Northern Governors Should Ignore Jonathan And Grant Amnesty To Boko Haram-arewa by thelastPope(m): 4:14pm On Mar 22, 2013 |
http://www.naijapundit.com/news/northern-governors-should-ignore-jonathan-and-grant-amnesty-to-boko-haram-arewa-forum A Northern youth group, Arewa Youth Forum has told all Northern Governors to ignore President Jonathan's presidential authority and unilaterally grant amnesty to Boko Haram, the Islamic Terrorist sect carrying out an insurgency in Nigeria. The group, Arewa Youth Forum, which is linked to Jigawa State governor, Sule Lamido issued the press statement below; Arewa Youth Forum Press Statement To Northern Governors:Shun Jonathan, Grant Boko Haram Amnesty The Arewa Youth Forum (AYF) held an emergency meeting in Kaduna today (22nd March 2013) where the forum extensively discussed the State of the Nation and as well the ongoing challenges and possible crises of extinction threatening Northern Nigeria. We have been following with utter dismay and despair how President Goodluck Jonathan's led Federal Government has been playing politics and exhibiting such sophistry and a high sense of insensitivity in handling the Boko Haram insurgency and further compounding the series of challenges confronting Northern Nigeria. As at today, our economy is gone; the aged-long togetherness of Northern Christians and Muslims is totally gone. There is also no political cohesion in the North. And there is no sign that this ugly trend can be contained, if the Federal Government continues its flagrant display of insensitivity and nonchalance then, we will be threading the path of fire and bloodshed. It is based on all these concerns, that Arewa Youth Forum resolves as follows: That the 19 Northern State Governors, should as a matter of preserving the Northern Nigerian region from extinction and attaining a Failed State status, grant AMNESTY to the Boko Haram sect and all other groups responsible for the restiveness in Northern Nigeria. This is important, all Northern Governors, members of National and State Assemblies must rise, roll their sleeves because if the situation persists, there may not be a Northern Nigerian region again as a political and geographical entity in the larger Sovereign State of Nigeria. ============================================================================== Just saw this and I seriously support it on the grounds that they grant them amnesty and pay them from their own IGR and sales of their states agricultural products. No free oil anymore. Oil money for Oil people... |

Let me narrate the story of identical crime in Aba and how JTF and State Government handled it. 1. The State Government declared Amnesty and Rehabilitation for the Kidnappers if they stop kidnapping and surrender their arms 2. Most Kidnappers surrendered their arms and were listed for the amnesty. 3. The Kingpin of the Kidnappers (Osisikanku) with his group continued and kidnapped a bus full of School Children. 4. The State Govt. Cancelled the amnesty and handed that list of Kidnappers to JTF. 5. The JTF printed contact phone numbers and circulated them to the environs and natives in suburbs and villages for information on the way about and secret locations/hideouts of these criminals. 6. The people responded actively by calling the JTF and informing them of any suspicious movements and hideouts of these criminal. 7. Because the people responded positively, there were relatively minimal or no casualty in the operations of JTF 8. The JTF is still in Abia State and there is relative peace and tranquillity in the State and there are no reports of summary execution of anybody in the State. 9. The only regret is the extortion and sometimes harassment by members of JTF on innocent citizens. 10. The JTF used the Amnesty list to fish out and eradicate most of these criminal by either arresting them or summary execution in case of Gun battle. |

Let Boko haram declare cease fire for one month, if it holds then the State Governments should announced Amnesty and Rehabilitation for the Boko Boys and Girls on the condition they surrender their arms and cease all hostilities. Chubhie: It can be argued that what is good for Mend is also good for Boko. I support this if it will make the boys down tools and stop the spilling of blood... |
Re: Northern Governors Should Ignore Jonathan And Grant Amnesty To Boko Haram-arewa by Chubhie: 5:34pm On Mar 22, 2013 |
joseph1832:bro which ever way you look at it, both Mend and Boko have commited a crime by declaring war against the state.....Mend was able to hit the very source of govt revenue before they could be granted amnesty....assuming Mend where only bombing citizens and kidnapping do you think the govt will even mind them? What does this tell you bout your govt? The govt is willing to sacrifice the blood of the masses to boko as long as nothing stops the flow of free money. If truely boko wants amnesty a change in plan will land them some. As a citizen, would you mind if using extreme force or granting amnesty returns peace to the land? |

