Nigerians have expressed doubts about the willingness of the Federal Government to embrace the offer by the U. S. government to help

and identify the sponsors of Boko Haram, which has waged an insurgency war on Nigeria in the last 12 years.Some security experts, former diplomats, and leaders of some socio-cultural/civil society organisations in the country who spoke to The Guardian said embracing the proposal was the best option for the country at this point, but were skeptical about President Muhammadu Buhari’s disposition to the offer.

A former Naval Chief, Rear Admiral Godwill Siempre Ombo, simply said: “These are touchy questions. Who truly wants to end issues in his or her life that will not embrace any support to end such issues?”To a former Director-General of the Nigerian Institute of International Affairs Prof. Bola Akinterinwa, “if the government of Nigeria is serious about the need to bring Boko Haramism to an end, the government should consider it as an opportunity to be taken advantage of.

“The second point is that the Nigerian people have been asking President Buhari to seek international collaboration to end Boko Haram. If the government accepts, he will be doing so in the spirit of public request that Boko Haram cannot be suppressed without international support. So, if they accept the support, it is consistent with the spirit of the public in Nigeria.“Thirdly, the reason we should support U.S.

Yawe said: “For many years now, we have been battling with these security challenges. Our students have been captured; the Nigerian Defence Academy was invaded and many people are still with kidnappers. And our government has not done anything. If the U.S. is offering to render assistance, we should quickly accept it since our government appears to be incapable of identifying those behind insecurity and cannot combat it.“We are in a desperate situation in Nigeria today.

He added: “This underscores the need for collective approach as against leaving the fight for individual countries, many of which lack the wherewithal to confront the menace of terrorism alone.“The time it took America to fight terrorism in Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as the time Somalia has been fighting Al-Shabaab without successes should underscore the need for collective approach against the war against terrorism.

“If Nigeria begins to define things the way they are and with sincerity of purpose, you will see a way out of the security challenges we have. When the citizens are in danger, they run to them for the protection of their lives and property. When on the other hand the government appears to be overwhelmed because unscrupulous elements are in control of instruments of violence, there will be a problem.

Buhari blocked the names in Nigeria,let's see if he can block America. When is Abba kyari going to America to deliver native cloths and caps to United States court's officials

No fear if you hear say Bubu say be sponsor

The FG always points to 'nameless and faceless people' as being responsible for the insecurity in Nigeria. Here's a chance to unveil them, I doubt that this government will accede but I hope they put me to shame for once.

What exactly are they waiting for They should go ahead and release the names, a lot of lives have been lost. Do it quickly please if you are sincere.

Not possible. President Buhari and Biden are same. Brought to power by same source and with same purpose.

Even if they name them, nothing will happen to them, pantamic bomb is one of them and nothing is happening to him …

When they are done moving and mention the names please holla me . Thanks

We will appreciate if they can

There is no need to be nervous this time. Boko Haram is well known to Nigerians. However if US could not pick up and identify Talibans and their sponsors in Afghanistan, How can they do it in corrupt Nigeria?

There is no tension at all . Let US name them! Enough of this silly headlines.

No drum roll needed. Expose the sponsors today.
