ACF Warns Boko Haram Could Cause Collapse of Peace, Security And Public Order
The Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF) has warned that unless addressed quickly and decisively, the threat posed by the recent attacks by Boko Haram Muslim sect could cause the collapse of peace, security and public order in the country.
In a statement issued on Thursday at the end of a meeting chaired by Ret. Lt General J.T Useni, the chairman of its Board of Trustees, the ACF advised the federal government to commit itself “openly and unambiguously” to guaranteeing the security of leaders of Boko Haram when they appear for the dialogue promised by President Goodluck Jonathan. ACF said in the statement, which was signed by Alhaji Aliko M. Mohammed, Chairman of its national executive, and Mr. Anthony N.Z Sani, the National Publicity Secretary, that the meeting was convened following Boko Haram’s horrific bomb attacks on Kano on January 20.
It said the government should persevere to uncover the true identity of the militants so as to be able to determine their demands, and called upon all Nigerians of good conscience who may have access to members of Boko Haram to urge them to take advantage of secure channels of communication to be provided by the Federal Government to achieve a resolution.
“Similarly, ACF calls upon and enjoins the leaders and members of Boko Haram to realize that no religious doctrine permits the killing of innocent lives,” the statement said. “It is important to point out to them that they are inflicting terror, death and destruction upon people not in anyway responsible for whatever injustice they believe have been done to them.”
The Forum also expressed concern about the grave rumours that some people “from other sections of the country were conspiring to cause high level of insecurity across the country” with the clear intention of making the country ungovernable, noting that some of the allegations even claim there are plots to assassinate the President.
“They also allege that southerners were not only being killed but that their attempts to flee the North were being blocked by Northerners,” ACF said, and called on the government to investigate them as a matter of urgency for purposes of prosecution.
On calls for a Sovereign National Conference, the ACF asserted that the terms of our National Union and those by which the Nigerian Federation are run have been well defined in our Constitution, but said that the North remains open to, and will be keen to discuss any ideas that may place Nigeria in a better position to meet the challenges of nation-building and secure a better future for this and succeeding generations of Nigerians.
ACF's call for dialogue with criminals
Someone please answer me:If Christians were to turn their guns on Moslems at Jummat prayers or at Eid el fitre prayers nation wide would we still remain one nation indivisible for AREWA or any other such weak unpatriotic gathering to insult us like this?
Today they call it BOKO HARAM. Years gone by they called it REVENGE KILLINGS. What is in the blood of Christians that these people need so badly as sacrifice to their god?
A close study shows these criminals' sole agenda is to take the presidency from "another CHRISTIAN". In their retrogressive world view it is haram for Christians or women even their own women, to rule over them.If "western education is sin" remove your clans from all schools in the land. Why kill innocent people mainly Christians, to enforce your belief?
Are these people Nigerians at all?
The North are afraid of
The North are afraid of breakup, they now sw,ss and se are ready to go and we are going for the parasite who only live on government
If what you wrote is truly
If what you wrote is truly what meant the truth, so be it! If you think you have oil and you are contented, fine. We would be glad if what you wished for Nigeria is really from your heart, then we give God the glory. We in the North are very happy and pleased with your wish. May God help you.
This is terrible. The
This is terrible. The parasitic ACF is now pleading for appeasement on behalf of their Boko Haram. The only talk the government should have with the Islamic jihadist sect is to allow them to break away from Nigeria and establish their Islamic Republic of Arewa. No more appeasement with our oil money. Our money and other resources going to the north have always been a colossal waste. Let them feed themselves for once since 1914. Their stupidity and ingratitude have set Nigeria backward for a long time. It is time to split.
D.O., You are a northern
D.O.,
You are a northern ignoramus. The Japanese are creative people. They exploit solar energy. Can the north do anything? Americans are very intelligent people. Even if they had no oil they have enough money to buy as much oil as they need. Is there any intelligent leader in the north? Russian and Chinese people too are wise and creative; they can feed themselves, oil or no oil. Can the north survive without oil money from the East? If so why did they commit genocide to have access to oil? English people have plenty of oil and they are creative too. What can the north do?
Pls lets split. Enough is enough.
U pple think d north cannot survive without u. How many countries depend on oil? Does U.S japan, russia, china,England etc depend on oil. Pls my fellow northerners lets pray for the division, it will favour us. By God grace. Let them park to where they come from, honestly speaking they will be fighting each other or killing themselve through rituals.
Boko Sympathizers
The current arrangement(constitution) framed by the Northern soldiers works just fine but if you guys think that it is not, well, we may look into it. Remember that we have more States in the North, more local govt, more landmass, and more people live in the desert than in the equatorial region. Ex. Lagos vs. Kano. We also use the Middle Belt when it serves our purpose. Hahahahahaaaa. Eat your hearts out you Southern educated fools.
BY THEIR FRUIT YOU SHALL KNOW THEM
When you see a mad dog dancing on the road, the one playing the music is in the bush somewher€. How on earth can Jerry boy PARDON ME jerry coil and his cohorts advice that the president dialogue with terrorist group? This very action shows that Jerry Coil and the ACF KNOW this group and theisr members very well, and they are just playing a script. There is something they stand to gain from all these, including the so called negotiation. Mr. President, open your eyes, be wise and demonstrate bravery. There shall be no dialogue with this men of evil. Gog will defend Nigeria Himself and all enemies shall be put to shame. LONG LIVE NIGERIA.
