#1 "Why is America all of a sudden concerned about Nigeria?"

Because.

Had the 300 schoolgirls had been Filipinas, the White House wouldn't given a rat's ass.

The power of social media?

#6 Yes, I know.

Nigeria also exports a significant amount of oil (40% of its production) to the US. Mr. Biden is merely one way NNPC 'oils' palms in the process.

#10 Follow the money...both for Obama Biden and Boko Haram.

Why aren't we doing more in Africa?

And who is funding Boko Haram?

The OBAMABIDEN money machine is eyeball deep in Nigeria and they are getting rich. Of course they would protect their interests. If this BH cancer spreads, no one can do business in Nigeria. Hell Nigeria was dangerous enough before these nut jobs appeared on the scene much less NOW.

Previous administrations thought enough of the crazy crap in Africa to send teams into Equatorial Africa to keep track of things...hence my ordeals in Angola, Uganda and Southern Rhodesia. So the Democrats have abandoned Africa to the bottom feeders.

Me thinks we have more to fear from the "pestilence" of Islamic extremism from Africa than the ME because we are watching the ME more closely...coming to a city near you a Boko Haram terrorist act of horrific magnitude and brutality...
