There will be weak minded ppl on both sides that will fall for it and start drawing maps on MSpaint out of joblessness and sexual frustration, but real nigerians won't flinch, this union is forever!
im proud to be igbo, im proud to be amongst the yoruba, the edo, the hausa and so forth, and im proudest to be nigerian!

Kudos to you my friend cos most Nigerians lack the brain to analyze anything, they see salvation in America forgetting the US does everything for its own interest. These mo'fukkers woulda destroyed the world if not for Obama. America is a rascist enclave.

I really hope you don't take the actions of specific posters on nairaland (yes they are always the same ones. ALWAYS!) as the real situation in Nigeria. This is the internet. Impossible is nothing on the internet. Remember that.

nobody have to work to destroy Nigeria.

It's already destroyed, and most Nigerians HATE each other.

Nigeria is already destroyed, America is only
continuing from where losers like OBJ, Atiku
and their cohorts stopped.

Your government do it all the time.

Weren't they the same folk who turned Mobutu against his friend by arming him to the teeth and plotted to assasinate Lumumba cause he wasn't pallying ball with them.

come now let us apply common sense here,

I think you are not quite sure that there's a difference between having islam in Nigeria and Nigeria becoming an islamic state. If Nigeria becomes an islamic state, sharia law, as well as other islamic rules, will be the law of the land. Unless you like sharia law, i suggest you have a rethink. If Nigeria becomes a sharia state we will become official partners to Yemen, Iran, Afgahnistan and their likes.

If you don't know, the northerners are the ones currently using divide and conquer. Why do you think the various tribes in south can never really agree and unite?

Are you trying to say that what the U.S. has analyzed is not true? So there is no Boko Haram and multiple religious violence in the north. Are many government posts not headed by hausa? No one is asking the U.S. to come and take care of the problem in Nigeria. So whether you realize it or not there are problems in Nigeria that must be fixed or else some real violence will take place.

@Poster

Thanks for this post. Im happy to see that some Nigerians know who the world's enemy is.

Do not be distracted by clones or Nigerians that have been promised "green" cards and their comments here - they are all doomed people

im not going to read you jargon cause you have nothing to do with nigeria, but lol at nigeria becoming an islamic state. they're going to force or convince AT LEAST imo state to convert to islam right?

AT LEAST imo state, talkness of the whole south and christian north?

If you're really an Igbo person, I would say "Oh my God, what a very confused nwa biafra" But, since we're on the net, anybody can claim to be anything, I will just watch you closely.
Like someone said above, America doesn't need to do anything to destroy Nigeria, all they need do is just wait for Nigeria to self-destruct, and it will at this pace.
America is destroying Nigeria, because they just caused the recent Jos riot?
Because they cause Boko Haram?
Because they cause the killing of poor Igbo and christian traders in Kano and other northern cities after most friday prayers
They caused the Hausa/Fulani islamists to place a choke-hold on Nigeria's throat?
They encourage and breed mediocrity and nepotism?
They cause inefficiency and corruption in our polity?
------The list is endless.
Am I ashamed of you, just as I was ashamed of the Igbo senator who called for a national honor for the father of the failed under-wear bomber.

Nigeria doesn't need the help of any other nation to destroy Nigeria.

They may not be able to convert all to islam, but islamic law will rule. If you're laughing at the idea that nigeria will become an islamic state, then why do the extremists kill and try to turn nigeria into an islamic state. They obviously think it's possible. If they think its possible then they will continue to kill.

This thread was set up to counter mine, so how about I post the same info here?

What follows is an except from the Guardian story, "Why Obama Hit Nigeria Very Hard, Mutallab Inquest Raises Dust"
By Martins Oloja (Abuja Bureau Chief in London)
http://www.ngrguardiannews.com/news/article13//indexn3_html?pdate=170110&ptitle=Why%20Obama%20Hit%20Nigeria%20Very%20Hard,%20Mutallab%20Inquest%20Raises%20Dust&cpdate=170110

---

Indeed, a US diplomat was last week quoted as saying that the mysterious absence of Nigeria's ailing President from the diplomatic scene at this critical juncture has been largely responsible for the impasse between Abuja and Washington DC. The veteran diplomat had asked rhetorically: "Where on earth is Nigeria's President in all this, "

The credible report on the reason the US government included Nigeria on the "high risk" terror list, had also cited absence of Nigeria's Ambassador to the United States, at this critical moment as another critical factor that shaped the negative development.

But The Guardian was told last week that the Farouk Mutallab foiled attempt to blow up a US-bound plane on Christmas day last year, was just the last straw. There are more hard, but hidden facts behind the news of blacklisting of Nigeria, according to diplomats, some of who had served in Nigeria. According to them, even as they spoke quietly, some elected leaders who had threatened to encourage Nigeria's breaking of diplomatic ties with US, are part of the trouble with Nigeria, as they play the ostrich by looking the other way when Nigerian leaders fail to deal with sectarian crises.

