Please our leaders act wisely on this.

This wouldn't have scaled throughat the senate when Saraki was Senate President. This is the height of it, shame on them all

All the senators kitikpa gbabuo unu

Pays better to be a Boko haram member in Nigeria The Government loves them

Fuckers

I’m sorry but I can’t get over this so what exactly does Shekau of Boko Haram want from Nigeria? Most of this Boko Haramites r not even Nigerians yet our senators want to establish “Ministry of Boko Haram Rehabilitation”! Clearly d leadership of this country is sponsoring them!!

Another avenue to siphon money, pay Shekau regularly to terrorize people. Shame on you, Senators. U have d Army, Air force, Navy, civil defense, police, amotekun, arewa’s security outfit etc yet u need Agency for Boko Haram Rehabilitation! Well Nigerians go and apply! MBuhari

While they're at it they should also provide them with housing and monthly stipend. The people are oblivious to bills that are before the house . There should be a national outcry for this but hey it's Friday and they're worried about clubbing .kilokanmi

Boko Haram - listed on the world’s list of extremism/terrorism yet Nigeria is “rehabilitating” them! A pig will always wrestle in the mud regardless of how much it is cleaned. IPOB not listed on the world’s list but Nigeria fights them like they are at war! TRIBALISM!!!

THIS IS THE INTERPRETATION Paper Headline: Boko Haram attacks and kills scores, injuring many in Maiduguri. CAN: Let's fast and Pray for Nigeria. BUHARI: Any attack on Boko Haram is an attack on the Northern people. Don't be deceived, they know themselves!!

. This is quite pathetic. I weep for Nigeria. As it stands now, Biafria is the last hope of a common man. chinua Achebe wrote: There was a country.

Another system of Looting like NDDC.. Our politician would not run this poor country down

realDonaldTrump amnestyusa our senators need medical evaluation. A terrorist group that kills rape kidnap are been considered to be thrown back in to the society

Not proper. Are they Nigerians in the first place? Have they given the military useful information? Has the military come up with plans to clean Sambisa based on intelligence gathered? OR Is this a new way to enrich some section at the detriment of the lives of others?

More calamity ahead if PMB and his cabals remains in power...omg ,Nigerians are too timid

This is a mess....these guys were captured by Nigeria army so why are they telling us they have repented ? A man can do anything to get freedom...these guy remain toxic to Nigerians.

It is Only in Nigeria that “unpatriotic citizens” are rewarded with “National Medals” in different forms! What agency have you set up for Patriotic citizens that are the victims of the barbaric activities of terrorists? PLO asked: “Are you honorable members or horrible members?”

We need God’s intervention in this country...Repentant boko haram indeed!the so called people that have rendered so many woman widow,children fatherless...our senators should tell us the truth what is going.its so obvious

Hmmmmmm what a shame. What will the family of chibok girls feel when this kind of bill is introduced.

Our greatest problem in this country now is Buhari

This is not surprising because, they sponsors are there to speak for them. God Wii reward evil doers accordingly

And when we talked about plans of Islamization some irritants will say no...every government policies and program most be of the North benefit, so APC knows who Boko-Haram members are, is a pity and shameful. Achebe they was a country.

Total insanity by the hooligans in the national Assembly

Simple logic! GEJ - Niger delta militants, Amnesty .(huge funds) GMB- Boko haram, Agency (Nigerian army) . Are you thinking what I'm thinking ?

Only in an insane country can this happens.

So BH will become part of the laws?

Seems like boys will now organise themselves in order to operate as repented boko haram

Buhari has an agenda to destroy Nigeria b4 he die how could someone in normal sense will like to empower criminals that hve killed many, both born and unborn babies killed pregnant women, killed soldiers and many more. Nigeria will soon be isolated from other countries

can you now see your life. You joined hands with terrorists to destroy your country

Look at were northern are driving Nigerians to

chai dis people nor dy hear word, dm nor see uk bomber wy dm relax from jail before e sarve finish sake of say d guy dy form holy holy,na d next week dm arrest am again base on say him want bomb anoda place, una nor go use sense do dis mata

The blood of the innocent people killed by this wicked sect will rise to judge every member of the nassnigeria who signs the bill. God will act on Nigeria 🇳🇬 soonest and all of you that have been part of the pain people go tru will answer.

I hope the world is seeing this ? BBCWorld BBCWorld BBCWorld BBCWorld please show the world what this lots are doing to this country

And I suppose this news will gladen the hearts of Nigerian soldiers. What a way to encourage and motivate the souldiers. Are we legitimising terrorism?. There must be a grand plan?. Thelabourofourheroespastshallneverbeinvain.

