United States To Open Consulate In Kano by auwal87(m): 8:50pm On Mar 05, 2012 |
U.S. Under-Secretary for Political Affairs, Amb. Wendy Sherman, says the US will open a consulate in Kano to further strengthen bilateral relations with Nigeria. Sherman announced this on Monday in an interview with newsmen after a brief meeting in Abuja with the Minister of State, Foreign Affairs, Prof. Voila Onwulere. ``I am absolutely delighted to be here in Nigeria; the real focus of our deliberation is on the strength of our bilateral relations, as the U.S. and Nigeria are partners on Bi-National Commission (BNC). ``The Minister and I have discussed what we will do to ensure security, peace and democracy in Africa,’’ she said. The embassy has an office in Lagos and also operates American Corner, a nationwide information service centre. Sherman said the additional consulate which would be opened in partnership with Nigeria, would further buttress the strength of bilateral relations between both nations. According to her, the U.S. will continue to assist Nigeria to deal with its security challenges and support Nigeria in any way possible to deal with any threat. In her remark, Onwulere said the regular visits of top U.S. officials to the country in recent times were evidences of the cordial relations both nations enjoyed. ``There hasn’t been a time that our bilateral relations are stronger than this; it takes countries with similar ideas to come together for a common cause. ``This visit underscores the strength of those relations, and we also exchanged messages from our presidents. ``We talked about key position of Jonathan’s Transformation Agenda, so these visits signal greater things to come not just in Nigeria but globally,’’ Onwulere said. The BNC was established in 2010 to among other things promote good governance, regional security and tackle corruption. Source |

Re: United States To Open Consulate In Kano by Okijajuju1(m): 9:30am On Mar 06, 2012 |
I would have thought that they would open one in Eastern Nigeria instead?! Afterall, Igbos travel to obodo Oyibo more than any other tribe in Nigeria!! |
Re: United States To Open Consulate In Kano by GoldCircle: 9:33am On Mar 06, 2012 |
saw this on the tv last nite and i shook my head! i just think the timing is wrong! Or do they want just the same treatment as their consulates (and military bases) are facing in the middle east? |
Re: United States To Open Consulate In Kano by chuks49(m): 9:56am On Mar 06, 2012 |
Good development, i pray they set up Bagram Style Prison in Kano for BH boiz. |
Re: United States To Open Consulate In Kano by freshcvv(m): 10:01am On Mar 06, 2012 |
Simple LOGIC, they are preparing for the 2015 break up which is likely going to make Kano the capital of the new northern Nigeria. Wake up guys, CIA script for the 2015 dis-integration is working pretty well. |
Re: United States To Open Consulate In Kano by Lasinoh: 10:03am On Mar 06, 2012 |
This is good news. It shows the US will rather deal with the Northern parts of Nigeria than venture into the South. Kudos USA. |

Re: United States To Open Consulate In Kano by Nobody: 10:14am On Mar 06, 2012 |
American consulate in kano is a military base in disguise since boko rams have links with alquaeda. |

Re: United States To Open Consulate In Kano by nagoma(m): 10:30am On Mar 06, 2012 |
Would you ever imagine the US opening a consular office In Aba or in Onitsha? Some will die for America , will kill themselves in desperation to go to America but America is desperately trying to gain the affection of the ones who don't care about America . That's life. |
Re: United States To Open Consulate In Kano by ektbear: 10:36am On Mar 06, 2012 |
nagoma: lmao "gain the affection"? If your thinking is typical of Northern elites, ya'll are fvcked. The consulate in this particular case is to assist the Nigerian FG to control a situation that appears to be spiraling out of hand. They bear you no particular love. . . just don't want the cart (Nigeria) to be upset and knocked over. Comparable to the British colonialists opening an outpost somewhere. . . |
Re: United States To Open Consulate In Kano by ektbear: 10:42am On Mar 06, 2012 |
It is like someone fitting a bridle for a horse he wants to break, and the horse thinking that the bridle is a sign of affection rather than control lmao |

Re: United States To Open Consulate In Kano by SamMilla1(m): 10:51am On Mar 06, 2012 |
Yea they made a similar announcement in north east pakistan only to build drone conttrol center. Its a welcomed development anyway. I am sure jonathan already knows what they want to build. |
Re: United States To Open Consulate In Kano by nagoma(m): 10:58am On Mar 06, 2012 |
@ekt bear It is like someone fitting a bridle for a horse he wants to break, and the horse thinking that the bridle is a sign of affection rather than control And what do you know about horses? If you had horses in the rain forest you would just eat them and make gbomo with their skin. |
Re: United States To Open Consulate In Kano by ektbear: 11:05am On Mar 06, 2012 |
nagoma: Hehe I did not grow up in a rain forest region, though. Though at this point, my ancestral town and the environs can probably accommodate horses. |
Re: United States To Open Consulate In Kano by ITbomb(m): 11:13am On Mar 06, 2012 |
