Sallah doesn’t stop killing – Yerima

The whole things buoys down to politics as far as I am concerned and what is happening is that they are playing over the sensibilities of Nigerians. So, it is high time we as a people be vigilant, remain focused and insist that the right thing must be done.


Those in powers, it is obvious that they lack the political will to address these issues.

A common man in Nigeria has become the scapegoat to this so called insurgency because somebody wants to make a point. And I made a recent analysis and looked at the 29 students that were killed.

What point does somebody want to make by killing innocent lives of Nigerians. Students who were harmless, totally harmless, the future of Nigeria; now for whatever reason, I can’t imagine someone going in to kill those innocent souls.

That is on one side. On the second side, whether it is because of Ramadan or not, because me, I see it as an indictment on Isman because there is no where Islamically where they said you should kill anyone whether it is Ramadan or no Ramadan. You can’t take the life of an innocent person. It is unislamic.

There is no way anybody can say because it is Ramadan and for that reason we are not going to commit any crime and we want to be polite, we want forgiveness, that is an insult on our people. So, to me, there is more to it. It is high time; we began to think of what to do to protect ourselves as a people.

We cannot trust anybody on either side, whether on the side of the so called Boko Haram or the side of Government. It is high time; we began to think of alternatives for Nigeria.

Military Operations in North

I am not an expert security wise, but with commonsense, I do not know what security pattern was that for them to switch off communication where people will cry for help and the phone will not be useful for them to call any intervention or any other means for rescue because the operation that was conducted in Yobe State was not done with five minutes.

It took an hour for them to shoot them, maim and burn the place.It took some hours and the Security that has declared the state of emergency couldn’t do anything. Some thing is wrong somewhere.

To me, even the security votes we that are being given to the security must be checked properly because if this money continues to get into the hands of government, no one will know that the protection of life and property will be taken serious because the moment there is no killing, these money will not be coming. So, for that reason people will continue to die. Enough is enough.

FG is contradicting itself —Alhaji Balarabe Musa

Actually, we are not wining any of the many wars in country including insurgence, economic, political, etc we are not wining any of them. The Federal Government has banned Boko Haram yet it is taking to Boko Haram. This is a contradiction. This is what has been happing since the while.

But in spite of the contradiction, the only thing people hope to see is success towards peace which doesn’t seem to be the case now. The killing continues. Unfortunately we have not gone to the root of the problem. Right from the beginning, people said it is emergency rule that is needed because emergency rule will only aggravate the matter.

The only thing is to tighten the security and go into the root of the matter. The root of the matter is first of all dealing with this nasty unemployment. Secondly, wining the confidence of Nigerians who will help the government either identify the insurgents.
