Back in 2007, the Federal Government of Nigeria rejected the proposal by the US Government to establish a military base AFRICOM (African Command) in Nigeria, Now with the latest spate of insecurity battling the country left, right and center we are begging the US to move the command that has already been built in far away Germany to come to our rescue.

Yeah, wasn't necessary back then, btw they never envisaged an idle and ever-slunbering government like this will ever walk the face of Nigeria.

I think that decision was born out of goodwill to prevent neo-colonialism and a sense of pride and confidence in our potentials... which was good.

But the administrations that followed deteriorated our strength and made us fall back to a position where we may be needing something like that again.

Mr A want to set up a Security Company in Abana Town. Mr. B the Town Union Chairman and all residents of Abana said no. Their verdict was unanimous - Abana is safe. We can secure ourself. we don't want strange companies in our town. Mr A was not happy but he must devise means to achieve his aim.
That same year, trouble broke out in Abana after Some gangs were aggrieved over some minor squabble. Mr A saw his opportunity. He aligned with one gang and ensured that quarrel and fights escalated.
12 years down the fight was still on. After seeing the danger of the unquenchable war, Mr B swallowed pride and called on Mr A to come and set up his company. But Mr A doesn't want it to seem easy, so he said 'No, you are the one who rejected my offer. "

Every African president as at then probably understood AFRICOM is a colonisation decoy.
For example, France is seriously mining gold in Mali under the guise of containing insurgency.

But clueless Buhari who knows nothing about about World Politics wants to bring colonisation to Nigeria.

S#it!!!

What is necolonization when a foreign funded terrorist group overruns your country?

If you are asked a solution now, you would just go round in circles.

Nigeria must continue to reject it..

Buhari/Osinbajo incompetenc must allow to radiate.

Security situation in Nigeria is not beyond Nigeria security.

Is only the brainless government don’t have any idea on where to start.

Since they can’t support Terrorists at same time secure the country

Reason why I keep asking Yoruba people ... who are the propagating all their useless propaganda for

The igbos in diaspora
Igbos in Nigeria
Nigerians living in Nigeria
Nigerians in diaspora
International community

Who exactly are the fighting to impress

Because as it stand

None of the above take Yoruba people serious .. talk more of there propaganda or osibanjo government