USENI AND TONY SANI ARE
USENI AND TONY SANI ARE FLOATERS.
THEY USE THEM TO MAKE STATEMENTS THEY UNDERSTAND BUT WANT TO PLAY ALONG WITH.
Are you comparing the two
Are you comparing the two struggles ? One legitimate, the other terrorism. You must be a big fool. For how long did it take the organized niger delta youths b/4 they started their legitimate struugle.
This was exactly what happened when Niger delta basin development authorities were created to develop the niger delta area, advised by the out going colonial masters. No sooner had they left when this morons called notherners started creating river basin development areas to suit their vicked purposes. Now the niger delta youths are being envied by the idiots. Namas !
.... Collapse of Peace, Security And Public Order
Collapse of What ??? Has ACF been sleeping? Peace, Security And Public Order collapsed long time ago.
Why is it only now that they are just realizing it? Because Kano has been bombed and Muslims killed? SHAME ON YOU, ACF and all the Northern leaders and elders
AREWA:JONATHAN,DONT FALL FOR THIS DECEPTION PLEASE.
USENI,a failed politician and best friend of the most brutal dictator Nigeria ever had is not the person to advise Mr President,he lost the moral justification to do so a long time ago.The desperate AREWA group know very well that with a tenacious anti-terrorist policy the sponsors of the boko-haram will soon be exposed,they advise the president of a democratic country to negotiate the capitulation of Nigeria in the face of the terrorist enemy,what a humiliation,the President MUST REMEMBER that he was elected commander-in-chief by Nigerians and not by AREWA.He owes us the duty of seeking justice for those victims who were brutally killed by the boko-haram for no just reason.It is clear that the boko-haram is a political/religious terror network and the AREWA know that the sponsors might just be around them,hence the selfish advse,the President must not fall for this trick,it is a face saving ploy,it has nothing to do with national security in the long run.
Political or Religion?
Yet, some people claim that the Boko Haram cause is not POLITICAL but RELIGIOUS. Imagine JERRY BOY (a Christian) calling for protection for the 'LEADERS' of BOKO HARAM to be protected. After all the bombings and the destruction to Churches, etc, the 'LEADERS' FROM THE NORTH ARE SEEKING PROTECTION FOR THEIR MINIONS.
Who are these 'LEADERS' of BOKO HARAM? Perhaps, JERRY BOY knows them. Good luck to JERRY BOY & his cohorts (ACF), who are all INCOMPETENT AND INEFFECTUAL 'LEADERS' OF BOKO HARAM! Or should I refer to them as SYMPATHISERS AND APOLOGISTS OF BOKO HARAM!

ACF Dancing Naked in Open Market!!!
I thought they call themselves elders! Are these elders or senior thugs? How on earth can reasonable, enlightened & civilized set of people be seeking ways to protect killers called Boko Haram. Statements made by ACF have clearly showed that they are behind the operations of Boko Haram. If indeed they detest the murderous activities of Boko Haram, they would not be seeking for their protection.
Do those hollow & empty headed ACF know that Boko Haram have killed & wounded thousands of Nigerians and destroyed properties worth Billions of Naira. If that is what they could say, they should keep quiet & shut up their mouth.
Elders that want criminals to be protected are not elders but foolish "Morons". ACF & Governors in their North created Boko Haram as bargain for power. One day, their Boko Haram would turn their guns on them & kill them; useless, imbecile elders
ACF, Our Constitution is Defective, We Need SNG!!!
How on earth can a progressive minded person say that the conditions of our union have been clearly set out in the constitution? Are ACF satisfied with the confusion & anarchy that this defective constitution is engendering in the society? We need Sovereign National Conference to set out in clear terms the conditions for our union if we are to continue to be a country. The present constitution is not a constitution of Nigerians by Nigerians people. It is a consitution handed down by opportunistic & selfish military class to protect themselves.
We need true fiscal federalism as opposed to the current unitary sysstem. The centre MUST be thinned down and more powers devolved to regions and states. We need state police for effective crime control prevention. Let each region develop at their own pace; others should not be slowed down.
Parasitic ACF should shut up....
The Poor Parasitic, Maggot Infested ACF would never rise above the sand to see the reality that in this time and age they can survive on their own. And if they are not self-sufficient, they have no right to force no entity to continue to feed/clothe them while they cause big troubles in return. Things just don't operate like that no more! Should they continue to day-dream of their continual co-habitation with the artificial entity called Nigeria, they would be forced to acknowledge that every ethinic has a right to self-determine. And that the rest of the nation simply wants to move away from the old unworkable British arreangement. Since they still refuse to get the message, they will face the consequences of their stupidity!!!
