Nigeria's military also seems overwhelmed by numerous security challenges. Forces are stationed throughout the country: addressing the threat of Boko Haram in the northeast, hunting oil thieves and criminal gangs in the Niger Delta, and trying to manage growing tensions between farmers and herdsmen in the center of Nigeria. In 2016, the army chief announced that the number of troops would be doubled to 200,000 during the coming years. Despite this announcement and contrary to claims that the army is making progress, Boko Haram is still terrorizing northeastern Nigeria. It has been doing so for eight years.

Efforts to protect children from Boko Haram such as the Safe Schools Initiative also came under fire after the recent Dapchi attack. The initiative was established in 2014, after over more than 200 girls were abducted from Chibok. Nigeria's government had pledged $10 million in funding for the project. Business figures, the United Nations and donor countries also provided money. Now, the security expert Kabiru Adamu said, "the government needs to show where it spent the money."

Sprumbabafather:
Nigerian irony;

Try to move your goods and family from Onitsha to Owerri and you have to pass many military checkpoints searching and slowing you down every kilometre in a zone where absolute peace reigns for years

But Boko Haram moved 110 girls from Dapchi to God knows where and never encountered a single army checkpoint in a war ravaged volatile region?

Who are we fooling? = OURSELVES

KahlDrogo:
We flat heads believe children have been abducted because Buhari failed in his responsibility to secure their lives.

When Buhari eventually succeeds in his effort to secure their lives as per his responsibility, we flat headed useless Jews will not accept that. We will insist no one was abducted in the first place. That it was all stage managed.

May the curse of this flat head which makes us reason like this be cured One day, Iseeeeee!

Good morning my dear Alobams from Abia and Abakaliki.
