For those who think Afghanistan is still in the stone age, you might want to visit reality, as detailed by an Afghan reporter Aside from resurfaced roads and highways, refurbished schools and new health clinics, to name just a few, one of the most overlooked aspects of progress in Afghanistan is the wide reach of social mobility. Among the new business class there are numerous examples of individuals who had fled the country on the back of mules, surviving with their families in Pakistani exile on $20 a month. War is not a solution but Afghanistan is more than 20 times better today than it was under the Taliban 10 times ago. Yes, the group still terrorizes the nation but there is no doubt that the lives of many have improved since the plague has been removed from completely running the nation. http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2011/aug/06/progress-in-afghanistan |

patriot2: Do you understand English ? I said since the US recognize people as terrorists only when the people are killing US citizens, Nigeria and the rest of the world also should not recognize alqaida as terrorists since their only aim is america. Because the americans can't have it both ways, they are always quick to say things like "either you are with us, either you are against us", well I am a Nigerian and a representant of the rest of the globe and I say the same! You are still not making any sense. So what does Nigeria deciding to embrace terrorists and terrorism to do with this? If the country chooses that, what does it change? You probably need to get over your America hard on to realize you are not making sense. The decision by America is FOR AMERICA not for Nigeria. I would think any sane being would know that. |

patriot2: Why do simpletons always want to compare the relationship between Israel and America with other countries.. America and Israel are the same thing - Israel is like America's aircraft carrier in MENA. America is a trigger happy country, and getting involved would mean hellfire missiles in the nearest future.. How are you even sure Boko Haram isn't America's covert operation in Nigeria, and this is an opportunity for them to get involved directly, and make the situation worse?? I can cite examples of where America has done this in the past - but can you give me an example (No Israel, please) of where America has actually rid any country on this planet off terrorism? 1 Like |

Making or designating them with a Foreign Terrorist org tag will only make them more popular and in addition to giving them unnecessary credit, will now open them paradoxically to bigger support from other FOREIGN terror groups not just Al-qaeda. In addition, many of you who are short-sighted and might not believe you would one day travel, will travel, and then instead of the maximum 30mins to 1hr standing in the immigration queue to get cleared, you would now spend almost 3hrs because you would be profiled and scrutinized extensively. So, unless the US wants to dash us some nice sexy looking Drones to bomb the idiots outta existence, they should hold their peace! |

While I agree with some of what you have there, I do need to point out here that what matters to Americans is anything that concerns them or affects them. The world already seems to believe our Government is not serious about this fight against the terrorists that continue to blow it's own citizens up on a regular basis. Do other countries now wait for us to get our acts together before acting to protect themselves the way they know to? A recent report in our papers suggested that the UN has already marked Boko Haram as a Terrorist group. If any damage is to be done, I think it already has, and it has more to do with our handling of Boko Haram, than the decisions made by the UN, US or any other country out there. |

patriot2: Loool at having more knowledge of America, the most unpredictable country in the world than me... How is Israel to AMerica, what Ghana is to Nigeria?? The last time I checked, we don't give Ghana over $3billion in aid every year... Israel is the only PERMANENT friend America has in the world - and Israel is nucleus of America's foreign policy... I'm not a conspiracy theorist - but if you're a critical thinker, you would put all opinions on the table, when thinking critically about anything.. A look at America's antecedents won't rule the almighty CIA out as being the ones behind Boko Haram... The keyword you need to focus on is "RULE THEM OUT." 1 Like |

Is BH not a terrorist group? the US should give them the label joor! I believe if this thing is not checked BH would definitely want to start getting aboard planes. If they had no terrorist blood in them why did they bomb the UN building an international symbol. After all didn't the US say they recovered documents from Osama's house that showed he was in contact with BH |

Why are you comparing apples to oranges?? America is present in Djibouti - but is there peace in the horn of Africa? The axis is the most war prone zone in Africa.. Somalia, Ethiopia, and Eritea - and Djibouti is not even the size of Lagos, and their population is less than a million.. As for the other countries you listed - they have nothing in common with the Nigerian situation.. Please, don't cite examples which are out of the context of discourse next time.. Mentioning a bunch of cold war fronts is just stupid, and ignorant - and it shows your IQ is less than 20. 2 Likes |

patriot2: A critical thinker considers all opinions, and NEVER disregard anything... If you're truly a mathematician like you claim to be, then you must be a very poor one - because there is no straight answer in mathematics.. A mathematician may tell you 1+1 = 2... And another one would question that, and say 1+1 = 1.. It depends on how you look at it... There is always a possibility in math mathematics. |

patriot2: You keep saying proof - ok, show me a proof that CIA isn't behind boko haram?? You want antecedents, and I'll give you a couple... - CIA created Al qaeda, and ended fighting against the same beast they created. - CIA created Taliban, and they're fighting against the same beast they created. - Charles Taylor was funded, and used by CIA, and they ended up demonizing him. - America was dining with Gaddafi before turning cruise missiles against him. - Osama bin laden (Tim Osman) was a CIA guy before they turned against him... As for Boko Haram, do you seriously think a ragtag northern Nigerian group can be as sophisticated, and daring in their in their attacks like they're without serious financial backing, and foreign influence?? If you believe that, then you would believe anything... And what northern muslim group in the history of Nigeria has ever attacked fellow northern muslims?? Including almost destroying the ancient city of Kano in an attack of the magnitude we saw last year?? 1 Like |

Re: Nigeria Opposes U.S. Bid To Tag Boko Haram As Terror Group by Nobody: 2:46pm On May 23, 2012 |
In primary school maths: 1+0 = 1 In computing: 1+0 = can be 1, or 0 Computing is pure mathematics, in case you don't know, simpleton. So, you calling yourself a mathematician - and having a linear thought process is ridiculous. |

Boko is a terrorist group. Period. Retardeen's govt opposition to this isn't necessarily because of international harassment of Nigerians but becos of their selfish interest. Since evil boko is the same as pdp, it will definitely affect their suicide bomber members. That exactly is the primary reason |
