Birth of A monster
Mohamed Yusuf is widely accepted to be the original leader of the proscribed militant Islamic group commonly referred to as Boko Haram.
What most of you are not aware of is the original composition of Yusuf's inner circle which were drawn not from the vast population of poor ignorant masses in the north but from very educated young men of privileged background.
What most of you also are not aware of is that the radicalization of these young men did not begin with Yusuf or in some rundown Madrasah that dots northern Nigeria but in lecture halls in universities across northern Nigeria. They came to Yusuf because they could identify with his own very radical message.
The group gots it's nick name Boko Haram for its opposition of western styled education and mainly because the group was composed of young privileged and highly educated young men who turned their back on the world preferring a return to classical medieval Islamic society. Public destruction of certificates was done to woo more young men into their fold.
The group unsurprisingly continued to enjoy wide spread support among young northerners because of the energetic, vibrant and new perspective they offered. Within a short time, the group started to draw negative critism fom the old established clerics who not only frowned about their radical views but saw their own popularity wane in the midst of younger Muslims who preferred what Yusuf had to offer.
This critism will lead to both false and truthful allegations by the clerics to the authorities on the extent of the radicalization Yusuf was offering the youth. The security apparatus then swung in to investigate the activities of Yusuf and his group and severally he was "invited" to the police station to clarify issues. This only made Yusuf more popular among the youth and gave him an air of fighting the established order. The north was witnessing its first ever revolutionary character.
Yusuf sensing the new twist to his personality and movement will capitalize on his new found fame and status by pumping up the rhetoric even further. This is when the crooked politicians got to notice this young charismatic man. His popularity they (politicians) thought, could be used to their advantage and before long Yusuf added another feather to his influence and ego. With Politicians patronizing Yusuf and soliciting for his support base, things were bound to get to his head.
Here was this young man of humble background and limited education surrounded by children of the elite and the poor masses at his beck and call now getting visits from prominent local, state, regional and national political figures.
Before long the politicians began to use Yusuf's supporters to carry out violent attacks on their opponents for a fee paid to Yusuf off course.
This only made Yusuf more notorious with the security agents. But anytime he or any of his members were picked up both their highly placed political associates and the influential relatives of his Lieutenants swung into action to spring him out of custody.
Before long Yusuf built an air of impunity for himself and his members since they were always let go Scott free after any of their violent skirmishes within Borno. It didn't take long for concerned individuals to petition the DSS about Yusuf and before long he was picked up during the second tenure of Obasanjo and was held for a long period by the DSS. This was the time Yusuf met Asari in detention.
But eventually, Yusuf was released back into society and his aura had taken up legendary status.
This is a man that even the federal government could not convict.
From here on, grand delusions of grandeur began to set in and Yusuf thought he had everything at is disposal to take out the Nigerian state.
We thus, cannot exclude the influences of Yusuf's inner circle and their connections to the corridor of power in our polity in incubating the monster boko haram.
This goes to show that the Boko Haram insurgency has its roots in the northern oligarchy.
Abdulmutalab is a good example of how a young privileged and educated northern youth can become radicalized.
This is were the maitassine movement differs completely with that of Boko Haram.
The maitassine movement was drawn from the poor dredges of northern Nigeria. The maitassine movement was effectively dealt with because the northern oligarchy saw it as a revolutionary movement ( which it was) challenging their authority and dominance and as such this was why the group was completely isolated and summarily destroyed.
The case with Boko Haram is different as the group is intertwined with the northern oligarchy.

