The BBC World Services Thomas Fessy has a long eport, with film footage and charts on recent events @ Baga. He recently visited refugee camps across the border (Lake Chad) in Chad.

I missed spotting this, although I am not sure it is a good omen - as the Russian approach to COIN is hardly gentle and has no WHAM (not that the Nigerian state appears to be be gentle or use WHAM):

More than 1,200 Nigerian security personnel are in Russia receiving anti-insurgent training by Russian special forces. The trainees on return will form a nucleus of the special forces brigade to in particular combat the Boko Haram terrorist group.

I do recall Nigeria sent some personnel to North Korea for training too, awhile ago now.
