But there are those who still think that the government shouldn't have negotiated with these terrorists. After the cut, you will find an article from Dr Perry Brimah of Ends.ng, about why Nigerians should reject these ceasefire deal. As for me, I support peace anytime. Too many innocent people have died unnecessary. But read and tell us if you agree with him...
Nigerians Reject Ceasefire With Boko Haram Terrorists; Use The $1bn For War, not #Election2015: #VictoryForNigeria
The
people of Nigeria vehemently reject the announced ceasefire with Boko
Haram terrorists at this last hour as the 2015 presidential election
approaches. It defies reason how and why the Nigerian government will
debase the collective intelligence and humanity and extinguish the hope
of Nigerians by unilaterally agreeing to a so-called ceasefire with
rag-tag terrorists who currently occupy several major cities in the
north. Bama, Gwoza, Marte, Ngala, Konduga and Dikwa are still under full control of the Boko Haram terrorists.
The
discussions on freeing the 4 month old abducted girls no longer has any
bearing on the process of this war. When entire communities are under
Boko Haram governorship, of what significance is the 234 girls? The 234
girls only comes up for global audiences who have not noticed that since
the abduction, several Nigerian communities have rather fallen under
Boko Haram. The Nigerian leadership must be reminded that the parents of
the Chibok girls have already conducted the burial rights of their
children and sacrificed them for the greater good of the country as God
wishes. Who is fooling who?
The
desire to have a ceasefire with these hopeless, murderous terrorists
who are on the run is treacherous and follows the routine of disgraced
ex-general Ihejirika who likewise allowed periods of peace after
onslaught on the terrorists to allow them recover and recuperate; while
in his hatred for the communities in Nigeria’s north, deliberately
allowing he terrorists periods to replenish their arms and ammunitions
and to forcibly recruit and train thousands of abducted and forcefully
conscripted innocent northern children who will again be sacrificed and
killed in the next battle with the Nigerian military when war resumes.
This fight and cease cycle maintained the genocide of northern youth in
the tens of thousands.
Nigerians
demand fire for fire. We reject any attempt at ceasefire with the
terrorists. We decree that the war with Boko Haram continues every day
as we declare Boko Haram our mortal, eternal enemies to fight till
either of us cease to exist.
What
does President Jonathan plan to do with the $1 billion he borrowed to
“fight Boko Haram” if he is negotiating with them now that we see
#VictoryForNigeria in the horizon, and all we need is to continue the
brave push by our men in uniform and brave Civilian-JTF? Is the $1
billion for the elections in 2015 as most have suggested?
Any
negotiation short of full and unconditional surrender of all terrorists
is treason and an act of terror participation and sponsorship by the
army Chiefs and head of State.
There can be no ceasefire with Boko Haram.
We
the Nigerian people reject any sort of negotiation with these
terrorists who have freely caused us unquantifiable pain without mercy
for the full 6 years of the Jonathan administration under Ihejirika and
now under Maj. General Minimah.

I think that's the best thing...if the fight continues more life will be lost and it wont end...i pray this one step to embrace peace...LIB
Brimah the $1billion is not cash backed. It is 4 supplies on credit. Pls we want peace by all means. Infact Abu Shekau shld be made SA on rehabilitation. Whatever to have peace.
Well...................
Unto Thy hand Oh Lord I commit my nation Nigeria
Yes peace Is all we want, so which kind negotiation Nigeria government carry out with this people? they no let us know. No be to "release" these girls and when their "sponsors" no win election next year they go start again. Negotiate well for peace more than just letting the girls out. End the insurgence
To be honest 'I don't understand the process ' FG always try to act smart ' so many things hidden ' we can't know it all' so many families have being killed, rendered homeless and poor ' the FG has done nothing about that''no money in circulation, no job for the youth, mass failure in exams ' FG has done nothing about that' and u wanna negotiate with people that have caused so many pain and sorrow' well we Nigerians are strong always hoping for a better tmr 'I just pray God lead and direct the youth (supposed leader of tmr)
I see where everyone is coming from: On one hand, negotiating with terrorists means a possible end to all the damage they've caused and resumption of a semi-normal life.
