It is no longer news that the Boko Haram sect has proposed terms under which it would be ready to dialogue with the Federal Government on a ceasefire in its ongoing war against Christians and the Nigerian government.
A man who identified himself as Abu Mohammed Ibn Abdulaziz, second-in-command to the sect leader, Abubakar Shekau, told journalists at a radio conference in Maiduguri, last week, that the sect would stop its bombing campaigns if the government agrees with its conditions. First, it selected former Head of State, Gen. Mohammadu Buhari (rtd); Dr Shettima Monguno; a former Yobe State governor, Senator Bukar Ibrahim; Ambassador Gaji Galtimari; Aisha Alkali Wakil and her husband, Alkali, as “trusted Nigerians” that it would be ready to negotiate with it. Second, it insisted that the dialogue would not hold on Nigeria soil but in Saudi Arabia, and third, that the families of its members who were killed by the security agencies during its campaign should be compensated by the Federal Government.
Lastly, the group demanded rebuilding of its mosques destroyed by the Federal Government, and the arrest of former Borno State governor, Modu Sheriff, ostensibly over allegations that he sponsored the killing of its members. This offer of a ceasefire by Boko Haram has been generating ripples since it hit the airwaves. The Congress for Political Change (CPC), the political party which fielded Gen. Buhari as its candidate in the 2011 presidential election, has rejected the nomination of Buhari for the negotiations.
Initial reactions from the party claimed that the naming of Buhari as negotiator with Boko Haram is a plot of the Federal Government to rope him into the Boko Haram problem. There are, however, those who feel that any step that would lead to peaceful resolution of the Boko Haram conflict is welcome. President Goodluck Jonathan, himself, has said the peace overture is welcome if it would lead to peace. Former Head of State, Gen. Yakubu Gowon, has also towed the same line. According to him, Buhari would not be the spokesman of the sect, but would only help to ensure that peace reigns again in the country.
The ceasefire negotiating terms proposed Boko Haram are, indeed, thought provoking, to put it mildly. First, the choice of Buhari. It is very strange to have a former Head of State of the country who is still aspiring to rule the country again being selected as a “trusted Nigerian” by an insurgent sect that has declared war on the country by willful killing of security agents and Christians in their churches.
The basis of this “trust” raises salient questions on Buhari’s credentials as neutral party in the conflict involving Boko Haram, the Federal Government and Christians in Nigeria. In spite of Gowon’s attempt to window-dress the role expected of Buhari in the negotiations, there is really no way to interpret the role other than that of a person who has the ears of the sect, and is somehow sympathetic to, or supportive of its cause. It is odd, also, for the sect to not only choose its representatives to the talks, but also that of the Federal Government. Would that not amount to a monologue? This picture of the former Head of State as a “trusted” friend of the sect through whom it can negotiate with the Federal Goverment is neither salutary to Buhari’s image as a former Nigerian leader, nor expedient to his quest to lead the country again.
If I were Buhari, I would be very worried, and quickly begin to press all my Boko Haram “buttons” to be excused from stepping on this giant banana peel. But, that is just one way to look at this proposal. Another way to consider the matter, which I think Gowon and Jonathan are trying to look at, is that the choice of Buhari does not matter as long as the process leads to peace and security in the country. Yet, other groups have spoken their minds.
The National Democratic Coalition (NADECO), through General Secretary, Mr. Ayo Opadokun, described the Boko Haram talk terms as a curious attempt by “the tail to wag the dog”. To make this simpler, the “Boko Haram tail” trying to wag the “Nigerian Federal Government dog”. (except that sometimes, Nigerians are not really too sure who is the tail and who is the dog in this Boko Haram affair.” NADECO is of the opinion that negotiating with Boko Haram on its terms could propel other aggrieved groups in the country to adopt the same violent tactics used by Boko Haram.
Already, the Niger Delta Youth Parliament, through its coordinator, Mr Imoh Okoko, has said if Jonathan negotiates with Boko Haram, he should be ready to negotiate with the Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) and other aggrieved groups in the country. For me, there is no doubt that it is critical that a solution be found to the Boko Haram problem. There is clearly no way to get around the problem other than through dialogue.
