WEST! They have started again. Always pressing Restive causing buttons. Since Africans take their words as though from God, they do have us by the blokos all the time. They don't always have to destroy any African nation that take thire fancy by hard means such as secretly funding a coup or supporting insurrectionists, they have so many leverage, from economic ones, to being in control of our youths through the selling of Western lifestyles, to media, to telling us what we want to hear especially if what we want to hear agravates existing tensions. Mischief makers want to hear that Bokoharam is kicking Nigeria military ass and that military is hiding one thing or another in order to hide the fact and in short time the West is there to support those claims. It's like Nigeria's missing stolen Billions. Where are our stolen Billions if not thrillions?? They in the West knew full well that embezzling past leaders like Abatcha never actually stole the sums that Nigerians, in our typical ways of exaggerating for effect, claim they stole, but they supported anyway, even adding salt and pepper of thire own. But now the chicken has come home to roost and they are being asked by Nigeria to return our Billions. Where is all the money!? They can't cough up because no such huge some were stashed abroad in the first place.

Does the story sound so strange to be true only the West could have sounded it to you? Are we blind to how much of funds meant for security is being embezzled while our soldiers are getting killed by the day? Should we wait till terrorism spreads to every nook and cranny of the country to confirm what the West is saying? How long should we keep getting fed by the lies our leaders keep telling us though they keep showing their unseriousness to terrorism? Is this the Nigeria of your dream like Libya when Ghaddafi was still alive?

We should know there's is problem when an infantry trained soldier rises to become Chief of Army staff.

The quality of the Nigerian Army started deteriorating the moment the Northern led govt in the 60's lowered admission requirements to accommodate their less educated people to enroll in the NA, which Buhari, IBB, Abacha and the rest are beneficiary.

Check the history when the British are still coordinating the affairs of Nigeria, the Top military Chiefs are Southerners and it's because they are recruited on merit.

Igbos were the president until 1967 so what are you talking about?

more like Africans destroying themselves

foreign powers only act as catalysts...

Boko Haram is a self inflicted wound

If successive govts had invested inits people up north, and improved standards of living, religious fundamentalism and a large army of willing hands to die in the name of "Allah" would not have crept in....

Go to Chad, Niger and northern Nigeria and see hopelessness and an army of economically useless people littering the streets
those are the willing hands to fight

but yet the govts are not ready to do anything to address it

The day the real facts surrounding this Boko Haram issue comes to light, a lot of people will not believe. The cynical nature of Nigeria's rulers is truly shocking.

We waste human resources and materials. Obasanjo must be very brave and smart to finish them off in 2007. Buhari and chief of general staff must account for each death.

They tell the family they are MIA.

This is highly thoughtful epigram and it needs research.

But you can’t deny Igbo involvement in the government. I know your innate instincts to blame the Fulani will not allow you.
