Some people are half educated. Firstly, Nigeria is not at War, we only battle terrorism.
Why are Jonathanians afraid of 2015?
It is end of the Road for PDP, They Should get used to the fact that APC Government Headed by General Buhari is coming to take charge in 2015.

**MODIFIED**

Anyway, let me use this opportunity to enlighten our esteemed Readers.

1. General Muhammadu Buhari Crushed Maittetsine Insurgency within 16 Months in the 80s
2. Maitatsine resurfaced again in 1985 when General Babangida was in Power and was again crushed within weeks by the IBB Government
3. President Olusegun Obasanjo/Atiku Regime crushed islamic fundamentalist uprising within weeks during their tenure
4. President Musa Yar Adua crushed Boko Haram and their leader arrested in 2009, within weeks. They scampered away

What is Jonathan's excuse?
Clever man

What kind of weapons did maitaitsine group used and compare the weapons with that used by BH


Did Buhari faced opposition and sabotage in his war against terrorists

Ogbeni, since when did Mandela, Chief Awolowo and Dr. Azikiwe become secessionists? Only Ojukwu falls into this category(and Shekau grin).
Mandela was a Human Right Advocate and Freedom Fighter, just like Ken Saro Wiwa

Chief Awolowo was a Nationalist to the core, Azikiwe comes close. These men Killed Nobody, no civilian nor declared any war against their country.

Isaac Boro was a Liberator, Freedom Fighter and Soldier just like Gen Adekunle and General Gowon

But Ojukwu killed people in the Niger Delta, Midwest Region and even served "Jungle Justice" to his fellow Biafran Soldiers before he was owned by Gen Adekunle. Shekau is also killing innocent people in the North (of course he will still be owned by the military)

The question you should ask is where did BH get their weapons.
Answer: Jonathan supplies them.
Whenever the FG buys 10 gun they give the army 5 BH 3 Asari Dokubo 2.

Politics or Corruption, which one of these, is the bigger Thief in Nigeria? OBJ is a well tested Democrat, no doubt about that. He is also a proved Patriotic Nationalist. His military experience probably inspired him to advice GEJ, at a time, to use UDI FORMULA to stop boko haram encroachment into Nigeria. Politicians around GEJ encouraged GEJ to bluff OBJ's advice and call it undemocratic. I don't know who informed Barak Obama to warn Nigeria of possible disintegration in 2015. Now Mubi in the Northeast is on fire. Yola and many more towns in the Northeast are in panic, what is happening in Nigeria? And all these bad experiences are happening in the Northeast. Are we being invaded from the North west, the seat of the Calliphate? What role is APC playing in all these? The defection of Tambuwal a northwest man shamelessly and rudely to APC without bashing an eye, Rochas' ongoing romance with the Calliphate as subterfuge for a piece of the action, the threat of the Reps. to postpone the 2015 election etc are pointers to the Calliphate being up to no good. For how can an unknown entity stay in Nigeria, in your own house and before you know, drive you out of your bedroom and kitchen and start preparing for you a concoction you are not used to? Or is this the reason why GEJ is considering Dasuki for VP? Please GEJ, as the current President of Nigeria, you have the Power to re-engage OBJ, the only reliable and reputable "WAR HERO" Nigeria has ever had to lead Nigerian forces to prosecute this war against bokoharam for Nigeria. God bless you Mr. President. God bless Nigeria. You shall overcome.

Maybe the Opposition party Apc should go to court and get an Injuction which proves that Boko Haram is not a seccessionist group craving for an Islamic Caliphate out of Nigeria Territories. Boko Haram have ceased to be a terrorist group when they declare a REPUBLIC OF ISLAMIC CALIPHATE , the have a President Shiek Abubakar Shekau . They are holding and occupying a definite territory no more hit and run operations. They have thousands of trained soldiers equipped with even Armoured Cars and Tanks. Trucks mounted with Anti- Aircraft missles.

