the world community should also come to the aid of this subject particularly nigeria the course nigeria is the leading force within the region in terms of supply of information on training and the provision of intelligence on this and of intelligence i think that's important is key in fighting this so that more so when nigeria is going into election next year so we have a lot of challenges that we cannot. have a series of challenges that we need to look into are you what are your thoughts on what mike just said what are some concrete steps that the government nigeria can take or its allies can take in trying to more a sect of elite combat. like mike said i agree with him absolutely. as many media meanies to the. city hall of the sub region it means to be able to fire them there has to be a kind of combination of forces from nigeria from new jersey probably from china from cameroon all of our region including getting support from the international community but having say that i think one big problem that the nigerian government or nigeria strategy for fighting book boko haram has been i

it tonight across to nigeria jodan has donated two hundred more because. everybody so i think we're making progress but you can still do better. one of the reasons that at least some of the girls have been released has been because of a negotiation but do you believe that negotiation with boko haram has emboldened them to carry out even more kidnappings. absolutely agree the negotiation while i sympathize with the parents of those families of those that have been abducted included people have been abducted i think the kind of negotiation the government has been having with these terrorists has kind of embolden these criminals to carry out more attacks let's put it this way it is me now let's i am fighting with someone and then that person needs weapons or needs to sources to fight and i keep giving that person the more you or your sources to fight me how would that fight and that is what is happening and i think it's time the government negotiates with these criminals what happens to be wars than what happened previously we know after the girls were releas

first shot with nigeria was a tough break. twenty fourteen i was supposed to be in the squad already but when i got the first call up against mexico i got subbed in and broke my foot after twenty minutes this way midst of the world cup and the twenty four team so now it's even more special because i'm turning thirty next year and some of. cups opponents come down to the look of the draw. going to be on the biggest stage of the sport you talk about going up against the biggest stars one being a player for argentina you might have heard leo messi. years my dear as a super he was we deserve this chance could have been different teams playing against us and all roup but it's i didn't tina again we just beat them without messi. some people say you might have been scared. i don't know i'm just making fun but nigeria's shown that we i think we were first team qualified in africa so we proved all great quality especially as a team the team spirit is very high. and i hope that we will or that we can bring this on stage in russia next y

festus is with us from lagos nigeria first is when you try to do journalism in nigeria on the continent it's really really tough what do you want someone as experienced as an ass about the way he works. good relieve me from leaguers and your. my space with the fourth amendment and as with last conference in about an engineer . on my space i believe we walked. right is going to. explain both in. the contrast. is kind of generally. because. even at the end of the we end up. not unhappily just and nobody takes it from there just. that. we don't see such an injury. nobody caused. i think this kind of. spread disease should be also entrenching. african countries. with us tonight. journeys in this. just buffy unique. country. festus i do thing that happens is least i recall the five story i did when i was investigating i did a story called sole job and two hundred sixty people where i stand i was in a brothel and i had got evidence for three months the police did a big bass two hundred and sixty people where i stand and i went home that night very happy only to get up the next morning and all
