Hmm, It speaks of diplomatic illiteracy for the President to utter such a statement just to score some political points for a country i cant even locate on the world map. Naija

Eziachi:

This is really funny. So non of you knew why your president made an unbelievable diplomatic blunder over Kosovo?
You may call him an idiot but he has his reason just like the Russians and the Chinese that hasn't recognised Kosovo too with a cold feet.

1. The Chinese cannot, as how will they explain their hold on Tibet? and contantly harrassing and challenging Taiwan's independent.
2. The Russian has ancient tie with Serbia, that is obvious but their main reason is their conscience pricks them about Kosovo whe they are holding Chechnya/Ugeshetia.

So Yar Adua's reasoning fall in the same line, how can he recognise Kosovo, when Kosovo did exactly what Biafrans did and got a war?
So if he recognised Kosovo, how then will he come home and arrest Uwazuruike and MASSOB?
But being an illiterate graduate, he doesn't know that he could have played it safe without exposing the Nigerian double standard.
Go back and read my write up the day Kosovo voted for Independent, I predicted that they will end up being a small bone in the neck for Nigerian diplomacy in future.

Is he dead yet?

the whole thing is kosovo is thought to be one of the main suppliers of weapons and other tactical support to niger delta militants. they have been doing this for a long time in return for black market crude sales and promises of future crude sales when the niger delta militants get their way. this was when they were still plotting their own independence moves.

So Serbia and the Nigerian government are sort of allies against sort of a common enemy.

kosovo:

show how cowardice Nigeria and her leader could be.
it took him how many years not to recognize it.
what a waste!

philip0906:

@kosovo
better warn that fool called yar'adua.If he does not recognise kosovo does kosovo recognise him?

Bialegend:

The only thread/topic almost every nigerian from East, West and South South are talking with one voice. Where are the northerners to air their views so we can compare. I guess all of them will support this dumb diplomatic comment by their own yar'adull.

We all seem to have forgotten how Kosovo, the actual spiritual heartland of the Serbs, was granted indepence, despite pleas from Serbia, and warnings from Russia. Kosovo wasn't granted independence with the blessings of NATO 'cos NATO felt for them. Rather, it was done for strategic reasons. The US will be building it's largest military base (camp bondsteel) there with its aim being the protection of an oil pipeline that crosses through Kosovo. Kosovo's independence is seen as a big blunder on the part of the US and NATO as it was not done with the approval of the UN. This action also lead to increased tension between the US & Russia, and also contributed to the Russian-Georgian war in 2008 which resulted in the loss of lives. So I believe that Yaradua made the right decision.

By the way, in response to posters who believe our foreign policy is being influenced by Russia, think again. Nigeria has a balanced foreign policy, one that originates from the regime of Gen. Murtala Muhammad, and focuses on pan-africanism. Our membership in the Non-aligned movement is the one reason Nigeria isn't a puppet of any of the world powers (east or west).
