Terrorist sect Boko Haram yesterday said they were ready to ceasefire but gave conditions:
1. Former Head of State, Muhammed Buhari as leader of the negotiating team.
2. Dialogue must take place in Saudi Arabia, not Nigeria
3. Arrest and prosecution of former Governor of Borno State, Senator Ali Modu Sheriff.
4. All their members who were arrested must be released immediately.
5. Their wives and
children who were displaced following the crises should be rehabilitated
into the society
Presidential spokesman Reuben Abati said yesterday that the President has gotten their offer and said it was a welcome development. Should the Nigerian government negotiate with terrorists? Please share your thoughts...
Smart negotiation is important at this point because we can't keep loosing innocent lives.
ReplyDeleteto avoid more blood shed, the FG should do something.
Americans dont ever negotiate, yet they get through the craziest crisis..for their mind now dem be terrorist..Jonathan shud ask Obama for advice, dem go to blow all of them.. Rubbish
DeleteWho in d world negotiates with terrorists?even jack bauer doesn't even consider such stupidity. Buhari that is d leader of d group in d first place they r choosing him.what are they fighting for or rather killing for?did d south east or south west or south south take away the onions and beans from them?boko una generation.
DeleteShould the Government continue to watch them killing our people and do nothing ?
ReplyDeleteWhat has the Government done to Senetors involved ?
Should the Christians live in fear always ?
Should Gej continue to apologize and make lame excuses ???????????????
For the peace of the nation and those of our people in the North let Government do whatever they have to do to stop all this killings .
I dont believe the government should negotiate, but looking at the terms, there might be a need to negotiate as long as there are no financial compensation to them
ReplyDeleteFUCK DEM IDIOTS AFTER KILLING SO MANY PEOPLE, DE'VE AFFECTED SOOOOOOOOO MANY FAMILIES, NOW DEY WANT TO NEGOTIATE. MAY THEY ALL ROT FOR THEIR WICKED ACTIONS, THEY WUDNT HAVE STARTED DIS BARBARIC ACT IN D 1ST PLACE, WATS D GUARANTEE DE'L STOP AFTA D NEGOTIATION?? #NONEGOCIATION.
ReplyDeletehmmmmm! what a condition!
ReplyDeleteCheap conditions..they shud think of other ways to tackle this bastards..ahh! America ooh my America.. No negotiate anyfin
DeleteTheir conditions are laughable. Who will rebuild the churches they destroyed. Who will rehabilitate the families they render fatherless, motherless, orphans etc. Government can negotiate with them but not on their terms.
ReplyDeleteYes they should negotiate with them. The late yar adua did us all a favour with his amnesty programme. Today ex militants are donating relief materials to flood victims.
ReplyDeleteIt is possible that some youths in the south east and south west might want to start their own so that they can be "rehabilitated" too,but that's not enough reason not to negotiate with the boko haram,its a small price that we have to pay for peace to reign. And let's not forget one thing,we are not Americans,our govt don't have the weapons or strategy to fight boko haram.
D Fed Gov hs all it takes to quench BH frm inception. It's hs bn a hide & seek game frm hausa/fulani who tink dey ar born to rule & dominate ova a wealth dat dosnt belong to dem.
DeleteIn d 1st instance, dia wasn't any just cause for BH. Most Nigerians wd hv backd BH, If dey hd channelled dia grievances to d corrupt politicians & past rulers who continued to plunder our commonwealth.
If any negotiation must tk place it must nt b in dia terms. BH & dia sponsors must face d musick, dia properties confiscated to rebuild d churches & infrastructures dey hv destroyed & also rehabilitate d ppl dey hv maimed & d families dey hv rendered jobless, homeless, fatherless, motherless, childless & spouseless.
Thank you my brother, negotiate my ass.. They shud blow them up and kill all their fam members.. We need a jack baeur in this country. Lol
DeleteOf course not. What were their grieviances in the first place. Why muhammed buhari, it goes to show that he is in alliance with them. They are a complete opposite of militancy in the niger delta although the militants became selfish in their fight but they had a just cause
ReplyDeleteMwah......my tots xzakly
DeleteMschewww....if they can replace the lives of the men, women and children that they have have taken den we can negotiate...but if they cannot replace the lives.....den no one shud negotiate with those devils! I think its become the JTF are finally making intense efforts to wipe dem out that they r tryin to look for another route of escape
ReplyDeleteIMAGINE THE AUDACITY OF THIS STATMENT .....Their wives and children who were displaced following the crises should be rehabilitated into the society ......ON WHOSE BILL???. arent they the ones who caused d displacement.
ReplyDeletebloody fools
"Former President Muhammad Buhari as their negotiating leader....",It's now very glaring his role in the Boko Haram sect!
ReplyDeleteAFTER EVERTHING WILL D PEOPLE D KILL COME BACK 2 LIFE.
ReplyDeleteCowards!!!! The lot of them!!! They should show their faces and not hide behind the masks!! Fools! These people should be cast out! Negotiations should not be in nigeria?? You want to use our money to travel abroad? Twisted govt where graduates suffer and are sent to die in states thanks to Nysc while murderers and cowards are sent abroad (amnesty my ass!!!).no need to encourage these fools by negotiating with them!!! Live by the sword, die by the sword! Gosh I miss the old testament! Just commit a sin and die instantly! #walks away to pray for forgiveness#
ReplyDeleteGbam!
DeleteGbam!
DeleteOn point!
DeleteThank you oooo..
DeleteHell Naw!!!!
ReplyDeleteit's not a good idea to negotiate wit this terrorists cos another tribe will start their own l8t and govt. will keep negotiating. first was nija delta, second is hausa people. who knw s which tribe is next.
