One swallow does not a summer make.

Your reality is as follows:

Bombs are back - Oil prices leave Nigeria with little cash to wage a war

The jihadists have switched from holding towns to waging guerrilla war

POLITICIANS often promise more than they deliver, but those in Nigeria bit off more than most when they campaigned on a pledge to “defeat Boko Haram”. Six weeks after the inauguration of its new president, Muhammadu Buhari, the government must be wishing it had promised something less ambitious.

Boko Haram seemed to be on the ropes a few months ago. Despite its threats to disrupt the election at the end of March, the vote was largely peaceful, and the militants had been pushed back from many of the towns they had captured. Yet in recent weeks the group has struck back from its remote redoubts, killing more than 200 people in the week to July 5th (and more since then) in a series of attacks across the north.

Bombs were detonated in the major cities of Jos and Kano, neither of which had been attacked since February. Boko Haram also showed that it can still operate across borders: two suicide bombers struck Chad’s hitherto unscathed capital, N’Djamena, in mid-June, blowing themselves up outside police headquarters, killing 34 people. Horseback and motorbike-mounted raiders attacked another neighbour, Niger, twice in two weeks.

The recent attacks suggest that since their ejection from urban areas, Boko Haram jihadis have regrouped in the forests and mountains along the border with Cameroon, or have melted into local populations disguised as merchants or beggars. Many of its 6,000 fighters are still active and its leadership is intact. The group may lack the sophistication to administer territory, but it has been honing its skill at hit-and-run attacks since 2009.

Nigeria’s army, by contrast, is finding counter-insurgency far more difficult than merely liberating captured towns. It has also lost much of the support that contributed to its victories earlier this year. Mercenaries who helped turn the tide in the north-east have been sent home and Chadian soldiers have pulled back over the border. Morale among poorly equipped Nigerian troops is plummeting again. “[It is becoming] the way it used to be before—[when] one man [was issued with just] one bullet [per target]—it’s just the same now,” says one military man.

Auguby, the safety of the country is what matters. Abuja's job is to secure Nigeria. But Abuja does not have the money to do that. That Abuja is safe in the midst of death and turmoil elsewhere in Nigeria is shameful.

Has Iraqi oil money secured Iraq? Nope.

Security comes from good security forces. Nigeria has enough T-72 tanks to slaughter anything called Boko Haram.

Meanwhile, suicide bombing is going on all over the world, terrorists are now striking the capital of Canada, France, Belgium, etc....it's a global problem not peculiar to Nigeria alone, Europe and America are also victims, their money has not secured them from their own citizens attacking them at home.

I just proved to you that money is not the magic tool for securing a nation, so use your brain, or you don't have one? cheesycheesy

Meanwhile, South Africa's money has not secured your people from daily murders and räpes that is more than what you find anywhere else in Africa....Pretoria's money keeps your country ranked number one in murder and räpe in Africa tonguetongue

Murder is measured in rate per 100,000 you fool cheesycheesy

That is UN standard, murder rate by country, that's why tiny Swaziland is in the top 10 but giant India is not on the list.

Fool, murder is not measured by total number of deaths per country, otherwise India and China will be in the top 10. Murder is measured by rate, South Africa is 31 per 100,000 while Nigeria is 20.

Tanks are not good for fighting terrorists. Just like Grippens are not good for fighting poachers.

Most African countries have poor to zero data collection for crime. So it is impossible to Check that claim.

Go look how we delt with our own islamic terrorists in the late 1990's then come back for some training in intelligence operations.

Nigeria has over 33000 homicides annually tell and let's be honest how many per day is that. By the way Nigerians are themselves contributing to SA crime stats from murder,rape, drugs, prostitution and human/child trafficking rings.

This report by researchers in your FG clearly state how your police don't keep accurate stats on all crimes throughout nigeria.
