Nigeria is a large country with a powerful military (by African standards) and it won't collapse overnight but it is heading that way fast. There's no telling how long the bloated and corrupt government can hold on as Boko Haram (Western Teaching is a Sin), the militant Islamic group and MEND (Movement for Emancipation of the Niger Delta), the Christian equivalent fight each other and the government.
The wild card, of course, is oil. Will the west let the oil supply be interrupted or will they "restore order" like in Libya?

MEND is “Christian Equivalent”? Hardly, it looks like they’re merely saying enough is enough finally...
Good luck to ‘em I say...

I’m glad at least SOMEONE has balls enough to get after the islamofacists.
Seems they can just cut throats, bomb churches, throw acid in ladies’ faces and such - but nobody gets after them?

Well, I pray they are successful, but I do not have much hope in their tactics if they are revealing their plans to the enemy.

A new crusade? As usual, the Muslims are the aggressors.

Looks like the muzzies will be getting a taste of their own medicine. It’s hard to find fault with that!

I got an urgent request today from my Christian friend in Nigeria to pray for her homeland, that may not even exist in the very near future. I did and I hope you will too.

I wonder if it makes sense to split the Moslem north from the Christian south?
