ISIS Trains Boko Haram Fighters, Says Jonathan by Nobody: 4:28am On Mar 13, 2015 |
President Goodluck Jonathan says fighters from insurgent group Boko Haram have traveled to the Middle East for training with Islamic State militants. Jonathan declined to name the countries where the fighters were allegedly trained. But in an interview with VOA on Wednesday, he said he’s long suspected Boko Haram of having alliances with international extremist groups. “So, we know the links are there. But even now, we may not know the degree of linkages as to how much funds are coming in from them, the kind of volume of weapons coming in from them, the nationalities coming from them,” Jonathan said. “But the training, because some of the Boko Haram members go to have their training in the ISIS camp and come back,” he added In the interview, Jonathan credited both the intervention of Nigeria’s neighbours as well as the acquisition of new weapons for turning the tide against the militants. He hit back at criticisms that foreign troops aren’t being allowed to push into Boko Haram strongholds deep in Nigerian territory. He said Cameroon previously denied Nigeria permission to pursue Boko Haram into its territory, and added that restrictions on foreign troops were matters of coordination. “I think the idea is that look, for any major aggression, we should know. Where possible, let some Nigerian soldiers also be with you,” the President said. He also said that foreign technicians are present in the northeast to teach Nigerian troops on how to use their new weapons, since there wasn’t time to train the troops before they were deployed. “So we now have this technical people who are trainers and technicians, who are to train our people on how to use them, and technicians that help the maintenance, at the same time training our people how to maintain this equipment,” Jonathan said. He said two unnamed companies were involved in the training but declined to offer nationalities or numbers of the trainers. Jonathan dismissed the suggestion that Boko Haram’s insurgency had come to define his time in office. “Yes, it’s a major security issue, it’s the number one security issue we have as a nation. But definitely, you cannot define us by Boko Haram,” he said. As the multinational offensive continues, Jonathan predicted that the northeastern states of Yobe and Adamawa would be cleared of Boko Haram territory before the middle of next week. He said he hopes neighbouring Borno State, where the group started, will be cleared in the next three weeks. But Jonathan said he expects Boko Haram to continue bombing markets and bus stops. He says the government’s strategy is to improve intelligence gathering as well as job and educational prospects in the northeast as a long-term strategy to destroy the group.

This is one thing I just can't stand about this man. His remarks are always so disjointed, lacking in depth, and generally nonsensical. I feel extremely nonplussed whenever I read him and ask myself; does this man really have a first degree, let alone a master's?? I've tried over and over again to make sense of what I quoted up there without success. Most painful is this isn't a typo, it is simply how he speaks (gibberish in most cases when not reading from a prepared speech). Please if anyone has any idea what mr President was trying to say, fill me in. And mr president I noticed even in your interview with Aisha Sasay, you kept saying "the Boko Haram" blablabla. Pleeeease, the "the" isn't necessary, simply say "Boko Haram". Haba. Could english language be this difficult for a supposed PhD holder?? 77 Likes 2 Shares |

No evil collaboration fashioned against Nigeria shall prosper. In one way they will come, in seven ways they will flee. No matter how hard they try, they will never succeed. Isis,iseven, or ieight, should be wary of coming to Nigeria. Shekau will soon be captured and Nigeria shall experience peace again. Death to ISIS, death to shekau, death to all blood thirsty demon-possessed, guntotting basstards all over the universe. We shall overcome. Let's stop the blame game. If shiit hits the ceiling, it's going to affect everybody. United we stand against terror and its marketers 6 Likes 2 Shares |

Yes! They have a Dictionary of all the Shekaus that they have produced. Barak Obama and the CIA are aware. That was why the US refused the sales of Arms neither from them directly nor from Israel to Nigeria. Man's inhumanity to man, isn't it? They are aware of Buhari's dissapearance from Nigeria to join them to renegotiate the Union of Bokoharam and ISIS. GOD IS WATCHING EVERYTHING.

Imagine where the southern protectorate would have been without that amalgamation. . This fight is not going to be easy. The ideology and mentality of this people is wired differently. May God help us. . When it started they targeted only christian, the Muslims where happy and in support. They even hide and protect the terrorist. The northern elders where against the use of any military force on them. The tide has changed and muslims are feeling the heat. All of a sudden they accuse the president of been responsible for this issue. 8 Likes 2 Shares |