Specifically, one of them said: "US diplomats who have been on the Nigeria's beat for some time are aware that Nigerian leaders have not punished any of the perpetrators of sectarian crises in the northern parts of the country. They have always arrested religious rioters, charged them to court and released them without diligent prosecution, we know this, They have never used any Commission of Inquiry reports to punish any perpetrators or to chart the way forward, "

The former diplomat revealed further: "We have also noted that when Intelligence and Security agencies file warning reports to the central government on how to prevent sectarian crises, the government has always failed to direct action agencies to prosecute perpetrators diligently. This has led to belief within the Western diplomatic community that Nigeria's Government shields misguided elements who abuse Islamic religion to perpetrate evil, including terror within the country, "

"Besides, we read how the horrible Boko Haram mayhem in Borno State would have been averted if the federal government had made use of the many intelligence reports filed to deal with the planners. Now we are aware that there is a very educated sectarian leader in Zaria, Kaduna state, (in North West, Nigeria) who has been training militants to disturb the peace of the Country."

. . .

"We are aware that the militants, like the Boko Haram masterminds, want leaders to embrace Islam as state religion, So, we are rather amused when your critics of the new American policy say that Nigeria is not a breeding ground for terrorists, For us, Nigeria is a fertile ground and that was how Farouk was born and bred, We are aware that Farouk Mutallab is not alone. What of the very credible story (in The Guardian, Nigeria) that two sons of two former Chief Justices of Nigeria are also involved? We are aware that the two former Chief Justices are Moslems from the North too, "

Further inquiries by The Guardian revealed that American diplomats also believe that Nigerian leaders pay only lip service to the secularity status enshrined in the country's constitution.
Those who spoke frankly on the classification of Nigeria as a "high risk" terror zone said available facts and figures of the composition of the federal government and the Nation's capital, which should be symbol of Nigeria's unity, are paradigm of how Nigeria drifts officially towards an Islamic state.

This is what he said: "The chief executives of Federal Radio Corporation of Nigeria, Voice of Nigeria, Nigerian Television Authority are all Moslems and from the North, The Chairman of Aso Radio, the General Manager of Aso Radio, the General Manager of Aso Television are all from the North and they are all Moslems, "

Our diplomatic source said, last November, 95, 700 Nigerians mostly from the North joined about two million Moslems from all over the world on pilgrimage to Mecca. Nigeria is said to produce the second largest number after Indonesia in this seasonal pilgrimage to Mecca, and some northern states in Nigeria have introduced Sharia laws in their states despite the secularity the constitution provides, "

"What is more, this is the region where they always organise processions and chants of anti-Israeli and anti-American slogans with impunity, No one checks this and many more".

America is indeed plotting the downfall of nigeria, we must stand united!!!

I love your spirit.

We need more people like you.

People who can think without tribal/racial sentiments and inferiority complex.

All of Y'all who said Nigeria is already destroyed, Y'all so right, I mean, the United State ain gat Nigeria's time;they gat better things to deal wif. Nigerians and their M****d F********ng governement  are the ones destroying Nigeria,  Y'all stand up against the bad government and y'all  try to be better citizens and stop tryna put a blame on innocent U.S. Charity begins @ home.

@beaf

Your article is very true

It basically highlights the problems of Nigeria - leaders that look but do nothing but misappropriate state funds.

And that is the root of all our problems.

We have the laws, but nobody to implement them leading to chaos.

this poster is the most intelligent fool that i have met in the recent times.
america destroying nigeria? wow, is not ur fault my dear.
on the other hand, the objs, tony annenihs, atikus, ibbs, bode georges are the ones promoting nigeria?
@poster, had it been that u are not stupid, u would have been stupid plus.

I'd prefer to be ruled by america than be ruled by megidas or britons. Imagine we southernes being ruled by peers that cannot compete in any way with us

It is quite absurd for anyone to suggest that the US working to destabilize Nigeria.

No black nation on earth is more favored by the US in any category you can imagine than Nigeria. From the US visa lottery to monetary and technical aid to trade preferences, Nigeria had always topped America's roster of favored nations in Africa. Unfortunately, Nigeria has failed to utilize its preferred status (and in some cases abused it) for internal development.

Recently, it was revealed that Nigeria has failed -- a word that is now becoming synonymous with Nigeria -- to take advantage of the US Africa Growth and Opportunity Act (a law passed by the US Congress) to promote its manufactured goods in the US because Nigeria produces few such goods that can meet America's quality standards. The Chinese, Japanese, Koreans, Europeans, South Americans all sell manufactured goods in the US market because they do the necessary due diligence to satisfy the safety and quality demands of the American consumer.

Nigeria, on the other, has never bothered to work hard to develop its industrial base other than the promotion of its “naturally sweet” crude oil. Nigeria's leadership has failed time and again to seize the goodwill and assistance of the United States to raise the nation to economic and political prominence in the world. Rather, the ruling elite could see no further than milking the ND of its crude oil to feed unproductive states in certain parts of the country and line the pockets of the political elite.

