This is another way to target young people looking for a better life. I heard during WW1 OR 2 that people also lost their jobs due to economic crisis and students dropped out of schools and many joined the military. I think Americans should fight for their land themselves after all they all like to hate on immigrants and blame immigration for their problems. No advanced human being will join military of a nation known for bullying smaller nations. The Igbos are wise, so they won't be jumping into it like that. Why Igbo language? why put it together with Arabic language and other US enemy nations' like Chinese? Undecided Undecided Huh Huh Huh Huh Why? the question is why Igbo language? uhhh? I'm just worried.

My cousin de Navy oooo Cry Cry. I wonder why him join self cause him no need am for anything cause him be citizen. Cry Cry Cry Cry. Dem de prepare for another war?Huh

WOW !!! Unbeweavable!!!

Who are Ibos? Huh
Igbos are people who call themselves Igbos. It's a loose term for people. So someone may ask which part of Igbo does the white man come from? Given limited knowledge of geography, average Igbos used to think that the World begins and ends in Igboland. As far as I could remember from my grand parents, our auntie married from Calabar came from a part of Igboland called Calabar, so another cousin also came from another part called Afikpo. The Igbo World was made of areas they had some sort of contact. Before the civil war, many people from Akwa-Ibom, Rivers, and Cross rivers, Delta, and even Benue easily identified themselves as Igbos, because it was just a concept not a demarcation. Igbo is made of different dialects, cultures and even traditions. After politics entered the picture; well you know the rest of the story.

Hmmm, good question but if you don't know both are in a M.A.D agreement, I don't know how to explain it to you. The two nations are watching themselves closely. I remembered a US submarine in Chinese water and all the CIA and US military  said was oops our bad sorry.

Strategic thinking by the Americans! I just wonder what it's all about though!
It definitely has something to do with Oil, 2015 or the fact that Igbos have an extensive spread worldwide.

I agree with the reasoning of Naijaking1, Negro-ntns and Debosky!

@Negro_ntns
For the uninitiated, your speculations would pass for mere conspiracy theories!
However,those in the know, sure do know that your reasoning is in line with subterranean/inconspicuous realities!

This is for conspiracy enthusiasts!

The US government wants to train Igbos to takeover the Hausa dominated Nigerian government to limit any influence Al-Qaeda and their likes might have in the country. Nigeria can supply about 70 million soldiers in event of a world war and that is a good number to have on your side.    Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin

americans always mis analyze demographics of other countries .

i see it this way - the niger delta is a region where Americans are at risk form terrorism. the  American Army  has taken 'the three tribes in nigeria' mantra, and assumed that igbo is the lingua franca of  the niger delta. they have decided they need ibo speaking soldiers in the event that anytime in the near future, they have to make a 'tears of the sun' type infiltration into the ND to recover their citizens.

if/when they realze their gaffe , they'll start asking for ijaw/itsekiri speaking soldiers

That's ok. Do you know how many Ijaw/Itsekiri people fluently speak Igbo? The US is not asking for Igbos, but Igbo-speaking people.

So people are happy the US wants to use Nigerians for experiments? How come the United States  not recruiting Igbo speaking people to work in their civil service, health, transportation etc. This further proves Nigeria has the largest concentration of dumb asses at home and abroad. You'd expect Nigerians abroad to know the USA only promotes policies that'll benefit the USA.

I love the Igbos. A tribe that confronted a nation like Nigeria for 3 yrs (1967-1970). It has not be done in History. I believe that is why they need us

@9jaganja, Why not worry about your own life, and what it is worth. I am sure your cousin understood from the start that there were risks involved. I mean anyone who joined the forces after 2001 should have a better idea of what may come.

I apologize if my limited explanation did not hit the spot. I believe "ibo" is a simple lazy corruption of "Igbo" Also, I believe the British found it easier to write and say Ibo, than Igbo. All said and done, the Igbos call themselves(and indeed other people) Igbos.

They want to start with the military first. If they are successful with the project they will draft more Igbos to civil service, transportation and health.
