@pointB
i am an edo boy and for you to say MEND is a more acceptible evil than boko haram is really a shame
they are both bunch of silly criminals with messed up brains
MEND SAYS THEY ARE FIGHTING FOR THE PEOPLE AND AS WAS ASKED EARLIER ON,HOW MANY OF THOSE PEOPLE LIVE UP TO 5% THE WAY THE LEADERS OF MEND LIVE
BOKO HARAM IS FIGHTING FOR A CAUSE THAT IS NOT ONLY silly BUT ALSO IDIOTIC,
WHEN PEOPLE START USING ECONOMIC OPPRESSION AND RELIGION TO BASE THE REASONS FOR THEIR AGITATIONS IN NIGERIA,THEN YOU KNOW SOMEWHERE ALONG THE LINE MONEY IS INVOLVED

Choosing between Boko Haram and MEND is like choosing between the Devil and the deep sea. I am simply saying I rather be cast in the sea than embrace the devil. While both option are not palatable, every rational mind will accept that while both are deadly and cause untold hardship, death and misfortune to people, MEND (militancy) is lesser evil than Boko Haram (terrorism)

True.

That is why we need to nip this Boko Haram threat in the bud.

@topic

I laugh in roles.

Dont they already have roles, orchestrating bombings in their regions? They want larger roles so that they can export the bombs to the south? Bunch of jobless loafers!

PointB, you are nothing but revulsion. I don't read from you a single meaningful post all the way through your wasted days here, I misfortune the kind of graduate you are, learn to use your number 6 before liberating any of your comment.

My brother, I know you are trying to insult me. But you should at least try to make some sense so that I know what kind of names or insult you are throwing at me. In any case, let me make it clear, that I did not collect your bread, nor deny you your rights to post on Nairaland. If I have offended you with my post, it is very very deliberate and I offer no apology whatsoever.

Nairaland political section is not fairyland; it is not for teenager or for the faint of heart; it is for conniving, scheming grown ups and those who understand the under-laying intricacies at play; for those who see the corners and the bigger picture. So please if you cant stomach what you read here, try the joke or romance section. That is my personal recommendation, now please run off, and dont say I didn't do anything good for you, my little man.

alj_harem:
Ridiculous statement my brother. A terrorist group is a terrorist group.

what of the kidnapped Nigerians caught by mend, where they not killed

just because Mend does not come out to bomb populated areas like BH does , does not mean they have not killed Hundreds of Nigerians

Initially you were speaking like the foolish aboki you are. But the highlight does make sense.

MEND not bombing populated area makes them -  militant [/b]group;
Boko Haram bombing populated areas with the single intention of killing civilians in large number makes them [b]terrorist [/b]group.

Let me spell it out slowly;

MEND are [b]Militant
Boko Haram - with links to Al Qaeda, and Al Shabaab  are confirmed Terrorists

The international community will not respond in the same way.
Militants can be reasoned with, terrorists should be confronted.

That is why Yar Adua sent MEND boys to school abroad and looked the other way when police took out Yusuf the Boko Haram leader in captivity (and he deserved what he got!)

MILITARY GOVERNORS SWORN IN AND WARNED OF PENALTIES FOR CRIME AND CORRUPTION. (video clip)[/size]

http://www.itnsource.com/shotlist//ITN/1984/01/05/AS050184005/?s=nigeria&st=2&pn=96&sortBy=date
(this clip starts moving after first 35seconds)

Nineteen military governors were formally appointed by the new Head of State, Major-General Mohammed Buhari, and other members of the country's Supreme Military Council (SMC) in Lagos on January 4 to run Nigeria's federal states.

General Buhari attended the official swearing-in ceremony, which came four days after he led a bloodless coup ousting former President Shehu Shagari.

Speaking at the ceremony, Buhari reminded his new governors of their duties.All were chosen, he said, for their ability to discharge their responsibilities in the best interests of the country.He went on to warn them that crime and corruption for personal gain, one reason for the coup, would be ruthlessly punished.

My friend quit wasting byte space, every Nigerian President/Head of State after him said the same thing, that ediioot Buhari was quoted as saying. They are for the press and publicity!  

You man Buhari is a bad market in Nigeria, or why did you think he lost elections three times in a row?

Yea, I know, you like your other colleagues will blame his loss on 'ignorant Nigerians.'

Pathetic excuse, if you ask me.

Jakumo:
It surely is about time some Good Samaritan hauled off and seriously bust a cap on Ayatollah Buhari.  

