The Federal Government of Nigeria has slammed the US government for declaring over 20 states in the country unsafe for its citizens.

Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, who spoke while receiving a delegation from the Association of Tourism Practitioners of Nigeria in Abuja, said every state in the country was safe.

The American government had warned its citizens resident in the country to avoid traveling to states such as Ekiti, Borno, Bauchi, Bayelsa, Delta, Edo, Gombe, Imo, Jigawa, Kaduna, Kano, Katsina, Kebbi, Kogi, Niger, Plateau, Rivers, Sokoto, and Zamfara.


It cited armed robbery, kidnapping and terrorism, among others, as reasons for the advice.

However, Mohammed, who dismissed the US government’s claim, said the advisory published by the U.S. Embassy was untrue and should be discarded.

He urged the media to stop reporting negative things about Nigeria to the outside word.

He said: “We are in Nigeria. How can we believe the claim that 20 states in Nigeria are not safe.That is not correct. There is no state in Nigeria that is not safe today.


“Is there any week they are not killing people in the U.S., by either shooting in schools or driveways or people committing suicide or mass bombing? How many of these stories do their media celebrate?

“If they want to tell their people not to come to Nigeria, it is not for us to help them propagate it,” he said. accessible to them.”

[size=18pt]Why do we have over 50,000 children starving to death in IDP camps?[/size]



One would have expected that the refugess would have returned back to their homes if Boko Haram has been severely depleted as claimed by these liars in govt.

OP..nice thread jaree...

Don't mind these anti-Nigerian oyinbos..

Every state in Nigeria is very well safe..

BORNO and YOBE are even the safest places at that..

I wonder why they would just talk as they know naija pass our HONEST GOV'T, well represented by LAI Mohammed.

[size=18pt]Boko Haram "relocating" from Borno to Bauchi?[/size]


The Nigerian Army claims that Boko Haram have been dislodged from their camps in the NE that they are now "relocating" from their bases in the NE to a forest in Bauchi.

Do they mean "expanding"? because if you look at the map of Nigeria, you will see that any move by Boko Haram from the NE into Bauchi isn't a retreat but an expansion of territory.

During GEJ, Bokos made a retreat to the rugged Cameroonian mountain borders, under the Dullard we are expected to believe that Boko Haram expansion further inland into Nigeria (Bauchi to be precise) is a form of retreat!

This here is why we should ask Buhari to stop lying on what exactly is happening in the war against BokO Haram!

0ubenji:

I hate hypocrites like U, if u can't accept Borno and Yobe being a safe place, then u're a threat to National Unity.
Gerarahiaa

KwaraRat:


Pls kindly lead the way by relocating to the safe Borno.

You are only deceiving yourself with that rubbish above.

And next time get a dictionary at hand before you post rubbish here because it seems you do not understand the meaning of the word hypocrite.

Amitex:
Lai Mohammed or any of his children should test the waters by travelling to any of the states mentioned without military or police protection and share the results with us. If they dare, kidnappers would celebrate Christmas in advance!!!
