This Whole Boko Haram Thing Is Just A Political Game, Writes Victor.

Only the narrow minded will completely doubt that Boko Haram is being sponsored by the Jonathan-led government.

Tell me why the once highly regarded Nigerian army that single-handedly brought peace to a war ravaged Liberia and Sierra Leone and has successfully engaged in several peace keeping operations around the world, now for whatever reasons can't defend itself/defeat an insurgency movement in its own country?

Those in the know and those who have military background - like my dad, who is a retired Captain would tell, that this whole Boko Haram thing is just a political game.

The bottom line is Nigeria military has been politicized to a whole new level which has never been seen before.

We keep hearing stories of how the Airforce has, on numerous occasions refused to conduct air campaign on Boko Haram, I mean why would the airforce ignore a call by the army to strike Boko Haram? If this isn't politics then I don't know what is.

Take ISIS for example, western airstrike has reduced ISIS capability to record low, in turn boasted the morale of the iraqi army as they move in.

A critical look would suggest that there seem to be absolute zero coordination whatsoever between the different arms of the military especially in this present Goodluck Jonathan's administration, which has never been seen nor documented on past administration, which lead me to want to believe that perhaps Mr Labaran Maku is not way off of the truth.

There are Boko Haram apologist in Jonathan's team who are hell bent in destroying the peace and unity of this country for reasons best known to them, if not, then Goodluck Jonathan himself could be the culprit afterall he is the Chief Executive of the country as well as the military.
