Please don’t fall for the White House meme that this is the fault of the Nigerian gov’t and let the Broko H. clowns off of the hook.
The government of Nigeria is a mess too. Its just a fact borne out that the Nigerian first lady ordered protesters arrested. (despite not having the official power to do so)
Of course we can blame the Obama administration. The US chose not to put the BokoHoron monsters on the terror group list. When the first calls to intervene came out, Kerry's response was they needed the permission of the Nigerian government. Besides that, we have to wonder if their weapons are coming from all of the stuff we've given rebels in northern Africa, or from Libya's stash that hasn't been secured.
