Listening To Him, Borno Governor And His Witch Cries

This is indeed a wise saying: Some people talk out of experience and some, out of experience, do not talk. Maybe, the Federal Government should learn to listen to Alhaji Kashim Shettima, the erstwhile university teacher and wordy Governor of Borno State. The man can pass for a prophet, as everything he has said concerning Boko Haram has turned out to be true, and his predictions about the terrorist Islamic sect equally come to pass always. The accuracy of his predictions would make seers in Nigeria cringe with envy.

Let us recall a few of them. The banker turned politician once stunned the plagued nation, saying to whoever cared to listen, that Boko Haram terrorists were better armed and better motivated than the highly rated Nigerian military. It turned out to be factual that these factors were chiefly responsible for why the military could not take out a ragtag army called Boko Haram.
