a bi ode ni e nii?

How can you compare Niger Delta boys to Boko Haram boys? Of what similarities are they?
One is fighting for their right and the other is destroying life and properties because they claimed they don't need/want education. So, where is the just cause?

I wrote, they are fighting for a "cause" now wether that cause makes sense to you or me is all about perspective.
But the method with which they fought for the cause is what brought about the tag terrorism.
And that is violence!
No matter how honourable a cause is, once violence is involved against a state that leads to loss of lives and properties, it is now an act of terrorism.
Every government knows this!
Even USA the percieved home of democracy would never all any group to threaten them with violence.

This fellow writes just like the BBQ guy. It seems this might be one of his aliases. Notice the use of bold and colored characters.

No I'm not. As a matter of fact i consider BBQ guy a certified zombie!

donjahsy:
. You are setting far worst bad precedence by thinking with your anus! Did i hear you say Boko Haram are asking for amnesty?

I'd ignore the insult. Did MEND specifically ask for amensty or the their lesders suggest it?

Lol. Monicker says it all.
Nothing upstairs. Bye!

NIGER DELTA STRUGGLE BY THEIR MILITANT WAS A JUST CAUSE.

As the crude oil was in their land while the money was being spent to build Abuja and other states in Nigeria.

Meanwhile, ecological issues, oil pollution, gas flaring, poverty, misery and lack of infrastructure breeds in the creeks of oil producing community damaging their ecosystem and their agricultural land.

But Boko Haram who are they representing ?

What cause were they fighting for?

They said they do not believe in Western Education.

To you it was a just cause, to them it is a just cause. It's all perspective my brother..
But that aside, it's not the "cause"
but the method employed in fighting it.
Remember Henry Okah?
Once violence is employed against the state, it's no longer an agitation but an act of terrorism!
What do you think would have happened if the propagators of #BlackLivesMatter if they had resorted to arms against the US Govt?
Do you think there justified cause would hold any traction? NO! they would br proscribed and flushed out! That's how a government works!!!
I still stand by my words that AMNESTY SHOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN GIVEN TO MEND OR BH!

But Boko Haram ?

You call it a just cause because we are southerners.
But the question is; WAS THE METHOD EMPLOYED IN FIGHTING THIS "JUST CAUSE" JUSTIFIABLE?
THE BOMBINGS, KILLINGS, THEFT, SABOTAGE.. DO YOU HOW MANY LIVES WHERE LOST IN THE CREEKS AND ON THE SEA
WHERE ARE THE TERRORISTS(MILITANTS) TODAY?
LIVING A VERY AFFLUENT LIFE! IS THAT THE CAUSE?
ASARI, ATEKE, TOMPOLO, AYIRI IMAMI, DAVID LYON etc.
Do these mean seem like freedom fighters to you or men who saw an opportunity and cashed out?

DCmonster:
Seriously are you ok? You should be in school getting proper education and not on nairaland, you seems barely educated.

Professor please leave sentiments at the door and disprove anything i just wrote!

oviexcels:
was MEND proscribed a terrorist organisation, please lets stop this comparison, how could you compare someone fighting for the emancipation of his people and a killer that just go about killing people without any reason, did MEND kill any body from any part of the world? are we taking anything from North East forcefully and destroying their environment in the process without repair ?

Emancipation is a "cause" MEND believed was worth fighting for.
Islamisation is a "cause" Boko Haram felt is worth fighting for.
And did you just say MEND didn't have civilian casualties? So MEND where shooting only plastic bullets right?
So sabotaging the economy through violence is not an act of terrorism!
Look, lets call a spade a spade. Amnesty should have never been granted to any terrorist whether they go by the name MEND or BH.
It's wrong, it's disgusting and nauseating!

babyfaceafrica:
The NSA does not have a spokesperson.




This is a very useless .. How will nsa not have spokesperson.. This is bad

Probably because the NSA was never meant to be involved in such imbroglio

Maxymilliano:
Na waa ooo

Monguno is fighting Aba Kyari, Buratai is fighting Monguno, Boko Haram is decimating the north with reckless abandon, yet Buhari is silent ...

