I was going to be clever and write a piece about the situation with Bergdahl……but sine he is GUILTY…..at least he is in the minds of Americans because the media has made sure that he is seen as a guilty in the court of public opinion……I decided not to add any more to the mindless recriminations…….I shall move on.

Not much is being said these days about the 200+ girls that have been kidnapped in Nigeria…….that story was milked for all it was worth and having depleted the situation time for the media to move on…..unfortunately there are tenacious dicks like my self that will not let it go…..

I read the other day that the Nigerian government has banned the protests for the girls for they say it is not helping with the negotiations……..but digging below the media stuff I found a piece that could explain why Boko Haram is so well organized……

A report circulating through most major Nigerian newspapers says that ten Nigerian generals and five other senior officials in the Nigerian military have been found guilty of arming Boko Haram in a secret court-martial.

Nigeria’s military insists the reports are false, and part of a “plot” by persons unknown to harm Nigeria’s international standing.by portraying the military in a negative light.

The reports said that the generals were not only sending arms to the militants, but had also sent them information to help them ambush army convoys, and allowed rank-and-file soldiers to leave to go fight alongside Boko Haram and then return to barracks.

Leadership newspaper, which broke the story, quoted several unnamed military officers, who say they were told to keep the matter secret. President Goodluck Jonathan has previously said he believes some members of the military leadership and cabinet ministers are Boko Haram sympathizers.

There is the answer of why this situation has spiraled out of control……no matter the outcome of the girls situation Nigeria will remain a land of corruption, violence and uncertainty.

Side Note:

another police statement denied issuing any protest banning order, insisting that they had only released an “advisory notice”.

It said that there was a risk of the protest rallies being attacked by “criminal elements having links with insurgents”.

Those wanting to attend such gatherings should “seek proper advice and guidance from the police” in order to “avoid any unpleasant circumstances”, the statement said.
