There's something sinister about the death of the leader of the sect.
1.Is it actually true that this sect sole intention was to forcefully spread sharia and islam all over the 36 states of Nigeria even when it's glaringly clear to the very erudite Yusuf,the sect leader that certain states are entirely dominated by christian(Southeast is a good example).This does't make sense,there is something fishy about this claim,looks like the story was cooked to fit a purpose.
2.Given the qualification of the man,especially,the fact that his qualification is western in itself,it makes no sense to claim that his sect is opposed to western education in its entirety and wanted to eradicate it by all means even if it meant getting violent about it.It is one thing to point out loopholes in western styled education and belive and it's another thing to insinuate total rejection of it with consequence of violence which is the story that we are being fed with.
3.Another question we are not asking is how come this guy and some of his key followerz were arrested and released several times even after it was alleged that the police attack and some other attacks were carried out by his followers in 2008.How come they have been in existence since 1999 and no1 raised an eyebrow,it was even alleged that when intelligence report got the goverments of Bauchi and Borno,thier reactions towards squashing the sect was different.While Bauchi government was willing to curb the group,that of Borno was reluctant,i wonder why?
4.And finally,how come the Nigerian police claimed to have caught the leader only to come back later to announce his death in custody,was in a shout out while in custody or could it be that he was killed in his bid to escape or better still the authorities are cooking all these up.It beats my imagination that he was interviewed in custody by a BBC african correspendent only to be pronounced dead in a shoot out.All these do not add up at all,somebody is trying to cover his tracks and is cooking up stories.It is either this guy was killed to shut him up or he was not even killed in the first place.

Yusuf earlier arrested, freed
However, it was gathered yesterday that the leader of the sect, Mohammed Yusuf, was earlier arrested by security agencies and taken to court for prosecution but an Abuja High Court set him free.
This fact came to light at a joint press briefing by the DHQ, the Police and the SSS even as it emerged that security agencies had been aware of his group's existence sine 1995 and had made all the intelligence reports on Yusuf's activities available to the appropriate quarters without any action taken.
After his group attacked a Police station in Maiduguri in 2008 during which 17 members of his sect were killed in the encounter, Yusuf was arrested on 13th November, 2008. On the 18th November, he was handed over to the Police for prosecution.
However, the Abuja High Court Judge in his wisdom decided there was no need to detain him and subsequently let him go.
Married to four wives with 12children, Mohamed Yusuf who was born on the 29th of January, 1970, hails from Girgir village in Jalasko Local Government Area of Yobe state.
Explaining that security agencies did not fail in their duties against the backdrop that the group survived till 2009 when they unleashed their terror, the Assistant Director, Public Relations of SSS, Marilyn Ogar said "intelligence was collected on his activities and passed to the appropriate quarters".
Earlier, Director of Defence Information, Colonel Mohammed Yerima, explained how the crisis snowballed into the present ugly situation saying, "a certain group of Islamic fundamentalists, led by one Mohammed Yusuf had in the recent past been engaging in some suspicious activities with security implications. The group Boko Haram is rabidly opposed to all forms of western education and civilization.
"They consider as their primary target for attacks, law enforcement agents, critical public infrastructure and centres of worship which in their view are opposed to their doctrines. It has been ascertained that the group did not emerge just of recent.
"They have been in existence as far back as 1995 under different names such as Ahlulsunna wal'jama'ah hijra.
"Security agencies have over this period been monitoring and containing their activities even when they transmuted to other names but with the same doctrine of intolerance.
"For instance, on the 13th November, 2008, the group's leader, Mohammed Yusuf and quite a number of his followers were arrested by security operatives and were handed over to the Inspector-General of Police for prosecution.
"However, they were subsequently granted bail by an Abuja high court on the 20th January 2009. Before then in 2007, one of his ardent disciples, Al-Amin who was also the Kano state leader of the group was arrested along with some of their members after an attack on a police station in Kano. He was also handed over to the police for prosecution. Similarly, between February and April 2009, Yusuf's second-in-command named Likakam, a Nigerien, was on two occasions arrested and repatriated to his country."
18 suspected Boko Haram members nabbed in Jos
In Jos, Plateau State, the police have arrested 18 people suspected to be linked to the Boko Haram sect. One of them, Shamsudeen Salisu Nakofa, was arrested with a large quantity of yet-to-be-sewn army camouflage and other things which he claimed he was taking to Bauchi to supply to members of the fundamentalist group.
Another suspect said to be the supplier of the bales of camouflage materials was also paraded.
Parading the suspects to newsmen yesterday, the state Commissioner of Police, Mr. Gregory Anyanting, said 16 others mostly youths from Katsina state including a Ghanaian and a Nigerien were arrested in a house in Jos and were being investigated to ascertain if they had any link with the sect.
He said the arrests followed security surveillance following the outbreak of violence in Bauchi and other states assuring that the police would do all it can to maintain peace in the state.
Answering questions from newsmen, Nakofa who denied being a member of Boko Haram said he was requested to supply the materials by members of the sect in Bauchi.

