Borno residents caution FG Against Dialogue With Boko Haram

Some residents of Borno on Monday cautioned the Federal Government against rushing into dialogue with the Boko Haram insurgents as a way of ending their violent campaign. Those who spoke with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Maiduguri on Monday advised government to concentrate on military action against the insurgents.

Shieikh Musa Usman, a Maiduguri based Islamic scholar, advised government to equip the military with the necessary weapons to face the insurgents rather than considering dialogue option.


“We heard in the media that government was considering a dialogue option with the insurgents following the recent spate of attacks in the North east. Why should government dialogue with individuals who are only interested in killing and maiming innocent people? Is government saying that it cannot continue with the current anti insurgency war or what? Why must we be talking about dialogue when our neighbours are already dislodging the insurgents from their countries?” Usman said.

Usman urged government to copy from the recent actions of the Chadian and Nigerien Governments in dislodging the insurgents from their countries.

Malam Goni Yahuza, another scholar said that negotiating with the insurgents was a sign of weakness.

“I do not support the idea of dialogue with Boko Haram because there is nothing to dialogue about. In the first place, I do not think that the group has something to talk about apart from violence. I believe that the Nigerian military has all its takes to crush the insurgents, what they need is proper motivation for the task. Government must strive hard to ensure that it puts an end to the insurgency in a short while”, Yahuza said.

Alhaji Mohammed Mala, a businessman, commended the gallant efforts of the Nigeria military in fighting insurgents and urged them to do more.

I am also against dialogue , this boko haram group showed no mercy when taking the lives of their fellow men.

Is for the killings to stop now. I think if they are ready to drop their weapons, we should dialogue. Innocent people re dying for goodness sake.

The FG should listen to them. Those people can kill anybody disregarding the circumstances

How can FG consider negotiating with faceless terrorist group whom have not stated specifically what their agitation is. Dialogue is a solution only if the have a leader who could come out boldly n represent their interest, which would never happen. The solution is to tackle the insurgence headlong, equip our military n train them to be strategic in their approach n also the use of intelligence gathering. Chad n Niger r busy dislodging boko haram from their boundaries while we r here talking abt dialogue n over 500 people have died since buhari assume power. Smh

Dis words says it all "h individuals who are only interested in killing and maiming innocent people? Is government saying that it cannot continue with the current anti insurgency war or what?".

EXPERIENCE HAS SHOWN THAT YOU CAN'T NEGOTIATE WITH TERRORISTS BECAUSE THEY CANNOT ABIDE BY ANY AGREEMENT. YOU MAKE YOURSELF A SOFT TARGET WHEN YOU GO INTO NEGOTIATION WITH THEM. THESE PEOPLE WANT TO DIE, SO WHAT IS THE HIGHEST PENALTY THEY CAN FACE IF THEY FLOUT THE AGREEMENT?

MY DEAR RESISDENTS OF BORNO STATE, SOMETIMES THERE IS WISDOM IN DIALOGUE BECAUSE WHAT AN EXPERIENCE OLD MILITARY MAN SEES WHILE SITTING DOWN, EVEN IF YOU CLIMB THE HIGHEST TREE YOU WILL NOT SEE IT. I THINK WE SHOULD TRY DIALOGUE FIRST. IF DIALOGUE DOES NOT WORK, THEN WE CAN NOW FIGHT THEM AND EVEN INVOLVE OTHER COUNTRIES FOR ASSISTANCE

Okowright Balaxy said...

They said GEJ was clueless, now we have a LAZY and FOOLISH old man as president. A confused and idiotic brainless man that is thinking about dialogue with an evil group like Boko Haram. Now I believe Buhari is a sponsor of Boko Haram, immediately he assumed office he ordered the military to stop killing Boko Haram members thereby giving power to Boko Haram to kill more innocent people. I have always Buhari has nothing to offer Nigeria. He's just focused stealing government money since IBB deprived him the opportunity to steal as military head of state. TO HELL with that #GoSlowBuhari.

SOMETIMES THERE IS WISDOM IN COWARDICE. YOU MIGHT APPEAR WEAK OR APPEAR LIKE A COWARD BECAUSE YOU HAVE ASKED FOR DIALOGUE BUT YOU ARE ACTUALLY BEING WISE DEPLOMATICALLY. IF DIALOGUE WILL STOP THE SUICIDE BOMBING, THEN LET'S DO IT. WHAT EVER WILL MAKE THEM STOP THE KILLINGS, LET'S DO IT. IT DOESNT MATTER IF YOU LOOK WEAK AS LONG AS THE KILLINGS STOP

Dialogue is not even an option and I bet no right thinking Nigerian will support it. BH will present conditions that even devil itself can not grant. The battle must be fought to a logical conclusion and they should be crushed completely. Don Casey

gentle said...

I'm all shades of appalled that buhari, a supposed retired general actually had the galls to suggest negotiations with bokoharam. This was why they told him to come for presidential debate during election campaign but he arrogantly rejected it as if they were going to ask him WAEC questions there. Someone coming out for a presidential post at a time like this in nigeria should already have some laid down plans on how to tackle the issues ravaging the country, that was the purpose of the debate, but buhari didn't come. Okay now, as u didn't now come for debate and u won, use past experiences and quickly solve the issues, he keeps silent on every bomb blasts but can release statement over his daughter's hacked twitter account. He's just being a disappointment through and through.

You are sick. Which country in this world have you ever heard in any dialogue with terrorists?

gentle said...

And what next when you release their prisoners. They regroup and re attack? How sure are you they'l keep to their end of the deal and stay away, and not attack the country unawares. And more importantly what can he offer them that they want, according to them, they want to Islamise nigeria, so I guess he should make nigeria a muslim country then, or mayb give them their own northern state? If ur president ceiticized the past government dor being weak,then he's being a vegetable without bones now. Dnt talk like an idiot.
