We Are Now Ready To Negotiate With Boko Haram for The Girls ––Presidency

To say the truth, the State Security Services, SSS, are doing their best to track down these wicked terrorists but it is also clear that these guys are increasing in number due largely to the high level of poverty in the region and the best option for now could just be dialogue and negotiation, lakesideinformationservices.blogspot.com observed.
Boko Haram leaders do not mind if their members die, but we Nigerians are concerned and we do not wish for more innocent souls to be wasted while government is trying to flex muscle with a killer squad.

It is a relieve to note that one of the insiders in the Presidency, the Minister of Special Duties, Taminu Turaki, has said that the Nigerian government is now willing to talk to Boko Haram about securing the release of the over 200 female students held hostage by the Islamic terror group.
In his words: “We are willing to carry that dialogue on any issue, including the girls kidnapped in Chibok, because certainly we are not going to say that [their predicament] is not an issue.”
Turaki, who last year headed a committee tasked with pursuing an amnesty pact with some Boko Haram fighters, said: “Nigeria has always been willing to dialogue with the insurgent."

Also Governor Kashim Shettima of Borno State has identified the female hostages shown in a video released by the Boko Haram sect as students of the secondary school attacked by the Islamists on April 14.

“All the girls in that video were identified to be students of the Government Girls Secondary School, Chibok,” said Governor Shettima. He spoke in Abuja after organising a viewing of the video for the parents.
