Leahy Law: Buhari Returns Home Empty-handed by salterswan: 5:12pm On Jul 23, 2015
President Muhammadu Buhari at about 5am on Thursday 23rd of July arrived in Nigeria following his four-day official visit to the United States.

He was accompanied by a 33 man official entourage including his son, Yusuf Buhari.

On Wednesday while delivering a lecture at the United States Institute for Peace, USIP, in Washington DC, U.S.A, Buhari said the United States Leahy Law prohibits the US Department of State and Department of Defense from providing military assistance to foreign military units like Nigeria who allegedly have perpetrated and infringed on human rights with impunity.

“In the face of abduction of innocent school girls from their hostels, indiscriminate bombings of civilians in markets and places of worship, our forces have remained largely impotent because they do not possess the appropriate weapons and technology, which they could have had, had the so-called human rights violations not been an obstacle.
“Unwittingly, and I dare say, unintentionally, the application of the Leahy law amendment by the US government has aided and abetted the Boko Haram terrorist group in the prosecution of its extremist ideology and hate, the indiscriminate killings and maiming of civilians, in raping of women and girls, and in their other heinous crimes.”

The Leahy Law or Leahy Amendment named after its principal sponsor Senator Patrick Leahy of Vermont, criminalizes the use of U.S armories to be used in countries that have perpetrated serious human rights abuses such as Bangladesh, Bolivia, Colombia, Guatemala, Mexico, Nigeria, Turkey, Indonesia, and Pakistan who have all been denied assistance due to the Leahy amendment.

This is freaking hilarious, especially the "Human Rights Violation" part. grin
Whatever that's supposed to mean, it clearly does not include countries like Saudi Arabia who, even with all the open beheadings, the continiously repressive laws and 50-koboko-lashes-per-week programs designed for people who demean their "holy book" USA and Barack Obama still consider them close besties.
It also clearly does not include Egypt which receives a billion from the USA despite overthrowing a democratically elected government and jailing every member of the opposition without trial.

Buhari and his pack of butt-kissers went cap-in-hand to the USA to take selfies with the president. Their praise singers updated us with photos of handshakes and their "making history" as the first Nigerians to be hosted at the Pennsylvania guest house. But Barack Obama didn't even spend an extra second with them before jetting off to Kenya (a country further from the USA in distance than Nigeria is oh!) while the dullarrds remained in America, taking selfies.
Now, dem don take am finish, America still no gree sell them weapons, after spending millions to make the trip.

This is funny because during Jonathan's tenure, the irredeemable liars known as APC members tried to rationalize America's refusal to sell weapons to Nigeria as a sign of the lack of trust in Jonathan "because he was kwarrapt and incamfitent".
How far for una General naa? Is he also kwarrapt and incamfitent, or just a gaad-damned dullaarrd? grin
