What a shame! If by this time coupled with current unfolding of events you still think APC or Buhari sponsors Bokoharam, you need a brain scan.

Barcanista i tend to agree with Tochukwuifeduba on just this.. This is a war
I don't see any difference between Boko Haram and ISIS
We are at war! This is why we need the GENERAL 2015
If took the Nigerian soldiers about three years to end the Civil War with "Biafra", why is it taking the same soldiers this long to end the crisis being caused by Boko Haram? Nigeria is not at war with Boko Haram, it is just our C-in-C that has failed to live upto his duty of ensuring security.

It won't be surprising that the Boko-Haram insurgenc(ies) were sponsored to facilitate tenure elongation when the conventional elongation via legislature failed in 2010/2011. Anyone connecting the dots?

The constitution does not permit the FG to postpone any Election. The Election can only be postponed by INEC.
What the quoted section says is that the National Assembly may by resolution extend the period of four years, but no such extension shall exceed a period of six months at any one time.
Nothing about postponing election was mentioned in Section 135.

The constitution is not written in Korean, it is simple, clear and precise.

Their plot is clearly coming out. One can see the desperation and why they want to be in control of the house of reps.

David mark has acceded to postponing the elections and they need a speaker who will do their bidding not a tambuwal who will be a stumbling block.

It has been PDP and Jonathan's plan to make the boko haram insugence continue so that they will elongate their tenure.
Do we now see why Boko haram insurgence might not come to an end?

Everyone can now clearly see why there has been a sudden surge in terrorist activities as General Buhari's popularity spikes. Someone is scared shitless of confronting the General at the polls!!

I have said it times without number: Jonathan wouldn't mind burning this country to the ground with the promise of presiding over her ashes!

Jonathan poses an existential threat to this nation and should be shown the way out now that there's still the chance!!!
The Mod that pushed this thread to FP and the OP that created the thread have done Jonathan a great disfavor grin grin

There is a popular military quotation " I am not scared of a pack of sheeps led by a lion but greatly scared by a pack of lions led by a sheep." that aptly describes our present military.
There no weak soldiers but weak commanders

Nigeria soldier fought with gallantry in
Burma
Congo
Monrovia
Infact the landed on an occupied airport chase the militias and freed freetown
The have conquered mogadishu
The have served in sudan with honor
Countless peace keeping ops all over the world. All with exceptional show of bravery. Today what is happening is as a result of weak leadership

The bokos boys are just a fraction of the population and they have been able to destroy human lives and property. Their intention or motive is not clear and we have the so called C in C in charge that should have taken the bulls by horn to stamp them out.This should simply tell us that if there is no crack on a wall the lizard cannot penetrate. And i m very sure that by the time a northener comes in as the president all these massacres will stop.

I rather think it is buhari who is providing logistic support for the insurgents so people see him as the onlyalternative.
