You’re wrong. The major problem is lack of equipment and political willingness to end the insurgency. A lot of crooks would be put of business if the war should end.

What war ? Based on all the combat videos I’ve seen the Nigerians barely put up a fight, and Boko Haram looks very amateurish. Addtionally, isnt Nigeria one of the richest African countries ? They have no equipment ?
