As repugnant as Boko Haram is, we shouldn't rush to make any hasty conclusion. We need to do a thorough analysis of what has led to their emergence and what makes them thick, with the Nigerian army displaying pitiful cowardice and impotence in fighting them.

In my humble opinion, Boko Haram is the baby that blatant and persistent corruption gave birth to.

Nigeria had it all, fertile lands, abundant mineral resources, oil and plenty of human capital. Nigeria earned $400 billion dollars in the last 4 years under Jonathan from oil exports but the tragedy is that majority of the people still live under abject poverty. Corruption has permeated every fabric of the society, and it is that condition that has provided fertile grounds for Boko Haram to crop up.

In Ghana, it seems our politicians are dancing to Yentie Obiara. They do not care a hoot if country burns or sinks. The same corruption traits that has brought Nigeria to its knees is showing up in Ghana. We had better kill corruption or corruption will kill Ghana.

We had better moved with alacrity to spread growth, development and hope to all corners of Ghana. The present crop of leaders are insolent, mediocre, incompetent and corrupt. Almost all economic indicators have taken a downward slide, and we wonder why armed robbery and prostitution is on the ascendency. Read, people, the signs are on the wall. Boko Haram is the product of a failed state where corruption has paralysed all state institutions.

Author:-Mahmoud...
The president has been saying that he tried to introduce electronic payment and acquisition systems into the public sector {to reduce human contact with cash} in his effort to fighting corruption, but lamented that the systems were often resisted.

This has become so monotonous that Ghanaians are beginning to wonder whether the president is actually serious and interested in fighting corruption as he claims, or it's just another crocodile's tears to deceive Ghanaians into believing that he is making an effort, while the government and its cronies amass billions of dollars at the expense of this struggling HIPC nation.
Why should Ghanaians hire a president that can't even introduce an electronic system successfully into the public sector to save us from criminals masquerading as civil servants? Mr. Mahama must be seen to be fighting corruption with all his might rather than go on lamenting helplessly like the rest of us who hired him to do the job.

GH. Sovereign Wealth Fund
Corruption Endemic in Africa: Corruption was set up by the colonial overlords who used their western style education to train Africans to be bureaucrats in the civil service. This propagating bureaucracy and corrtion to favor the colonialists. This is why Boko Haram for example are livid with the corrupt, fiscal number changing, election ballot stuffing, nature of these western educated, govt bureaucrats in naija. Will Boko haram end up in Ghana? Why not?
If the government can attempt to find solutions to these 3 issues. Things will be better. Instead, they borrow the funds and steal. Jail or even death is a must!
Book: "Dead Aid" by Dambisa Moyo
Every economist, African leader, finance minister must read this book!
Book: "why nations fail": an abundance of natural resources is a national curse!
These nations with natural resource wealth on average have worse financial economies than nations who don't. Why you ask? Weak institutions, corruption, bad governors, managers!
Ghana Sovereign Wealth Fund by Martin Skankar.....Norwegian Ministry of Finance
What is "Dutch Disease"?
1. 30% of proceeds from oil, gold, diamonds, cocoa revenues etc should be deposited yearly in a Ghana Sovereign Wealth Fund account, a national 401k. This money will never be touched by any govt, period! This money will be invested all over the world in socially constructive projects. Projects to be excluded can include chemical nuclear projects, environmentally disastrous projects, product based exclusions like tobacco, walmart(human rights abuses) will all be excluded. The ROI from this fund will be used to supplement infrastructure projects, free education etc...
2. A National Gas/oil Tax: Tax Revenue on all consumer gas sales, tolls, solar, wind energy sales will be deposited yearly in a federally administered Highway Trust Fund to fund new and refurbishing roads and transportation initiatives. Add tax revenue from truck/4x4 sales for the list. List this fund on the gsx or in a mutual fund/bond. Flagstaff House will tap intl this Gas tax and match all funds ponied up by the respective regions/local govt
3. Govt officials must stop buying state contracts and selling them off as investments to the highest bidder. In the end, less quality materials are used in building infrastructure, and the nation's suffers.
4. Police Corruption: police officers often borrow monies to pay bribes/sign contracts to their bosses to get these jobs. So they must collect bribes from motorists etc to pay off their bosses every month until their debts are paid off. So guess how many police superiors are in on this corruption pyramid scheme?

