"The stack difference is that while world leaders are in complete solidarity and outrage against what happened in France. Truly, that should be surprising because what is happening in Nigeria is real madness, but it is not a priority. The United States can get rid of Boko Haram in Nigeria if it wants. It could be a long-term effort, but it can be done. The US has the capability, it has all the elements and power to do it, but it is just not a priority.
This is the problem, we are committed elsewhere in the world, but black or Western Africa, is not the US priority. That is the case right now and it may be hard to say but Boko Haram is just a mere regional issue. But if it appears in some other regions of the world, like white Africa, which is North Africa, or in the Middle East or somewhere else, we would be alarmed into doing something to stop it. But for now it is a mere regional issue which can wait.” - Major General James Sparks, US Army, retired.
Icheoku says Nigerians now you know why there is no help coming forth from the West towards fighting Boko Haram; because as far as these white people are concerned, Nigerians and black Africans lives as well as black Americans lives, don't matter to these White people.
