As President Muhammadu Buhari looks into the Boko Haram war efforts of the last administration, information has emerged that Nigeria’s traditional allies in the West deliberately frustrated the efforts of former President Goodluck Jonathan’s, towards bringing an end to terrorists’ activities in the country.

A security source disclosed in Abuja that Nigeria, during Jonathan’s administration, 25 letters were written to the United States of America and other Western nations, seeking to acquire weapons to combat the terrorists, but they all turned down the requests.


“What was most painful was the fact that Nigeria was not begging to be given those weapons as gifts. We were ready to pay for them but they turned their backs on us when we needed them most.“ The same people who made all the promises about assisting us to bring an end to the Boko Haram attacks and bring back the abducted Chibok girls did everything they could to frustrate our efforts. “A conclusion was reached that the nation would suffer more devastation should she continue to beg those we regarded as our friends when things were going on well with us. It was at that point that the nation had to look elsewhere, especially towards the East and Asia”, he said.

Pls pls pls DON'T GIVE ANY EXCUSE FOR THE CLUELESSNESS AND INCOMPETENCE THAT BELITTLED THE PAST ADMINISTRATION IN ANNIHILATING BOKO HARAM. THEY HAD ALL THE TIME TO DO IT BUT THE PDP LEADERSHIP AND ITS CRONIES DECIDED TO LOOT THE NATION DRY WHILE PAYING LIP SERVICE TO THE WAR AGAINGST THE INSURGENCE THAT CLAIMED THOUSANDS OF LIVES.

The Christian president chose to forgo weapons rather than end human rights violations. The muslim president did the opposite. Very ironic.

Jonathan tried towards the end of his regime, Boko Haram was created by the Hausa's and let them face the full wrath of their creation
Tired of this their born to rule mentality

America mst hear this rumor..

That's awful but its still nothing compared to what's been going on in the north east.

Human right violations exist in pockets all over Nigeria! For the North East, a thin line exists between rights violation and collateral damage. When residents shield Boko Haram proponents, it comes with a price! I'm not defending GEJ's ineptitude, but we need to show that all stakeholders in this sordid affair have a measure of blame! The residents aren't exempt!

I hope you have evidence of this assertion. Knowing how vengeful and brutal the Nigeria Police and Armed forces can be (the civil war, Odi, Zaki-Biam and Baga being examples of such) it will unfair to blame the victims.

The link below could be a pointer.

...reading important comments only

Apart from media reports to this effect, probability of occurrences favours this assertion! Intelligence gathering has been hindered by un-cooperative residents (the Chibok girls issue is a testimony of the failure of community vigilance) and while many have since made a u-turn, prior roles frustrated military efforts!

The only reason why GEJ could not fight BH was lack of political will and corruption. His cabinet members and military chiefs were feeding fat on funds meant for prosecution of the war and I'd be surprised if he wasn't aware, he probably thought that the insurgency in the north will work to his favor in terms of votes not knowing that God had other plans. Don't tell me that crap about USA refusing to sell weapons to us. Where did the military get the weapons they used taking the bloody terrorists down few weeks before the election? For six years you knew you had alternative means of getting weapons yet you allowed our gallant soldiers to suffer and die for nothing dismissing or giving death sentences to those who dare to challenge the system.

Thank God we now have a leader in Baba who has genuine consign for the country and her people (citizens of the north east and our courageous military men in theater of war). Looking at our new service chiefs you will know these men know exactly what to do and how to get it done. The chief Army staff in particular leads his troop on the field and not from and an ac tight office somewhere in Abuja.

Seriously aside the media parapazzi by the new COAS ,how is the current war faring under him? Is it any better than during GEJ's time? More people havve been killed on daily average under buhari than under GEJ including the about 100 killed in the last few days!!!

Buhari has not really done much to stem the tide of killings!!! Lets just quit the propaganda and face the real truth.

Now terrorists only attack soft targets using innocent looking teenage girls as suicide bombers. That's more difficult to handle. Under GEJ they were running down our soldiers, collecting their weapons and taking over local governments, we had a sizeable part of our territory (as large as the size of Belgium) under the control of terrorists for months. You can't even compare at all.

since a man with "political will" is now at the helm of affairs, has he ended the war? Instead we now hear of attacks everyday. And surprisingly these days, we never hear of when boko haram captures a town, we only hear of it when the army recaptures it. Abeg, face reality and stop apportioning blames.

Hmmm... Maybe so or maybe Not!

Make Boko Haram sha Become History.

If you really think that's what happened then you don't know America or the West. To even begin with, what are these violations of human rights? The useless Amnesty International whose only searchlight is in Africa and the East will never see anything good here. When the military invited them to investigate the issue with them none showed up.

What is America doing and did in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria in the guise of rebels, Yemen, Libya in the name of NATO? America has destroyed the middle east and heading to North Africa.

What about the wickedness of Israel in Palestine? Using individuals as human shields. Destroying an entire people because of a single terrorist or bunkers that may not even exist. Shooting little boys for throwing Stones at the Soldiers. Conducting military training in Palestinians neighborhood.

The same 'human rights' America give Israel 3Billion Dollars in Military support every year to sustain this evil. And Israel has just made it legal to shoot at kids throwing stones. What has the useless Amnesty International said about it? I had to reply to this because I think you should know better. America has never helped any country to defeat terrorism. And Israel as long as they remain terrorists themselves will never defeat terrorism.

Boko haram is never going to end until huasa elites n religious leader tell themselves and their children the truth..

I hope the cluefull and macho present government fights n wins.
Because d same US who promised to help d intelligent daura president said they won't give weapons same as they did Jonathan. U know d reason y.
So stop talking in that manner. Cos in 3 years u may not be able to defend the present govt

You don't need that. Boko Haram has gone past mere condemnation. The inspiration and incentive is from a higher source now. It is just a will to win on the part of the leader. Jonathan should have left Ihejirika there. That was the mistake he made.

What Buhari needs now is to use the Americans since they are showing interest. I know they have an interest detrimental to ours. But Buhari needs to use them. Make them think their plan is working while advancing his.

Don't expect religious leaders who are not willing to die for they hold true to do anything. As in, if you believe in a heavenly after life what are you still doing with a helmet? Our religious leaders are cowards who do not even know what they believe.

Good morning to all gullible Nigerians


So when Jona was saying this you all turn deaf ears

Now you want to act as if you guys didn't know




Buhari end this war or be impeached.
