all4naija: Nonsense! I still think the presence of US in Nigeria will change the country for worse to bad. However, bad is better than worse. I would rather live with US buying out oil than the extremist Jihad killings and born to rule mentality of the Northerners.

I suspect millions of Nigerians will support this . . . grin grin grin grin grin

From worse to bad ?

Did Libya change from worse to bad? How about Iraq, Somalia and Afghanistan were they worse off before the US intervention ?

Maybe what you really need is a wake up call, have you heard of the hell fire missile system? Its a missile that the US military fire from the predator drone, here is a recent commentary on its accuracy:

Hellfire Missile Accuracy Problems Uncovered in Pentagon Data
OFFICIAL CLAIMS OF “PINPOINT” ACCURACY ARE EXAGGERATED
Sunday 27 November 2011, by Matthew J. Nasuti



Newly disclosed information by the Pentagon casts doubt on the accuracy and reliability of it primary anti-terrorism tool, the AGM-114 “Hellfire” missile. Fired from drone aircraft such as the Predator, it is the mainstay of the CIA’s not-so-secret bombing campaign in North Waziristan. These new revelations call into question the credibility of dozens of U.S. military and intelligence officials who have been briefing Congress and the American people for years about this weapon system. Exaggerated claims of “pinpoint” accuracy have been used to justify the increasing use of this weapon against targets in urban areas of Afghanistan, Pakistan, Yemen, Somalia, Libya and other countries. The result has been increased civilian casualties.

More information on the inaccuracy of the hell fire missile:

Some of these classified Hellfire deficiencies were evident on May 5, 2011, when the United States deployed a fearsome armada of aircraft into the skies above Yemen. It included AC-130 gunships, Harrier fighter planes and combat drones. [b]The target was a suspected terrorist named Anwar al-Awlaki. What we know now is that an air to ground missile was fired. The laser guided missile missed the convoy, either because it lost its missile lock or never acquired one to begin with. Anwar al-Awlaki stopped his vehicle and switched cars, but the switch was not detected. Two more missiles were fired and they both missed him. Thereafter, due to bad weather and a lack of fuel for some of the aircraft, further strikes were called off. The air strikes on Anwar al-Awlaki’s convoy were a stunning failure, which should have prompted Congressional hearings, but such never occurred.

The same hearings were not held in 2002 when the CIA fired on and yet failed to hit 2002’s primary bogeyman, terrorist leader Gulbuddin Hekmatyr who was attending a meeting in Kunar Province, Afghanistan. Between 2002 and 2011, there have been a significant string of missile failures and misses, many occurring during CIA air strikes into North Waziristan. None of this would be possible if the Hellfire lived up to its propaganda.[b][/b]

Ha Ha That is about the size of it fer sure. Only terrorist bombing organizers like Ayatollah Buhati Bin Laden of the Boko Haram terror gang fame need worry about Virgin Time though. The rest of y'all can just "go about your normal business" while the jihadist infestation is dealt with remotely from above.
