OP you are also a coward ...Where were you when the north was shouting genocide when Ihejirika was dealing with this demon?..can't you people read the hand writing on the wall for God's sake?..Nigeria is full of educated idiooots that can't think with their brain ..if you eat belle full, you come here and ask useless question

Thanks for your input

barcanista:
It is not about cowardice, it is about competence. Mr. President is incompetent and a weakling to be CnC. He isn't the first Nigerian President to fight insurgency but he is the first to fail woefully. Shehu Shagari faced Maitatsine, he even had relative success. Buhari inherited Maitatsine, he crushed the group. Maitatsine resurrected under Babangida, he buried the group. Obasanjo faced some Taliban sympathisers in Yobe, he destroyed them within 2 weeks. Yaradua faced Bh, he destroyed them within 10 days. Only for BH to reappear under GEJ and started growing from strength to strength. Over 23000 Nigerians have been killed with over 500 in captivity, yet Mr. Clueless is blabbing. GEJ suck..

Using the power given to you to put anything that crossses your path down is the real show of cowardice and so far this is what GEJ has refused to do despite provocations that has been emanating from some quarters of this country before and after 2011 elections.There are many factors that has limited this fight against boko haram and this very problem is what the people of that region need to sort it out else all govt's effort Will become a futile one.

Do you think that the Nigerian army would have stopped Niger Delta militancy if the Niger Delta people had supported the militancy ?
The problem in the North has a face and the northern elites are very much aware of it, but since it has given them a platform to discredit a performing President they will never stop it because power must return to the North at all cost.

waow!
23,000 (is this verifiable?)

Political sides apart. Isn't there a way for both sides to come together, speak and act against this group in one voice?

This is not me being a politician now, an issue that affects us collectively ought to be faced as such.

Have you considered that GEJ might be handicapped or playing to the tune of some unseen powerful political forces who might be making untold gains in whichever manner from this bloody mess?

But then again, I'm left to wonder if the CIC is clean, if he were, I wonder why this has been allowed to escalate this much.

If he's clean, why doesn't he take down all those that ought to be taken down, why not?!

And to think Obasanjo arrived at his daughter's weeding even before GEJ himself and greeted him so heartily when he arrived leaves even much more to be wondered; I mean considering the recent verbal attacks made on his government, one'd expect that their paths never cross again, yet, there they were

SUBMARINE:
Trash

Did OBJ defeat militants.? No


Did YarAdua/GEJ approach stopped militancy.? Yes

Obiagelli:
A president that plays victim is a bladdy coward. My opinion

barcanista:
Unlike Boko Haram, Militants didn't go about killing and bombing innocent Nigerians. They only kidnap hostages and blow-up oil facilities. Even at that, President Yaradua stopped them with carrot and stick approach. Under Yaradua the militants were holistically being rehabilitated, under Jonathan they are given full access and even do the job of the navy. Jonathan is a failure in every respect

MizMyColi:
But sir, you can't compare the menace of the ogoni people to this BH mess.

This is not about region.
He is commander in Chief.

He is regionless, he's supposed to have an omnipresence of sorts.

This is a massive bottleneck, imo

Buhari faults clampdown on Boko Haram members
June 2, 2013

Former Head of State and Presidential candidate of the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC), Major General Muhammadu Buhari has faulted the federal government’s clampdown on Boko Haram Islamic insurgents.
He accused the government of killing and destroying their houses while the Niger Delta militants were given special treatment by the government.

Buhari who spoke on Sunday on a Liberty Radio programme, Guest of the Week monitored in Kaduna also admitted that the road to the registration of the All Progressive Congress (APC) was rough, pointing out that the promoters of the party were well prepared for any hitch that may arise.

MizMyColi:
I'm neither here to attack nor be e-attacked.

This is my first thread on this section.


My question has become even more justified following the recent spate of genocidal killings in Baga, Borno state.

Clearly, both sides of the political divide aren't as concerned due to the forth coming general elections.

But here are two of my blog readers' take on the issue:-

I still believe the current Boko-haram are working for GEJ and his cliques. Their mission is to reduce the voting strenght of the northern establishment and scare the remain people away from the polling centers.



If the activity of the group is not favourable to GEJ, he would have tackle them and bring an end to all this trash. Imagine this happening in Bayelsa and you think he won't av act decisively?

chibwike:
No...he is just unfortunate

UjSizzle:
Well, I'm not one to dabble in political matters at all, but since you asked, I don't trust GEJ. I don't trust Buhari either.
I understand the country is looking for change, but are we really going to sacrifice our votes for this? Two people from not so different pots using a country to play fvcking chess?!

Honestly if INEC hadn't chosen to disenfranchise me, I'd cast my vote for an obscure party with an obscure candidate.

I'm not interested in debating who's a better evil than the other. If we don't want evil then for godsake go out and get rid of them both.

Two third majority from all 36 states, right? We keep acting like there's no third option.

goofyone:
This doesn't in any way justify the loss of lives continually suffered in that part of the country. Jonathan owes it a duty to the country to use the power assigned to him to crush Boko Haram. That's what a president does. It's not enough to sit around hoping that the region will fix itself because it has issues peculiar to it. That's not what a smart man does.

Clearly, incompetence is the driver here. He's at loss as to what to do. Hence his inability to effect desired changes.

MizMyColi:
@Dre11

This is Nigeria.

Corruption has so eaten into our moral and human fabric as a nation.

Maybe we should cut the man some slack in this area of insurgency.

Why, again I ask, was GMB so concerned about the welfare of them BH agents being massacred instead of those they killed.

[s] Why did he say he'd make this country ungovernable? That's a bottleneck on Buhari's part, imo. [/s]

Ngwakwe:
Goodluck Jonathan systematically tackled the impending catastrophe and bloodshed that would've engulfed Nigeria on the declaration of Independence by Ogoni people in South-South Nigeria.

No army movement.

No bloodshed

No publicity

A true leader who understands his region

Truckpusher:
A power assigned to him with too many pitfalls and drag nets waiting for him to slip up a little and they will immediately call it a 'FALL'?

Look here my friend ,Nigeria's politics is very complex to be looked upon from one angle and make your conclusions.

I hope that you are aware that one wrong political decision in this Boko Haram issue will set this country ablaze for the next forty years.

If Jonathan goes all the way out to nail boko haram ,the ensuing violence that would claim civilian lives that were never innocent would be great and the same North won't hesitate in referring his case to the ICC for violation of human right and genocide and you think that the Niger Delta people will fold their hands and keep quiet after all the things that Abacha did in Ogoniland ,Obasanjo in Odi and the militarisation of the Niger Delta for more than 20yrs by the Hausa/Fulani led successive military Government just to ensure that the oil flows undisturbed?

Any Nigerian leader would have be careful not call the bluff of any other region especially when we have this negative division between Christian South and the Moslem North .

The Northern Islamaofascist Oligarchs and the feudal lords of the North should talk to their people to lay down their arms and embrace a democratic secular Nigeria where freedom of religion and expression is guaranteed.

If every region decides to bear arms because we all do have our genuine grievances ,would you still have a country to call Nigeria and a President to blame for the destruction caused by some Islamic fundamentalists with a twisted ideology who has the backing of their people consciously and unconsciously while they keep committing havoc?
