Unfortunately and shamefully so, APC appears to be finished "home and abroad". My condolences to the poor maggot supporter of APC family. 36 Likes |

Not a fan of the APC but still the same rehashed accusations with little adduced evidence to back it up, I still believe Boko Haram is more religious than political, Shekau doesn't care whether you're PDP or APC, as long as you don't practice his own version of Islam, to him, you're an enemy. BH should be treated as the pure criminals they are and crushed. 20 Likes |

Interesting, especially as its coming from Nekrassov! His article shows in-depth knowledge of the rumbles in the Nigerian system unlike those western analysts whose perceptions of Nigeria are at best figment of their distorted imaginations of Nigeria. 10 Likes |

I read the article and the title is misleading. They were only repeating the accusations that the President and PDP had made. It wasn't like Russia found evidence or such to link APC to Boko Haram unlike what the Title is insinuating. 11 Likes |

The basic thinking behind this is that Washington looks at the whole world as its backyard and pursues its agendas with remarkable determination and ruthlessness, especially when it comes to its economic and financial interests, including energy supply. As in, how this or that country is positioned strategically, whether it has substantial oil and gas and other resources, has important pipelines running through it or lies along major sea routes.Hmmm...I am expecting new Snowden leaks about Nigeria. Russian and the west shouldn't bring their dirty game to Nigeria. Look how they have destroyed Ukraine. The Russians are now trying to involved the most populous black nation in their struggle against the west. BTW the topic is misleading. This is all the Kremlin adviser have to say about APC; And in Nigeria, the next presidential election is going to take place in February 2015, with the opposition having a mountain to climb, considering that the ruling People's Democratic Party (PDP) got a Jonathan may be wary of being seen to play politics, but that boat has already sailed.

cbrass:I also don't get what the Russians are trying to achieve here but I won't be quick to dismiss their influence however little. I think they're being pragmatic politically, truth is as much as I might wish otherwise, its looking increasingly likely like GEJ would retain his seat, the Russians are just aligning with the side likely to win.

emk4lif: Then am also suspecting , Godforbid jonathan refuses to go after his tenure, the Russians will definitely support him or perhaps they are seeing a major conflict coming in Nigeria, and they will want to be on ground ,not because they want to quell it but because they want to fuel it by selling weapons to the highest bidder 5 Likes |

All things considered, Jonathan's regime is still a better option than the coalition of the Muslim extremists that is shaping up now with an aim to win next year's elections. With the option of 2 evils, the lesser evil is chosen. Nigerians beware oooo 2 Likes |

How is it possible for US military and intelligence sources on the ground, both in Iraq and Syria, to have missed the Islamic State group amassing its forces and invading Iraq? It is anyone's guess. But it's a disastrous oversight by any standard. The same applies to Nigeria, with the US and other western nations having woken up to the reality of the Boko Haram threat only when the situation started to spin out of control. All things considered, Jonathan's regime is still a better option than the coalition of the Muslim extremists that is shaping up now with an aim to win next year's elections.

I think jonathan has been handling foreign interventions very well, since he came into office. He has threaded carefully and has never sided with anyone. He has been making trades and going into terms with all willing countries, and IMHO, to our advantage than any other country. 1 Like |

Russia should help nigeria govt with investigation of terrorism since as they claim, they know what is going on. The author of the article made two assumptions, the bh attacks are political and religious, yet he brings no fact rather he relies on logic. I guess the pdp govt has a new ally in russia, a country that armed rebel group to bring down a passenger plane. I remember the chechenya group that carried an attack on russia recently, I guess the group is supported by russian opposition? 6 Likes |
