Approx 234 girls kidnapped by Nigerian group Boko Haram

I will alert the Church communities of the Nigerian diaspora to my best ability
the power of black prayerful communities cannot be ignored

parker, did you write this comment below the article? it seems incredibly accurate
Well, the oil comes from Southern Nigeria, where as Boko Haram and their supporters are Northern. Most of the economy is sustained by the South, and apparently the (Southern) president has very little real influence in the Muslim North. Though an outside intervention might very well end up starting a repeat of the Biafran civil war.

This is a muslim group. There main interest is to have the girls as sex slave. American press will not cover because they are muslims, and don't want to offend Islam. Particularly president Obama - he is very sensitive not to insult the muslim practices.

That's is what's really sad about this is that no one is reporting it. If this was a group of American blonde girls we'd be sending Seal Team 6 over and shit.
US always wants to seem like they want to help the world but when it comes to tragedies like this and others in poor 3rd world countries that have nothing to offer us (oil or political influence / partnership) then we could give a fuck. If enough of a stink it raised we'll call up our NATO buddies and everyone will send a small group down to pacify the situation and hope it fades into the dark..
Can you imagine being the parent of one of these girls knowing besides cooking and laundry she will be forced to be a sex slave and may even be sold off for $12 USD. Damn that's fucked.

That`s some terrible shit.

We do get some of our oil from Nigeria. So maybe that and this movement may help.
The Nigerian government just needs to crush Boko Haram. Before they kidnapped these girls, they killed 59 boys.
-
bomb africa and colonize it with the free world.
-
This should remind us that Muslims consider christians property like cattle
-
These are the kind of people that deserves asylum in the first world. Instead we're giving it to people like this e kidnappers.

Yes we do get oil but not as much as we used to. If they (Nigerians) started to attack and light oil fires that dramatically affected the export then I guess that would get our attention but nothing they've done so far has including all the killings. Why though? What makes them so different than Iraq for example?

All muslims who choose not to assimilate and insist the west adopt their backwards ways should relocate to an Islamic country. They will kill each other off.

Half the world cries, "Save us U.S." and half the world screams, "Mind Your Own Business U.S."
So why should we play world policeman because Procol Harum is breaking the law in some shithole 3rd world country?

"Sophisticated" Euros are like the rich kids in school who get the bruiser to be their "heavy" or "enforcer" (Americans) but make fun of them behind their backs.

The leader of the Islamic group said that he is going to sell the girls.
The leader Nigeria has been in contact w/President Obama
It will be a huge deal if Obama can use troops to locate and rescue the girls.
-
whats the point all of them have probably been raped over and over already.

If people from Nigeria are called Nigerians, what are people from the African country of guy called?

The kidnapper leader states in a video that Allah commands him to enslave the girls and sell them.
This Islam bullshit continues to get out of hand for the non-Muslim world not used to such barbarism and fanaticism. And sheer lunacy.
Fuck Islam. Fuck Mohammed. Fuck Allah. Fuck 'em all.
If you're down with being all tolerant and accepting and PC in this matter, you're a part of the problem.

Glad Russia stepped in and blocked the maniacs in Washington, you're absulutly right, I agree. I hope they continue to keep the globalists in check. Everyone benefits from a lot of the shit we do though, the oil we keep secure and flowing, etc...

wtf are you talking about? Canadians do what the US say and do your dirty work and get nothing in return. They are loyal to the US, they go every where for the US and the US returns nothing but ignorance and always dictates policy.
I remember when the US killed Canadian soldiers by accident and basically said ''oh well'' fuck if it was the other way around the US would be whining like little bitches

I read an article about Finland the other day, sounds like they have their act together. Like Scandinavia without the radical liberalism. Sounds like a really cool place. We really should follow their educational model here in the US.
I'm glad places like Finland, Switzerland, Iceland and Russia are holding out. When the rest of the world goes to hell at least their might be a few countries left to flee to. ;D

They barely covered it, I think it was mentioned on Fox News barely. John McCain (and true adonis) was the biggest cheerleader, he desperately wanted to get in there and fight with his terrorist friends. The media here really went crazy with that footage of the gassed civilians, but I believe we found out later that they were actually killed by the crazy Muslims.

To be fair Canada more than got their own back by refusing to let the US mine the afghan border.

We(the West) should crush these folks and put level headed people in charge, whether they be indigenous or "white" folks, but anyone who kidnaps small children should have their heads put on a fucking stick.

