Count down to the day when Nigerians will choose the president they will serve for another four years. Vote reasonably, vote your conscience, politicians are almost as the same only a few of them are better.

Can it be stated then that some northerners are satisfied with boko haram offensive against Nigerians if reactions here is anything to give serious thought?

http://www.thisdaylive.com/articles/buhari-military-offensive-against-boko-haram-anti-north/149256/

People should understand and strike out the difference between motive of militants of the South and agenda of the terrorists in the North. One is trying to seek redress to issues of exploitation in the land and suffering of their people without adequate provision to reduce their sufferings and give them sense of belonging to wealth of their land whereas boko haram is trying to sack the government of the day and destroy the constituted authority in order to institute their own system of government which is by terror.

I don't believe Nigerian banks could be ranked that low by dignity of their banking environment and facilities. Maybe those banks are microfinance in Sambisa.

playcharles:
I feel so sorry and pity for vibrant Nigerian youth on Nairaland, when they create misunderstanding between each other with the Buhari and Jonathan issue, how do you expect a confused president to lead a country, and how can a aspiring presidential candidate lead a country when he is been funded by corrupt politicians. Jonathan is not moving us to the promise land, Buhari will fail whole fully if he tries to, I weep for my country simply because our youth can't take the responsibility of a future leader! Oh Nigeria I cry for thee... We want change and that change is revolution, not the miserable PDP and APC corrupt mongers change or continuity.

I pray there will be change , but not change by making noises that wouldn't change anything but ensure corrupt politicians always manage to secure posts and remain in power. MOST APC GOVERNORSHIP CANDIDATES IN THE NORTH ARE THOSE WHO CROSSED FROM PDP. APC WILL JUST BE LIKE PDP SPELLED BACKWARD. MAY GOD DELIVER US FROM PERPETUAL DECEIVERS.

PEOPLE JUST NEED TO VOTE THEIR CONSCIENCE AS WE ARE PREPARING TO CHOOSE BTW TWO RIVALS OF THE SAME MINDSETS, though with seemly different agendas

Just like ebola, boko haram will be totally eradicated in Nigeria

Boko haram came, fought and disappeared with history. God bless the gallant soldiers. Boko haram fighters will never again find rest. Anywhere, anytime they appear they will disappear instantly like smoke, no space and peace for the wicked.

2 Chronicles 15: 12-13
"They entered into a covenant to seek the Lord, the God of their fathers, with all their heart and soul; and everyone who would not seek the Lord, the God of Israel, was to be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman"


Deutronomy 17: 12
"Anyone arrogant enough to reject the verdict of the judge or of the priest who represents the LORD your God must be put to death. Such evil must be purged from Israel"


Exodus 22:19
"Whoever sacrifices to any god, except the Lord alone, shall be doomed"


Deutronomy 13: 13-19
"Suppose you hear in one of the towns the LORD your God is giving you that some worthless rabble among you have led their fellow citizens astray by encouraging them to worship foreign gods. In such cases, you must examine the facts carefully. If you find it is true and can prove that such a detestable act has occurred among you, you must attack that town and completely destroy all its inhabitants, as well as all the livestock. Then you must pile all the plunder in the middle of the street and burn it. Put the entire town to the torch as a burnt offering to the LORD your God. That town must remain a ruin forever; it may never be rebuilt. Keep none of the plunder that has been set apart for destruction. Then the LORD will turn from his fierce anger and be merciful to you. He will have compassion on you and make you a great nation, just as he solemnly promised your ancestors. "The LORD your God will be merciful only if you obey him and keep all the commands I am giving you today, doing what is pleasing to him."


