Amnesty International Public Statement

I really cuoldn't ask for more from this article.

I don't doubt the existence of Rights abuses in Nigeria, and the possibility of highhandedness among the Nigerian security agencies. But in a war, unless you are in the middle of it and recording incidents, you cannot be 100% certain, if you rely simply on tales or the accounts of both sides, as the accounts would be fraught with spins, bias and propaganda. The Boko haram insurgency or any act of terrorism is a WAR. Ask the Americans. In a situation where Boko Haram kills indiscriminately, AI cannot confirm for certain that the people allegedly killed 'extrajudicially' were not killed by Boko Haram.

In a WAR, the rules of engagement are relaxed. Otherwise, the killing of Bin Ladin is downright ASSASSINATION. And GUANTANAMO BAY would not be in existence. The Nigerian Govt or the AGF should not kowtow or fear AI's report, but should challenge them to VERIFY their reports and support it with verifiable facts, and not TALES from some biased RESEARCHERS.

You are either joking or you are writing from the dead. If your tale is correct you would have been shot a long while ago by the JTF. Sadly, it is people like you that feed Amnesty International (AI) with spurious and bogus tales. And unfortunately, tomorrow AI will compile another report and refer to you as one of their RESEARCHERS, even though you sat in the comfort of your living room to SPECULATE and CONJECTURE your tales.

AI does not truly know Nigerians and their penchant for lying, if not they would not believe the tales from their so-called RESEARCHERS. If a whole Legislator, FAROUK LAWAN, could lie, even though caught red handed AND ON CAMERA, talk less of their ORDINARY RESEARCHERS. I forgive AI, because foreigners are too trusting and would believe tales such as this one from Ibrahim Bama as truth. I don't rule out the possibility of Rights abuses, but it must be verifiable and not left to tales from the likes of Ibrahim.

Amnesty International, the political wing of Boko Haram has put out a statement begging the Nigerian Govt. to be soft on its military wing the Jamatu Al Sunna.

Amnesty International has become a tool to discredit developing countries. It didn't protest when Boko Haram was killing policemen and Christians in churches but it wants justice for Mohammed the BH leader. It wants Libyans to be tried for killing Gadaffi but who will try Gadaffi for killing Libyans? It condemns Nigeria for anti-gay legislation but did not condemn Kano people for killing Gideon Akaluka and dancing with his head on a stake. It did not write report for Apo 6. What about Odi or killing of MASSOB in the East even though Massob is non-violent movement? Where is their report? Where is the report against Guantanamo Bay and waterboarding in USA? They should go and sit down. Nigerians should never pay attention to them.

Amnesty International are poorly trained in their modus operandi. Granted that they had identified the heinous crime perpetrated by the Boko Haram and had equally identified the human rights abuses by the Nigerian security operatives, was it then enough for the Amnesty International to just itemize those and declare that Nigeria was carrying out human rights abuses? Did Amnesty International go further to find out the possible reasons that had informed Nigeria's commission of these alleged abuses? Or was Amnesty International just satisfied with condemnation of such alleged abuses? I think these Amnesty guys are intellectually lazy to carry out their self-mandated functions! Would Amnesty International be satisfied and gave Nigeria a clean bill of health if the Nigerian authorities just sat idly by and allowed Boko Haram to continue its crime unchallenged? I am sure this same Amnesty International would condemn Nigeria for not checking Boko Haram. Amnesty are a bunch of clowns.

To those that knows Borno and Yobe, they will understand that Governmrnt is just killing innocent citizen as Boko Haram...This is becouse whenever there was bomb blast in an area in Borno, The JTF will surround that area and shot any young man they come across without any investigation or your religion. If you think an joking pls come to Maiduguri and see whether JTF will not shot as member of Boko Haram.... To them (JTF) everybody is a boko haram member in Maiduguri hence the reason for the Genocide and Extra-Judicial killing!!!

Same old boko haramic ideas meant for africa alone. But none for those who use drones to kill innocent civilians in Pakistan. What has Amnesty International been able to do about the opposition parties being armed by Obama to kill at will in Syria and Libya? Boko haram goes about the Fulani North murdering people with impunity, while AI looks the other way for Buhari to escape. And these fake neocolonialist agencies, hardly ever think it wise to call for the trial of the leader of BH Alhaji Buhari @ the Hague over the post election riots in the North which led to the death of thousands of Nigerians.

You are the one that is simply stupid.How many years ago was slave trade n when did Amnesty come into being? You should have put your real name Mr. Coward. Imbecile.

Where was amnesty international when they america took my ancestors with chains round their necks like animals and ferried them with brutvl force accross the atlantic? ..where was amnesty int'l when the British, Dutch, French, Portugues etc invaded africa in the evil imperialist movement to rape counries and siphone their resources and imposing their governments on the people? ..where was amnesty when mineral resource exlpoitation and slave labour was the order of the day? Now, after they have stolen africa dry, they come up with these theories of delusion and deception. Surprisingly, many psycologically deranged continent Nigeria citizens believe in these useless theories made to obscure the evils ot their past.

If amnesty is serious, let them write about slave trade, imperial and apartied regimes and demand that prosecution be made via retroactive laws against countries like US,Britain France etc
Long live the SS & SE republic.
