ReplyDeleteWe all need peace in Nigeria, Let bring back the peace we have been enjoying in 80s and 90s. Please Politicians we need peace from your hearts. Never put sentiment in this issue When it was happening in the Niger Delta the Good people of the North were showing concern and praying for peace to rein in that part of region. Let us all think positive towards each other we are all Nigerians, there was peace and love between us the good people of Nigerian in the past, it is only now that things are becoming worst. Politicians please bring back the peace you snatched from the innocent people of Nigeria. Stop deceiving Nigerians God is watching you. Yar’adua brought peace in the Niger Delta; we expect peace to rein in the north too. Please media, be honest in your reporting, never put religious or regional sentiment. People are suffering in the north.
SCSN,u can't be comparing Niger Delta case with Boko-Haram.Late Umar M.Yaradua called for amnesty,and the boys(N/Delta boys) responded.The same call was directed to Boko-Haramists,u should advise them to accept this.No one will arrest them.But,it seems the call is elapse now.After the call,u know how many havoc they have unleashed?No dialogue,God will punish them.They should be ready to kill all Nigerians,including God,if they can.But,I know,they can never achieve that.They will only succeed in killing their sponsors,executors,themselves & their sympathizers(If SCSN involve).

ReplyDeleteThis so-called meeting means that there are people who know these Boko Haram guys. The arrogance of withdrawing from a superior negotiator means that the facilitators have strong sympathies with the terrorists. Or, would they prefer I call them 'freedom fighters'? The FG condescends to talk to people who have provocatively killed several innocent people and someone has the temerity to compare them to the Delta insurgents. Would the seriousness FG was to show mean agreeing that Nigeria should close all secular schools, ban Christianity, proclaim the Shariah law. and introduce purdah? Some people in the North seem to be blaming the FG for the debacle of the Nigerian state. Do they forget that we are where we are today through the mismanagement of our common patrimony by past government dominated by northerners? let's get real!

ReplyDeleteNa wah ooo! I couldn't read your comment without consulting my dictionary. But I must admit that it (in simpler english)makes sense.
Don't you think it high time we listening to those clamouring for Conztitutional Review? All right thinking nigerians should work seriously toward the review of our constitution. Undoubtedly, it is the only way out of these mess we put ourselves. Nigeria should remain an entity not to be broken by greedy, substand elements who would like the entire wealth of the nation be totally absurb by themselves. Nigeria is one, and by the Grace of God, will remain undevided.