The problem with this government is that it does't ve a mind of her own,most of her decisions especially towards militancy ve been greatly influenced by the Northern oligarchy.
I also see reasons with d guy that is insinuating that killing the members of the sect and thier leader was a kind of prelude to the FG's plan towardz hesitant militants in the niger delta after the expiration of the thoughtless armnesty.
Both our millitary and police forces re very inefficient,they re only good at quick fixes,they give the FG a false impression of being control of suituations only to be dazed days later.Killing the sect leader has taken the opportunity away of knowing the sponsors of this sect,both internally and externally,what if this sect is an affiliate of a terrorist group in the middle east,forget the braggadocio of our forces we all know they re not capable of serious millitary intelligence or even controlling our borders.How come the sect boasts of intellectuals,i mean according to reports,the sect leader himself is an intellectual who's vast knowlodge abt west education,there were other intellectuals there too from jobless university grads to university lecturers,what do they find appealing about the sect?It's reported that this sect has been in existence since 2003,how the FG knew about them and did nothing until after they were able to ve networks white wash more converts.But we will never know cos the FG and the northern oligarchy have made sure we never know.

Politics › Armnesty:centres Where Repentant Militants Are To Surrender Thier Arms,what A Joke! by rhymz(op): 7:49pm On Jul 29, 2009
Lagos - The Presidential Committee on Amnesty to Niger Delta Militants yesterday said it would, this weekend, disclose the various Centres where repentant militants could go to surrender their arms
Speaking at a press conference in Lagos, the Media Coordinator of the Committee, Dr Timiebi Korimapo-Agary, said the centres which had been kept secret for security reasons would be disclosed weekend to allow militants who have embraced the presidential amnesty to come forward and surrender their weapons.
Though President Umaru Musa Yar'Adua proclaimed amnesty in June, she said it will be effectively in operation on August 6 and lapse on October 6. She said the committee is using the period between the proclamation in June and August 6 when it will be effectively in operation to set up the arms collection centres and to embark on consultations.
"We have visited all the states, met with chief executives of states and we are optimistic that the process will be a success", she said.