On the other hand, negotiating with them does not serve as a deterrent. They may try to control it and possibly believe the government is now under their control, and may get even more aggressive if their future demands aren't met.
Let's hope it's the advantageous part that comes to being in the long term.
As for me, after reading numerous Muslim former classmates' talk of how they're in support of ISIS as long as they're spreading Islam, I have determined to be wary of Muslims from now henceforth. A good number of them are silent Christian haters and terrorist apologists.
No cease fire please!
Is that GEJ? Lol! Ladies: How to Meet your Dream Man☺♥
The military should fight on please... We really need to take back territories controlled by this blood suckers!
Honestly negotiation isn't the best option for terrorist we should have continued fire for fire and get to the root of once for all
I AM HERE TO READ COMMENTS #sipskunu
I am for it 100%! How many more people do we want dying senselessly?
He lost me when he callously dismissed the Chibok girls as dispensable because their death is acceped by their families. It's easy to be categorical and unbending as long as it's not his kin being blown to pieces. If a negotiated ceasefire is what brings peace, so be it. It isn't ideal, but at least the bombs and loss of innocent lives stop.
Linda, change this, "....have died unnecessary" to "....have died unnecessarily" Thanks.
I don't support this cease fire tingy,too many lives have been lost,it should more of them surrendering nd succumbing to the govt..we don't accept this,coz it just About now nd not the future...let them surrender...

***CURRENTLY IN JUPITER***
Why now? Why are they agreeing now that many souls have gone. More so, federal govt did not mention what boko haram request from them.. the release of sect members in prison? Islamic state? Billions of money? This ceasefire is for Jonathan and his cabinet. Are u telling me there is no justice for the wasted innocent souls? Nigeria my country!!!
There can be no ceasefire with Boko Haram.The souls that were destroyed are crying out for justice.They must be punished for their evil deed.He that kills by the sword shall die by the sword.
dont know what to say,may God help Nigeria.Goldensarah9@yahoo.com
I personally don't think cease fire will do us any good..I have been thinking since yesterday the news broke,why will Nigeria government think of that in the first place! To Negotiate with deadly Boko Haram to free Chiko girls and after they (Boko Horam) will start from where they stopped! Who does not know what Boko Haram want? What they want is to have islamic states where Sharia Law will be implemented,they said they want states that will be 'government of Allah by Allah for Allah..so,why negotiate cease fire with them after which they will start from where they stopped or are they (Nigeria Government) negotiating with them to allow them have islamic states? Federal government have to answer this!...my humble self don't buy this idea of cease fire! Boko Haram should be crushed!
Y was dis agreement not reached earlier? Y did d govt allow d continous slaughtering of innocent civilians by these bastards who ar savages if dey cld hv reached a peace agreement n cease-fire? Just a few days to a supposed final rally to declare ambition to run for presidential elections nxt year and dis? Peace is a welcome development but there's a hidden agenda to this... We ar watchin
Negotiate with BH over the release of the girls only, the rest is non-negotiable.. How won't another group come up and terrorise us again? Negotiate with militants, negotiate with BH too? Hell no! We should not bow to them.. As for the $1billion ehn, some people just want to sell Nigeria back into slavery..
Peace is all we need
If ceasing the fire will bring the girls back and bring peace then no problem. But am sure there is more to this, I don't think negotiating with was the best tactics but let's see how it goes. I hope it gives a positive result if not Hmmmmmmm #onelovefromSnow#
I just pray it ends well. GOD, let ur peace reign in Nigeria
The Deal Has Been Concluded, 200 BokoHaram Sects In Prison Will Be Handed Over To Chad President And Be Flown To Saudi Arabia, As You Are Here Commenting The 234 Chibok Girls Kidnapped Are Already In Saudi Arabia Waiting For The Exchange To Take Place. Don't Usually Comment But Wanna Clear Of Y'll Brain. That's Nigeria For U,1 Billion Mapped Out To Fight Terrorism, Business As Usual Naija For Me And You.

