Boko Haram is a Political Tool of the PDP, ask Gen. Azazi.

Even as a GEJ supporter, this is one particular area I've been offended by him.

Yes, he wanted to appear patient, fatherly and appeasing to the genocide crying Northern Elders, but in reality he didn't do well in his handling of the BH. Leadership isn't about appearing good; it's about doing the most appropriate thing, not minding offending a few.

Human life is sacrosanct, and shouldn't be dragged into politics.

It is not just because he was trying to appease the northern leadership who acused him of genocide and refused to coporate with him, Buhari who specifically decleard that an attack on Boko Haram is an attack on the North, the fact is that what actually changed the momentum now apart from the acquisition of new weapons which was made difficult in the past by the genocide allegation against the government but also the involvement of mutinational force comprising the neighbouring countries and most of them refused to get involved initially unless they got approval from the African Union which was recently granted. So Jonathan has never been unwilling to deal with BH but many obstacles on the road.

His official story is that they didn't have the cooperation of the neighbours which required African Union approval and that they didn't have the weapons they needed because western countries didn't want to get to them, but they have now gotten weapons from alternative sources.

The official story is not necessarily correct, though. I think they could have gotten everything ready earlier if they were really really serious.

...!Are you better off now than you were 6 years ago before President #jonathan was sworn in as president after the death of President Umaru Yaradua? If the economy of a country is getting better, the people feel it before they see official published statistics. Are Nigerians living a higher quality of life now than before because they have access to better, good paying jobs, better healthcare, better education and infrastructure, power or electricity that has removed the need to invest in diesel generators? What is your perception of corruption in the country? Do you feel opportunity is being expanded for all or most of the opportunities in the land is limited to a privilege few who are in government?

Follow links in my signature, NL is blocking any information that does not or may not favour the current government...?

The reason is very simple. GEJ wanted to use Boko haram to deplict northern votes. But when GEJ realised that that has started working against him, he has no option than to heed to a wise advise. But it is rather late for GEJ.

Boko haram became violent in 2011 and you are buying Ammo in 2015, very thoughtful of you Mr President.
Meanwhile, In 2011, the government had awarded a pipeline surveillance contract worth $103 million (N15 billion) to Tompolo’s Global West Vessel Specialists Limited in a deal that shocked many Nigerians. Settle your boys early then allow Nigerians to die for 4yrs before taking action, I forgot Boko haram has disrupted your election timetable the reason you have decided to act, Shame on you!!

If Jonathan had a strategic foreign policy, shouldn't we be wielding the highest influence in both AU and ECOWAS? can NATO stop the United States?
The sanction on Nigeria was prompted by two events, his refusal to investigate human right abuse in the north and the leaking of intelligence report to Boko haram by his service chiefs, both events occurred in 2014, what stopped jonathan from buying arms in 2011,2012, and 2013?

Amidst sanctions, he is still buying arms from where exactly?

Jonathan is a classic case of failure personified.

Chad the game changer joined after the Paris accord, before AU made a declaration without a date of mobilization.

President Jonathan and his host will discuss the further actualization of agreements for greater cooperation against insurgents and terrorists reached by Nigeria, Chad, Niger and Cameroon at a meeting in Paris earlier this year. - See more at: http://www.vanguardngr.com/2014/09/president-jonathan-chadian-leader-forge-stronger-alliance-terrorism/#sthash.foj2s28K.dpuf

Chad and Cameroon later pulled out due to the unseriousness of Nigeria which led to the fall of Baga the MNJTF headquarters


He said of troops from Chad, Niger and Cameroon that were supposed to be stationed there at the time of the attack: "That wasn’t that much of a multinational task force, it was by name (only), because they were all supposed to be physically there," when in fact most were not.

Chad's victory, and the need for foreign troops, is an embarrassment to Nigeria's once-mighty military, brought low by corruption and politics. The foreign intervention comes just two weeks


Analysts say the neighboring countries worry how much Boko Haram has infiltrated Nigeria's military. Even Jonathan has said that he fears his Cabinet is infiltrated by sponsors of the extremists. A year ago, he fired his entire military command and the defense minister.

Even as Nigeria's military is humiliated by the foreign aid, witnesses say it has been ill-equipped to defend civilians from a series of vicious attacks. In Baga, Nigerian soldiers fought valiantly for hours, then fled when they ran out of ammunition, witnesses told The Associated Press.

So where does it say that Chad and Cameroun pulled out because of Nigeria's unseriousness? Besides the major impact of these countries involvement is that it closed their escape route apart from stoping them from using their soil as a sanctuary and safe haven where they run to and remobilize after operating and wrecking havoc in Nigeria. There is nothing wrong if Nigeria seeks and get help from neighbouring countries or any country for that matter. Even world powers like the UK, US etc do same. What you may not even know is that these countries are being funded and equiped by Nigeria via a third party.