Commenting further on the arms collection centres, she said the centres would be located close to waterfronts in some areas for accessibility by repentant militants. Speaking further she said once they submit their arms, they will then be taken in for rehabilitation.
"We are going beyond collection of arms. We have a programme of integration by way of scholarship for those with requisite qualification, empowerment for those with skills and vocational training for skills acquisition", she said.
She also said that the committee is in contact with the various militant groups and allayed fears that fake militants may exploit the window provided to find their ways into the rehabilitation centres.
Politics › Re: Whats Ur Political Ideology? by rhymz(m): 7:34pm On Jul 29, 2009
My Ideology is a mix of capitalism,socialism and communism.None of them of them should be practised to the extreme.
Until recently when the economy of the US,father of capitalism crumbled under extreme patronage of capitalist ideals and the heavy multiplier effects in most economies in western europe,everyone thought capitalism was the best system.
However,I would support 45% capitalism coz inspite of everything,ppl need to know that to reach a certain class,one has to compete.I don't support a classless society,that's my grouch with communism,it leadz to laziness which in turn affects both the quantity and quality of production.Dad usually say:"what belongs everybody belongs to nobody.My grouch with unchecked practice of capitalism is the fact that it leads to corruption,it becomz a dog eat dog affair since every1 wantz to make a huge profit at all cost,there has to be some control 4rm the government by way of rules and regulation and also certain aspect of the economy should either be solely government owned or jointly owned with the private sector,this is where I give a 35% support to communism cos this prevents total exploitation of the citizenry which is too rife with capitalism.My remaining 30% goes to socialism becoz of its ability to distribute wealth fairly better than the ruthless capitalism and the classless communism.However,socialism also ve d attendant problem of communism,lack of competion which leadz to reduction in both quality and quantity,the difference is that it's not just at state level like communism.
When it comez to social issue I am more to the right,I beliv social change should not be rapid,part of the problem the West is having is as a result of stupid views skwed towards the left,issuez like legality homosexual practice,abortion,nudist beaches and other weird social misnormer.
As for funding education,I beliv it is impossible to fund education from primary to tertiary that is not realistic,rather basic education(primary and secondary) should be free or almost free but tertiary can't be free,it should be a combination of student bursaries,scholaships and the likes to deserving students.
Health also should be heavily subsidize but not totally free coz that too is almost impossible.
For system of Government especially as it concerns Nigeria,i strongly beliv in regionalism that way there is strong competion to develope without necessarily depending on any region.
Politics › Re: 150 Now Killed In Co-ordinated Attacks In Northern Nigeria by rhymz(m): 6:11pm On Jul 27, 2009
Bauchi - Bauchi, the capital city of Bauchi State, was awash with bloodbath early morning yesterday as scores of religious fundamentalists were killed after a failed attack on a police station.
Official estimates put the death toll at 32, but the figure is not less than 150, according to correspondents who said they counted the bodies.
A group called "Boko Haram" ("education is sin"wink, which has been campaigning for the imposition of Sharia'h (Islamic law) on the 36 states of the Nigerian federation, was said to have sparked off the crisis when its members launched an attack on the station.
Reuters news agency quoted a member of the group, who was wounded during the initial attack on the station, as saying the group wanted to "clean the (Nigerian) system which is polluted by western education and uphold Sharia'h all over the country".
"The police has (have) been arresting our leaders; that is why we decided to retaliate," said the man, who gave his name only as Abdullah, according to the news agency.
Meanwhile, the state Governor, Mallam Isa Yuguda, has described the fundamentalists as militants, urging Nigerians to see it as a national issue.
Daily Trust
Arrested Sect Members in Bauchi, Nigeria.
"Their plan is to attack everybody," he said, while announcing a curfew from 9pm to 6am. "Governors should brace up and clean their states of this rubbish."
THISDAY gathered that the sect struck around the Federal Low-cost Housing Estate and Dutsen Tanshi areas in the early hours of yesterday.
They were said to be reacting to the refusal of the Bauchi State government to allow a free atmosphere to publicly practise their religion as well as win more souls to the sect.
The newspaper learnt that members of the sect had been planning a demonstration in Bauchi for a long time now but were not given the chance because of the fear by government that their doctrine, if allowed to be preached publicly, could cause a religious crisis.
Their teachings are regarded as completely out of tune with the teachings of other Islamic sects, especially regarding peaceful co-existence.
The sect members, in their hundreds, trooped to the Dutsen Tanshi Police Station in the early hours of the day and attacked it, chasing away the few policemen on duty and forcing themselves into the station before destroying anything they could lay their hands on.
But they could not break into the armoury which was under lock and key.
After a distress call by the policemen to the Command headquarters, a reinforcement of armed policemen, including men from the mobile unit, was drafted to the area to ward off the fundamentalists during which some of them were killed and several others injured.
The Bauchi State Police Command, through the PPRO, Mohammed Barau, confirmed the incident, saying more policemen had been drafted to the area to maintain order and security.
He said other security measures had been taken to ensure that the crisis did not spread beyond the area, adding that as soon as the state command got clearance from the Police Headquarters in Abuja, it would officially make a pronouncement.
As at the time of this report, the combined military and police patrol teams had gone round the villages in Bauchi to fish out some of the fundamentalists who had escaped from their Bauchi base.
In his reaction, Minister of Police Affairs, Ibrahim Yakubu Lame, declared that the Inspector General of Police (IG), Mr. Ogbonnaya Onovo, had been ordered to ensure peace and security of lives and properties of citizens across the country.
He said inasmuch as the government was committed to freedom of religion, it would not condone any fundamentalist who would bring about breakdown of law and order in the country.
Though the Director of Press Affairs to the Governor, Mohammed Maigari Khanna, and other top government functionaries were seen at the Police Command Headquarters, they refused to make any comment on the development, but promised that as soon as the situation was properly studied, government would make its position known.
The Nigerian Taliban, according to an AFP report, made its debut in 2004 when it set up a base - dubbed Afghanistan - in Kanamma village in northern Yobe State, on the border with Niger, from where it attacked police outposts and killed police officers.
Its membership is mainly drawn from university dropouts.
Religious clashes between Muslims and Christians in Bauchi State led to the death of five people in February.