The US really needs to adopt the Chinese policy to Africa - it's a giant warehouse full of massively discounted resources that can be had dirt cheap if you just give the local warlords a shipping crate of AKs and grenades.
all this handwringing is truly pathetic, the average American doesn't know or care (and why should they?) why Boko Haram has got so powerful but Obama certainly does. hashtag Big Oil , Michelle. Don't pretend you don't know what's happening there.
Democrats love them some mass murdering of dark skinned people so long as it's being done 'For Little Girls to Go To School' (remember how that was used as justification for wasting billions in Afghanistan?)

As many Africans have been saying, invest not Aid. Many African nations are emerging markets, and are having a booming tech industry. Also, apparently many companies are moving away from China for cheap labor (even China is moving away) and moving to Africa.
The Chinese way---the cheap AKs (which are rip offs, just like a lot of their stuff) may not work as well, especially when those guns are turned onto Chinese businessmen in African countries.

lol, not a chance.
there is a huge number of resources in the continent, but when those are gone and they will go fast, it becomes useless. African cultures are tribal, corrupt and unable to sustain 1st world democracy without another culture in charge.
If we don't buy up all the resources up the Chinese will.. and those will be all gone in 50 years leaving just a black hole of refugees, AIDS and malaria
China deals direct with dictators, we have to pretend to use 'charity' and 'development' and go through the IMF/World Bank to extort those same resources. This is a much much more expensive process as these institutions steal a large amount of the money we are trying to extort from the countries.
we should take in their smartest workers along with their resources, a Sudanese engineer is worth 10 x more to the US economy in the big picture than a Mexican weed picker, but we'll chose the unskilled, illiterate with no money every time over a high skilled asset

There's nothing to invest in. Each country on the continent (notwithstanding the Arab north) has one major capital city of mixed economic development. The rest are rural shantytowns and farms. The highways are patrolled by armed militias or heavily-armed government soldiers. And at least a few of those states have ongoing attritional wars between guerrillas and unpopular governments elected by dubious ballot-box voting. There's no infrastructure, nationally-owned private sector, or institutes of higher learning or technical training that can benefit the numbers of people who need it. Sadly, the focus has been exclusively on African girls. The future, as always in history, lies with the menfolk. It's their restless lack of options that's the cause of the unrest in the first place.
It's not a place anyone can do anything with but exploit its natural resources. The Dutch and French figured that out centuries ago. Unfortunately the Africans themselves don't get a vote. They're just pawns who don't have the resources or technical know-how to immigrate to better continents or build a middle class in their own state.

From what I was listening to on C-Span radio a few weeks ago, there is plenty to invest.
East Africa has a booming tech industry. Some countries in West Africa could corner the market in salt production. Of course the minerals.
China has invested in Ethiopian factories.
I was watching a vid about diamonds and how Ghana is ranked as one of countries that is hardest to do business in...if they got rid of the corruption and red tape, they might do well.
You also have a lot of Africans who have been educated elsewhere who are coming back and trying to set up businesses and help create better schools and infrastructure.
All is not lost. Just like with Latin America.

Like I said, natural resources. Salt, diamonds, precious metals...raw materials for other markets are all in abundance. That benefits a handful of foreign companies and their corporate hitmen on the ground, supervising slave laborers with black skin who feel lucky to even have a job in those sweaty factories and manufacturing plants.
That's no solution to the continent's problems. It does nothing to resolve the illiteracy, lack of training, PROPER HOUSING and CLEAN WATER, and other essentials that the people there don't have. Swollen bellies and early deaths are still the norm. There needs to be an enormous overhaul from the top before the bottom can start to get a minimal life standard going. And with the economy of the wealthy western countries overheating from the reduced consumer spending & demand in their countries, there's less interest in investing than ever. Sorry man, it's rough right now.

The amount of wealth trapped in Africa's soil is enough to create a new society in every country on the continent south of the Arabs.
Unfortunately, the powers that be line their pockets with the profit margins the foreign companies like Birks allow them to keep. The rest goes into Swiss & Caribbean bank accounts. It's tragic. Do they expect the people there just to stop reproducing and disappear so the nice white men can take all their stuff and not need to worry about giving something back to them? lol
stupid
and Oprah focuses an entire show on opening up a girl's school in Kenya
ya, great contribution and PR

