So what ?

If you think its wrong , go to BH and collect back the money

grow sense

€2million is enough to buy arms and wage a brutal and effective war against the Nigerian government. What we clearly lack in Nigeria is the good leadership.
It's always best if a country never negotiate and give in to terrorist. They will always use the same method.
People should get ready for a renewed onslaught from the terrorist.

Our govt failed us in terms of defense structure implementation, no job creation even though we see youths wiith crazy inovationS everyday! Our leaders have failed us!!

Brother did u read that article at all or you just read the headline and paste it? My friend no nation negotiate with terrorists in a matter like this

All nations negotiate with terrorists. They say otherwise because they know that immature, naive sheep will believe the lie that they never negotiate with terrorists. The Americans did so with the Iranian terrorists under Reagan and have done so consistently since. The French have been known to negotiate with terrorists. Likewise the British.


We Should Negotiate With Terrorists. We Always Have.
Who started “We don’t negotiate with terrorists”? The president who did just that more than any other. Let’s stop this reactionary nonsense.

Every president since has said we don’t negotiate with terrorists. And every president has. And I would say prudently and reasonably so. When terrorists can give you information, for a certain price or because you have a shared enemy, take it. George W. Bush paid a ransom of $300,000 to a radical Islamist group in the Philippines that was holding two American missionaries, a married couple, captive. To get them to safety? I say, fine. Alas, however, the man was killed, even after we paid the money. So an American president ended up financing terrorist operations and overseeing a failed military mission.

[quote author=bishopkay post=56698827]2million euros. ..you see why crime would always be lucrative in Nigeria? You leave the graduate jobless and hopeless while you compensate the renegades and criminals for being bold enough to take up arms.

Had it been GEJ who did this, Sahara reporters, the nation newspaper, punch, APC media office ET Al would have turned analysts now on how the money would be chanelled back to fight us,. How GEJ is clueless, how GEJ was paying off his boys etc. But as its buhari, everything is fine. WHAT REALLY CHANGED? I MEAN OUR LEVEL OF DOUBLE STANDARDS IN THIS COUNTRY IS ALARMING!

don't forget he could have also negotiated with them, paid them off and take the easy way out but he didn't. I leave us all to our consciences though. [/quote
Youve spoken well

And you wonder how boko boiz get money for their nefarious activities

ColonelDrake:
Abokis just empowered their fellow abokis with money gotten from the South. I pity gullible southerners especially our Yoruba Muslim brothers who are against anything restructuring. I pity foolish southerners in the senate who have refused to move a motion for restructuring. I pity mumu SStherners. Your oil is being used to develop the parasitic north and distributed among abokis. I pity the gullible yoruba (mumu Christians) who think one Nigeria is ordained from God because thier pastors have asked you to pray against everything that will disintegrate this cesspit. Revenue from our port is being used to secure the release of the chibok girls, clean up the mess created byt the North in the North, and also go into the development of the parasitic north. I pity myself because i don't know why god dumped me into the shit hole called Nigeria.


Imagine, the numbers of world class hospitals, research centers and massive infrastructures this money would have built

Southerners - the greatest mumu of the 21st century

Most countries negotiate with terrorists and many pay ransoms.

The French certainly do. The Americans have. The British do to. The all lie about it at the time but they do it and the truth usually comes out years later.

It's a tool of last resort but it happens all the time.

Interesting. Can you give us a clear instance where the american, French or the British government negotiated with terrorists? Am not talking of negotiation on a personal or individual basis but as a government?

Very very shameful....

Boleyndynasty2:
If true, FG is now sponsoring Boko Haram . The only country in the world that negotiates with terrorist, even funding their gang. Soon Herdsmen would be settled too

Buhari and his gang have been settling Fulani terrorists long before now

PointZerom:



Would you have said this under GEJ?.

The president doesn't change the facts. All nations negotiate with terrorists and hostage takes.

They say otherwise because the average voter is a simpleton who needs dogma to make themselves feel better.

Just Just imagine. 2milkiin euros plus prisoners. Which government negotiates with terrorists ? GEJ could hv done the same but he didn't.

