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
 

They got a good movie out of it though

Re: Nigeria
 

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

Re: Nigeria
 

They always do ... maybe that's what its all about.

Poor little girls, probably sold into marriage or even something worse.

Poor kids ... and all in the name of the Prophet ... All Muslims should be hanging their heads in shame or expressing outrage. But I for one ain't holding my breath.

Re: Nigeria
 

Probably already happened considering the degenerates who've taken them.

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
 

Probably worse for the girls.
:(

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
 

It probably got spent on a new jet and fleet of limo's.

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

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. :
