KNOW WHAT YOU DON'T KNOW....Most read

Let me remind those criticizing the involvement of Chadian,Nigerian and Camerounian troops in the war against Boko Haram that...... In 1775-7,the Americans relied heavily on the French to defeat their British colonial overlords. In 1940-45,the British,who were the colonial masters of the Americans begged the Americans for arms and troops to vanquish the Axis powers. It was the Combined efforts of the Canadians ,Americans and Africans that liberated occupied France and Europe from the clutches of Hitler In the 90s,the US had to assemble forces from 30 nations before ejecting Saddam from Kuwait.Nigeria was also approached to contribute troops but she declined. The second gulf war was like that too. In the 50s,US,did not halt the advance of the North Koreans in the South alone.It went in with the Canadians,french,British . In invading,Afghanistan,the Americans,persuaded the Germans,French,British,,Poles to contribute troops to chase out the Talibans. The Americans also begged the Russians to stay cleAmericans) them the use of their bases. Closer home,Nigeria had in recent past sent troops to Chad to help keep the peace. It had participated in the operation that saved Mali from Islamists bent on usurping power. Nigeria had single-handedly restored Tejjan Kabba back to power in Sierra leone It helped in restoring democracy to Liberia. Why then the criticisms of foreign operations against terrorism in Nigeria knowing that no nation is too big or small to help. Boko Haram is a global phenomenon and no nation or leader in this world can lay claim to having vanquish terror alone. Buhari ,Tinubu and those criticizing the current government on this issue are highly hypocritical ,malicious and lacks credibility. Their solution to this saga is nondescript at best woeful
