The office of the National Security Adviser (NSA) yesterday told President Muhammadu Buhari, that no fewer than 22 women and girls, recruited as suicide bombers by the Boko Haram sect and another 47 former sect members were now undergoing rehabilitation after voluntarily embracing a de-radicalization programme of the office under the Countering Violent Extremism (CVE) programme. But Ahmad Salkida with twitter Handle @contactsaldika disputes such claims saying you can only de radicalize people you understand their ideologies and reasons for what they do, and only clerics could achieve such a feat that the NSA seems to be claiming to have achieved Read tweets below.
You can only de radicalize someone if you understand his ideology and if (s)he recognize your authority.

You can only de radicalize a free man and test his resolve if he has changed. A person in captivity has no option but accept your bidding.

Nigeria is beset with perils because leaders have become unteachable. Is this problem rocket science? NO. Even rocket science is known.

Condemnation over attacks in Nigeria is now the unwritten law of politics and in the media but it changes nothing.
