Photo: Gbemiga Olamikan The Supreme Council for Shariah in Nigeria, SCSN, which is negotiating with the Federal Government on behalf of the Boko Haram sect on how to put an end to the spate of bombing in the country has accused the Federal Government of insincerity on the peace initiative which has led to the collapse of the talks between both parties.
President of the council, Dr Ibrahim Datti Ahmad and the Secretary, Mr Nafiu Baba-Ahmed represented the sect in the talks with government team. A statement issued, yesterday, by Dr Datti, however, explained why the talks broke down.
According to Datti, "as a concerned elder and President of the Supreme Council for Shariah in Nigeria, SCSN, I felt very disturbed with the turn of events and the increasing cycle of massive violence in our country, and especially in the Northern and Muslim part of Nigeria. We in the SCSN, therefore, made enquiries as to how to reach the current leadership of the Jama'atu Ahlis Sunnati Lidda Awati wal Jihad, otherwise known as Boko Haram.
"Our enquiries led us to a reporter who we realised maintained close and valuable professional contact with leadership of the sect. Through this gentleman, we contacted the leadership of the sect and established from them that as Muslims they were prepared to consider 'Sulhu' which means 'broad reconciliation' regarding the dispute between them and the government.
"It was at this juncture, that I and the Secretary General of the SCSN, on behalf of the Supreme Council for Shariah in Nigeria contacted the Federal Government at the highest level and intimated them of this great possibility of reconciliation and peaceful resolution of the crisis. This was on Monday, March 5, 2012.
"My delegation was well received and a high-ranking civilian officer was appointed immediately to liaise with us towards a successful resolution of the crisis. To our shock and dismay, no sooner had we started this dialogue, Nigerian newspapers came out with a lot of the details of the meeting held.
"This development has embarrassed us very much and has created strong doubts in our minds about the sincerity of the government's side in our discussion as the discussion is supposed to be very confidential to achieve any success.
"In view of this unfortunate and unhelpful development, we have no option but to withdraw from these early discussions. We sincerely regret that an opportunity to negotiate and terminate this cycle of violence is being missed."
It was, however, gathered that another reason why the Boko Haram representatives backed down from the talks was the reluctance by the Federal Government to release top shots of the sect from custody. The government was said to be preparing the release of some of the foot soldiers of the Islamic sect while still holding on to the sect leaders who have been arrested.

Alhaji Ibrahim Datti Ahmed is one of the patrons and sponsors of the Hausa/Fulani terrorists,the Boko Haram and must be arrested by the Authorities.His title,"the President of Supreme Council for Sharia"in our Secular Republic is already treasonable felony.These proponents of sharia are the sponsors of the incipient genocide against Christians in Nigeria.If the Nigerian Authorities fail to do their duty,there are Nigerians both at home and abroad ready to bring Alhaji Datti Ahmed and his Islamic clique to the International Criminal Court at the Hague,for genocide against Christians in Nigeria.This ill-advised attempt for a dialogue with Islamic lunatics and barbarians who murder in cold blood innocent children,men and women, is a slur over the memories of their victims.The Government is well aware of the sponsors of the terrorists and must deal with them accordingly.
