Various foriegn nations came to Nigeria to help flush out these Islamic marauders. What happened to this foriegn support? The answer is SIMPLE. They left because they realised tje Nigeria government and military had NO CLUE as to where ro start lookjng. They had expected the USA and other nations to take thd LEAD in leading the addault while they, the Nigeria miltary "siddon dey look!" And MOW we need HELP agsin. Maybe releasing the military men they locked up should be the first step.Who in Nigeria now would want their son or daughter to sign up to the Nigeria army? They woulf ALL rather die fighting for a FORIEGN power!

It seems Oga GEJ is less concerned about this BH issues, he is only presiding over South for now, the northern Nigeria is in the hands of these militants....my question is: what will happen if Boko Haram decides to come to the south, any hope of resistance?.

THE PROBLEM OF THE BLACKMAN IS IN HIS DNA PERIOD. 6TH OIL PRODUCING NATION BUT THE MONEY WE MAKE FROM CRUDE OIL IS IN PRIVATE HANDS INCLUDING MANY COMMENTATORS IN THIS FORUM. AS FAR BACK AS 1981 WHILST SERVING IN THE CUSTOMS, WE BUY OUR UNIFORMS, BOOTS, BELTS, EPAULETTS ETC WHICH GOVT HAS SUPPLIED FOR OUR USE, BUT THE STORE MAN FRONTING FOR SOME SENIOR OFFICERS MILK US DRY. OF COURSE WE MAKE ILLEGAL OPERATIONS TO RECOVER OUR MONEY, AND THE IMPORTERS INCREASE THE PRICE OF THEIR GOODS TO RECOVER THEIR OVERHEAD AND THE MASSES SUFFER. THAT IS THE WAY CORRUPTION IS EATING UP NIGERIA. NO GUNS TO FIGHT BOKO HARRAM BECAUSE THE COMMANDERS HAVE MADE THEIR MONEY OFF THESE ARMS AND RISK THE LIVES OF THEIR TROOPS. NIGERIA BURNS AND NO ONE CARES.
