Perry Brimah: How To Defeat Boko Haram, As Exposed By “Abubakar Shekau”
The Boko Haram terrorist
movement released a latest video to update Nigeria on their current
status. In it they claimed the formation of a nonsensical caliphate,
plagiarizing from the concurrently running operations of fellow loony
ISIS terrorists in Iraq and Syria.
In the 40 minute video released
by the usual publicists, only one important message and piece of
information was of note: Boko Haram is scared of the Civilian-JTF. The
man who spoke in the video, claiming to be Abubakar Shekau – the
serially replaced leader figure – sounded several “warnings” to the
Civilian-JTF, literally begging them (us as I feel a part of their
association with their permission) to leave the terrorists alone.
“Shekau” severally threatened to kill us for slaughtering his men in
hundreds. He even went as far as describing the process in which the
Civilian-JTF professionally screens which of his members to kill. Shekau
said: “you ask of them which of them have blood on their hands; which
of them have actually killed people
and all those who admit to having
murdered you humiliate and kill them.”
This
is not the first time that in new videos the only enemy and threat
“Shekau” warns are the Civilian-JTF. In his video release after the Giwa
barrack attacks, Shekau similarly made no mention of the Nigerian army,
but only promised fire and brimstone on the Civilian-JTF. In this
recent video, “Shekau” said he will kill us whether we continue to kill
his men or not, so funny, he said he will “kill us, the Civilian-JTF as a
prevention of our later becoming infidels.” Rather desperate, angry and
senseless.
In
summary, the Nigerian army are Boko Haram’s friends. I do respect them a
lot and appreciate the ultimate sacrifice they are making, but the
truth is the truth. The Nigerian government has completely succeeded in
embezzling all the funds needed to maintain the great army Nigeria is
known for. Our troops are sent to battle Boko Haram, ill-equipped,
hungry, unmotivated and unsupported. This is why they are deserting the
army in hundreds and fleeing to Cameroon when they are close enough to
the border. It is not their fault. Why should they die when the
executive leadership protects and dines with the politician sponsors of
terror? When the Jonathan administration in five years of limitless
terror, has not apprehended and punished a single politician terror
sponsor? The army chiefs are dancing with president Jonathan as they
divert the billions budgeted for security. Boko Haram loves the Nigerian
army, whoever watched the latest video will see once again the glee
with which the terrorists received new loads of Nigerian ammunition from
stores the Nigerian army ran and left behind. Yes, the terrorists
easily pick up APC’s, tanks and ammunition from the army. They no longer
need to import their “sophisticated” weapons from Libya, they get it
freely from the stashes Lt. Gen. Minimah sent to Borno. Shekau literally
said, “thanks Minimah” in his latest video.
For
now, the only way to defeat Boko Haram is for us people to rise up and
PUSH the president of Nigeria to approve the acquisition of arms by
civilians, hunters, farmers and community patriots in the affected
northeast, so they can continue destroying the cowardly Boko Haram.

is paradoxical, the Nigerian army is afraid of Boko Haram while Boko
Haram is afraid of the Civilian-JTF. The Civilian-JTF have the
motivation, courage and rightful anger that makes them the only resort
Nigeria has to defeating Boko Haram; as well as being masters of the
terrain.
The
Chibok parents recently made the ultimate sacrifice by deciding and
telling Nigeria’s president that they had “performed the burial rites of
their daughters,” and now “needed the bodies,” that the President can
go ahead and order the invasion of Sambisa and sacrifice any of their
daughters he has to in the process of defeating Boko Haram once and for
all. With that went the last excuse Nigeria’s President sold for the
inability of his sabotaged military to defeat Boko Haram.
Nigeria
is desperate. We urgently need to get the last civilian response to end
this terror. Will President Jonathan listen to us? Well, I am not
counting on it. He is known for dancing when our blood is being
“shared.” But as a people, as Boko Haram keeps killing our loved ones
and gaining territory, we must do our best and petition the government
of Nigeria to act responsibly- and immediately approve and support the
proper arming of the available thousands of patriotic Civilian-JTF youth
and volunteers from around Nigeria to destroy Boko Haram before Boko
Haram destroys us. This pogrom has lasted way too long. It is time to
hang these bush rats.