The problem is not Ohakim,it is the polity of our system.Our politicians ve these faulty beliv that with PDP they don't ve to contest based on thier suitability & capability cos the party merchinary is the strongest.
Now another angle i will like us to look at our political structure is the absence of any strong and viable opposition which parades vetran politicianz with moderate acceptance.An opposition party which will not make dsame mistake other mushroom political parties re making,opposition whose policies re based on issues affecting d ordinary nigerian,an opposition party whose pre-requisite for membership is strict and sacrosanct,an opposition party that has vetran intellectuals formulating thier policies,they must try hard to educate the general public abt thier rights through sponsorz of politically based programmez,that way d masses see and know d ideology of the party,where they stand on issues like resource control,method of funding education,Health,the type economic model they think will work for nigeria,an opposition party whose method for selecting candidates will be totally free and fair,a party that it's constituent members will be a true reflection of d nigerian ppl.A party that can pool huge resources from legitimate means to fund it's project.
A party that wont allow itself to be used just as platform for capturing public office alone.
The fact is,ppl vote both party and personality.A formidable party with d right candidate will do d trick for Nigeria.

@agitator,What U think they achieved or did't achieve is a matter of opinion,they re not saintz but to say they did't achieve anything meanz U don't ve a grasp of what is actually going on in the Niger Delta and d polity of dis country at large.Anyway U like to see it,Duke,Odili and Victor Attah understandz the problem of thier ppl and re better qualified to handle the problem of dat region.U see my friend northerners hate it when niger deltanz lay claim to these oil well,incase U don't know the northernerz re in for this one nigeria joke becoz of d oil,if this oil should run dry,U will be surprise that even d norths will clamor for secession.Why do U think they ve maintained dominance in d military and power?They see the Southeast as too independently minded and so cant be trusted,and the South south to them are stubborn ungratefulz who wont accept d crumbz frm d centre and want all,however,they see d Southwest as very dependent friend who will alwayz be loyal to them even if they re given power.So the way to tame the SE and The SS is to systematically dominate the military,politicz and leave d control of d economy in d handz of d forever loyal SW.Thatz why,if U check d trend of Federal government development,there's more emphasy on the SW and the north.
The fact is tribalism can't be erased in dis country,what we can only do is to manage it to our own benefit and d only way we can do it is thru regional development,resource control, power delegation to d states and lez power concentration on d central government.

At poster,thank U very much for posting diz article,I was going to post it myself yestaday but i ve not had any chance to do so.
If U check d history of diz country,U will observe that most of d problem we ve had in dis country has been caused by the overbearing attitude & belligerence of the northern oligarchy with the complicity of our brothers in the southwest that like to play politics of convinience by giving them impetus through thier unflinching tacit support.One would ve thought that the likes of Obj would ve learnt a great lesson from d june12 saga,giving the complicity of d northern generalz in the annulment of Abiola's victory in that election and d eventual death to avenge Abacha's death.But what did he do when he had the chance to do so,he played dsame politicz of convinience which is typical of yoruba politicians(i mean no disrespect but dis is my own view),i mean this man had the opportunity to choose 4rm south-south leaderz like donald duke,peter odili,obong victor attah who could solve d problem of d niger-delta region,but he rather chose to force an unwilling northerner on Nigerianz who has no idea of d problems in dat region and sees their agitation for control as an insult by a minority who re lucky to ve oil in thier backyard to a majority who re dependent on it.
Until the yoruba race realise that politics of sitting on d fence and later giving tacit support to d north will only benefit the aristocrats in the north they will continue to complicate issues and groups like MEND,MASSOB etc will continue to see them as double-faced politicians who re secretely backing d North and still crying foul.The problem of the Niger-delta region can only be solved by a concensus resolve by leaderz of d whole of South to force FG and the Northern oligarchies to accept resource control and delegate power to the states.But this can't be achieved when a part of d south is always looking for an easy exit to d problemz.

As for immortalizin Abiola that's a misplacement of priority.In the first place what did he do that was so significant?Abiola did't do the voting,Nigerians did,the election was free and fair becoz IBB(who was his partner in crime allowed it),so what exactly makez him a mandela here abeg,sentiments aside,i lov ojukwu but i will be d first person to shout down any move to immortalize him,he is a hero to the igbo ppl not Nigeria likewise Abiola,he was a hero to d yorubas not to ppl that did't vote him,may be some ppl did't know dat a majority of his vote came from SW,middle belt,some part of d SS,divided in d North and almost nothing 4rm d SE so how then is he a hero to evry1 to warrant a concensus in d house of rep,dis is a man who said he did't need igbo vote to win,what kind of a national leader or hero make that kind of a tribalist statement,it was part of his undoing,he was more of a politician than a leader,there's no basis for comparison,Abiola is no where leaderz like Mandela,Abiola was a tribalist through and through.And mind U,majority of d rep memberz dat stopped that Stupid Bill was from d north,and there were even yorubas that opposed d stupid move.So dat stupid kid dat is wagging his mouth should shut d Bleep up.June 12 is not Abiola alone and d dude did't die for nigerianz as most pple beliv,he died for his selfish desirez.Abiola was to Nigeria then what Dangote is to Nigeria now,they play high wired politicz to better thier profitz,when they engage in any philantropy it alwayz has politicz written all over it,lobby in form of philantropy.So abeg make we talk another thing,I don't even know why this should make it to the house of rep,nigeria has very important issues begging for attention why this rubbish,misplacement of priority.