It is a well acknowledged fact that crises, conflicts and wars usually arise out of a failure of parties to reach a consensus via dialogue, while most wars and conflicts inevitably end with the fighters agreeing on a resolution of their problems through dialogue. Considering the intransigence of the Boko Haram sect, and government’s failure to get a handle to the problem, there is no arguing the wisdom of a dialogue to end this insurgency. It is the terms of the negotiation of a Boko Haram ceasefire, however, that the Nigerian government needs to be careful about.
This dialogue should take place, but the President Jonathan government should ideally not be seen to have totally capitulated to the sect. The president must be careful to not only win the battle in this conflict, he must also win the peace. The president would be falling headlong if he accedes to every demand of Boko Haram on this proposed ceasefire. Yes, there should be dialogue. Jonathan should put a leg in the door of opportunity opened by Boko Haram. (“Assuming that the sect is sincere, and would not, thereafter, chop off the president’s heel and toes”).
But, Boko Haram’s selection of the venue and the representatives to the talk should not be swallowed hook, line and sinker by the government. One party to a talk should not select representatives for both sides. Although some have said that Buhari should view his selection by Boko Haram as a challenge and a sacrifice for peace in the nation, as Nigeria would be better for it, he might, inadvertently, be driving a nail in the coffin of his aspiration to national leadership, at least outside Northern Nigeria. It may be more advisable for him to plead with the sect to allow the other “trusted Nigerians” to handle the negotiations.
The talks could also hold on any neutral ground outside Nigeria. I don’t really know how Jonathan could feel to have a sect that has killed thousands of Nigerians dictating a meeting venue for him. It smacks of weakness. Let Jonathan, even if secretly, appeal to Boko Haram that his government be allowed to excuse Buhari from the talks, and that negotiations hold in another place other than Saudi Arabia. The demand for re-construction of demolished mosques is another controversial request. If the president is good natured (and that’s putting it very mildly) enough to rebuild mosques for Boko Haram, he must extend same privilege to churches that were burnt by the sect.
If the government must compensate families of Boko Haram operatives killed in the conflict, how much more the need to compensate innocent people killed while worshipping in their churches! On the demand for the arrest of Modu Sheriff, by all means, let him be picked up if there are sufficient grounds for his arrest. All in all, the window of opportunity for the negotiation of a ceasefire with Boko Haram is welcome.
Government must be proactive and seize the opportunity to end this problem, once and for all. The scourge of violence and insecurity that has enveloped Nigeria has hovered around for too long. Let all well meaning Nigerians intervene in whatever ways are necessary to end this problem, once and for all.

we all knew tht Buhari is the oga of boko/h,if not why is he well trusted by the sect to be their advocator? We “ve been praying to God to expose the sponsor of the deadly boko/h. and here we are, see the person tht want to rule Nigeria. God have mercy.
Our God is a 2ru God his promises neva fail,he promised 2 b wit nd 4 us at all,and surely he is wit us.Mr President,tink twice,may d Lord ho had started revealling thns 2 u,give u d wisdom in d steps 2 b taken.
who does not know that buhari is the head of boko haram-again did MEND not nominate wole soyinka-and was the appeal by the body not rejected by government-why give in to boko haram an evil organization that sent hundred of Ibos to their grave
Pls mr president,nigeria is greater and stronger than this very few animals called boko haram. You must be an animal to negotiate with animals. But if you think it is the best,then you should expwct more calls for negotiations by other aggrieved groups. And that will mean show-casing the weakness of the federal government under your leadership. YOU DONT NEGOTIATE WITH TERRORIST! BE WARNED!!!
room 4 dialogue is a welcome opportunity. Rebuilding of their mosque and compensating the families of their dead coalique is out of the equation. Arresting sen Modu sheriff should be the 1st step; because 2 me he is the reason 4 dis problems. Him, as a governor sponsors violence and his regime as governor witness the collapse of infractures and neglect 2 education in the state. The formal home of peace became home of insecurity by the works of his hand. I knw this things cos i did my youth service there.