Real trouble in paradise the zoo !

Fixed

The truth is, Amnesty either for ND militants or Boko haram should never have been!
There is absolutely no justification for forgiving criminals and paying them or catering for there welfare regardless of the cause they claim to be fighting for!
Late Umaru Yar Ardua set a bad precedent by granting amnesty to terrorists with the name MEND. Today BH are asking for the same.
Afterall they are both intricately intertwined
They both fought for a cause!
They both threatened the goverment!
They both employed violence
They both caused the goverment loss of lives and properties!
So yes WHAT IS GOOD FOR THE GEESE IS GOOD FOR THE GANDER!
AMNESTY SHOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN, BUT HERE WE ARE!!!


N/B; Honestly I'm tired of explaining my stand to every ignorant person that quotes me so i might as well do it here.
No matter how honourable a cause may seem to be by the propagators, THE MOMENT VIOLENCE AGAINST THE STATE IS INVOLVED IN THE FIGHT FOR THE CAUSE, IT IS NO LONGER AN AGITATION BUT AN ACT OF TERRORISM! THAT IS just how every government works!
MEND employed violence against the Nigerian state for their "honourable cause" hence in the eyes of every reasonable goverment, THEY ARE TERRORISTS!
REMEMBER HENRY OKAH?
Just like the #BlackLivesMatter movement in USA, their cause is very honourable but what do you think would have happened if they took up arms and started attacking the US Govt? THEY WOULD BE FLUSHED and tried under the terrorism act. The law wouldn't look at the cause anymore but the medium employed in fighting the cause!
As unpleasant as it may seem even to me, MEND was a terrorist organisation and the Nigerian govt set a bad precedent by granting them amnesty!

Osho baba.. the party scatterrer!

Oh Kiki, Do you love us?

what do you mean by your statement ??

They ALWAYS have other women throwing themselves @ him! Rich, broke, dark, fair, models, even old women too. Their self control has to be top notch

Women that get married to men like this are brave sha..

Kingosytex:
The Supreme Court goofed on the Imo Judgement, the presiding judges should have ordered a re-run.

After which APC will use their federal might to rig their way to the seat.

Given the difference between the PDP vs APC, a rerun would have been useless! Because even with assumed 100% voter turn out and 98% votes accrued to APC. The numbers didn't add up!
This was the only way to do it!

Some lawyers are heartless!

Good! Enough is enough

Fake congratulations

That's a Chrysler not a rolls Royce!

You get eye!
Don't mind this fraudulent IPOBS!

Everything is fraud with IPOB!
Even the "Rolls Royce" is fake!!
THATS A REMODELED CHRYSLER 300!
IT'S DEFINITELY NOT A ROLLS ROYCE!

Xclusiveme:
So you're saying girls are attracted to girls who wear anklet? Wow!! Its not like that bro. The same way u wear bracelet, necklace, its the same as wearing anklet. I'm a man and I'm also attracted to beautiful girls who wear anklet.

Ok let me let you in on this.
A close friend back then in school, she was actually a bi- chic told me that "forget what most girls say, that most times an anklet is usually an indication that a girl is open to girl on girl fun, that if for example she's at a party and she sees a hot chic on anklet, she's definitely shooting her shot and even if she's turned down, she'd persist a little more just to be sure"
So now the question i throw back to you, as a guy, would you be comfortable puting on any jewellery or fashion piece that would keep attracting gay guys hitting on you if you are 100% staright?

JeffreyD1:
I travel a lot bro

GUO is my best option going from Abuja to Lagos I love them

While from my state to Lagos is Libra

I used Gigm, F. G. Onyewe, Chisco, ekeson

In all I prefer GUO and Libra

Ok. Well GIGM has the best buses on road in Nigeria for now

JeffreyD1:
I'm waiting for GUO to add this to their fleets so that I can travel for no reason

I want to believe you haven't tried GIG motors!