Smoke that bird-brained the genocide instigator of the Boko Haram and lost elections fame, and turn him into an oozing jellyfish like his hero Osama Bin Laden wound up, when the Navy Seals got done with him.  Nobody will miss that waste of space, except perhaps his illiterate murder-mobs, who rely on Ayatollah Buhari to funnel Al Queda terrorist blood-money for the perpetration of their ongoing bombing campaign against innocent civilians in Nigeria.

Well said, no one will miss him; or maybe perhaps those who enjoy seeing him continuously make a mockery of himself as a perpetual election loser, and litigant. Other than that and his recent orchestration of mass murder of innocent corpers and other Nigeria, and his enthronement of Boko Haram, what has that old senile murderer contributed to Nigeria?

You are right sir, he wont be missed; the celebration of his exit will only be matched by that of Abacha's - both murderous sons of bi*&S*cth!

dipo+:
Its shameful that the Nigerian state has not been able to check the atrocities of the BH sect. And this failure is spelling a bigger doom for the nation because it is only a matter of time before another rival group takes it upon itself to brandish weapons against BH.

I will not go into MEND/BH comparison because both are criminal bodies and have done the singular unpardonable i.e killing innocent humans.

Our country has made mistakes in the past, like not handling illegal groups like MEND firmly and I think we should atone for that starting with this BH. No amnesty bulltalk should even come up. Deploy the military after some investigation and annihilate any body listed as a threat to the Nigerian unity.
the Nigerian unity.

You have spoken like an erudite, kudos.

I dont just understand why people left a clear and present danger to talk about one that is not all that threatening at the moment. Otherwise people might even start distracting us with OPC, and Egbesu boys before them, and Bakassi Boys, and Maitesin (?), and etc, when the real issue how to tackle the Boko Haram menace!

At any rate, if the Ijaw Militants threat to Boko Haram will lead to a comprehensive solution to the Nigerian equation, so be it. At the edge of the darkest night, is the assuring light of dawn!

spicyhunky:
This man called Buhari should just keep his mouth shut.This is how he incited the Nothern Almajiris to take up arms knowing fully well that he was going to loose elections.He comes out to paint himself as a saint.Was he not the head of the criminal millitary gang that seized power from Shagari in 1983.What is the difference between that and armed robbery.These same gang constituted themselves into the elite that he is part of.I advise the security operatives to watch him.

Abeg tell them oo. The Buhari man thinks that we have forgotten why we didn't vote him. If he want sympathy, let him call off his Boko Haram dogs off the street before he can start talking.

Parnassuss:
Sure he makes sense, but after these incessant security breaches all over the country I believe this man might be the worse of the lot.

No thinking required; the guy practically told his goon to get ready to massacre other Nigerians if he loses  the election, and that was exactly what happened! That man is a bundle of evil; thank God he didn't win!

@some comments,

We the 'ignorant Nigerians'  are having fun at the expense of the  informed yet bitter Nigerians!  
In our ignorance, we decided to choose a meek, humble man with little or no track record, because we believe in him.

We refused to accept the bigoted murderer called General Buhari not only because he had blood on his hands or because of his bigoted views; but also based on our believe that he is an old clueless Islamic fundamentalis; moreover we enjoy seeing him contest and lose every four years, and we hope to see him try and lose again in 2015.  

Now we the ignorant Nigerian are enjoying what we achieved, but the bitter one are angry and even more bitter for what we did. Because we are ignorant, we are happy, but because they are wise, they are bitter. Now which of  these two people are more likely to have a healthy live? The ignorant and meek, or the educated and bitter? Your guess is a good as mine!

If you are informed as you truly claim, then I truly pity most of you. Cos you failed to understand what happened in 2011 election. Buhari was not, is not, and will NEVER EVER be qualified to rule Nigeria! Chikena!  

Nonsense. The old bigot will point everywhere and blame everyone but himself.

This was the same eddioot who was responsible for truncating Nigeria democracy at the very nascent; the same foolish tribalistic myopic man who frustrated Lagos Metroline plan over 25 years ago (offering rather to pay of 40% of loan as fine, rather that conclude the transaction, simple because the idea was not North bias). But whenever he speaks Nigerians with short memory will savour all the idiocy he regurgitate from his bigoted belly and lips.

If anyone is to be held responsible for Nigeria woes, it should be the [b]bigoted myopic elitist [/b]Buhari and his band of military interventionists, foremost before others. End of story!

