Why Not Nigeria: The US Military Support To Cameroon.

Culled From my unedited post at a Friend's Timeline on Facebook - About 6 AM Nigeria Time, October 17, 2015. 

Trust, brother, trust. It is about trust. And it is working against us - hamstringing our ability to overcome the invisibility of a once ragtag sect in Bornu State. Indeed, it has nothing to do with the President we have. It has everything to do with the attitude of the Military on the ground and those managing our war. Following the hoopla that accompanied the disappearance of the Chibok Girls, the US, Great Britain, Australia, China and some other countries were willing to help to locate the girls. The US and Great Britain took a step forward and volunteered some members of their armed forces. But they did not stay long in Nigeria. They came and they left abruptly, without rescuing the Girls. And we didn't ask for explanation. If you are confronted with difficulties - difficulties you do not have the resources to surmount - be willing to seek help. When you do seek help, be willing to take instructions and be a faithful and diligent observer in the process. If you don't, then, something is fundamentally wrong with you, your stories and your alleged difficulties. If you will permit me, the Bornu region is landlocked - it has no access to sea. If that is a statement of fact, we should ask ourselves the simple question: How is the Boko Haram sect getting its ammunition, logistics support and fuel supply continuously unhindered? Also, I know this is a collateral matter, if it is correct that the Chibok Girls were to sit for Physics the day preceding the night of the kidnap, how come no one has taken the pain to verify from WAEC Board, the number of candidates officially registered to take that subject as alleged? To put it bluntly, this is an indictment on the part of our Military Personnel, Security Agencies and our Political leaders. The US Government is telling us they don't trust us, they don't trust our stories and they can't risk working with members of our armed forces. This is my take on the issue - why the US is comfortable sending drones and personnel to work with the Cameroonians who, unfortunately, are the innocent victims of Nigerian power game gone mad. This has been my position since the alleged disappearance of the Chibok Girls, especially on the issue of our relationship with the US Government and procurement of weapons of war. And I have been very right.
