'Boko Haram Members Earn $3,000 Daily But Nigerian Soldiers Get N1,000' | Sahara ReportersMohammed, who is the Head of the Humanitarian Assistance and Rehabilitation arm of the PCNI, lamented that Boko Haram has been hijacked and operates like a cartel. “I will give you an example. The Nigerian military for example, gets N1, 000 per day for being in the North East, at the war front, as an allowance. The same North-East, where if you are a member of Boko Haram you get $3,000 per day as allowance. So it is lucrative. Sometimes, they even give you money upfront. So we must do something about the youth from where they are recruiting.” who is paying them? How do my Yoruba clan say it (t)orio baje This so empty, doesn't take an expert to see the lie in your story.
