Barack Obama is not a true son of Africa cos if he was he wudnt introduce foreign policies which are against the interests of blacks..we supported him during his first n second term presidential bids n he won.Thank goodness he hasn't got a chance anymore..infact,nobody wishes he was there.Americans r dissatisfied with him n so are our people too..black man black heartso they say.
the reason is not far fetched..
1.nigerian government prohibition of gay acts
2.Nigeria's position as the biggest economy in Africa.
3.The inability of the US government to exert influence on Nigeria like before.
4.Nigeria's image has bn tarnished to an extent that outsiders stl believe that nothing good can come out from us..
5.corruption..

if no 1 is reversed the us govt wud likely mk a u turn... HOWEVER,I see that as a blessing in disguise.. this has really tot our leaders a lesson that we shud not put our eggs in one basket.cudnt we av sought for an alternative buyer at the right time?
must we keep exporting crude oil at cheap prizes to other countries n stl buy the refined products at exorbitant prizes while our refineries can handle it..wl local production of petroleum products not provide jobs opportunities for the teeming unemployed masses?

Come you think american have time for neopotism and is barrack obama the president of africa or USA

I pray it slides to $1/barrel!!
All the useless trangai for evry naija pipu go end fiam!!
Nobodi go teach anyone to go back to farming wan time!

Agricultural Engineers like us can smile pretty soon..


i hope d oil crisis gets worse..

it would make us consume our barrels ourselves. reducing its price.

If from what I understand is right, halting importation from Nigeria has also affected other oil exporting countries "drop in price of crude oil"

let's look for something else to export
let's deal with China, China will never treat nigeria like this

Obama never hid his hatred for nigeria, i don't know why it still suprise some people.......

Obama doesn't see himself as black man from Kenya
let's stop famzin him, Nigeria is bigger than one man

God bless Nigeria

Why can't we refined our oil and start exporting it to other Africa and Asia countries?
We should go back to agricultural....
Am angry with the federal government, they don't invest in science cos without science, no country can move forward, which is why I classify Africa as a backward continent....so if am been rude.

Good !!!! I support you on this sweetie

santana45:
Oil oil oil , one day this oil fit finish ohhh.

Our problem is not outward it is inward. I could care less if America stops buying our oil .If there's anything that will do for us it will force us to look inward. It's just like a man with character disorder blaming every one for his failures and woes except himself. If people ignore him and stop every business with him he will be forced to look inward and forced to take necessary steps to make him successful. Look at China for example. Look at Japan. Except us

dragon2:


No businessman/group will want to invest in building a Refinery in Nigeria until we deregulate the downstream sector and allow the price of petrol to float.Something Nigerians do not want.It would be too dangerous for a Foreigner to invest in something tightly controlled by Government and subject to corruption(petroleum subsidy). This has not been helped by the dormant PIB. Yes, dangote has decided to tread such dangerous waters but he alone knows what gives him the confidence.

the world has left Nigeria behind since it has refused to move yet we cannot see the hand writing on the world. America had moved beyond fuel consumption to solar energy and besides they are not as wasteful as Nigeria. They have bought and preserved enough fuel enough to last them for centuries and if Nigeria is not careful after the next 100 years if fuel dries up as predicted by the u.s analyst we will be the one s buying from America. Unfortunately nigerians are still enjoying their poverty. They are not ready to wake up or do you think America will give genuine reasons why they are no more buying fuel? It's obvious they have bought fuel and preserved to the extent that they don't longer need again abi is it until I say obi is a boy and simbi is a girl


if una like make una no wake up and keep singing the God will help us chorus.mshewee

u are not a student of history cause if you are u will understand that America at it's teething age was more corrupt than Nigeria,the difference is that (1)those money was reinvested in America(2)they strengthened their institution rather than individual,hire pope and install him as our president and corruption will still thrive,

[quote author=donmalcolm21 post=29247455][/quote]

Yes, you are correct we are the number one economy in africa and that is our original sin to the american.they'd discovered they are the ones making us fat.
Din't america realise chevron and the rest are in nigeria before cutting thier crude oil deal with us?.