When you think it can't get worse in this country. I keep saying when médiocre leaders are in power WE should not expect anything. They are bereft of ideas.

Wow

First pass bill rehabilitating the Law abiding IDPs before you start pampering those who have joined foreign terrorists to turn their homeland upside down

This can't be right! No matter how you explain it!

Useless station

They didn't make any provision for slain soldiers and other Boko Haram victims.

Special criminals

And the elderly ones in the country are suffering and dying, at least the youth can still surviving, we are surviving but then what about the old people? What is the government doing for them NOTHING? NO, this country is a joke.

Clearly, Buhari govt has failed. D msg is- If u r in d north & jobles, join bokoharam & kil ppl & den tel govt dat u hav repented, we wil tek care of u. In my opinion, It will not be too bad/wicked to pray for another sickness for Buhari. This guy needs to relinquish power.

This is crazy men This is self imposed punishment on the masses. Then being a bh is better than being a graduate

The angel that directed me to nigga, make I no see you ni o, the government would stop at nothing to embezzle money, these people are roaming around the street after killing some many people, they literally ruined the north and you guys are proposing bills for who? Murderers?

This is what happens when you have men who think from their noses as senators .

Can we have Agency for repented kidnappers and arm rubbers

Very useless fools

What nonsense is this? Is that the best way of tackling this menace? Can't the Senate come up with a better approach, this is sick and very pathetic

unbelievable

A plot to make boko haram a future in Nigeria..never ending..lazy senators

Kwantenewu

HQNigerianArmy YOU HAVE ONLY ONE JOB.

Nigeria is finish already

I honestly and urgently need to need this country as soon as possible

Tell everyone behind this how sick and inhumane they are. What have FG done regards jobless graduate. They must be crazy. I say so.

Bill ke. The govt is supposed to dig mass graves, line them up and let them fall into the graves as they are being killed. They are not supposed to be among normal people. They are animals. Has the govt ever considered compensating the families that suffered loss.

This is just the beginning . The respected Elder Mallam BuBa Galadima said it before that Nigerians have not seen anything yet

Repentant? So some fellow kills, maims and claims “repentance” and the NGRSenate will spend tax payers money to protect the person by law? Negotiating with terrorist? This is absolutely ridiculous!CNN ABC BBCWorld

After this, na the soldiers wey catch them and hand them over to govt I go blame.

I love dis country for 😂😂😂

What on earth?😱 How about an Agency for the internally displaced, what the hell You are all unrepentant criminals 😠😠😠

Ibrahim Gaidam of Yobe East Senatorial District sponsored this bill... He is a Boko Haram sympathizer and should be jailed

I have never seen a wasteful Senate than these fools.Gosh!!

Will it end insecurity?

He made concerted efforts to educate the almajiris. In 5yrs, Buhari hasn’t build any school anywhere. It’s unfortunate 9ja haven’t been blessed with quality leadership. These crop of leaders lack the willingness to effect change.

realDonaldTrump how many retweets to sell this country to you

Ndi Ara everywhere SMH

To all the members of NASS who presented this bill & deliberated on it, may you never experience peace! Emir Sanusi has been factual, the only remedy to insecurity in the North East is giving the kids the chance to acquire education. GEJonathan built more schools in 5 yrs...

I feel sorry for the elite, if you don't say the truth soon you become victims. Agency for repentant boko, soon they become personal assistants. They enemy you spare today would kill you tomorrow. You have not told us your plan. There will be no Nigeria very soon.

Nice uniform and shoe, then straight on to a plane. meanwhile innocent people are held across the country in police cell, Efcc unit, unknown locations etc.

Millions of unemployed youths,orphans and widows living at the IDPS Bt only bokoharam members deserve government attention?there was a country

Instead may Nigerian govt kill them

Come again?

Looking on to soldier ,standard

What about bill protecting the widows of the slain soldiers and fatherless What about bill for the protection of those in the IDP camps More Visa ban until ona get sense. hoping it'll get to the elite

When our soldier still in war front and officer and soldier widows are suffer there doing nothing about it the solution now is to create agent for crimes!!i will keep on sayin this if their is not unity definitely we can’t have victory

Repentant boko haram Omo let's sell this country .

Let them be tried and sent to the national correctional centre for correction. then you can reintegrate them back to society.

nassnigeria seeking agency for repentant book haram, how sweet is this idea? All the existing agencies in Nigeria how much have they functions? sen_ahmedlawal femigbaja MBuhari ProfOsinbajo

I really can't believe this, the sooner buhari leaves the better for this country
