Peace in the north is not possible as long as Islam is the ideology of the masses.
But the major problem is that they know this truth but they will never agree with you,
there is no way a soldier from the south will fight there successfully with out the cooperation of the masses but the masses see them as infidel

Nigerians are always impatient always looking for quick fix to things they never gather fact their reactions to issues are always immature .

I pray one day that we would analyse situations before jumping to conclusions

It's better to have a meticulous and detailed president than a careless president
PMB Will end terrorism and later all of us Will Start singing praise when we never trusted in process

In our various places of work have we really turned things around

I'd have preferred u said this in person. Issues concerning the lives of the citizenry isn't what you should be represented on. Following the shooting of 9 worshippers in a South Carolina church, Obama was there in person to address the families of the victims.
Down here news of death is fast becoming a norm compounded by the fact that our useless politicians especially from the jan. jaweed party for too long used the lives of Nigerians to score cheap political points.

Lol. You just described APC people over the last 5 years.

Well, in those places, the lives of all citizens actually matter. Here, only the lives of the elite matter. If family members of the elite were among the dead so far, he'd be on tv to talk about it.

But come oh, throughout GMB's campaign, he said more in Chatham House in London than he said in all his nationwide rallies. Why do you now expect an eloquent display of empathy for boko victims, families & friends?

Reasonable points, lastpage. While it's true that the Government needs time to solve the myriads of problems in our society, I'm wondering why military actions against the dreadful sect appear to have plummeted. You know, at the inception of this administration, one would have thought the intensity of the military actions would be heightened, since the President is a retired general, any reason for this negative development from your end?

Buhari & APC always opposed military action agaist Boko. Buhari campaigned for amnesty. He said that Yar'Adua flew creek militants in aeroplane for discussion, why should GEJ bomb Boko & demolish their hideouts? If you don't konw this, then you have not been following Buhari over the past five years. People can try to gloss over it as they want. All are still there to read.

He's doing underground negotiation with terrorists. All those gallivanting in Chad & Niger were for that purpose. The release of Boko detainees is an appeasement effort.

He's hoping on Boko ceasefire hence the latest "end of Boko is in sight" yarn. In sight how? By not firing a single shot while Boko is bombing everywhere??

Buhari will only reluctantly fight Boko if they demand too much or flatly refuse a peace deal.

When we said all this will happen months back, they said we were Tanoids.

PMB has spoken, I truly have deep faith in you. with time they shall b crushed to the last man. in sha Allah.

yes, dey v reached their elastic limit

At this time, there's need for serious prayers! FG should declare one-day holiday especially before the end of this fasting for Nigerians both muslims and christians to pray seriously for the end of insurgences.
I believe, if all of us @ the same time pray hard in conjunction with security personnel intensify their efforts. God will eradicate insurgences in Nigeria just @ soonest time.

And so shall it be... Weldone mr President!

Untill sharia is enshrined through out nigeria( buhari) then boko haram will lay down there arms.

I know all that.
I'm still undecided about the issue of negotiating with the BH terrorists and granting them Amnesty. Even if that were to be the solution, on what terms will FG negotiate, given the fact BH are not making any reasonable demands? BH sect is a terrorist/ideological group; this case is starkly different from the one of Niger Delta militants, hence Amnesty was a reasonable way to go about the former.

The way and manner the Presidency /APC is treating this insurgency issue is kind of mysterious, the citizenry are in the dark. I just hope and pray this carnage by Boko Haram comes to an end in no distant time.

God help Nigeria.

(APC) played on the minds of our ignorant masses using their various biases to ensnare them in an ambiguous trance, misinformed themby identifying issues which were mostly exponential purviews of the actual events and gave them someone to hate for it.

Your post is long and full of sensible points; it appears already you have lost faith in the President, I'm not sure you believed in him at the outset. I am neither an APC nor a PDP supporter, I only support good governance and vote for politicians on that basis only.

During campaigns, before elections, I also wanted the ex-president to be defeated in the polls, not because I believed in the mantra of change by APC, but due to the fact I was very fed up with the corruption and cluelessness of Mr. Jonathan's administration. Then, going through the various promises made by Buhari, I just felt any politician could make them because he didn't stress how he would achieve them; some are even outrageously unrealistic :like the one of #1=$1. So because of the foregoing, I didn't support and vote for Buhari. However, I still wanted PDP to lose the presidential elections ; I wanted Nigeria politics to be devoid of monopolistic influence.

Furthermore, after PDP's sixteen years of misrule, I wanted those politicians to know that we now have other options, albeit not better ones, but we can vote out any party that is underforming in governance. So in this connection, and as could be seen in the presidential polls, power belongs to the people.

Now that President Buhari is at the helm of affairs, we can only wish him a very successful tenure; because we, the citizenry are at the receiving end. It's too early to lose hope and conclude this tenure will be a failure. I strongly hope Buhari tackles the problem of corruption in government institutions, so that the next general elections will be freer and fairer than the recent ones.

Dullardee, let it happen first b4 u talk

Amin!

olalat:
Let respond to u cos u sound intellectually reasonable. Frm my own point of veiw, the security did not relax, those pple just change their tactics wc is expected. If u notice, after 2/11, d alqeeda deployed antrax, sending it through percel, it worked a bit b4 solution was found to it. After, they deviced plane bombg, succide bombing etc. If u notice, BH are incapable of wagging gorilla war again, d reason for d suicide. They shall be conquared im sure of that. Dont expect them not to fight back man.

It's true BH insurgents have changed their tactics. It's just that we don't hear news of successful offensive and defensive actions by NAF like we used to toward the end Jonathan's tenure. There was good news yesterday though.

