@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.

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

joseph1832:
Since he could do that one wonders why he can't stop the bombings of Nigerians in the north east, or isn't the north east part of Nigeria?.

A leader who is one sided is one sided and lack the basic tenets and capacity to carry everybody along. GEJ is a disaster already happening. A man who knows absolutely nothing about leadership, a man who is irresponsive and irresponsible to the plight of his country men.

To answer the OP's question, I believe he (GEJ) is a coward. A leader who fails to protect the very lives he swore to protect is indeed a coward!. His comments regarding the bombings proves such.

Ngwakwe:
The Core Northern States adopted Islamic law as the law of their respective States while BokoHaram wants it supremacy above the Constitution or be given a regional autonomy.

Tell us who has overcame ideological terrorism by adopting military strategy as the only solution anywhere in the world? The political solution that needs to be led by the elders of the people are being sabotaged.

BokoHaram tactics may be unpopular among the people but their demands are desirable hence the sympathy to their cause and ideology.

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'?

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

Truckpusher:
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.

Truckpusher:
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?

Truckpusher:
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 .

Truckpusher:
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.

Truckpusher:
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?[

@ OP is barack obama and all the leaders of the coalition of arab states with their Jet fighters and Kurds/iraqi soldiers on the ground cowards given that for the past 5 months they have not been able to flush out ISIS from a very tiny city called kobani in iraqi.

@Op are the Americans coward given that even after killing saddam husseni and setting up military bases in iraqi and spending billions of dollar of US taxpayers money to defend Iraqi ... Upon that tens of thousand of people have been killed and displaced, thousands of American troops killed in Iraq and Afghanistan ... Till now they have not been able to get rid of the alquedia and the taliban. These groups instead of been diminished are growing in strength and numbers. They are becoming more bolder. Infact ISIS now control close to half of Iraqi.

Before you make statements, or ask some type of questions ... try to have a deep understanding of a situation.

Boka haram is a terrorist organization like ISIS powered by an ideology with funding and support from wealthy extremists in and outside Nigeria. Even if the Military kills 50 today, a hundred more shall rise to replace them in no due time. Even if you kill their leader another shall replace him. The world thought that after the death of Bin landen Terrorism would go down and the moral of terrorist would weaken but that is far from the truth the reverse has been the case.

I would not want to completely absolve GEJ of any blame in this fight. His problem in my opinion has been his inability to carry Nigerians along in the fight and effectively communicate what he is doing to dealing with them. His inability to communicate his sympathy during the wake of the BBOG crisis was very wrong. The allegations of corruption and lack of ammunition is something that needs to be looked into that is if that is not already been looked into.

Moreover the problem of bokoharam in Nigeria is complex, First you have an army who for the past 30 years have been left to rot, both in equipment and in skilled man power by successive governments. The quality of our soldiers are no longer what it used to. They now expect GEJ to fix that over night.

Secondly you have an army and citizenry filled with saboteurs and Boko haram sympathizers. Where as you make plans for attack. They are leaked , you and your soldiers get ambushed and killed.

Thirdly you have a divided nation where the opposition would rather oppose the government in her fight against boko haram instead of contributing her own quota towards fixing this problem.

In Paris artists were killed ... In America the world trade center fell ... In Australia a hostage took over a cafe ... the recurring theme in all these events is the fact that everyone including the opposition came together united as one, in support of the government in her fight against terrorism.

But here in Nigeria we have an opposition that salivates at bad news. Instead of contributing their own quota, they would prefer to make inciting statements. Case in point is when Ihejirika was very hard on boko haram on the onset. Buhari had the guts to open his mouth and say ... "An attack against boko haram is an attack against the north" . This is the type of opposition we have. They utilize these attack to score political points, and have proceed to build their campaign around bad news, finding it joy to become willing tools in boko haram's propaganda of terror.

GEJ is no coward ... He is the first Nigerian president to face this new kind of threat. A threat that even the so called world powers with all their military advancement and funding are yet to contain. Yes he would and has made mistakes as he tries to deal with this threat. I only pray he learns from them and become more effective in the fight against them.

MizMyColi:
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

SeverusSnape:
I concur!...Just watch and see how these rubbish would stop if Buhari should win, They would no longer strike since a northerner has become the president.

Akranez:
I thought they existed under yar adua's government too. Abi yar adua no be northerner..

SeverusSnape:
They were not this violent then.

Akranez:
Yeah.. Because Yar adua didn't waste much time in tackling them murdafuckers..
Their leader was killed..

Things changed under Gej because....Hmmm
I guess he was too slow to tackle the issue..

SeverusSnape:
It was the state government that killed their leader, Not yaradua. Then, They were just a violent religious sect, They metamorphosed into a terror group when GEJ came on board, You didn't hear anything like bomb blast then, Did you?...Some people do not understand What's going on in the north, They have plenty of sympathizers just because GEJ is ruling.

Akranez:
That's because the Nigerian security agencies under Gej did little to contain the escalation of the group’s attack..

So bro..Who else can we blame??

SeverusSnape:
How did they do little?...As far as I'm concerned, Enough have been done, State of emergency have been declared, Security budget is rising. What else do want them to do?. Terrorism has become a global case, even the US is finding it hard to contain terrorism, No country have been able to completely eradicate it.

Alphaoscar:
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?

SUBMARINE:
Trash

Did OBJ defeat militants.? No


Did YarAdua/GEJ approach stopped militancy.? Yes

SUBMARINE:
At least you acknowledged that OBJ an arrogant military ex officer couldn't tame militants despite having experienced Liberia/ Sierra Leone war veterans like Gen Victor Malu

ibnakogun:
does this nonsense explain the rapidly depletion of our foreign reserves. and the near junk value of the naira.
