What about churches? Yes

What about churches? Yes attaking a place of worship is wrong. But who does that? Is Muslims attacking Churches or christians attacking Churches? Those that recently attempted to attack COCIN church at Miya barkatai in Bauchi State are all Christians. Then are they Nothern Muslims? Be just pls.

Boko Haram

To us in the south -south , it is very clear, if jonathan could not go beyond 2015 as a result of 'performance ' then David Mark or any other qualified middle belta should get ready . Gone are the days these Hausa/Fulanis decide who govern this nation. Power will continue to rotate between the S/S, N/C, S/E and S/W of the country until these people repent. Let me finally remind my leader president jonathan that while you deploy troops to the N/W and N/E to counter these insurgency , you should as well deploy resources to other zones of the country so as to fast track development because the development of these zones is non negotiable.

They'r waging war against Muslims

Now you'r all complaining about BH killing Xristians...what did u say when muslims are brutally killd in plateau n southern kaduna?

Boko Haram, can never be an

Boko Haram, can never be an Islamic militancy! Islam it self mean Peace not war or violence. Boko Haram sect have their own way not the way of Islam tradition.

ARREST THIS MAN!!!

ARREST SHEHU SANNI , HE SOUNDS LIKE A SPOKESMAN FOR THIS GROUP.

Boko Haram the greatest enemy of the North

Sheu sani will do the North a great deal of Good by also showing BH member pictures of thousands of innocient Igbos and Yorubas killed by their members.The question sani should as BH is WHO DREW THE FIRST BLOOD? Yar'adua is will not just order Police to open fire on your members if they had conducted their religious activities in a peaceful manner. However the North should not celebrate now because BH is killing the Southerner. When all southerners now run out of the place then they will decent hard on Northerners for real, at that time there will be no help for them. S

Isamic Terrists/bh.& killing of IGBOS.

since the beginning of this useless group,they have being killing innocent igbos in northern Nigeria without any reason,no body or group has asked question on why their killings centered on the igbos neither has any spoken on the right of those innocent igbos killed in the north.it is important Nigerians keep correct records of them,civil war may not be good in a country twice or more.there4 let us be very careful.Nigeria is for all of us....

Boko Haram Speaks for Itself

What are Boko Haram Islamic terrorists asking for?

1. Stop Western education not only in the North but also in the whole of Nigeria

2. Implement Islamic Sharia law not only in the North but also in the whole of Nigeria

3. Force all Nigerians to became Muslims and to have Islamic education instead

4. Take over Aso Rock

Are these what Shehu Sani wants to negotiate is is he asking for "ransom" money from the Federal government?

Boko Haram Speaks for Itself

Every Tom, Dick, Harry and Sani wants to tell us what BH is and what BH wants and how to dialogue with them. Luckily, BH remains consistent in telling the world what it is and what it wants. BH can speak for itself and has severally spoken for itself. What it says is different from what Sani is saying. Sani's motive is therefore questionable.

A. What does HB want?

No Dialogue Until FG Adopts Sharia, Says Boko Haram http://allafrica.com/stories/201201301161.html

B. Who is financing BH?

1. We ‘re on Northern govs’payroll – Boko Haram
http://allafrica.com/stories/201201240026.html

2. We've No Problem With Jonathan - Boko Haram
http://allafrica.com/stories/201201241278.html

A campaign of misinformation is part of the grand plan. But the world can no longer be deceived. The UN security council says BH and sponsors are committing crime against humanity. Sorry Sani

Sanni a great hero.

I hope you will continue with your efforts all those enyamurais and those aladus are enemies of hausa/fulanis and muslim as well. Let them say soon they will say their last rubbish in hell..

U'r Right

You are onto something here. The original video i saw of Yusuf's execution showed him walking and then there was shooting and then the guy went down. This one porports to show the same Yusuf lying face down without his gown on him. Something fishy here. Anyway I have privileged info that Yar'Adua gave orders to execute the guy without trial. The decision had nothing to do with Jonatahn nor Christians as BH would want you to believe now. This whole nonsense has everything to do with the last election in which Jonathan fulfilled the constitutional mandate of replacing an absent president.

Vacuous Nonsense!!!!