You Boko Haram guys,
When will you start thinking like humans? You are asking re-building that your radical meeting place called mosques, what about the Christians that you killed, will you bring them back to life?
This why I said that your are devil agents and your Mohamed is a stupid leader who lacked the spirit of truth in him.
Your madness is now dragging you to negotiations, my dear nothing to negotiate and no compensations for you guys, the only compensations you will get is death, your master the devil is waiting for you in hell.
Your region and beliefs is a big shame to humanity, and it lacks light. No good region carry weapons to a prayers place, a stupid religion that beliefs in killing and wasting innocent bloods is no religion.
Dint stop bombing, you started it why are you begging now? will your allah no longer give 7 virgins when you die, it very stupid of you when you appear before the TV and press with guns and weapons in your hands and you called yourself a stupid religion members.
Shame on Buhari and others who have been sponsoring you undergrandly, we know every thing, you are a shame to humanity. I Christian killed, is better that 100 Billion of yours if you don’t know. No compensation for your guys OK, go and keep on BokoHaraming, that is what your religion is all about, so preach your evil gospels with bombs and guns.
BUHARI IS BOKO HARAM, IF YOU LIKE RUN AND HIDE, NIGERIANS KNOW YOU. BOKO BUHARI HARAM THAT IS YOUR FULL NAME, THANK GOD FOR DISCLOSING TO US
Pls,let embrace d dilogue bc we al nid it. 4 those who are playin politic wit dis peace proces mus b mad. Any attenabl means shud b employ.

Negotiation with boko haram is xo absord, anoying’ 4 what? What were they fighting 4? Sigh. The God we serve is nt at sleep nor dead. Fedral govt should also be ready to negotiate with biafra. The fight for fireness equity and coscience,’ nigeria is excluded. The negotiation will only give room for others to start fighting and killing without reason cos there will negotiation. Sigh,’ jonathan self.
One of the legacy of late president musa yar,adua was the ways he democratically solved the militancy of niger delta as Nigeria problem. This group of terrist know that Nigerian are busybody in issues that related to govt, recently in media they said president Jonathan should convert to islam and now the conditions to ceasefire. From the ways Nigerians are judgemental of security issues shows that we are illiterate to the world. President Jonathan is the president and Father of Livingthing & non Livingthing of this country so we should allow him to do his WILL democratically as a Legitimate Leader. Terrorism is a Global crisis and their people are not busybody like Nigeria, the victims bad roads, preventable disease, preventable disasters were more than victims of terrorism. Victims of terrorism is now subject religion forgeting the souls and ordeal of victim of road accident, floor disasters and those died on preventable disease.
Thank God its now glaring dat d north supports d activities of boko haram.If gej knows what is best 4 him,he should chose d venue of d meeting if he is too weak a president to face,tackle & defeat them.saudi arabia d headquarter of world terorism should neva be their meeting place if they must.May God himself destroy d north bcos they’re all evil minded,devilish set of animals.
The comments of THE NOON above is most provoking. This Idiot should stop this nonsense
IT IS UNFAIR FOR SOMEONE TO PAINT BUHARI AS MEMBER OF BOKO HARAM, LET ME MAKE THIS CLEAR TO ANYONE WHO CARES TO HEAR, GEN. BUHARI RTD. STILL REMAINS THE BEST LEADER IN THE PAST AND IN THE PRESENT NIGERIA, YOU CANNOT TAKE IT FROM HIM. IF INVOLVING HIM IN THE PEACE TALK WILL SOLVE THE MENACE OF THE BOKO HARAM, SO BE IT.
Who be this foolish Moon self? U just de talk meaningless rubbish here. NONSENSE!