It's good we have peace, on the other hand this means they (BH) will get away with everything they did and no justice for the families and the dead. Another point they still roam free so what is the guarantee they won't take up arms again when they feel like. It's a win loose situation, we really desperate for any peace (and understandably so) we would settle for anything. But my thought is this Government has failed it's people badly for not being efficient enough or effective and decisive in its decision making and we all paying for it. He election strategy is to do it all last minute for political points a lot is not adding up here. But just my opinion
It is sheer selfishness and callous for the FG to negotiate with boko haram at this point of human and blood sacrifice from Nigerians. If FG wanted to negotiate, why did it negotiate right from the first time that Jonathan occupied the seat of power and spare Nigerians the agony, torture and waste of human lives and properties? It is only an ignorant person that will commend the FG on this because the FG only deserves to be dragged to criminal court of justice for complicity in this boko haram saga. How come the FG is not able to tackle a 'mere sect'.......yes! a mere sect! Is a sect richer than the FG? Why didn't the FG use all human and monetary resources it has to nip this sect in bud even before they could assemble? For sure, we know that FG has a hand in it because any insurgency that lasts for more than 24 hours with a recognised FG at the helm of affairs.......naaaah! Even a blind man can see FG's complicity in it. FG shamelessly 'fought' with a small group for over four years and recorded a great casualty in the hand of the small group! Oh c'mon! Tell that to the marines!......even the marines in the far away sea know that the FG are not telling us all that they know about this. it's now obvious that the FG can not protect its citizens so everybody should protect himself the way he knows best. Very soon now the FG will start paying boko haram to help to train our military.....yes! they have been doing it since, after all is it not Boyloaf the militant that FG is paying millions of dollars to be guarding our water ways! What a rot in Nigerian government! All for the selfish reason of the people governing us. All for the coming election but they should remember that there is God.......(I am almost tempted to use 'Diaris God oooo!')
We are in trouble,no one is truly what u think of them,ever wondered what bokoharam pose to gain,what are their demands,since when did d insurgence practically became all about d kidnaped girls?what about the thousands killed,the Christians and Muslims,properties?why would he wish to end it wit a dialogue?why involve neighboring countries to make a fool of us? Negotiation is for people of different boundaries,have they claimed south east?..why can't d APC endorse Fashola and El Rufai so we can vote out diz demons....how can a man play politics with thousands of lives...why so political cautious,why do we call you weak and too gentle but you are d Satan...look people be wise and do not Vote GEJ neither Buhara nor Atiku,diz 3 are demons not men...we must disappoint our parties and hunger and vote a neutral body,dey have made d masses remain hungry so dey will maintain control,u must talk to d few u can and disappoint dem,dey say our vote doesn't really matter but let us try first....Why can't we just make a Change sef,how can u be mocked by thz politicians all d time...learn to see beyond.MAKE A CHANGE #GodBlessNigeria
God bless u for this comment.
The truth is that dis boko haram thing is purely politics. God will judge them all.
If the fire will actually cease, I thinks its a good decision as d Nigerian government has shown dat capturing or putting an end to boko haram is almost impossible. I pray dey let d innocent girls go and put a total end to all dese killings and maiming.
Every Negotiation is a two way thing, they offered to release the girls and a ceasefire, so the question is what was our offer to them??
I can't but to agree 100% wt ur last paragraph. That's d simple reality. U can be surprised at how much sympathy ur yoruba Muslim friends hv for ds pple. God help us.
You're a fool! A big one! How cud u conclude on ur own that muslims support ISIS? Mention the Arab league nation that is in support of there evil acts? And yet u come to say Muslims are in support. ISIS is the new form of Al-Qadar which Islam and the whole muslims community condemned! #Fool
I support the agreement full time
Lots of life av bin cut short
Its a welcome development
I believe we should have agreement for the sake of chibok girls
BORN TO SHINE!!!
Though, I don't support negotiation of any sort. I want to add that Dr peregrima or whatever he call himself is a hater of south south, south east and Christians. This man once wrote an article condemning Jona for not negotiating with Boko but see him now changing tone.
I am in agreement with the peace move. Anyone suggesting otherwise please provide that individual with uniform & firearms to fight the fight alone.
