It is a common phenomenon for all US presidents to consider the gain accruing to America in joining a war or fighting for liberation in any part of the world.Statements like what does America has to gain in this fight or what will American ntervention has to gain in the internal crisis of a nation/state economically.The war in Iraq some believe yielded Oil contracts for Iraqi security forces as some of the gains America had to gain.The Liberian war which ended a decade ago also yielded more military hardwae purchases from American companies for the for the Liberian security forces.Put simply, America does not intervene where its political and economic interest are not protected, assured and guaranteed.This 'Tortoise foreign Relation' is what line Nigeria are want to thread.Nigeria and Nigerians complain we are not respected in Africa and beyond despite our influence, support, intervention which are known and acknowledged worldwide and within the African continent.I think we should wise up and rather play our big brother parts purely on humanitarian and love as preached by the Holy books and turn from the American norm of giving to earn respect.
What do you think?

How is Nigeria consider a big brother in Africa? Nigeria is the most hated African country. Go to Facebook and see the comment made by other Africans against Nigerians. We have our own problem in Nigeria and we should fix them and stop worrying about US role in other African countries

If you are able to identify and itemise 5 American foreign policies,you will an answer to your questions.

u probably derailed from the thread.Nigeria has restored peace to some African countries and whenever it should be respected it is like those countries never appreciate its efforts.The point i raised in the far end of my write up is that we should play our part purely on Humanitarian and Love for our fellow men and not copy th general American belief of 'American Interest'.thanks anyway.

i may not be in a position to name all five of American foreign policies but based on what i said, American interest is centre to all its foreign policy objectives

there is nothing wrong in America trying to protect its interest at the expense of other countries. They are the world only super power and their interest comes first. I don't really blame them because any country will behave like America if they are the world surper power

I actually believe that the actions proposed above would illustrate that we truly were leaders!

in addition bro, am not a hater of America.They are a model of development though their foreign policy as enumerated in my write-up is what am against.Humanitarian and Love for fellow human being shouuld precede all other human gain in foreign relation..those are my thoughts though.
