The Catholic Archbishop of Jos, Ignatius Kaigama has queried the quality of help America is said to be giving to Nigeria towards the fight against Boko Haram. In an interview with BBC Africa, Bishop Kaigama wondered why Boko Haram attacks is still on the increase despite the reported help America is offering Nigeria
"The question is if the US has been providing help, intelligence and assisting in one way or the other, why the growing destruction? Why is the activities of Boko Haram becoming so sophisticated? So I wonder the quality of help. How effective is that help? How can it bring this situation to a halt? We (Nigeria) certainly need help to overcome this terrorist group because they seem to be expanding and growing more sophisticated in their approach and they are claiming lives and displacing so many Nigerians."
He called on the international community to show genuine concern to issues of terrorism on other parts of the world and not just Europe..
"Let us act together. It is important to feel concern when one part of the world is in trouble. Whether it is in the middle east, Whether is in the sub saharan africa. whether it is in Europe or America. I think we should be genuinely concerned for one another and do what we can like I see the very positive response of the french government in tackling the issue of religious violence after the killings of their citizens. There have been very very positive and putting in all they can in order to ensure this does not happen again. We need that spirit to be spread around. Not just when it happens in Europe but when it happens in Nigeria, in Niger, in Cameroon, in any poor country, that we mobilize our international resources and confront the people who bring such sadness to many families"he said

The answer is near feBUHARI 14th is d date...
Tell dem sir
Which America isnhe talking about? The one Nigeria cancelled their help -training agreement and went putting in their faith in Russia's hands?
He should ask what the russians are doing to help nigeria because to the best of my knowledge, Nigeria already cut military ties with America.
Or better still, He should ask his President as America did not undertake to protect our lives and properties.
All would soon be a story of the past..lets just be patient..God still saying something. Psalm 46:10. @Bishop_Dammy

I thought US withdrew their help long ago?!
Its complicated and I think the military doesnt help either.
BISHOP, ITS LIKE ITS LONG U SEE UR NEWS OO, U.S HAS DEFINITELY WITHDRAWN FOR LONG SINCE ITS KNOWN BH IS AN IN HOUSE THING, U.S WONT EXPOSE THEIR TROOP TO DANGER WHEN THEY KWN THERE ARE TRAITORS AMONGST THE NIG ARMY ITSELF.
African leaders should come together and help themselves, must Americans and Europe always help? All they do is loot their nations, don't you think you should talk to this thieves about that?
If Nigeria truely wanted help america would have helped. But this BH thingy is too politically orientated

This question is really needed cos they can't be helping us and what is happening is increasing
U re stupid for making dis kinda comment.
My personal view: the united states are willing to help, but our corrupt leaders are giving them no room to do so. God help us.
Hilary: the voice crying in the wilderness of Nnewi.

CORRUPT OR NOT CORRUPT EVERY COUNTRY HAS ITS OWN UPS & DOWN, MAY GOD HELP MY COUNTRY NIGERIA
Odiegwu. God pls give our leaders the wisdom to fight this boko haram.
Shalom! !!!
Shut up your God forsaken mouth if not that you are a kid I don't see reason why you won't see clearly what the situation is, America will not benefit anything from the north if it was in the naija delta region they would have jumped over there cus there companies are looting there, they went to Afghanistan cus of there opium, they went to Iraq in the name of (WMD) weapon of mass destruction but there main reason was for there oil, they went to libya that was in peace and instigated a civil war that is still going on till today for there selfish interest which is oil and they settled there allies . you mean to tell me they have not been hearing of boko haram destructions all this while and consider them a terrorist group as they consider (ISIS) Islamic state of iraq , al-qaeda and the rest of em all. Boko haram has been in existence since 2002 and the world new if they where not checkmated they would grow into a force that it has grown to today, but they have nothing to gain so they act like they don't know of em
Do people watch CNN, the international community offered to help, but we rejected because some people are benefitting from this insurgency. Nigeria has been on CNN in the last 72 hrs. No one is taking us serious.
Why will America help us, while we are not ready to share information with them, we claim they want our oil, sorry Dying Oil, if give full hand the americans will deal with Boko haram in no time, ask osama, and co naijaside.com
''BOKO HARA''
Plz is there another terrorist group called boko hara
Jesus!!!!
LOL LINDA IKEJI ALWAYS CHECK YOUR BLOG A'TIMES CUZ YOU DAE EMBARRASS ME DIE
With reports of troops fleeing from/abandoning their duty posts in the face of attacks, zero support to troops with regard to ammo supply and the woeful, hollow and corrupt military system that we have on ground, no sane government would attempt to send troops down here. Who is this Book Haram? Perhaps the Americans know something that we don't? That Book Haram is nothing but a tool in the hands of wicked and corrupt kingmakers. ..
Where are the tanks recently acquired?
Why blame Americans whereas the president have neglected the security of its citizens....abeg leave them alone they have the issue of ISIS that they are tackling

US is like satan, he uses one hand to give and the other hand to collect something dear to you..as far as am concerned, US cannot totally help Nigeria cuz we are against Gay rights, which according to them is against fundamental human rights..they are agents of the devil, so don't expect much help from them, without them gaining something from us..
Bia isi monkey , mechie onu gi..shut up ur mouth and show some respect..come oo is ur mummy aware that ur using phone?, cuz the last time I checked she collected it from you..
Erm... but US has withdrawn its help since na, they said our military was reluctant to fight, abi dis baba did not read the news that day?
em... Mr. Bishop, na u sabi, if him no call them now you go still talk. haba
No it's not Okay... It's the leaders of Nigeria that are Boko Haram.
You are a complete idiot for saying such a thing. It's obvious you don't know that the Christians in the north are under attack and threat of extinction
Will u shut that ur dirty mouth...see ur head like corrupt nation
Well said but I dont think they r yet to giv assisting hand in Bh fight...
Hopefully it will go a long way and mak d difference.

It is the responsibility of any government to protect all its' citizens. the world is too civilized and developed for any nation to ultimately depend on another to protect her citizens. Nigerians have got to wake up from slumber and begin to hold the government accountable for inaction and stop criticizing another nation for not helping. Let's stop celebrating ill acquired wealth and start rebuking everyone-not just politicians-that fuel the inordinate quest for wealth that has become a pandemic in Nigeria.
We r on our own,no help 4rm Americans anymore
I beg to differ..don't think we are as corrupt as we make to look.
@ king kok, get dis straight. Heaven help those cannot help themselves
Gbam. Very well sed
All you Bishops were condemning Fr. Mbaka for saying the truth. You shy away from the fact and ask stupid questions. All must rise up with one voice to save our country before seeking for outside help. A word is enough for the wise
Eze, U r so unreasonable
Better bury ur head in shame, cos u are archaic 4 speaking ill of a man of God
Well said.
Why will the US waste their resources on Nigeria. When the Nigerian govt doesn't seem to be bothered with everything going on.
na only GOD go help us. too many issues
Nigeria OYO
na so life be