This guy does not know what the hell he is talking about. I take that back:this guy knows what the hell is covering up. BH is a cover for Northern politicians who lost very badly in the last election and are going to continue losing badly in elections in the future.What these fools should do right now is to start mending fences and building allainces instead of financing terrorism. Can you imagine,God for bid, a future president of Northern extraction visiting ,say, Washington and the Americans raising the threat level to code red?These guys who wanna be president are all tainted forever as sponsors of terrorism.

what of the churches and

what of the churches and christian killed? can shehu sani answer about that?

shehu sani on boko haram

Shehu sani: why are u talking like an unlearned fellow? what about the churches and christians killed by boko haram? are they government agencies also?

is boko haram an arm of occupy 9ja project

@WAHALA AKA TUNDEMASH-what type of ideological war is boko haram fighting? The only thing that i am very grateful for is that u have shown us that shehu sani is the leader of boko haram. Again I am shocked to note that the security agencies most of whom we know are with boko haram like sani, could not detect the mess aljazeera made of the pictures which shehu sani doctored and sent for broadcast. The guy is dangerous. He lied to OBJ. Is he not the legal adviser to boko haram? Let him go and negotiate on their behalf with government. But even a pig will not fall for his lies again. Here is a man who hired youths to be demostrating and burning properties in the north, now wants to dialogue with government. In the niger delta, the militants often comes out if invited by government for talks-who is government going to talk to-is it shehu sani or odumakin. All members of occupy 9ja? Who is fooling who here?

Yoruba wake up

The story/vedio of Boko Haram

The story/vedio of Boko Haram aactivities by Sani Shahu is just fictional.This is because, there is no one that can die of gun shot un-noticed. Inmagine, people are shoot yet their hands and legs are still very firm waiting for death to come and take them away. Imposible!!!

Shehu Sanni is a Hero !!

The Boko Haram claim they want to "Destroy Nigeria, not Seperate Nigeria." Now, they're adding a new twist with the threat of "Total War" if the thug Al Mustapha is hanged. So, whose voice is a call for reason, @Deri/Ken Mani's demented railings for resource control or the control of BH's mayhem? We are where we are because of perceived injustice, fanning such sentiments with a hanging will definitely blow things out of control. The video and documented footage of the Biafran pogrom should be enough war movies. Aborigines need to stop drinking/talking and get a grip on things b4 we land in a gaugwire! Shehu Sanni risked his life to save the ugly monster's. It's only an idiot that'd see it as a set-up. OBJ is a flambouyant character no one needs to set-up, didn't another hero corner him at a Lagos airport road and beat the lights out of him? @ Deri, be grateful to Shehu Sanni for not just pointing out the road to the Bokos. Your mentor's mentor OBJ dodged a bullet !

Shehu Sani and Odumakin are buhari cult leaders in BH

Shehu Sani and Odumakin are confused minds. They can do anything to have buhari take over the government through regime change. They lure people with the help of Bakare, a Moslem who converted to christianity now wants to use the pulpit to trick youths into protesting on behalf of boko haram. The pictures shown here are fakes. Shehu Sani and Odumakin should do well to show the victims of the bomb blast in mandalla, adamawa, kano and maiduguri. Let them take the pictures to NTA Enugu and see the reaction of the masses over there. See the camera and the lap top on the table. That is where they photoshop the pictures for the public. Odumakin looks so mean, he does not present himself as somebody who has respect for human life. This guy can kill for money.

Yes my friend we should take

Yes my friend we should take the example of Israel.
I really think Israel fights terrorism better than the US.
Oh my god I would like to be on the battle field and kill terrorists for the freedom of my people. What an honour to die fighting people who want us to bow down before them (indeed bowing down before their god is the same as bowing down before them). They think they are the only people ready to die, so they really don't know us in the south.

your hero is an idiot, he

your hero is an idiot, he never stands for human rights while it is in his title. He stands for Islamic rights to kill non muslims and not get punished for it, and even get rewarded for it. He keeps defending boko haram so therefore he is a terrorist and should be shot. There was a time he was threatened by Blokos Harem and then he started hiding, yeah, you would think that a man who can confront Sani Abacha can also confront blokos harem. This shows how cowardly inconsistent he is.