THIS IS VERY DISSAPOINTING. AFRICA NEEEDS TO GROW DEVELOP AND REACH EQUITY FOR ITS PEOPLE. RELIGION SHOULD NOT BE A BASIS FOR DISCONTENT NOT RIGHT WHEN THE EMPOWERMENT OF AFRICANS ARE SO MUCH MORE PROFOUND. THE WEST HAS BEEN INSTURMENTAL IN MANY OF WHAT WE SEE ON THE AFRICAN CONTINENT. THE WEST PLAY POLITRICS WITH THE LIVES OF PEOPLE THEY DONT CARE HOW MANY PEOPLE DIE AS LONG AS THE POLITICAL SOLUTION IS IN THEIR INTEREST. WHAT I FEEL IS THE UNITED SATTES IS NOT READY FOR NIGERIANS TO HAVE PEACE. WITH THE CONTINUING CONFLICT AND BOMBINGS THE WESTWILL NOT HAVE TO CLEAN UP THE ENVIRONMNET AND THERE FORE FOCUS ON LIFE AND NATION BUILDING WHEN ENTERING AFRICAN COUNTRIES. THE WEST HAS ONE THING N MIND CHAOS CHAOS CHAOS, THEY SEEK TO ENTER COUNTRIES WITH THEIR TALK OF SECURITY AND SELLING OF MILITARY WEAPONS. WEAPONS MORE WEAPONS IS ALL THE WEST HAS TO OFFER. THYE WANT TO SELL HELICO[PTERS THEY WANT TO SELL TEAR GAS THEY WANT TO SELL BULLETES THESE ARE ALL FOR DEATH. WHEN IT COMES TO LIFE AND LIBERTY THE WEST IS FAR REMOVED FROMTHESE PRAQCTISES. WHAT IS SO SHAMEFUL ABOUT NIGERIA IS THAT IT HS THE POTENTIAL TO GO SO FAR AND TAKING ITS PEOPLE ALONG. WHEN WE LOOK AT THE PAST OF NIGERIA , NIGERIA HAS BEEN MISMANAGED FOR DECADES THEY HAVE HAD ENDEMIC CORRUT[TION WITH THE VALUE OF LIFE AT THE VERY BOTTOM OF LADDER WITH PERSONAL WEALTH EXCEEEDING ALL ASPIRATIONS. TODAY I SEE A NIGERIA THAT IS STILL NOT READY TO ACCOUNT FOR ITS PEOPLE. WHEN WE SEE PORCHE CARS SETTING UP SHOP IN NIGERIA WE KNOW THAT THE IDEOLOGY OF THE WEST IS VERY STRONG AND THE PEOPLE HAVE NO CHANCE. WHEN PEACE IS AVAILABLE WHY RUN FROM IT. WHY DOES THE AFRICAN MIND HAVE TO BE CONCERNED WITH WESTERN THOUGHT AND APPROVAL. THIS IS HOW IT SEEMS. WE SEE THIS TYPE OF HYPOCRISY BEING PLAYED OUT IN SYRIA. THE WEST GOES IN WITH THE MAIN FORUM AND AGENDA OF REGIME CHANGE FOR ONCE WE SEE THAT THE SECURITY COUNCIL WAS STYMIED AND RIGHTLY SO. I AM NOT SURE THAT AFRICAN ARE VERY ANALYTICAL WHEN DIAGNOSING THESE MOVEMENTS BY THE WEST AND THEIR PLOT TO RECOLONISE AFRICA THRU STEALTH. THEY WANT TO HAVE THEIR ADVISORS ALL OVER AFRICA TO HELP THE ISLAMIST THREAT AS IT IS CALLED WHEN THEY AT THE SAME TIM ARE PERPETRATING THE CHRISTIAN TERRORISM. THESE HIGH POWERED IADS ARE ALL WESTERN SUPPLIED THE MOUNTANOUS AMMOUNTS OF ARMS ARE WESTERN BASED FLOODING INTO AFRICA. THEY WHILE TALKIMNGH PEACE IN SYRIA ARE TELLING THE FIGHTERS WHOM THEY ARE SUPPLYING WITH MUNITINS WADS OF CASH TO UNDERMINE AND TERRORISE THE COUNTRY WHILE THEY FOCUS ON HAVING IT THEIR WAY. WHEN WE CONTINUE TO LOOK AT THE SITUATION SHOULD NIGERIA CONTIUE WITH THE SPATE OF ATTACKS DRIVEN BOKO HARAM WHAT YOU WILL FIND IS AN AMERIACN SITTING ON THE FENCE . EH IS ARMING FINACING aL QAEDA WHOM WILL IN TURN ARM AND HELP THE FINACING OF THEIR REGIONAL OF SHOOTS THEN THE AMERICANS WILL SEND THEIR EXPERTS TO GIVE YOU ASSISTANTS. W ARE LIVING IN TROUBLED TIMES. AFRICA HAS FACED SO MUCH TURMOIL IN THE PAST FEW CENTURIES AND WOULD IT NOT BE IN THE INETERST OF HISTORY TO SEEK A NEW BEGINNING IN AFRICA VOID OF ALL OUTER INTERFERENCE. WOULD IT BE