Deutronomy 13: 7-12
"If your own full brother, or your son or daughter, or your beloved wife, or you intimate friend, entices you secretly to serve other gods, whom you and your fathers have not known, gods of any other nations, near at hand or far away, from one end of the earth to the other: do not yield to him or listen to him, nor look with pity upon him, to spare or shield him, but kill him. Your hand shall be the first raised to slay him; the rest of the people shall join in with you. You shall stone him to death, because he sought to lead you astray from the Lord, your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, that place of slavery. And all Israel, hearing of this, shall fear and never do such evil as this in your midst"

Deutronomy 17: 2-5
"Suppose a man or woman among you, in one of your towns that the LORD your God is giving you, has done evil in the sight of the LORD your God and has violated the covenant by serving other gods or by worshiping the sun, the moon, or any of the forces of heaven, which I have strictly forbidden. When you hear about it, investigate the matter thoroughly. If it is true that this detestable thing has been done in Israel, then that man or woman must be taken to the gates of the town and stoned to death"

Deutronomy 20:10-14
10When you march up to attack a city, make its people an offer of peace. 11If they accept and open their gates, all the people in it shall be subject to forced labor and shall work for you. 12If they refuse to make peace and they engage you in battle, lay siege to that city. 13When the Lord your God delivers it into your hand, put to the sword all the men in it. 14As for the women, the children, the livestock and everything else in the city, you may take these as plunder for yourselves. And you may use the plunder the Lord your God gives you from your enemies.

Hosea 13:16
The people of Samaria must bear their guilt, because they have rebelled against their God. They will fall by the sword; their little ones will be dashed to the ground, their pregnant women ripped open."


BIBLE ALSO SANCTIONS RAPE

Numbers 15-18
15“Have you allowed all the women to live?” he asked them. 16“They were the ones who followed Balaam’s advice and enticed the Israelites to be unfaithful to the Lord in the Peor incident, so that a plague struck the Lord’s people. 17Now kill all the boys. And kill every woman who has slept with a man, 18but save for yourselves every girl who has never slept with a man"


Isiah 13:16
"Their children will be smashed to death before their eyes; their houses will be looted, and their wives raped"


Zechariah 14:2
I will gather all the nations to Jerusalem to fight against it; the city will be captured, the houses ransacked, and the women raped. Half of the city will go into exile, but the rest of the people will not be taken from the city.

In conclusion, you can't claim that we should ignore them because it's the Old Testament, Jesus sanctioned all those brutal laws in many bible verses, two of them are below...

"Do not think that I [Jesus] have come to abolish the Law (the Old Testament) or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law (the Old Testament) until everything is accomplished" (Matthew 5:17-18)

"Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword" (Matthew 10:34)

See yourself you can't even read with understanding. YOU JUST SHOT YOURSELF IN THE FOOT. For as long as you decide to read Bible in part that suits your selfish interests you will never see the light of the message and discover all you need to love God with all your heart, love others as you love yourself, possess clean heart that will love to do good without wishing anyone any evil, and for salvation of your soul. Many people like you will just pick verses of old testament which you think can give permission to your violence and encourage wickedness. SORRY, YOU MISSED IT ALL. YOU AND OTHERS LIKE YOU WILL NOT LIKE TO REPENT, INSTEAD YOU ARE SATISFIED WITH LIVING IN THE PAST- And you will think your excuses are genuine in ignorance. BIBLE HAS ALREADY WARNED PEOPLE LIKE YOU TO LEARN OF GOD WITH BETTER UNDERSTANDING... IT'S PEOPLE LIKE YOU BIBLE STATES, THEY ARE PERISHING FOR LACK OF KNOWLEDGE.

Take time to read full message of Christ with deep thought and understanding in it's direct form. The message is very clear. Study the whole chapter which goes thus:
Matthew 5 New International Version (NIV)

Introduction to the Sermon on the Mount
5 Now when Jesus saw the crowds, he went up on a mountainside and sat down. His disciples came to him, 2 and he began to teach them.

The Beatitudes
He said:

3 “Blessed are the poor in spirit,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
4 Blessed are those who mourn,
for they will be comforted.
5 Blessed are the meek,
for they will inherit the earth.
6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
for they will be filled.
7 Blessed are the merciful,
for they will be shown mercy.
8 Blessed are the pure in heart,
for they will see God.
9 Blessed are the peacemakers,
for they will be called children of God.
10 Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
11 “Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. 12 Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

Salt and Light
13 “You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot.

