Politicians lack the political will to bring an end of terrorists because the terrorists have God fathers in the high positions so any call that would caused the downfall of the terrorists would be automatically dismissed.
5. Misinformation
In today's war against Boko Haram misinformation is the order of the day that is what the commanders enjoys feeding the public with, that is also what the commander in chief enjoys hearing. No fedaral government official has ever come to hear from victims just because they would say the truth.
