President Obama is of the belief that the Nigerian government is ineffective in combating the Boko Haram menace in the country.

He said this in an interview with YouTube stars, Bethany Mota, GloZell Green & Hank Green last  Thursday, Jan 22, 2015 at 5pm at the White House.

When asked to talk about the missing Chibok girls and efforts by the US government to rescue them, the American President said:

“As people may or may not know, Boko Haram is a radical, violent, terrible extremist organization in Nigeria. It kidnapped 200 young women and there are in many cases still being held. What we tried to do is to help the Nigerian government deal with the problem.

“The Nigerian government has not been effective as it needs to be in not only finding the girls but also stopping these extremist organization from operating in their territory. What we have tried to do is to mobilize other countries to try to give the Nigerian government more resources, not just military equipment but also better intelligence. A lot of them to track where these folks are and try to stop them.”
