for once. My statement is accurate and you know it. The midde-belt problem you alluded to is simply due to the failure of the federal government to deal with the Fulani herdsmens' complaints of land encroachment. Blame GEJ for the continued senseless killings going on in those regions.

To Allah (God) be the glory that we have the Northerners whose membership in this country, Nigeria, continues to keep the country ONE. If not for this glue, you people for don kill una selves finish - truth be told.
