John Kerry REVEALS How Nigeria Can Conquer Boko Haram

United States Secretary of State, Mr. John Kerry on Tuesday affirmed that the use of force alone cannot end Boko Haram insurgents.

Rather, he said the Federal Government should seek reasons Boko Haram terrorists are attacking NIgerians.

During a visit to Nigeria, the American top diplomat condemned insurgency, stating that ‘Boko Haram boasts of no agenda more than to burn schools and places of worships. They also kill and maim people, especially teachers, and it is the opposite of religion.’

Mr Kerry commended President Muhammadu Buhari over his war against corruption and government’s efforts in recovering loots.

He said corruption costs the world a whopping $2.6 trillion yearly. The money, he noted, was enough to provide decent livelihood for the people.

“This is money that can be used to improve the living standard and provide decent livelihoods for them. Corruption is not only a crime, but very dangerous and it must be tamed,” he said.

Commending President Buhari for his efforts in fighting corruption, Kerry noted that corrupt officials, anywhere in the world, were crooks.


He said Buhari understood the danger of corruption and that Nigeria was already a regional leader in the fight against corruption.

”Nigeria is also a role model in the ongoing global efforts to fight corruption,” he stated, and acknowledged measures being applied by Buhari to entrench morality, transparency, honesty and good governance in the country.

Mr. Kerry lauded the Federal Government for recovering loots, stressing that there was the need for all government institutions, including military, other security agencies and the judiciary, to support the anti-corruption campaign.

“U.S. is also fully committed to fighting corruption and the entrenchment of good governance globally.

“One of Nigeria’s strengths is diversity of culture and religious tolerance. The former leaders of the defunct Sokoto caliphate and others like the late Sir Ahmadu Bello had stood by the virtues of peace, unity and tolerance,” he said.
