The Muslim North never learns.
You invite and camp terrorists from all over Africa to decimate the Christian minorities in the North.
How do they keep themselves busy when they are not doing that =banditry in Zamfara and Katsina, Kidnapping in Kaduna.
Same way they were hailing boko boys when they started and were majorly bombing churches and police stations.
Buhari condemned killing them,Northern abi Borno elders said a fight against boko haram is a fight against the North.Sultan etc were all talking nonsense.
What is d outcome now?

SERVING IN THE CUSTOMS

Before completing my Diploma in Law programme in June 1969, a team from the Federal Civil Service Commission came on a recruitment drive to the university. By chance one of the interviewers found in my file a report that I had once been found suitable to join the police force and had in fact received some training in 1966. This in- formation was brought to the attention of the chairman of the interview panel who promptly ruled. “O.k., you go to the Department of Customs and Excise”. That was how I joined the Department of Customs and Excise in June 1969. The invisible hand that has always shaped my life had once again steered me towards my destiny. After my training at the Police College in Ikeja, Lagos and at the Customs Training School in Ebute Metta in Lagos, I was posted to Idi Iroko border station. My colleagues and I were tasked with collecting duties on imported and exported goods, stop- ping the entry and exit of banned items, and arresting and prosecuting smugglers. I was posted in 1972 to Ikeja Airport in Lagos and later to Apapa ports in Lagos. I saw Customs not as a punitive institution but as a way of making money for government. Instead of seizing goods and extorting money from their owners, I made money for government.

A lot of people tried unsuccessfully to induce me 1976.
