Obama Sends Samantha Power To Nigeria Over Boko Haram Growing Threat by ponleh(m): 11:04am On Apr 20, 2016
The U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, Samantha Power, will be in Nigeria between Thursday and Friday to highlight the growing threat Boko Haram poses to the country.
This is contained in a statement by the Information Unit, U.S. Embassy in Abuja and made available to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Abuja.

It stated that Power had earlier visited Cameroon and Chad between April 16 and 20 to underscore the rising danger the insurgence poses to the Lake Chad Basin region.

“Boko Haram is one of the deadliest terrorist groups in the world.

“ It poses an acute threat to civilians across the Lake Chad Basin, and the group’s increasing lethality and relationship with the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant are cause for alarm,” it stated.

It noted with sadness the second anniversary of the kidnapping of the Chibok Girls.

The statement stressed the the need to work with partners in the region to develop a comprehensive counter-Boko Haram effort.

It stated that this included a more coordinated military campaign, improved humanitarian access and response, a well-resourced stabilization and governance strategy.

It stated that Power would engage with the Nigerian leadership and civil society in Abuja before traveling to the northeast to visit a settlement camp for civilians displaced by Boko Haram’s violence.

Power, according to the statement, will host a town-hall meeting with students and participate in a ‘Peace Through Sports’ event with young Nigerians.

How can a "Technically defeated" sect be posing a threat let alone a threat that grows??

Boko Haram Still has the capacity to attack a GOC's convoy and we letting our guard down cos one dullard in Aso Rock went "technical"??

Well, Boko Haram are still technically killing people while we technically playing down the Rhetoric!

I just hope the people getting killed are technically dying!

P.S: The animal below is a known Zombie! He lost his willpower since May 29, 2015.

He cannot help it! The best we can do is pray for him and his ZQ!

You hear zombies saying no local government is controlled by the sect... leaves me to wonder; Local government/territory vs human lives! Or have the killings stopped? The fact that The mainstream media under-report this things doesn't mean the killings have stopped!

Well, a Zombie cannot understand it!

Who believes that the man above me needs medical check up? U will never value what u have now until it is lost. We all know how many territories or local governments occupy before this new regime and how many have been taken back by the same soldiers. Things will begin to work better the moment we know what we want and how to react when situation arrives without tribalism and hatred.

Over which Boko haram threat? Is it the one Buhari and Lair Muhafool has already defeated?

They have defeated boko haram, yet boko haram are attacking soldiers in their barracks.

They are defeating boko haram, yet boko haram laid ambush and killed many soldiers.
They are defeating boko haram, yet boko haram sit comfortable in their sambisa base manufacturing diesel and fuel for their attack trucks.

Nigerian government under Buhari is a joke. Please wake me up when the comedy show is over

So this means the government has been downplaying the Boko Haram menace just to look like they are at least fulfilling one of their promises.

For a group that is "technically" defeated? Too much ppropaganda by APC chiefs these days and funny thing is that people don't want to speak out so as not to be labelled a "wailer"...

I cry for Nigeria.

Ta we dont need them now, when the whole country was exploding from right to left oga Power never showed now that Boko haram had been reduced to the ground they are now coming around to do what exactly?

And to those writing trash about Bokoharam being technically defeated surely does not know the meaning of the word "Technically" moreover can you compare the peace in the north east now to back when your hero the ineffectual buffoon was in power

Voting an ex-coupist who toppled a democratically elected govt and killed Nigerian youths unjustly, as a president in this modern era is already a big question mark on our mental capacity and our readiness for a civilised and sane democracy. The world must be wondering whether we even understand the fundamentals of democracy.

..they will keep pressing the pulpit government they help to install. USA keep pressing them and until they subdued. give them policies they have no choice. if they resist. open up the world crime they committed against IPOB and Shiit Muslim. Gross killing and marginalisation of the minority's.

if they form stubborn, break up the country by empowering the oppressed and minority's with atomic bomb to fight and break out of Nigeria.

they have no option, remember they are your slaves.

Anyways, welcome POWER to NIGERIA.
