The government thinks all Nigerians are zombies with retrograde amnesia.

The same way the Nigerian Air force relaunch the drones that were launched during the Jonathan regime and claimed it was a technological innovation of a govt that have to impersonate a "Next Level" campaign logo.

They should have done this a long time ago. well it is not too late. boko haram should never be able to attack any army base without the soldiers getting an alert. that's the way it should be. Use the drones and fish out all the bastard boko haram.

But then I heard one of their leaders was arrested in lagos recently. The question is when you arrest these people, are you not supposed to torture them so as to get very key information from them? do you just lock them up and that's all? The same boko haram that has killed your soldiers and so many innocent Nigerians. By now we Nigerians should have know the evil people sponsoring these bastar.d terrorists. the FG should never ever grant a terrorist pardon or amnesty except of course the FG is the one sponsoring them.

Any boko haram that is arrested should be severely tortured until they confess and die. if after severe torture they refuse to confess, then blow their heads off. whether they confess or not, they must be killed.
