I am beginning to question the rationale behind this incessant call for dialogue with terrorist. How will any reasonable person think that you can reason with unreasonable people??? Have any of these negotiators gone through the timeline of the bombings and killings so far??? Has any of them totaled the number of lives that these unreasonable faceless cowards killed so far and the number of innocent families affected so far??? Do they think that this will be their reaction if they were directly affected that is if they lost a limb or a member of their family to the unjust violence???
These people have conscientiously and deliberately targeted human beings and you say they have a point and therefore the Federal Government should invite their leaders to the round table. Killers??? Round table?
MEND in driving home their point (employed tactics that still respected the sanctity of the Human life) kidnapped but released their victims. They blew up oil facilities that, yes set us back but it could still be repaired but these terrorist under a most unreasonable and insane idea are causing irreparable damage to families, taking lives that they can’t bring back, and yet some people including a former Inspector General of Police in Nigeria are asking us to wipe our tears, bear our pains, bury our dead and negotiate with them. Note carefully that unlike the media and others I have deliberately chosen not to deign the terrorist group with any form of dignity and recognition by calling them by the name that espouses their stupid ideology. I am into development work and we have a practice of not discarding any idea no matter how foolish, but I daresay that their idea of anti western education is the most foolish of all ideas that any one will concoct.
The guns and ammunition they use in fighting their unfounded cause dropped from heaven? If they have issues with western education what stops them from carving out their own colony and remove themselves from civilization??? Why don’t they go back to the era before western education came by their lifestyle and shun any trappings of westernization??? After all, we have nudist colonies in certain countries and they don’t go around burning those that choose to wear clothes. We have people using creative means to fight for or promote a cause, why must our desire to seek attention be violence based in Nigeria (I never supported MEND’s methods too but MEND and these faceless cowards are miles apart in the question of sanity. MEND is just the lesser of two evils to me.)???
To the murderers and their supporters, is anybody forcing western education down your throats??? To those like Okiro that are calling for negotiations, what is the basis for negotiation??? What is the rationale??? Ok, let’s say we are now at the negotiating table so they say no more western education and the FG says ok, put down your arms we will abolish all schools, I am confused can any of you negotiators explain what this negotiation will look like??? As in, do you negotiate with criminals??? A couple of attention seeking cowards come together, start fomenting trouble, killing people and some people desire negotiation…. That is absurd and insane to say the least. Who do you want to negotiate with in the first place when nobody has chosen to come out in the open to say he is part of the cowards???
Let all media henceforth desist from giving them undue and undeserved attention.
Let all us from now henceforth adopt a practice and regime of strict vigilance. Let us not take anything for granted.
Let us work to heighten the level of our security consciousness. We must not take the law into our hands but instead let us report any suspicious looking person and package to nearest authorities.
These people are nothing else but cold blooded murderers that have no qualms whatsoever in taking human life and their cause is not just. I fail to see how they have been wronged and therefore see no basis for any form of negotiation with them. We have a constitution and we have laws. Aspects of these laws cover our response to such acts as a nation, therefore let us call a spade a spade and not a shovel and take necessary actions and sanctions against these cowards.
Take heed all of you who are calling for negotiation with criminals, please from henceforth if you have nothing good to say, keep quiet. You are inadvertently heating up the polity and encouraging all sorts by such statement. Some other unwise persons may rise up tomorrow to unleash mayhem on the innocent emboldened by your views. Nigeria does not need such now or ever please…
Finally, my advice to you faceless cowards is, stop the shedding of innocent blood, shun violence, remove your veil and come out from hiding. If you feel you have a just cause, come out and use creative means to push your cause. If you fail to heed my advice, there shall be no hiding place for you anywhere in the world. No hole will be big enough to contain you. You shall be fully exposed and the law will deal with you appropriately. Heed my words…