Ghanaman, I agree spot on with you. Right now, the only thing that can divert attention and wrath from the pitiful, utterly corrupt, wicked and gross incompetence of the Mahama govt and give them some sense of reprieve or relief, is some form of outside aggression that will naturally rally Ghanaians together in unity of purpose.

As far as I know, Boko Haram has not anywhere and at any time, made any intended threats against Ghana. So why is it that it is only Mahama who has been suggesting and proposing that Ghana is a fertile ground for a Boko Haram attack?

It is unbelievable that a head of state can be so recklessly and carelessly creating fear and panic in the public domain by publicly taunting terrorists to attack his own country and even going on further to suggest to them the most vulnerable areas to attack. What nonsense is this?

Again, as far as I am concerned, it is the incompetence of Mahama and his pathetic NDC govt who are the greatest threat to the peace, stability and survival of the people of this country and the country itself.

The terrorists are the looting brigade of NDC party officials. How can Ghana fight terror with its fat cat belly soldiers. The country lacks the capacity, knowledge and intelligence to fight terror. Boko Harem has even outwitted the Nigerian government. How much can Ghana do if even the West African giant is overwhelmed. Ghana and Africa lacks counter terror skills and the drive and motivation to make any thing happen. I think this Dramani guy is trying to run and hide from the impending dumsor demo.

Well, your analysis may be right, but why would they get internal support, if there is good harmony between Moslems and Christians. Honestly, if Ghana Christians want to follow America and Jewish and declare war on Islam, you definitely see jihadist who will get full. My advice is that we should avoid insults on each other's religion and be tolerant. After all, Moslems and Christians have been living together for thousands of years, so why should we start to fight each other.Believe it or not, its America and Jewish people who doesn't want the world to live in peace. America is pretending to be peace makers in the world, but they're rather the most terrorists country in the world.

It is a disheartening to hear the President regurgitate the same blatant nonsense his interior minister and two security experts Anning and Danso shamelessly peddled a fortnight ago.....that a Boko Haram attack on Ghana was a distinct possibility in the not-too-distant future. This is absolutely fear-induced wolf-cries from the President who ought to know better.

Perhaps, someone ought to educate the President and the interior minister on B-Haram.

The Nigerian terror group does not have Ghana in its crosshairs. Far from it. It is not well resourced to extend its deadly activities to our shores....it will first have to contend with the gerdarmaries of Benin and Togo and for good measure, it has its hands full at the moment what with Chadian, Cameroon,Nigerian and Nigerien troops hot on its heels. Ghana is least of its worries.

The claim that Ghana would be attacked is just plain delusional....and it is being bandied around by officials who ought to know that our nation is markedly different from Nigeria with its severe religious fault-lines...Christian south and Muslim north.

Northern Nigeria has a history of Islamic fundamentalism dating back to the days of Usman Dan Fodio in the 19th century.....his descendants are continuing the tradition he started....

Ghana has not contributed troops to the effort against B-Haram thus the chances of an attack are remote and distant. And Mahama's leadership role in the region is not a pretext for B-Haram to launch a pincher attack.

And more crucially, the northern region is not throbbing with insatiable Islamic revolution....Ghanaian Muslims are well integrated into society, least marginalized and are not in the least open the brand of Islam that has caused so much heartache in the world. And lest I forget, Ghana does not have fire-breathing, hate-spewing mullahs trying to brainwash young muslims into jihad.....Mr. Mahama spare us the balloony.

.....But preparation is necessary.

Below, we just posted a Ghana-connection to ISIL, by way of Germany and Syria, etc., from today's Huffington Post.

This is serious business!

Our senses is, Mr. Mahama must be more retrospective. This should not by the type of information you casually communicate. It ought to be through official communication, perhaps "SECRET"-tagged.

Further, Mr. Mahama should at this stage have several plans in hand showing how the Ghana military, in coordination with the Police and other responsible government agencies, will handle, contain, and wipe out any types of activities of that nature from a terror group.

You say "...Ghanaian Muslims are well integrated into society..."

