Olusegun Obasanjo, Nigeria's former President who spoke at the 2nd session of the Synod held at the Cathedral Church of St.Paul’s Anglican Church, Oleh in Isoko South Local Government Area of Delta State, stated that Buhari's government strengthened Boko Haram by paying ransoms.The former President who warned that every insecurity situation in Nigeria must be taken seriously and be addressed at once without favouritism or cuddling, spoke on the topic, “Mobilizing Nigeria’s human& natural resources for national development and stability”.

Admitting that Boko Haram and herdsmen acts of violence were not treated as they should at the beginning, Obasanjo stated that Buhari's government strengthened Boko Haram by paying ransoms which they have continuously denied. He said; 

“They have both incubated and developed beyond what Nigeria can handle alone. They are now combined and internationalized with ISIS in control. It is no longer an issue of lack of education and lack of employment for our youths in Nigeria which it began as, it is now West African fulanization, African Islamization and global organized crimes of human trafficking, money laundering, drug trafficking, gun trafficking, illegal mining and regime change.

“Yet, we could have dealt with both earlier, and nip them in the bud, but Boko Haram boys were seen as rascals not requiring serious attention in administering holistic measures of stick and carrot. And when we woke up to the reality, it was turned to industry for all and sundry to supply materials and equipment that were already outdated and that were not fit for active military purpose.

“Soldiers were poorly trained for the unusual mission, poorly equipped, poorly motivated, poorly led and made to engage in propaganda rather than achieving results. Intelligence was poor and governments embarked on games of denials while paying ransoms which strengthened the insurgents and yet governments denied payments of ransoms. Today, the insecurity issue has gone beyond the wit and capacity of Nigerian Government or even West African Governments”.

That is exactly why many people still believe that this boko haram issue is a business venture. The top military officials,govt,northern traditional rulers and others have made alot of money through this boko haram venture. Many are still making it through it. I only pity innocent Nigerians who are the direct victims of this inhuman and unnatural greed.

One of the many Leaders that destroyed this Country.

No no
he only paid for the welfare of his brothers not ransom

In government terms, we call it 'un' conditional cash transfer.

Obj should know this na...lol

They, boko haram certainly become stronger after ransom payments

The herdsman above the man above me is senseless

Hypocrite Obasanjo also paid ransom to Asari Dokubo and other Niger delta militants before Yar'Adua crushed them

Bittered old man talking

In Business they say the first thing you do is to PAY YOURSELF!!!

boko haram is northern business.

Rubbish.

Not only that.

The worst thing to me was taking the Boko Haram members and making them agree that they've "repented" then retrained them and incorporated them into the Nigerian Army.

Pls if you're a Boko Haram member won't u admit being repentant? Then when they join u with the Nigrrian Army u automatically become a spy and sabotage all the efforts of the Nigerian army in the war against insurgency.

Trust me BH is getting stronger by the day. No wonder they prefer attacking military bases now.

In the first place, the pressure to "bring back our girls" was consistently and JUSTIFIABLY put on Buhari by Obasanjo's 'girlfriend' Oby Ezekwesili and her group. As a responsive president, Buhari deployed Nigerian taxpayers money to rescue Nigerian citizens from the hands of callous terrorists. So what wrong has Buhari done here?

In any case, Obasanjo never believed that any of Chibok school girls will be brought back home and he boldly trumpeted it. So I think he should eat the humble pie that Pres. Buhari did what he considered impossible.

Buhari, elrufai, mayetti Allah and some notable mothern elders are the boko haram

True.

True to some extent.

BUHARI IS THE C IN C OF BOKO HARAM.


CAN U SEE HOW THE ORGANISATION HAVE EVOLVED UNDER HIM.


BOKO HARAM IS NOW STRONGER THAN EVER, TO THE POINT THEY PAY THEIR FIGHTERS MORE THAN NIGERIA PAY ITS SOLDIERS.

Obasanjo the best wrestler Nigeria ever produced

iammo:



The General that massacred and burnt a full cummuinity in the same south south to ground for demanding their resources plundering and enviromental degradation to stop, is blaming the one who paid ransom to secure the release of innocent children.

while the people from the region whose people were massacred in cold blood are now hailing the one responsible for their woe

what hypocritism, Sentiment and short memory/ lack of history would do in nigeria heeen even Abacha would have become hero of democracy if he was alive.

Gbamest

babdap:
Bittered old man talking

The truth is indeed bitter.No wonder you cant attack the message but the messenger

Lifeless presido

Low / zero way of reasoning

Baba, make your mouth no put you for trouble o. Learn from Sanusi ordeal o. Hehen. Nobody go carry placard for you o

But wasn't it OBJ government that created Boko Haram when it legally granted them Sharia law in the North? This old baba sef, always painting others bad, always pointing fingers at everyone except himself

Hmm
