Obama sends American troops to Nigeria over missing school girls.

President Barack Obama has sent American troops to Nigeria over the missing school girls saga after finally convincing President Goodluck Jonathan of the need to do so.

"About 200 girls are still missing. We need to treat this like it happened in the United States", a US advocate says.

President Obama spoke with President Jonathan at about 3pm on Tuesday afternoon through the US Secretary of State Mr John Kerry and agreed to send troops to Nigeria to search and rescue the girls held captive in the wicked camp of Boko Haram.

President Obama said the situation in Nigeria is highly unacceptable and expressed regret that those innocent girls are still in the camp of the Boko Haram within Nigeria's territory for over three weeks and counting.