In fact nigeria's daily production per day is 800,000 to be precise.The way the north has put a strangle hold on d Weak FG head,they will cause a disintergration sooner than expected.Lately,there ve been a mad rush to want to dominate evry controlling aspect of resources,from Oil to d Economy to d millitary to even power,I mean,we dont need a soothsayer to tell us dat d ppl of d North re insecure abt the future of d weird union called Nigeria,they fear dat d clamor for autonomy by different region,group,tribe etc re increasingly becoming too real & might succeed soon unless they do sth abt it thus d open display of dier brazen belligerence,besides they re counting on d support of d SW to continue dier domination,datz why if U notice d trend of development it has alwayz been either in d north or in d SW,they can't afford an independently minded SE who still want out or a stubborn SS Who ve seen through dier parasitic tendencies and also want out.Time will tell if my analysis of d polity of dis country is ok.

The sad thing with ppl in d south is dat evry one is singing a different tune.I don't mean to offend any tribe or region both d sad truth of d matter is dat d southwest re so deep in playing politicz of convinience dat they ve become so blind to d belligerence and maneuvering of d North.When d offensive waz going on in gbaramatu,it was like there was a tacit consensus not to giv priority to d issues both on radio & TV stationz,d print media did little more than d otherz but in general they acted unconcerned.A lot of my southwest friendz realy pissed me off with d way they were supporting d onslaught,honestly,thier reasons where valid but it waz't enuf to support a senseless millitary action against a ppl,militancy or no militancy.D truth is d Southsouth re realizing a little too late dat the Northernerz re into dis "one Nigeria" phrase for d benefit of d oil wealth.It was only d igbos who saw d fault in d sick amalgamation & wanted to get out but for d help of d SS & d complicity of d SW,dey would ve seceeded

I ve a post in Nairaland where I cried Foul to the injustice that was going on in the Niger Delta,Gbaramatu in Delta state to be precise I shall dig it up and post it on dis thread U will be surprise at d responses I got.
The fact is Yaradua is a lame-duck,he has no control of things,he does't even make his own decisionz.When d stupid JTF started dier dumb offensive,I warned dat the only ppl dat d JTF will catch and victimize re d innocent women and childrien,i knew they were going to end up complicating issues.The Nigerian millitary is a sad tail,d generalz can act independtly without orderz 4rm d president and it was on dat same faulty way of doing thingz dat waged a full scale war on a community without any solid millitary intelligence report,just guess work and started bombing people's home at random in d name of fishing out millitants they even attempted to take it to neighboring states and some stupid northern group even propose to yaradua to do so.I was just watching,i knew it would come to dis.

@amarilo,i completly disagree with U,yes we re practising federalism and not regionalism but even in d constitution it is enshrined that federal appointments must be a reflection of all federating states and dat'z exactly my point.U can't practise dat policy when it suits Ur purpose which waz exactly what Yaradua did,he removed a person who was doing quite well,yes he had some issues but they pale in comparison to his achievement.But because d Northern oligarchy & d so-called Northern People's Front had a score to settle with him,they mounted pressure on yaramumu who succumbed & den chose a northerner to protect thier interest without regards to d effect dat will have on our financial system and d upset it will cause d so-called federal character which they ve so judiciously used to dominate d national ass,house of rep,ministerial positionz and so on,until hitherto.They now want to hide under d guise of competence as if Sanusi is d most competent nigerian to get d job.Niggaz plssss,

first,they uncannily throw all caution to d wind and succeeded in mounting pressure on d docile & ambivalent Yaradua to appoint a northerner as d CBN governor which goes against d grain of d so-called federal character even though we already had two northernerz heading d very sensitive departments of our economy.I mean,it's lyk d northern oligarchy is d FG & not yaradua,they alwayz seem to get what they want.Haba!!!