ReplyDeleteU just said my mind.
DeleteNo. There is no serious country in the world that negotiates with terrorists.
ReplyDeleteIn as much as it sounds weird,am in support of anything dat will bring an end to dis menace.
ReplyDeleteBut lets not forget dat in negotiation,each party will always shift grounds when d need be,which implies dat FG mustn't see to all their requests. Above all its a right step in d right direction.
~BONARIO~says so via NOKIA3310
Bona nwa that wpuld work of only dee jonathan is not the commander in chief of the boys scout in 9;a would can never negotiatr from the vantage point of a commander in chief of the armed forces like other heads of state. O ga ere kwa gi oooo...... Ng from owerri
DeleteIf Goodluck negotiates with this terrorists he's only telling the whole world and other terrorists groups in Nigeria how weak, confused and depressed he is as leader of the biggest African nation. Boko Haram might surrender now but when it becomes tough again they'll continue killing innocent people. Look at Obama, he came into power in 2009 then bam! Osama Bin Laden got maimed and killed. He has this zero tolerance with any terrorists of any kind. Goodluck shouldn't negotiate with these blood suckers. He should learn the basics of dealing with a terrorist group. God bless Nigeria, God bless Linda.
ReplyDeleteJim
On point!
DeleteAccordin 2 my baby, 'dey are madding'. Who wil negotiate wit terrorist dat has taken d lives of thousands of ppl & nw dey want their own lives 2 b spared. Arant nonesense!
ReplyDeleteOn point!
DeleteRita says...
ReplyDeleteThey should negotiate o! Negotiate being the key word here. Too many lives, money, property and integrity lost in this terrible anomaly. Please they should negotiate we have mourned enough already
Oh please, you are just a baby..
DeleteAbeeeeeeegy d FG Shld spare us d bullshit,enough of dis propaganda!honestly I trust no one!dis country I tire for it,are dey trying to tell us they all dnt knw d masterminds behind dis?we hv so maaaaaaaaaaany negative issues in Naija,so many!see poverty on d rise,bad roads,unemploymnt etc.biko feed ur baby BH,settle ur issues wit dem,and keep us outta dis pple,resolve ur diffrnces,pls no more blood shed!hello linda
ReplyDeleteHow can a nation like nigeria negotiate with a terrorist group. Let's watch and see what comes out of it. Na wah oh
ReplyDeleteNo. These BH are all bastards. Why maim so many to get attention? I wish I have so 'powers' to fish them out, disarm and torture them to death over a week.
ReplyDeleteWhat happens to the Fathers brothers, uncles that have been killed. The Mothers, sisters aunts, cousins that have been killed. What of the families that have scared for life......We need to bleed for our neighbours regaless of what the outcome will be....(I know it will never happen in Nigeria) What Justice do we have for them, how do you go and tell them we have caught the people but we are giving them amnesty. What do we say to the families of corpers that were killed (The youth , our future). Are we afraiad of Boko Haram. A NEGOTIATION WITH THEM INDICATES WEAKNESS and indicates we are afraid of them and I can bet you we are heading for destruction as a country, cos firt it was MEnds, now boko Haram, some group will still spring up. The government thinks we are fools. They have failed the Nigerian people. I am trying to imagine what these families are thinking....Linda, there is a reason not to negotiate with terrorist and that reason is the fact that they may steal, kill, maim us, we might bleed, and they may take our lives, but we should never ever give up our freedom. WE SHOULD NOT NEGOTIATE, WE SHOULD ROOT THEM OUT....
ReplyDeleteWe all know we have a weak president, he will do everything stated above and more sef.
ReplyDeleteThe Nigerian goverment shouldn't be negioiating with terrorist in the first instance but govt has set a precedent by negotiating with the MEND group in the past. This gives the terrorist groups an upper hand.
ReplyDeleteWell, its a start. I think they should. Janetty
ReplyDeleteNegotiate? why? because power must remain in the north? All these heartlessness started when Buhari lost the last elections. There should be no negotiation whatsoever. Without negotiations, that means they are eventually going to kill all southerners with time.
ReplyDeleteThe solution to this problem is that The North and south should disintegrate. The south should gain Independence from Northern Oppression and move on as a different Country so that the blood sucking people can have their own country and continue to kill themselves if they want.
Their tomatoes, maize, groundnut and carrot will sustain their Economy. They are too greedy for the Oil money. If they can, they will kill all the Southerners so that they have complete control over that Oil.
Human nature eh, "come and share with us" Is not the same as "come and kill us"
Why can't Goodluck Jonathan seize this opportunity to separate the South from The greedy north? The South can do very well without them. For me as an individual, I do not need them in any way what soever.
Joy
Why won't Buhari be the leader? Is it not because he lost Elections that the killings intensified? Sorry ther wish cannot be granted.
ReplyDeleteWhat does the North contribute to the development of Nigeria's Economy? = Ground nut and Tomatoes. Yet they want to be in control so that they can connect pipes to the North and build refineries in the North while Southern youths remain jobless.
Why can't Buhari say something to condemn the killings if he is not the mastermind. Come chop no be come kill o.
There demands re a bit reasonable,buh y shud d negotiation tk place in saudi arabia,y shud d frm gov b arrested.Governor cn work around dat buh jst pray they kip their side of d bargain
ReplyDeleteCan someone please lend our Presido Idiagbon's strong heart so that he divides this country once and for all. They are asking for too much.
ReplyDeleteTheir people were the ones who ruled and destroyed this country with corruption.
The solution is Nigeria should just divide into two. Let them rule themselves, if not the killings will continue until one day they will plan a genocide and then take over everything.
I am not from Niger Delta, but I want to be free from Nothern Subjugation.
