I made this point earlier on and the more I think about it and the more I watch the response of Nigerians of diverse groups :politicians ,political commentators,the opposition political parties and ethnic supremacists' the ordinary citizenry,the more the scenario becomes realistic.
THE AUSTRALIAN NEGOTIATOR HAS BEEN THE TARGET/VICTIM OF A LONG CON STRATEGICALLY DESIGNED TO WHITTLE DOWN THE GROWING INFLUENCE OF SOUTH SOUTHERNERS AND SOUTH EASTERNERS AT THE TOP LEVELS OF NIGERIA'S SECURITY AND DEFENSE INSTITUTIONS .(forgive my cap locked type set but the point had to be communicated).

I have never been in the camp of those who call the Aussie a "mad man" .I think he is a very smart and man who has been used as tool,an intelligent and by the view of some people believable and trustworthy individual who has simply been coned.
The question then is how do you con a very smart individual?
It's quite straight forward.For a self confident and intelligent individual like that who is on an assignment with the hopes of a nation relying on him to find a way to negotiate/ secure the release of the girls captured by boko haram (why this atrocious situation has to be the case is discussion for another day) ,whatever information you wish to pass to him and have him believe, you must never make it easy for him.
Have him jump through a series of hoops ,make him feel truly endangered and afraid for his life in the cause of his "work"(?), let him believe he has gained a bit of trust of people within factions of what he is led to believe are boko haram terrorists who might be genuine but all the while leading him to a path that has already been determined by the con runners.
Let him have some information that while true is not widely known making him feel privileged (when that information becomes common knowledge much later) , leak some information about boko haram that while interesting and earthshaking puts the group in no real strategic danger or setbacks when revealed publicly.
For the coup de grace plant carefully designed but very false information to slip to him.
Hell they wouldn't have told him they would more likely have made it seem to him (the target of the con) that he discovered the information himself.
The target of the con MR Davis IS OBLIVIOUS OF THE FACT THAT SOMEONE/GROUP RAN A LONG CON ON HIM.
We all know that the truth you are told is just believable information but the truth you "find out through painstaking work" you will regard as life itself.
As someone who was born and raised in the north I have never fallen for the myth of the north(northerners) being less intelligent than the others southerners.I grew up with them I went to some of the best schools in the north with the children of contemporary northerners and I tell you they are smart.There are good ones and there are bad ones.
The failure of the south more specifically south easterners and south southerners to realize that they are in conflict (in a manner of speaking after all politics,is war by other means) with very intelligent people,has led them into major strategic blunders a situation which perseveres to this day.
Taking it further the people who orchestrated the name dropping of Ihekirika and Azazi know that reasonable analysts will throw the accusation away but what they hoped to achieve , what they might yet achieve with this is to discredit all top ranking Igbos and south southerners in the security services in this country.
THIS IS A SYSTEMATIC ATTEMPT TO BLACKLIST DISENFRANCHISE SOUTH EASTERNERS AND SOUTH SOUTHERNERS FROM THE TOP HIERARCHY OF THE ARMED FORCES AND SECURITY SERVICES OF NIGERIA FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE.
Obasanjo let it slip when he alluded to the possible resolve by people he never identified (possibly the owners of nigeria(?) to never let an Ijaw man (read south southerner) to assume the most powerful position in Nigeria again.
The allegations against Ihejirika and Azazi and by extension Jonathan won't stick,but if the plan of the people who put it in motion works ,it will bring so much institutional distrust and discrimination against military personnel and security personnel from the south south,south east at the highest levels in Nigeria essentially reinstituting the defacto policy of Nigeria's security apparatus since 1970.

one word..... BALDERDASH!!!!!!!!

he said Ihejerika(SE) not Minimah(SS). Beside he even mentioned Sheriff (NE)

The entire episode is being painted to look like a Southern conspiracy against the North with Ihejirika, a willing tool.

It is in the North's interest to behave and this we all are well aware .

same ol rubbish... Ali modu sheriff is also a southern is insanity one of the criteria for you to open your smelly gob...

Please explain I do not follow.

Some Nigerians are so fvcked!!

Davies is now the opposition spokesman, right??

Rapist: Some Nigerians are so fvcked!!

I never said that.If anything I made the point that Davis only repeated the in for he received or was allowed to receive from BokoHaram.Nowhere in my post did I infer that Davis is a spokesman for the opposition.
While everyone seems hooked on the naming of the former COAS, as a sponsor no one seems to be addressing the fact that he point blank named the opposition parties as sponsors as well.
Treating the reports logically how do you reconcile the fact that he named Ihekirika ,and Azazi and Sheriff but refused to name the CBN link and people in the opposition parties.Is that not inconsistent?

