…Boosts military assistance

The United States will offer to help Nigeria’s government to track down billions of dollars in stolen assets and increase military assistance to fight insurgents, U.S. officials said, as Washington seeks to “reset” ties with Africa’s biggest economy.

Next week’s visit to Washington by President Muhammadu Buhari is viewed by the U.S. administration as a chance to set the seal on improving ties since he won a March election hailed as Nigeria’s first democratic power transition in decades, Reuters reports.

U.S. cooperation with Buhari’s predecessor, Goodluck Jonathan, had virtually ground to a halt over issues including his refusal to investigate corruption and human rights abuses by the Nigerian military.

“President (Barack Obama) has long seen Nigeria as arguably the most important strategic country in sub-Saharan Africa,” U.S Deputy Secretary of State, Tony Blinken, told Reuters.

“The question is would there be an opportunity to deepen our engagement and that opportunity is now.”

The improving ties with Nigeria, Africa’s biggest oil producer, come as U.S relations have cooled with two other traditional Africa powers – Egypt and South Africa.

U.S officials have said they are willing to send military trainers to help Nigeria counter a six-year-old northern insurgency by the Boko Haram sect.
Since Buhari’s election, Washington has committed $5 million in new support for a multi-national task force set up to fight the group.

This is in addition to at least $34 million it is providing to Nigeria, Chad, Cameroon and Niger for equipment and logistics.

From G7 wishlist to America assets recovery, when did Nigeria sell her soverignty to western powers?

Don't bother about who they will start with? It Is their headache! What should matter is repatriating the illegal and stolen wealth stashed in their own domain.

@ post: I see the usual pathogens flooding this thread and Wailing for the love of Christ. So depressing seeing how miserable life has become for these guys.

Why can't they simply put an end to the misery by doing themselves in? I think its a viable option considering how much longer they would remain in their present condition.

I am sure it will be in a chronological order, beginning from 1999

1999 - 2007 - Ahmed Tinubu (Looted LAG Treasury)

1999 - 2007 - OBJ (Grand Patron of corruption)

1999 - 2007 - Atiku Abubakar (Asst. Grand Patron of corruption)

1999 - 2015 - Rotimi Amaechi (Stealing Rivers money since the beginning of democracy)

2010 - 2015 - GEJ (Please share your findings...)

The US ruling Nigeria by proxy may decide to go back to history... 1960 to date (OBJ, GMB, Abdulsalam, etc)

We are waiting...

So you think, trying to recover looted assets stashed away in foreign accounts by crooks who have impoverished our country, with the help of friendly nations, amounts to selling our sovereignty?

Wow! clap for yourself - another obviously pained wailing Wailer.
