DISREGARD RE-CYCLED OLD VIDEOS OF FAKE SHEKAU
BH Desperate Propaganda To Revive A Dead Rotting Symbol
-Attorney Patryk Utulu

Our volunteers have spent 36 hours (3 days) watching and analyzing clips of RE-CYCLED OLD videos of fake/dead Shekau posted on YouTube by Boko Haram and their sympathizers. Rather than research it Nigeria's lazy, gossipy, drama-obsessed media are loudly proclaiming that Shekau is back!

RUBBISH!!! THOSE VIDEOS RE-CONFIRMED THAT SHEKAU IS DEAD!!

WHAT BOKOS POSTED ARE RE-CYCLED VIDEOS OF SHEKAU SAYING GENERIC THINGS LIKE "WE WON'T ACCEPT CEASEFIRE." This time they smartly posted less "famous" old clips and used ping voice-over technique in a video to mention "Danladi Ahmadu," the fraudster BH sent to Chad to discuss fake "ceasefire" while, as we warned the Federal Government, BH regrouped. There are dozens of such videos of Shekau saying the same things 4 years ago. Shekau said NOTHING UNIQUELY NEW in any of these posted videos.

Boko Haram knew that deliberately, or merely from laziness, the Nigerian media and bloggers will add editorial comments and thereby help BH to carry forward their desperate propaganda to revive Shekau, their mischief symbol. Thereafter, millions of honest Nigerians who have good reasons to be disappointed in our government AND committed haters of President Jonathan did the rest thru file "sharing" and blogging. Strange, isn't it, that SaharaReporters that was nowhere to be seen in August-September when Nigerian Army was beating Boko Haram in the battlefield are suddenly all over the place posting/re-posting these videos?

On October 19, 2014, I posted a Facebook article entitled: "BOKO HARAM USING CEASEFIRE TO REVIVE SHEKAU: Insist on Negotiating Only Via Fake Videos of Dead Shekau." It was based on info from contacts within the Chadian Military.

HERE IS PARAGRAPH 3 OF THE ARTICLE:
"Boko Haram insists on negotiating only through pre-recorded videos of the already dead Abubakar Shekau. Our contacts said that BH is NOT sitting face to face with Nigerian officials. BH did NOT send any known mid level officers or commanders even though the Government of Chad guaranteed Safe Passage. Instead the terrorists send "pre-recorded videos of Shekau through an old man who says insists that all demands are in the videos." [He is Danladi Ahmadu].

HERE IS LAST PARAGRAPH OF THE ARTICLE:
"BUT DON'T BE DECEIVED NIGERIANS: No matter the good faith of FGN. No matter what President Jonathan offers Boko Haram it is NOT the end of BH's terrorist attacks. BH has too many politicians and millions of supporters who believe that BH can help them realize the dream of a separate nation. So, it is NOT even the beginning of the end. If this ceasefire (which BH has already violated) fails, perhaps [NIGERIA] will finally get to the end of falling for BH's gimmick of using fake ceasefires to prep their next gunfire."

The tragedy of Nigeria is that a nation of incredibly intelligent people falls again and again for incredibly silly ceasefire tricks and swallows old badly-edited re-cycled videos of a dead terrorist saying things he said a hundred times before" That Boko Haram currently occupies Bama is a national tragedy. That Mubi is now a ghost town should be embarrassing for Federal/State Govts of Nigeria.

BUT DON'T LET PAIN DRAIN OUR BRAIN: SHEKUA IS DEAD!!!

Recycling Old videos with background voice-over is sensational but stupid. HEY, BOKO SUPPORTERS: SHEKAU IS DEAD!!! DISPROVE IT. SHOW A VIDEO OF SHEKAU discussing SOMETHING TRULY CURRENT such as U.S. Military sending thousands of American soldiers to Liberia to fight Ebola?

SUPPORT NIGERIAN MILITARY BY "SHARING" THIS ARTICLE.

Instead of the man to sit down with his colleagues and proffer solutions on how to end this evil menace called Bokoharam they're busy analyzing if Shekau' is dead or not.

Okay Shekau' is dead, on whose leadership are those fools still operating under? They're conquering towns every month, killing innocent Nigerians and making tge rest homeless and the only thing this man could come up with is analysis of Shekau's death. What a Shame.

OP forgot to add 'Nairalander' to his list of useless titles.

Pre-recorded video my backside.

eemm! mr. partrik abi na artoney partrick tank you for that beautiful analysis! don't mind our copy copy journalists! meanwhile in the mean time can u be kind of enuf to leave your comfort zone in USA and come back to Nigeria and head straight to Mubi and help us tell the people there to stop running cause shakau has been dead since long time imo river! while you are at it, kindly help us find out who is responsible for all the killings there or maybe those dead bodies are just sleeping and not dead!

Anuofia! ekwensu bu kwa gi onu there!

#bokoharamispolitical...here are my reasons. 1) boko haram always strikes when there is tension in the polity. ...2) the so called shekau waited for the truce negotiation to end b4 sending his so called video,why not when the negotiation was going on.

