Why are they so angry that the boys are back? We trended #Bringbackourboys and they are all back. So, why the anger?

When Chibok girls were abducted, we all urged the Jonathan government to do everything possible to bring them back. If Jonathan had been proactive in the early days of the abduction, all the girls would have been safely returned and international embarrassment would have been avoided.

Buhari simply learnt from Jonathan’s mistake by moving quickly to negotiate a peaceful release instead of living in denial and blaming opposition like Jonathan did. So, why are they angry that he did everything possible to return the boys? Is this not what we all wanted?

A former Director of the Department of State Services, Mike Ejiofor, has knocked the Katsina State Governor, Aminu Masari, and his Zamfara State counterpart, Bello Matawalle, for laying the foundation for kidnapping in error by negotiating with bandits.

“The state governments –both Zamfara and Katsina States –mistakenly laid the foundation for what is going on now; they started negotiation with the bandits who were not even ready to give up on their activities and this is what we are witnessing now.

“Even this Kankara incident, the governor came out to say they are negotiating, that is unacceptable. And you give these people the boldness and courage to continue to perpetrate this act,” Ejiofor said on Friday morning.

Masari had on Thursday night confirmed the release of 344 abducted schoolboys from Government Science Secondary School, Kankara. Masari on Friday morning later received the schoolboys who were transported from Zamfara State.... https://www.nairaland.com/6320753/mike-ejiofor-masari-laid-foundation

Deji Adeyanju, convener Nigerian Concerned advocacy group, on Friday accused President Muhammadu Buhari of encouraging terrorism, kidnapping, and banditry in the country.

Adeyanju said Buhari was encouraging terrorism by allowing officials dialogue and negotiate with criminal elements.

In a tweet, the popular activist warned that such action will lead to the destruction of the North..... https://www.nairaland.com/6320741/deji-adeyanju-accuses-buhari-encouraging

(the Governor of Zamfara State was quoted to have said the state consulted MACBAN and some repentant bandits to negotiate the boys’ release.) meaning the MACBAN is present and past criminal organization.

Agbegbaorogboye:

So, to you Buhari who couldn't move two hrs to the scene of the crime was proactive?

You can't see how the govs of Katsina and zamfara where jumping up and down till they got the boys back?

Juxtapose with the response of Borno and Adamawa govs during chibok and you'll see how much ethnicity, religion and politics determine a lot of things in this country.

plaindealer:



What's his business with the crime scene? We had people on the ground to do that and brief the president, it's even crazy to expect the president to insert the presidency into ongoing operations.

The kids are safe, sound and reunited with their parents, thank God, be happy and stop lamenting over nothing.

That would require at least 200 Motorcyles.
How would that number of Motorcycles disappear into thin air, with their 'overload of kidnap' cargo, without a trace, not tyre marks, nothing!

odehsun:

Well the lives of this school boys are important but we should be careful of not creating rooms for kidnapping to become a norm.

If you pay ransome for release, you will continue to pay. If you negotiate with criminals for once, you will continue to negotiate.

American Govt. Don't negotiate, you kill an American, you get a colossal damages

Xisnin:
Aisha has a serious problem.
There is a thin line between Miyetti Allah and bandits so it makes sense that they negotiate on behalf of bandits.
Before you jump to Aisha's defense or deflect to Buhari's glaring incompetence. Ask yourself whether the lives of over 300 boys are worth some activists' ideal but wrong view of reality. If you want to play cleanly with bandits, those boys would have been handed over to Boko haram by now and the rest will be history.

Agbegbaorogboye:

The boys were never going to be handed to BH. And even if they were handed to BH, so were the dapchi girls and this govt got them back. What is obvious in all these is that this govt has a strong line of communication with BH and bandits. Also BH and bandits have a strong link and connection.

Both have now learned they can make money from staging kidnaps so the question is now that they have a catalyst for their behaviour, what inhibitor is govt having in mind?

Teewhy2:


even if you want to lie, lie with intelligence. Nigerians are not gullible

Xisnin:

Dapchi girls weren't rescued, ransom was paid for them even though the government wouldn't come out with the truth.
What is the point of letting Boko haram get hold of the boys?
I see no reason why paying a ransom to bandits is worse than paying to Boko haram.