A FAILURETO BE THE MASTERS OF OUR OWN DESTINY. WHAT IS AMAZING ABOUT AFRICA EVEN OUR MOST PROMINENT POLITICIANS ARE NOT VERY INFORMED ABOUT OUR OWN AFRICAN CULTURES AND HISTORY. WE HAVE LEARNED TO ACCEPT THE4 WORDS OF WHITES AS GOSPEL.LET US BE CLEAR UNTILL AFRICANS ACCEPT THE TRUTH OF WHOM WE ARE PLAYING WITH WHEN IT COMES TO WHITES AND RECOGNISE THAT OUR HISTORY HAS BEEN WIPED AWAY AND THEY HAVE BEEN USING US THEIR INFERIORS EVEN WHEN THEY SEE IRREPUTABVLE EVIDENCE THAT ALLOWS THEM TO CHANGE THEIR BEHAVIOURS THEY REFUSE. THEY STILL CONTINUE TO DECEIVE THEY MISEDUCATE AND THEY DIVERT THE COUIRSE OF HISTORY TO SUIT THEMSELVES. WHAT WE UST KNOW IT IS NOT THEIR CALL TO PERVERT TIME AND ITS NATURAL EVOLUTION. THIS FORCED RIPE BEHAVIORAS I SEE IT IS SO COUNTERPRODUCTIVE TO THE EARTH AND IT IS VERY ALARMING. WHAT IS WRONG WITH PEACE LOVE AND WISE INTELLECT. WHY ARENT WE SITTING AROUND THE TABLE OF PEACE ASKING OUR SCHOLLARS TO INTERPRET WHAT IT IS THAT WE CAN DO TO PREVENT ISOLATION ; ABSOLOUTE AND MAINTAIN AN EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM THAT TEACHES NOT JUST NATIONAL HISTORY BUT WORLD HISTORY FROM THE AFRICAN TRUTH MORE COGNISANCE THINKING . IF WE DO NOT SEARCH OUR SOULS AND DELIVER PEACE TO THE NATION WHERE RECONCILLIATION IS WORTH MUCH MORE THAN REVNGE. TAKE A PAGE OUT OF SOUTH AFRICA THOUGH THE PEACE HAS BEEN TRULY OBSERVED WE MIGHT ARGUE THAT A MORE EQUITABLE PEACE COULD HAVE BEEN DESIGNED. WHAT WE ACN SAY IS THAT WHITE LIVES ARE VERY IMPORTANT THEY DO NOT WANT TO SEE THE DEATHS OF THEIR PEOPLE. WHEN THE WEST STARTS LOSING ITS TROOPS ABROAD IN VAST NUMBERS THEY WILL RUN HOME AS FAST AS YOU CAN BAT YOUR EYES. WHAT THEY HAVE NOW IS MORE WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION THEY COMMIT THE MOST WAR CRIMES AND CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY THAN ANY OTHER GROUPS OF PEOPLE ON THE PLANET. WE MUST CLOSELY OBSERVE THE TREMENDOUS AMMOUNTS OF BLACK PEOPLE THAT HAVE TO DIE ON THIS CONTINENET. THE WEST HAS NO PROBLEM HELPING TOP ESCALATE AND TRAIN PEOPLE FOR MORE WARS AND MORE DEATH AS LONG AS ITS BLACK LIVES. BLACK LIVE SHAVE THE LEASTVALUE IN WHITE HISTORY TODAY. I SAY TO AFRICANS AGAIN THE PROBLEM IS NOT JUST IN NIGERIA ITS NOW RESURFACING OVER THE CONTINENT. THE WEST WOULD RATHER CONTIUE TO PERPETRATE RELIGOUS ANARCHY THOUGH THEMSLEVES ARE NOT BELIEVRS IN ANY FAITH. THEY TALK ABOUT CHRISTIANITY BUT THEY PRACTRISE IT NOT. DO YOU THINK ANY OF THESE NATIONS WHO CLAIM CHRISTIANITY AS THEIR RELIGION OF CHOICE WILL GO TO HEAVEN? HOW DO THEY JUSTIFY DRONE ATTACKS WHEN WOMEN CHILDRENBABIES OLD PEOPLE ARE BEING KILLED? DO YOU BELIEVE THAT OUR "FATHER THE SUPREME BEING" THE CREATOR" ALLOWS THEM TO DO THIS BECAUSE THEY SAY THEY BELIEVBE IN JESUS ? THINK ! IS THEIR WAY OF DOING THINGS ACCEPTABLE IN THE SIGHT OF THE "ALMIGHTY GOD"? I DO NOT THINK SO I KNOW IT IS NOT. THEE IS ASET PATTERN FOR ALL OF HUMANITY TO LIVE LET US BE CLEAR THE WORLD IS WAY OLDER THAN THEY HAVE LED US TO BELIEVETHESE PARCTISES THAT WE HAS AFRICAN EVEN THE SMALL AMMOUNTS WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO MAINTAIN HAS BEEN WITH US FOR MILLIONS OF YEARS. WE ARE NOT NEW TO THE EARTH WE HAVE BEEN THE STEWARDS OF THIS EARTH FOR MILLIONS OF YEARS AND WE HAVE MADE MSITAKES BUT WHEN WE WERE INVADED DURING THE LATER PART OF THE 15TH CENTURY WE WE DIDI NOT HAVE THIS HATERED FOR OURSELVES AND THERE WAS NOT SO MUCH SUICIDE I SAY THIS BECAUSE WHENWE CONTINUE TO MURDER EACH OTHER ITS LIKE KILLING YOUR SELF. WE MUSY LOOK AT THE QATARIS THE SAUDIS WHOM ARE COMMING INTO AFRICA STIRRING ETHNICITY THEY THINK BECAUSE THEY SPEAK ARABIC AND THOSE WHO SPEAK ARABIC ON THE CONTINENTARE NOT AFRICAN VERY RACIST DELUDED ANALOGY . THE MID EAST IS AND STILL REMAINS THE AFRICAN CONTINENT . THIS IS WHY WE NEED TO EDUCATE ALL OUR CHILDREN SO THEY WONT BE MISLED. ARABIC IS AN AFRICAN LANGUAGE SPKEN BY AFRICANS AMHARIC IS ALSO AN AFRICAN LANGUAGE SPOKEN BY JESUS AND IT STILL WRITTEN AND SPOKEN IN ETHIOPIA TODAY. BLACK HISTORY IS VERY IMPORTANT. AFRICA BECAME SEGERGATED DURING EUROPES INFILTRATION INOT AFRICA CAPTURING RAIDING PIRATING THEMCOERCING OTHER BLACKS TO SELL THEM SLAVES . THE ARABS WERE BOLSTERD IN NUMBERS WHEN THE EUROPEANS EXPLELLED MILLIONS OF EUORPEANS WHO HAD CONVERTED TO ISLAM BY THE BLACK ARABICX SPEAKIMNG AFRICANS THE MOORS WHO RULED OVER EUROPE FOR 700 YEARS UP UNTIL THE SPANISH INQUISTION IN AGAIN THE LATTER 15TH CENTURT. UP UNTIL THAT TIEM AFRICA AS NOT AT WAR WITH ITSELF NOR WITH THE WORLD. AS A MATTER OF FACT WE WERE IN A DEEP PLACE OF THOUGHT AND PHILSOPHY. WE WERE DEEP INTO SCIENCE AND WE BROUGHT ALL THESE THINSG TO EUROPE AND WE ALSO HAD GRAET CONSTRUCTIVE RELATIONS WITH SOUTH AMERICA. WE MUST REVIST OUR PAST. WHAT WE HAVE GOING ON IN THE CONTINENT INCLUDING MIDEAST IS THAT QATAR SAUDI ARABAI WHO ARE IN BED WITH NATO AND THE WEST WANTTS TO HOLD ON TO THEIR AUTOCRATICE POWER. IMAGINE THE WEST SPEAKS ABOUT DEMOCARCY YET THEIR BEST FERINDS IN THE REGION ARE DICTATORES AND AUTOCRATS. THEY DO NOT BELIVE IN PEACE. AS WE SAW IN EGYPT THEY INTERUPPTYED THE REVOLUTION BY INSISTING THAT THE ONLY REVOLUTION IS A VIOLENT REVOLUTION. THEY HAVE BEEN TRYING TO MAKE EVERYTHING WRONG RIGHT AND WHAT IS RIGHT WRONG. JESUS WAS REVOLUTIONARY AND HIS MOVEMENT WAS PEACEAGAIN THESE JEWS AND PARASITES CAME ALONG AND DENIED THE THOUGHT PROCESS OF PEACE WHICH IS OF THE "ALMIGHTY GOD" WE DO NOT HAVE THESE RIGHTS TO TAKE LIFE AS WE DO. THE WAY TH WORLD IS CONTINUING SPINNING OFF ITS CYCLE THERE ARE SO MANY NUCLEAR WEAPONS ON THE PLANET IS BEYOND AMZEMENT AND STUPIDITY. WHOM DO WE EXPECT TO OVER KILL WITH THESE WEAPONS. INSTEAD OF US SEEKING MORE PEACE WE SEEK TO RUN DOWN THE ROAD OF THE WEST WITH MORE DEATH AND MORE DESTRUCTION. OPEN YOUR EYS AND LOOK AT LIBYA LOOK IVORY COAST DESTROYED INFRACTRUCTURE BROGUHT BACK DECADES DISUNITYECONOMIC TURMOIL ALL THIS WAS DONE FOR THE LIBYAN OIL. THE WEST ILLEGALY OVER RULED THE AFRICAN GOVERNMENTS RECOGNISED THE NTC THEN SIGNING BILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN OIL CONTRACTS.LONGSIDE THEIR QATARI AND TURKISH BUDDIES. . WHEN IS AFRICA GOING TO STAND UP FOR BALCK PEOPLE AND STOP TRYING