But on the other side, there are reported religion-based clashes between Muslims and Christians(SDA), over a piece of land, we believe in the Brong Ahafo Region-just yesterday.

So the question for Mr. Mahama is this: Do you have the threat-coded Contingency Plans?

And how are they?

I share your perspective Mr. Mojingles. Our president should rather focused on creating harmonious ecumenical relations between Ghanaian Christians and their Muslim compatriots.

Besides, if you are calculating to launch an offensive against B-Haram, you plan it secretly with your military, without letting them know of your intention.

ECOWAS military action against B-Harem should also be covert and not overt.

Former (GHANA-BORN) Rapper 'Deso Dogg' Named On Terrorist List For Islamic State Connection

(The Huffington Post |
By Cavan Sieczkowski
Posted: 02/10/2015 11:35 am EST Updated: 02/10/2015 11:59 am EST)

A former rapper has landed on the United States' global terrorism list over his connection to the Islamic State group.

On Monday, the U.S. Department of State announced Denis Cuspert is now a Specially Designated Global Terrorist. The U.S. says Cuspert, 39, who goes by the name "Abu Talha al-Almani," appears to be a recruiter for the militant group, also known as ISIS or ISIL. He has appeared in numerous videos for the Islamic State, including one from early November in which he holds the severed head of a man who supposedly opposed the organization. From the Department of State:

Cuspert has pledged an oath of loyalty to ISIL leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi and appears to serve as an ISIL recruiter with special emphasis on recruiting German speakers to ISIL. Cuspert is emblematic of the type of foreign recruit ISIL seeks for its ranks – individuals who have engaged in criminal activity in their home countries who then travel to Iraq and Syria to commit far worse crimes against the people of those countries ... Cuspert has been a willing pitchman for ISIL atrocities. Cuspert is also wanted by the German government on suspicion of involvement in terrorist activities in his home country.

Denis Cuspert was born in 1975 to Ghanian and German parents, according to Germany's Local newspaper. He rapped under the name "Deso Dogg" in Berlin as far back as 2002 but began associating with extremists in 2010. Two years later, he left to join the Islamic State in Syria.

The former hip-hop artist, who achieved modest success in Germany and even toured with rapper DMX, has since spoken out against his old life in propaganda for the group, according to Yahoo!.

"I was a sinner. I lived in sin before I turned to Islam. Surrounded by music, drugs, alcohol and women," he said in one video, urging Muslims around the world to join the Islamic State caliphate.

According to the International Centre For Radicalisation Studies, the number of foreign fighters from western countries who have joined militants in Syria and Iraq, including the Islamic State group, has risen to almost 4,000. Between 500 and 600 of them are Germans.

Iraq expert Falko Walde told Germany's Die Welt that the Islamic State's western fighters are important to the group for propaganda purposes. "It's important for the terror group to say its fighters are not just from Iraq, Syria and the Gulf states, but also from Europe," Walde said.

He was not born in Ghana, raised in Ghana, schooled, employed or acculturated in Ghana in anyway.

From the name alone, perhaps only his mother might be from Ghana.

Those of them who don't want to be seen as Ghanaians, or even as Africans, like Cuspert, survive on the margins and off the crumbs of racist tables, while the good ones proclaim our name and their ancestry and say they want to play football for us.