Na who born ds dog

Na wa oh... When Will some youth wakes up from their dream n come to reality? When will they stop this madness of shouting vote buhari? My problem now is that it is this same youth that their teachers told them that they will be leaders of tomorrow n the were all happy, n now they are shouting. Vote buhari for president 2015, it is this same teachers who taught them this things are the same teachers that are shouting vote buhari 2015, it is the same father n mother who told their children don't worry u will become the president of Nigeria one day, they are also the same people now telling that same children of thiers to vote buhari, it is that same pastor who sometimes prophesy to the congregation that they will become the president of this great nation n the congregation shouted amen, they are the same pastors that are endorsing buhari as the president, and that same congregation who shouted Amen with a loud voice are the same campaigning for buhari, pls is this not madness, when will u become the leader of tomorrow, when will u become the president, when will ur children madke u happy as the president mother/father, when will u as a pastor have a president as ya church memeber, what will u tell your children when the come back and tells you that their reach as told them that they will be leaders of tomorrow? if somebody Like buhari still long for the seat of presidency, why as u decided to shatter ur dreams by urself, why have u decided to end ur carrier in voting in someone older enough to be ya grandfather... Buhari after being the head of state as ran for this seat for 4 time yet e failed, no wonder he keep changing names of parties n he came up with a slogan change don't u think he will change ya brain from good to worst he wins, why can't we re-echo wat odumego ojuku said, he said ," I want people to knw ma father because of me not knowing me because of my father" why can't we make our fore fathers proud in their grave, why can't we make our children happy n hopeful,why can't we stop this madness n vote a youth like Jona to the seat of presidency n be hopeful that after 2019 u will be the next president! Buhari is nt wrong to say change but he is nt the change we need. Corruption is nt the president fault it is our fault, if we stop this madness then corruption will stop

Obasanjo/Atiku had 8 years but couldnt fix
power!!!
Fashola and Tinubu had 16years in lagos

GEJ has spent 5years + as President of over 170m people and they want him to overnight turn Nigeria into a paradise. They call him names, Clueless, Foolish, some even said he is stupid e.t.c. But...
(1) He built 150 almajiri schools.

the new automobile policy spurring Nissan&Hyundai e.t.c to assemble/produce cars in Nigeria and the emergence of Indigenous automobile company the INNOSON group now producing locally made in Nigeria cars, SUVs and trucks known as the IVM motors First in the history of Nigeria, She joined the commodity of car manufacturing countries..
Yet Goodluck is bad.
( He remodeled airports to international
standard,built five new airport terminals in PH, Lagos,Kano, Abuja & Enugu. First in the history of Nigeria, the East now have an international airport..
Yet Goodluck is bad.
(9 ) He signed freedom of information(FOI)
bill past leaders refused to sign..
Yet Jonathan is bad.
(10) He revamped the agricultural sector.
Nigeria now the largest producer of cassava in the world with 45million metric tonnes-FAO, the largest exporter of cassava chips to China and have unprecedented 60% sufficient in rice
production.
Yet Goodluck is bad.
(11) He gave women 35% affirmative to
women participation in governance which saw the emergence of Muktar as the first ever
female Chief Justice of Nigeria..

Yet Goodluck is bad.
(19) He does not interfere with the electoral
and judiciary system.Elections in Imo, Anambra,Osun, Ondo and Edo are examples. In the history of Nigeria, is only in his government the opposition controlled large number of states and controlled greater number of seats in the National Assembly..
Yet Goodluck is bad.
(20) Under his government,political assassination and assassination of high profile Nigerians is now a thing of the past. Who killed Dele Giwa, Bola Ige,FunshoWilliams,Marshall Harry,
Aminisoari Dikibo,Alfred Rewane, Ken Saro
Wiwa, Kudirat Abiola,NBA chairman Barnabas Igwe andhis wife Abigail Igwe? In
whose governments were all these
murdered? I can go on and give
you about 100 high profile political
assassination in Obasanjo's
civilian rule alone..
Yet President Goodluck Jonathan is bad and so
unacceptable to you.
(21) GEJ approved 2,564 vehicles for police
for free and fair elections and some bad
eggs still complain that he is not working.
We HAVE DREAM THAT ONE DAY NIGERIANS WILL BE JUDGED NOT BY THE DIALECT THEY SPEAK BUT BY THE CONTENT OF THEIR CHARACTER.
We hereby challenge anybody to bring forward
the achievements of Buhari, Babangida, Abacha and Obasanjo.
GOD BLESS NIGERIA
VOTE PRESIDENT GOODLUCK JONATHAN,

Good enough buhari has ruled Nigeria before,but since
he has been campaigning I v not heard him mention
one developmental project he started or completed all I
hear him say is that he made a decree to kill drug
pushers and he imprisoned people that where against
his tyrant govt,incase u where not born then,some of
the innocent Nigerians buhari imprisoned are-Ambrose
Ali,Sam Mbakwe,Chief Alex Elweme,Fela Anikulapo
Kuti,Chief Obafemi Awolowo,Pa Adekunle Ajasin,Sheik
Gumi,Chief Bola Ige and many more.Buhari is just a
desperate man he has nothing to offer