You are not RUDE bro.
Infact, according to the Manifesto Of Commitee Of 300, no African country must bé allowed to get hold Nuclear Energy Development System because according to them, it is the key or solution to removing Africa from the backward state We are!!

The key to advancing to Nuclear Energy production and other science oriented levels is Research.
If you do not explore, you can never discover.

I wonder how Buhari will achieve economic diversification when He and APC has rejected systems that makes our States LGAs and Private Sector the vanguard of national development.



Buhari will never eradicate corruption and poverty because he will never implement the following


Resource control

Fiscal federalism

Privatization

Political federalism

Decentralization of Nigeria

Restructuring of Nigeria

Institutions submitting their quarterly activities to public scrutiny


Which are the fastest route to economic diversification , citizenry prosperity and political stability



Buhari is not the Messiah

is that the issue. Keep giving excuses for our failure as if America hasn't grown up since. Are we going to remain infants forever. That is why Nigeria will not develop. Instead of looking at the way forward you're giving excuses for our gross ineptitude. Let us put those who think we can't do without them to shame you're being sentimental. Nawa o

Come you think american have time for neopotism and is barrack obama the president of africa or USA

what is the link between nepotism and american government buying our crude oil?
or do u av ur own version of the meaning of nepotism?
the basis of my argument is that the american government is yet to give reasonable explanation as to why they have stopped importing our crude oil.why have they only severed the crude oil trade link with Nigeria only whereas there have bn a reported increase in the volumes of crude oil imported from Saudi Arabia n Canada??
i don't no which school of tot u belong!

America think they are playing smart, loading the market with surplus supply of oil and driving down oil prices, thereby hurting their perceived enemies- Russia, Iran, Venezuela and Nigeria- by cutting down on their oil generated forex and widening their trade deficit. But USA also has putrid debts, lets see how Obama will look when the creditors knock on the white doors mid next year!!

am not giving excuses,trying to proffer solution,we need to strengthen our institutions

It seems Nigerian's love to blame blame blame without any justification.

Everyone who knows what is happening and is unbiased knows the US have been working towards increasing oil production to reduce reliance on importation for years, and the recent shale boom actually boosted USA to the top oil producer this year. This is inpart the reason for the recent fall in oil prices, coupled with slowing Chinese economy among other factors, so to say US stopped buying Nigeria oil is punishment for gay law is foolishness.

Stop blaming the US and focus on building your refineries so you are not importing oil, and and diversify your economy.

If you want a sensible logical reason as to why US stopped importing Nigeria oil, read the following link, if not continue to wallow in ignorance and believe its gay law.
http://time.com/67163/why-are-u-s-oil-imports-falling/

Besides, Nigeria was never a major supplier of oil to the states. See below the top 5 oil suppliers to the states;

Top five countries2
Canada 3.142 (32%)
Saudi Arabia 1.329 (13%)
Mexico 0.919 (9%)
Venezuela 0.806 (8%)
Russia 0.460 (5%) 0

please the world is a small village now due to the internet and information is free and available so educate yourselves and stop typing ignorant rubbish

When GMB becomes the president and fight against is taking serious, USA will start buying our oil. USA can not be seen sourcing oil from a corrupt nation. It their own way telling us that the government of the day is corrupt and not ready to fight it and they are no longer going to support corruption in Nigeria. They have spoken to us enough on the issue of corruption but GEJ with his co-travelers don't listen. It is time to use economic power. They how much money we make from oil deals daily, they know the much that end up in peoples private account and small change that is declared as oil revenue for over 160 million to share. USA is now using nations of like mind to deal with us.

