The Nigerian govt is making diplomatic moves with Equatorial Guinea at the most highest level .


The Buhari govt has visited the tiny central African country once and his deputy is expected to visit there this week.

Equatorial Guinea also attended the last security summit held in Abuja to address the Boko Haram scourge.

Now looking at the map of Equitorial Guinea we see it is located remotely away from the NE conflict zone



The allies against the Boko Haram scourge are located within the border hot zones of Niger Republic, Chad and Cameron. Benin republic is also an ally in the war against Boko Haram because they share a border with northern Nigeria as well.

Now how and why is Equatorial Guinea part of the war against terror?

The answer is simply that Equatorial Guinea is gearing up as a strategic ally not in any war against Boko Haram but the soon to be started full blown jihadist war in the Niger Delta.

The Nigerian Govt just as they did with Bakasi and Biafra is dangling oil wells to Equatorial Guinea in an effort to secure that Nation as an ally in their soon to be started war of attrition in the Niger Delta.