You make no much sense,u dnt deal with fact,FG tried negotiating at first,they even tried amnesty for BH,why because dey were only killing Christians d tag terrorism entered fully wen dey started slaying there own but that's not the point now,and I dnt want to point all ur errors,...I do not support ceasefire in any way but be more factual and constructive next time ok.i get all ur point and more anyways
I'm so against this ceasefire...its meaningless. If the recent updates from the defense ministry concerning the massive success the nigerian army has been achieving against boko haram is anyth to go by, then this is the most appropriate time to nip this terrorist group in the bud. If boko haram can concede to a ceasefire at this point, its bc their morale is currently low due to the recurrent loss of man power and ammunition they've been experiencing at the hands of the nigerian army recently...its only a matter of time before they'll silently regroup and cause grievous unforeseen disasters to this country. In my humble opinion, I think this is the right time for the nigerian army to end boko haram. If they gullibly accept this truce, it'll come back to bite us all wen we least expect it. Goodluck Jonathan should not compromise the safety of this nation just for a clean slate for 2015.
Boko haram or not, GEJ till 2019
there should be a cease-fire, but the military should find measures to corner them without too much civilian blood.
I will say no to cease fire, the blood of our falling soldiers shall never go in vain, why negotiate now, what about the lives of thousands that have lost their lives, has Boko haram told the nation the reason for killing our citizens,displacing them, and giving our nation a bad reputation in the world. Americans will never negotiate with terrorists or take the death of one of his citizen likely how much more thousands. This Boko hara is Politically motivated and I reject negotiation with them. 2015 they might pick up their riffles again.
BUHARI IS A BASTARD AND STUPID FOOLISH TERRORIST
Guy. God bless you
I'm sorry but I remember categorically that in July of 2009 while I was working in Bognor state, all the talk then was about the South-south and granting amnesty to people who were just trigger/machete/kidnap- happy! Once that scaled through, September of that year, BH presented themselves and have just succeeded in achieving the same thing.
I think Naija is just used to rewarding violence and aggression. Even in the hospitals in lagos, I have seen cases where a patient doesn't want to pay their bill after treatment, so they act very rascally, bring a few thugs to threaten, make a lot of noise and the MD will say "Pls, just let them carry their wahala away." meanwhile, patients who sincerely have no funds but calmly and quietly begs to pay half price usually will get turned down!
How much did amnesty pay 5years ago for people not working? Taxpayers money. I'm tired of working 60/80hrs a week to feed people who know how to get things in naija!
Finally, I ask humbly, how long body another body claims victimisation/marginalisation and picks up its own arms. I want peace....but I also want progress. this kind of peace doesn't bring long term progress in my opinion but let's wait and see and as bishop Dammy will say, let's pray for the best.
Fashola I agreed but el-rufai more demonic than buhari and atiku and GEJ.
Does it make any sense to fink s govt might ve been on dis negotiations for a while now, pls we shld learn to fink outside d box.
Anything to restore peace. Too many have gone.
If that is the only option for peace to be achieved,it is okay to negotiate with them.
the war has been on for long with out positive result if this ceasfire can broker peace so be it . As for d $1b the money is for military hardware not cash.
Genuine ceasefire is the best option for Nigeria. Peace and tranquillity will make Nigerian a secure environment and thrive economy for business transactions.
Regarding the requested and approved money by Senate.
I still think Nigerian forces are not equipped enough and everything must be done to ensure Nigerian forces are robust enough to deal with either internal or external conflicts against Nigeria.
Why wil they want to cease fire now that they hav destroyed many lives n left us homeless, destroyin our ancestral villages, i knw dat they hav smthyn in stock,please lets not be relaxed and be caught unawares these pple are nt human beings at al
They don't negotiate with terrorist.u figth them n defeat them.theyv killed many souls.u can't negotiate.why now.n dis is withn nigeria not anoda countries.why do we nigerians behave like this.if those ppl @ d top push us 2 left we go,dey push us 2 rigth we go.so pathetic.itohan
the person that wants war dey him house dey talk rubbish. How many boko haram ppl u don kill... ode!
