taharqa: Many of u Dedicated DONKEYS hv allowed yr HATRED to mk u guys reason like toddlers. This is NORMAL diplomatic talk; that is what was expected of Nigeria and her President- send yr condolences and offer sm assistence, whether you mean it or not. That is exactly what other countries, including those ones currently struggling with terroism themselves did; that is what other countries do when ever such an event happen in Nigeria... Only small minds who hv allowed HATRED to consume their souls wud read other meanings to dis statement

Abel202: olala32: get out u re very very silly i m sure u have d same brain like GEJ... U never secure ur country finish and u wan go help another........and beside ur coun3 is among the terorist list...........norm brain..........

amakenny: Only pray that El Shabab does not hear this joke from Nigeria. They might make you scamper to safety with your Big African Brother stance. Or do you not know why El Shabab attacked and did that despicable thing in Nairobi?

[b]The reason why El shabab attacked Kenya is because the Kenyan government sent troops to fight elshabab in Somalia resulting in a great improvement in the security situation in Somalia since the US abandoned it and that country turned to a terrorists paradise. Due to the Kenya troops presence amongst other African Union/United Nations troops El shabab has been dislodged from most of the cities they held as strongholds and they are on the run. Somalia is breathing a new lease of life due to this Kenyan help as investments and life is returning to Somalia after several years of hellfire.
From the uninformed view point you would say that Kenya just went to Somalia to fetch ant infested firewood and that they are now reaping lizards in Nairobi as a result. But fact is that Kenya knew exactly what they were doing when they entered into Somalia to dislodge Elshabab. They also knew that this kind of attack could happen at one point in time. However the overall benefit of denying elshabab/Alkaida or other terrorists a safe heaven in Somalia far outways the occassional terrorist attacks such as this.
Fact is that the prolonged madness in Somalia pushed a lot of Somalian refugees into Kenya with lots and lots of attendant consequencies which time will not permit me to enumerate (Kenya is not a rich nation to start with).
Fact is also that terrorist attacked the American Embassy in Kenya and Tanzania years before Kenya sent their troops into Somalia.
So the bottom line is that no reasonable nation will sit down and allow terrorists to build a terrorist safe heaven in your backyard. If you do not do anything and face the expected backlash (as Kenya has reasonably done) then you will reap baskets of destruction in unquantifiable and uncontrolable level in future.
Any terrorist heaven is a threat to civilized human beings anywhere in the world. That is why France (in spite of their present economic problems) sent troops to stop the terrorist takeover of Mali. That is the same reason why as Big Brothers of Africa we are, we shall always do what we can to flex our muscles because Africa is our sphere of influence. If not for the mismanagement of the economie and the wantom looting by several past rulers of Nigeria, we would have had the leverage to be flexing even more muscles than we are doing presently. We are not afraid of Boko Haram, El Shabab, Al kaida or any terrorist group. Nigeria is the giant of Africa and that is what we shall remain. I love being a big brother with so many responsibilities.[/b]

Scun: Sometimes I feel our leaders are trolls who deliberately set out to annoy us. He is yet to give any sppech or press release on the 26 who were killed in Abuja last week, nothing on the 142 and counting killed in Borno, but he has time to send condolence message to and pledge support for Kenya. Very annoying