Iranian hostage crisis. One of the best known.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran_hostage_crisis_negotiations

There are several others but I won't be doing your homework for you. The internet is a great resource, a simple search will show that I'm right and that this childish belief that governments don't negotiate with terrorists to be stupid.

Mind when you reading imagination and assumptions articles. That article lacks merit my brother. First, if possible there was chibok girls, no Country negotiate to release non diplomate civilians.. Paying that huge amount of money to release those girls is funding cashless terrorists to equip to kidnap more. What bad is bad. Never should we negotiate with terrorists!

All this Nairalander sef. You can all express your grievances here but who cares. All of you are just running your mouth like tap water. Meanwhile the same set of people calling for Nigeria to disintegrate will be the first set of people to run for their lives if all the trouble start. Bunch of hypocrites.

Boleyndynasty2:
If true, FG is now sponsoring Boko Haram . The only country in the world that negotiates with terrorist, even funding their gang. Soon Herdsmen would be settled too . Gave em money to buy more arms, kidnap more girls, feed em fat. This is so twisted on a lot of levels

Another toddler hiding behind a tecno phone to write rubbish!
Tell daddy to school you how American govt and Obama negotiated with terrorists in the middle east to free just one American soldier! If daddy does not know, google can help

godunia:
The lives of those girls worth more than that amount. Life is priceless, people will go to any length to discredit this effort made by government. The country had more money under Jonathan, how many girls gained freedom despite the money handed over to Boko Haram? What matters to me is that the girls are free. When you are a parent, you will understand the plight of the parents of these girls, if your child was kidnapped and you have the money to pay ransom, won't you no matter the cost? Meanwhile that report is rubbish, read it well

Look at it this way;

You gave them €2m + their arrested commanders and they gave you 82 kidnapped girls. You take your girls to rehab. center, they use their money to buy more arms and kill over 1000 of your people.

Can't you see that the govnt is at lost. They should have at least poisoned those Boko members b4 handling them over.

FagsamPHP:
And they said Jonathan must not negotiate with terrorists... Shame on APC & Buhari, no wonder the country is struggling & moving backward than ever.... Thanks to the hitherto unprecedented propaganda in the history of Nigeria. Shame on all those who voted this change...

The propaganda was/is Legendary. And a combination of high poverty level and poor education system, made sure the people bought that shii hook, line and sinker.

Dead "country"

From my lay man point of view,do u realise that money can be used to finance terrorist attacks and the release of the five prisoners is most likely to be the reason behind the most recent bomb threat which can lead to scores of deaths.Why are we always like this,been sentimental and playing politics with everything?I weep for my country

Why does the article lack merit?

Every nation attempts dialogue with terrorists. Especially when they take hostages. It's usually the safest means of return.

You, like most, are very naive when it comes to this matter and this is what happens when people repeat dogmatic slogans such as "we don't negotiate with hostage takes/terrorists". Only a child would believe such.

Thank you brother ask him. He keep bringing article written based on people assumptions

I am afraid of this country. I pray the money would not be used to fight Nigerians back.

DollarAngel:
Nigeria can never develop, grow as long as we don't share the same vision and dream, Nigeria can never develop with the North in it.

Harsh truth

I am now a terrorist

Adult, so your point is that cause America negotiated with terrorist then we should give our whole 2017 and maybe 2018 budget to BH?

If any of the news of the degradation of the BH torroist by Nigerian Armies and Buhari's media was any correct, then this piece of news here is totally uncalled for.

The negotiated terms showed that BH had the upper hands and the FG was on the back foot.
1.BH had to select which prisoners to release
2. What number to release and which to release.

This gets me worried as we have just bolden the terrorist and we should expect more recklessness on the part of this government buying electoral campaign promises.

Nigeria Or Gov't? I am not understan

Nobody is naive here only that you failed to understand that you arguing without concrete facts. Those articles u bringing was written based on what someone thinks. I repeat, no nation negotiate with terrorists to release civilians that isn't diplomat. If u like continue arguing am done with you.

If true then too bad, exchange of prisoners was bad enough then millions of pounds is so unbelievable.

Very likely the money was just chopped
