When PMB said he was going to investigate the ICC stuff wailers were everywhere screaming trash, some top military officials are being probed and all we could hear from the wailers is witch hunt.... If you guys ain't ready to watch PMB fix NIGERIA you can simply follow Oba akiolu's guidline

Ofornaira:
U should understand that the Us never mean well for nigeria, they would always refuse to assist us whenever we ask for their help. In the case of ebola, we all witnessed their stand. If not for God's grace, they wanted us to perish. Whoever that thinks that the US can do anything good for us is living in cloud cuckoo land.

wordcat:
A begger can receive any type of abusive word, can this Leahy of a man dare say so about Iran or North Korea not to talk of Russia?

Since we are beggers; we've to learn how to live like beggers.

While America is busy begging Iranian military; they're calling Nigerian military Rap1sts

Ozedy:
The president deserve what he got from a common senator, using the tax payer money to engaged on 4 days thank you visit, rooming around US state for no reason. APC is the waste thing that has ever happen to this country. the senator has told him, he should face his problem and stop running to America for help, very pathetic.

Publ1cEnemy:
If they will not assist our military then let's buy from Russia.







those ones are ever willing. Even though we destroy ourselves with the weapons.

Patrick Leahy, an American Senator who sponsored the Leahy Law says that President Muhammadu Buhari should not blame the United States for not choosing to support the Nigerian Army.

The Leahy amendment prohibits the US Department of State and Department of Defence from providing military assistance to foreign military units that violate human rights with impunity.

Owing to the fact that the Nigerian military has been accused of alleged human rights crimes in its war against Boko Haram, the United States had refused to give the country the required assistance.

President Buhari had said on Wednesday, July 22, at the United States Institute for Peace that the law “aided and abetted” the campaign of bloodletting of Boko Haram.

In a response posted on his website, Senator Leahy said he could not be blamed for the atrocities committed by the murderers and rapists in the Nigerian military.

He said:

“It is well-documented by the State Department and by respected human rights organisations that Nigerian army personnel have, for many years, engaged in a pattern and practice of gross violations of human rights against the Nigerian people and others, including summary executions of prisoners, indiscriminate attacks against civilians, torture, forced disappearances and rape. Rarely have the perpetrators been prosecuted or punished.”

“This abusive conduct not only violates the laws of war, it creates fear and loathing among the Nigerian people whose support is necessary to defeat a terrorist group like Boko Haram.

“President Buhari ignores the undisputed fact that most Nigerian army units have been approved, under the Leahy Law, for U.S. training and equipment. Only those particular units against which there is credible evidence of the most heinous crimes are ineligible for U.S. aid. And even those units can again become eligible if the Nigerian Government takes effective steps to bring the responsible individuals to justice.

“I strongly agree with President Buhari about the need to defeat Boko Haram, and I have supported tens of millions of dollars in U.S. aid to Nigeria for that purpose. But rather than suggest that the United States is at fault for not funding murderers and rapists in the Nigerian military, he should face up to his own responsibility to effectively counter Boko Haram. He should direct his attention to the Nigerian military, and the Nigerian courts, and clean up the units implicated in such atrocities.”

Mcowubaba:

those ones are not sufficient or good enough, USA is first class quality nd performance, others are less, that why GEJ also initially wanted to buy 4rm them, but dem no gree....that was only why he went 4 lesser weapons 4rm non-USA allies....

Nasri100:


I think you have difficulty in understanding simple lines. Do not let hate of the President affect your reasoning. The senator's assertion is infact launching a scathing attack to the past government. The war crimes were perpetuated under Jonathan and not Buhari's government. Go back to school.

onatisi:
let buhari start from somewhere . We don't need the best weapons in the world to fight a rag tag army . The weapons we have can still do the job . All we need are motivated soldiers .boko haram has no tanks or fighter jets and yet the nigeria military has all that, with the combined force of chad and niger we can defeat boko haram . Ppl said gej isn't an army general so he doesn't know anything about war now buhari an army general is giving the same reasons and excuses gej gave ?

I don't need 365 days to identify a dullard

Uhmmm...


Like if you think the senator made sense and share if you think he didn't.
