were for a specific mission and that's why some people make the mistake and report that wrongly nigerian soldiers a brave and physically capable fight and quite willing to fight so that affected some of the best in the world i fought with them i can i can say that however their leadership has failed him possibly the ship as the chin the right that the logistical capability of the nigerian but at the end they training has been lacking has been lacking going so they had a p.m.c. can come in because the slack very quickly at least all the training standards and doctrine at the same time help them with their. logistical supply and procurement so that the right things of all the things that will method and make a difference teach them how to use that help them to deploy that and then step back and step out of the picture so the pm sees it all is a limit that will be a very effective one. so nigeria continues its struggle with boko haram which is now seemingly split into two factions your former colleagues from meo have put the haraam on the wrong three years ago working for the nigerian gover

and to me one of the key issues yes unemployment more than twenty two percent of nigerians unemployed them exceed more than twenty million names you who cannot find work and there is an astronomical number been exposed and we have to fix unemployment both that the economy and and then show that corruption is really for. so mercy it we saw on that fact card earlier about the opposition member former vice president of a backer he's also an entrepreneur he's a businessman and so worries about the economy do you think that those will be reasons that some may vote for him. i think between the economy. include kerry and put this to issues the major candidates have been putting that agenda forward but more importantly this election is about the first time voters from one thousand nine hundred ninety six new young people are going from young people are going to be voting for the first day and of this number we have about forty three million young people in the in the in the registered. ballots according to the independent national electoral commission and of this number about twenty two milli