No, We shouldn't give into an negotiation with the terrorists ..
ReplyDeleteThese people need to know that they are a different people from the south in every way. We are not related at all. They will be better by themselves and free from the South. They are violent while the South is not. Let us divide this coutry already and see if their tomato can buy them bombs. spew!
ReplyDeleteSomeone out there please help us divide this country already. The president does not have the guts to do that.
ReplyDeleteFOR WHAT!!! THE MANY LIVES THEY HAVE RUINED!!! NAH THIS IS A VERY WRONG DECISION BY THE NIGERIAN GOVT. WHEN YOU START NEGOTIATING WITH THESE PEOPLE, OTHER GROUPS WOULD TAKE THE SAME ROUTE AS THEY HAVE DONE. #ABSOLUTELY ZERO MERCY 4 TERRORISM! ME SEF GO CARRY GUN OOH...
ReplyDeleteNa wa o! Wetin we no go see for this Nigeria. E don reach make me too go start my own rebellious group den call for negotiation and amnesty o! Chei.
ReplyDeleteI don't think the government should negotiate cos more groups will arise and continue to make such demands.
Oga Jona please stop being scared of Buhari and Babangida. They cannot do nothing to you. Move this country forward. We are solidly behind you. Let them rule their Northern Protectorate. We don't need them in any way. People who want to win election against the people's wish. I must rule by force syndrome!!!
ReplyDeleteIdiots. These are ridiculous conditions.
ReplyDeleteWelcome development? Really? A country where terrorists/militants are negotiated with, & unarmed dissents are jailed/murdered. Sadly Ironic. They should take a cue from the American govt who dealt with Al Quaeda & even took the fight to their own land & eventually whacked the life off their dirty, cunning, blood-thirsty bastard leader (osama). I'd totally lose faith/hope in this country if the govt decides to negotiate. What then happens to the thousands of innocent 'wives & children' they displaced & murdered in cold blood? Selfish beasts. You know what I think shouldn't be negotiated? RESTORATIVE JUSTICE to the families of the innocent lot killed, & RETRIBUTIVE JUSTICE to the satanic God-forsaken killer sect.
ReplyDeleteI say, wipe the bloody bastards off the face of the earth. JTF should take them out back, & have bullets put through their brains, then 'promptly' declare a ceasefire after killing them.
Thank you dearie.. Wipe the mo'fuckers off..we don't need them anyway..God bless you, you are so in the spirit with me..
DeleteNo Negotiations at all. Divide the country and let them go kill themselves if they like.
ReplyDeleteWithout Negotiations, the killings will intensify. So Divide already let us see how they will cross the borders to come and kill Southerners. Greedy lot.
Jesus! I didn't realise dat naija government r dis stupid until now. Dey can as well sign the country into dia hands. Infact, naija needs people like me in d govt.
ReplyDeleteNot possible! Divide this Nation into North and South. Must they kill all southerners before we see the handwriting on the wall. If you negotiate now, the next thing is that they will Demand for Nigeria to become an Islamic State.
ReplyDeleteSouth please form your own Nation and free yourselves from this mental slavery.
Why is there no comment on such a sensitive issue yet?if its about someone getting pregnant or some amebo gist torrents of comments wouldda been rolling in already.well I don't think d FG shd dance to their tunes cos another sect would spring up n give conditions just like these ones n expect a swift response,call their bluff!
ReplyDeleteNawa ooo imaging boko haram, giving conditions, i fear 4 this country
ReplyDeleteBuhari and Babangida plus our Senators please form your own Northern Nation and rule them. Is it greed for oil money or just love for Nigeria that is making you shed so much blood? The South does not need you. Not that Jonathan is the best no.
ReplyDeleteCome future elections, our eyes are wide open now and we cannot vote for you. Go and rule your Northern brothers. South- South
South-East and South- West is no longer interested in voting a Northerner to rule us oooo.
On point!
Deletein my own opinion Government should not dialogue with any terrorists whether BOKO HARAM or any other groups, militant, or what ever there are called,because dialoguing with them will not end terrorism in Nigeria,because when Government negotiate with them now maybe give them what they want. possible they may stop the violent in Northern Nigeria, sooner or later another groups will emerge they will want settlement too, which way Nigeria.
ReplyDeleteIt is a welcome development.
ReplyDeleteI am a proud muslim but I say a big fat NO to negotiating with terrorists, they should all be rounded up and jailed or executed by firing squad sef. They lived by the gun and should die by it. After causing so much pain and suffering for innocent people. Displacing people and businesses. Selfish violent idiots, my religion preaches peace so I don't know what version of the holy Quran they chose to read.
ReplyDeleteThe government should not negotiate anything else it will be prelude to many more terrorist groups and that will be a new cash cow. No one should thrive off terror and bloodshed. Absolutely no one.
Bless u
DeleteWell we d citizens n fed. govt. of dis country r no fools. Negotiate we blood sucking humans beings 4 wot na? if dey wnt al des tins mentn 2 b done let dem go n bring bak d lives of all dos dey killed,churches burnt n homes destroyed. D God we serve dosnt sleep n he wil surely expose dem jst d way he has started doin nw. Blood sucking idiots.
ReplyDeleteAre u freaking kidding me???release deir members,and rehabilitate deir families?what happens 2 all d thousands of pple dey ve killed,displaced n distabilized deir life on earth??negotiating is nt an option,am so pissed rytnw...and dat is why d amnesty granted niger-deltans wz a bad idea cos every tom,dick n harry wld jst misbehave n ask 4 amnesty.
