President Jonathan offers amnesty to Boko Haram members

The Minister of Youth Development, Mr. Boni Haruna today May 29th revealed plans by President Jonathan to grant amnesty to members of Boko Haram once they lay down their arms and embrace peace. The Minister revealed this while speaking this morning at the national Democracy Day programme tagged A day with young leaders of Nigeria.
"President Goodluck Jonathan has also declared amnesty for members of the Boko Haram sect. Series of integration programmes have been lined up for the members of the sect who would surrender their arms and embrace peace. Let me use this opportunity on behalf of the Federal Government, to call on the members of the Boko Haram sect to embrace the government’s gesture and key into the amnesty programme " he said
According to the minister, over 300, 000 youths from the Niger Delta region have benefited from the amnesty programme of the Government. He said the beneficiaries of the Amnesty programme have turned from being militants to being wealth generators and employers of labor.

  6. Its a right step in the right direction.
    If we can't end it by the use of force,then we should try dialogue.
    It took a northerner late President Umar Musa Yar'adua to grant amnesty to Niger delta militants even when most Nigerians were against it. Any option to stop this evil called Boko haram should be used.

    This is a slap on the faces of those who have lost their loved ones to Boko Haram! The government is enabling terrorism! They are basically implying 'kill thousands of people, destroy lives and properties and you will be rewarded with amnesty!'
    I know GEJ wants to be the one to put an end to Boko Haram, but he's going about it the wrong way. Who's to say another terrorist group won't spring up after Boko Haram? What's stopping another group from springing up?
    These terrorists are uneducated but they are stealth and know how to diffuse bombs. Imagine what would happen when they government pays for their education and they learn how to make bombs! #wahala dey!

  59. The Goodluck Jonathan administration is an absolute joke, a disgrace, what kind of horrible advisers does this man have? you keep offering amnesty to terrorist groups and there will keep being a terrorist group to spring up after one is down because it will become the easiest means to a life of wealth. If we offer every insurgent amnesty you make a mockery of the good sons and daughters out there trying to get an education in the deplorable universities. There are people with masters,doctorates etc out of jobs in Nigeria how are they supposed to stay out of a life of crime if they see that is how the government pampers criminals and make them wealthy.

  60. What about dis...
    ARMY GENERALS SELLING WEAPONS TO BOKO HARAM?
    (Nine Serving Generals to Face Court-Marshal for Treason)

    TREASON: Chief of Army Staff, Lt-Gen. Minimah is leading the investigation of 9 Generals/Senior Military Officers on suspicion of selling military-grade weapons to Boko Haram.

    Also, the Generals allegedly gave Boko Haram tips on troops’ movement, operations and were involved in illegal movement of weapons from the Nigerian Army armouries in various northern states.

    Senior Military sources confirmed that during interrogation Boko Haram suspects named the officers and Generals as their arms suppliers. The Army’s investigation was prompted by loud accusations from independent foreign media and strong evidence provided by US/EU military intelligence sources that top Nigerian military chiefs were colluding with Boko Haram resulting in the terrorists gaining rapid offensive capability and upper hand over frontline troops.

    THERE YOU HAVE IT, NIGERIANS! How much corruption and indignities can one nation take? How much official criminality is enough? When did treasonable felony become a recipe for successful military career? How can we expect our frontline troops to put their lives on the line for Nigeria when Generals and commanding officers are getting filthy rich on the treasonable felony of selling offensive weapons to terrorists?

    For six months various frontline troops have told us in confidence that they refused to go out to fight Boko Haram because the terrorists always seem to know where our troops were going to be even when troops movement decisions were supposedly made at the last minute. Further our troops told us that Boko Haram had offensive sophisticated weapons such as rocket-propelled grenades, Israeli Uzis, Russian Kalashnikovs, mortars, AK-47 rifles, Bazookas and Improvised Explosives Devices while our unpaid frontline troops constantly suffer from typhoid and malaria fever from being forced to drink dirty water from bore holes...

  92. If this is indeed true, wrongest move. Every Tom, Dick and Harry will pick up weapons and start terrorising the nation, all in the hopes of their own share of the national cake. Look at Asari Dokubo, despite all the havoc he wrecked, he was granted amnesty and today he thinks he has he right to run his bug fat mouth, like his opinions matter, threatening heaven/hell if Jonathan doesn't run/win the 2015 elections. That's what happens when you refuse to put people in their place.
    Also, the Boko Haram folks are fighting for the most pointless reason ever, that's if they even know why they are fighting. What about the youths who have served their country and no job? Will they be justified if they decided to to pick up arms and start their own? Or the various lives that have been lost due to the poor healthcare system of the nation. Will the families of the deceased be justified if they decide to become terrorists unless the government rectifies the situation? No. So why show support for terrorism by granting amnesty to people with the stupid reason for killing. No No No.