Well thought of article
@THE MOON may original boko haram visit u and ur family in Allah’s name, fool, u are comparing niger delta militant that agitated for their right, their deterorating farm land by FG oil exploitation, etc. with ur uncles BOKO HARAM who has nothing to agitate 4 but go about giving their organizers, employers and the northern elites in general their own experience of the civil war. i urge GEJ not to dailog with any almajiri sect, JTF wage war with this uncircumcise kuturu, buzoo sect call boko haram. BOKO HARAM welldone job, i recommend more intensify bombings, infact bomb any thing whithin ur reach. if possible bomb GEJ, JTF, THE MOON, IGBOS, HAUSAS, YORUBAS, MOSQUITOS, HOUSE FLIES, ANTS, even urselves. hahaha hahahahahaha!!!!!
Who be this foolish Moon self? U just de yarn many many meaningless, rubbish yarn here. Olodo!
Nigerians have now known the real leaders of Boko Haram. Congratulation Gen Buhari. It is time you start manifesting the rest of your hidden plans on hw to make Nigeria ungovernable
I agree with government to dialogue with Boko boys for peace to reign since Boko boys are not demand for Saria law to be practiced in th country again.
But I will not agree with Boko boys for their demand of compensation for their member killed because they killed also, are (Boko boys) they ready to compensate the families of many people killed by them?
I agree with government to dialogue with Boko boys for peace to reign in the country since they are not demanding for Sharia law again.
But I will not agree with Boko boys for their demand of compensation for their members killed because they killed more than government and they caused the killing, are (Boko boys) ready to compensate the families of many people killed by them?
Can Boko haram withstand chemical weapon?????? I think this time is the time both the government and individual will fight them to the last cure. Let Federal government have no dialogue with them, they are fools and can not get no demand from government. Let them also know Christian is ready with them now as we know they are fighting us directly.
@goodwil Gen Buhari rtd still remain the best leader in the past and in the present nigeria. i agree with u. first and foremost we dnt hv present nigeria, the name nigeria is only use now by our politicians to oil their lips, hands and puckets 4rm the wealth of our niger delta region. we only have dual and still to disintigrate country call naija(niger) and eria(area). talk about buhari, if he has nothing to do with his boys boko haram, what does he had in mind when he publicly brag that he has every tools to bring back power to north (born to rule mentality). 4rm which source does he got the power to make this government ungovernable as he earlier said. my dear goodwil if u dont have anything to say u better keep ur mouth shut and acquire wisdom 4rm the wise. the gen. muhammadu buhari rtd. u know is now gen. muhammdu bokohari.
Boko boys would have chosing some body like obasajo insted of Buari for the dialogue
is a shame if Nigeria leaders will adhear to the demand of this evil group..to take the nation for peace talk with them in Saudi Arabia…lookt this abomination group of people who doing the work of their evil leaders calling for peace talk..they are lieing and cannt seize to do evil.since their leader visited Nigeria some years ago thats when all these killing started,,,Nigeria i hope u know that their leaders sent many containers of amunations to them through Apapa port which the security agent sieze some of the weapons from them..has Nigeria expose those inolve with that transations of shipping weapons to the land illegally…so fight them back because they are determine…they are brain wash with their religion,,they think man can fight for God…is not meant for man to fight for God but God will fight for his people..if he command fire or any destruction that will surely happen…if their God command them to kill without cause or war let them know that is a fake God..the real God command that thou shall not kill..but he will not allow his people to be swallow up by the enermies,,,he will equip them and send them to war and defend themselves…not killing innocent people who didnt do any wrong
look at them in Syria,,they cant reach theselves with peace accord..after seize fire for some hours they started again till now..they are not civillized and dont want to bcos they are descived from what their leaders teaches them..they think they are killing for God and dieing for God….which is not the right way..so stop them with every means of fighting back..let their leaders ouside world like Saudi Arabia,Oman,Bahrain,Qatta,Turkey ,And some respected muslim nation teach them what is the way to serve God not to kill for God or die for God,,,,but not these nations Iran,Lebanon,irak,palestine,somalia,northern mali tuarek ,,if theres any agreement with them it not surpass surrendering to the government and repenting from evil way…and teaching them what is right from their leaders
I feel lyk cryn 4nigeria! D way GEJ z handling dis issue z more provoking 2me than d bombing itself. Y z he so afraid? I can sense fear in his tone. BH wil stil make more stupid demand in order2 ceasefire. Reason z dt d FG z at their mercy. 4rm al indication, our FG z panting and z ready2 do whteva dis inhuman group demands no mater hw absord. Am cryn 4dis country. Dis z wht corruptn has brought on us. As bible said dt no sin goes unpunishd. Nigeria z payn 4 its rotten system. And if dis BH issue z nt handled properly, it may warrant in BH dropping weapon 4more dreaded ones 2pick.