If religion is all that
If religion is all that important, why did we get it only about 5500 years ago and what happened to those who lived before religion, did it mean that they would not see The Almighty God or that will not go to Heaven? My simple advice is just love your neigbour as you love yourself and do unto others as you wish it be done to you, as long as you do these things, you are doing the will of The Almighty God and you will definitely go to Heaven. Barmy and bolony religion that is very divicive, political and only my way or nothing is not the answer. There are many roads that lead to The Almighty God and Heaven end of story. Even in so called individual religion there are a lot of hatered and divides. Chirstainity is 1750 years old and Islam is about 1500 years, they are very young compared humans, so give me a brake.
Mr Jonathan dialogue with
Mr Jonathan dialogue with terrorists and you will forfiet and deserve to fofiet your rights and authority to rule, govern or lead Nigeria. Terrorists are very dangerous criminals and they should be trated as such. Mr Jonathan do not be panicked into negotiating with boko haram, by those who at night and unseen are boko haram, but in the open they disguise as very responsible citizens.
As was rightly put religion is the opium or crack of the masses. This bolony was foited on us about 5500 years ago. This world has been inhabited by humans over 350000 years ago and the Universe is about 12 billion or trilion years old.
Which Constitution was ACF Referring to?
Is ACF referring to the 1999 Cons foisted on us by the military? Its the failure of that cons that casued our problems. Nig is headed for a split if a SNC is not convoked. Late Pa Enahoro and co tried to convoke one but were frustrated. Is Nig better for it now? IS she not still headed for the same breakup the North has been so jittery about? Not even the army can save Nig. Watch Syria and Yemen. Its more than just fiscal federalism, its a total re-structuring of Nig. Give Arewa the Sha'ria its been crying for and give the SE, SW, and SS the resource control, western education and development they 've been crying for. No need to shed blood over something that will become inevitable with time. R.I.P Mandalla Victims.
You Just Don't Get It!
Looks like you guys just do not get it...The Northerners wants negotiation, monthly salaries and overseas training for Boko Haram memebers just like we did for the thugs of the creeks!
Who says crime does not pay in Nigeria?
SECURITY GUARANTEED IN HELL
So ACF knew the terrorists and kept silent. Do they understand that it is a criminal offence to collaborate or protect criminals and terrorists?
THE ONLY PLACE THE SECURITY OF ANYONE WHO HAS BEEN RESPONSIBLE FOR DEATH OF INNOCENT CITIZENS IS GUARANTEED IS IN HELL.
Excisionist
DIVISION OF NIGERIA I STAND! WHAT ABOUT YOU???
This is the right time for this forced marriage called Nigeria to split.
I do not believe in One NIGERIA! I do not stand in One NIGERIA!
We should all realise now what OJUKWU was fighting for about 40 years ago. OJUKWU was more intelligent and forseeing that any personality in the so called, half baked country,Nigeria-wether dead or still alive today.
Jerry boy again?
So Jerry boy is awake now that the handwritting is on the wall.Was it not the same Jerry boy who was errand boy for Abacha and a pimp hiring indian prostitutes for his yahoo boss,who unleashed a reign of terror on Nigerians. Jerry boy, you will soon reap your reward,shameless bastard.
the positionof the ACF is a
the positionof the ACF is a complete nonsense and unacceptable. How there ACF dictates how BOKO HARAM should be treated. absolute nonsense
ACF ARE BOKO HARAM SPONSORS FULLSTOP
Every Southerner and Easterner should go through the out come of the meetings of the Northern Governors. They are all spitting in one pot. They sponsor these guys and they know them all. When a mad man comes out in the open place to dance, the thing that is beating the music for him is in the bush. Is it not the same way the Kidnappers are been sponsored by the bigwits and governors in the east? Occultic people controlling the affairs of a nation. Let me see how it will get better!!
God cannot be mocked!!
The lazy fools are the creator of the monsters,
imamagine nincompoops opting for Saudi-Arabia for diaalogue what did these tauts take us for? who among the southern leaders seem to tackle these blood suckers? the time has come that we must rise for SNC, preiod
TO YOUR TENT OH MY PEOPLE
We have no excuse not to convene national conference to peacefully part ways. Sanusi the CBN governor has already painted the AREWA position and the large body has now confirmed it. It is clear that boko haram is tool that the northern elements are using to make the country ungovernable as they promised if GEJ was elected President. It is sad to see GEJ fraternising with Atiku who is bent on doing anything to rule Nigeria. It cannot happen. So my people Niger Deltans, Ndigbo, Oduduwas, Middle Belters get ready to park and go home as separate nation: you may consider merging with others of like mind. We are finally there. Great.
ALTERNATIVES TO PROPOSED OIL SUBSIDY REMOVAL
The AFC is being hypocritical for not condemning Boko Haram group which falsely believe that the blacks in the south, west and eastern parts of Nigeria are kafiris and therefore sub human. This false belief is based on fake history written by the Europeans about Africa and the secret support and agreement between them and the Europeans to write off and or completely destroy the identity of the people of the Southern Area of Nigeria who are the first children of the Creator on earth and from whom, all other races emanated. To do this they, the Europeans fixed crooks and crooked men in top positions with fitting rewards and, with a new history of life, supported with horse on paper called religion, has given free passage for war mongers seeking for hegemony over the most godly people on earth