They captured territories for Boko Haram and judiciously administered it using Emirs who they Installed. SO IT IS CLEAR THAT BOKO HARAM IS OPERATING A STATE WITHIN THE STATE OF NIGERIA their action is Called SECCESSIONISM and if caught they will be tried for treason.
Go to court if you think Boko haram is not a Sovereign Seccesionist Group using Violence to achieve their objectives!!

Part 1 section (1) subsection 2 1999 constitution states

" The federal Republic of Nigeria shall not be governed , nor shall any persons or group of persons take control of the Government of Nigeria or any part thereof, except in accordance with the provision of this constituion

Section 2 subsection 1


" Nigeria is one indivisble and indissoluble sovereign state to be known by the name of the federal Republic of Nigeria"

******************************

The question now is have boko haram taken over part of any territory of Nigeria?? If yes then the Indivisiblity and indissolubilty of Nigeria is threatend and its a clear act of war against the people and Government of Nigeria .

Nigeria is at war and Nigeria is not fighting terrorist anymore its a seccesionist movement . By the virtue of Boko haram capturing and holding town its SECCESSION!!!
shut up young man... What do you mean by secessionist.? Pakistan, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon et al. Have been battling more hardened terrorists group like the taliban, al qaeda, al haqqani, al nusra and more recently the islamic state et al. And election still holds in those countries. I believe there is a deliberate play by those power that be to forestall elections in the north or completely postpone the elections. How do you explain the abandonment of military post and installations in the north by our men on the sight of some miscreant.? A rag tag group like boko haram causing our military men to flee without even a fight. Nigerians are wiser now. It only pains me that we have an incompetent man as our president otherwise this would have long been history. The name Jonathan makes me sick. Gosh!!!

THEY WANT THIS MAN TO BE SHAKING AGAIN IN HIS GRAVE.
HE WOULD BE SUPRISED THAT ONE HALF LITERATE MAN FROM HIS DOMAIN WILL ILLOGICALLY NAIL HIM AT DEATH.
THERE IS DIFFERENCE BETWEEN OJUKWU(SECCESSIONIST) AND SHEKAU (TERRORIST).
IF THEY KEEP ARGUING, I PLEAD WITH BARCANISTA TO AGREE WITH THEM THAT THEY ARE BOTH SECCESSIONISTS AND TERRORISTS.
IT IS THEIR CHOICE.

Keep quity and stop talking thrash, war what is war, I'm onrest soceity, the constitution has clearly stated that when there is war the election can be prospond for aleast 6months ok.

Look at wat someone has said about Buhari's, I was born and raised in Kaduna and where I lived is a walking distance to Buhari's resident, here is what I have to say him.

Buhari is an extremist, a coupist, a bigot, and an oppressor, he's an old desperate jihadish.

Like the OP have correctly said,
*1 in 2003 general election, buhari urged Muslims to vote for a Muslim who will rule according to the law of sharia, that makes him an extremist,

*2 he overthrew a democratic elected president, that makes him a coupist,

*3 after a successful coup, he sent the then president shagari a northern to home and jailed his vice a southern, that makes him a bigot,

*4 at the age of 73 he's still contesting elections without minding the future of the youths, that makes him an oppressor,

*5 he promised to make life miserable for none Muslims in 2011, he's supporters took arm and started killing none Muslims when he lost the 2011 poll, that makes him a jihadish.

Anyone in support of Buhari needs to justify these facts. Well if u can't then it means you don't even know what u are up against. BTW NO NORTHERN CHRISTIAN WILL EVER VOTE BUHARI.

The national assembly, not the prsident.
tochukwuifeduba:
Boko haram is not just a terrorist group but a secessionist movement aimed at recreating an ancient Islamic El Kanemi Caliphates in the NorthEast of Nigeria. which can be likened to the 2 Nigeria Civil war. In view of this fact the presidency and the national Assembly must invoke Section 135 of the 1999 constitution

Section 135 of the 1999 Constitution as amended states, “If the Federation is at war in which the territory of Nigeria is physically involved and the President considers that it is not practicable to hold elections, the National Assembly may by resolution extend the period of four years mentioned in subsection (2) of this section from time to time; but no such extension shall exceed a period of six months at any one time.