This isn't new. Boko haram and bandits have been making money from kidnapping for years. They didn't just learn now.
The only alternative is an armed rescue but the government wasn't willing to sacrifice the boys to dissuade future kidnappers. We can't stop kidnapping without stopping ransom payment but when and where should that policy start and will Nigerians be okay with such policy and its attendant deaths?

Agbegbaorogboye:


So why is he meeting with them after the kidnap and rescue.
Seems he has no problem inserting the presidency at that stage of the operation

Agbegbaorogboye:


You really believed ransom wasn't paid in this case?

Your submission is why I asked what inhibitor the govt is planning or has ransom payment become an official state policy? If so, I think you'll agree the end can't be palatable.

No country in the world will be okay with a policy of killing hostages with the kidnappers. No democratic country at least. That's why such countries have highly trained special forces for such missions, backed up with tech. I wonder and I want you to reason with me how the US forces were able to come upon the kidnappers undetected and take them all out without them having the time to kill the hostage. I expect this govt should be building capacity in that regard if we don't have which seems pretty obvious.

My brother, that's what they wanted on paper, but deep down, they wanted the fame - as activists - and money - as businessmen and women...

For the fake and selfish activists/celebrities, they had wanted things to get out of hand - like the aftermath of the EndSars protests - so they could use the opportunity to consolidate their online presence.. They don't give a rat's ass about the wellbeing of the kidnapped kids.. You know, they've got gardens of saboteurs on social media and tears and blood - not water - have proven to be the most potent carrier of nutrients from the misfortunes of Nigeria to these saboteurs - the enemies of State...

For the businessmen and women, they are only after the money... "How do I monetize this?" .. is all they think about.. One of my neighbors - I won't mention his name - swung into action, immediately he heard the news.. In less than 10 hours, he had designed thousands of "BringBackOurBoys" tshirts to sell.. Trust me, he has been insulting President Muhammadu Buhari and the government for securing their release.. His anger is that he lost millions of naira..

So my brother, na God go help us. Some people are really wicked.

May God help us all.

so you believed that those boys are kidnapped ? You need to lick ass of cow,

plaindealer:



You people are trolls.

It doesn't even matter what transpired, you'll always come up with another trollish rubbish to hang on to.

Your noise and lamentation means nothing, the kids are back safe, sound and reunited with their parents which for obvious hateful and anti Nigerian reasons makes you people sad and frustrated.

You want bad and destructive news, but God denied you people that bad news.

To God be the glory.

plaindealer:



Do you have any proof to show that ransom was paid? No, you don't

Agbegbaorogboye:


You can't tell me what I want.
You know what you want. To lick ass and praise sing. You're doing a darn good job.

You're here forming more Nigerian than I am? That's your business. You're not a party to my being a Nigerian so you can't lecture me on how to be a good one.

I decide how I want to be as a Nigerian. If it gives you pain, feel free to drink a chilled bottle of sniper or hug the warmest transformer close by.

I will speak my mind on national issues as I deem fit. You can't moderate me to your praise singing occupation.

To God be the Glory

Agbegbaorogboye:

Do you have proof to show that ransom was not paid, no you don't?
The boys are back. With no casualties. Let's assume the bandits/BH suddenly developed some kindness and patriotism for their compatriots and let them go. Hossanna!!

Xisnin:

No, I believe that ransom was paid. So, there is no point in delaying if the government will eventually pay a ransom.


Ransom payment is the policy. That is what Nigerians want.


The detail of the operation would never be released but I assure it isn't as rosy and smooth as you think. It was a gamble and it works. America has a long list of failed rescue attempts. It is not as if Nigeria has never rescued victims from kidnappers without paying the ransom. It is much easier to attempt moving on kidnappers with few victims but 300? the result would be a massive death.

My point is that the solution is to make kidnapping non-lucrative but it will definitely come with high body counts before we get there.

At the moment, the kids are safe, sound and back with their parents without any bloodshed, deaths or needless hostilities, this should make any Nigerian happy, grateful and extremely thankful, anything else like you and your kind ranting and lamenting because you are sad and unhappy because of this positive and happy ending is totally irrelevant, you are just displaying how mean, cold, callus and anti Nigerian you are.


Be happy in your life for a change.
