The OP is being disingenuous. Virtually all countries in the world have issued statements of solidarity to France, are those countries without their own challenges? Besides the press statement issued by FG doesn't cost anything or somehow reduce the effort in its own campaign against Boko Haram. Using this as salvo against GEJ is lame and childish, OP could easily bring other weighty issues against GEJ that will merit attention not this non issue.

Bawss1:
@LRNZH
The battle against Boko Haram in the north is on going, it is a full military campaign. Surely no reasonable person expects a press release everyday from the FG while it wages this war.
Take the govt to task on other serious matters not this. This is just petty politics.

And you feel it was out of place to have an emergency meeting with the security chiefs ? . . .

LRNZH:
Again, I disagree.

The enemy capturing 18 female soldiers is not a non event no matter the war. Not certainly by Boko Haram

Phame:
while he was in lagos ranting over nothing that he has achieved in 6 years, the news on how bodies of people killed by boko haram 'litter' the streets of Baga came in.



jonathan mus GO!

Phame:
and what has come out of those 'meetings'?

jmaine:
While you are here wasting your time, the security personnel's are on the battle field ensuring BH doesn't extend their campaign beyond their strong enclaves . . .

Terrorism and violence should be condemned wherever it rears its ugly head. There is absolutely nothing wrong or out of place for Nigeria to condem the Paris attack even while it faces challenges within its borders.

Criticising the FG's solidarity statements to France is outrightly lame. There are a dozen other areas where we can all rightly call the FG to order not this one. It's because of the elections that why many people have thrown reason out of the window and blindly talk down on every action of the govt. This needs not be so.

BTW are Buhari supporters implying that should Buhari win there will be no more terrorist attacks in this country? I hope if he wins and attacks still occur they won't take the easy way out and blame it on the opposition.

LRNZH:
I disagree with you.

Do you not consider the implication of not issuing a statement when Boko Haram captured Baga and 28 female soldiers this week?
Someone remind me how long it took GEJ to issue a statement after the kidnap of Chibok girls last year.

These are all pointers that the FG of GEJ does not value lives at least in the NE. Not as much as French lives. Its a no brainer.

Aigbofa:
He is not being disingenuous. The same day Jonathan was issuing his statement the BBC on its website reported a town in northern Nigeria that is littered with dead bodies killed by boko haram.
The news was barely mentioned in Nigeria. Maybe Nigerian lives are worth less than French lives.

AltarBoy1:
Forget about who condem and who did not condem. If he had condem that of Baga, I wouldnt have been pissed off. An attack happened in France claiming 12lives, that same day, Baga was ransacked, hundreds dead. The president didnt see it fit to make statement on that of Baga, but went ahead to condem that of France. Is it sensible enough for a leader to do such.

Bawss1:
Are you saying you expect a press release everyday condemning every act that Boko haram engages in everyday during this war? What does that achieve? The FG's position against Boko Haram has been stated serval times already. In fact we should all be weary of press releases condemning BH, what we should clamour for is the final statement from the govt that Boko Haram has been contained.

Then it points to bigger, more grievous issues.

If such attrocities are happening frequently such that that the FG is scared to speak about it, it only means one thing.

The gov't is losing the war with Boko Haram and trying to hide it. That, is even worse than not speaking about the truth on ground.

GEJ is a failure all round .