TO APPEASE WHITE PEOPLE BY MURDERING BLACK PEOPLE. WE ALWAYS HAVE TO PROV HOW GOD AND CIVILSED WE ARE WHICH IS ACTUALLY THE CONTRARY WHENW E ENGAE IN THEIR SECUTIRTY CONCIOUS PARANOIA SOME THING THEY INVENT TO PURSUE WAR AND TAKE OVER COUNTRIES. THEIR HEGEMONY IS BASED STRICTLY ON GAINING NATURAL RESOURCES. TO LENGHTEN THIS CONVERSATION IS A WASTE OF TIME . NIGERIA NEEDS TO REALLY REEXAMINE THE IDEA OF PEACE . THE PROGRES OF NIGERIA WILL NOT BE HERALDED AS A SUCCESS IF THE NATION IS NOT AT PEACE WITH ITSELF.
I am happy to hear that one of these vampires has finally come out to negotiate unbehalf of the wicked sect called boko haram, in the person of Dr. Ibrahim Batti, they wants a dialoque with the govt in order to secure the release of their men captured by the govt security force and automatically obtain recognition as an opposition, what do they have to say after killing the innocent christians in the name of their wicked god (allah) who promised the fools to kill and be rewarded with seventy three virgins. Now that they have come out the govt should waste no time, get them arrested and prosecute everyone of them according to the law of the land and arraign their leaders before to the international court for genocide. The govt should not give them any respect or recognition because they do not deserve any, they are simply murderers, the wicked demon in them (allah) is always thirty of blood and that's why they are heartless, having no respect for human lives, ready to kill and destroy as its their culture from time memorial, the govt should to not allow them to go scott free because boko haram activities is a crime against humanity and they should pay for it.
Talk with WHO, colapsed? When will Nigerian Govt. learn that "you do not negotiate with F---ING terorrists!!! Round these killers up including this so-called Supreme counsel. Supreme counsel MY ASS. As we speak, Boko Haram are still on killing rampage, and somebody want to negotiate. Boko Haram know what to do for peace, pack their belongings and head to sahara desert and mingle with the scorpions. These animals should leave us alone to enjoy our beautiful country. Enough of their nonsense.
To hell with this mediator. Who the fool terrorist think he is fooling. This ibrahim dhati, pulled out of the pre proposed out of the content of negociation when he after his cooked up story about the close ally journalist to the sect became known to the press that he was lying. The press, already knew his arrangement is to secure the release of their kinsmen. Why now that they want to negociate? Is it because the world's anti terrorist macineries is catching on them that they(boko haram) want to negociate so as to safe their lives from been choped off like Osama bin laden? Who even had more support in terms of everything than they do. No negociation for you, not even neither an emir nor king of saudi will safe you from this. You'll be smoked out like a rat from your hunderous hiding place. The blood of the innocent lives you've taken is now calling for vegeance. And now is the time.
