Envoy Faults Nigeria’scancellation Of U.s.military Training Pact by saintopus(m): 1:32am On Dec 02, 2014 |
UNITED States of America Monday described as premature Federal Government’s decision to discontinue the American military training of a Nigerian Army battalion. Although Nigerian military officials refused to comment on the cancellation of the training, the United States Embassy Abuja, in a statement titled ‘US Government Regrets Nigerian Cancellation of Military Training’ described it as “premature.” The US training of the Nigerian Army battalions was to enable it imbibe its operational manual on procedures to minimise human rights abuses during their activities. The US statement read: “At the request of the Nigerian government, the United States will discontinue its training of a Nigerian Army battalion. The first two phases of training were conducted between April and August 2014, and had provided previously untrained civilian personnel with basic soldiering skills. Based on mutual assessment of the Nigerian Army and U.S. trainers, a third iteration of training was agreed upon with the intent of developing the battalion into a unit with advanced infantry skills. “We regret premature termination of this training, as it was to be the first in a larger planned project that would have trained additional units with the goal of helping the Nigerian Army build capacity to counter Boko Haram. The U.S. government will continue other aspects of the extensive bilateral security relationship, as well as all other assistance programs.” The United States has been critical of the Nigerian military’s campaign against the Boko Haram insurgents, accusing it of human rights abuses. And it based its inability to sell weapon systems to Nigeria on that. Nigeria’s Ambassador to the United States of America, Prof Ade Adefuye had on November 10 chided the United States of America for refusing to sell weapons to Nigeria to effectively contain the Boko Haram insurgency in Northern Nigeria, saying that the war against the insurgents would have been won long ago had the US agreed to sell weapons to Nigeria. http://theguardianmobile.com/readNewsItem1.php?nid=37340 |

Movesz: If you have a decent brain, you would know beggars have got no choice. A nation that can not refine its own oil, fix its own bad roads, defeat a rag tag militia and always begging (even a South Africa) for weapons is talking of insults? America has nothing to gain from Nigeria. It's Nigeria that actually needs America and it won't be long before your clueless leaders rescind this daft decision. 3 Likes |

Movesz: What bigger picture are you seeing? If after over 50 years of independence, we can't manufacture the required weapons to curtail a local rag tag insurgents, then we should be humble enough to take whatever insult we get from those who selling us their weapons. US don't need us to train their army or sell them weapons. We are the one that needs their assistance so if we are serious about getting American weapons, we have no choice than to abide by their rules. 1 Like |

seunmsg:my fellow nigerian man what am saying is simple#fact# a baby is not made and born in a day.i personaly like the us but the point here is..they are not humble we should not be humble in return, it makes us even weaker in the eyes of other nation. This is no time for weakness..the us are more powerful us thats also a fact..but if they dont need us things would have went differently...an average nigerian should have already understood the conspiracy going on..if you dont understand. Wel thats your problem sir/ma..my people use to say"who no know no go know. |

Somehow I feel the US wants Nigeria to fail. And moreso, Nigeria not endorsing gay marriage maybe one the reasons. My opinion though. |
