I don’t think these people are interested in helping us solve the problem they’ll only look at how the USA can benefit from all these trouble and since “one Nigeria provides an unending opportunity for the West to milk our resources for free. It would be in their interest to keep Nigeria as one country

CSTRR:
China is more influential in Africa than even in south east Asia where they come from.

But the US has pivoted their military to Asia to contain them while they left Africa alone to China.

Why?
Interests.

There is nothing in Africa worth their time.

No country in Africa is relevant enough to warrant American attention of that scale.

America is ready go to war for Taiwan a mere tiny island, less than the size of Edo state.

Why?
Taiwan is a the world's largest supplier of semi conductor chips.

They are more relevant to the world than all of Africa combined.

US can't spill a single blood of her soldier because of Taiwan, Taiwan is too insignificant in terms of trade btw China and US. US and European countries didn't recognize Taiwan as an independent state, only 15 countries recognized them in the whole world. Taiwan economy depends majorly on China. Chinese military had surrounded Taiwan from time immemorial but they don't want forceful take over unless they legally pronounce independent. China is the second largest economy in the world with the capacity to overtake US. Nothing serious about Taiwan than the fact that US is looking for where to strategically place their military base and looking for what to use to frustrate China. How can Taiwan be relevant than the whole African?

International embarrassment loading. Every notable world leader has shunned Nigeria since 2015 simply because we have a lifeless man as the president.

I remember when George Shultz came to Nigeria in 1986 or '87 and US Marines took over the Murtala Muhammed Airport a few days before his arrival. There were angry articles in the newspapers condemning the government for allowing the marines to take over our airport.

Lots of US secretaries of state have visited since then, latest being Rex Tillerson in 2018 (Pic 1).

3) Condoleezza Rice

JOE BIDEN WILL LIKELY NOT GET A SECOND TERM.

He has disappointed a large number of Nigerians, Africans and even his own american people.

He knows that very CLEARLY that 2nd term is a no go area for him.

I think Joe Biden lack the flair that previous american President has which means that boldness to control world affairs and influence things to creating positive change.

Under Joe Biden, China is becoming more stronger and playing the centre stage.

The american government embarrasingly withdraw from Afghanistan creating room for the taliban to unleash mayhelm on their citizen.

I PREFER THE NOT SO FANCY TRUMP than JOE BIDEN whose vision for america and the world is not clear but remain obscure.

FOR SURE JOE BIDEN IS NOT GOING TO GET A SECOND TERM.

Unless miracle happen or he modify his style of governance.

A second bad aspect of Joe Biden is the way he has been SIDELINING his Vice President.

The Vice President is not been givening the responsibility that should befit her office.

JOE BIDEN is practising MONOPOLY.

You're right... It was embarassing. When Muamar Ghadafi also visited
Nigeria, his elite female bodyguards
were stationed all over the place. It was like the Libyans telling the
Nigerian intelligence teams:
"We don't trust you guys."

That was one of the advantages of FFK when he was minister of aviation.

Ghaddafi had a habit of pulling a similar stunt, but FFK refused to allow it when he was minister. It led to a standoff.

There's usually an agreed number of armed bodyguards that are allowed by the host country, but the Libyans brought more than the agreed amount and wanted them to be allowed into Abuja. Airport security refused. There was a standoff and Ghaddafi began walking away from the airport on foot. President Obasanjo was finally able to pacify Ghaddafi and a solution was reached, but the Libyans were still not allowed to bring all those armed women into Abuja.


Modified: Aha! Here's a report about the incident. https://allafrica.com/stories/200611290269.html

I can still remember the news reports when George Shultz came. The marines weren't part of his motorcade, neither were they there to guard him directly (that was the job of the Secret Service). Rather, they arrived a few days beforehand with sniffer dogs and other equipment and began screening people that were going through the airport. That's exactly what annoyed Nigerian journalists. I remember that Vanguard had a huge front page headline about the incident. They said that it was a shame and that the government should never have allowed it.

Hello!
I read that your legendary thread in 2017 but I never believed you. Not until I discovered the antiwork subreddit. I saw Americans living from hand to mouth and even calling their country a shithole. Some were even asking for Europe to colonize them. These guys are graduates but still working till 80years just to afford basic necessities. Most of them have three to four jobs. And these are white people o! Which means black people's case is worse.
Mehn thank you for all you do. I know your work is unappreciated here but my eyes are now opened.
