"The minister warned that posting pictures and stories of terrorist attacks on social media would not only instil fear in the minds of the people but encourage extremists to continue to unleash terror on the society."

What? It's the fact that innocent people are suffering which is the reason people post up pictures, videos, and stories. I would urge the "minister" to stop the terrorist attacks from occurring if he wants people to stop showing the rest of the world what's happening over there. Also us refraining from spreading news of these tragic events won't stop them from harming the innocent just like hashtags won't bring back your girls.

“The more you think about a threat or talk about it, the more worried you and the people around you will become. Don’t spread gory stories in the news and on the Internet. Terrorists love it when we sensationalise their acts of cowardice."

This is stupidity. He's pretty much saying don't let anyone know what's going on. Just go about you're daily lives. That's cool until you become the next victim. Me thinks Nigeria should think about replacing this "minister". For all anyone knows he just might be part of Boko haram.

sexzskil: Guess the only means for Nairalanders to rant and rant is back.

Some of u ur brains are so myopic, goshhhh! Locating those girls is as easy as looking for a football in an open field. American Intelligence has already saw everything from way back home. The Intelligence Personnels' coming to Nigeria is for some murky reasons, best known to them. Infact, the least of US Intelligence body knows every nook and crannies of this country than its citizens. Note also that, this problem doesn't concern them in any ways, they just care cos they see themselves as responsible for the peace of the entire planet. UN was of Western making for such.

I agree with you but actually America doesn't care at all. The only reason why America is getting involved is because of Nigeria's oil and gas. It's not that this country sees itself as the peace of the entire planet. No it's because this country wants resources.

What is fishy about it?

Everything.

MrChinex: If USA can't find the girls then they should stop calling theirselves super powers... They should call theirselves Lesser powers... Simple

They're not trying to find them. People please. Eventually you'd think that reality would sink in. Nigeria must look for these girls. The west does not care for them at all. America supported the the terrorist in Syria. America trained Al-Qaeda. America is part of the reason why Libya is the way it is today. Someone please connect the dots. America will not help these girls.
