The Nigerian government is yet to confirm these murders...Thank you for specifying that these terrorisms are localized in the North. We hope that one day the North will be a separate country from the South, just as in the Sudan.
The time for rhetoric is long gone. All the talk about amnesty is belated. These deadly low-lifers have gone over the top, crossed the line back and forth, over and over. Suggestion that over 3000 murders and senseless destruction be waved and the criminals compensated is treasonable. Those whose originality it is give encouragement for the barbaric conduct of those awusa islamists. They need to be subjected to criminal investigation for collaboration. The stereotyping of the whole nation by these savages is gratuitous. Not satisfied with the characterization of Nigeria with the ugly stigma of a terrorist nation through Umar Faruk Abdulmutallab, these same awusas have gone berserk, taking foreign nationals hostage and executing them. So far, no clear reasons were given by the terrorists for the kidnapping and executions. They neither demanded ransom, nor gave conditions for their release. All we know is their grouse with British “war plain” they suspected was on a rescue mission. Having pushed their criminality beyond limits, they do not expect Britain, France, whose nationals they murdered, to fold their hands, sit on them and say “thank you very, very much”? As it is, they are fair game and deserve anything they get, both from the Federal Government and the International Community. At this stage, there is no option but to eviscerate and degrade these mullahs out of existence. A bunch of tribal islamic bigots have no right to bring such gory stereotype upon an entire nation.