Ess:
Tell me you went to school and the type if so,  

Whether you feel your brothers are killing government officials and expatriates for a purpose to enrich themselves and still letting their fellow community in same horrible condition.
And BH killing people in the name of religion,
BOTH ARE BAD AND SHOULD BE CONDEMNED!

So pls use your head and stop trying to cover any BAD DEED just because they are your brothers.

My friend shaattap dere! What do you know about school and school? You think you are qualified to lecture me about education and application of knowledge? What exactly do you know? Libyan rebel are busy killing other Libyan with active support of Americans, Africans, Europeans, and Asians, nobody has banded them criminals let alone terrorist.

Actions are taken into context, if you were actually schooled like you claim, categorizing actions is very important in understanding events and its sequence. MEND never set out to kill or maim; there campaign was nevertheless infiltrated by criminal elements. However, no one can say the same for Boko Haram, who announced themselves few years ago by sacking police stations and civil authority.

In that regard, MEND and Boko Haram are world apart. And if you actually can actually comprehend like you pretended, you will understand that there is a huge difference between MEND and Boko haram, and that is what I tried to highlight, Mr. educated man!

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

Demdem:
^^^^^^^

U dey mind the guy. i honestly cant fathom what is reasonable in MEND. go check all the various houses and properties of the so called warlords and u will av an idea of what truly they were fighting for. The masses (ND peeps) are still lamenting and suffering though.

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 Militants (criminals in not even the right word, and I actually called them that in a haste.) 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

A brief comparison of George W Bush and GEJ through the analogy of baseball.

George W Bush approaches home plate, he swings, he misses! The crowd moans "Ohhhhhhhhh!"

GEJ approaches home plate and drops bat. "Guys I no fit. I'm not Babe Ruth. I'm not Sammy Sosa. I'm not Derek Jeter. Don't expect anything"

^^^

On the contrary, he gets home, drops the bats, and said, 'I am not a fake Goliath, or carbon copy of General Obasanjo (a fool according to General IBB). I am GEJ, simple, humble, and efficient nonetheless. God made me original, I will not live like copy! No amount of blackmail or insults will make me change my style!

Demdem:
Living in a glass house and throwing heavy stones. It would have been honorable for them to keep their mouth shut. Reminded me of OBJ calling IBB a Fool when both are fools.
They all are criminals abegiii.

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!

Demdem:
Idiotic statement. The same way the ND region harbored criminals, where they pushed out from the their midst?
Once again i re-iterate that MEND, BOKOHARAM, IJAW MILITANTS and their likes are all Criminals.

Idiotic statement! Does two wrongs then make a right?

Press Statement

BOKO HARAM:  Enough is enough and No Basis For Unity.

We are compelled by the present Boko Haram merciless bombing in the country without verifiable developmental agitation.  The continuous killings of Christians in the north should be stop forthwith. Those foolish and irresponsible enough to assume or pretend that it is possible to run Nigeria by sectarian dictation do no more than reject a natural phenomenon, which is that when it hits, it reverberates.

The tsunami of Boko Haram will not, in its sweep, skip the homes and interests of it promoters, active or passive.  Boko Haram has been leaving bombs around churches and other places with clusters of the innocent.  In the event of a failed state, all those Nigerians pretending to possess two heads, and currently cruising around in limousines and jetting about the globe will be grounded.

Why can’t we live in peace?  If peace is pronounced a war, why can’t we go our separate ways by amicable agreement?  Boko Haram may have its origins from wherever it likes.  Its wild excesses are essentially a reaction to the Presidential ascendancy of Dr. Goodluck Jonathan.  It has its sponsors and financiers.   If we are actually one Nigeria, why won’t we allow other Geo-political Zone to rule the country?

Saudi Arabia is the centre of the Islamic faith, yet, there was not even a single killing of Christian faithful in that country.  why all these killings of National Youth Service Corps members and other innocent citizens in reaction to Goodluck Jonathan’s Presidential Victory?

“NOTE WELL, if further killings by Boko Haram as a result of Goodluck Jonathan’s Presidency in the country within fourteen days of this statement, we shall without hesitation commence sending every Muslim in the Niger Delta Region to their various homes and ask our people to return home.  No section of this country is an embodiment of killing others. Muslims can’t live in our land freely (Niger Delta) while they will be killing our people in their land. If they don’t want peace we will meet them were ever they are. This is our message.”

