Meanwhile, the Police, through the instrumentality of the Operation Flush II, have embarked on a "stop and check" exercise on strategic points in the metropolis, as well as four major roads leading into Maiduguri, the state capital with a view to averting any reprisal attack.

Correction. . .

Go and sleep jare, your hands are too full with Boko Haram to worry about MEND.

In the original message, the conjunction "although" was used to join the two sentences because they have the same subject, hence the subject needed not be repeated

I dont know why MEND is cowering, speed this break up process up so every one can go and rest abeg.

Nigeria Disintegration isn't Far off!

Kosovo amen my brother.
And just like the former Yugoslavia it will break up into It's own Serbia, Montenegro, Croatia, Kosovo et al

ndu_chucks:

una days are numbered inside de creeks, by una, I mean de terrorists and criminals wey dey abuse and lead young boys astray and parading themselves as MEND.  una go dance to a different tune as soon as Africom move their headquarters to Sapele or PH.

Right now Africom HQ is in Stuttgart Germany, the most likely destination is Ethiopia and that is even doubtful. I know you were joking but I will ask the question anyway.

The northern fundamentalist have taken the fight to the USA, do you really think the CIA are not planning how to crush your friends in Bauchi and Zamfara?

sapeleguy, make you no begin exhibit intellectual dishonesty for here, up till now, dat one no be ya modus operadi. even USA no blame North for de terrorist act.

as i tell beaf before, de first articulated admiration of osama bin laden on nigerian soil came from una number one terrorist chief inside MEND, Alhaji Mujahid Dokubo Asari.  by de time wey Africom finish with una, na only a handful go remain inside una creeks. olodo.

But nah una people replace naija flag with afghanistan flag. The truth is bitter, the CIA are already on ground and coming for you people. Make you stay here dey open mouth like ice fish.
Mike Okiro warned us as as far back as May last year but this same govt made him retract the warning.

i really wonder why southern Nigerians always like to feel they are bosom buddies with the US?

self deception at its best.

Dirty stinking Fulani/Hausa north are in trouble,

You don't get it do you? We must condemn all acts of terrorism. I hereby condemn completely the terrorist act perpetrated by Umar Farouk AbdulMutallab, the act is criminal and disgraceful.  I additionally condemn all terrorist and criminal acts including those perpetrated by MEND, I do this as a honorable human being and Nigerian.

Ngwanu, sapeleguy, lets hear your own condemnation of terrorists and criminals. no long tin, just copy and past my pronouncements above, let the world know that you don't support terrorists. I dey wait.

I suspect say you go begin blow useless grammer now instead make you issue a statement of condemnation. If you no fit condemn all terrorist acts, make you no expect Africom to treat you and your cohorts as friends.  Afterall, na una area dem go park (berth) carrier vessel wey dem go use deal with una.  

Condemnation is not enough, that is mere lip service. We need a task force to root out these fundamentalist vagabonds.

Tpia- Nobody is foolish enough to believe that America is anybody but America's best friend. America will act because America has been attacked. Simple.

SapeleGuy:

I no say you no fit issue simple statement of condemnation.  i go help you rephrase ya statement so dat de ting go dey more appropriate:


We need a task force to root out these fundamentalist vagabonds terrorists, including MEND, regardless of their state of origin

I think you are choosing emotive and emotional language for effect. Terrorism is a nebulous term some definitions have a religious undertone some don't. The first place is to define terrorism and then we can move forward.

SapeleGuy:

Terrorism is criminal whichever way you choose to define it. You should not have any reservations about its condemnation. shikena.

Life is not only about black and white- there are shades of grey in between. If we are using your blanket value judgement we would say that Nelson Mandela and ANC were wrong to liberate their people from the grip of apartheid. That was also defined as terrorism.

Stop trying to beautify your warped stance with Mandela's name. Mandela never tried to blow up a plane carrying hundreds of people, he was never a kidnapper, or oil bunkerer, Mandela was no criminal. What's criminal is your act of comparing mandela with your adored terrorists - for that, you yourself deserve jail term. olodo.

There is no blanket value judgement going on, a person that tried to blow up a plane carrying innocent people, and MEND that kidnaps, perpetrates oil bunkering, and other criminal acts are terrorists. period.

Whoever says that MEND is wrong is one of those disgruntled misguided coward Nigerians who wants to suppress the truth about Nigeria. You think the West don't know already that Northern Nigeria is a fertile ground for extremism? They have not taken it seriously because it has not been directed at them. From now on every person with a Muslim name will go thru the eye of a needle getting Western VISA.

ndu-chucks
The only thing that falls under terrorism from your list is the actions of your fundamentalist & fanatical terrorists, which we all condemn in unequivocal terms.

As I said we must root out this cancer of fundamentalism and intolerance that has taken root in the north.

You are being uncharacteristically hysterical and emotional as well as disingenuous to deny that Mandela was labeled a terrorist by SA, UK and USA.

hmmm, some people seem to think oil money is the be all and end all of existence.

America will take your money and your bribes but it doesnt mean they wont get you when the time is ripe.

and anyone who thinks the west values southerners more than northerners should continue living in lalaland.

if they invade the north, you think that will automatically benefit you somehow?

fantasy island

Task force? A muslim president who dreams of declaring sharia will constitute task force. No he will declare Jihad!

Let the truth be told as it as bitter as it is, the whole bokoharem or whatever Islamic fundamentalist movement is intrinsically linked to government the leaders (former commissioner Bauchi state) and financers all conveniently executed to cover the truth.

The statement of MEND is not without credence and cannot be dismissed.

The current soap drama being played in public with a president, who is incommunicado, indisposed and without doubt incapable, yet holding on to power unconstitutionally while we all watch in suspense held captive by a very bad third rate movie that just won’t end. A VP that is being denied in broad daylight our constititional right to carry out the functions of his elected office on the basis of one consideration, he is not from the North.

ndu_chuks is sounding very very desperate.

I wonder why? Yar Adua has been trying this Africom stunt for a long time now, it has not worked. The simple reason is that, it is fo.ols and criminals thinking that they can use the US to do their dirty work and preserve their filthy bunkering lucre (the country losses US$14 billion annually). The very same people are using almajiri, sharia and Boko Haram as political tools, but God don catch de bas.tards.

The scion of a leader of their evil cabal took the war from Katsina to Detroit.
De boy papa na serious mafia member, with cabal connections with everything from the infamous NNDC to the first Islamic bank and every other thing unprogressive in the country.

I laugh in Mutallab.

And if you can convince them you both share a common enemy all the better for you.
Like their Iraqi and Afghan allies who supplied them with the location of rivals claiming they were terrorist hideouts.
