Nigeria
Nigeria is an important cesspit - why don't the USA get in and give Boko Haram a good slapping? Maybe a good redeployment from Afghanistan?

Re: Nigeria
Probably because the last time they went into Africa (east) Mogadishu, Somalia, they got a very bitter wake up call despite all their high tech. Added to that there's not a great deal of value to be had there, so why bother?

Re: Nigeria
Wish the USA would stop poking their noses in where it is not really wanted.

Re: Nigeria
Disgusting.
The total failure and lack of interest from the Nigerian government is the worst aspect. Good luck Jonathan must be to busy counting his millions. |

Re: Nigeria
Maybe if it was school boys rather than girls there would be more interest. It doesn't bear thinking about what might have happened to them. It must be terrible for their families.

Re: Nigeria
From a piece on TV this morning which showed a young man speaking his mind, I think questions are starting to be asked by the Nigerian people about corruption in high places. He asked where the billons of dollars (I think he said $22 million) the USA gave Nigeria a few years ago which was supposed to specifically be spent on bringing the Boko Haram gangs to book.

Re: Nigeria
Having been there a few times, happiness is landing gear up at Lagos
 I can assure you that Goodluck Johnson does not have a new jet, heck $22 mil will only buy a old biz jet. Most likely a Swiss or Grand Cayman bank account

Re: Nigeria
I've just visited the website of the World Bank and seen the mind boggling sums Nigeria receives per anum and over a period of time, Billions of Dollars are not peanuts - here's the latest published sum = $1,915,820,000. :