ReplyDeleteThis ΐ§ unthinkable, who α̲̅яε̲ they †✆ be giving conditions ? When they should be pleading Fø̲̣̣я̅ amnesty. Damn
ReplyDeletesome of those demands are outrageous i just hope the govt do the right thing
ReplyDeleteI think d government should give dis +ve development a try. Altho dese their conditions r sorta funny.the two parties should pls reach an agreement At least for d sake of those of us posted to northern states.
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't seem right, the person that made that anonymous call spoke in English which is unusual for the Boko Haram sect, I won't be surprised if they deny this after, but I pray this bloodletting stops soon.
ReplyDeleteI dunno ooh! Kinda confused buh it shows that they themselves re tired
ReplyDeleteThey can become saudi citizens oooo we no need them abeg. No to negotiation yes to prosecution for the blood they spilled. The govt negotiated with militants in the delta and the result is the menace of civilian kidnapping. Lindalicious pls ooooo after all coments on this thread publish the result of the opinion poll
ReplyDeleteTheir wives and kids would be happier in afghanistan and syria and we would be happier to know that they wonbt be here spawning more minions. Don't negotiate. Destroy them.
ReplyDeleteThis is the chance to break up 9ja. Buhari can be their president. They can install extremist islam in their own new country and be on thir way to the abyss like somalia sudan and syria.
ReplyDeleteA COUNTRY THAT HAS NO OTHER MEANS TO GET RID OF TERRORISTS BETTER NEGOTIATE... THAT IS ALL!
ReplyDeleteIn developed countries like America, Government NEVER negotiates with terrorists (and even if they do, they don't go announcing it publicly) Did they negotiate with Osama Bin laden? Not to sound like a broken record, but I tire for Nigeria o these are murderers who kill out of selfish reasons. Why entertain them? or make them feel they have some power to sit and discuss anything meaningful. Instead we should be plotting on how to capture these miscreants disturbing our peace. We all know Reuben Abati hasn't really been himself since he cross- carpeted into government,ill take whatever he says with a pinch of salt.
ReplyDeletePscheeeeewwwww! So nw they are tired and scared. No negotition should occur. I trust the nigerian millitary soldiers, they would soon finish all of them. Boko haram and all their family members and generations would continue to pay for the slaughter of innocent christians. These should be a means to a source of finding their whereabouts. Boko haram era is coming to an end. Halleluyah!
ReplyDeleteKai! Na wa oo. We shouldn't negotiate wt terrorists bt should innocent lives continue 2b deleted??? Dis kind thin na God hand e dey. I pray God grants goodluck ∂ wisdom 2 handle Dis situation, aftrall twas God who put him there.
ReplyDeletedis is a trick,by dis bloody beast,they av sm intentions nd plans which they are concealing,dis negotiation is jst a step of action,Mr president shld be very carefull.
ReplyDeleteI utterly think not! it shows that they are stronger! what if they renege on their deal nko?especially when the govt is dragging their feet on fulfilling it's promises then they start to give ultimatums, which just gives them more power!(anyway why am i even talking sef, ur presido na MUMU,along with the other foolish advisers that would advise him do their bidding!)Pause for a thought:why are they asking for the arrest of that ex-guvnor?
ReplyDeleteHell No!
ReplyDeleteLinda Abeg let them negotiate. Our government has no solution anyways. Enough of killing innocent people both Christians and muslims. Its defo an open development for FG as they have no other choice anyways.
ReplyDeleteWat kind of yeye conditions are these,abi they are rather begging wit style.God purnish them after killing innocent people.fOoooooools
ReplyDeleteNo be only negociation shld be carried out in saudi arabai. I hv a better sugesstion dey shld go do it in hell rubish
ReplyDeleteLmao!!
DeleteLmao!!
DeleteI don't see an iota of substance in their conditions. R u sure this is all of it?
ReplyDeleteUncle Jona,
ReplyDeleteDont you think negotiating with Boko Haram (Terrorists) will encourage other groups to spring up?
Lindway, We are suffering in here in Warri due to the ban on Okada. It started yesterday 1-11-12. The hold-up and trekking no easy at all. Our governor don release some buses, good move but which road will these buses go ply. The roads are all in bad shape.
My people suffer dey this country sha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hmm...dis is a hard one....bt wat of if dey naw kill our president in saudi?
ReplyDeleteI think the nigerian government should give these animals what they want, so that many lives can be speared! The government has proven to be useless in handling these boko haram animals until now, so it is better for everybody if they can reach a settlement!
ReplyDeleteYou're are just a baby..
DeleteYes they should negotiate for peace. On the other hand they must'nt agree to all the terms of the sect, proper investigation should be carried out on the sect members arrested and the ones found guilty should be prosecuted for their crime against humanity cos they've wasted the lives of promising children n youths.
ReplyDeleteWhat are we sharing our thoughts for..... What GEJ wants to do, he wud do, whether we comment or not, its a fixed thing , our comments wouldn't influence anytin instead it wud just make us bitter, God is watching all of us in 4D
ReplyDeleteWot abt those lives dey hav wasted....the lord will surely judge dem.....
ReplyDeleteNegotiation? Hell No! They didn't remember to negotiate with the families o9f their victims before putting an end to their lives and now they want to be spared and come clean with their filthy hands.
ReplyDeleteThere should be no room for a dialogue sef. These people have no cogent reason for their callous acts. Many lives have been lost due to their malicious spirit. None of theirs (even live stocks) should be left unpunished. The government should not give in to their appeals.
Too many bloods have been shed.
On point!
DeleteIt would be demeaning for the Nigerian govt to fall for their plights. Just imagine. After killing thousands of innocent souls, they're seeking for freedom.. Is that ow its done?. I know the govt will fall for this from the statement from our dear presido "its a welcome development" these guys think they're god. See conditions.. Build duplex, furnish it for their wives + free food. *sigh*
ReplyDeleteSo now they want to negotiate?? After everything.. I thot their reward was in heaven.
