PapiWata:
The Boko Haram terror gang is merely the armed wing of northern Nigeria's Born-to-Rule network, whose abiding duty is to ensure that anarchy reigns whenever a NON-northern president is voted into office. The agenda of making Nigeria "ungovernable" during the regime of Jonathan Goodluck has been implemented with great success, with the result that Jonathan Goodluck has been sent packing from office.

Now that Buhari, the point-man of the Born-to-Rule folks, has been rigged into power as president, using "creative accounting" of Nigeria's voting population figures, the contract assigned to the Boko Haram terror gang has been fulfilled and completed, ensuring once again that those all-important oil drilling leases are renewed ONLY for select members of the northern Nigerian crude oil mafia in 2016, when the leases for the old drilling rights are due to expire.

With the oil fields again under exclusively norther Nigerian control, generous servings of petroleum export income will be allocated to the leadership of the Boko Haram terror gang, thus essentially keeping them on a permanent "retainer", where their foot soldiers can be re-armed and called into action the instant any southern Nigerian president is again voted into office.

Simultaneously, the justified compenasation paid by the Johathan Goodluck administration to the Niger Delta communities will be stopped the instant Buhari commences his RULE, since the Niger Delta inhabitants will be expected to assume the role of docile conquered and colonized economic slaves, whose interests must take back seat to those of the Boko Haram terror gang so loved by the northern Nigerian crude oil diverting cartel.

This is in essence the "Change" promised to Nigeria. Love it or leave it, y'all.



How did you arrive at this shallow analysis of yours. First you people claimed it was US that was using BH to drive hime their prediction of Nigeria being a failed state. Later it turned to Born to rule militia wing. When will you people remove the clog that is your eyes and see the bigger picture of how your very dear GEJ played politics till the beginning of election to seeing the need to take proper action.

Somebody comes into your house with an insect infested log and you could do is to keep pleading with him till all the insect takes over your house. That is the case of GEJ, nobody is blaming him for not acting but acting at the late hour when the food is about to be taking away from his table. Simple.

I keep saying it that a lot of Jonathan's supporters are so fvcking dull. Imagine the lame excuses some people are typing on here as replies. GEJ was commander-in-chief of a military known all over Africa for battle fierceness, tactics and several first-hand experiences at quelling insurgents, but he was playing political games and left the military to be crippled. I remember for years, Jonathan categorically said "Boko Haram was a faceless group" then all of a sudden, 6 weeks to the 2015 elections, Jonathan finally realized that Boko Haram had a face, had an address, had bases and had fighters? I hate people who bring bias into basic sense/logic. Nobody is saying fighting terror is so easy, but the truth is great leadership goes a long way in winning the fight against terror and Jonathan lacked that.

God Bless Nigeria. Amen.

He made that statement when Boko haram were fighting guerilla pattern of war, when they were throwing and setting up explosives here and there in the country before they started challenging the Nigerian security forces. So recall ur memory, and stop based on that statement to insinuate that don't want quench the insurgents .

You are incapable of remembering events based on your thoughts in print. Perhaps you have forgotten that it took Radio Biafra's effort to have Boko haram banned as the late chief innocent Odenigbo distributed his speach about Boko haram to every single senator in usa, whilst your brothers up north was busy lobbying the US senators not to.

Perhaps you also need to be reminded that your party APC was against every positive step taken to curb boko haram excesses.

You also have to be reminded that your president Buhari said openly, that any attack on boko haram is an attack on the north, he went ahead promising to make the zoo ungovernable for Good luck.

You also need to be reminded that Ihejerika did well in pushing back the activities of boko haram, rather than praises he was threaten with ICC

You also need to be reminded that the Government isnt an individual, but an institution, if you agree with definition, how do you expect a successful and decisively action against terror when 70% is working tirelessly to sabotage your effort. perhaps you have failed to understand that the North owns Nigeria and they decide what is worth.

You also need to be reminded that the same North orchestrated the kidnapping of innocent Girls just to score a cheap political gain, and the same North is working or pretending to working hard for their release, now that they have gotten what they wanted.

I advice you to reason before you put your thoughts in print, start with coming into terms that Nigeria is design to favor a particular group. Nigeria is design to fail, and its already a failed state. the zoo expired last year, and the gradual disintegration is already began.

Quite trying to fix it.