Nigeria is in a big mess with the level of stewpidity of our Youths.... and even some not so young people!
Anger and Hatred has overtaken their sense of reasoning.!!

*38days... and you want a new President to have overcome an insurgency that has lasted over six years? Are you all drunk of cow urine?

*Military option has not worked in the last six years (just like it did not work for Niger delta militants and amnesty was proffered), yet when he suggested a "Plan B" of discussing peace with the bandits, you all started to criticize him?

*He replaced military check-points with Police so that he can free the military to fight the war and you'all started saying he allowed Boko access and freedom! Are u all that daft?

*He moved some of the less dangerous prisoners to Anambra but out of tribal sentiments, you all could not see that concentrating those prisoners in one place means it is easier for BH to mount "one operation" to free them and they have more operatives to carry out suicide bombing? Dont you people have a brain to use at all?

*Once somebody like FFK whom we all know is a senseless Dog says something that is against Buhari, you all applaud him, just to prove that a senseless, "enemy of your enemy" like FFK.... is your friend! Is that all you can do?

* You all pretend like you dont know that our Security forces have a tendency to arrest "anyone in sight" even when it is obvious that the real criminals are long gone. So, you dont expect those whose innocent kids are arrested in place of B-haram terrorists to speak up and demand their release? Agreed there are "fanatics" amongst Muslims, especially in the north but that does not make all of them fanatics or B-haram sponsors. Or are you telling me everyone in the NDelta is a militant or every Ibo person a Kidnapper and Drug pusher?

*You think making this war on Boko haram a case of "Jonathan/PDP Supporters" versus "Buhari/APC Supporters" will get you anywhere? Just wait until the bombing reaches your backyard before you know that we all need to put our heads together and offer useful suggestions to the President, to tackle the problem.

*None of you brainless Eediots are even sensible enough to ask yourself "How did this Boko problem start"...so you can map out a way forward. All you are concerned about is how to bring down a democratically elected Govt simply because the President is not from your tribe. Silly Bigots!

FFK may have scored some cheap points among people whom he knows have little capacity for reasoning but he is doing it for selfish reasons otherwise, if he is patriot, he would offer SOLUTIONS for solving the problem rather than just this "playing to the gallery" so that he can become relevant...... though just among Ibos anyway.

And let me add: Ministers are just "Political Appointees" whose job is just to convey the instructions of the President, to the Head of Ministries they oversee. The people who do the real work in a Ministry are the Permanent Secretaries. They are "permanent' as their name suggests and are career civil servants. Ministers cost us a lot of money with little benefit.

If Buhari thinks for now, going by the amount of rot in the system, that it is better to allow the career civil servants to oversee the rot and recover their Ministries, why not let us allow him to try-out this method for sometime, instead of wailing and mocking like pigs?
It is Ministers that really loot the Ministries as we all know because they just "come and go" being Political appointees,.... unlike career civil servants who have their "career and pension" to worry about

Buhari as l see it, is trying out something new, these needs time to show result. There is always "the Storm" before "the calm", which is what we are experiencing now but all these little kids with free MTN Data should shut their mouth and let us hear word.

'Governance' is not for babies and imbeciles! Let us leave it for an experienced General, a former Head of State who is also a graduate of the Prestigious American War College.

You must surely know more than GEJ and the last administration on this as they found no link between PMB and BH.

Even though I supported Mr Jonathan while he was President I wasn't always happy with his government's routine practice of bla bla bla on BH.
Mr. Buhari is towing that line and if things continue this way, am afraid this might just be a dummy government.

u see it's like u're just waking up. Even d apc leaders n buhari himself played politics wit ppl's life to d horror of we d well meaning nigerians. I haven't heard pdp celebrate bomb blast except their online supporters, who witnessed apc's wickedness in playing politics wit ppl's lives, n are bent on paying dem back wit destructive criticism, which I still term wicked.

Actions speak louder than words Mr President. Get Abubakar Shekau, his sponsors and his boys and you will go down in history as one of the greats.

Fighting terrorism is like fight gorilla war, where you don't know your real enemy. It's definitely going to take handsome time for the effect of good work of PMB to be seen on ground, but I strongly have convention that my frantic efforts during his campaign will bring positive results as highly anticipated. Though my hope on him has becoming dashed Nevertheless I still don't regret my action and I pray God give him the knowledge and wisdom to deliver his campaign promises and provide viable solution to the problem currently threatening our sovereignty.

GMB has always said that both are similar. If that was pure mischief as an opposition leader, it was a reckless one. Like many people of their faith, Boko's ideology is not actually wrong because Uthman dan Fodio came with a ragtag band of soldiers to overcome peaceful Hausa Kingdoms.
He won and established a caliphate/Sultanate and installed sidekicks and relatives as emirs all over Northern Nigeria. If he had lost, history would have remembered as a common rebel and villain without a cause. So nobody should underestimate Boko. They have people in high places, and collaborators/sympathisers within the army and ruling elite.

Perhaps that's why he's reluctant to tackle the insurgents militarily, disappointedly he might have a soft spot for his fellow northerners who are terrorists.

Their ideology is entirely wrong and very unislamic, the BH militants are misguided souls who twist the verses of the Holy Qur'an to achieve their dubious and evil aim. It's known by almost everybody that Muslims -I'm also one- do not fight or engage in hot arguments during the Fasting period, but these so-called hypocrites have chosen the holy Month to intensify their efforts in destroying human lives and properties.

Even when going to wars is justifiable, in Islam, there are strict rules to be followed.
