Negotiating With Terrorists: Let The Chibok Parents Decide

Another article written by Dr. Peregrino Brimah. Read below and tell
us if you agree with him...

We have come to the conclusion that the only legitimate option for the
government of Nigeria in the predicament of the abducted 234 Chibok
girls is to entrust the decision to negotiate with the terrorists to
the parents of the girls.

We advise the Federal government of Nigeria to host a meeting of all
affected parents for them to make a decision on what course of action
Nigeria should take in handling the release of their wards. This
recommendation is in the best interest of the nation and the direct
victims of our failure. This decision on the next course of action is
made with due consideration of the reality that the government of
Nigeria, based on the history of its dealings with Boko Haram, leading
up to this notable abduction, has lost the credibility to make this
decision on behalf of the victims. The Nigerian civilians are the only
entity endowed with the credibility, responsibility and authority to
decide in this matter.

In regards to giving money for the release of the girls; if the
parents so decide, then so be it. There are mechanisms of controlling
the impact of financed terrorists, and it is time these are enacted.
Nigeria's commonwealth goes to terrorists' hands every day,
regardless. Nigeria's oil goddess still steals $4 million from the
poor masses including the Chibok families, every day in the kerosene
subsidy scam that the executive and senate leadership yet refuses to
debar. If this is not money going to terror, in frank terror to the
nation, then what is? Billions of dollars looted from Nigeria's oil
revenue by government officials and their cabal partners is what
finances terror. Thus, giving some money to these terrorists today if
the parents so decide, will be Nigeria-business as usual. We assure
you that the money you give them will not affect or in any way reduce
the rate at which we are going to be killing them. Boko Haram are
dead. The civilians have dug their graves.

In regards to prisoner swaps. We have earlier advised the Nigerian
government to visit Algeria for consultation on how the Algiers
government addressed their similar "Boko Haram" crises of the 90's
"Black decade." Apart from the Algerians officially training and
arming civilians to defend their neighborhoods, they decreed a
conditional amnesty by which terrorists who had not been directly
implicated in death or rape were released. If the Chibok parents so
decide, we believe Nigeria can exchange some of those women and youth
arrested who have not been directly involved in murder or rape in
exchange for the girls. Those convicted of rape and murder should have
long been killed.

We also strongly advise you not to listen to advice from any so-called
northern leaders. Many of those who shout loudest and come forward to
make suggestions to the government today have lost the credibility to
do so. Where were they during the four years of Boko Haram free
flowing carnage? Where were they when Churches, Mosques and farming
villages were destroyed across the north? We do not believe they care
about these 234 girls when they hardly cared about the 40-80,000 who
have been massacred. Most especially, please do not listen to certain
individuals who suddenly became Boko Haram "analysts" as a French
media organization referred to them. Their amazing ability to predict
Boko Haram's next moves to the letter have made them greatly suspect.
It is strongly advised you steer clear from these persons.

We also caution you against information and advice from foreign
"partners" and the nation's you are visiting in addressing this
Nigerian situation. Please realize the hesitance of these nations,
despite the Boko Haram holocaust, to declare the group a terror
organization. Please notice the UN's reluctance to do the same and to
place sanctions and declare resolutions against Nigerian government
officials and partners for their support and sponsorship of Boko Haram
terror. Nigerians have only Nigerians to blame and to consult in these
matters. We have only ourselves.

Thus, we advise a meeting of the parents during which they are
informed of the consequences of all decisions they take and they
confer and decide what decision Nigeria should take in this matter. If
they decide we use force at the risk of harm, we assure you, the
civilian army is on stand-by to accompany the military to search,
rescue and exterminate. It is time for the Nigerian people.

By God, no girl can die or be killed by a terrorist unless it is the
stipulated time of her death as decreed by God.

It is time to act fast. May the Merciful Almighty have mercy on us all.