MALKOHI, Nigeria (Reuters) - Boko Haram is fracturing as shortages of weapons and fuel foment tensions between its foot soldiers and leaders, women rescued from the Islamist jihadi fighters by Nigerian troops told Reuters.

The group abducted an estimated 2,000 women and girls last year as it sought to carve out an Islamic state in the northeast of Africa’s biggest economy. The army has freed nearly 700 in the past week as it advances on Boko Haram's last stronghold in the vast Sambisa forest.

The militants began complaining to their captives about lacking guns and ammunition last month, two of the women said, and many were reduced to carrying sticks while some of their vehicles were either broken down or lacked gasoline.

A 45-year old mother of two, Aisha Abbas, who was taken from Dikwa in April, said the fighters all had guns at first but recently, only some carried them.

Even the wife of their captors' leader, Adam Bitri, openly criticized him and subsequently fled, two of the women said, with one describing Bitri as short and fat with a beard.

Of 275 freed captives brought to a government-run camp for internally displaced people in the Malkohi hamlet on the outskirts of Adamawa state capital, Yola, only 61 were over 18, and many small children hobbled around visibly malnourished.

The women said they were kept inside, occasionally brought food and sometimes beaten severely. The children were left to run around or do errands for Boko Haram while those of the fighters were trained to shoot guns.

“One evening in April, Boko Haram followers stood before us and said ‘Our leaders don’t want to give us enough fuel and guns and now the soldiers are encroaching on us in Sambisa. We will leave you.’” one of the women, 18-year old Binta Ibrahim from northern Adamawa state said.

“They threatened us but after they went we were happy and prayed the soldiers would come and save us.”

CRUSHED

The women said once the militants spotted two helicopters circling at noon on the day of their rescue, they began trying to sell the women for up to 2,000 naira (about $10) each. Towards evening, as the army approached, the captives refused to flee with Boko Haram fighters, who began stoning them but then ran away.

"We heard bullets flying around ... we lay on the floor. Some of the women were crushed (by army vehicles) and others wounded by bullets. Eighteen were killed. We counted them, they included infants," Salamatu Mohamed from the Damboa area in Borno said. The defence ministry was not immediately available for comment.

Mohamed said she gave birth while in captivity and had trouble feeding her newborn as there was not enough food.

Boko Haram seemed almost unstoppable and fast becoming a regional threat after it gained control of an area larger than Belgium last year and increased cross-border attacks on Chad, Cameroon and Niger.

Its six-year-old insurgency has killed thousands and forced 1.5 million people from their homes and the group caused a global outcry when it abducted over 200 schoolgirls from the town of Chibok.

The women said the men frequently threatened to sell them or bring them to Boko Haram’s elusive leader, Abubakar Shekau, deep in the forest. Nigeria has claimed to have killed him several times. Defence spokesman Chris Olukolade told Reuters the man was not a priority target.

Hanatu Musa, a 22-year old mother kidnapped in June from Gwoza in Borno state, quoted the fighters as saying their leader had deceived them into fighting and killing in the name of religion.

While the Nigerian army, which launched its counter-attack in January, is confident it has the group cornered in the Sambisa nature reserve, a final push to clear them from the area has been curtailed by landmines.
[size=18] None of the women interviewed had seen any of the Chibok girls, [/size] but Abbas said fighters who travelled from a camp in Sambisa where they were held to source food would describe the situation.

"They said the Chibok girls were married off this year. Some sold to slavery, then others (militants) each married two or four of the girls," Abbas said.

Whatever has a beginning surely must end, been months since we've seen the sneering face of that animal Shekau in those despicable videos, Kudos to GEJ And the much maligned Nigerian Military


Jonathan government and the Army appeared to have crushed the Boko-Haram. Great! Now Jonathan government and his Generals must ensure they produce the Chibok girls before he disappears to Otuoke. Whatever strategy you have used agaisnt Boko Haram must include to produce Chibok girls now otherwise you have achieved nothing. You cannot leave the mess for Buhari to solve.Otherwise Jonathan would be held solely responsible for the Chibok girls. You were in the office when all these girls were kidnapped while you were dancing and organising wedding ceremony in Abuja. As far as we are concerned this is an unfinished business. You have created a mess. You must produce the Chibok girls. No excuse sir. Mr Clueless. Bring our girls back. You cannot blame Buhari government for Chibok girls. A responsibility leader would not have allowed this to happen under his watch! Jonathan stop complaining that you lost election. President Clueless! We need action !
