Nigerian Government and ISIS - A tale of two enemies joined by fate

Recently, news broke that an ISIS commander who is known world over got a VISA to Nigeria, and people pointed fingers at Nigerian government. But the Nigerian government was quick to deny of its involvement and asked for the Visa to be probed. Well, that's the normal thing to do. 

Elsewhere in India, two Nigerians whom were headed to join ISIS were arrested. They confessed. The two suspects from Kano, identified as Imran Kabeer and Sani Jamiliu, are currently being detained by the Punjab Police in India. The Nigerian Embassy has requested to see these two suspects, and it is unclear if India will let that happen.

But in truth, Nigeria has suffered a lot from a terrorist organisation that could even be deadlier than ISIS if they had their way into the facilities enjoyed by ISIS - Boko Haram. They have succeeded in destabilizing the North Eastern Nigeria, and the moment Boko Haram declared its allegiance to ISIS, Nigerian government and ISIS became enemies.

Now, Nigeria is trying to get rid of Boko Haram while ISIS tries to strengthen it. In as much as the Nigerian government is trying to get away from ISIS, as far as possible, they find themselves being joined by FATE. This is a tale of two enemies joined by fate.

But whether you like it or not, no one hates ISIS more than the Nigerian government. In fact, as soon as Nigeria gets rid of Boko Haram, it will come for ISIS, if not, ISIS will strengthen Boko Haram again.

It is on record that Boko Haram gets inspiration from ISIS. For example, when ISIS declared an Islamic caliphate from the lands seized from Syria and Iraq, what happened? Boko Haram declared their own.

Boko Haram beheads and shoots videos of those acts, just like ISIS.