ReplyDeleteTha sad thing is that this gormless government is gonna negotiate and enrish these BASTARDS. After all the innocent lives lost.
God please deliver us from cluelessness.
Does anything good come from d devil? These people don't have any humanity in them. If they want to negotiate with FG, let them cease bombings and killings for at least 1 year, and begin a process of disarmament, then they can sit on a round table. As for Buhari as leader, I always suspected he knows more than he's letting on. Why can they use one of religious leaders like the Sultan of Sokoto? God will deal with them at the appointed time.
ReplyDeleteNego-What? Did Obama negotiate with Osama bin Laden?
ReplyDeleteThey should use the money they stole to invite the American's Team to come and deal with them if they can do the job themself.
What a shame. Gbogbo awon Idiot
Oh! God bless you..invite mercinaries wen no dey hear go. Dem go finish dem
DeleteAlas! The Grandly Crazy Outcasts & Nitwits (GCON) of Northern Nigeria and their blood-thirsty hounds have reached the bottom of their hit-list only to realize that they’re still light years from achieving their evil plot…..or maybe someone has told them that elections might not hold there in 2015 if they continue their maniacal bombing spree……..A gang of retards who believe the nation owes them!! Reminds me of their partners-in-crime from the Niger Delta who, under the guise of agitating for resource control and environmental rehabilitation, committed equally heinous crimes!!! Oya, oga GEJ give them their own share of the national cake…..What a shame! A society that rewards/promotes militancy, criminality, nepotism, ethnicity, tribalism, federal character, bigotry and other vices but consigns merit to the back-burner!! God will help us.....
ReplyDeleteWelcome development huh?...how many times did the Obasanjo administration negotiate with the south south insurgence?i mean this is a sick,unbecoming development.what does this portray us as?weak,?strong.?or stupid. NIGERIANS,IT IS THE DOG THAT WAGS THE TAIL,NOT THE TAIL THAT WAGS THE DOG.HOW CAN A MERE MUSLIM SECT CONTROL A MULTI TRIBAL NATION OF OVER 160MILLION PEOPLE?THIS IS A CASE OF NEGLIGENCE OF DUTY ON THE PART OF THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT,A SLAP TO THE FACE.AN INSULT TO OUR 52YS OF INDEPENDENCE.WHERE IS THAT YORUBA FANI LAWYER,WON'T HE TALK NOW?OR HE WOULD ONLY TALK WHEN HE READS ACHEBE'S NOVEL...NEGOTIATING WITH BOKO HARAM IS A NO NO FOR ME.
ReplyDeleteWord!
DeleteTruth be told, its neva a good idea to negotiate with terrorist but since we do not have wat is takes to put a stop to terrorism in the country, i suggest the FG shud dialogue with them. we shud also not forget in a hurry that FG once negotiated with kidnappers.
ReplyDeleteAboki, FG hs all it takes to put a stop to BH!
DeleteGod dey!!
ReplyDeleteNigeria Govt should never make d mistake of negotiating with terrorist that have brought so much pain to country. I have never seen when Govt negotiate with terrorist. What Federal Govt should do is to take a hint from what has been proposed. If we may ask, why should Buhari head of d negotiating team? what is the impact of those Govs mention in d boko haram saga. These are questios begging for answers. Fed Govt must b very careful

ReplyDeleteY not? If dat will bring about peace nd an end 2 d killing of innocent Christians.
ReplyDeleteThe world over, No Responsible Government negotiates with Terrorist, Nigeria should not be an exception. We can show the world how irresponsible we are to negotiate with people who have killed children and bombed innocent citizens.
ReplyDeleteIf it will bring peace and put a stop to bomb blast and all, d negotiation should be welcomed.
ReplyDeleteif d govt negotiate wit boko haram, the president should be impeach. What a shame to dis country....
ReplyDeleteYes. Because they did the same with MEND and co. they set the precedence for this in the first place. Will not agree to the Saudi Arabia nonsense.
ReplyDeleteYou are a buffoon!Did MEND kill anybody?Were they not fighting for a just cause?
DeleteDon't compare MEND with these senseless,blood sucking Muslim demons!
they done try sha but i dont accept killing of ex-governo that one na evil oo. But y saudi?
ReplyDeleteIts sad,if they don't negotiate,lives will continue to be lost
ReplyDeletedid anybody negotiate with osama)))
ReplyDeleteLet them..
ReplyDelete1. Bring back to life all the innocent souls they destroyed..
2. Restore all the homes, properties & livelihood of the people they wrecked..
3. Rebuild all the churches they bombed.. E.t.ç.
Or let them shut their infidel port hole of a mouth.. Good riddance to an exceptionally bad rubbish..
Nediva..
Right on!
DeleteUhmmm only in Nigeria o....Absolutely rubbish!!!! the awnser is Absolutely NO....If they negotiate now...and Boko Haram is dissolved (unlikely) another terrorist group will spring up (Boko Haram with a different name) and the cycle will go again...If Nigerian goverment is helpless let them ask for help from the western goverment...They will wipe out out Boko Haram before you finish calling their name....Boko Haram is a crude unsofisticated wannabe terrorist group who are able to cause a stir in Nigeria because we lack security of any kind.....
ReplyDeleteWhy are they asking for BUHARI? I hope Buhari is not part of them and their financier.....why SAUDI ARABIA? if they want the govt to release their pple ...how about the lives of those lost from their stupid act?
One day sha..God will intervene and restore Nigeria's glory....
