The Nigerian government has been greatly embarrassed by their inability to mount any type of military action to rescue the missing girls. Although Nigeria’s economy is now ranked number one in Africa, it cannot deal with the Muslim north of the country and the terrorist group Boko Haram. But, Nigerian villagers apparently can. Earlier this week, a village got advance warning that Boko Haram was going to raid their village and kidnap girls. The villagers organized and ambushed the terrorists killing more than 70 Boko Haram members and handing over seven captured militants to the police.
