Obama's 5 Disgraceful Legacies For Africa-first Black President Of Us by 9jasite: 12:40am On Jan 14, 2017 |
Many life long Black Republicans had to suspend that status in 2008 to support a fellow Black man, President Obama out of purely primordial reasons (he is Black as I am) but to be honest, what has Africa and Nigeria gained from eight years of Obama in the White House? He never visited Nigeria. He never packaged any special economic package for Nigeria or Africa. Say whatever you want to say about former President George W Bush but no other US President has been as radical in his support to Africa as Bush number 43! For giving more than $5 billion in humanitarian aid to Africa annually, President Bush goes on record as having given more assistance to Sub Saharan Africa than any other president including President Obama! AIDS and Malaria are some of our biggest challenges in Africa and Bush met us at the point of our need. Before President George W Bush intervened in the fight against HIV/AIDS, only 100,000 Africans were on anti retrovirals but in 2003 he set up the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) and by the time he left office in 2009 that number had grown to 2 million. When Congress resisted his efforts for funding to the time of $1.2 billion to fight malaria in Africa in 2007 Bush persuaded them by saying "There's no reason for little babies to be dying of mosquito bites around the world." Now I ask you, what similar effort have President Obama and Hillary put forward while they had power? Yes Obama has held summits like the first US/Africa Leaders Summit and the US Africa Business Summit but do we eat summits? What came of it other than talk and mostly Obama talking down at African leaders in a way he would never do with Asian leaders. At least with Trump we know that he will take on ISIS and other radical Islamic groups and that includes Boko Haram!- Reno Omokiri In total Obama's legacy can be summed up as follows 1. Destruction of Africa's jewel- Libya. His NATO led strikes against Gaddafi cannot be easily forgoten. Libya is now in ruins, its people are now refugees. Thanks Obama.. 2. He refused to sell weapons to Nigeria and created an embargo on their allies selling weapons to Nigeria. Boko Haram flames were not enough to make him change his mind. Not bad Obama. 3. He elected to intervene in Libya and Syria but kept mute in the conflicts of Congo. 4. He halted imports of oil from Nigeria while increasing oil imports from Qatar. All these occurred despite Nigeria's intense lobby in Washington. 5. He foisted actively through every means possible a recession bearing candidate on Nigeria. Through lending of his campaign advisor and a timely speech warning Nigeria's former Government. In all thanks Obama, YOU WONT BE MISSED WRITTEN BY OREVA-OGHENNE EJIRO [NIGER DELTA'S FINEST INTELLECTUAL 0811-984-7797] http://9ja.site/2017/01/13/obamas-disgraceful-legacy-for-africa-first-black-president-of-us/ 6 Likes 1 Share

Chicago ruined by murders. African American High School drop-out rate at 20 year high. American particularly black home ownership at 36 year low. American particularly black labor non participation rate at all high. 11 million more Americans (poverty rate) on food stamp. Obama's legacy will be in the work he did for GAYS LESBIANS TRAN-GENDERS QUEERS (same sex marriage) and Muslims (aka Terrorists). 8 Likes |

When will African countries and we the citizens become 'responsible'? So, Nigerians are wailing? Obama should have emptied the treasury of US into ours for our shameless politicians to get more money they would bury. We have natural and mental/intellectual resources, if we can't harness it, then leave Obama alone. Without the embargo, did Dansuki buy any weapon? Yeye de smell 1 Like |

9jasite: With or without Obama civil unrest would ensue in Libya and Egypt. Democracy is attractive on the outside and those that are not practising it wanted to be part of it. The unrest swept through almost all the north African countries. Egypt, Tunisia, Libya, Mali, Somalia and so on. The reign of Gadafi crumbling at the time. |

9jasite: If Obama is "Black", please take Africa out of such ridiculous and callous equation. No human being is either Black or White. Only a person of inferior mentality indulges humans in color chart. Color is not human. |

Obama was elected the President of America , not the President of Africa. America is not Nigeria, where they play ethnic politics. Where your thieving brother is a saint because he's from your ethnic group or practice the same religion. Every decision is thoroughly debated devoid of unnecessary sentiments but based on existing law. America gave the condition for supplying arms to Nigeria, I think under the Senator Leahy law. Their condition was that the human rights of persons in the north east should be respected. And they showed with evidence that the government refused to do anything about it. Do you know the number of ' collateral damage' the boko haram fight has caused? Not saying, Obama couldn't have done better for Africa, but he also had his baggage of being black. If he had been too involved in Africa ,people like Donald Trump who never even believed he was American in the first place would have roasted him. |

We elected Mr. Obama as President of the United States. And he did a fantastic job. Look to your elected officials in Nigeria to help lift Nigeria up instead of them stealing and looting. |

Paulpaulpaul:my brother!!!! The thing just tire me!!!! I couldn't even comment... Africans are just the biggest curse fools in this world; Savage archaic animals that shouldn't be existing; kai... What kind of sense of ownership is this? What stops your own country from working out for her own citizens? The way we reason in this part of the world is really heart wrenching and it is devastatating to know; kai!!! Why nau!!! I feel so emotional and sad seeing all this rubbish... Obama came to Chicago in his farewell Speech to address his home, he never for once mention"us" or "our own". It was always " follow Americans" what he achieved for America; never what he achieved or did for Chicago ; please Africans should stop this greed, wickedness, selfishness and egocentrism , it is only then can we become progressives... |

9jasite:Yeah it is, but obama certainly has nothing to do with it, hence my first comment labelling the author a jonathanian wailer. And then even if obama preferred buhari over gej, it wasnt still obama who campaigned nor voted for buhari. And finally, Nigeria was already heading for the same recession anyway, with or without buhari. |
