Following the unabated terror attacks perpetrated by the Boko Haram insurgents across Nigeria and neighbouring borders, the United States of America president, Barack Obama, has warned Americans and the whole world on the threat posed by the Islamic militant group.
Speaking in Washington, DC on Sunday, 29 June, 2014, President Obama said that the Boko Haram and other terrorist groups were putting the United States and the entire world under a very serious threat. The Kenyan-born, US president added that the United States had been seriously threatened by these various terrorist organizations for his entire time in office and even before the September 11, 2001, attacks which involved the late leader of the al-qaeda, Mr Osama bin Laden. Obama also revealed that his administration would do all it could to ensure that all the terrorist groups across the world were decisively fought till the world is free from terrorism. The American leader opined further that the terrorists were gaining strength in some places, adding that his administration was trying to boost its response to terrorists trained in Iraq and Syria who, because of European passports, would have little trouble getting to the United States.
“We’re spending a lot of time, and we have been for years, making sure that we are improving intelligence so that we can respond to that. There are going to be times where we take strikes against organizations that could do us harm,” Obama said. It could be recalled that the United States, through Pentagon spokesman, Rear Admiral John Kirby said on Friday, 27 June, 2014 that the US has scaled back its surveillance flights in the search for nearly 300 girls kidnapped earlier this year by Islamic extremists in Nigeria. More than two months since members of Boko Haram kidnapped the schoolgirls in Chibok, Borno State on 14 April, 2014, the girls are yet to be returned to their parents as the Nigerian government said it would not negotiate with the terrorists on the release of the abducted schoolgirls.

What do you mean by the "Kenyan born?" Hmm, you looking for trouble o, don't let Donald Trump read this or it will start another wahala. Obama was born in Hawaii, he cannot be US president if he was not born on US soil.
