“We have vowed and we tell stories, Jonathan, that there is nothing you can do to stop us,” said Shekau.

Take the war to the front ‘ door ‘

Senior lecturer, University of Abuja Abubakar Umar Curry said the President’s remarks and the Boko Haram video has managed the growing tensions in Africa’s most populous country and its largest oil exporter.

Curry said the group must be identified as a terrorist organization international and Nigerian security forces had to get help, such as special training, from other countries.

“Now the clear line has been drawn. They are ready to take the war to the doorstep of the Government, because now they’ve made a frontal attack straight-verbal frontal attacks on the Government. “

Boko Haram has been blamed for the bombing of Easter Sunday claimed dozens of lives, but it does not take the responsibility. Taliban-like that is believed to have killed about 1,000 people since violent operations began in 2009, including the attack on the Church, the United Nations Headquarters, police and other government buildings.

Curry said the video will be managed to scare the people, because they are more likely to believe the Boko Haram threat from a Government guarantee. On Easter Sunday, a Nigerian newspaper quoted Defense Minister says more than 95 percent of local governments have been secured against threats of Boko Haram.

“In the past, the Government has made similar statements.  Like, in the Boko Haram Anu day menace will be the order of the day. But these guys have just stepped up their attacks. The people of Boko Haram has shown better capacity to act of the Government. “

“I think that it is a mind game that happened, very disastrous one, it is the type of game mind you find in football time.”

Boko Haram Amuwo also said Nigeria’s presence in the misunderstood by criticism from abroad that said Nigeria needed to develop the poor, mostly Muslim North to reduce the threat. Amuwo said if violence is only a by-product of poverty, terrorist attacks would be country-wide.

“You don’t expect the Nigerian Government to eradicate terrorist groups in recent months. And they can’t do it themselves. United States and the European Union has not been able to deal with al-Qaeda. “

In addition to the cost of living, Boko Haram attacks have also many local economic stagnation and make travel more dangerous and time consuming. Curry said the checkpoints the military can double time on the road, and innocent people have been shot by security officers nervously under threat of constant attacks.
