Zeus Zuco: We are blaming libya crisis for our failure to deal with common issue. Before libya crisis this group existed they must av gotten stronger recently, but let's not over look the fact, even if libya arms made it to our country then it did so with the aid of some of our politicians
They re the real problem

amaba: I MUST CONFESS OLD AGE IS TELLING ON HIM. BOKO HARAM HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH ARAB SPRINGS.

Pauljonnes: [i][/i]Baba Obasanjo, I love u for your better and realistic words. Nigeria needs a man like you, who can extint this bounch of Islamist(extrimist). I believe they will suffer for their deeds.

In an interview with the British Broadcasting Corporation radio and television aired yesterday,
Obasanjo said also that the rise of the insurgency could be linked to bad leadership.

manosteel: It's high time oga Jona tamed this man.

Ola Johnson:
It is obvious you and most of the people here who are youths do not understand international politics and what it is shrouded in. More disturbing is the fact you call yourselves leaders of tomorrow. Nowhere has OBJ been looked down on except in Nigeria. He is a respected person even in the US. In 1978 he was able to attract former US President, Jimmy Carter. That was the first time a US president would visit any African country officially. He remains one of the people I'll like to meet in person.

Obasanjo is more than just a "friend" of the Americans. He is an operative. And his involvement with America's foreign policy elite is a long, sometimes complicated, but delightfully interesting story.
There are several key persons and institutions that appear over and over in the Obasanjo files. One is Donald B. Easum, who was the United States Ambassador to Nigeria at the time of the 1976 assassination. Another is the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington, where Henry Kissinger, who was Secretary of State at the time of the same assassination, serves as a "counsellor." Then we have Robert S. McNamara, a former World Bank president and the Secretary of Defense who carried much of the blame for the Vietnam War. More recently, McNamara embarked on an excursion to Haiti in the aftermath of the election that brought Jean Bertrand Aristide to office. Upon his return, McNamara pronounced Aristide "vehemently" anti-US, implying that the United States would be in for another round of whatever it was that Fidel Castro stirred up in people after his revolution more than two decades before. Within a year of McNamara's assessment, Aristide was ousted by thugs on the CIA's payroll.
Back to the seventies: At the time of the coup that installed Obasanjo, the US was still reeling from the OPEC oil embargo. That action would have been all the more devastating were it not for the fact that Nigeria, under Yakubu Gowon's leadership, had opted to breach the embargo and ship oil to the West. Because of the inflated price petroleum commanded at the time, Nigeria experienced unprecedented economic growth. When Murtala took over, the US immediately became concerned, not knowing if Nigeria could be relied upon as a supplier under a new regime. In an attempt to soften up the anti-Western ideology associated with Murtala, Secretary of State Kissinger proposed a state visit. Murtala told him to stay home--something interpreted in Washington as a "ten" on the scale by which political insults are ranked.

maryjames9: Ok,i'm sure you have a point against that of OBJ. You must be more experienced,vast,lucid and intelligent than OBJ in terms of local and international politics than OBJ. My advice 4 u is this boy; when an elder stateman talk,you pay attention and listen. Dont argue

curtain: IS THIS A SYMPTOM OF BRAIN TUMOR OR A SIGN OF MULTIPLE-PERSONALITY-DISORDER? Am SUPRISED WIT OBJS Utterances dis days, all of a sudden the national assembly members became roques to him, as if he wasnt d one dat introducd ghana must go 2 dem. obj sees himself now as a saint, i wonder wat dis politicians are thinking. if he truly wants to knw the problems in d north, he shud go and recieve lectures from pple lik DAVID MARK and soyinka, who understands d situation, then he wil realise dat boko haram operates lik an institution in the north whose members ar properly described as extrimists, evn by d far away white house.

irecruit: I think baba is right, and its high time GEJ do something do something seriously about this boko harram problem. I believe Nigeria wil be o k one day, [b]we should all continue to pray for this great nation instead of running away from it.[/b]

bellafonte: I only picked one line to suspect in objs speech. Dat there is a connection bw boko haram and the dead U.S ambassador, he is only givin d U.S reason to wnt to snd troops to northern 9ja... And small small their troops will find reason to enta southern 9ja and sit on our oil which is their target... Y do dey alwz hv legit reasons to invade oil rich nations(iraq,afghanistan now 9ja)...my point is Plz obj u.s ambassador died in libya not 9ja they are usin yu to enta us now abi... I can smell d conspiracy a mile away... Wake up pple!!!

Garri_Activist: Baba iyabo, mr 'jagajag', baba idris abdullkareem, OBJ, right on point....

But baba Oo, if it's bad leadership, corruption, unemployment, lack of education etc that is fuelling boko haram, dat means you're main cause because you are the champion of corruption in naija.

If I be you ehhn, I go just siddon for corner dey hide my head.
