The U.S. is reportedly funneling money into Nigeria, Cameroon, and Chad via USAID contracts to combat Boko Haram. This approach uses government contractors rather than direct military subsidies to ensure the funds are not simply absorbed by local corruption. The presence of "security types" with serious attitudes indicates an increasing reliance on private military contractors in West Africa.

Former President Goodluck Jonathan is alleged to have profited significantly from this secondary market, with estimates suggesting $270 million per tanker load.

The "honeypot theory" suggests that conflicts are sometimes manufactured to draw in and contain radical fighters. President Omar al-Bashir of Sudan is quoted claiming that the CIA and Mossad are behind groups like Boko Haram and ISIS. This strategy is compared to an "ant trap" designed to isolate and eliminate threats in a controlled environment.

Adam Curry theorizes that the Ebola crisis is being used as a "humanitarian" cover for the U.S. military to enter West Africa and secure oil resources in places like Nigeria. He argues this is a strategic move to displace Chinese influence in the region while the local economies are paralyzed by the outbreak.
