I thought Nigeria is Africa's super power. Can't even take care of your own domestic issues and you have the guts to run your mouth?

The country with the largest armed forces on the continent can't deal with a small off-shot of religious fanatics? What a big shame. Soso mouth mouth and 419 scams.

Apart from the civil war Nigeria had with Republic of Biafra, the Nigeria military by itself has a long history of "Desertion" and if this is an act of delinquency, who knows. Maybe the FEAR itself.
In brief, it happened in Congo war during the Congo crisis, and if now Nigeria still cannot fight its war with Boko Haram do not be daunted.
"Earlier this month Nigerian security officials ruled out the need for a United Nations or African Union-backed force to fight Boko Haram, saying the country and its partners could handle the threat". Unquote.
But how long has this being going on? Of recent news Nigeria troops on head to head running away from Boko Haram her-mi,de-mi, se-mi troops. This is cowardliness.
And if the Nigeria government is under criticism at home and abroad for failing to stop the advance of Boko Haram, then we will hold no one accountable other than the government.
I do still believe that the Nigeria government still has that insubordination intact; if Nigeria don't want an ANT to lead the African Continent and it should be an Elephant, well OGAH do something. DON'T BE A PAPER TIGER.

Nigerian leaders should stop stealingand concentrate on rhe development of Nigeria. Who should come and fight Nigeria's war. The policians have stolen everything naira in that country without providing better war machines. They expect their army to fight Boko Haram. If Boko Haram is able to provide better arms for their evil Islamic fighters, why can't Nigerian government provide best arms for Nigerian army.

I hope Ghanaian soldiers will refuse to fight the war of corrupt Nigerian leaders. There are no leaders in Africa. Africa is in big problem. These stupid African leaders just met there to eat and drink.

If there are leaders among them Robert Mugabe, the mass murderer of his own people won't be chosen for leader of African Union.

If we don't help defeat Boko Haram in Nigeria soon, we'll be fighting them in Ghana, thanks to incompetent Nigerian leadership & corruption. It's a lesson for Ghana

Don't take any Ghanaians to Nigeria, b'cos Nigerians don't like Ghanaians, if we play football with them they kill our people in Nigeria.

Why should AU forces fight for Nigeria whilst their leaders embark on election campaign without any regard for their northern citizens?

AU should sit back and request an action plan from the Nigerian government ASAP and review before making any contribution.

It's obvious the Nigerian government do not want to take care of business which I think is within their capability. Goodwill Jonathan doesn't want to take care of his responsibilities and there is no doubt about it.

Nigerians should kick him out of office and sell his hats to charity.

And what has Nigeria done to fight this madness? Nothing. Look at the belllies, protruding bellies(more than that of pregnant women) of those generals.} They grace TV screens and spit falsehood of how they are in control. They must take lead. Nigeria has the largest security force in West Africa, and they are running away and can't deal with this Bokohoram menance. No African nation should contribute troops, until Nigeria has shown a brave face to fight and uproot this menance. Pot bellied generals must lead the foot soldiers into the bush to rescue the girls. This is a shame Nigeria. What is the military for. Show parades?.
