No Signs Nigeria Will Disintegrate In 2015 –US by Flye: 5:50pm On Jan 08, 2015
The United States Government has said there are no signs that Nigeria will disintegrate before, during or after the February general elections.

While explaining that Nigeria is facing “big challenges,” the US Ambassador to Nigeria, Mr. James Entwistle, stated that the problems at stake were surmountable.

According to the American envoy, Nigerians should “throw out of the window” the idea from “some think-tank or somebody outside the (US) government” stating that Nigeria would fall apart in 2015.

Entwistle spoke in Lagos on Thursday during an interactive session with journalists on the recent donation of a US naval ship, christened NNS Okpabana, to the Nigerian Navy.

The US diplomat said, “I have been plagued by the question (on Nigeria’s possible disintegration in 2015) and I have gone back to look and I can’t find any government report that said Nigeria would disintegrate in 2015. Maybe some think-tank or somebody outside the government said it; I don’t know.

“But in my opinion as the US Ambassador to this country, I am not worried in the least that Nigeria is going to disintegrate in 2015. Regardless of what someone may have said, the question is that we are now here in 2015: Do we see signs that Nigeria is going to disintegrate or fall apart or something? I don’t know what you think. But I don’t see those signs.

“But I see signs of growth, optimism and I see that to minimise the challenges that you have, in this life, you have to keep on keeping on and I think the future is quite bright.”

Entwistle added that if the Federal Government did what would need to be done in the coming years, especially as pertaining to “security, corruption and all of these things,” the future of Nigeria would be “very bright.”

He debunked the insinuation that the President Barack Obama administration has imposed “an arms embargo” on Nigeria following the reported refusal of the American government to sell Cobra helicopters to the Federal Government to prosecute the ongoing war against terrorism.

Citing human rights considerations for the development, Entwistle hinted that the US Diplomatic Mission to Nigeria, was “still talking about a number of other types of equipment and different types of helicopters that might be more appropriate” for the Nigerian military services.

Respecting human rights among the civilian population, he argued, should not be an impediment to fighting terrorism in the three north-eastern states of Adamawa, Borno and Yobe.

Repent, Change your ways. Don't return yourself and your unborn children to slavery.

The best that can happen to Nigeria at the moment is Goodluck Ebele Azikiwe Jonathan.

So they've given up on that,a country that has been shouting to high heavens that great Nigeria would disintegrate since 2001.

Now they know words cannot just pull us apart,unlike some timid countries that would have given them the pleasure,by heeding to their stupid advice...

Now they tell us.

In a way....Nigeria breaking up = one big war for the resources to sell.

Because Nigeria has been dependent on revenues from selling the raw materials (of which oil is the most profitable.....it is a myth that Agric will save us)...we have produced a nation of people who cannot do anything without their share of the oil cake.

We have a weak education system that only trains people to pick up certificates, and half baked graduates because education is not that important to us. We reallly do not need education....except to keep certain things running. Because education really is not that important to us...the oil money will keep coming, whether we work hard....or sleep all day.

So....if we want to split up peacefully, or stay united peacefully.....whatever the Yanks say....we have to stop lying to ourselves that we are a rich nation,use education,innovation and industrial development to work for our money....and forget about oil. PDP and APC should stop abusing themselves and tell us what they intend to do to free us from oil.Because.....the longer we stay dependent on oil, the harder reforms like fiscal federalism, resource control.....and the harder economic prosperity will come to us.

So Nigerians.....make 2015 the year of our freedom from oil. Because....oil is a curse.

I laugh when some folks say that Nigeria will disintegrate. If Nigeria divides, it will not divide into 3, 4 or 5 countries. It will divide into more than 1,000 countries. Even your own village will declare independence.

The unity of Nigeria is non-negotiable.

One Nigeria!!!!!
