The United States government hates bullying, but if you ask me who the world’s biggest bully is, my answer would be “the US government.”

They are the self-acclaimed world police and judge.
Spreading around their influences and policies, wanted and unwanted, on weaker nations.

Why have the US government refused to sell arms to
Nigeria knowing well about our fight against terrorism.

They claim to be on the same page with us on the war
against terror yet, they (American government) are
making it almost impossible for Nigeria military to
procure arms to combat the extremist Boko Haram sect wreaking havoc in Nigeria’s North-East region.

They backed up their refusal to sell arms to Nigeria on what Pres. Buhari described as “unproven allegations of human rights violations.” (The Leahy law)

In Buhari’s words, I dare to say that the application of the Leahy law amendment by the U. S. Government has aided and abated 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.

Though he has dismissed as off-the-mark, various
interpretations given to his speech, I don’t think he was far from the truth.

But if for instance, the Nigerian Army are guilty of (an
unconfirmed) human right violations, I am pretty sure that the US government must have heard of the term “lesser of two evils principle.”

Just maybe they haven’t; the lesser of two evils principle (or lesser evil principle) is the principle that when faced with selecting from two unpleasant options, the one which is least harmful should be chosen. (Wikipedia)
