Watch Pres. Obama says Nigeria’s government hasn’t been ‘effective’ against terrorists

US President Barack Obama has said that the Nigerian Government has not been effective against Boko Haram. Obama stated this while being interviewed by popular YouTube sensations, Bethany Mota, GloZell, and Hank Green.
 
19-year-old Mota asked the President what more the U.S. could be doing to help prevent more death and destruction in Nigeria at the terrorist group’s hands and he replied saying:
 
“What we've tried to do is to help the Nigerian government deal with the problem.”
“The Nigerian government has not been as effective as it needs to be in not only finding the girls, but also stopping this extremist organization from operating inside their territory,” Obama added.
