Nigeria's President Now Blames Cameroon for Boko Haram Insurgency
2014-03-03
[SPYGHANA] The President of Nigeria is accusing its eastern neighbor, Cameroon of not cooperating with it and allowing cross-border pursuit of Boko Haram
... not to be confused with Procol Harum, Harum Scarum, possibly to be confused with Helter Skelter. The Nigerian version of al-Qaeda and the Taliban rolled together and flavored with a smigeon of distinctly Subsaharan ignorance and brutality...
gunnies it claims return to Cameroon after attacks in Nigeria.

The Boko Haram insurgency has claimed thousands of lives in Nigeria since the President assumed power over Africa's most populous nation. The economy of the north has been seriously impacted by the uncontrolled spats of terror and the President has come under increasing pressure to act or resign as his administration loses its remaining credibility within Nigeria and abroad.

This would not however be the first time the President looks for candidates to blame for failures of the administration, both locally and internationally.

It would be recalled that at the beginning of his tenure, with each initial event of Boko Haram terrorism, the President of Nigeria encouraged the blame of 'northern elements.' As time progressed, with the amalgamation of several political parties, forming the merger, APC party, the Presidency blamed all matters including the provision of stable power on the 'opposition.' It can be recalled that during an interview with CNN intearnational anchor, Christian Amanpour, the President claimed Nigerians were celebrating better power and accused Christian Amanpour of being 'with' the 'opposition,' who denied this 'better service.'
