Nigeria Signs Nuclear Agreement With Iran

So you are simply anti-WESt and desperate to link this to the WEST at all cost.

This Iranian offer is as good a deal as if we've been offered to back Iran in fighting against America.  People should understand that in war (whether cold or hot) countries are always glad to have any available allies. They will mostly want to use some poor country as a pawn or a weapon to fight their war. They will use any country which is foolish enough to side with them and desert them when the going becomes tough for the poor country.  nigeria should be old enough to know when they want to be used to fight a war that does not concern them.  Siding with a weaker party in wars had never been the best policy in the history of war.                                    

@ Kobojunkie.

Well, if you don't accept my word that I'm not anti-West, I guess there's no point arguing it. You believe what you want, my friend, but my statement still stands.

As for not getting anything out of it? I haven't stated that. Read through my posts again. I've stated that Nigeria may not gain from Iran (either directly or indirectly). I've also stated that it may get something from the other players in the nuclear scene because of this deal.

Granted, the word "may" denotes possibilities on either side. But then it isn't the same as "won't".

Energy, in whatever form is very necessary for development. Nigeria need sourse of power. No nation, will develop without a continues power supply. There are numereous means by which ectricity is generate, and all need to be included in the energy mix of a country for sustainability and continues growth. Nuclear Energy, with all its attended problem is very vital. There is no developed country without nuclear reactor for electricity. All developed nations. From US to Japan to Australia, just name anyone. Even South Africa have a nuclear reactor for electricity. Now, we shouldnt confuse nuclear reactor for nuclear energy with the term nuclear power which the western countries used in describing nuclear bomb. France and China have the most advanced technology in Nuclear electricity. Recently they have developed fast breeder reactors for converting Plotonium grade uranium to uranium-239. But they wont give it to u  because u are Nigeria, the Giant of Africa, yearning for electricity.

Developed countries have formed a catel of rich nations and doesnt what any poor country to break into that circle. They prefer us to remain as poor as we are, so that they can be sending aid to us. And they will hold conference telling us that they are helping us.
France gets 80% of its electricity from Nuclear reactors and exports electricity to all the neighboring Eurpean countries, but france have no uranium deposits. They get all their uranium from Niger republic. While Niger republic gets all their electricy from Nigeria and Libya. France have never for one day thought of providing Niger republic with one nuclear power plant. They are not after our development. If developed countries truely want to help us to achieve millenium development goals we don't need the technology, just come and build the nuclear reactors and then we get uninterrupted supply of electricity for 35years. India and Pakistan all have nuclear power plants, half of their electricity coming from their power plant. Althought the motive for their nuclear power was for weapons, but they end up using it for their own benefit. The population of Nigeria is too big to rely on fossil fueled power plant. It is not possible. We need the nuclear power plant. We don't need nuclear technology. But developed countries will never give u any of their technology. Never. Uptill today we cannot explore and produce our oil. We are waiting for them to give us the knowlege free of charge, with our stupid thinking of Technology Transfer. No one will give u technology. Although there is going to be serious concern about Iranian motives. But all I care is to one day be able to see electricity 24-7-365 in Nigeria. People in Nigeria are dying because of hunger, people are dying because we can not produce anything in Nigeria. We can not produce hospital equipments. We can produce drugs. We can't produce anything. Mosquitos are killing Nigerians and other African countries. They have never bothered to do research on malaria vaccine because it is a tropical disease, it wont affect them. We will always remain slaves, if we did not start thinking we should be independent. We are quick in copying anything that is rubbish but we can not copy what is vital for national development.  I think we have to start thinkin positively, nuclear energy is a right to every nation and Nigeria must have it. We don't need it from Iran, but y can't we have it? What is wrong with our scientist and our government? Are u people telling us that as a developing nation we have no right to have nuclear knowleged?

are u guys sure you're not replyin out of religious and political sentiments? whats wrong with iran?whats wrong with defyin the u.s/ after all, they beeef iran 4 what israel was allowed to build and what countries like u.s and russia have, nothing do us, make we just maintain am,

this analogy is far off the mark. Femi has not passed his GCE exam, Femi is not even in secondary school at all and has no hope of ever getting there in the next 20yrs . . . what is Emeka, a 46yr old doing with him?
