Obama Leaves Nigeria Out Of $110m Peacekeeping Fund by Idrismusty97(m): 5:17pm On Aug 10, 2014 |
IN a rather surprising fallout of the US-Africa Summit with over 40 presidents and heads of state from Africa, including President Jonathan Goodluck, in attendance, US President Barack Obama has decided to leave Nigeria out of its multi-million-dollar effort to support peacekeepers from Africa.http://www.ngrguardiannews.com/news/national-news/174445-obama-leaves-nigeria-out-of-110m-peacekeeping-fund 8 Likes |

I believe the American and EU governments have finally realised that any fund is sent Nigeria is looted by polithieves and never used for its main purpose. And probably also that Nigeria is capable of funding itself but the funds are always looted by corrupt and incompetent "leaders". Nigeria shouldn't lament. We deserve everything that's coming to us 194 Likes |

Right... So giving the funds to ghana, Rwanda and Uganda is so much better. Funny seeing the stupid comments in the thread. I swear Nigerians can sometimes be some of the most stupid people you can ever come across. They think by by speaking ill of nigeria in every situation they are enlightened and forward thinking when Infact it's the opposite. 95 Likes |

All the posters before you said the bitter truth. Should we be parting our leaders on the back when they are seriously messing up? Is that how you live your life? Licking other people's asss so as not to hurt their feelings ? Be a man and stand for the truth always no matter how difficult and hard it is. That is what defines a man!! Shalom. 165 Likes |

RoyalRoy: Your just typing nonsense. My comment had nothing to do with feelings. Or licking ass. It's all about facts. If the Americans see it fit to share defense funds with Uganda, ghana and Rwanda. ( countries with very questionable corrupt/shady governments and institutions) Uganda- very corrupt. Government has history of abuse. Also history of using child soldiers. Ghana- very corrupt and is a poster boy on how NOT to run your economy Rwanda- though Rwanda has made great improvements economically Kagames government has also been very oppressive towards opposition and anyone who speaks ill of his government. Has played a role in assassinating journalists and opposition members in Rwanda and even outside the country. Plus lets not forget rwanda and uganda have been caught assisting rebels who are destabilizing the congo. So with all that What makes it right to skip Nigeria? Jonathan with all his faults is not as bad as the leaders of these countries. nigeria is one of the worlds leading peace keeping nations and a country that does and has done a lot for Africa. So it's logical to work closely with such a country if one is looking to further peace in Africa. 73 Likes |

Two more years Obama will no longer be relevant. That is not a problem. I also notice the nations are predominantly east-africans where he is from and only two west africans. Only problem is Nigeria will break in 2015, if the born to rule mentality is not dropped to allow power rotation. Yoru-hausa team up will break Nigeria. I have said my own! 11 Likes |

And so? This ain't news. Without USA we will and must survive. If not for corruption and incessant looting by our old leaders that've refusd to relinquish power to the younger generations, we shouldn't be looking forward getting financial assistance from USA. We've the funds and strength to finance ourselves and solve our problems; but unfortunately, those money are in the personal accounts of our leaders. 8 Likes |

Nigeria has always been a major contributor if not the highest contributor to African Peace. Excluding Nigeria may only be because we are seen as capable and they are trying to help others to their feet so that they can contribute too. This may be the idea behind this. **********Edit We don't have to always see things about Nigeria in the negative. 16 Likes |

davitogreat:why are you wasting your time trying to educate ignoramoses. Are you not happy that nigeria and its army is not placed under the control of a western sponsored peace keeping initiative. (how much is $110 mil) that we would want to subject our army to a western sponsored peace keeping initiative, remember say na person wey pay musician dey chose song. Our soldiers are not mercenaries and do not need any such money to remind them of their duty in protecting brother nations was nigerian peace keeping role facilitated by any US imperialistic financial project. Those americans who said that nigeria was excluded as a result of the human right abuses of it soldiers are hiding the truth. One can easily see that the US selected african states that can be compelled to pipe along with either sanctiion or foreign aid. Why is it that uganda just revoked its anti gay law and suddenly the US is all friendly with her. Or is it ghana with it band of corrupt dimwits posing as government officers stealing the country dry and still borrowing from IMF to steal more. Is it that country (name witheld) were child soldiers was institutionalised and a brutal civil war that threatened to tear the very fabrics of human right. If nigeria must be added in that group then why dont you ask yourself why isnt Algeria,south africa, egypt, angola, cameroun, kenya and other better placed countries included. Or re we going to go back down the ladder and allow our military men now veseted with the harsh experience of desert welfare, CTCOIN, urban welfare and to waste their time running peace keeping errands for america and its errand boys ( because of 110 million dollars) fact is that america may just be hiding its face, maybe the nigerian government have quietly rejeted the imperialistic offer. How can any country under ecowas with the provisions of ECOMOG , be a member to such a set up. It undermines the essence of ecomog and the african union standby force that is commanded by a nigerian, which may also be another reason why nigeria would not want to be a part and parcel of this colonial set up. As an african giant that ve intervened in so many regional conflict it would be painful and foolish if nigeria give up all that to sit and hide under an american set up. Mind you a nigerian commander have always being in charge of most of this african missions. So why should we eat crumbs. 39 Likes 1 Share |

Did they not pose together like 'brothers' to take a photo a few days ago? I really wish that our leaders will realize that no beggar nation has ever begged to greatness! Big Brother summoned our leaders to Washington to lecture them on getting serious about fighting corruption. The one that heeds that call will get aid for Ebola and the one that ignores and keeps embezzling (forgetting that America knows!) will be denied aid. Even the fight against corruption is not necessarily out of love for us, but perhaps so that Chinese 'bribers' don't get all the juicy contracts through dirty shady deals! We dont have a BH problem. We dont have an unemployment problem. Our problem is corruption and those other things you call problems are mere symptoms. Only Nigeria can solve the Nigerian problem. 6 Likes |
