America is not happy with Nigeria's cosy economic and diplomatic relations with China.

At the crux of this is Nigeria's refusal to allow for the location of AFRICOM base in the gulf of Guinea (Calabar). AFRICOM has been touted by the US as a quick military intervention base to conflicts in West, central and North Africa as well as to combat piracy, drug trafficking and oil theft on the west African sub region. This is all bullshit of course given that the US through their past antecadants and response to regional conflicts like in Liberia and Sierria Leone don't give a rat's azz about promoting peace in the sub region or African continent at large. If anything, the US can be accused of fomenting anarchy and civil war in the continent just like how they trained, equipped and backed Charles Taylor and Yomie Johnson in Liberia. Their role in Angola and the Congo civil conflicts is well documented since far back in the 60's.

The greatest problem in Washington is not Kim Jong getting Nukes for North Korea (which in my book is "best" Korea ) or stoping the lunatics in ISIS who they created alongside Al Qaeda or is it in anyway ensuring global peace but the greatest fear in washington is checkmating China's economic and bilateral in roads into Africa - the last great economic frontier. This is why AFRICOM is so crucial to American continental policy with Africa.

America wants a more western friendly alliance in Aso Rock that will ensure the setup of AFRICOM and a govt that will not do business with China.

The boko insurgency was a bait and trap method deployed by the US to ensure the FG seek washington's assistance on their own specified terms and conditions. Washington did not foresee this current administration braving it out and damning the consequences to seek alternative military aid from China and Russia.

Washington has and is still maligning this administration with the suspect Chibok abduction which has all the hallmarks of the fake Kony 2012 missing children campaingn which was used by Washington to put pressure on Uganda to allow for US special forces to locate the "missing children" and kill Joeseph Kony. It's getting close to 2 yrs since and up till now Kony still remains as elusive as the Yetti and BigFoot.

The fallout of the Kony 2012 were more Jihadi attacks by Al Shabab in Kenya and North Uganda, a return to conflicts in the newly independent oil rich state of South Sudan which has China as sole buyers of their oil and major direct foreign investmentor. Also, we have for the first time witnessed sectarian conflicts in relatively peaceful Central African Republic . The main root of this conflict is being spearheaded by Islamic insurgency against the central govt and the Christian populace.


For all it's worth America (at least this current administration) in the white house can not and should not be trusted.