IDIOTS!!! Who negotiates with murderers? After killing innocent people, they want to negotiate! Then they will ask to be settled and reintegrated into society...how can these animals live amongst sane human beings?
ReplyDeleteWelcome development my A**. With all those ridiculous conditions? These stupid incompetent sitting ducks masquerading as leaders never ceases to amaze me with their stupidity. Where do you even start to make concessions? Make dem go hug mud water transformer jare!
ReplyDeleteStupidity is the word!Fools like them to say it is a welcome development!
DeleteDis is arrant madness!I have openedly critisized it on twitter n I won't stop.Jonathan would b d worlds greatest weakling if he negotiates with terrorists! What kind of country is dis anyway? How can pple who deserve nothing less dan death 4 wasting d lives of numerous innocent Nigerians b negotiated with? Is Jonathan so chicken hearted dat he can't do anytin about d situation? What happened 2 our armed forces? Are they all lily livered? These are TERRORISTS 4 christs sake! It is very obvious dat Joeboy knows d sponsors of dis sect n Buhari is 1 of dem! May d souls of dose killed by boko haram continuosly haunt Jonathan,Buhari n all involed in dis whole charade to madness! Rubbish! I'm 18 n I can tell how dis rubbish should b combated,while Jonathan is dere giving us press release upon press release! Mtchewww!
ReplyDeleteThey have set a precedence of which we may never be able to manage. Very soon every street will concoct its own unique version of militants/resident terrorists all clamoring for their own share of recognition & loot. Welcome to Hell!
ReplyDeleteI weep for my country. "Welcome development"...indeed! Shoot'em motherf***ers and away with this sects. What with all the maim'n and wanton killings of the innocent they carried out..oh now they wanna negotiate seeing their strength is gradually reducing by the day...#WeShallOvercomeSOMEDAYSoon
ReplyDeleteI will not stop saying thank God we didn't vote Buhari as president because we for dey slavery for inside our own country by now...
ReplyDeleteI think goovernment should negotiate with them cos there's a reason why they are doing what they are doing.so they should be heard.but when they refuse to stop,government should pls take laws into their hands.that's the essence of government.make the laws
ReplyDeleteLyn, that shouldn't be heard of at allllll, it's obvious we know whom the Boko Haram sponsor is, we no longer need evidence, Buhari should be made to face the law, he even said that if he didn't win the past election that the country would be un-governable.
ReplyDeleteDis makes a good movie
ReplyDeleteThe worst thing to av happened to Nigeria is havin a President like Goodluck Jonathan,how culd we av elected dis man who is so Chicken hearted&without a personality???!!I miss OBJ sha!but it is well
ReplyDeleteUnder no circumstance should the Nigerian govt negotiate with BH terrorists.Such a spineless insincere govt,instead of saying an outright NO they'll politicise the situation to achieve their visionless aim of continued looting.
ReplyDeleteRelease all their members so that they will start bombing again?. They only want this talk with government because the sect is now weak,a lot of their leaders have been caught.Let them shut their dirty mouth up.Agents of devil!!
ReplyDeleteno!no!!no!!! u dont negotiate with terrorists haba bros jona have u heard of america negotiating with terrorist
ReplyDeleteFor peace to rain dey should.if it will bring peace oooooo
ReplyDeleteFuck them & their conditions..no negotiations. They either give up or die
ReplyDeleteIf the Nigerian gov even have the slightest thoughts of negotiating with them, then Nigeria is beyond a 'failed' country. You DO NOT and CANNOT negotiate with terrorist.
ReplyDelete1) Who ever they chose as the mediator is one of them.
ReplyDelete2) Although Mr president has done some quite stupid things, i am sure he knows no country negotiates with terrorists.
3) Funny that they are seeking a negotiation about a week from when one of their men was arrested at a senator's house.
They should go for the meeting tho, then we'll know some more people in their "organisation". If we can't get to them, we'll surely get to their family.
I miss Obasanjo!!!
ReplyDeleteA bit late for this terrorist group that has killed thousands of innocent Christians to be setting these conditions. The fact that they want Buhari as leader of their negotiating team can only mean one thing: people like Buhari are the masterminds behind Boko Haram. No, we cannot go to the Islamic spiritual homeland to negotiate and if Boko Haram want their families to be rehabilitated into society, they must first give up their arms
ReplyDeleteIn as much as I want these evil acts to stop, I must say, these guys are JOKERS! All their negotiation terms are UNREASONABLE. Its like asking for a pat on the back after all their destruction of lives and properties. And imagine them requesting the negotiation meeting takes place in Saudi Arabia - to end their acts of terrorism in Nigeria. Seriously, I smell a rat!
ReplyDeleteBy the way who would rebuild the churches and properties they destroyed? Who would rehabilitate the families they rendered fatherless, motherless and even childrenless?
After dealing with each and everyone of them, including ALL THEIR FINANCIERS, we can negotiate. Obviously, they are already losing the fight. These guys cannot be trusted. Terrorism in most developed countries, has ZERO TOLERANCE.
And please, stop equating these cowards with the Niger Delta Militants - they are not the same. The Niger Delta Militants were not terrorists; they didn't go about blowing up churches, and mosques and killing innocent people; they didn't go about disrupting Sunday church services and places of worship; and we all knew the collective cause of their anger - lack of proper development in the Niger Delta region. So they are not the same.
God bless you!
DeleteOf course! They need to negotiate with them and give them what they want... Its all govt fault not boko haram... Just try to make research about the crisis and you will understand that its all federal govt fault.
ReplyDeleteAboki, d fault lies with dia greedy leaders who ruled Nigeria for 40yrs, looting & enriching themselves with oil moni only to turn dia ppl into almajiris & beggars, unda d cova of sharia. Get ur facts right.