14 “You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. 16 In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.

The Fulfillment of the Law
17 “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. 18 For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished. 19 Therefore anyone who sets aside one of the least of these commands and teaches others accordingly will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. 20 For I tell you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the Pharisees and the teachers of the law, you will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven.

Murder
21 “You have heard that it was said to the people long ago, ‘You shall not murder,[a] and anyone who murders will be subject to judgment.’ 22 But I tell you that anyone who is angry with a brother or sister[b][c] will be subject to judgment. Again, anyone who says to a brother or sister, ‘Raca,’[d] is answerable to the court. And anyone who says, ‘You fool!’ will be in danger of the fire of hell.

23 “Therefore, if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother or sister has something against you, 24 leave your gift there in front of the altar. First go and be reconciled to them; then come and offer your gift.

25 “Settle matters quickly with your adversary who is taking you to court. Do it while you are still together on the way, or your adversary may hand you over to the judge, and the judge may hand you over to the officer, and you may be thrown into prison. 26 Truly I tell you, you will not get out until you have paid the last penny.

Adultery
27 “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’[e] 28 But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart. 29 If your right eye causes you to stumble, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell. 30 And if your right hand causes you to stumble, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to go into hell.

Divorce
31 “It has been said, ‘Anyone who divorces his wife must give her a certificate of divorce.’[f] 32 But I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, makes her the victim of adultery, and anyone who marries a divorced woman commits adultery.

Oaths
33 “Again, you have heard that it was said to the people long ago, ‘Do not break your oath, but fulfill to the Lord the vows you have made.’ 34 But I tell you, do not swear an oath at all: either by heaven, for it is God’s throne; 35 or by the earth, for it is his footstool; or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the Great King. 36 And do not swear by your head, for you cannot make even one hair white or black. 37 All you need to say is simply ‘Yes’ or ‘No’; anything beyond this comes from the evil one.[g]

Eye for Eye
38 “You have heard that it was said, ‘Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.’[h] 39 But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also. 40 And if anyone wants to sue you and take your shirt, hand over your coat as well. 41 If anyone forces you to go one mile, go with them two miles. 42 Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you.

Love for Enemies
43 “You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor[i] and hate your enemy.’ 44 But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 45 that you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. 46 If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that? 47 And if you greet only your own people, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that? 48 Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.

You also quoted Jesus as saying he did not come to destroy the law but to fulfil it even the least part of the law. Do you know the law and understand Biblical principles abou it? Where in the Bible can you get it, and can you be so knowledgeable to observe every bit of law and live a perfect life based on it? No. That's reason Jesus summarized the law and came up with what you have to do to please God and escape punishment of breaking His commandment.

Read: Matthew 22
The Greatest Commandment
34 Hearing that Jesus had silenced the Sadducees, the Pharisees got together. 35 One of them, an expert in the law, tested him with this question: 36 “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?”

37 Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’[c] 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’[d] 40 All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”

With Gov Amaechi as the campaign
manager for General Buhari, He will try to

attacks and fight in the state also confirm
that .

Both PDP and APC really count on
Lagosians votes to guarantee the victory
in the forthcoming elections. APC has the
likes of Tinubu, Osinbajo, Ambode and
supports of top celebrities like Olamide,
Donjazzy, Dammy Krane . APC will do all
things possible to win the state.
PDP on the other side has successfully
win the Nollywood to it’s side, The party
is now in full control of the OPC .
Obanikoro will try to justify his
appointment as Minister.
APC also accuse Goodluck of distributing
dollars to Lagosians

We know for sure that Oyo elections are going to be very tough. Non of the contestants can boast of Chances of winning so easily while they relax. From morning till evening, even late in the night these politicians are always playing their game. None of them has full confidence of winning. I just wonder how they still manage to do the campaign; they have spent so much while the same supporters always patronize them all demanding for more packages.

