US is a rogue state with double standards. They will rather support terrorists to bring down governments that are not subservient to their selfish interests than support any that may pose a challenge to them.

One of thier modus-operandi is to create crisis/wars in other to bring nations to submission and install their cronies.

What a flimsy excuse by the Americans. Anyone who doesn't know by now that Boko Haram is a tool tamed to disintegrate Nigeria in 2015 is still living in self denial and ignorance.
Are you really this unstable in real life? The other you led a band of ignorant and haters of the FG to suggest it was behind the boko haram insurgency and now this?
I'm very sure you didn't find a way to spin this otherwise you would have done, now you haters can cover your heads in shame.

I Love the US but this level of double standard and outright hypocrisy is driving me crazy

First and foremost I agree that the Nigerian security forces have issues but not to the level where "Gods own country" will choose to side with terrorist burning homes and filming executions.

At least events in Ferguson and other American communities have shown us that brutality is not the exclusive preserve of the Nigerian security forces

To understand the level of hypocrisy you have to take a careful look at the information below


1. Bahrain have the worst rate of human rights abuses in the world,its so bad that any attempt to protest is met by the deployment of tanks and snipers but US just delivered Loads of arms and ammunitions including jets to them and have been doing so for decades

Source

2. The US supplies insurgents (good terrorist in the eyes of the US) fighting the Assad regime with weapons and logistics free of charge yet it if refuses to arm a sovereign nation fighting to protect her people from terrorists

www.america.aljazeera.com/articles/2014/9/17/congress-arming-syriarebels.html

3. The US supplies Saudi Arabia yearly with arms running into Billions .

Human rights do not exist in Saudi Arabia , in that country women are treated like property and are not even allowed to drive a simple car


Yet 60 Billion dollars worth of arms were shipped in 2013 alone

www.wsj.com/articles/SB10001424052748704621204575488361149625050


The rogue states the US supplies with arms arms are uncountable yet 170 million people are left armless while the Syrian terrorists get armed free of charge !

But Our help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.

Psalm 121 vs 2


We shall overcome God willing

God Bless Nigeria
bro u deserve a millions likes not forgetting isreal wen they were bombing Palestine d slippery characters still supplied em wit weapons despite d high level of civilian casualties(men,women n children)

and this is what you get from making Nigeria an enemy grin



China has toppled America to become the biggest
economy in the world, according to figures from
the International Monetary Fund.
The US has been the global leader since it
overtook Britain in 1872, but has now lost its
status as top dog.
The latest IMF figures show the Chinese economy
is worth £11trillion compared with £10.8trillion for
the US.
China – whose wealth has accelerated in recent
decades amid rapid industrialisation – is expected
to extend its lead, with the IMF estimating its
economy will be worth £16.7trillion in 2019.
That would be 20 per cent bigger than the US
economy, which is forecast to be worth
£13.8trillion by then.
The numbers are based on ‘purchasing power
parity’ (PPP) which makes adjustments for the fact
that goods are cheaper in countries such as China
relative to the US.
Without these adjustments for living costs, the
Chinese economy is still smaller than that of the
US, at £6.4trillion.
But experts have described the toppling of America
after nearly 150 years by China – even on the PPP
measure – as a ‘symbolic’ moment for the global
economy.
China enjoyed three decades of double-digit
growth before the global downturn, as
industrialisation and sweeping economic reforms
created a new powerhouse in the East.
Growth has slowed in recent years but remains
strong by Western standards with the IMF
forecasting expansion of 7.4 per cent this year and
7.1 per cent in 2015.
By contrast, the IMF is predicting growth of just
2.2 per cent in the US this year and 3.1 per cent
next year, while the UK is set for expansion of 3.2
per cent and 2.7 per cent.
The Fund yesterday said the US and the UK ‘are
approaching economic lift-off’ as they bounce
back from the recession. But Olivier Blanchard,
chief economist at the IMF, warned that ‘potential
growth is lower than it was in the early 2000s’ for
much of the West, including the US and UK.

I think Nigeria should collectively fight boko haram...if not, this will tear 'us' apart...north elites and their followers should put a stop to it...fund your local vigilante groups to put a stop to boko haram