DeleteYou are a baby joor..
DeleteI fink they should negotiate and come to a better understanding! Y'all are saying what about the people they ve killed? What about the ones they will kill is the question here.. Wouldn't u want peace to reign for ones? Or do u want them to keep bombing and firing people for no reasons! If they would stick to the end of there own bargain then I say yes they should so that the remaining people alive would be restful and peaceful
ReplyDeleteYou are a baby joor.
DeleteWhat will stop others 2mao from harnessing fear and terrorism. First it was those from the niger delta, now its the Boko haram from the north, soon it will be the yorubas with maybe OPC or so! The president knows exactly what to do, but his reasons for not taking action still baffles me till date, and we keep complaining of attacks and the presidency keeps giving the populace the "we'll deal with them " speech.
ReplyDeleteThis is not a raving from a sanctimonious point of view or that of platitudes but of common sense.
Our president will doom us all with the way he handles terrorism.
God bless Nigeria! God bless me!! God bless LindaIkeji
Can God strike all of them down already!!
ReplyDeleteNo, I don't think so. After settling with them now, a new sect would spring up.
ReplyDeleteMany Nigerians are not objective when it comes to pressing issue like this one.
ReplyDeleteFirst of all,I will put my questions up for objective answers.
When Soyinka acted as a mediator between Niger delta militants and the federal government, was he considered a member of the militant group? Then why must Buhari be seen in the opposite.
When we talk about people been killed by Boko Haram, no one talks about how many Boko haram members were extra judicially killed by Nigerian soldiers which led to their taking arms against innocent souls and structures. Have we questioned the government for killing these innocent people by the Nigerian Soldiers? Well, I am not saying it is a justification for Boko haram to start killing innocent people and attacking places of worship.
When our people use America as example, they fail to mention the failures experienced by the American government and military. Over ten years in Afghanistan with over 40, 000 soldiers, with sophisticated weapons and ammunition, technology but they are yet to fall a small group of people causing harm.
Besides, we should not forget that the American government has been trying to negotiate with the so-called terrorist in Afghanistan since last year but to no success because they break the rules.
We should note important points before we start posting.
After all of this, I still don't see it as an important strategy of bringing peace in Nigeria. In a short time, boko haram will definately fade off and Nigeria will be in peace again.
So, why did BH nt go for d likes of Soyinka? Why shd dey consider Buhari - a religious fanatic who promised to unlease mayhem if he ws nt electd a president? For ur info, Soyinka is nt frm d nigerdelta & nigerdelta hd a worthy cause.
DeleteThis is just blatantly stupid hw can they even consider negotiating with terrorist that have tried to make u look like a weak ass Pres. Or have killed ur people ur citizen that u swore to protect. R u that weak never ever ever ever negotiate with terrorist. They should all be chased down like dogs and killed. If u dare negotiate u will be the first to die cos u av shown. Them they av more power over u
ReplyDeleteDey are no longer finding it easy in carrying out der operations datz why dey are calling 4 dialogue now. We hav lost so many pple to Boko Haram menace for just no cause. Who will build all d churches dey hav bombed? who will rehabilitate d innocent pple dey have killed unjustly? its obvious dey can no longer take the heat coming fro JTF men. why do Nigeria Government go to saudi to go negotiate? 4 what? what an insult! from der condition it clear dat men of BOKO HAram are not Nigerians and dis i am too sure of.
ReplyDeletehell no! I think the nigerian government should round them up and kill them. Nonsense!
ReplyDeletethe Nigerian government should seek aid from U.S intelligence and have that "Taken" attitude "We will find you and we will kill you". You only negotiate with people that have threatened to commit evil not people that have already killed thousands.
You can't call it a truce at that point, they deserve to be brought to justice AKA death.
The only negotiation that should take place is wiping the scumbags off the face of the earth. Bomb and raze their villages to the ground. Bastards! After murdering so many Nigerians, they have the audacity to come up with such offensive terms. Why should anyone negotiate with terrorists? Kill them all!!
ReplyDeleteIn the civil society like Western world. You don't negotiate with terrorist. Lets take for instant..."Boko Haram" they say means Western Education is a prohibited. They are using the latest armory to attack innocent citizens of this great country...Why should Federal Government negotiate with those Beast call themselves men. What about families they have wide from the face of this earth. They all should be executed. Even Federal Government should place surveillance on those people they mention their names, I sincerely believe they are the once behind their activities. They souls of those innocent people that they kill will never never forget FG. if they ever forgive them.
ReplyDeleteAm not surprised that Buhari’s name was mentioned as the leader of the negotiating team. This whole madness started when he lost the election to uncle Jona. If he was not among them or was not happy with the situation why has he not come out openly to appeal to them to stop all this?
ReplyDelete@ Tiodawg
ReplyDeleteProf Soyinka was not seen as a member of the militant group because
1)He was not from that region.
2)He condemned them and also suggested to the Govt on what to do
3)He is an activist and not a politician
4)He didn’t run for election and lost after which this whole madness started.
Do you remember what happened in the north immediately after they declared the presidential elections?
That the implication of what happened.
Why don't they ask GEJ to step down.
ReplyDeleteSo Buhari has been behind this.
They are wasting their time
Buhari as negotiator huh? And the truth comes out. I suppose asking that he take over as president would have been too obvious. And why Saudi Arabia? What do they think this is? Asking that the prisoners be released....sure. Let them talk to the relatives of the people they have killed about being released.
ReplyDeletewhy should we negotiate with them despite all the harm they have caused pple. i think the government is a big coward if it does. i am not saying i want them to continue terrorising pple but i think we should be the one giving them the terms and conditions not the other way round.