Joyful77:
May Allah bless you! Christians are the worst terrorists ever!! They seize every single opportunity to criticize Muslims, yet they blab that their religion teaches love. For where They say Muslims should speak out against terrorism and when this happens, they still pile up insults on Muslims. They claim that the Quran has verses that instructs killing but they ignore the fact that the bible is full of kill and r.ape verses. Even a verse commands to smash children to pieces! Christian bigotry is unlimited!!

You reveal the ignorance in you about the meaning of Christianity. You know nothing about who Christ is and the purpose of his message. If you want to learn about God, Christ, Christian religion and the message of grace for the whole world follow me to learn from the Bible on Sundays.

@ medamillion.... Your write up is wrong and misleading, it shows your ignorance about Christianity. Quote where in the Bible Christ's words/messages support or promote violence and killing. Then your argument can be reasonable

Good to denounce terrorists, they are agents of Satan doomed for hell.

You have no point

Time for Nigerians to think and stop blaming the government always on global events esp those that affect economic situation and $/N exchange rates which the country can't influence and make it favourable presently. Scarcity of dollar will increase it's value against Naira and other weaker currencies and make importers to experience difficult times, with serious complaints as if government is no longer in control. THE BEST THING TO DO IS TO BEGIN THE PROCESS THAT WILL INCREASE THE VALUE OF NAIRA AND MAKE IT WHAT OTHER COUNTRIES WILL DEMAND FOR TO SETTLE PAYMENTS JUST LIKE DOLLARS.

TIME TO THINK LESS OF BUYING FROM OUTSIDE BUT TO ENCOURAGE AND PROMOTE HOME MADE GOODS AND GET THEM EXPORTED. HAD IT BEEN WE HAVE MUCH TO EXPORT AND LESS TO IMPORT MANY OF US COULD PROBABLY HAVE GREATER CHANCE OF BECOMING MILLIONAIRE WITHIN FEW MONTHS Dollar claims its abnormal high against other currencies.

Nice one OP

saintandsinnerz:
So Op you just posted a single picture of a whole university just to score a cheap political point abi? Do you know what you are? A big idiiot without any sense of what education is all about. Even if that is the only structure in that school, the major point is that it has provided education for those who hitherto may not have opportunity of university education. If at all you are reasonable, you should have known that as a new university, they will probably lack some infrastructure in the short run or do you believe that the UNNs and the Unilags of this world became what they are on a day? Really this is the dumbest thread I have come across in Nairaland and the mod that brought this to front page should be sanctioned!

Lashes to the OP, I think he is get-rich-quick type. He probably doesn't know many renowned Universities today started from humble beginning, structural infrastructures and other amenities were either sub standard or inadequate, but today they have risen to fame. Much can't be expected from temporary site structures, which are just needed to begin with in order not to waste time. The first graduates of such University may even come up with records difficult to beat when nicest facilities are fully on ground. I can understand he is just showing that to discredit the founder and incite negative utterances.

What some identify as the best, others are claiming that such is the worst. One man's food another man's poison.

How do I say well done to the best performing governor over there in his local dialect?

Ok

And not to fight corruption from 1999 to 2011 if given the chance, an attempt to deliberately exempt certain politicians while others will be implicated. FIGHTING CORRUPTION INDEED! They think everyone is a mumu as they are.

FIRE ON THE MOUNTAIN

The southern Christians in the northern parts of Nigeria have had enough of this buffoonery in the wicked hands of their Muslim brothers. Nigeria fought a civil war caused by some disgruntled army officers from the south between 1967-70. Gowon declared the war no victors no vanquished, but clandestinely the Christian south was marginalized socio- economically, politically, academically and so on. Since 1970 till date, the Christian south has not known any peace. North being the sadist is always nursing repugnance to the people of the south. This ushered in north and south schism.