No Muslim has condemned the killings of Christians by Boko Haram in the North.  Is it only the administration of President Goodluck Jonathan Nigeria has witnessed major security lapses as the northern elites want to ridicule him as incapable of protecting the territorial integrity of the country?  we have tasted blood war. [size=18pt] 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.[/size]

The emergence of the notorious Boko Haram was premediated and designed to blackmail and undermines the authority of President Jonathan. The Sect is suspected to be affiliated with the Yemini version of Al Quaeda.

We urge the President to invoke his powers as Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces and give his security chiefs an ultimatum within which to use every strategy to dislodge the notorious Boko Haram and other perpetrators of attack on the Nigerian people. The Truth is that no dispensation will ever be good in Nigeria except from Muslim North. The release of Boko Haram Co-founder, Alhaji Ali Tishau by the Police on request by the Defence Intelligence Agency (DIA) and later vanished from detention is clear demonstration that the North is out to fight the President with the Islamic Sect. Enough is enough with this Sect to worry Mr. President.

That if further attempt to distract the developmental attention of Mr. President in the country, we the Egbesu Mightier Fraternity will earth the so called Boko Haram in the North. This is our word. We have killed and we will not care to kill again.

This is signed by the joint Revolutionary Council.

The bolded should resonate very well with Ahj Haram the Kanuri man from Maiduguri . Why dont you point out these murderous  terrorists - Boko Haram - to the security agencies. I am sure you pray with some of them in the same mosque. Is that not true? Pls say the truth for once.

[size=13pt]THE BIGGEST MUMUS HERE ARE THE NAIRALANDERS WHO CAN NEVER UNDERSTAND 'THE POLITICS OF HUMILITY'.
ABACHA was a Lion of Judah,and warrior,what did he do for you? He killed Ken Saro Wiwa.
BABANGIDA was a General,a pharoh,King,what did he do for you? He annulled June 12.
GEJ is now coming to tell some of you EEEEEEEEEdiots on Nairaland that he is not a RULER but a LEADER,yet some of you are busy displaying your conquered egos and absence of common sense on this Forum.
OBASANJO clearly displayed ALL the above SUPERMAN leadership qualities some of you are asking GEJ to adopt,yet many phucking mooorons on NL still insult baba OBJ.Accusing him of destroying Odi amongst other crimes.
The REAL leaders are the ones who humble themselves in spite of the powers at their disposal,and carry the sane segments of their citizens along.
Ride on GEJ,thank God most of your critiques on this fora will never smell even the gutters of Aso rock,their greatest acheivement will only be using faceless avatars to post rubbish on Nairaland convincing themselves that they are relevant.

^Yar Adua had no liver either. Didn't you read the wikileaks?

Holak:
PointB, I understand where you are coming from and have no need to try to convince you. When vested interests are involved, we kick and kick. If the rumour is about someone we are not inclined to, we accept without looking at any background. All I know is that it is a serious one and me and you cannot say whether it is true or not. Just wonder why it is Gov. Chime and why it is the sister-in-law? If there is no iota of truth there, then we shall know in the course of time. No need to give you some info since you have vested interest. But we shall see how it plays out.

Indeed I have vested interest. Let me confess my vested interest as follow: Governor Sullivan Chime is my elder brother. He cloths and feeds me. He paid my school fees through secondary and tertiary school. He had promised to give me one of the state's private jets when he leaves office, besides he shares the state treasury with me. He also promised me access to his numerous local and foreign concubines. Indeed I have vested interest.

Though you and I saw him while he was impregnating his sister-in-law, but my vested interest prevents me from saying the truth. What then is your excuse, Oga vested interest?

Holak:
The fact that the blogger tried to blackmail Mrs. Ekwunife does not mean the story of the governor's infidelity is false. I have heared this news sometimes before reading it online. While it is not proved, we cannot just push it aside. I believe there are many of the governor's apologists on NL but we continue probing until the truth is told. Any body who knows the governor should know he is randy, And he is saying he don't want to reply. Why

It's means there is nothing the blogger can not do to make money. He could easily have said Alj Harem recruits suicide bombers for Boko Haram, and Hausa Mauraders to attack Jos, with photos to 'prove' it, unless Alj Harem gives him N 10m. But we all know that Alj Harem cannot do this, even though his words and ways points to that inclination. That's how blackmail works - get a potential fall guy!

@Topic,

This President is just making a simple point.

That you can be humble in leadership, and still achieve you goals.
The veracity of otherwise of that can only be seen at the end of his tenure.

So far, I think the foundation in terms of personnel and plans GEJ has laid is rock solid. I like to see him build on those. For that I am willing to wait!
