"We'll work with Buhari," Says U.S by XBLadez: 6:35am On Apr 17, 2015
The United States Vice President Joe Biden on Wednesday assured the President-elect, Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), that the US government was willing and ready to work with him.

According to a statement issued by the White House on Thursday, the US Vice President said this when he phoned Buhari to congratulate him on his victory in the March 28 election on Wednesday.

It added that Biden affirmed that the “United States of America stands ready to expand collaboration with Nigeria on issues of common concern, including economic and security matters.”

The Vice President also commended Buhari for his leadership in helping to ensure that the elections were conducted peacefully and urged him to continue to foster a smooth, inclusive, and peaceful transition with President Goodluck Jonathan.

The statement added, “The Vice President expressed the United States’ support for Nigeria’s efforts to counter Boko Haram, recover hostages held by the group, and protect civilian populations. The Vice President also expressed the willingness of the United States to partner Nigeria to strengthen its economy.”

Earlier in the week, the President-elect had said that Nigeria would work closely with the US government especially in the area of military cooperation and security.

You see your life Nigeria? An american president wants to talk to an iraqi president, he calls him direct. An American president wants to talk to an Afghan president? He calls him direct. But when he wants to pass some instructions to a nigerian president, he deligates the job to either one lanky-out of sort-secretary of state or to his vice. Mind you Nigeria is the biggest economy in Africa, the biggest concentration of black people in the world, accounting for at least one in every five black people in the planet! Her size alone, her numbers alone, her pivotal regional clout over the years are enough to attract some respect from the so called 'first American black president. But Obama won't bulge! From day one, he has treated Nigeria with utmost levity while our cantankerous brand of wreckless oppossition with their NADECO styled type of oppossition lapped it up.

It is a diplomatic thunderous slap when the prime minister of Britain visits Nigeria and insists he will only meet Jonathan in Lagos and not the seat of power in Abuja. It amounts to a well crafted diplomatic insult, when an ORDINARY American sec of state is delegated to visit the Nigerian leadership, and he too insists on stoping at Lagos. When an ordinary diplomat starts awarding 'medals of (warped) honour' to Jega, our INEC cheif , at the middle of a general election, iit is a direct interference with our countrys domestic issues and should merit the diplomat in question the status of a 'persona non grata'! For eight years, Obama has avoided Nigeria like we are some kind of leprosy camp,, yet he salivates at every oppurtuinity to ridicule Nigeria. Even before he became president. He it was as a senator, who insisted that Nigeria must swallow the humble pie and surrender Taylor before Nigerias debt releif could be negotiated. He reduced President Bush HIV/AIDS subsidy drug for Africa. Infact Obamas has always biult his no nonsense character on the back of suffering African economies and people.

Success has many friends. God, make me so successful that my enemies would have no choice but to bow and tremble.

Gani Adams is already praise-singing buhari, dangote and otedola who have consistently funded jonathan's campaigns have made Daura their new residence.

Fayose was the first to issue a congratulatory statement when janathan lost,Buruji kashamu says Tinubu is his political mentor. Even the USA that despised us has started courting us.

You already working with him. Tinubu was released from jail on serious charges and given Lagos as a gift. Now they will cash in on the favor bank. The elections was US manipulated. GeJ close relationship with China and steady progress was a thorn in US side. His promise to force foreign oil companies to partner with 9ja corporations was a threat to those companies underhanded drilling techniques and unreported amounts being extracted. Nigerians should get ready for a new form of colonization under US power it is never pretty when they set sights on a developing nation. World Bank is already predicting food shortage.

Like Buhari already said Nigerians have to suffer for 5 years your change is here.

This is what i dislike like ebola. America doesn't have anything good for us. So many hypocrisies.
Nigeria, you better beware of America SUDDEN romance with us. Believe me, if America have any interest inNigeria, we have to be on a hair-alert because they would do ANYTHING to scuttle the progress of a perceived threat to their dominance.
Am really wary of America "Trojan horse" sudden romance.

Together with the NADECO clan who rather than stay here and fight. They prefered to run away to western capitals, insulting Nigeria and all her basic institutions from one western media house to the other thereby tarnishing the countrys image beyound repair. If they were not on BBC, they were on CNN and VOA, labelling the country with all sorts of spurious raw charges, forcing the hands of different Nigerias political leadership to undercut the national interest in order to be in the much vaunted good books of the so called super powers. It will be very intereesting to see how they will deal with being treated like kindergartens by foreign powers now they are the ones in power.

All the Latin American countries resisted U.S. interference in their affairs because they know (onye no mmadu nso, na anu isi eze ya) the evil U.S perpetrates in the name of assistance.
The achievements of GEJ was without them, Buhari can also do so. America is only interested in their interest which is exploiting every available resource in any country to their benefit & at the detriment of that country & it's citizens.
China is a better partner than the neo colonist America.

BUHARI BEWARE OF AMERICA.

And I see people shouting Gay! Sodomy! Homosexuality! all because American government is pledging support. How people manage to think that GMB will be manipulated & thereafter legalise all of those sh×t is what I don't get. Remember any such law still needs to get the approval of a certain fraction of the legislative chamber.

NADECO has always been a joke to me, a group that almost got destroyed in the Abacha regime. Their own is to bark from afar

Buhari is not legalizing any gay nonsense. The Americans are not even interested in that. . Keep your eyes on the pro-western trade deal between Europe and west Africa which president Jonathan rebuffed because it will open our borders to all kinds of dumps from Europe. That deal will soon be signed in secret while all these CIA owned media houses in Nigeria look the other way. Watch as a more favourable China investment deals are ignored for some slavish alliances with the west. We will still be a "royalty" oil producing country as shell and co take 60% while leaving Nigerias multitude with a paltry 40%. . Gays, christians, minorites etc can go and die as long as these horrendeously anti Nigerian wishlists are fufilled.