I was watching a vid about diamonds and how Ghana is ranked as one of countries that is hardest to do business in...if they got rid of the corruption and red tape, they might do well.
You also have a lot of Africans who have been educated elsewhere who are coming back and trying to set up businesses and help create better schools and infrastructure.
All is not lost. Just like with Latin America.
nope.
As someone who grew up in Barre's Somalia, the only ways to keep most African countries under control and develop them are not acceptable to the average American. Barre tried to replace tribalism with Socialism (which is in theory a much better fit for Africans than what we have) and the Saudis bankrolled their agricultural program.
And the terrible White Man had to manage those programs because otherwise everything would have been stolen.
Obviously strong-arm dictatorship + central planning + corruption is not a great system but even Oprah can't honestly believe a 21st century western democracy stands a chance in most African countries.
The US didn't exactly help things there.
And it ended with the rebels burning the factory to the ground and executing all the trained, educated Somalis who were trying to help their country. Nowadays in that part of Somalia they are worse off than they were 50 years ago.
there is no happy ending.

Why can't Africans just sit back and let white people put something nice together for them? Something like South Africa and Zimbabwe before Africans took over.

No hope no change for the neegars of ni ger

Alternatively take McCarthur's administration of Japan after World War II. Their country was obliterated and politically bankrupt. It was in similar shape to your average African country.
But to make that happen in Africa, you'd need Japanese living there. Unfortunately, they have to make it work using Africans. That's the challenge. ;)

This is what I don't understand about Kim Jong-un. Why wouldn't he want to open up his country to development and grow it? Wouldn't it only boost his power and resources? ???
I would think being located between China and South Korea alone would be very valuable? He could upgrade the Presidential DC-3 to a modern Boeing Jet.

Their country of origin should rescue them. America, Russia, Great Britain, Israel, Canada, Japan, Australia (they probably don't have any guns) should stay out of this mess.

No. It would undermine the sole purchase he has on the people as the unique fount of knowledge, wisdom, generosity, and power. The cult of personality is stronger than American MSM makes it out to be. A few public military demonstrations doesn't begin to cover it. Everyone's terrified of leaving their house after dark because they could get arrested for spying or sabotage. Everyone snitches on each other and they open a file whenever someone does it; next thing they're yanking you out of bed at 3 a.m. and doing sleep deprivation between beatings and questioning. It's real bad. If he opens it up, his game is over. Same with his dead dad and grandfather. They run a stalinist system, worse than anything anyone can imagine. Horror doesn't begin to describe it. And I got all this from a North Korean who fled to the West.

They could if they wanted to. Their governments are flush with diamond cash from foreign multinationals who buy exploitation rights to mine there.
But why would they? They know the people just want more. If they give them a good standard of living, where does it end? They'd have to empty their coffers just to provide a basic living standard. And when the money ran out, the people would revolt, as they always do when the good times are over. It makes more sense to keep a loyal army that's well fed and surround themselves with monied government officials who are loyal to a fault. The people will survive off the food bins the UN sends there once or twice a month.

Insane, wow... I've seen a documentary or two but it's hard to even imagine that.
From his prospective though, why wouldn't he rather be on the level of someone like the President of South Korea? He must also be mentally ill to some degree.
Same with Saddam Hussain, he would rather die in a "spider hole" than just cut the bullshit. He could have opened Iraq up and emulated Saudi Arabia or something.

I'm sizing up Obama and asking myself as the dictator of a country with total power whether I'd like to be in his place instead.
I'm gonna go with no.

Somalia is a different animal. there are more countries in East Africa than Somalia.
But, as was alluded to, doing business in Africa by American companies is hard, because of human rights liolations, certain dictators..whereas China has no concerns about those things...and believe France doesn't either.

Pretty much.
China is strictly business.
France has a colonial background on the continent, so they can always fall back on their historical mercantilism in the regions they have contracts with.
America has no commercial ties to any country south of Egypt other than mining rights. And they're hamstrung by the political millstone of human rights considerations, since they've always made that their selling point for exporting war to other countries.

That's how Stalin did it. If you ran away from battle, your family would be shot. Worked great!

Ive read that African countries are hesitant or outright hostile to do business with the west because of the history of colonialism and corporate abuse. In their eyes, Chinese money isn't tainted. A very naive perspective if you ask me but somewhat understandable.

why destroy something that works, they dont want to destroy their fine blooming economi with bad western influences, it would be a insult to their culture

China doesn't insist on using the world bank, or food aid, or any of that shit.
The Chinese buy the Mugabes of the continent gold plated bentleys and guns, put millions in their swissbank accounts .. And in exchange china gets the mineral rights for 1% of their actual worth.
They also build factories , roads etc to process the ores etc but these are run by Chinese who don't trust Africans not to fuck up.
