Nigerian govternment not been as effective as it needs to be-OBAMA

President Obama was recently interviewed by YouTube stars, Bethany Mota (known for her expertise on beauty products and makeup tips), Hank Green (who video-blogs with his brother, John), and GloZell Green (a comedic performer whose green lipstick is a visual signature and who once ate cereal out of a bathtub). One of the questions he was asked by Bethany Mota, was about the missing Chibok girls and efforts by the US government to rescue them. This was his response:

"As people may or may not know, Boko haram is a radical, violent, terrible extremist organisation in Nigeria. It kidnapped 200 young women and there are in many cases still being held. What we tried to do is to help the Nigerian government deal with the problem. The Nigerian government has not been effective as it needs to be in not only finding the girls but also stopping these extremist organization from operating in their territory. What we have tried to do is to mobilize other countries to try to give the Nigerian government more resources, not just military equipment but also better intelligence. A lot of them to track where these folks are and try to stop them".