The objectives of the US military presence in Africa are well documented: counter Chinese influence and control strategic locations and natural resources including oil reserves. This was confirmed more than 8 years ago by the US State Department:In 2007, US State Department advisor Dr. J. Peter Pham commented on AFRICOM’s strategic objectives of “protecting access to hydrocarbons and other strategic resources which Africa has in abundance, a task which includes ensuring against the vulnerability of those natural riches and ensuring that no other interested third parties, such as China, India, Japan, or Russia, obtain monopolies or preferential treatment.” (Nile Bowie, CIA Covert Ops in Nigeria: Fertile Ground for US Sponsored Balkanization Global Research, 11 April 2012)At the beginning of February, AFRICOM’s “head General David Rodriguez called for a large-scale US-led ‘counterinsurgency’ campaign against groups in West Africa during remarks at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington, DC:In similar remarks at a the US Army West Point academy last week, US Special Operations Command (SOCOM) chief General Joseph Votel said that US commando teams must prepare for new deployments against Boko Haram and the Islamic State. ” (Thomas Gaist, US AFRICOM Commander Calls for “Huge” Military Campaign in West Africa, World Socialist Web Site, February 02, 2015)Mark P. Fancher highlighted the hypocrisy and the “imperialist arrogance” of western countries, which “notwithstanding the universal condemnation of colonialism”, are evermore willing “to publicly declare (without apologies) their plans to expand and coordinate their military presence in Africa.” (Mark P. Fancher, Arrogant Western Military Coordination and the New/Old Threat to Africa, Black Agenda Report, 4 February 2015)Now more troops from Benin, Cameroon, Niger, Nigeria and Chad are being sent to fight against Boko Haram.This new war on yet another shadowy terrorist entity in Africa is reminiscent of the failed Kony 2012 propaganda campaign cloaked in humanitarian ideals. It is used as a smoke screen to avoid addressing the issue of the victims of the war on terror, the real causes of terrorism and to justify another military invasion. It is true that Boko Haram makes victims, however the goal of Western intervention in Africa is not to come to their rescue.The deadliest conflict in the world since the Second World War and still raging is happening in Congo and the Western elite and its media couldn’t care less. That alone shows that military interventions are not intended to save lives.To understand why the media focuses on Boko Haram, we need to know what it is and who is behind it. What is the underlying context, what interests are being served?Is Boko Haram another US clandestine operation?Boko Haram is based in northeast Nigeria, the most populated country and largest economy in Africa. Nigeria is the largest oil producer of the continent with 3.4% of the World’s reserves of crude oil.In May 2014, African Renaissance News published an in-depth report on Boko Haram, wondering whether it could be another CIA covert operation to take control of Nigeria:[T]he greatest prize for AFRICOM and its goal to plant a PAX AMERICANA in Africa would be when it succeeds in the most strategic African country, NIGERIA. This is where the raging issue of BOKO HARAM and the widely reported prediction by the United States Intelligence Council on the disintegration of Nigeria by 2015 comes into perspective…(Atheling P Reginald Mavengira, “Humanitarian Intervention” in Nigeria: Is the Boko Haram Insurgency Another CIA Covert Operation? Wikileaks, African Renaissance News, May 08, 2014)In the 70?s an 80?s Nigeria assisted several African countries “in clear opposition and defiance to the interests of the United States and its western allies which resulted in a setback for Western initiatives in Africa at the time.” (Ibid.)Nigeria exerted its influence in the region through the leadership of the Economic Community of West African States Monitoring Group (ECOMOG, right), an army consisting of soldiers from various African countries and set up by the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) and which intervened in the Liberian civil war in the 90?s. Liberia was founded in 1821 by the US and led by American-Liberians for over a century.The Western powers, first and foremost the US, are obviously not willing to let Africans have a multinational army in which they have no leading role. ACRI, which later became Africom, was formed in 2000 to contain Nigeria’s influence and counter ECOMOG, thus avoiding the emergence of an African military force led by Africans.According to Wikileaks reports mentioned in Mavengira’s article above, the US embassy in Nigeria serves as an“operating base for wide and far reaching acts of subversion against Nigeriawhich include but [are] not limited to eavesdropping on Nigerian government communication, financial espionage on leading Nigerians, support and funding of subversive groups and insurgents, sponsoring of divisive propaganda among the disparate groups of Nigeria and the use of visa blackmail to induce and coerce high ranking Nigerians into acting in favour of US