President Jonathan Hires Foreign Troops To Fight Boko Haram With $400 Daily Pay Per Soldier
March 16, 2015 – EXPOSED: President Jonathan Hires Foreign Soldiers To Fight Boko Haram With $400 Daily Payment Per Soldier
Nigeria’s President Goodluck Jonathan in a recent interview when asked questions on the “foreign mercenaries” operating in Nigeria, responded that Nigeria had to call them in to “train” our men and “repair” equipment as the country did not have “the luxury of time” to have its soldiers trained on the new equipment imported.
While appreciating the necessity for and necessary speed of this 6-week war, we ask the president what happened for 6 years; and why in particular he now knows that Boko Haram can and should be dealt with in speed and with all urgency. Is it because of the Nigerians who have been being massacred for the past 6 years or is this urgency simply electioneering and because of his political life?
If indeed as appears obvious, President Goodluck Jonathan is only finally engaging in this war because we and the world told him that with Boko Haram holding on and succeeding to continue to terrorize Nigerians, there is no way he can win at the February-March polls; and this war only became necessary and urgent to him because of his political life, then we tell Goodluck Jonathan that he is “dead.”
On behalf of the people of Borno, Adamawa and Yobe and the Boko Haram terror catchment north, and the rest Nigerians, we ask Jonathan four questions:
1) why the sudden urgency and 6-week time frame of the war?
2) did he always know Boko Haram can be defeated in 6-weeks?
3) why did he rather employ foreigners for a rush job than employ us the Civilian-JTF and hunter patriots since for the job we were already doing but needed better support and simple permission to complete?
4) why did he arrest us hunters and block our forward push against Boko Haram only to hire foreign mercenaries at $400+ / day to do the same?
We thank Mr. President for his expected response.
It will be wiser he talks directly to us than to all these chiefs he goes to beg and allegedly raining dollars on.

You said it all Ben the main important thing for Gej is to get rid boko haram once of all either genuine or counterfeit.

I consider this a wasteful spending. Nigeria can never conquer boko haram now that ISIS is involved it isgoing to get worse.
It is only wise for Nigeria to have a muslim leader now It may help calm down the tension in a way just saying

@ duru james I beg to disagree! U will see with me dat in as much as d north has ruled dis countrry for so many years d most impovirish reagons are still d northern reagons! D question u will ask urself is why is it so! We dnt need a northern or muslim president because nigeria is not their property! When they establish their caliphate they can kill themselves for all I care!

For me, I think the best thing to do ‘s to divide the country into 3 places so that peace will remain

well, the best option is to divide nigeria into north, south south and east.
Biafra Nation, Oduduwa Nation, Arewa Nation, Ijaw Nation. that is all, let the arewa adopt sharia and the rest of their believe. Christians there are welcome to freeland to practice their christianity. lets stop this pretence, diarris no nigerian.

This duru james, remains perpetually uninformed, can u imagine his shallow comment? Is it because GEJ hails from the minority part of this country, that’s why, he cant safely drink water and raise the cup? If his profligate predeccessor, in the name OBJ could misrule this con3 and further sought 4 additional illegal term of 4 years without anyone roaring thunderstorm & brimstone,like we is the case presently, y now? Okkkk! Its simply because he’s not a yoruba or hausa man…..God dey ooooooo….GEJ2015nonnegotiable…..

NIGERIA PROBLEM IS ETHIC DIVERSITY. THE COUNTRY NEEDS TO SPLIT INTO THREE FOR PEACE TO RAIN. THE THREE MAJOR TRIBES DON’T EVEN LIKE EACH OTHER IN THE FIRST PLACE. WE HAD THE OPC FOR SOUTH WEST, NIGER DELTA MILITANTS FROM SOUTH SOUTH AND NOW BOKO HARAM FROM NORTH EAST. ONLY TWO TRIBES ACCEPTED THEIR AMNESTY AND THE HAUSA BH REJECTED IT BECAUSE THEIR SENT TO DESTROY AND KILL INNOCENT CITIZENS. THEY’VE GOT SPONSORS IN THE GOVERNMENT, BUT NOBODY HAS BEEN ARRESTED. A COUNTRY IN WHICH THE PRESIDENT IS INVOLVED AND CONTROLLING THE NATIONAL CAKE. MR OBAMA DON’T INVOLVED IN THE FBI AFFAIR. HE ALLOWED THEM TO DO THEIR JOB NOT LIKE OUR SO CALLED LEADERS IN NIGERIA. EFCC ARREST THE PEOPLE THEIR TOLD TO DEAL WITH, BUT NOT THE CORRUPT POLITICIANS.
