On what expense, there is nothing foreign troops can do in Nigeria, nowhere on earth has ever any foreign troops helps to flush out insurgence, so Nigeria own will not be different instead it will escalate. Peace in nothern Nigeria is in the hand of nother elders, imams and the emirs, they should call there people to order and there will be peace.

Everyone is "helping" us. The Lebanese. The Chinese. The British tried. And now "help" from the Iranians? Iran is in tatters - let their "charity" begin at home!!! We do not need more Islamic insurgents disguised as "helpers" on our soil!!!
