    The so called Boko Haram terrorists went out their way to bomb,kill innocent people,burn Christian Property and places of worship.Here comes the so called Arewa Leaders Forum calling on the Government to resume talks with the terrorists.Talks about what?In which epoch are the members of Arewa Leaders Forum living? And what is their message to the relatives of the over a thousand people murdered by this muslim terrorists? But this Hausa/Fulani terrorists want to impose sharia on our secular Republic.But the secularity of our Commonwealth is non-negotiable.Therefore this call for talks with the lunatic barbarians is a treason.Members of Arewa Leaders Forum are playing games with the people of Nigeria.Most of them are known to be the sponsors of the so called Boko Haram sect.Prominent among them is Alhaji Adamu Ciroma.Sooner on later the International Criminal Court will be called in to intervene in this incipient genocide and cleansing of Christians in Northern Nigeria by the Hausa/Fulani muslims.We Nigerian Christians have a right to litigate over the unlawfull killing of our loved ones.For sure we shall take appropriate actions against their murderers.

    Talking to a band of murderers is OK if you are only trying to buy time while you get the security situation under firmer control. It's not OK to talk to Boko H if you intend to go into agreements and honour them, that would be a HUGE mistake. BH are a military logistics problem, in other words we need someone more vicious than them to come along and neutralise them.