I hope MR.President will not be so stupid to negotiate with BK. U don’t negotiate with people that kill the citizens u were suppose to protect. By de way, what was de objectives of this BH?. They said they were against western ideals and there education, but to my surprise, de so call BH are still benefiting from western ideals eg, they are using Oyinbos’, bomb,phone etc. Instead of them using Oyinbos’ gun i expect them to use bow and arrow like their father before them, and use horses and donkeys. Let me tell u something MR.President, de moment u negotiate with this useless people, that will be de day u become irrelevant in de history of this nation. Pls MR. President, don’t even think of it. Let them continue to kill one another in de north. It’s there baby. They know they can never do such thing in de south, once a single bomb is drop in any part of south nigeria their father knows that will automatically brings nigeria to an end, and there so call father can not allow that to happen cos they know it will be there waterloo. For the sake of all the innocents soul that BH had killed, MR .President pls don’t even think of answering there stupid call. They just want attention. They even suggested S.Arabia as there meeting place. U know what, that is where they get some of there money from. We all know that S. Arabia is de home of terrorist. I say to hell with BH and the negotiation.
Why must so called boko haram will be the one to sellect where to have they confrence not diologue by pointing saudi arabia so that they will snig nigeria as islamic country(na them fathers) Muhammadu Buhari can never rull nigeria again noting like diologue with those barstad, my advice to(Mr president Goodluck ebele jonathan) he should not listing to those folls why they pointed those people is because they want nigeria to be islamic country which is not posibke, for the demolished of mosques that is zero to rebuild it what of innocent people that has been killed by Boko Haram and churches, they will soon confece don’t be supris that Buhari hand is there,
Thanks.
The foolish mindset of people u called Boko Haram, may God reward u acording to ur did.
Congratulations Gen Buhari. It’s now obvious that you are the leader of Boko Haram . You should be ashamed that your name was mentioned by this devilish set of idiots. who knows your plans over meeting at Saudi, the headquarter of would terrorism. But do you know what? God will see you through .
The truth is that this Country is totally dead. Is only existing in papers but not physically. Otherwise how can terrorist group that have been maiming , killing and destroying billions of property have the guys to give conditions to the govt before negotiation ,who are they to call the shots if this govt is not a sitting duck govt. they are suppose to be rotting in jail. And as it maybe this regime will secretary pay them compensation and abandone the familys that was slain. We shall watch and see. Look at Massob how many of them ate in jail. And police will hastily show their bravado when it comes to issues relating to Biafra ,yet cant stand up to the so called Boko haram, this country needs to redefine and discourse it’s existence ,else when it will explode it will be worse than Yugoslavia, time shall tell
BOKO HARA HAVE FINALLY CONFIRMED THAT BUHARI IS THEIR FOUNDER, MAJOR SPONSOR AND MENTOR. NIGERIANS NEED NOT LOOK ANY FURTHER FOR PROVE.
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT SHOULD USE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO ARREST THAT LANKY FULANI TERRORIST. HE HAS DONE ENOUGH DAMAGE.
BUHARI IS THE ONE WHO ACTUALLY CHOSE THE PLACE OF SUCH EVIL GATHERING CALLED DIALOGUE WITH DEVILS BECAUSE HE KNOW THAT HE MUST BE ARRESTED IF SUCH A DIALOGUE IS HELD IN NIJA SOIL. MR LANKY SHOULD KNW THAT SOUTHERNERS ARE NOT FOOLS. HE SHOULD JUST BE READY TO FACE THE MUSIQQQ.