ON ibn Tamiyyah

I did agree with Shehu Sani on the way to tackle the Boko Haram, but disagree on explanations concerning Ibn Tamiyya. Ibn Tamiyyah is a known icon among the Muslim Ummah, but honoured more by members of Ahl-Sunnah wa Jama'ah which has a sizable follower-ship in Muslim world of today. I do not think that Muslims that believe in the ideologies propagated by Ibn Tamiyyah understand his teachings as it is interpreted by the Boko Haram sect.

@ Deri aka Ken Mani : You're Hurting Dumbo With Ur Timidity

@Deri
The Taliban are not fighting a "drug war", they're fighting an idelogical war like the ETA, IRA, FARC, etc. All these wars have violence and negotiation in common. Isn't Dumbo calling for dialogue now, so what's your point? Fact is, innocent lives are being lost and the least any reasonable person (like Shehu Sani) can do is encourage dialogue. It is ignorant aborigines like you he meant by "utterances from the ND" as not being helpful. 3yrs ago, I called the police killings a carnage. Today, it's still a barbaric carnage against humanity!

As @Ken Mani you said, "falsely potray (Dumbo) as incompetent." The AU roundly sent him packing due to incompetence! CNN, BBC, Al-Jazeera, Panapress and 99% of Nigerians are also wrong abi? Finally, Shehu Sani "saved" OBJ's life by being present. BH claim the order to take out the monster was aborted at the last minute. So, your "plot was to lure OBJ to maiduguri and have him killed" is reckless thinking. Aborigines!

Ways to tackle boko haram

If don have anything to contribute jus short up,who tell boko haram are only one particular tribe or religion many tribe frm the north to d south,muslims and christain belong this boko haram eve ur tribe too belong to boko haram so just short up ur mouth.

DO NOT CALL BUHARI BOKO HARAM

If one is going to call the commission of shari,a in Zamfara as the beginning of boko haram , i can say he is more a stupid because he is trying to all northern states where shari,a is commissioned as boko haram . We will never give-up whatsoever just because a foolish anti-shari.a man will call the establishment of shari,a as boko haram. ANPP is never the master-mind behind the establishment of shari,a . We differentiate ourselves far away from BOKO HARAM for their bomb attacks , not the call of shari,a estalishment .

Word of advice.

Some of the people commenting here were idiots, they can't think beyond ethnics and instead of them listen and learn when the sensesible were talking you see them throwing abuses.

Babaginda was right when he said " the youths were not capable to take leadership of Nigeria".

People like DERI were more dangerous than BH.

RE: SAAD IBRAHIM the Izala king is out again with his goliaths

"... The incident in question took place under Yara Adua a Fulani. Why did he a Moslem, not negotiate with BH then? ..."

AT THAT TIME THE NIGERIAN SECURITY FORCES TREATED BOKO HARAM LIKE THEY TREATED ORDINARY NIGERIANS, USING BRUTAL FORCE SINCE B/H WAS NOT AN ARMED GROUP. BUT THE SAME MUSLIM YARADUA NEGOTIATED WITH YOUR CHRISTIAN ND MILITANTS, SO WHAT IS WRONG IN A CHRISTIAN JONATHAN NEGOTIATING WITH MUSLIM B/H?

"Which part of 9JA is Yusuf from? Where are his relations? ... the number of humans that Yusuf killed in Zamfara state, "

LOOKS LIKE YOU DID NOT WATCH THE VIDEO BEFORE YOU COMMENT. YUSUF IS A NIGERIAN AND HIS RELETIVES ARE ALIVE IN NIGERIA. IF YUSUF IS A MASS MURDERER THE GOVT SHOULD HAVE TAKEN HIM BEFORE THE COURTS.

THE REAL MADNESS IS FIGHTING PEOPLE WHO CAN SEE YOU BUT YOU CANT SEE THEM. AND THE INSULT TO THOSE KILLED IS THE BEHAVIOUR OF GEJ THAT ASSURE THE PEOPLE THAT HE WILL CRUSH B/H ONLY TO HAVE PEOPLE KILLED FOR NOTHING.

I really commend Shehu Sanni

I really commend Shehu Sanni for his efforts and passion for Nigeria.He was one of those activists insisted that he will not leave Nigeria during Abacha regime while other activists fled in disguise,well I don't care what people say about you,you are a great man and struggle hero and history will judge u wen time come.Good job!!!!!!!!!!
