African leaders should start accepting reponsibility and show leadership quality. They are bunch of corrupt and power greedy people. When BH has not been a piority to the leaders of the affected countries while should it be to the US.

Americans are indirectly teaching us...'Do it yourself'! If you beg someone for help and the person does u 'shakara', d best way to get over it is to work hard to earn the persons respect!

In the medieval era, the world powers were the english, french and spanish...EVEN America was a land of slaves then! But what's the case nowundecidedundecided...Only a fool would see the action of America in these case as wickedness!

America CAN'T help everyone @ d same time! They have to go for the strongest alliance...and Naija isn't Amongst them..even in Africa as the Army chief said...

Let's go and package ourselvz well..take China for eg, everyone NOW wants to associate themselves with them..48 laws of power stated that...'Avoid the unlucky and unhappy'..cos they can also infiltrate u with their problems...everyone likes to mingle with a success!

That's why we have to join hands and collectively kick out GEJ come FeBuhari 14...haven't u noticed to his tenure had made Nigeria lost respect amongst d comity of Nations! We Never suffered dis disgrace under OBJ...

GEJ is an irresponsible leader EOD!!! angryangryangry

At least is clear to all those who are still in doubt that US is a friend of Nigeria in Pretence.

Re: Ex US Army Chief Says Nigeria, Boko Haram Not Usa's Priority by easy4beno(m): 7:55am On Jan 20, 2015
Well, I believe this should not be a sudden news or something new to Nigerians..the USA don't feel threatened hearing Boko haram because America is not Nigeria's friend right from time, so in other words, they are either happy or indifferent about the situation, the only favour they grant you comes with their personal interest, and if that interest isn't there, forget it..I would say America is like Satan, you know when you approach satan for a favour, he would gladly give you a well polished and packaged one at that, and trust me he would come back seeking 10 from you and you dare not put him on hold..

Another reason I feel USA may not show interest is because they have not yet seen the zeal and serious commitment to fight BH from Nigeria, as far as they are concerned Nigeria is okay and can manage the killings which can be deduced from the body language mr president sends to the whole world, and who does that if its not GEJ. They say in yoruba omo to ba ma je ashamu..kekere lo ti maa maa jenu samu samu..ok for you guys that decipher that, it means a child that would be very SHARP and proactive in future, it is right from being an infant that he would have been chewing and eating food like he's being chased..you guys needed to watch the way France fought tirelessly with the terrorists the day they were killed, I watched the whole long hours events on CNN live, they soldiers, policemen, swat teams, press crews were on standby after tracing and cramping the terrorists to a point of no escape..all over the world, everyone was watching and they would not let it go till they got to the roots of it, you guys know the eventual conclusion of the whole event, so technically it will be unwise for any president not to associate himself with such high spirited fight and resilience by the brave law enforcers and country as a whole, even our GEJ too also attached himself to the event.

Terrorism like that of BH is not what our president will fold hands at his back and just address as one of those issues and tell us every country in the world is facing same and also have our first lady come on air to shed what I call disgraceful tears..it must be fought ruthlessly and with utmost sincere and aggressive determination, and the whole country should be carried along on live updates and events..that way in no time we will get maximum results and discover better intelligence and also ways and how to improve..if this can be achieved, trust me the whole world would offer help in ways they can, its just about standing alone and letting them know we don't need them, trust me it will be a time for them to have a rethink..and gladly offer to help.

When I said this some people said I was blaming the US for our problems.

It is clear now. It is not a priority and still they sent in drones to surveil northern Nigeria and BH activities?

Keep deceiving yourselves!
The US knows fully well what it is doing.

To some I may sound indifferent, but honestly speaking I like the way things are turning out for Africa.

I strongly believe Africans, Nigeria in particular will develop into wht they call Advanced Countries.

But this won't be possible if they keep spoon feeding and exploiting us as if we can't even think.

You discover your potentials when pushed very hard to the wall as they are doing.

If had given us Zmapp, would it had been possible for us to develop our vaccine and throw out Ebola without their hypocritic intervention? NO.

So rather than frown that a fellow human being says my problems aren't his, which infact shouldn't be. I feel challenged, I look beyond all barriers and strive to contribute to the development and advancement of my country using even the hidden talents I wouldn't hv been able to throw out into reality if I hadn't been challenged.

Nigerians are great, hard working, talented, full of awesome potentials.

That's why we make waves in their countries educationally and otherwise. We just need to look inward more and develop our technology.

We shall someday show them the way.

God bless Nigeria. God bless Africa. God bless the unique black race. One love.
Re: Ex US Army Chief Says Nigeria, Boko Haram Not Usa's Priority by eaglechild: 8:07am On Jan 20, 2015
The US says Boko Haram is not a priority because they do not see Boko Haram as a direct threat to the US homeland.

This further buttresses the suspicion that it started as a local breed of fighters probably groomed by the northern elites to usurp power with full support of Buhari who calls them brothers.

The question is does it have the capabilities to annex with the other terror groups in the middle east if it has not done so already.

The reason is clear. There are lot fewer western companies getting contracts in Nigeria. That is why it hurts even more when local contractors can't do standard jobs because of greed. More over peace in West Africa, the highest supplier of foot soldiers for war is no more important and never will as there are now drones that can do the job even more effectively, so we can kill ourselves and reduce black dominance.
