this baba go commot our eyes for russia and china! una see wetin una don cause? you voted a puppet! chai! GEJ where are you?

Funny dude, you completely overlook the fact that the US military is probably the most advanced and equipped force on earth today. Entering into a military alliance with them means that to some measure Nigeria will gain from its vast knowledge and expertise in this area. Do you want us to wait till a rogue country with North Korea-like ambitions crops up in our region before we start scrambling for alliances? Is the multi faceted threat of religious fundamentalism not a sufficient reason to want to have them by our sides.

Your argument would have had some merit if Nigeria had a considerable expertise in weapons and arms development but alas we don't have that. Even countries like South Africa and Australia that are geographically far from immediate threats still enter into alliances, (and they have a developed arms industry than ours) how much more do we need such alliances?

The trick is to forge alliances where our interests are secured.

Though some level of truth can be found in your argument especially for a nation that wants to remain a beggar nation and the West's junkyard and finally a Government of puppets ,anything apart from these things I just mentioned is a tall dream my friend ,the US will never give you any technology,they will give you worthless aids to nibble on while they control your leadership to make policies that would surrender your sovereignty like our ancient African kings did under the continuous bombardments of their cities with canon balls .......Go figure ..smh
Go read up your history books and stop watching CNN all day.

Keep watching with your hate-filled eyes. The rest of us Patriots will look to Buhari for good governance.... Which encompasses a whole lot of things. Including security, power, respect for human rights, a strong anti-corruption campaign and a restoration of Nigerian pride.

If Buhari does not deliver, we vote out APC in 2019.

hotmas911:
provide me with a list of countries that have looked east and are better off for it and I will also give you list of countries that looked west. Even China had to look west.

TheOtherview:


What do you know about research?
Ever taken the time to study Russia's encroachment into the Baltics? Ethiopia under Mengistu?
I bet you have absolutely no inkling of the annexation of Finland, Kaliningrad, and lands across other frontiers, by the USSR.
Empire building of any sort is akin to a handshake that goes beyond the elbow, get it?

@texazzpete is absolutely right - you dine with all of them with a long spoon, if you've got any sense at all.

Guy, relax...He is telling you what he has in plans to do when he takes over. At least, jona has to leave there first before he can do anything. I tire for una o...ahn ahn...

Youpele52:

Nope, it's the other way round. The west is looking towards china that's why most American products from phones, electronics etc are actually made in China but designed in US. Do you know how many times Obama has visited china? It's far more the number times Chinese president has visited the US.

The only people who "bullied and blacmailed"Uncle Joe were the people with their PVC.Enough of the false theory.

doctokwus:

Is it the Russia of Putin of state sponsored assassinations of own citizens,widespread state corruption,mischief,limited freedom of information and perpetuation of one man in power,or another one?
People like you are really unbelievable by your naivety.

BraniacX:


The way some of you run your foul mouth sometimes is worse than repugnant, so GEJ never knew how to stir the nation abi? Have you asked yourself what the fine details or conditions of this agreement were that made GEJ to rather go without it? Of course not, as far as you're concerned Uncle Sam is right( especially as they never have hidden agendas, well according to you anyway ) and GEJ is clueless because you don't like him, well am not just sorry for you, am sorry for Nigeria now that GEJ is going, he tried to prove a point that Nigeria is too big to be anybody's stooge or puppet and cultivated rival alliances with russia and china as a balancing act, before entering buhari is selling us on a platter of gold back to Uncle Sam, who will he turn to then when Uncle Sam decides he has outlived his usefulness?

My suggestion to you is that next time you buy or pay for a good or service or a good or service is being marketed to you and you hear "terms and conditions apply", please settle down and read the terms and conditions first just like the so called clueless GEJ did, or you'll be in for a surprise in the not too distant future.
Those terms and conditions which buhari is too busy or too in a hurry to read, are more important than they look.

tit:
Buhari releases another lie!
will he dash them his forty cows before they agree to continue spying in Nigeria?

Bawss1:


I didn't even see your post before I sent in my rejoinder to his post. Nice one. How anyone can say a wicked Russia is better than the US is just completely comical.

Bawss1:


Are you of the view that Nigeria or any nation for that matter can go it alone in this era of globalisation? If that's true then you are gravely mistaken.

ceejayluv:
Besides, didn't a top USA military officer say that boko haram "is not a priority"?.. The cancellation of joint military training with USA didn't occur without cogent reasons.

lolaxavier:


Sincerely, all i see is someone ranting because he is angry, for whatsoever reason, I don't know. I can't see any sense in what all the jargons you have expressed here. Sorry, I cannot help you.

chidekings:
one of the reasons i love Gej.. Nigerian should not be a western puppet,lets look east to russia and china.

gaetano:
ok na, biko dont also forget to.....

1. Stabilize world oil price.
2. Make 1Naira=1dollar

na u promise us o. Cos i'm still watching with my 3D glasses.

olaniyanc:


Stupid boy.You don't insult your country's president!

bjdon:
Now we see why the US was so keen to have Buhari win. GEJ commited the cardinal sin of pivoting to Russia and China. After that there was no way back

texazzpete:


Unlike Clueless Joe, good leaders are able to multi-task. Do not cling to only one deliverable. Expect 5, at a minimum!

Bawss1:


You are giving too much credit to Jonathan, I doubt he noticed any double standards.

Anyway so you think Nigeria, that is not a known arms producer should sit all by itself instead of allying with superpowers that clearly have an edge in military matters? That must be a very naive form of national pride, nations fortify and strengthen themselves by allying with others. Nothing wrong with this as long as each nation enters into alliances where it stands to gain most.

Damn! Seriously are u a lady? Because is very rare to see a lady so bitter like u. Babe/guy, aren't u tired of criticising GMB? Even when u know that he can handle this country very well in terms of corruption, insecurity and other stuffs? This hatred will never do u good, infact it will cause your more harm. This is how people start losing it and before u know it, things get out of hand. No offence ma'am, just feel like talking to a sister that needs help. Cheers!

It is scary that this guys snubbed GEJ from day one and have started romancing GMB even before he is sworn in. Expect a visit from Almighty Obama soon. GEJ was clueless but he refused to bow to the western powers. ApC is about to sell Nigeria for the price of change and power. The like of Tinubu have. Been praised in foreign media as a machievelli. But he is just a CIA puppet doing his job

Its a pity you're one of those Nigerians who couldn't read the writing(s) on the wall, does the name axelrod mean anything to you?