Dont blame US because they knew all the secret about Nigeria and how toomuch money money has cause us, look at the security challenges that we have today and those that are alleged to be the foundation and their financial strength, private jet everywhere, money laundring, High rat of corruption as a results of oil money, US does this in every situation like this, where toomuch money is becoming a problem to the society, don't forget what US does to some of the artist in US who misbehaving, commit crimes, and how some of their wealth were withdraw from them.

The problem is the structure

Even if you make the Pope the president of Nigeria, he won't make any difference


Jesus Christ taught us a lesson through Judas that , if we don't create good systems/ structures, men like Judas will get away with their evils.

You are just too stupid to understand,....the nigerian people rejects Jonathan,usa rejects jona dull,the whole rejects him....buhari faced similar problem in 1984 and he was able to come out of it....jona is too dull datz why usa is pullin the strings on him.so simple to understand.only buhari can help us out......

They stole $20bil and mocked the US saying 'America will know'. Now the Americans have decided to stop funding corruption and mediocrity, you're crying 'ga'y activist'.

Come next year, after the change in power, the US will open up and tell you guys why they stopped buying your oil just like the Ivorian 'blood diamonds'.

darediamond:
South West is not for Buhari.
If you do not know how we play Politics, keep silence and learn.
As you said, Buhari will never do those things you mentioned because the North is White House and London's Tool in Keeping Nigeria under developed.
If a Northener become Nig. President today, USA will start buying the Oil again!!!!
As they are treating Nigeria "Bleep up", so also they are treating Russia "Bleep up" rigth now using Oil price as weapon.

It is time we start making money from our brains by utilising our Crude resourses to make FINISHED PRODUCTS.

I see this USA action as a blessing in disguise.

Time to establish and fund Research Centers accross Nigeria is here now.



If you do not have research centers, you will never get new things discovered let alone making them manufactureable which translates to Large Scale Employments.

People of Nigeria, this is time to shun White-man introduced Laws in Science Field.

The Withes are Mortal men. They are nor God!!

Brilliant one.

Yankee "buying" Nigeria's oil - example: pay for 100 barrels, and get 150 barrels free through Apiam way; pay billions of dollars for oil pollution in say, Texas, but pay a token for similar pollution in say, Otuoke, Bayelsa state - that's the system they operated whenever born to rule was in power.

Wise up Nigerians. Rise up. Jonathan may not be the best president for now, but he has so far resisted economic recolonization of Nigeria. Nigerians, resist all the pressure on Jonathan to go by 2015. The pressure is to make Nigeria once again a Banana Republic - a colony.

okay genius. what should we do? continue with this useless, clueless government?

oziegbe2015:
If u ask me its not far from what hilary clinton said that this present nigeria president has supervised the looting of the oil and its sales proceeds. Its obvious us does not want its money to go to the CABAL, but would buy frm other countries where the president utilizes oil sales to the benefit of its citizen

You could be right, this present Government cannot be trusted.

Because Americans want lower gas prices. Obama delivered. End thread.

Gas is fucking cheap now. HALF. I said, HALF, what it was.

Seriously, some of you think the world revolves around Nigeria. If Nigeria wasn't my motherland, I wouldn't give a crap about it either.

when 1 door closes another opens. Although it depends on the mapped out plan our president made. We have many natural resources that can yeild us money.
We also have agriculture.
We have alotta things that can help us be among the top countries of the world.
all the moni wey we don gather 4 oil, our corrupt leaders don carry am troway
vex don make me i 4got exactly what to comment!

i no go even blaim u.s sef, we cant force dem to buy our goods n' service, am only worried about the poor masses.
Thunder go fire our past leaders includin' jona n' as for buhari, may thunder fire u anywhere u are,that old wicked criminal just want to turn naija to hell,buh i pray it will never work 4 him.
God listen to our prayers o, we are tired of all this mismanagement and corruption in this phuckin' country!!!

I have always said Nigerians seem to have a bigger image of themselves on the international scene than is reality and are ready to believe every silly conspiracy theories rather than logical common sense.

You spend more on churches and pastors than science and education and you wonder why you are still so backward depending on others for everything.