Dialogue is d best way in settling dispute,I dnt wnt anymore life 2 b lost,d bloodshed is 2 much#tinking#@sheryparker
Mr.Jonathan'a government & cabinet are mostly full of thieves,clueless people,selfish people & unpatriotic people. Let me explain why. Look,the war against boko haram isn't conventional warfare I.e it is not a war against two countries or two known sides. It's guerrilla warfare cos we are fighting insurgents and terrorists that we don't know for certain(even though it now seems like the government knows these people but has just been lying all along that they don't know them). The insurgents/terrorists on the other hand know us and they are fighting Nigeria & everything Nigerian by every means. For them,it's a drawn line already "KILL EVERYTHING NIGERIAN EVEN IF YOU DON'T HAVE A REASON TO"....that's their fuel,motivation & motto, I guess. So, calling a ceasefire with these bastards is not going to change that.
If they see any Nigerian anywhere around them (even if it's in a village) during the "ceasefire" they would still kill him/her without the federal government knowing. You see? In recent times,we have been winning these bastards & their leader has once again been killed by our great Nigerian forces so they're really very disorganized right now & that means with a little more efforts,our military can clear their "soldiers" and mercenaries off. Now,if we were fighting a conventional war against another country, a ceasefire won't have been a bad idea cos if that country breaks the pact,we know where to hit them cos the location of that country is fixed and cannot change from where it is on the map. Here,we are dealing with some guerrilla terrorists that keep moving from place to place & that means that as long as they exist (even under a ceasefire pact), nowhere in Nigeria is safe cos they can just strike a place & relocate. On top of that,they are "claiming" Nigerian territory & that is a threat ....A BIG THREAT TO OUR SOVEREIGNTY & Africa as a whole. That means that they can wake up tomorrow & claim to be a republic or federation or whatever. Eg. Federation of boko haram states.
Look,a ceasefire is only an attempt by them to go regroup,re-strategize & recruit more foot soldiers(which sadly would be innocent Nigerians which they would kidnap undercover again & force to join them). Remember When boko haram first struck in 2009? In just a week or so,former president Yar'Adua's government crushed them & we thought that was it only for them to 're-surface in 2010 bigger and stronger cos we let our guard down. I say "NO" to this ceasefire cos I know it can never favour our nation in the long run. This government is only concerned about winning another term & they probably just want to use this opportunity to get a point for campaigns. Ceasefire pacts would not benefit Nigeria in the long run my people.
God Bless Nigeria.
Why now why didn't they negotiate with BH at the beginning all because election is approaching.they should keep on fooling themselves and not we the citizen...God is watching
Why mst it be Fashola and El Rufai. I dis agree with u..d devil u knw is better than angel u dnt knw
Anyone ever heard the story about the scorpion and the frog? Just that in this story we have two scorpions (BH & FG) and we Nigerians are represented by the hapless frog. Scorpion-BH kills because... Well... They thrive on chaos. And Scorpion-FG has lies inbeded in it's DNA. So while these two scorpions may actually believe (right now) that they're putting their stingers away for the greater good, once they climb on the frog they'll sting it to death... They can't help it... It's their nature.
To believe that BH will just lay down their arms and go quietly into the night is folly (and more than a little stupid), and I strongly believe the FG knows this. So (my thoughts), the FG knows this rather well-timed "ceasefire" might just swing the People's votes their way... And they'd be back in power before BH wakes up and realizes they still have a cache of sophisticated weaponry but lack a target.
Those two he mentioned don't you know them?Fashola is Lagos state governor if u forgot,El-Rufai might be controversial but he has a record for contributing to what Abuja is today,and being d only northerner that once opposed some bigots.me I will go for I different party entirely...and don't say the devil u know is better,it wount get us anywhere.all u need do is run a personal survey on any other new contestant.Gej and those two are no good.
Is it by public condemnation...go and sit down you and your fellow extremists are the fools.
If not for the sake of those girls normally ... You're simply accepting or agreeing to their existence ... Watch out for their violent come back when they think they've been provoked .. That nah werrin make terrorists for Middle East they do the unthinkable till now... Al-Qaeda don chill, ISIS take over...
You Don't negotiate with TERRORIST
They r mad. So they know they can reach an agreement b4 they kept quiet n let innocent lives be lost. Bt jst because of their selfish interest they now know they can reach an agreement. Ko dee ni daa fun gbogbo won. Won ma a shan ku one by one ni.. They will meet us there. Idiot
I'm for it oo...they've wasted too many of our troops on the front line may their souls rest in peace
I am against it. I don't trust those beasts.
