Earlier this week, I joined the BBC World Service to discuss the recent unfortunate attacks in Nigeria. I stressed that Nigeria’s problem is not a lack of intelligence or information on security threats, but rather limited capacity to respond – too few personnel, poor mobility and slow reinforcement times. For Western partners that say they want to help, including the United States, the priority should be to listen to Nigeria about its needs, rather than assuming they know better Nigeria what those needs are.