The colonial master, Britain, out of her personal aggrandizement amalgamated north and south in the year 1914.These were different entities, with their cultural, ethnic and linguistic set up. Nigeria got her independence from Britain 52 years ago, out of which 37 years were ruled with iron fist through the barrels of the guns, of the military, predominantly from the Muslim north that formed the back bone of the army. The rest of the years were handled by the Muslim civilian presidents also from the north.

Olusegun Obasanjo who was part of the military aberrations 1976-79 as head of state and later civilian president through dubious means 1999-2008, was remote controlled from the north. The northern oligarchy was holding the country at ransome for years.

The effect of the war is still visible in the east because the war was fought in their lands and they are seen as the main culprits. State security apparatus was used to suppress their people. Because of the economic quagmire as a result of the war; most of them migrated to the north and outside Nigerian shores in search of greener pastures. There in the north they are being massacred for no just cause. Their properties confiscated or destroyed illegally. In the face of all these atrocities, the legitimate authorities did nothing to protect them.

What we are seeing now from Boko Haram started in the 1980s when a radical, violent and lethal sect from Muslim north in the former Borno state capital Maiduguri, known as Maitesine emerged from the blues with their doctrines at hand. To drive their points home when nobody was ready to listen to them, they started fighting and killing their fellow Muslim brothers. As that was not enough, they extended their turpitude to the Christians with wanton destructions of their properties. The name Maitesine was so dreadful to some degree that at some quarters where the rumor is making round, no one will venture out from the house. Later he was apprehended and killed, his followers dispersed and disappeared into the thin air. Some years later, Muslim youths started attacking Christians viciously in the same north, also for no just reason, telling them to go back to the south or the east. Some even said go back to your country, which epitomizes 2-3 nations joined as one.

It was so bad to the alarming point that Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu of blessed memory, embarked on a journey of condolence to Kano in 1991, where he urged and told the easterners to stand firm and fight back. He advised them to stop running away because this is one Nigeria which belongs to all of us. The great man was right because “if peace cannot be maintained by man`s mere personal influence, the only alternative is the use of force,” stipulated by a great thinker. One school of thought said also that in the time of crisis to be law abiding is illegal.

Believe you me, people of the world, this is why a group known as massob( Movement for the actualization of the sovereign state of Biafra) appeared from their conclave agitating for the total freedom of their people on the platform of peace, for they have had enough of the persecution, marginalization and isolation. “Truth, however bitter, can be accepted, and woven into a design for living “, the words of Dame Agatha Christie.

There is a privy move to discredit the government of Goodluck Jonathan, a Christian from the south, after all, a powerful politician from the north once said prior to Jonathan`s ascendancy to the throne, that they will make his government ungovernable, for they see the office of the presidency as their birthright. And remember that the north started rioting immediately he emerged as the winner of the presidential poll. The intention; to frustrate, the remaining polls.

Former military ruler, Muhammadu Buhari, who is popular in the north, denied instigating the sad, unfortunate and totally unwarranted events that took place.

How could one justify and quantify the onslaught, mayhem and wickedness on the Christians in the north by Boko Haram? Aljazeera international cable news on the 22nd June 2012, Professor Buba Misawa from Jefferson College Washington DC in USA, said Boko Haram was driven by grind poverty, unemployment and other social ills bedeviled the society. Buba has forgotten that the north was at the helm of affairs of Nigeria state, for many years. So the blame is now shifted down to the southern Christians who have to bear the brunt. On the other hand, Alhaji Garba Sani, the head of the Nigerian Muslim forum, UK, supported, by saying that all boils down to social injustice in the north. This is pure fallacy, mendacity and ridiculous. An adage says that a millipede that was stepped upon did not make any noise or cry rather the person who stepped upon it, raised an alarm by jumping up and down. If you are talking of social injustice visit south, particularly east, you will see the monster with your two naked eyes.

Niger delta militant group took up arms because of what we are talking about,” A man who has committed a mistake and do not correct it, is committing another mistake “beautiful statement from Confucius. The north had committed terrible mistakes to the Nigerian political life, for so long, without telling the populace the truth. When a nation is under political stalemate, it adversely affects the economy and other facets of the country`s well-being. We are sick and tired of their cock and bull stories.