I just hope d ceasefire is for real
Release of chibok girls? To me those innocent girls have been abused sexually for the past four months by these God forsaking men. Now that the girls are tired of thier own life Jonathan wants them to cease fire. Jonathan u lie!!! Cease fire today and release bombs tomorrow right? Look jonathan dnt let me believe u are boko haram oh. You fight and send them all to hell if you are not.
There is no bases of to nogotiate no a ceasefire agreement with the terrorist. what about our soldiers that the government is killing everyday in name of unrealistic accusations. yet they preffer tp wine and dine with people who can not even say for sure the numbe of lives they have wasted. God help us.
I as i said in some other post yestydy If the plan is to get the girls released then wipe them out. Am all on. In support . But if it's just seize fire pls it's plainly stupid. Seize fires never last long and our military shpuld be seeking seize fires with a weak sect such as this. ..if twas a coutry to coutry war it's a different issue. Reppin SAMSUNG NOTE3
First time to comment on LIB. Having read all d comment, i believe everyone is still in d interest of d country, My submittion, MILLITARY should come back again. Civillian have diappointed us. Jesus is Lord.

The question still is, “but why now?“ We Nigerians should wake up and disappoint these politicians come 2015 by voting in a neutral person. They say our votes don't count, but let's try!
What re u guys sayin. Pls d war shld continue. They re rebels and they shld b crushed.
People draw conclusions without being informed including the perry brimah. The 1bn dollar loan has not yet been released. On thursday the house of Reps was still questioning it. Cease fire or not, this country need weapons because if another country attacks we are finished. Our armoury is empty. Empty. So enough of this
Ed Dreamz makes his first sensible comment on this blog. First comment without any mention of his doodie
Y did Nigeria negotiate wit dis sect lng tym b4 nw & wht abt our gud ppl who hav died witout HONOUR. Sum of dis ppl r d only hope & breadwinner of der family, after der death,dey r nt even remba derof. Haba dis is nt fair. If dey rilly want dis ceasefire nonsense to make brain 4 real den let d sect b made to apologize to d nation. 4 Àll d pains dey hav caused her untill dis is done I personally object to di§ ÇÉASÉFIRÉ bullshit.
We shld embrace this peace arrangement to stop further deterioration of the north. Two wrongs do not make a right.the killings should stop.we wshould however give the terrorists stringent conditions like working out a compulsory probation peace period of two years during which period there must be no news of any killing in any part of the north.then they should be made to declare full identities of their leaders dead or alive.a.d finally the big one the unconditional release of the girls.
We should remember that either way, Nigerians are the Losers. We lose our soldiers, we lose our children whom Boko Haram conscript and don't bat an eyelid to send to their deaths in the hands of their erstwhile defenders, the Nigerian army. Sigh. A vicious cycle. The ceasefire is a welcome thing. Whoever appointed Brimah to speak for Nigerians anyway? Speak for yourself man,and rest it. While this 'peace' lasts, the Nigerian Army should work with the 'knowledge' that Boko Haram is re grouping and better organizing themselves after the recent bashing they've taken. Get the girls. Liberate Boko Haram annexes a la Gwoza. Sleep with only one eye closed. Be prepared for the worst.
Appreciate your view, but it seems you don't fully grasp the ramifications of a ceasefire with said group. This "peace", as you put it, is only an illusion. You think people who have been rather successful in the spread of terror and especially in their encounters with the Nigerian military would just wake up one day and start waving the white flag? What... You think they found Jesus?
You don't make peace with a rabid dog... You put It down. What you're suggesting is we (Nigerians) embrace them and let bygones be bygones... But they (BH) are still armed... Heavily!
For some time now our Nigerians soldiers have been having successful operations against the terrorists. The table has turned back at them now they want seize fire,so d souls we have lost should be forgotten just like that,rubbish, u don't ever negotiate with terrorists no matter the condition
anything to bring back the girls make sense... plus a cease fire agreement is good for the sake of the harmless people in the affected villages BUT there should be a set serious punishment for breach of the terms
Ceasing fire from bk, not possible.
