By this unguarded, ill-advised act MEND has declared ''war'' on northern nigeria that could cause a backlash on southerners living up North. I heard already that tension is high now, up there.

df2006:

this has been mend,s position since inception, mend dose not talk btw it,s teeth or give lip service, they say it as it is. as for any backlash, the southerners up north are fully prepared, and ready for any eventualities, gone are the days of turning the other cheek.

There is nothing wrong with MEND looking for international alliances. Better to be prepared than have another Odi or Gbaramatu.

tpia.:

america can give you the odi and gbaramatu you want.

SEFAGO:

Well they are looking in the worng place. From experience, MEND is classified as a terrorist group by academics all over America. I spend 85% of my time trying to convince americans that MEND is not a terrorist group but a social movement. However I have not been successful

You are looking in the wrong place, because academics don't determine foreign policy. That is the job of diplomats and policy institutions.

SEFAGO:

Thats the word, I was trying to find diplomats and policy institutes. Dont forget these diplomats are taught by the academics and academics are the ones usually quoted, and who do research for policy institutions. I remember sitting in a lecture where this guy kept on referring to the terrorist institution in Nigeria called MEND and how America has to cut ties with countries like Nigeria with significant terrorist activities, by seeking alternative energy. This isn't a jab, if you could find one respected diplomat or policy who doesn't consider MEND a terrorist group.

Infact long before Umar, most americans I met who studied international policy at always asked me about the growing terrorist threat by the MEND.

I believe they are questioning you with reference to Nigeria's stability

tpia.:

^^ so are you in Biafra now?

Beaf:

Fu ck off.

ndu_chucks:

hehehe. beaf don come again with wishful thinking disguised as analysis, disguised as good MEND strategy!  MEND dey look for alliances with the USA ko? Very good.

make i tell you de kind of alliances wey MEND dey invite. First of all, free flow of oil from naija important to USA at de moment pass a non existent al-quaeda threat in Nigeria.  you see all de brand new amphibian vehicles wey israeli recently supply Nigeria, na Africom go operate dem. 

for Africom to do their work well, dem go first  put MEND in its place to say de least.  by de time wey Africom finish with both MEND and other terrorists wey dey una dey harbour, una go find out say, de recent pronouncement by MEND no go help beaf and his MEND cohorts.

Beaf:

Let me first tell you seasons greetings.

Don't make me laugh. Africom will come and operate vehicles for JTF. . .
Do you know what happens to a man with a beautiful wife that calls another man to show him what to do with her at night? Africom. . .

ndu_chucks:

Merry Christmas and Happy New Islamic Year to you too.

you people and MEND will not be laughing when Africom pursue una and other terrorists enter deep inside creek and weed una out. make una no mess with Africom and no even try compare dem to JTF.  Initially, nothing dey wrong with friends such as Africom, helping us and teaching us how to perfect de operations of these amphibian vehicles.

all de MEND terrorists will be cleaned out of de creeks. una don carry terrorist act enter USA and una no expect say repercusions go dey ko?  Before una begin blame North, make I remind una say una number one terrorist chief inside MEND be Alhaji Mujahid Dokubo Asari. for now him dey behave, others need to learn.

SapeleGuy:

Is this the same Africom that have been so visible in the horn of Africa attacking piracy? ndu-chucks don't makes us laugh. If Africom are going anywhere it will be to Zamfara, the same way the USA went to Pakistan & Afghanistan to the source of their problems.

ndu_chucks:

una days are numbered inside de creeks, by una, I mean de terrorists and criminals wey dey abuse and lead young boys astray and parading themselves as MEND.  una go dance to a different tune as soon as Africom move their headquarters to Sapele or PH.

Beaf:

Seriously ndu_chucks you're joking right? I find this really funny.
By the way, I'm wondering if you have seen this? BOKO HARAM: Police dispels reprisal attacks

THE Borno State Security Council has described as fake, the video clips being circulated among the residents of Maiduguri and the neigbouring towns of Damaturu, the Yobe State capital, over an alleged plot of reprisal attack by the Boko Haram sect against the government and its security agents.
