It has been PDP and Jonathan's plan to make the boko haram insugence continue so that they will elongate their tenure.
Do we now see why Boko haram insurgence might not come to an end?

Dont't you think that your J@njaweed party members wil also be happy with this development? undecided

All the afore mentioned were generals in the Nigerian army, Yar Adua has a general as a direct relative and you cannot compare them to GEJ who's a bloody civilian.

Logically you are pathetic. Jonathan didn't learn from his Oga when he was VP? He was drinking kaikai and eating fresh fish when Musa Yar Adua was dealing with Yusufiyya Led Boko-Haram? How does being a brother to a soldier makes one a soldier sef?

Bros I recommend you to study this passage of the Bible, Proverbs 4:7

The beginning of wisdom is this: Get wisdom. Though it cost all you have, get understanding.

There is a popular military quotation " I am not scared of a pack of sheeps led by a lion but greatly scared by a pack of lions led by a sheep." that aptly describes our present military.
There no weak soldiers but weak commanders

mumuistan,
read what you wrote.
in your analogy, who is the sheep?
the soldiers?
the problem with you j-weeds is you make plans and talk
after smoking.

One does nt need to possess the Wisdom of a SOLOMON or the Sagacity of a DANIEL to conclude that the govt may be the forces behind the recent boko haram attacks.I CAN FEEL THE HAND OF JACOB BUT HEAR THE VOICE OF ESAU:

i ve been waiting for a goodfellow to help you,to no avail. So man has got to do what man has got to do. "It is the hand of esau but the voice of jacob". Anyway,the nation is not at war, its a shame that the present administration wants to capitalize on its failure to elongate elections in the country. I must rule syndrome in the African man,later they will defend themselves that man is a political animal. There are stages that armed conflict will get to before it is termed a war,and ours hasnt got to that stage.

But very soon, they will blame themselves.

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?

The answer is simple - He know he has lower number of supporters in the North: he prefer countinuity of terrorism so that opposition parties will not get much votes.......

But dia ris God ooo!

When Gen Abacha was in power he came to Niger delta to commission NLNG and he said. You restless people of Niger delta, I don't mind if you kill yourselves but as long as oil is flowing in the pipeline.

When the Niger del tans were fighting for justice and many people were killed what did the federal government do. Was it not when yaradua realised that there won't be money to run his government he decided to distribute money to the militants and called for amnesty?

Now that we Niger deltans are in power. You people of the north if you like you can kill all yourselves as long as Jonathan government is continuous and the Niger delta that have the oil that is running Nigeria economy is in power Nigeria can remain as one.

GEJ till 2023.

Sir. It is a known secret that. Elections may not hold nex year. Remember David mark gave us inside.
We have always suspected that there is a conspiracy by top jonathanians to allow the insurgency capture territories so as to have a reason to stop the election
If not y will commanders in the field retreat without fighting allowing BH to over run territories

Secondly, if election were to be postponed in 2015, the CONSTITUTION allows that the President(Jonathan) will handover to the Senate President, who will act as President and organise the poll.

Obinoscopy:
Can you justify your statement above with the exact section of the constitution?

Can you please respond to Obinoscopy's question? Thanks

The constitution does not permit the FG to postpone any Election. The Election can only be postponed by INEC.
What the quoted section says is that the National Assembly may by resolution extend the period of four years, but no such extension shall exceed a period of six months at any one time.
Nothing about postponing election was mentioned in Section 135.

The constitution is not written in Korean, it is simple, clear and precise.

I think you missed an important point of section 135 subsection 3, i.e. 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........

So INEC does not have to postpone anything. As long as the President considers that it is not practical to hold election and the National Assembly passes the said resolution, GEJ's term can be extended for 6 months.

Though I don't think GEJ has the votes to pull this through, I don't trust the greedy bastards in NASS who are capable of doing anything for money.

If GEJ goes this route, it would be a declaration of war against Nigerians.
