Agreed Northern Nigeria needs education but not the GEJ type of PhD which is only on paper and may even be responsible for setting Nigeria back to 1967 and even worse since the coming of the clueless president.
Back to 67? Hmm! interesting.

While you're chasing GEJ, your homeland is burning.

At any rate, I do not think the core north understands there's no solution in Abuja. Abuja is not where problems in a multi-ethnic country are solved, it's where ever decreasing revenue is shared. The north must understand this reality and stop thinking their almajiri, terror, extreme Islam, illiteracy, and multiple wives problem is Nigeria's problem. Chasing the president like a kid who ate a stolen candy while the whole of core is collapsing is a waste of irrecoverable precious time. If the north had put in half the time they used in chasing power and GEJ since 2011 they, perhaps, would have reduced the alarming number of illiterate, almajiri, and terror inclined youths in that region.

Today our oil revenue is falling, tomorrow we might collapse into multiple unfriendly nations. What will be the fate of the core north when the inevitable happens? North's over dependence on Abuja for everything is going to be its greatest undoing when their former comrades they love to hate disappear from the radar. Look at what Ogun state is doing currently - that state is trying to stand on her two feet before the coming doom sets in. Yesterday I stated that Anambra and Abia should up their game and go even futher than Ogun state - that's how a people survive.

The north must know that every region is alone, hence must learn to walk and survive alone. If anyone is in doubt as to the degree of loneliness and lack of empathy that currently exists in Nigeria, the last national conference is a good start. In the conference we saw how other regions wanted to get in on the money meant to rehabilitate the terror ravaged north east - this should tell the north that the Nigeria that fed them belly-full for the last 45 years is gone. Even though the proponents of the 'terror allowance' had questionable motives, the outcome of that debate was a clear indication that in this country, in this supposedly 'one nation,' you are on your own.

I hope the north gets this message before it's too late.

if elections were not in early 2015 state of emergency would had been ok 4 these north senators, but due 2 d coming elections, nigerian soldiers suddenly becomes capable of anything, state of emergency is not ok again. i bet with my ten fingers dats y d leader of house of rep, was teargassed. maybe he was about 2 vote against it. Nigerians dont allow urselfs 2 be manipulated by politicians.

As long as the northern elders believe power belongs to them and brainwash the youths with religion, there will be no peace. Let them agree to allow jonathan another 4yrs while they shop for a better candidate for 2019. The. 80% of violence in the north will end. They people will walk in peace with one voice and the insurgents will have no place among them.

But as long as they have the born to rule mentality and produce old bitter politicians who call for blood when they loose. They will be no peace in the north.

When you call for blood after elections, those same youth will need to maintain their thirst for blood.

FG should remove the state of emergency instead it should declare war on boko haram by so doing no senator would dare stand against war on boko haram to prevent being called a boko haram sponsor. The FG would then have full licence to chase out boko haram no matter how long it takes instead of 6monthly targets

I am happy the President still recognizes Tambuwal as the speaker.

As for the emergency rule extension,I hope something is achieved this time around. 2015 is around the corner.
Don't be myopic in your thinking. The office of the speak is more than Tumbuwal. The letter must have been addressed to the office of the speaker without mentioning a name or be addressed to the house of rep without mentioning a name. Letters are written like that.

The problem is that the clueless president still controls the military, so to say that Abuja cannot offer security to citizen even when terrorists are forcefully taking over Nigeria's land and declaring New nations. This is the extreme of irresponsibility for the so called President.

The least he should do is to send our boys in the military and police back to us so that we can use them to defend ourselves.

Now he holds our boys and withholds weapons for the military to use. We are reduced it using hunters and vigilantes to free our population while the army take to their heels at any sight or sound of Boko Haram. Are you a leaner? Can't you see the gross tyranny and injustice by this" I don't give a damn" president?

Tell him to send all Northern soldiers and police back.

The emergency rule formerly imposed didn't achieve anything worthwhile.So why impose another one?
If it failed yesterday,it could work today. Or are you suggesting that Buhari who failed thrice shouldn't try again?

Sai buhari 2015#kick out cluelessness
Well the fact is that those from that part of the country have spoken, its left for the house to consider thier views.
Who in his or her right senses would love to move around in such a restive environment? Who would want to transact any form of business or move his or her goods in or out of such environment? I don't think any sensible and life loving person would love to take such a deadly risk. I guess another option is for president GEJ to remove the democratic structures and appoint military administrators in those areas to allow for a full scale military onslaught against the sect without extending the emergency rule. Anyway, I could remember before the emergency rule, that the bombing was virtually everywhere in the north until the military was able to contain that in those three states. So if the some people believes that the emergency rule has not worked, its thier own view, they should suggest the best way of solving the problem rather than kicking against it out rightly.

Re: Northern Senators Kick Against Emergency Rule by Litmus: 8:04pm On Nov 20, 2014
I'm sorry to suggests that maybe Nigerians are abusing democracy and maybe don't deserve it. The lives of the ordinary people in the NE is paramount and it is the duty of the Military if all else fail to safeguard their lives - as best as they are able. Those governors are Alright-Jack, they move around surrounded by military escort, the ordinary people are not so fortunate. Frankly the tart response that the Military have not saved their lives isn't good enough. I expect that by most application of logic,that thought is defeated by the relative point that a damn sight more lives might have been lost without the Army's "limited" interventions so far. I don't know what power the Military poses in the Constitution but they should kick those governors out of office. They are disgraceful..

I wonder why Jonathan didn't declare a full state of emergency in those state.
I dont think there is any where in our constitution that says full or half state of emergency, Obasanjo was abusing his presidential powers by removing duely elected governors.

Please use your brain now. Who is benefiting from the unrest if not PDP. Do u think Jonathan wouldn't expose those involved if they are not in PDP
Re: Northern Senators Kick Against Emergency Rule by babestella: 10:34pm On Nov 20, 2014
Those calling for the removal of the state of emergency as just doing that so as to rubbish the personality of the president. If they know what terrorism is all about, they will even call for total state of emergency. The destruction we have today in the north east despite the state of emergency will be child's play compared to not having a state of emergency. I think Mr. President should relax the state of emergency, the same northerners will later run to ABUJA to accuse Mr. President of insensitivity. Humans are desperately wicked, ungrateful, and selfish. Time shall tell.

In the interest of the innocents citizens of the NE, a total state of emergency is needed and a full scale war declared against BH.

I'm in full support of the northern senators since the local vigilante are more proactive in dealing with the insurgent than the federal troops. Since the state of emergency have nt provide the desire result we have 2 do away wit it and install our local vigilante since we are safe on dia hands. Goodluck take away ur troops from the street of Borno, Yobe and Adamawa we will protect our selve. Useless government.

On a side note...

The north is just decimating its population. Me thinks it has always been a grand plan to diminish the political strength of the north. Right now, their political strength is in Abuja, but that is weak
