Northern Elders To Jonathan - You Have Declared War On Northern Nigeria by igbsam(m): 6:09pm On May 16, 2013
Northern elders on Thursday broke their silence on the slamming of state of emergency in three of their states, describing the action of President Goodluck Jonathan as an indirect declaration of war on the Northern part of Nigeria.

The President’s action, which took the northern elders by surprise, is coming barely three weeks after Jonathan accepted a roadmap from the NEF on how to end the Boko Haram insurgency in parts of the north.

The elders had successfully impressed upon the Presidency to raise the Boko Haram committee to dialogue with the sect with a view to restoring elusive peace to the region. Jonathan, who met with the NEF leadership in Abuja in April, subsequently inaugurated the Turaki-led BH committee with a mandate to broker peace with the sect and compensate their victims within a two-month timeframe.

However, shortly after inaugurating the panel, the sect leadership rejected the amnesty offer, saying that it is the government that should seek amnesty for having killed its Muslim brothers across the country.

But a spokesman for the NEF, Prof Ango Abdullahi, who relayed the position of the group on Thursday, told Vanguard that they were disappointed by the sudden change of tactic by Jonathan on how to resolve the crisis in the north.

“It is very sad for us to see that the President has easily changed direction from dialogue and reconciliation to war in his bid to end the cycle of violence in the north,” Abdullahi said.

Let them take their suggestion to the Senate. Besides, they promised to make Nigeria ungovernable. How ungovernable can they now withstand?

You guys are kids. Showing hatred towards Hausa/Fulani for their many "sins" is not helping President Jonathan and his FG.

You guys talking bravely and fighting the war with your key-boards in the comfort of your rooms. I can assure you the Main Man has, probably, not slept for two hours in the last two days. War is not a tea party and when you are left with the option of turning guns against your own people then you there will be weaknesses in your strength.

Whoever constitutes NEF are spewing out poo out of themselves. How would they call GEJ's action an act of war when their junior generations are making a nuisance of themselves....almost causing another outbreak of civil war all in the name of fulfiling religion.

If they're not wise enough to put their house in order, then the other parts of the beloved nation are ready to help them keep their issues in place. After all our president has shown he's no Dummy but proved the name GCFR.

By the way, Corp members should keep themselves safe! I'm pretty sure, the jumat for tomorrow will be a 'CALL TO WAR"


However, some questions should be asked from the NEF members;
Q1. If you don't think that northerners supports terrorism, why do you see the SOE declaration to fight terrorists as a Fight against Notherners?.

Q2. How are NEF members helping the fight against terror?.

Q3. How can a war against terror turn into war against northerners if both are not Closely Related?.

Q4. Why does fighting terrorist infested states result to fighting Northern Nigeria, if N.Nig has nothing to do with Terrorism?.

If they are saying that War on Boko Haram is war on North then they are indirectly suggesting that Boko Haram is equal to North.

If the North believes in Boko Haram then they should in clear terms seek the creation of an autonomous region where the values Boko Haram stand for is practised!

But so long as they refuse to do the above then the President has the support of the rest of Nigeria to use all tools within his means to defend the Nation's sovereignty

The question now is what/who is/are boko haram?
Boko haram is nothing but a tool plotted by the likes of NEF so as to put a dent or distraction in GEJ govt.
Remember they promised to make Nigeria ungovernable,So if a full blown war against Boko haram is percieved by this extremist called NEF as a war against the north, then i'm not suprised.
What the heck!
In Biafran i stand.

State of emergency: Lawmaker calls for dissolution of committee on Boko Haram’s amnesty

1 2 3 4 5 (0 votes)раскрутка сайтов MEMBER of House of Representatives, representing Jos East and Jos South Federal Constituency of Plateau State, Honourable Bitrus Kaze, has commended President Goodluck Jonathan for mustering the courage to declare emergency rule in Borno, Adamawa and Yobe states, to stem tide of insecurity and called for the dissolution of Kabiru Turaki-led Committee on Boko Haram Amnesty. The federal lawmaker, in a statement, said the declaration of the state of emergency was long overdue, considering the insecurity threatening the national territorial integrity.

Kaze, who pointed out the primary purpose of government anywhere in the world was the security and welfare of its citizens, added that the recurrent and rather frequent declaration of emergency rule in Nigeria by the Federal Government since return to constitutional democracy in 1999, was however self-indicting.

Said he: “ While commending Mr President again for exhibiting constitutional diligence by sparing all democratic structures in the affected states, the recurrent and rather frequent declaration of emergency rule in Nigeria by the Federal Government since our return to constitutional democracy in 1999, was, however, self-indicting.

“ Under the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria as amended, the state security apparatus including the military, the Police, the State Security Services, the Civil Defence Corps and even the Road Traffic Wardens are entirely federal establishments. If any tier of government should be blamed more for failing to adequately tackle prolonged security challenges nationwide, it is the Federal Government.”

Kaze, thereby, implored President Jonathan to go the whole hog and disband the Kabiru Turaki-led Committee on Boko Haram Amnesty, adding that it was no longer tenable, because of the decalaration of state of emergency.

”Having declared of emergency rule, the prospects for achieving peace by granting amnesty to remorseless and ever rampaging terrorists has been invariably jettisoned. A band of terrorists who have categorically declined amnesty plans directed at them and who instead are beginning to overrun some parts of the country ought not to and must not be entertained in any form dialogued if the purpose of the emergency rule must be achieved,” he said.

Is it now crystal clear?

I have said it severally here in the past, that boko-haram enjoys active support and sympathy from northern muslims. I am yet to meet one (northern muslim) who is yet to condemn this group.

Tinibu continue playing politics with peoples' lives.

I am sorry Sir. But the last time I checked, recruitment into the Nigerian Armed Forces is by quota system and there are 19 States in the North Sir.

I am also worried that there are reports that in several cases in Bornu BH usually get to know of Nigerian Army's plans before they are executed.

The most difficult war is fighting your "own" (an enemy within). For your reference you can pick any book on Nigerian coups and you will understand many possible outcomes of this expedition.

The truth is....... the north is screwed!

Hated by the whole south for mismanaging Nigeria, forced by boko haram to accept a strict religion, divided in their opinion about Jonathan, confused about their future and afraid of losing oyel moni. The north is no longer as strong as they used to be. Jonathan is killing them silently.

Good response. NL is full of typists who pour forth fiery, explosive rhetoric day and night. One would think they are all war veterans and decorated war heroes but we know the truth - the majority of them have NEVER, EVER handled any kind of firearm.
