maclatunji: The longer GEJ and his government think they can shy away from properly addressing Boko Haram, the more lethal they will become.

Moshood91: We need a nice strategy to curb this Boko Haram menace.

A comprehensive counterterrorism strategy must be centered on four goals:
First, stop terrorists from committing acts of violence by capturing them, disrupting their cells, or if necessary, killing them.

Second, keep the most dangerous weapons out of terrorists' hands.

Third, recognizing it is impossible to prevent all attacks.

Fourth, prevent radicalization by helping to deal with grievances that are spawning terrorists