BOKO HARAM HAS ALL THESE PRE-RECORDED VIDEOS OF "SHEKAU" SAYING GENERIC THINGS LIKE:

1. There is no ceasefire OR we will never accept ceasefire
2. We have married off the Chibok girls
3. We will destroy Bama or Mubi
4. Shekau is our Supreme Leader.

The common factor in these "generic" videos is that they are NOT "TIME-SPECIFIC" that is, the videos could have been made 5 yrs ago or last month or today. Boko Haram has accepted/rejected/initiated/refused ceasefire countless times and BH has captured and lost Bama/Mubi more than once. SHEKAU IS DEAD. SHEKAU IS USED TO TAUNT NIGERIAN AUTHORITIES. BH DESPERATELY WANTS TO "REVIVE" SHEKAU LEGEND

IF SHEKAU IS ALIVE, IT SHOULD BE EASY TO PROVE: SHOW A SIMPLE VIDEO OF SHEKAU (FACE VISIBLE) DISCUSSING SOMETHING THAT IS TRULY CURRENT, E.G. USA SENDING SOLDIERS TO LIBERIA TO FIGHT EBOLA OR SPEAKER AMINU TAMBUWAL DEFECTION FROM PDP TO APC

Boko Haram cannot do it because Shekau is dead. Instead of showing real proof of life Boko Haram is relying on supporters and those who hate the Federal Govt to help them insist that "Shekau is alive." Don't support terrorists because you dislike the President. President Jonathan is just a temporary occupant of Aso Villa. One comment above by username (AYUKDABOSS) said he would rather support Boko Haram than "one silly lawyer living large in the U.S." Ayukdaboss does not know me, has never met me but he concludes that I am silly therefore he would support terrorists against our Fatherland. What can we make of a Nigerian who would support terrorists because he is jealous of a fellow Nigerian living abroad? I started my law practice in Chief Gani Fawehinmi chambers as the youngest lawyer who ever worked there. I have been jailed many times defending the right of other Nigerians but Ayukdaboss thinks I am silly because I live in USA now.

SO, HERE IS MY ADVICE TO NIGERIANS: NIGERIA IS BIGGER THAN JONATHAN. DON'T LET BOKO HARAM WIN THIS WAR.

I am a lawyer in Nigeria and USA. Went to Law School in both nations and passed the bar. Since the Year 2000 I have never come to Nigeria fewer than 10 times each year. This year I have already come to Nigeria 13 times. So, I know what is going on in Nigeria. SHEKAU IS DEAD.

Attorney PatrykUtulu u can lie for Africa o. where did u see support in safari29 comment? why would I keep believing or support Nigerian Army or Government when they keep lying to us? when it is obvious to us that the are incopentent and clueless with a daft president?

SAFARI29:

You are right. You did NOT write it. I extend my sincere apologies.
It was AYUKDABOSS who wrote as follows:

Ayukdaboss mentioned your username at the top of his comment and I thought Nairaland System ID-ed you as the writer. I will edit my comment. Thanks for pointing it out to me.

Interesting. I hope you're the real Honorable Patrick Utulu.

1) I never said "you're silly"...go back to the first two comments and get clarification. that I didn't...Safari did and I quoted him/her. Not that I really care...because I'm still not cool with you.

2) You said Shekau' is dead right? If that's the case on whose leadership is Bokoharam still causing terror in the North?...these are the things I expected you to point out after your "Shekau' is dead" speech and proffer solutions to how Bokoharam can be defeated.

3) Your writeup doesn't really help in the fight against bokoharam Sir. It's always good we're truthful to ourselves on National issues. Our brothers and sisters are being killed and displaced from their homes everyday. I believe Bokoharam is well beyond Shekau' being alive or dead. Right now due to the lies and propaganda by our government we are now forced not to believe what Bokoharam says instead of our FG.

I can assure you now that if Bokoharam announces on publicTV that we shouldn't go out tomorrow and the FG debunks their statements, many people would stick to Bokoharam...why? Because we have lost our trust in this government.

I don't know why but I believe this.

Boko Haram is no bigger than the Nigerian Army and as such must be employing guerrila tactics.

1. Are you trying to tell me our military is inefficient against a rag-tag army?
2. Why is this "war" still going on when it shouldn't have lasted more than two months?
3. If the chibok girls have truly been sold off why not raid hideouts in the forest and clear every breathing thing?

Other questions I can't think of right now would be added with time.

Some of your questions should be directed at the army. If our soldiers of Hausa origin treats bokoharam as freedom fighters, theirs nothing the rest of us can do except remove all officers of hausa origin which i think is very unlikely. It took the USA and NATO 10yrs to fight the Taliban, last I heard the USA and NATO (strongest military aliance in the world) are packing there bags without defeating the Taliban. It is very difficult to defeat an insurgent group hell bent on using guerilla tactics.

Nigerian medias are trying don't insult them, that video was first aired in foreign media,

Your statement would only be valid if Sambisa was in a different geographical entity and not in Nigeria. Its the same stupid analysis our government uses to shoot themselves in the foot.

If you're bringing the fight to the enemy on their turf it'd make sense if in the next 20years you can't clear them but whereas they live in the same country it should not take too long to secure victory. Also, America recorded more success than losses in Iraq and Afghanistan unlike what we've been hearing about regarding our troops.