Gen mohammadu bokobuhari.will be northern president come 2015
THE TRUTH HAS JUST BEING TOLD. FOR THE BENEFIT OF DOUBT, MUHAMMADU BUHARI IS THE KING-PIN OF THE BOKO HARAMS. MOHAMMADU BUHARI IS THE MAN BEHIND THE KILLINGS OF INNOCENT NIGERIANS
our God is awsome God, thank u father for reaveling the wickedness of Gen Buhari, i think his time is off, i advice mr. president to seek the wisdom of God in tackling this issue.
If Federal Government want negotiation let him do that with MASSOB first, by dividing Nigeria into two . Before negotiating with boko haram ( Gen. Buhari’s group )
biafra must go
Buhari haram
Nigeria’s case is the simplest one I’ve ever seen. Almost the whole section of the country knows what they want, so why are we wasting time and crating confusions? Is it because we like blood bathing? The nort said they don’t want western education, they don’t want infidels(Christians) in their land. That means,they want to be on their own,they want an independent state. But those few Nigerians who are benefiting from this fraudulent amalgamation called Nigeria are claiming they don’t understand the hand writing on the wall , the time is now ! Lets be specific,
Before 2015… we all know now, that Buhari is a member of BH. because only a member of a giving group can stand for his group and negotiate for her.
It is rather an absurd of the highest order to contemplate negotiation with Boko Haram, let alone negotiating with them.
Are they tired of shedding innocent blood? please nobody should compare this blood sucking demons to the Niger Delta freedom fighter, who fought for their right, come to to think of it, what are these people actually fighter to achieve? an Islamic republic of Nigeria? God forbid
BOKO HARAM we christian are begging you to stop this animalistic bahavour so that peace will reigh in this country. God help us to peace to reigh.
this is all nonsence how on earth can this ppl will be talking of this rubbish who will negoate with who good luck you are just giving this ppl the name and power they don,t have you have to start now to pick up all this fools that their name are in it buhari and others years all this case is setteled and an you will not want to make mistake of dealing with this littel racails b,c they start in north and end in north how far about ppl that can start in east and torched west south and end it in north i know yu will not pray to see this
it is still gowon vs biafra part one onye agbakwana oso
Those who are saying Buhari is a leader of Boko Haram are idiots they don’t know what they are doing totally. The members of Boko Haram have only chosen Buhari to lead the discussion because of the confidence they have in him due to his honesty, sincerity, and past achievements. You guys that are saying he is a member of BH you are stupid, idiots and mad.
Evrybdy knows d obvious dt buhari is d one championing d break of this Nation bt our GOD has exposed him. Let us c how he will rule Naija again.
Nigeia must remained one. Buhari is not a terreo but a true democrat
I want to beleive that mr president will not give in to the demand of this so called boko haram. If he shuld rebuild mosqu, how many churchs is he going to rebuild in the north, if he shuld compasste them then he shuld get ready to do the same to hundres nd thousdands of nig who lost their lifes to the sect.
Buhari is the leader of boko haram come rain come sun and thunder wil scatter his head.
Boko Haram should not be given the free hand to attack & hold this country to ransom. Negotiating with Boko Haram is like negotiating with terrorists. Nigeria does not negotiate with terrorists. If they want their mosques rebuilt they should also rebuild the churches they destroyed. If they want compensation they should also compensate the families they have killed. Giving them what they want without setting a balance in society is pure cowardice & stupidity on the part of the president .
let them go to Iraq,Iran or Afghanistan for the peace bcos this is were they learning islamist so much
after killing thousands of innocent souls boko haram is demanding for negotiation.rubish.they know that their end is near that is why …mr president pls do not stoop so low by negotiating with these enemies of christianity
My friend, Buhari’s political ambition to rule “Nigeria” has evaporated Boko or no Boko haram. CPC can not repair the damages. This is what you get when people reason from the anus.
we’re expecting the best from GOD.
Y buhari nd oda prominent ppl frm de nort, de trut is clear, buhari is de founder of b/h sect.
