Americans talking as if they love Nigeria. Because GEJ resisted enthronement of homosexuality in our constitution, they're doing everything to undermine his government (including refusal to buy our oil). Buhari won't agree either if he wins. What is wrong in shifting election date which is constitutional? Is Nigeria no longer an independent nation? America should go and...

It's lot different out here, lying down in Nigeria and worshiping the US as gods will perpetually enslave ur mentality. You have no idea how it goes and it will be futile trying to explain stuffs to u. So believe what you believe!

That's the way the guy who comes last believe the guy at the top is an hybrid-a semi god. If Nigeria was that insignificant, why do they bother theirselves with our affairs? Coz they care? Or coz they're big brothers? Ma'am, the US don't give a damn abt you, their interest is on what benefits them and trust me, Nigeria's influence in Africa stands in their way

The guy who comes last is probably a Nigerian who has a sense of entitlement. NOBODY gives you anything, you have to reach out and TAKE it.
Nigeria has influence in africa which is why what happens in Nigeria matters to the sub-region and the world at large.It makes sense for them to ally with you rather than isolate you. Question- If the US stopped commerce with Nigeria, who'd lose more? They already don't need our crude, and last I looked, their economy is growing and creating jobs. How's ours doing?? The US is not the problem, it's wanting to lay the blame at every other person's doorstep asides our own that has gotten us to the mire we're presently in.

Quote from Jega/Inec

But as I mentioned earlier, there are some other variables equally crucial for successful conduct of the 2015 general elections that are outside the control of INEC. One important variable is security for the elections.

While the Commission has a very good working relationship with all security agencies, especially on the platform of the Inter-agency Consultative Committee on Election Security (ICCES) since its inception in 2010, it has become pertinent for it to seriously consider the security advisory presented to it by the Security and Intelligence Services. I would like to reiterate here that INEC is an EMB and not a security agency. It relies on the security services to provide a safe environment for personnel, voters, election observers and election materials to conduct elections wherever it deploys. Where the security services strongly advise otherwise, it would be unconscionable of the Commission to deploy personnel and call voters out in such a situation.



^^^^
Considerig the above statement, I think maybe some Nigerians here feel their right to vote is more valuable than those registered voters in the NE

With the bolded, and the FG responsibility to all Nigerians, how can they proceed?

Even European observers have refused to go to NE to observe, so its obvious it is not safe for voters to actually vote.

Nigerians should stop only thinking of themselves and for once be their brothers keeper.

Please tell me, how a different election date will stop you voting for Buhari?

They can be disappointed, It's not our concern. The security agencies have already spoken, Do you want the elections to hold without adequate security?...Besides, millions of eligible voters could be disenfranchised. They will condemn, As If they will help us when the trouble start brewing.

So your disappointment maybe a blessing to us.
But your dream is to go to US! Bloody hypocrite. Why calling for their help to fight BH. Why collecting a warship gift from them?

If not for anything, I love Goodluck J. for not allowing the US dictate what we do.. He gives them tough time. ... Even when they threatened him regarding homosexuality, he went ahead to sign the bill on 14 years imprisonment. ..

US should give us some space please, we can handle our problems ourselves. .. Do we dictate what they do over there in the US? So why won't they let us be?? undecided

Why can't USA mind dere business. What has our election postponement got to do with them? Obama has turned his back on GEJ since he refused to put into law same sex marriage and dats why he also refused to help during Ebola which GEJ overcame by God's grace and also this boko haram issue which is been tackled now.
Anyway, no matter what, he won't achieve his Mission and GEJ till 2019

We've more to gain from America being neutral to us than showing interest one way or another in our affairs. Imaging if the US government does not in future prevent their business people from investing in Nigeria the way American business people are not prevented in investing in Russia, even in the current political impasse , as exemplified by the RT report on Texans assisting a Russian businessman with the importation of steers and the rearing and beef production thereof, we'd be content with that. As it stands, "American love and concern" for our human rights is facilitating the deaths of our women, men and children in the North East. American media "tough love" is humiliating if not undermining the work of our soldiers as they carry the fight to Bokoharam. Encouraging Nigeria to proceed with the election under the current timetable, out of concern for our democracy, will only lead at best to dissatisfaction with the outcome of the election among the electorate, providing ammunition for those that want to cause trouble and destabilization, claiming that insecurity in swathes of North resulted in wholesale disenfranchisement.

America and Nigeria election. Why would a country be telling another one what to do. Are we still America African slaves left over in Nigeria? I appeal to both pdp and apc and any other parties to put your differences apart and tell America that they should please live us alone. All the troubles they are causing around the world they should go and mind that. Whoever that wins the election, we will all remain Nigerians after the election. They have predicted that we will dismember, though they deny it. They really don't like us. They stop buying our oil, they want to starve us of funds. They want us to be I pains and clip our wings of a regional power. Please don't take politics too far and beyond the love of Nigeria, pls ignore America and let us build our country. It is a national shame if a country will be warning another. Can we have a say in the affairs of American government, it is shocking to see the manner Kerry came in and talk to our president and the aspirant. We should never have allowed that. We are a national, an INDEPENDENTMNIGERIA

It's amazing that people on here are saying that the US should mind their business because they refused to sell Nigeria weapons. Why should they sell us sophisticated technology when Boko Haram has raided our armory and stolen our own weaponry. We have no track record of securing our own personnel and equipment yet America should give us the benefit of the doubt? That is truly insane.
