A bleak assessment of the possibility of Nigeria swiftly dealing with Boko Haram comes from Dr Raufu Mustapha, from Oxford's Department of International Development.
At a lecture this week he told Nigeria watchers there was little prospect of a settlement with the group.
"How can you negotiate with someone who might kill you for disagreeing with him?" he said.

A bleak future indeed.
