Idokojimmy: AS NORTHERN ELITE EXPRESS FEAR OVER DRONE BASE IN NIGER, US AMBASSADOR SAYS NIGERIA NOT COMPLAINING

U.S. Ambassdor to Nigeria, Terence P. McCulley has said that the Nigerian government has not said anythng about the drone base in neighbouring Niger republic. This silence is being taken by the Americans as consent and approval. However, the presence of the drone is causing massive anxiety in Northern Nigeria and may have been partly responsible for the Sultan of Sokoto's call for an amnesty for Boko Haram and other Islamic insurgents.

It would be recalled that the United States is setting up a Drone Base in Niger Republic whose responsibility will be to help in the fight against terror amongst other things. Drones are unmanned planes that are used to kill persons who are a threat to the National Security of the United States.

Stallion77: oh....i see. did my oga at the top complain about it? if not, datz all!

gboss4sure: I would have loved this if there is no uterior motive behind it. Say No to US drones they aint there just to kill boko only. This is what these fools in the north has caused us. I wish that FG will reject the use of drones in our terriotry. I prefer china drones than usa drones abeg. As far as it Is the USA that is behind the drones I reject it.

chiover: They shd go borno and tesrun the drones sharp sharp no time to waste joor see it your self

Biggyd2: Now, its really getting hot in here. I want to know what the oga at the top has to say about this! That's all!

Uncle G, we are waiting.

U are still waiting for D oga @ the top to make a comment.

Obviously u didn't read the article well, pls do visit it again and read carefully

Sec5: As d north enjoy killings,there is no need to panic as they will soon reap the proceeds of their favourite

khadaffi: I'm totally disappointed that no one in the Nig govt opposed to the drones in Niger. Apart from the so called islamist militant they claim to fight, this instrument(drones) is capable of gathering intelligence. A situation where the US start gathering intelligence on Nig and Ecowas military formation should not be welcomed at all. If the only equipment in succesfully fighting the islamist is the drones then they should sell one to any Ecowas or neigbouring countries. But if the weapon cannot be sold to any of the countries so lets fight it with what we have. The drones should be removed

Biggyd2:

Thank you Sir! I have a very clear understanding of what I read. The Americans have construed silence from Nigerian government (which we cannot verify presently) to mean consent. So I should swallow what they have said because...?

They are the almighty USA? And I can assure you that if this is true, Nigeria cannot keep quite for long. Oga must talk for dis mata. No be moi moi and agidi case be dis one.

U are very wrong bro " oga on top has given his 100 percent consent" to America.

There are some things that are better left unsaid , of which this is one of them.

*u can just imagine the reaction/actions of the northern elites if our oga on top comes out to make a formal statement on the approval of drones in our midst*

HammedSodiqq: Their roof is on fireeeeee! Oh oh!
Now they are scared. One thing is sure, drones dont discriminate between emir, sultan or politicians. Supporting them makes you one of them and invariable a target for drone attack.
Amend your ways before its too late.

illitrate: The boko boys will run to the south and the drones will follow them.