interests.” (Mavengira, op., cit., emphasis added)Mavengira is part of the GREENWHITE Coalition, “a citizen’s volunteer watchdog made up of Nigerians of all ethnic groups and religious persuasions.” He writes that the ultimate goal of the American clandestine operations in his country is “to eliminate Nigeria as a potential strategic rival to the US in the African continent.” (Ibid.)An investigation into Boko Haram by the Greenwhite Coalition revealed that the “Boko Haram campaign is a covert operation organized by the American Central Intelligence Agency, CIA and coordinated by the American Embassy in Nigeria.” The U.S has used its embassy for covert operations before. The one in Benghazi was proven to be a base for a covert gun-running operation to arm the mercenaries fighting against Bashar Al-Assad in Syria. As for the embassy in Ukraine, a video from November 2013 emerged recently showing a Ukrainian parliamentarian exposing it as the central point of yet another clandestine operation designed to foment civil unrest and overthrow the democratically-elected government.The Greenwhite Coalition report on Boko Haram reveals a three stage plan of the National Intelligence Council of the United States to “Pakistanize” Nigeria, internationalize the crisis and divide the country under a UN mandate and occupying force. The plan “predicts” Nigeria’s disintegration for 2015. It is worth quoting at length:The whole [National Intelligence Council] report actually is a coded statement of intentions on how [by] using destabilization plots the US plans to eventually dismember Nigeria […]Stage 1: Pakistanizing NigeriaWith the scourge of Boko Haram as an existential reality, in the coming months the spate of bombings and attacks on public buildings are likely to escalate.The goal is to exacerbate tension and mutual suspicion among adherents of the two faiths in Nigeria and leading to sectarian violence [...]Stage 2: Internationalizing the Crisis[T]here will be calls from the United States, European Union and United Nations for a halt to the violence. [...] For effect, there will be carpet bombing coverage by the International media on the Nigerian crisis with so-called experts discussing all the ramifications who will strive to create the impression that only benevolent foreign intervention could resolve the crisis.Stage 3: The Great Carve out under UN MandateThere will be proposals first for an international peace keeping force to intervene and separate the warring groups and or for a UN mandate for various parts of Nigeria to come under mandated occupying powers. Of course behind the scenes the US and its allies would have secretly worked out which areas of Nigeria to occupy guided as it were by naked economic interests […] (Ibid., emphasis added)In 2012, Nile Bowie wrote:The Nigerian Tribune has reported that Boko Haram receives funding from different groups from Saudi Arabia and the UK, specifically from the Al-Muntada Trust Fund, headquartered in the United Kingdom and Saudi Arabia’s Islamic World Society [8]. During an interview conducted by Al-Jazeera with Abu Mousab Abdel Wadoud, the AQIM leader states that Algeria-based organizations have provided arms to Nigeria’s Boko Haram movement “to defend Muslims in Nigeria and stop the advance of a minority of Crusaders” [9].It remains highly documented that members of Al-Qaeda (AQIM) and the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group (LIFG) who fought among the Libyan rebels directly received arms [10] and logistical support [11] from NATO bloc countries during the Libyan conflict in 2011[...]Image: Abdelhakim Belhadj, rebel leader during the 2011 war in Libya and former commander of the Al-Qaeda-linked Libyan Islamic Fighting Group.As covertly supporting terrorist organizations to achieve foreign policy aims appears to be the commanding prerequisite of foreign policy operations under the Obama Administration, Boko Haram exists as a separate arm of the US destabilization apparatus, aimed at shattering Africa’s most populous nation and biggest potential market. (Nile Bowie, CIA Covert Ops in Nigeria: Fertile Ground for US Sponsored Balkanization Global Research, 11 April 2012)Reports also indicate that some Nigerian commanders may be involved in fuelling the insurgency.According to the report, a Nigerian soldier in Borno state confirmed that Boko Haram attacked Gamboru Ngala in their presence but their commander asked them not to repel the attack. The soldier told BBC Hausa Service that choppers hovered in the air while the attacks were ongoing. 