A military regime would use brute force and wouldn't care if civilians are caught in gunfires.

And who will that civilians be, may be enough civilians hasn't died already. I just pray for the Igbo's wasting their time there

slickrick7: "Boko Haram, though, is no saintly organisation. Its hard-line views have led to many attacks and executions. The group targets Christians and Muslims alike, though it has a special liking for attacking police and military forces. These attacks have occurred several times a week, if not daily, since 2010. It has also killed children and blown up schools, not to mention medical personnel, religious buildings, sports venues, people playing cards games - the list goes on. The group does not limit its forms of violence either: kidnappings, car bombs, suicide bombers, drive-by shootings and beheadings all form part of its repertoire. But the biggest problem is distinguishing between violence orchestrated by Boko Haram and other factions"......................Muslims n christians alike my foot!!! what is the ratio of christians killed to muslims huh? u said religious buildings? nah,, say CHURCHES cos dem neva bomb mosque B4. say everything bluntly,, DON'T GENERALIZE PLEASE

This are some trash that really annoy me. You guys quote your quran and yet do the opposite. Are you defending boko haram or what? It is Gej it is the millitary bla bla bla. How about standing up clearly to say it is boko haram and it is evil instead qouting things from the same quran they quote which one do we belive?. Actions they say speaks louder than words and boko boys seem to be doing all d action for islam in Nigeria.

If u r annoyed because of a post that is a trash for ur mind. It'll be better for u to carefully watch ur statement.

On point.

Those of us here in the south or abroad can sit down, read newspapers and type epistles on nairaland largely spewing the half truths & propaganda we have read & its easy to almost call for the total anihilation of the region since many of us are still under the delusion that the north is solely responsible for the country's problems (forgetting that most of the roads and monuments we see around today -which we the 'southerners' are STRUGGLING to maintain- were built while these 'abokis' were in power).

We forget that there are human beings like us resident in that north.

Talk to those in the North. Then you will understand why boko haram is a national problem which is continuously being mishandled.

I spoke recently with a southerner who is based in the north (a peaceful area tho, apparently) & he told me things . The part about wanton executions of innocent men, women & children by the millitary is VERY true according to him & they still go on till date & that is why the violence keeps increasing. A lot of these things are apparently kept quiet.

These boko guys target anything. They are not concerned with your religion. Their motive is to spread destruction & render that place totally useless. Both muslims & xtians are living under seige from these guys, especially the muslims who also have to contend with the harrassment & sometimes summary execution by the security forces. Lots of innocent people are still locked up in prisons for no reason at all! The people cant move freely, no factories, few businesses, poverty everywhere.

Let us reason: how can someone tell you that he's killing people because he wants them to accept islam?? By the time he kills all the xtians, shey na dead body go accept islam??

I too support millitary action against these guys, but the millitary action must be precise & right on target or else as we've been seeing, the problem will keep getting bigger. You don't kill ordinary civillians on the road & come out to say you killed boko haram members. The boko guys will come and show you that you didn't kill them! You don't imprison innocent people and expect these same innocent people to risk their lives (boko boys will be after them) & come to tell you where the boko guys are. You do not say you are fighting for me & still be fighting against me.

As rightly pointed out, boko haram will have lots of splinter groups that even the leader may have no control over. Eventually, some wil want to dialogue while some will still feel they are doing Allah a favour (which they are not or else xtians, budhists, jews e.t.c will have long since been wiped out).

Allah himself has said in the Qur'an that if He had willed, he would have created us all to have the same religion but He intentionally didnt do so, so that we may strive among ourselves in good deeds & that he may test us based on what was revealed to us (Q5:48).

Allah has also commanded that muslims are supposed to even DEFEND and PROTECT xtians in times of war! All these are contained in the same Quran where people misquote their deadly verses from.

Let us leave religion aside tho & concentrate on the matter.

The Government really needs to use the carrot and stick approach here. Dialogue should NOT be completely ruled out if we are indeed sincere about ending this problem.
The security forces should be called to order & be told to exercise some level of restraint in their ''Shoot first, ask questions later'' approach because it is becoming counter-productive.

Also i think it has become apparent that a lot of violence being perpetrated in the north may have nothing to do with BH. Even the BH guys i suspect will be up for highest bidder.

Our country sent troops to mali, now how secure are our borders? What stops the Mali insurgents from coming into Nigeria? Does the FG even know if Abubakar Shekau is a Nigerian


The BH sponsors GEJ said are in his govt, when is he going to unmask them?

Btw, anyone still saying stuffs like Buhari is behind bokoharam is probably high on soak-away Poo (i hear some people in these war zones get high on it! No kidding), however, everybody can say his /her own, what matters is the truth. Whose responsibility is it to find the truth and reveal it? The Government. Talk about power, roads, food e.t.c., we can share that with the govt, but providing NATIONAL SECURITY? That's like the chief responbility & almost the EXCLUSIVE preserve of the GOVERNMENT.

Mr Buhari spokesman, well done. How are u soo sure he's not a sponsor eehen. Too know go kill you.

Stick and carrot Koo bomb and bullet ni. Another boko haram sympathizer, you all claim the the faceless group has factions and they keep increasing by the day, soo how much carrot can we use to feed the whole north. After all, they are a faceless group so you and ur brothers can join tomorrow Abi ?.

I had expects you to say the army,should focus more on controlling the flow of arms into the country, but you there blaming and criticizing, have your Islamic people not been killing Christians from the existence of Islam that you want the govt to negotiate with terrorist, even mali an Islamic country stood her ground and not negotiate, na big Nigeria go dey beg murders and killers. Guy be careful oooh

Of course don't be silly muslims where there the only issue was that I was brave. I was brave through the maitasine period I was brave through the Gidion Akaluka period I was brave through the Jos crisis in 2001 I was brave through the sai Buhari crisis I was brave when the head of the of my place of work frustrated me out simply because am christian and Igbo I have been brave dear something you will never know the meaning of. Is it not the same sultan who u put up a link about that is asking for amnesty? You guys have mastered the art of tequiya so am not suprised. You can keep on defending evil that is your pot of tea. And of course asking what muslims have done for nigeria was senseless thanks for correcting me. The question should have been what good have muslims done for Nigeria.

*sighs*, Alright. You've had the last word...since you have consistently failed to get my point. May God continue to protect you from people who think that by harming you, they are doing god a favour. & may He also let you realise the differences that exist between Islam's commandments and the actions of some muslims.
