ONLY Technical defeat of Boko Haram has been achieved.
We are left with other types of defeats like
-Physical annihilation of Boko haram
-Spiritual destruction of Boko haram
-Mental shattering of Boko haram

SO THERE IS MORE FIGHTING LEFT TO BE DONE.

When someone qualifies a statement by the word "technically" he has assumed he is addressing an audience made up of normal educated people instead Nigerian educational system products.

In Chess, warfare, politics, marketing et. c you can technically defeat an oppobent i.e. gegrade his abilities to duch a low level that victory is assured for you. Boko Haram is technically defeated. The whole world knows . No major initiatives, no you tube videos, just scattered attacks by far glung cells.
