These are serious war crimes the French, there colonia masters are folding there hands doing nothing, likewise the rest European and western countries. If it was Nigeria there would be enough sanctions levied against us by now.

@newafricaken254 should have seen these videos and so many others, I watched some on your twitter account. there was these particular one with woman backing there babies and children at there sides been escorted into a bush part and been murdered in cold blood.

But it's not on Nigerian soil. most of the people killed in all these videos are English speaking part in Cameroon. And they where labelled having affiliates with terrorist activities, wife and families of BHT.

Most of these allegations are false, I see these has another tribal cleansing happening in Africa.

the west does care,except when they are favoring dictator that side with them.i have seen those videos,africans need to wake up and realise we alone can solve our own problems"not the west or anyone else"recently a pastor was arrested in turkey,trump administration days later sanctioned turkey and issue more threats.wait and see what will happen when ramaphosa start taking land from whites in south Africa.

The truth is that, at the end of the day we Nigerians need to be wiser...

However, the executive arm should never resort to arms. In the Nigerian constitution, there are three branches of government. No branch is bigger than the other.

Nigeria is bigger than any party politics.

Dude, did you even read your own link?

It's no fault of Pakistan, neither is it been threatened by Pakistan's economic situation. This was your argument.

if they think they can threaten Turkish deal with Pakistan,what about their own deal with turkey to sell them F-35,Which its allies are opting not to acquire or obtain less of the platforms! while Lockheed martin is expecting sales,to eventually assist in reducing F-35 Price tag !

off topic :'This mess keeps getting messier': How this year's African Athletics Championships descended into chaos

Lagos, Nigeria (CNN)The 2018 African Senior Athletics Championships, ongoing in Nigeria, should have bolstered relations between the participating 52 African nations and showcased the country's abilities to host world-class events.
Instead, it has descended into chaos and seen countries such as Tanzania pull out of the games over what they say is poor organization and a lack of communication from organizers.
The games kicked off on Wednesday. However, many of the athletes were still hundreds of miles away from the venue, stranded at the Murtala Muhammad International airport in Lagos.

The Kenyan team had arrived in Lagos on Monday afternoon but did not leave for Asaba, where the games are being held in southeast Nigeria, until Wednesday.
Some of the athletes say they faced visa issues and others were forced to camp at the airport because there were no connecting flights.Photos of top African athletes sleeping on the floor surrounded by their luggage at the airport were posted on social media, sparking anger. Athletics Tanzania decided to pull out of the competition after hearing about the chaos, its secretary said.
Major events, including the women's 100-meter race scheduled for the first day, were postponed because of organizing problems, organizers Confederation of Africa Athletics. or CAA, said The stranded Kenyan athletes eventually traveled to Asaba on Wednesday morning, where they competed in the 10,000-meter race on the same day.
Kenya's sports ministry has reacted furiously to the way its athletes were treated and said it would petition the world body, the International Association of Athletics Federation, and the CAA.
Some have questioned Asaba's preparedness to host the competition, which serves as a qualifier for the IAAF Continental Cup in Ostrava, the Czech Republic in September. "It is beyond our comprehension why Asaba was given the rights to host an event of this caliber without putting into consideration the logistics around the connecting flights. As a country, we are disappointed we have to go through this kind of treatment, and we intend to petition the IAAF and the CAA over this kind of confusion," Kenya's chief administrative secretary for sport, Hassan Noor Hassan, said in a statement.
Wesley Botton, chief sports reporter for The Citizen newspaper in South Africa, tweeted that he didn't have a hotel room nor media accreditation to enter the stadium. "No hotel rooms available and no accreditation for us to get into the stadium, less than an hour before the start of the African Athletics Champs. This mess keeps getting messier. That's my grumpy face #Asaba2018," Botton tweeted.
Although, he later added on Twitter that "after a horribly, wobbly start. The local organising committee really pulled through today at the African Championships in Asaba. With all the criticism they've received, glad to see them reacting and pulling up their socks. Great day of athletics."
Tanzania pulls out
However, the turnaround was too late for the Tanzanian team, which decided not to take part in the games on Thursday.
Athletics Tanzania's secretary Wilhelm Gidabuday said the team made the difficult decision to back out because of concerns over a lack of information about visas.
Gidabuday said immigration letters that would guarantee its athletes a visa on arrival in Nigeria were sent a day before the championship.
"When the letters were sent, it was even sent via Whatsapp and not email. We saw what happened to the Kenyan team and we can't risk that happening to our athletes. We will wait 'til next year to compete," Gidabuday said.
He said even though athletes were supposed to register online for the biannual championship, his team's officials traveled to Nigeria three weeks ago to confirm its participation.
"The website was not working, so we traveled to Asaba because we were so keen on participating. We are not angry, but we are disappointed," Gidabuday added.Tanzania's absence at the championship scuttles the team's chances of competing at the 2018 IAAF Continental Cup later this year.
But local organizing committee chairman Chief Solomon Ogba at a media briefing Thursday in Asaba said the Tanzanian team confirmed their participation and travel plans at the competition late.
"Their decision to be in Nigeria was a late one by them, and that was what affected them. Technically, they were not registered and so it cannot really be classified as withdrawal," Ogba said.
According to Gidabuday, he registered five athletes when he visited Asaba in July.
"I registered them right there in Asaba in July. Why would I have come to Asaba?" he said.
"It's not my home. We are not there because the organizers did not send visa invitations on time," he added. link https://edition.cnn.com/2018/08/03/africa/african-athletics-championship-chaos/index.html

How many years did it take America to capture or eliminate Osama Bin Laden

The problem is not shekau; killing a number 1 terrorist or leader in a group as never solved terrorism anywhere in the world.

Muhammed yusuf was the founder of BHT. Focusing on killing Shekau, his like playing into is hands. We should focus on killing the ideology.

basically what your saying,there is no reason in going after the command and control or decapitating the leadership!?.if your incapable of killing its leadership,how are you able to vanquish on such an organization!?boko haram has force the nigeria government to treat it as an equal,that why during hostage negotiation ,boko haram demanded to be reward equally during hostage release.pakistan military has forced numerous times the pakistan taliban to ask for a ceasefire,when has that ever happened between nigeria and boko haram.this terrorist groups don't have aircraft carriers or warships,they have leaders,that's why you rarely ever see hezbollah leader in public