We Need more Cluelessness
*He is Clueless yet his Government was the first in the
World to conquer the dreaded Ebola Virus.
* He is Clueless yet under his leadership,Nigeria has
become the 3rd fastest growing economy in the world.
*He is Clueless yet his Minister for Agriculture has been
begged to come show the world how he eliminated
corruption and transformed the Agriculture sector.
*He is Clueless yet his Petroleum minister was elected to be
the First female President of OPEC.
*He is Clueless yet under his leadership,the Nigerian
Economy is Number one in Africa.
*He is Clueless yet he was able to Privatize the Power
sector which none could do before him.
* He is Clueless yet he has built more roads than any other
government before him.
*He is Clueless yet for the first time in our history,we now
have over 10 Automobile manufacturers in Nigeria.
*He is Clueless yet he's built over 12 tertiary institutions
within 4 years.
If all these were achieved by a clueless man,we need the
Cluelessness to continue till 2019.
My personal letter to BUHARI,
Sir,let us examine your service records. I consider your generation a very privileged one, indeed. In 1975 at d age of 33, you were appointed d Military Governor of d North-Eastern State, present day Borno & Yobe states. In 1976 at d age of 34 you became d Minister 4 Petroleum and Natural Resources. In 1978 at d age of 36 you became d Chairman of d Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC). Today d reverse is d case. Most Nigerians at age of 35 are still unemployed and still living with parents. Many are still not married. During ur time u were already Governor at this age.One major reason for this unfortunate turn of events is that many elders like you have refused 2 voluntarily handover d baton 2 d next generation. Life should be a relay race where one runs his race and hands over 2 d next. In Nigeria many elders like you have run their races and are still holding on tenaciously 2 d baton.But Sir, I have an important question here 4 you.
The question is simple, MUST YOU SERVE NIGERIA AS A PRESIDENT ONLY? IS THERE NO OTHER CAPACITY YOU CAN SERVE US EXCEPT D PRESIDENCY? It is very erroneous 2 imagine that you can only serve Nigeria only in one capacity. During d regime of late General Sani Abacha, you accepted d appointment 2 serve as d Chairman of d then Petroleum Trust Fund (PTF). D general opinion was that you served faithfully in this capacity. Well done Sir! But you never asked Abacha 2 vacate office 4 you as your former subordinate in d army. Never! In fact that would have been a dangerous move, if not suicidal. Rather you served faithfully under your former junior in d army. Sir, imagine if you take on another job like d Chairman of EFCC or ICPC or NDLEA. Nigerians actually need you 2 serve in one of these capacities much more than they need you in d Presidency. Mere mentioning your name as Chairman of EFCC would drive many corrupt men u

Hahaha! Another case of leaked contraceptive? The way you reason has qualified you as a despicable,hideous,absurd,incomprehensible mendicant,who doubles as a social riff raff.Get off the phone if you can't reason with sane humans.Your writeup is as poor as you.
N.B: Get a good lawyer and claim some damages from the condom factory.Ur a waste already! Ur just reasoning with the aid of Tiger batteries.

How did this Ota Farm slowpoke rule Nigeria for 8 years? How on earth? A foolish ex-president who slept with his son's wife, someone who cannot manage his micro family, someone who squandered whopping ,$16b electricity fund on frivolity, an old mad chimpazee who attempted to rubbish the constitution(like Buhari) in his 3rd term ambition... is now trying to bring down a democratically constituted govt just because of selfish agenda! OBJ MUST GO TO JAIL AGAIN.Simply put; Obasanjo is the problem with Nigeria. A narcissistic old man, who has not allowed democracy to thrive in Nigeria. He obviously believes he is the only one that can solve Nigeria's problems. He has not been able to twist Goodluck's arms anyway he wants, that is why he has been acting like a spoilt child. Goodluck is on record to be the only one that has allowed democracy to flourish in Nigeria.
People blame him for not changing Nigeria; they have forgotten that the same military represented by Obasanjo and Buhari with other Northerners ruled this same Nigeria for forty years and grounded everything good about Nigeria. Goodluck has only done 4 years and I do not think he has done perfectly well, but we are seeing some of the good things he has attempted to do. Obasanjo should leave Nigeria alone and act like an elder statesman. With or without him , Nigeria will thrive. President Goodluck will conduct free and fair elections and I trust him to hand over if he dose not win.old man talking old things
obasanjo + buhari = old fools forever
