https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6rJSWbXD2zo Despite the protests against the visit of President Barrack Obama to South Africa by coalition of trade unions and civil society groups in the country, the proposed Town Hall Meeting with youths from African countries went ahead as scheduled. Fielding questions from journalists and young Africans, President Obama blamed the failure of governments on their inability to train the youths in relevant fields. He said “in terms of human capital and young people, I think the greatest investment any country can make, not just an African country, is educating it’s youth and providing them with the skill to compete in a highly technological, advanced world economy”. He further said “countries that do not do that well will not succeed”. He also noted that countries with limited skill will have “problems” in drawing international businesses. “This is a problem in the United State and not just a problem in Africa,” he added.Obama He said the U.S. is willing to collaborate with Nigeria to train teachers and incorporate technology in the education system. “Across board we are having a rethink in education and work force training. And one of the things we want to do is to partner with a country like Nigeria and identify ways that we can provide direct value added, whether it is in helping to train teachers or helping to incorporate technology into the education process” Obama said they have plans to work with all African countries to empower the youths depending on the plan of the countries. “There are some excellent plans that sometimes we are doing country by country depending on the country plan. But this is a scenario where I would like to get input from young people in terms of what they think will work”. Tackling Global Terrorist Cells He praised his government for making a considerable effort in tackling insecurity and curbing terror with the death of Osama Bin Laden but was quick to recognize the existence of Boko Haram in Nigeria. “There is no doubt in the progress we have made in dealing with some extremist groups, for example core Al Qaida and Bin Laden” stressing that “they have been greatly diminished”. He noted that “What is also true is that in some ways the problem has also metastasized, we have more regional terrorist organisations like Boko Haram in Nigeria espousing an extremist ideology, showing no regard for human life”. He admitted that despite not having a transnational capacity like the other organisations “they are doing great harm in Africa and in the Middle East and in South Asia”. Obama blamed the upsurge of terrorist groups on the fact that “countries are not delivering for their people and where there sources of conflict and underlining frustrations that have not been adequately dealt with” To curb such uprisings, Obama said “we have to build institutions a lot of what we talked about in terms of responsiveness, governance and democracy. Those things become defence mechanisms against terrorism, they are the most important defence against terrorism” he said. He however ruled out military solutions in tackling terrorism but advocated that governments “give people opportunity, education and resolve conflicts through regular democratic processes, the less likely they are to take root” He charged the African Union to send peace keeping missions to countries that are likely to have such terrorist cells come up and nip them in the bud before they cause harm, adding that “we can provide advice, training and in some cases equipment”. He said America will like to stand back and sell iPads and planes than remain as a global police, he however warned that America will not “stand by and watch while our embassies are being attacked our people are in vulnerable situations” .

I guess he is talking about bad governance of Yaradau and other past leaders, but certainly not GEJ. Because Boko Haram actually started during Yaradau's regime. But if we may ask is bad governace responsibles for all the terrorist attacks in US? If you noticed, Obama was quick enough was to add that boko haram is a sectarian group, and as such it has to do with people believes not necessary bad governance. 1 Like |

Watched it live and re-watched d video. Obama never said this. He only made reference to Somali and Mali. Boko haram according to him was as a result of extremist trying to fan discord between christians and muslims. This is irresponsible journalism from channels tv. 1 Like |

He is right in some ways when he said that bokoharm was cause by bad government but I cant fully agree with him cause bokoharam has their own ideology which is to islamize Nigeria, which we all know it a'int possible. |

Btw obama meant good governance is a defence mechanism against internal opposition and human right org's critism for dealing with terror. just my thought Pk001: I guess he is talking about bad governance of Yaradau and other past leaders, but certainly not GEJ.

This is one of the reasons the US (West, generally) is doing better. Did anyone pay attention when he said "...all the US would want to do is to sell iPads and Planes..."? That's it! He summarized, from another perspective, why the US keeps leadership while countries like Nigeria are happy to scavenge for the crumbs of oil, government contracts and re-selling old ideas and services without emphasis on innovation, inventiveness and creativity of the people. If the US were, somehow, undistracted with a lot of external nonsense they could be doing even much better! Nigeria is really not so distracted but our leadership has only been pissing away the destiny of the entire country. iPads and aeroplanes indicate invention, creativity, continuous advanced research and development yes with BIIIIIIIIIGGGGGG financial returns! They have much natural resources like oil, he did not even mention it. Tourism opportunities in abundance! Education opportunities in abundance! But their vision is to sell aeroplanes (private jets) and jumbo jets they know it will take eons for countries pissing away their existence to get around to even manufacturing not to mention innovating and improving existing technologies. This is one of the reasons you have a society most people would rather live in, people they would rather stay around rather than the hellish nightmares leaders of countries like Nigeria create and perpetuate in their geographical space. |

Please shut your trap and stop bothering us. Was it not an ordinary man like you that invented ipad? Was it Obama who invented it? Who or what stopped you from doing similar? Bill Gates didn't even attend a university, but I'm sure YOU did, at Nigerian govt/public expense. What have YOU to show for your education? Why don't YOU go in there and invent your own 'ipad'-type gadget and wow the world instead of coming online to type stupi.d anti-Nigerian gibberish? |

If am asked to say, Obama has no moral justification to judge how good or bad governance have faired in Africa. A man who is busy initiating programmed that are not people oriented and playing international politics with African and third world countries. I thought civilized men are not sentimental but Obama is both sentimental and bias towards Africa....Nigeria should better realize that this man hates us and does not have any good plans for us. |

[size=15pt]HE NEVER SAID BOKO HARAM WAS FROM BAD GOVERNMENT, HE SAID IT WAS FROM AN ISLAMIST SECTARIANISM![/size] By the way,we know Boko Haram started way before Pres. GEJ was elected! It had been crushed and dead by Late Pres. Yar'adua until a former-dictator started financing them big time after he lost the 2011 Presidential elections in order to make the country ungovernable for Pres. GEJ. |