300 people were killed, houses and a market burnt while soldiers watched and were ordered not to render assistance to those being attacked. The soldier said that the Boko Haram insurgency will end when superior officers in the army cease to fuel it.At the abductions of Chibok girls, one soldier in an interview told SaharaReporters,“…we were ordered to arrest vehicles carrying the girls but just as we started the mission, another order was issued that we should pull back. I can assure you, nobody gave us any directives to look for anybody.”Some soldiers suspect that their commanders reveal military operations to the Boko Haram sect. (Audu Liberty Oseni, Who is Protecting Boko Haram. Is the Nigerian Government involved in a Conspiracy?, africanexecutive.com, May 28, 2014)Could it be that these commanders have been coerced by elements in the U.S. embassy, as suggested by the aforementioned Greewhite Coalition investigation?Boko Haram: The next chapter in the fraudulent, costly, destructive and murderous war on terror?It has been clearly demonstrated that the so-called war on terror has increased terrorism. As Nick Turse explained:[Ten] years after Washington began pouring taxpayer dollars into counterterrorism and stability efforts across Africa and its forces first began operating from Camp Lemonnier [Djibouti], the continent has experienced profound changes, just not those the U.S. sought. The University of Birmingham’s Berny Sèbe ticks off post-revolutionary Libya, the collapse of Mali, the rise of Boko Haram in Nigeria, the coup in the Central African Republic, and violence in Africa’s Great Lakes region as evidence of increasing volatility. “The continent is certainly more unstable today than it was in the early 2000s, when the U.S. started to intervene more directly,” he told me. (Nick Turse, The Terror Diaspora: The U.S. Military and Obama’s Scramble for Africa, Tom Dispatch, June 18, 2013)What exactly does the U.S. seek in Africa?When it comes to overseas interventions, decades of history have shown that the stated intents of the U.S. Army are never its real intents. The real intent is never to save humans, but always to save profits and power. US-NATO interventions do not save. They kill.US-led interventions since the beginning of the century have killed hundreds of thousands, if not over a million innocent people. It’s hard to tell because NATO does not really want to know how many civilians it kills. As The Guardian noted in August 2011, except for a brief period, there was “no high-profile international project dedicated to recording deaths in the Libya conflict”.In February 2014, “at least 21,000 civilians [were] estimated to have died violent deaths as a result of the war” in Afghanistan according to Cost of War. As for Iraq, by May 2014 “at least 133,000 civilians [were] killed by direct violence since the invasion.”As for Libya, the mainstream media first lied about the fact that Gaddafi initiated the violence by attacking peaceful protesters, a false narrative intended to demonize Gaddafi and galvanize public opinion in favour of yet another military intervention. As the Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs reported, “violence was actually initiated by the protesters.”It stated further:The government responded to the rebels militarily but never intentionally targeted civilians or resorted to “indiscriminate” force, as Western media claimed […]The biggest misconception about NATO’s intervention is that it saved lives and benefited Libya and its neighbors. In reality, when NATO intervened in mid-March 2011, Qaddafi already had regained control of most of Libya, while the rebels were retreating rapidly toward Egypt. Thus, the conflict was about to end, barely six weeks after it started, at a toll of about 1,000 dead, including soldiers, rebels, and civilians caught in the crossfire. By intervening, NATO enabled the rebels to resume their attack, which prolonged the war for another seven months and caused at least 7,000 more deaths. (Alan Kuperman,Lessons from Libya: How Not to Intervene, Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs, September 2013)Despite these figures, the media will once again try to convince us that what the world needs most at the moment is to get rid of the terrorist group Boko Haram and that a military intervention is the only solution, even though the so-called war on terror has actually increased terrorism globally. As Washington’s Blog pointed out in 2013, “global terrorism had been falling from 1992 until 2004… but has been skyrocketing since 2004.”The Guardian reported back in November 2014:The Global Terrorism Index recorded almost 18,000 deaths last year, a jump of about 60% over the previous year. Four groups were responsible for most of them: Islamic State (Isis) in Iraq and Syria; Boko Haram in Nigeria; the Taliban in Afghanistan; and al-Qaida in various parts of the world. (Ewen MacAskill, Fivefold increase in terrorism fatalities since 9/11, says report, The Guardian, November, 18, 2014)What the Guardian fails to mention is that all these groups, including Boko Haram and the Islamic State, have been, in one way or another, armed, trained and financed by the US-NATO alliance and their allies in the Middle East.Thanks to the covert support of Western countries, arms dealers and bankers profiting from killing and destruction, the war on terror is alive and well. The West advocates for endless military interventions, pretending to ignore the real causes of terrorism and the reason why it expands, hiding its role in it and thereby clearly showing its real intent: fuelling terrorism to destabilize and destroy nations, thus justifying military invasion and achieving their conquest of the African continent’s richest lands under the pretext of saving the world from terror.Selected articles on Boko HaramAudu Liberty Oseni, Who is Protecting Boko Haram.