There is no truth with ds boko harassment ppl. Amodu sherrif (senator) commitd a crime against ds boko harassment ppl wen he was a governor and b4 Goodluck bcame d president. All de while de late Yar’adua was dey evn wen sherif was still de governor (commitd ds sin) dey didnt attack anywhere, den y now a christian and an easterner is de president against de wish of de owners of nigeria? And if it was actually sherif’s sin, den y did it escalatd to de oda states except sokoto de nigeria holy land of de sultan caliphet? Sherif was de governor of borno state and not nothern state. And y was churches and UN HQs in abuja dea major target. Nigerians wake up! and think about this again. Sherif is not de issue, its just a cover up. 08033657038
choice of buhair by b/h is an avenue 4 dem 2 2gether end what dey started in secret. If not y dey no want any south in peace talk.
2ndly, rather than bombing places and later demanded for de arrest of modu sherif, y not start de bombings with sherif’s house, properties, family and relations as it was a battle btwn dem and sherif as a way to rtaliat and express their greviances. And not on different ppl entirely. No! Sherif is not de reason.
all d great ppl in north such as (all former head of state’s & president’s,gov’s,senator’s,house member,Emir’s,northerner enlder’s & state man) are all involvo & gulit of dis boko haram. But let me warn u b careful 4 ur region nt 2 b like SOMAILAR u kw dey b govn by al-sahaab very soon ur wil b govn by boko haram.
By there fruit we have knowned them.thiz anus thinking humans buhari and boko haram.you will dia in hell wit your 7 vegins. Culties, vampeyers. Yeye religuen islamic.
Nigeria is 4 JESUSE come rian come sun
God will help ours, only God can teach ours the rite way go.but i dont think negotiation is the best way
THANK U ALL FOR UR COMMENT. U ALL MADE NICE COMMENTS WITH UR POINT OF VIEWS BUT I DONT LIKE THEY WAY U ARE ATTACKING MUHAMMED BUHARI AS LEADER OR FOUNDER OF BOKO HARAM. BUHARI DID NOT ASKED BH TO NOMINATE HIM FOR THE NEGOTIATN. IT TOOK HIM BY SURPRISE AND HE HAS SAID THAT HE WIL NOT ACCEPT THE OFFER . THAT HE HAS NO AFFAIRS WIT BH. WHAT ELSE DO U WANT TO HEAR FROM HIM. SO LEAVE ALONE . I BELIEVE HE WAS NOMINATED BCOS OF HIS SINCERITY , HONESTY & TRANSPARENCY. 2NDLY, DONT ATTRIBUTE THE BH INSURGENCE TO ISLAM
I agree with Wale on the points he raised; Boko Haram can’t call all the shots. President Jonathan must assert some authourity here.
if the federal govt is goin to negotiate and pay compensations, then what’s good for the good is good for the goose is equally good for the gander. compensations must be paid to Christains innocent people, and all those who lost ther lives in the cause of the bombing.
The solution to a lasting peace in Nigeria is not negotiation with a terrorist group.
It’s now obviously known to all and sundry that the north is as tired as the Igbo’s in this entity called Nigeria.
The best thing for Nigeria is for each etnic group to be independent of each other as recently observed in Sudan.
Nigeria unity is a mere pretence and unrealistic hence it can be likened to uniting a goat and a tiger in the same cage.
President GEJ and other well meaning Nigerians knew this truth but they are afraid of taking d but by it’s horn.
On aburi we stand ndi Igbo. Destiny may delay but will never be denied, one day you will remember the advice of Late President Gadafi to Nigeria.
Let dem go to hell. Anyway dey in hell already. How long shall we wait for justice in ds God forsakn nation. Modu sherif is not a christian, den y bombin de christians place of worship rather dan mosques? Shootn us in market and meetn places?. Bloody ppl! Bloody religion! Bloody nation!