The US, Canada, Britain, France, Germany Australia, Japan – name any industrialized democracy – once placed their bet on Nigeria to be catalyst for democracy, industrialization and poverty alleviation in Sub-Saharan Africa. A developed Nigeria, the reasoning went at one time, would anchor democratic and economic renaissance in Black Africa. But corruption, incompetence, myopic vision and greed of the ruling class continue to damper that hope.

America would want nothing more than a stable and prosperous Nigeria. Such socio-economic order in Nigeria would not only open up the country to US goods and technology, it would usher in a long-sought period of peace, stability and prosperity in Africa. So, in that respect, Nigeria is not only failing the West, it is failing Africa and the black race as well.

I bet you, if they do so, they will regret it!

@poster, u must be a frustrated poster or u have not owned up to ur tribe and religion! Onye awusa terrorist dika gi.

At poster Sleep dey catch. Abegi go sleep, when you wake up you can  come and review this your crap called comment. We are distroying Nigeria with our own hands, so please dont blame America for it. America Never adviced your power monger president to leave the country without a proper hand over. They asked your brothers to looth the nation dry, neither did they taught them how to be greedy and stupi.d

pcmecom:

America is indeed plotting the downfall of nigeria, we must stand united!!!

There is no downfall for a country that's already fallen

pcmecom:

America is indeed plotting the downfall of nigeria, we must stand united!!!

Get off from your silly high horse please. What will America gain by the downfall of Nigeria apart from your refugee citizens flooding to America uninvited?. Did America kidnap Yaradua?. Did America ask IBB, OBJ, Abacha and co to steal Nigeria to rubbles?. Did America start the Jos riot yesterday?. You wonder why Obama snubbed Nigeria and went to Ghana instead. Stop pointing fingers and look for a way to solve your problem.

When I tell you now that Nigeria is a hell hole, you will defend yourself by claiming that there are places like that in Nigeria. Always looking for an excuse to justify our pitiful state.

Some peeps are paid to distract people's attention from what is on ground - AWOL mr presido.


How many times has the christians in the southern part of nigeria attacked moslems. Check nigeria's history none. It has always been the other way round. may be you think moslems don't go against christian beliefs in the south or the southerners are afraid of the moslems, see what they do to each other when there is any dispute.  The southerners are not gullible to fight on religious grounds as their northern brothers do

@poster,
i can bet with anything, ur mother,father and great grand parents have nothing to do with the igbos hence u are nowhere close to the igbos.
why make ur topic to be" obama is planing to attack nigeria"
idiot, if you don't have anything to post here, go and sleep.

you ppl speak from ignorance

1. Nigeria is a federal republic, if some states in the north want to have sharia, its in the constitution that they have the right being a FEDERAL REPUBLIC.

2. Nobody will ever introduce sharia law into abia state, edo state, delta, imo, anambra, and i can't speak for the yoruba states but obviously not them either, so what's your point pp

3. you people just like to complain and blame. It's ok, that's how god made you, but please leave my country alone. you're not nigerians.

I think you are not quite sure that there's a difference between having islam in Nigeria and Nigeria becoming an islamic state. If Nigeria becomes an islamic state, sharia law, as well as other islamic rules, will be the law of the land. Unless you like sharia law, i suggest you have a rethink. If Nigeria becomes a sharia state we will become official partners to Yemen, Iran, Afgahnistan and their likes.
that was embarrassing and ignorant, but come to my village in Imo and tell us about Sharia Law and see if they won't burn your father lol
If you don't know, the northerners are the ones currently using divide and conquer. Why do you think the various tribes in south can never really agree and unite?
very ignoranty. Ther reason is because the soutner tribes have nothing to do with eachother, they just happen to be [color=#006600]south of nigeria, but nobody divde the yoruba from the igbo or the edo from the delta cause they're all seperate entities to begin with.

i can bet my life there's more neo nazis in the US then boko haram in nigeria, which are almost toally wiped out by shift and effiecent action on the part of the nigerian government HEADED by a muslim! unlike the neo nazi, sklin head, and black gangs in the US

NAIJA KWENU!!

even with Eko Atlantic begin built in NIGERIA and nowhere in the west nigerians still make noise.

we're complainers by nature, so it's ok for everyone here to be and idiot or whatever, im just aware that there's a tremendous amount of development being done in nigeria by private and public figures and institutions, as well as eye poppin success stories and i have no reason to argue it with someone that's ignorant and prone to complaining on the internet because they're impotent

what i will say is that it's obvious america is working towards a break up of nigeria, possibly to derail chinese interests, which is my theory and move in for a kill on weaker smaller states they hope to see arise from nigeria.
it won't happen, and we're steadily working to surpass them day by day.

ppl look at the yar adua thing as a sign of a bleeped up country, i look at the fact that we can go 2 months with no government and the country is still intact and peaceful. try that anywhere else.
