mekaboy: I dont have to tell you that you're a SLOWPOKE! The 1999 Constitution that we are still using, was written by the Military, under the leadership of Gen. Abdusalami. It was those Military guys that "smuggled Sharia" into the constitution, it was passed before OBJ even got released from his political detention under Abacha....... ......OBJ has NOTHING TO DO WITH IT. Maybe you should ask: WHY JONATHAN has not been able to remove it since the last SIX YEARS he was President? Anuofia! Lastpage! 1 Like |

sandland: Like someone said, "A good Product needs no hard sell". let what you have done speak for you. It was Fashola's performance that was speaking for him during his Second term bid...and he won without stress. When you see a Jonathan's Govt spending Billions of naira to propagate a Train or some decrepit project, and you see "Advert budget" being ten times of "project Budget" ...then you should know Jonathan don carry im people enter "one Chance". I just pity the Alaigbo with their rabid support for this sinking project called Jonathan. Only a stewpid fly dey follow dead-body enter Grave.

Birth of A monster Mohamed Yusuf is widely accepted to be the original leader of the proscribed militant Islamic group commonly referred to as Boko Haram. What most of you are not aware of is the original composition of Yusuf's inner circle which were drawn not from the vast population of poor ignorant masses in the north but from very educated young men of privileged background. What most of you also are not aware of is that the radicalization of these young men did not begin with Yusuf or in some rundown Madrasah that dots northern Nigeria but in lecture halls in universities across northern Nigeria. They came to Yusuf because they could identify with his own very radical message. The group gots it's nick name Boko Haram for its opposition of western styled education and mainly because the group was composed of young privileged and highly educated young men who turned their back on the world preferring a return to classical medieval Islamic society. Public destruction of certificates was done to woo more young men into their fold. The group unsurprisingly continued to enjoy wide spread support among young northerners because of the energetic, vibrant and new perspective they offered. Within a short time, the group started to draw negative critism fom the old established clerics who not only frowned about their radical views but saw their own popularity wane in the midst of younger Muslims who preferred what Yusuf had to offer. This critism will lead to both false and truthful allegations by the clerics to the authorities on the extent of the radicalization Yusuf was offering the youth. The security apparatus then swung in to investigate the activities of Yusuf and his group and severally he was "invited" to the police station to clarify issues. This only made Yusuf more popular among the youth and gave him an air of fighting the established order. The north was witnessing its first ever revolutionary character. Yusuf sensing the new twist to his personality and movement will capitalize on his new found fame and status by pumping up the rhetoric even further. This is when the crooked politicians got to notice this young charismatic man. His popularity they (politicians) thought, could be used to their advantage and before long Yusuf added another feather to his influence and ego. With Politicians patronizing Yusuf and soliciting for his support base, things were bound to get to his head. Here was this young man of humble background and limited education surrounded by children of the elite and the poor masses at his beck and call now getting visits from prominent local, state, regional and national political figures. Before long the politicians began to use Yusuf's supporters to carry out violent attacks on their opponents for a fee paid to Yusuf off course. This only made Yusuf more notorious with the security agents. But anytime he or any of his members were picked up both their highly placed political associates and the influential relatives of his Lieutenants swung into action to spring him out of custody. Before long Yusuf built an air of impunity for himself and his members since they were always let go Scott free after any of their violent skirmishes within Borno. It didn't take long for concerned individuals to petition the DSS about Yusuf and before long he was picked up during the second tenure of Obasanjo and was held for a long period by the DSS. This was the time Yusuf met Asari in detention. But eventually, Yusuf was released back into society and his aura had taken up legendary status. This is a man that even the federal government could not convict. From here on, grand delusions of grandeur began to set in and Yusuf thought he had everything at is disposal to take out the Nigerian state. We thus, cannot exclude the influences of Yusuf's inner circle and their connections to the corridor of power in our polity in incubating the monster boko haram. This goes to show that the Boko Haram insurgency has its roots in the northern oligarchy. Abdulmutalab is a good example of how a young privileged and educated northern youth can become radicalized. This is were the maitassine movement differs completely with that of Boko Haram. The maitassine movement was drawn from the poor dredges of northern Nigeria. The maitassine movement was effectively dealt with because the northern oligarchy saw it as a revolutionary movement ( which it was) challenging their authority and dominance and as such this was why the group was completely isolated and summarily destroyed. The case with Boko Haram is different as the group is intertwined with the northern oligarchy. 1 Like |

If Hausa people get sense they should understand that OBJ's love romance with GMB, is because he has consulted Owu deity and discovered that GMB will die in office because of work load as a result of his ill health. So that Osibanjo would succeed thereby retuning power to Yoruba land. Hausa people think, think with your Gods given brain. 1 Like |

Obasanjo does not appear to know what Boko Haram has repeatedly says it wants. Boko Haram says it wants a country friendly with practice of Sharia CRIMINAL laws like stoning women for adultery, cutting off hands of petty thieves, etc., not just sharia CIVIL laws. Sharia civil laws are permitted by Nigeria's constitution since lonng long time ago. But no country can permit two sets of criminal justice system, else judicial chaos follows, that's why the uproar against sharia begining 2000 when former Zamfara state governor brought use of Sharia criminal laws to north of Nigeria, though these states hardly implement criminal laws of Sharia which they adopted. Sharia issue only became a big issue since year 2000 when 12 northern Nigeria states adopted use of Sharia criminal codes. Boko Haram emerged afterwards and says it is fighting for a sharia-friendly country - read sharia criminal laws friendly country. Obasanjo created the impression here that Boko Haram is fighting for civil Sharia which is already in the constitution. Obasanjo does not tell what he knows. |

OBJ should be held responsible for our woe with Book haram. He said Sharia is not the problem. I think this man is suffering from 'abnormal old age syndrome' He allowed sharia to be smuggled into our constitution which I believe gave this people the needed warranty to carry out their dastardly act . |