Buba Misawa also said that there is a serious attempt to destroy the northern society. Some elements of truth are been hidden here. Please Prof expatiate this statement to the fullest. Between 1986-7, the late Mohammadu Gumi, the Sheikh Musulumi of Nigeria then, once said that instead of Christian president, the nation will disintegrate. That means a Christian south will never rule Nigeria. Two months later he fell terribly sick and was rushed to overseas for treatment where he passed on.

The revered archbishop of Lagos, Cardinal Olubumi Okogie once gave the Muslims stern warning about the killings of the Christians in the name of religious upheaval. That if they want to set the country ablaze, Christians are ready. He also intoned that the country does not belong to them only. The former leader of Libya, Muammar Gaddafi, who died gruesomely last year October, while commiserating with the victims of religious riot in the north in March 2010, said that religious uprising is the main factor that will split Nigeria. David Mark, the senate president denied that fact by telling the national house of assembly and the people of the world that nobody should waste his valuable time listening to that mad man. He refuted by saying that it was land dispute between two communities. Mark was part of the military that ruined the country as Fela Anikulakpo Kuti, the afro music maestro, said when he was alive. David Mark, one time telecommunications minister as a colonel said that telephone was not meant for the poor.

The Boko Haram has more serious agenda not yet disclosed. It is not only Islamization of the nation neither the western influence nor having sharia laws all over the country as they claimed. I believe firmly that there are more secret issues, only time shall tell.

Boko Haram, Maitesine and religious uprising with their nefarious activities is the continuation of Ibo massacres of 1966 in the north, where more than 130,000 lives of the Ibo men, women and children were ruthlessly terminated by the joint teams of northern soldiers and civilians. The distinguished and powerful British author, Fredrick Forsyth calls it pogrom of genocidal proportions.

Now the big question is who are the godfathers of these hoodlums? Our people normally say that there is no smoke without fire. I`m not militant by nature, but just articulating and unfolding the naked truth buried under the carpet.

Finally, the great Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) as it was known then split into about fifteen republics without a bullet fired, therefore if Nigeria will follow suit there is nothing wrong, just for peace to rein. Nigeria does not belong to the Muslims only as stated above by the honorable archbishop of Lagos. Any one campaigning for sharia laws all over the secular nation is absolutely lunatic.

“Okpoko” is a very huge bird that makes a lot of noise while flying. A sage says that any cricket killed by Okpoko, was deaf. My Christian brothers in the northern parts of the country, does it mean that you have not heard or seen the fire on the mountain? When a tree hears it`s felling and yet stands in the same position, but when a human being hears such a rumor, he picks up race, wise saying of our elders. A word is enough for the wise.

This your submission makes sense and contains lots of truth

With due respect sir,I have some questions for u. I heard the insurgency actually started during your tenure sir or even as an elderly statesman, kindly tell us how u nipped it in d bud that got it escalated to this level? Secondly,how did you know that boko haram have legitimate grievances,are u one of the sponsors sir? Finally, if boko haram have legitimate grievances, what do we call that of their victims and every nigerian whose life have been adversely affected by d menace caused by the ins urgency?

I wonder why Obj has been going up and down trying to twist story we all know. Abi he wants to cover evil of boko haram and make it something that never happened? Obj should stop playing our intelligence because he wants to be friend of notable enemies of progress and good people of Nigeria. We can't be surprised, His recent drama goes beyond what we could give ordinary meaning. Pa Obj will never stop to amaze us. Last time it was tearing/renouncing what made him president for 8 years on which he still sought for extension, now it was praising boko haram for all they have done. Haba! Baba.

He claims that boko haram exists because they are not educated. Who made them illiterates? Why are they destroying schools built for them, including alimajiri shools being built by Jonathan? He said they are marginalized, is it the Jonathan government that has marginalized them since 1960? That they keep reacting to presently.