You have posted absolute nonsense. Only a drunk man will compare militants to BH. 1. What does BH stand for? 2. Did mend ever attack innocent civilians? 3. What is BH demands? Sharia for you and your children abi? 4. Did you not know the militants, both their names and faces? 5. At no time were the militants ever called terrorists because they are not terrorists. They were freedom fighters, fighting for a legitimate cause. Their lands were ravaged by the oppressive northern ruling class with the support of the south west and British government. Please stop saying nonsense. MEND even gave advanced notice for their attacks to forestall civilian casualties. They had every right to declare war on the state because the state was an oppressive body who trampled on their lands and rights and murdered their authentic leaders like Saro Wiwa while sponsoring their fake leaders. They were fighting a very legitimate cause. What is BH fighting for again? Please remind me. yeye! 2 Likes |

Ngwakwe: Let Boko haram declare cease fire for one month, if it holds then the State Governments should announced Amnesty and Rehabilitation for the Boko Boys and Girls on the condition they surrender their arms and cease all hostilities.Boko boys are saying they want a jaw jaw with the fedrael govt and not state govt.maybe same kinda of treatment melted out to Mend of which Gej was among the people yardua asked to seal the amnesty with his mend brothers. I support amnesty for those boys if and only if it stops the spilling of blood or the state can use the whole instrument of state to crush em once and forall and set a clean record of how to handle any group that declars war against the state. |

Honestly i am with jonathan on this, if government grant peaple who delibratly kill thausands of innocent peaple amnesty, then what kind of justice will the innocent dead peaple get, even the dead will be angry if government pay their killer for killing them when the same government could not protect them when they were alive. For me i think something is going on underground and someone somewhere is about to unlock the miseary of boko haram which the elite did not realy want, so they want to end it quickly before it is discovered. Otherwise why the noice now. |
Re: Northern Governors Should Ignore Jonathan And Grant Amnesty To Boko Haram-arewa by Chubhie: 5:55pm On Mar 22, 2013 |
thelastPope:looking at it strictly from the premise that mend commited a crime against the state by their actions then, it can safely be argued that boko harem also deserves a piece of the amnesty deal. There is no justification fordeclaring war against the in what ever form. Boko seems to be now willing to cash in on the amnesty deal. It is like a money in the bank in wwe and they want to cash it now! Mend got theirs through bombing the source of the nations revenue,bunkering and kidnapping.....boko harem got here albeit through a more deadlier way..... Does it make sense to you how your govt rewards crimminality? |

Does it make sense to you how your govt rewards crimminality? What is the definition of criminality? Who is the criminal? Is it the militants agitating against the exploitation of their ancestry lands or the FG, sharing the oil blocks in a land 1000 kilometers from were they live? Is it the militants fighting against the polution and ravaging of their farmlands leaving them in helplessnes or the FG who have ravaged and plundered these lands, gave nothing back in return and are using the money to develop cities 1000 kilometers away? I think the criminal is very clear here. For Boko Haram, what was stolen from them? Were their lands ravaged? Were their money or possessions stolen? Were they deprived of anything that belonged to them? What was the injustice metted to them? Please do list them When you compare militants to BH, you end up sounding silly. There are 3 reasons to fight a war. The legal reason, the moral reason and the greed/selfish reason. The only reason the FG has is the greed reason. They have no moral or legal reason. If you take the case before the ICC, the FG will loose it. But for BH, they have no reason to agitate. Agitating for the Islamization of the country is silly and senseless. They are seeking to enforce their beliefs on others. militants never sought to enforce their beliefs on anyone. They only asked to be left alone and rightly so. 2 Likes |
