Uyo — Senate President David Mark yesterday called on leaders from the North to act "properly" to tackle the Boko Haram insurgency before it grounds the region.
Speaking yesterday at the opening session of the 2012 Senate Retreat in Uyo, Mark said, "under-development is obvious in the North. The activities of Boko Haram will not bring development to the North. The people complaining of under-development are the same people causing subsequent under-development through violence.
"The way the activities of Boko Haram are going at the moment, God forbid, it may lead to the break-up of this country because people will not take it for too long. Therefore, I call on the northern elders to come out quite frankly and assist in solving this problem."
Mark said despite the challenges posed by the activities of the sect, state affairs must continue.

Northern Elders are professional whiners (cry cry babies) of Nigeria? To them, the blood of Christians, policemen, custom officers or security operatives is worth less than the blood of Boko Haram terrorists. When a BH terrorist is killed they troop to the presidential villa to whine like "Cry cry babies". But when churches are bombed, security operatives are killed or other innocent Nigerians are murdered in cold blood by BH terrorists, they publicly keep mute while privately, they celeberate. HYPOCRITES !!!

The so called Northern Elders are irresponsible, wicked men without conscience. These sponsors of terrorism should be prosecuted rather than entertained at the presidency.

They want more federal allocation yet over the years they have got 10 times more allocation than all the other parts put together. But their culture of corruption intolerance and violence has not allowed development to take hold. The Hausa/Fulani North has been an investment bottoless pit. Now, it is much worse. Only crazy people would want to go there and invest.

Excision is the ultimate solution. There after, there will be no more whinning and trooping to Abuja. They will remain in their Islamic republic and whine. HYPOCRITES ! Like pedophile "prophet", like followers.
