Re: USA Africa Dialogue Series - boko haram again

We are having these conversations because we have not asked what happened to the BILLIONS of dollars, NOT Naira allocated and allegedly spent on safety and security in Nigeria. Once liberals start asking those kinds of questions Africa will start moving forward. It costs more per soldier than in the West. Your guess is as good as mine as to what happens to those funds. I have no respect for intellectual musings when it comes to thes issues. I am a practical person. By the way, the same argument may be extended to the rot in our educational institutions. Many of the beneficiaries of that rot are on this forum - mouthing sweet bullshit. Shame on all of us!
