I wouldnt call him that. I dont exactly agree with his choice of words but I can understand his frustrations. Maybe if we stoppped asking for hand outs and take what belongs to us we wont be where we are

Are you asking for hand outs? Has anyone stopped you from taking what's yours?

The only thing driving his frustration is an inordinate dose of ignorance. Both of you need to pick up a book sometimes.

SmartyPants:


They are sending 80 troops...as in 80 men to secure their citizens Oga. Are you suggesting that 80 soldiers deployed from Gabon can invade Congo??

Very possible, they were deployed with full military combat ready and equipments with aerial supports as well as a standby reinforcement team.

The US military has deployed soldiers to Gabon amid fears of violent protests in neighbouring Democratic Republic of Congo after its presidential election.

US President Donald Trump told Congress on Friday that the first of about 80 troops arrived in Gabon on Wednesday to protect US citizens and diplomatic facilities should violence break out in DRC’s capital Kinshasa

Voters in Congo went to the polls on December 30, two years after they were first scheduled to be held, to elect the successor to President Joseph Kabila, who has been in power for 18 years.
“The first of these personnel arrived in Gabon on January 2, 2019, with appropriate combat equipment and supported by military aircraft,” Trump’s letter to Congress read.“Additional forces may deploy to Gabon, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, or the
Republic of the Congo, if necessary for these purposes.”

“These deployed personnel will remain in the region until the security situation in the Democratic Republic of the Congo becomes such that their presence is no longer needed,” the letter continued.

Congo’s electoral commission is scheduled to release the provisional results of the presidential election on Sunday, but it has said there could be delays because of the slow arrival of tally sheets.

Do you need to invite any sane country to protect her citizens and interest when in harm's way..?

The only thing I take from this is that America value her citizens and interest no matter where they are..!!

And again for the record we should all stop blaming the west for our woes..it's shamefull..!!! Instead knocking our corrupt and rudderless leaders on the head we blame the west...!! Is it the west that embezzle our collective commonwealth or is it the west that produce bad policies made by our leaders on their populace..!!

The problem of Africa is with Africa and her leaders..period...!!!

Peace..!!

I've read a lit of comments from fools here on Nairaland who don't know what colonialism means. Many of you spewing rubbish and wishing american invasion of Nigeria. Una no well.
If you guys can't see the signs that U.S was never happy with Nigeria playing the big brother in West Africa, if you guys can't ask what some american soldiers were doing in the BH forest and were killed by Niger forces, then no hope. Why haven't they invaded Saudi over kashoogi? Na Africa dem wan come......

@topic, if true why is there a coup attempt in Gabon as of Jan 07, 2019?