Are you aware that when Boko Haram wanted to discuss with government, that arresting Sheriff was one of their strong demands?

Your submission only lends credence to the "con" theory.

I guess Azazi's name dropped from the sky.
You know as well as I do that Sheriff has been on BokoHaram's target list since 2011 at least.

http://www.thisdaylive.com/articles/boko-haram-lists-conditions-for-cease-fire/129351/

So consider that they named one of their avowed local enemies as their sponsor which he may or may not be (there are a lot of speculations as to why BokoHaramis is after sheriff but that is talk for another day),where does that leave us?
We are left with the two men who have worked with Jonathan to deal with the menace from BokoHaram within that time frame (Azazi and Ihejirika) who could be said to have done a good job of it.
Name them as sponsors which automatically ties the president in with them, what do you have ? The fall of the Jonathan Administration .A critical first step in their avowed larger plan in taking over Northern Nigeria as an Islamic state and eventually expand southwards.
Adding Sheriff to that "list"(?) was killing more birds with one stone.

i am not taking sides but just refraining from tribalising the whole thing.

anago900: one word..... BALDERDASH!!!!!!!!

Troll u are here already!!

barcanista: i am not taking sides but just refraining from tribalising the whole thing.

I am not saying you are neither am I taking sides even though I am the first to admit that the thread both in topic and content seem pro south at first read maybe even repeated reading for those who have a one track mind.
Logically assessing the current situation and the release of this information we have to ask ourselves :
what we knew before the current "revelations" ?
what the new revelations tell us?
How does it benefit bokoharam to reveal the names listed as their sponsors?

We always have to bear in mind the avowed goal of bokoharam "The creation of an Islamic state of Nigeria whose society is administered by Islamic law" .
What is the single most obvious obstacle to this goal? The constitutional(?) state of Nigeria and the presence of people in positions of power who are either moderate(?) Muslims or worse infidels (kefir's).
We know bokoharam has wanted to smoke sheriff a Muslim (some say he helped found BokoHaram and was their patron for political reasons until he fell out with them, story for another day) since 2011 at least.
Like I said in an earlier post naming Azazi and Ihejirka as involved in the bokoharam problem automatically ropes in the current Administration which could fall if the pot is stoked with enough fire by politicians playing to a predetermined script.
So the Jonathan Administration falls, who takes over a Muslim (not necessarily allied to bokoharam) but the fact that Jonathan,Azazi and Ihejirika are implicated in the bokoharam debacle will be ammunition for the establishment of the day to purge the military security hierarchy of top ranking south southern and south eastern personnel.
The removal of those class of personnel would mean the removal with minimum effort of the section of the country that would most likely object to the infiltration of the Nigeria of those days security infrastructure by Islamists and their sympathizers.
Whenever one try's to analyze the politico/security situation in Nigeria it is beneficial to look at the big picture and the long view not just/only isolated and seemingly currently pertinent events.

BokoHaram is playing for the long term /view if we do not recognize that fact and adjust strategies to counter that, we would definitely be talking about a divided country in the long term.

I have always read with concern how IGBQS are playing victim all through NL over Dr Davis allegations. To start with Ihejerika who hale from south east is not the only one mentioned in the allegations, Alli Modu Sheriff a northeasterner was also mentioned, a CBN official was mention, though a serving official but I have read some insinuating comments trying to rope Sanusi but one thing the HAUZAS has proving is that they are more mature, honourable and ready for whoever is involve to face prosecution, they were not trying to shield anybody from investigations that could lead to ending the boko haram menace. But on the part of the IGBQS I must say that I am disappointed cos I would have expected more courtesy from them. Why resulting to all kinds of blackmail in the effort to defend Ihejerika? I read someone alleging in a thread yesterday that Dr Davis must have received money to implicate Ihejerika, how myopic people can reason. How much would anyone pay Mr Davis that Jonathan or PDP wouldn't have afforded if its all about money. Ihejerika like his people, instead of him to respond to the allegation levelled against him was blackmailing EL Rufai. I challenge the IGBQS, if they have any dignity and integrity to protect, they should ask Ihejirika to offer himself for prosecution to clear himself otherwise they all should cover their faces in shame and keep silent.

With this "additional information" released by Mr. Davis,I hope you can still repeat this post of yours seeing as you know who the revelation points to
