Does Nigeria know the usefulness of a UN Security council seat?

Can/will Nigeria EVER have a mind of its own to vote against American, British, French interests even when such interests hurt Nigeria?
I sincerely dont see the usefulness of this appointment until we've actually got the balls to speak up and be counted without fear. . .

Adamskuty: wonderful,superb grin strange how ghana isn't even considered for roles like this
do you have pieces of rags stuffed in that thing you call head at all? membership of the UN security council is turn by turn. as the report said, countries like togo have just finished their term on the council and have to make way for others to come. nigeria will finish its own term and other African countries will take their turn.

Yes, Ghana had served on the UN security council many times before and will serve again in the future, God willing, so stop exhibiting your stvpidity on a public forum. I wonder of all the countries in the world/ africa it was only Ghana you mentioned.

chei, what is it with some MUMUs and Ghana sef? I tire ooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

My friend, he is making sense. Any serious student of international politics will know that being elected as a non-permanent member of the security council is mere glorification.
Be informed that previous milestone achieved by Nigeria at the UN makes this pale into insignificance.

be informed too that the world always look forward to Nigeria to tell the African story all the time and Nigeria also uses that sit to harness the gains from 'international economic diplomacy' bet you might find it hard to decode the essence of the aforementioned.

luvable sam: we want a permanent seat on that council not just this how many year tenures we keep getting on the council...When will they ever realize that Nigeria is a power bloc in Africa?

We can never get that permanent seat o as far as we're concerned ,at a time when corruption is endemic in the country ,it would be so easy for Naija to veto anything once the boys have been settled ,imagine ouR politicians who are easily bribed by indigenous businessmen will fall more easily to foreign ones whenever they need their votes

Mr Presido,I'm oFfering you $50,000,000 dollars to veto millitary action against ____,and when asked why he did that,they wiLl tell the international media that they are bad eggs

I don't know you but from the way you think if you are still in primary or junior secondary school I can pardon you. But if you are in a tertiary institution or a graduate, I think your school should bow her head in shame for their admission given to you is/was a waste. Pls, always think before you type and contribute with insight to discourse such as this.
I didn't intend to comment on this thread initially, it was because of your comments I did

You are misinterpreting your misconceptions here
1. Even if you are the only country contesting, you MUST get two-thirds of the total votes, to be elected. So whether Zambia withdrew or not, its nt d major concern.
2. How can you say the president of a nation has no hand in her election to UN security council? Sounds so funny indeed!
Who will declare the country's interest in the UN general assembly and canvass for votes? Probably 'YOU' ,not the president!!

Aigipan: this isnt the first time Nigeria would get that position so what the heck?


This is d 1st time Nigeria wud be getting it almost back to back. It has NEVER happened.

Nigeria isn't supposed to get there again afta serving out her term in early 2012; it is suppossed to hv gone to another WA nation, esp a Anglophone one. YET, d whole of ECOWAS endorsed Nigeria. The whole of AFRICA (AU) endorsed Nigeria. Gambia, who had a better claim to d seat cos it it was not supposed to go to Nigeria this soon, had to step down cos of Nigeria's focused Diplomatic offensive. All d 5 Permanent membas of d Council as well as leading nations in d world endorsed Nigeria. And now Nigeria got d 2nd highest vote in a secret ballot at d General Assembly, way above d required 2/3.

And let me give you another perspective: this is d 5th time Nigeria wud be elected to d UN Security Council, 2 of which wud be mostly unda one President whilst other Presidents had the other 3 times.

Go figure....

Oh! Sorry. I forgot to add d most important point: there is deep STRATEGIC reason Nigeria sought for this seat again this soon, and there is a reason all of Africa wanted Nigeria there again in spite of d usual turn-by-turn tin. It is a well coordinated move by d nation; your nation, and you shld be proud...

They were convinced by Lie Mohamed of APC that GEJ was drunk to stupor cos NGF election when he was busy canvansing for votes on the sidelines. Even after Abati told us the truth, they refuse to believe him rather it was easier believe Lies Mohammed.

Kudos must go to GEJ for this. We all saw when he rightly spoke at the UN summit that Nigeria deserves a seat in the security council.

I know anti GEJ haters will want to take this away from him but they won't succeed. Waiting patiently for what APC bigots Liar Mohammed Tinubu will say. They never see any good thing from this administration.

permanent seat? I don't think Nigeria is ready for that, for you to have a permanent seat, you must be ready to fight terrorist by all means necessary, all the countries that have permanent seat have spend huge amount of money to upgrade their military force, Nigeria is known for offering amnesty to terrorists and rebellious groups.