ReplyDeleteLookin at all these comments, it baffles me that you all have refused to understand that this is NIGERIA.. Things go the other way round here... We are all shoutin "no negotiation"! "No negotiation!".. It will interest you to kno that negotiations have been ongoin from time immemorial.. Afterall, Gudluck himself said he knows the faces behind the Boko Haram. Do u think if it was that easy to bring them to book, he wudnt have done that long ago?? I'd like you all to understand that this Boko Haram sect is more powerful than the President and his entire cabinet.. The people behind them are high and mighty men of the North. Imagine people being indicted in this whole thing.... Governors, senators.. People of very high political standing..(The untouchables). If they say they are ready to dialogue, we should all go to church and sing halleluyah! Cos this is the best we can get out of this situation..
ReplyDeleteI have surrendered my life to christ.mo ti jawo latoni lo.
ReplyDeleteThey don't have enough bomb and guns again dats y they won't negotiatiom hmmmmm they are 2 funny
ReplyDeleteif there is any sense of moral and effectiveness in the Nigerian govt and seek peace and unity they should take a cue from the united state of america's govt of not negotiating with dis so called terrorist they have caused sorrow and pain to my fellow Nigerians they should hunted down and brought to justice....if they end up negotiating then what stops more terrorist to come up with there own beliefs and use violence to pass it across.....NO NO NO to negotiation with terrorist
ReplyDeleteSo dey care 4 deir own families? After makin children fatherless,wives has turn 2 by force widows.if at all d govt shud negotiate then d govt shud get ready 2negotiate wit d affectd masses.
ReplyDeleteSm of u guys are suppose to tink nd talk not 2 talk b4 tinkin. muslims are no terrorist,judge not a man by his religion but by his character. and pls am not a muslim.
ReplyDeleteif them like make them negotiate with the robbers too, a bunch of confused fellows
ReplyDeleteHELL no!!!! fuck them there members shld be realsed???? All the ppl they killed are they going to resurrect them???plssss joor the government need too caught them andshoot them in there eye.
ReplyDeleteI pray unexpected death visit badluck Jonathan and the group called boko haram, so that the soul of those erased from the surface of the earth by PDP and north politicians to rest in perfect peace.R.I.P democracy
ReplyDeletewe have a weak government, boko people live in 1 state, so they want to tell me they don't know who this people are, jokers... brainless law enforcement, home grown terrorist are easy to find.
ReplyDeleteThis is d stupidest thing I've seen or heard of this year! What guts??? What's going on??? They should not negotiate anything! Let them keep killing... I'd rather die bcos I'm a Christian than live accepting d terms and conditions of devils! These guys are anti Christ! // boko haram has been killing innocent Nigerians and all of a sudden, they want to negotiate in d middle east?? Wtf??? Their families?? They even have families?? Who has seen d movie unthinkable???...
ReplyDeletethat's some bullshit negotiation terms, but since some of the government officials are even involved with them, they cant do anything about it, even the senators who are involved have not been apprehended, so the only option we have is to negotiate, and how convenient that the head of the negotiation team would be buhari, though i dont support the negotiation venue, in saudi arabia, boko, will have enough supporters, if they bring an army and start kidnapping the team, you know this means war.
ReplyDeleteNo. The govt should not negotiate. Govt shld figure out a way to tackle the issue but negotiating is out of it. So they think they can kill innocent pple and then ask govt to come to the table. they shld ve negotiated first. They can go to hell at this point.
ReplyDeletesee guts sha!!!! their wives and kids that were displaced shld be compensated. God punish them. What abt the families of the people they kiiled? Govt should not negotiate any rubbish. they shld resurrect the innocent pple they have killed first. Nonsense.
ReplyDeletewhat a shame on nigerian government negotiating with terrorist,there was good for doing that with niger delta militants,what is there reason for taken arms to the street..thousand of innocent life has been lost because of this act...they should be treated as thieves,terrorist...
ReplyDeleteThey should be used as example to everyone that individual actions and motives,interest or decision cannot outstand that of our great country,if not greater things will happen as the youths are no longer smilling....
A criminal is one who commits a crime.
ReplyDeleteA crime is punishable according to the constitution of the federal republic of Nigerian.
Is terrorism a crime?
Is militancy a crime?
Is armed robbery a crime?
Is kidnapping a crime?
Is corruption a crime?
Is stealing a crime?
Is murder a crime?
Is manslaughter a crime?
Should a government that has vowed to defend the constitution of the federal republic of Nigeria grant amnesty to criminals or persecute criminals according to the constitution that they have vowed to defend and uphold?
Nigeria shudnt negotiate with terrorists.. It jas isn't right, dat only shows ow weak our government is... What assurance do we ave dat de won't go bak in killing.. Once a Thief is always a Thief.
ReplyDeletewhy saudi arabia...is the saudi in this also..i dnt get it...this boko people dey travel well well..kai..na wa ooo..
ReplyDeletesome Nigerians never cease to amaze me. NO DECENT GOVERNMENT NEGOTIATES WITH TERRORISTS. they should be defeated and crushed like the cockroaches they are and not negotiated with. if big shots like osama bin laden and Gaddafi and Saddam were killed like rats what more these Nigerian hoodlum terrorists?? Nigeria is a failed state and should be re- colonized if they even consider negotiating with terrorists. and as for BUHARI. if he doesn't come out publicly and denounce the proposed role of mediator he should be arrested at once and branded the chief terrorist, arrant nonsense!!!!
ReplyDeleteAgreed, they have done alot of bad things, lets leave them to God for judgement but if they want to negotiate for peace, why not? The only thing is that their members (those to be released and otherwise) should remain under check to prevent future insurgence and they should also be kept busy- probably with a job or something
