Please stop talking to Nigerians as if we are all illiterates or so ignorant. No fewer than 7 or 8 towns are currently under the full control of the haramites and just yesterday, another major town, Mubi, was sacked by the same Boko Haram. The Nigerian army doesn't look like a force that is up to the task. Sometime ago, the possibility that any inch of Nigerian territory could be taken over by rebels for a single day was unheard of. Now, within Nigeria there are vast areas that bandites have turned into caliphates where they hoist their flags and are doing as they like and yet the Nigerian government can do nothing about it. They even sacked a whole army headquarters in Mubi. Please stop feeding us with lies. We refuse to swallow it.
