What proof do you have that Okorocha is funding Boko Haram? Is it just because he went to Borno state on behalf of the APC along with Fashola and Oshiomole and donated ₦200 million to the victims? They might be, I am not sure. As Jonathan himself has stated, Boko Haram's supporters are within the power structure. But it is a more sensible argument that they may really be donating to the victims as part of a political move to retain and gain more supporters for 2015. If the Edo, Imo, and Lagos state governors making the donation are supporting terrorists, then this supports what I have said all along that Boko Haram has nothing to do with Islam vs. Christianity in Nigeria. It would have everything to do with politics, as sick as it sounds, but then again, a lot of our 'leaders' are sick people at many different levels. The average person, rather it be in Maiduguri, Kano, Lagos, Port Harcourt, Onitsha, Lokoja, etc wants an opportunity to have a decent standard of living for themselves and their children. When you have a legacy of looting by elites, you create an underclass that can be controlled, usually with money. Ever heard the term divide and conquer? The Kano, Kaduna, and Plateau riots during Obasanjo's presidency is well known to have been supported by local politicians who wanted to gain or stay in power. When the Niger-Delta militancy was going on, didn't governors like Ibori (Delta), Odili (Rivers), and Agugu (Ondo) utilize the militants to cause violence in elections so they would win? This happens across the board. Nigeria's divide and conquer issue is made more complex when you have a Western world that is in decline and looking to sustain itself in anyway possible. Some elements in those governments may aide destabilization to gain control of natural resources. You should ask why the U.S. has sent troops to Niger of all places to supposedly fight terrorism. It is a uranium rich nation after all. What I am saying to you Mr. Dougmel is that I suggest that you aim your anger elsewhere rather than at the Hausa people. You are playing into the divide and conquer culture, playing into the hands of the politicians you hate so much. I understand that you and so many other Nigerians including myself are angry at what is happening to our nation and the innocent lives being cut short. Ethnic baiting is the worst answer to this problem. We should wake up and unite in the face of this rather than implode into further division. Also, I find it fascinating that you tend to fluctuate quite frequently between supporting the SNC to save Nigeria, and the support of the Biafran Zionist Movement who calls for a separate Biafran state. Really, which direction do you want to see for Nigeria?

KANO DEADLY BOMB ATTACK- SAD INDICATION BOKO HARAM BETTER STRATEGISTS THAN JONATHAN, FG The recent deadly bomb explosions in Kano that claimed many innocent lives could not and must not to be wisely confused as primarily targeted at only Christians and particularly Igbos travelling from northern part of the nation down south but rather on wet lips dropping of President Goodluck Jonathan who unusually than expected of a national leader constantly makes reckless and unguarded statements on very sensitive national issues. The fact must be faced at this critical stage of our national existence that the Boko Haram and or their drop out are choicely carrying out their sponsors determined efforts to make governance totally impossible for Goodluck Jonathan as retaliation for Niger Delta militants having made governance difficult for the government of late President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua. The ongoing insurgencies in some of the Northern parts of the country that started no sooner Goodluck Jonathan became President can therefore not be reasonably distanced from the realities on ground of some of his enemies making the nation impossible to know peace until Jonathan is forced out of office. The kano bomb deadly attacks if well and deeply assessed would simply reveal mockery and nuisance value being made of Jonathan who wrongly once claimed that “Boko Haram was in his government” and later claimed that “Most of the Boko Haram leaders have been arrested” and to have again of recent again claimed that he could not dialogue with a “faceless Boko Haram organization” It behooves therefore for one reasonably to conclude that if Jonathan had claimed that “Boko Haram’ was in his government and or that he had arrested most leaders of Boko Haram he would be assumed totally wrong and out of his mind, not knowing what he is doing to have later claimed that ‘Boko Haram are faceless’ The recent kano bomb attack one could reasonably therefore conclude was done to expose the thoughtlessness and lacking coherent values most of statements often made by Jonathan on very sensitive national issues and to obviously point out that Boko Haram members are better organized planners than Jonathan and members of his government. The quickest way out as once suggested by my humble self is for President Goodluck Jonathan doing good to an hotly matter at hand to in concert with the national assembly convoke a National Peace Conference where nagging national issues will be openly discussed, tension doused and possible solutions found.

I cannot imagine a person who wants to cause so much suffering to people, people who have nothing to do with what Boko Haram is fighting for. I saw some comments from when the news first broke of how the government is nonchalant about these atrocities. Sadly, the powers that be within the government use this organisation for their own personal gain politically and financially, so this explains the nonchalance. I also find it very strange that Garden-City Boy said that it is the culture of the Hausa people to kill on a massive scale. First, a lot of the victims of this attack were Hausa. Second, Boko Haram's members are from Kanuri dominated states like Yobe and Borno, not that Kanuris are terrorists either and they too have been victims/targets of Boko Haram attacks. The people in the North need to start speaking out more effectively against terrorism, and also those within the Federal Government who have an interest in this continuing. Reading the details of the civilian casualties is sickening, and no one should tolerate living in fear from terrorists or the state operating in the name of expunging terrorism.