Firstly,this group call boko haram are draging like blind people.No agitation,if 1 may ask what are they fighting 4? What will they say! is it about sherif modu,islamist state or Religion,sharia law,Western Education, leadership or are they saying north can not longer contain oda part of the country? I notice that immediately the presido election the northers and their cohort started this issue of killing.See how they northner are use ,1 _sharia law this law was 4 the poors not for the Rich now boko haram the killed the poor masses and spare the Rich. What foolish hausa cows
Adullahi or wat do u call urself, u say buhari is a sicerity man, honest n so forth, we can sense dat he honest to boko haram, dat is y de call him to be there for dem as de head of their leader, i think is doing dem well by sponsoring dem, so y cn’t dey invite him to join dem, he jst reject de call so dat ppl will nt suspect him. But wat i wnt to say is dat God pass dem all n we shall all see de end to dis problem of boko buhari haram.
Mr president please dont adopt all these conditions given by boko haram. This is a pure monologue and not dialogue. And one has to be very carefull with this inhuman group because they might have a hidden agenda with all those people listed for the negotiation. Remember if the federal government yield fully to the requirements of this inhuman sect, it is capable of encouraging other aggressive movements to reinforce and surface with there unnecessary demands with violence. Lastly i am suggesting that if the government must negotiate with this inhuman sect, let them first consult american security experts to give them the best stratagy to follow in the negotiation. Thank you

80% of northerners hv trust in buhari nt only d boko boys. 4 his name 2 b mention as a mediator by d group does nt mean is a close ally of d deadly sec. Am an ibo guy, i did my nysc at minna. I knw hw crazy northerners are when buhari name is mention. Buhari is more popular than ” jesus” in d north. Pls we ibo shld trust 1 person n bring hm our in d nxt electn. Our problms lies in us. I regret been an ibo guy. Ojukwu my ass
It very unfortunate how some xtians allow religious fanatism to becloud their vision. No muslim in his right senses ever supported the act of boko haram or don’t you still have muslims in ur class, level and association. Secondly Wole soyinka was nominated by MEND to mediate on their behalf does that mean that it was he who sponsored them. Or are all the other people mentioned by boko haram also sponsors of the sect? Think with ur brain and not ur mind. This very menance of boko haram is devastating the north economically and what have you.have u ever thought of that? Islam never teaches violence i wonder where u get ur filthy 7 virgins from ignorantly. If fed govt or even gej does not give in to d demand of boko haram do u know if ur church would be d next thing like human not foolishly and selfish.

We definately need peace in this country wit the Boko Haram but if we are not careful in the way we go 4 it we would erupt the worst problem ever. Some of their conditions should be looked in2. Choice of venue, compensation 2 the family 2 their members killed & reconstruction of mosque are all uncalled 4. Their fight is not a just fight, is an unrealistic reason 4 a fight.
MY TAKE IN THIS WHOLE ISSUE IS THAT ISLAM ALLOWS AND EVEN ENCOURAGES HER ADHERENTS TO LIE, TO DECIEVE , MISLEAD THE ‘ENEMY’, IN THIS CASE THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AND CHRISTIANS IN ORDER TO GAIN ADVANTAGE AND STRICK. THIS IS IN THE QURAN. SO WHO DECIDES NOW THAT THIS IS NOT WHAT THE CASE IS HERE?
THE MUSLIM NORTH CANNOT BE FULLY TRUSTED. LET THEIR LEADERS FIRST COME OUT TO SHOW THEMSELVES . LET GEJ BE WARNED. GOD WILL HELP YOU IF YOU WAIT AND TRUST HIM. PLEASE FOR THE VERY LIFE OF NIGERIA, BE CAREFUL, YOUR SECURITY ADVISER IS NOT GOD, HE IS ONLY A MUSLIM.
Fuck u sautherners who has bad wish 4 the north, all this crises was a plan by u.
Senator Buka, the blood of innocent souls will stand against you on last day, co-sponsor of Boko Haram.
Pls Mr President dont negotiate with evil pple, after killed innocent soul, are they tired of bombing again ? God go punish u. Animals covered with human flesh. Yeye Islamic sect.
My frend, stop calling our religion ”yeye”, Islam is d best religion sofar, dont george d hall group by the act of feu. Be sincere pls. Ok?
