Curbing the Boko Haram menace

 How can we end the boko haram crisis in the country ?Well it is quite imperative that all the government can do is to pay lip service to combating the menace .The insurgents are back and just yesterdaty a female suicide bomber attacked a college of education in Niger state injuring about four persons,
well I think that we have still have lots of things to do to end this menace in our society,Nigeria .Combating terrorism should be the effective determination of all and you cannot leave it alone to say to president Goodluck Jonathan .Jonathan is just one person like you and me and to fight terrorism all hands must to be on deck to combat this menace currently ravaging the north eastern part of the country.If we can all join hands together and fight it then the insurgents will not always be able to operate but as far as there are certain persons conniving with them they will always be able to operate .if we can all come out and rennounce terrorism then the insurgents will find it extremely difficult to operate.as far as the northern muslims see it as a religious matter then the insurgents will have a field day.
The major reason I have decided to write this article on my blog is to show my sympathy to several thousands that have been killed and many that have been rendered homeless by the evil activities of this particular sect group.Now can I take a look at our armed forces their capability to overcome boko haram?well its just a matter of time before this sect can be smoked out with all the resources at the disposal of the Jonathan's men I think that the insurgents can be overcomed if we all join hands in supporting the president .Look overcoming boko haram is not what that can be left alone to just a single man you call Mr.President the collective efforts of all Nigerians is needed.Just few days ago the federal government blasted the United States for refusing to sell arms to Nigeria and hence,consequently making it more difficult to combat the sect.I have reasoned about this and found out that it seems that the United States may somehow not to be interested in seeing the Nigeria Forces overcome boko haram.The U.S say s that the core reason for refusing to sell the arms to Nigeria is that the Nigeria government forces have been seriously violating basic human rights and her(U.S)  regulations prohibits selling arms to such nations that violates human rights.But I want to ask the United States one question: how and where are these human rights abuses committed and why have you failed to assist nigeria as you assisted Syria in bombing ISIS hideouts using tomahawk missiles.The said human rights violations levelled agains the nigerian state by the United States and refusing to sell arms to nigeria  were and if they ever existed committed during attempts to dismantle boko haram networks and the ideal thing that the United States should have done is to overlook this and sell arms to the Nigeria armed forces
 Now the situation is pathetic as the sect has captured some towns in Adamaswa and Yobe states with the Nigerian government saying is about to reclaim these towns back from the dreaded sect group.I will also like the Federal Government to move ahead and reclaim these towns and paveway for total liberation of north eastern nigerian fron the grips of boko haram