  94. Amnesty for terrorists? A terrorist is a terrorist. He will feel insulted by you suggesting he drops his cause - for anything. This is like telling him to embrace Haram. Really funny.

    And how will the Jobless Nigerian youths feel? How will the convicted prisoners feel? How will labour union feel? How will the Families of the slain feel?

  95. I seriously fear for the continued existence of this country with the kind of leadership it currently has. I fear their crass ignorance n stupidity might even pose a more existential threat than the Boko Haram menace. If at this stage and with all the money they've spent n intelligence they've gathered all they can talk about is amnesty, then we are all well and truely screwed. If you don't know the basic modus operandi of your enemy how can you defeat them. Does Boko Haram seem to them like an organisation in need of amnesty? We are talking about mindless pitiless killers who have no discerning sense of rationality or social ethos and this brain dead dumbo president of ours is still 'begging' them to lay down arms. How many times did America offer amnesty to al quaida. And make no mistake these guys are as bad or even than al quaida. If this president doesn't have what it takes to run a country like this, and he clearly doesn't, then he should just respect his limited intellect and leave the scene for someone that knows what they're doing. Its not by force to be president. He's putting the lives of 170 million people in jeopardy..nuff said

If the grant them amnesty the FG should better be ready for more sect and Militant bcos it seems the only way we can get the government to be responsible is by becoming a threat to the country..

  103. GEJ is obviously out of ideas!!! The amnesty offered the Niger Delta Militants still has its issues and he wants to go down the same road with a more terrifying group!

What idea have u brought up all these while, all u are doing is being on blog 24hrs waiting for GEJ to breath so that u start ur critize. Do u people think is easy to deal with terrorist, how long did it take so called America to get hold of Osama and co. Pls my fellow Nigerian let us be realistic and truthful to ourselve and us this time for prayers for God's help and direction on our leaders. instead of this, we are morethan this we all knew what is going on in this country.

    1. Shut up! Did Americans offer amnesty to Osama or Acadia? We Nigerians have a right to be pissed off. If you choose to be as dumb as GEJ then go ahead but don't insult us for expressing our fury.

  118. They granted militants amnesty, now does boys re living large n rubbing shoulders with the high n mighty forgetting all d things they did, now u want to grant boko boys amnesty after all the lives lost n properties destroyed? Don't u think u are encouraging other youths to pick up their arms and join terrorism since it is fast becoming a career path!. GEJ u need to sanction your advisers n administrators they are clearly all in this together. U re d only clueless one.

  120. The situation of the Boko Haram should not be compared to that of Nija Delta, No matter how we look at it, The Nija Delta Militant had fought for a good Course. My Judgement over the issue of the Boko Haram is that the Government should approve a legal right arms for Individual to defend them selves from Boko Haram since they are incompetent.

  121. Boko Haram isn't Political, it's madness. The fact that the sect has put forward demands that they know will absolutely not get met as terms of a stand-still to all the killings point only to that one conclusion. The underlings and foot soldiers might believe in the hog wash of a Western-influence-free Nigeria, but the guys on top are just mad men with too much money and want to just sit back and watch the country burn.
    You don't medicate a rabid dog Mr President... You put it down

  122. I'm usually an observer on blogs when it comes to political discourse. However on this one I would say we have the weakest/dumbest president ever...Btw, all GEJ apologists/trolls should stuff hot burning coals down their throats before you say any thing to me. Thanks in advance.

    As I was saying...If your entire family, your means of livelihood, your sense of security, etc were totally annihilated Sir, would you still be talking amnesty???!!! Clueless cow! I'm from the ND and even I concur that the Amnesty program was a rubbish band-aid solution to a grater problem. How much more for these mass killers called Boko Haram! People like Asari Dokubo and Henry Okah are/were living large from juicy contracts while the "minions" still scrape by. Have the pollution and oil spills that threaten their means of livelihood stopped??! Keep on rewarding bad behavior! Just shows the banana republic we live in where people who try to tread the right path are still scrapping by but those who behave like touts get rewarded! You DO NOT negotiate with terrorists Sir. Crazy ones at that! Your spinelessness is disgraceful! Ugh! So heated....

  123. Doro nonsense, George Bush once said that the president of the united states does not negotiate with terrorists, why will ours be different, these people should be hunted and killed cos they have taken lives too
