If western SF are to operate in Nigeria they must operate autonomously - if they have to work in conjunction with Nigerian forces it will be a complete waste of time and could cost the lives of foreign forces. Nigeria is a country of total corruption and incompetence whose government has the sole purpose of personal enrichment - they do not want to waste time and effort trying to rescue the girls when they could be making more money. I have worked for several years in the country - the only place in a long overseas career where I had armed bodyguards - and found it to be the most unpleasant place by far with a population that would cheat ,lie and steal without compunction.
