US Boko Haram Donation $5m, Not $5bn – Embassy by chesterlee(m): 11:59am On Jun 17, 2015
The United States Diplomatic Mission to
Nigeria has said that the contribution of
the US government to the Multi-National
Joint Task Force (MNJTF) on Boko
Haram is $5 million and not the $5 billion
reported yesterday by NAN.
NAN had quoted Linda Thomas-
Greenfield, US assistant secretary, Bureau
of African Affairs, as saying during a press
briefing with the US delegation to the
African Union Summit that the US
government donated $5 billion to the
MNJTF.
But in a press statement to clarify the
issue, the Public Affairs Division of the
Consulate wrote: “Yesterday, Monday,
June 15, members of the US government
delegation to the African Union Summit in
Johannesburg, South Africa briefed
reporters on the range of U.S.
engagement in Africa.
“It was widely reported that the United
States is offering $5 billion to the
Multinational Joint Task Force to fight
Boko Haram. The U.S. Embassy wishes
to clarify that the amount is $5 million.”

I said it 5billion is not possible
If America did not give 5billion to Ukraine why Nigeria?
Re: US Boko Haram Donation $5m, Not $5bn – Embassy by PointB: 3:41pm On Jun 17, 2015
I told them you'll only get $5B if the US is investing in African soldiers for a potential war against China and Russia - a world war.

$5B is huge, very huge!
