@La faria,
Who owned  the Libya military? Quadaffi or the Libyan people?

Which sovereign nation , these days, and with all that has transpired globally, would welcome America on it soil deployed against insurgency? The minute you 'invite' America to 'help' is the minute your Nation become the new arena to fight the "infidel imperialists" . You diasporan rabble rousers have the luxury of saying what you want but this move , in reality , will be bad for Nigeria. Boko Haram will get massive support , financial and human, from virtually every terrorist group opposed to the "imperialist" ways of the USA.

We can only imagine the potential chaos in a Nation pre-disposed poorly to confronting this type of problem because of how the basics , as per intelligence collation and adequate readiness for geurilla type warfare, are non-existent. How much success did the allies have in 'taming' Iraq or Afghanistan? I still doubt that GEJ will allow this to happen. He is not a good leader but I can't believe he is so myopic he won't see the problems this will throw up with how virtually all radical terrorists groups will then deem Nigeria , with majority muslim population according to statistics, as supportive of America's essentially "Christian crusade" ideology as popularised by George Bush Jr.

We have a large muslim population and , if this go down, it will be interpreted , even by moderate muslims, as GEJ inviting "the most anti-Islamic nation on earth" to "slaughter muslims in their own Nation".

Why not simply do what is best, easiest and far less destabilizing i.e go after the sponsors of Boko Haram you have told us are already identified to include a "former head of State"

Don't be surprised if you find out too late who is really financing BH for ulterior motives. The military industrial complex plays both sides of conflict to make war, and sell weapons, destroy nations and then rebuild them.






Eritrea: We can't supply Somali militants weapons
NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) — Eritrea's ambassador to Kenya said Friday that there is no proof to back allegations that Eritrea supplied three planeloads of weapons to al-Qaida-linked militants in Somalia being pursued by the Kenyan army.
Beyene Russom told The Associated Press that it would be impossible for the small, East Africa country to supply weapons because it is under a U.N. arms embargo and is being monitored by the U.S. government and the U.N.
"We can't do that because it is a very complicated operation," Russom said. "We do not have the capacity to bring three planes in two days, crossing the airspace of Djibouti, crossing the Red Sea and entering the Indian Ocean and entering Somalia airspace, unloading and flying back in this highly militarized area."

playmode:

You Sir are always on point,well said.The USA has no interest in going after the boko haram sponsors because they probably funded those sponsors through their numerous covert ops.This is the New World Order ,it is here to stay and there is nothing we can do about it.Many people are still blinded by the blue white red stripes that they do not realize the potential danger this move posses to the ordinary Nigerian who does not have an escape route when the poo hits the fan.

It is obvious that Nigerians will never wake up so i will suggest to those who are aware of the truth to make back up plans for their family members to escape to safety when the attacks become unbearable.

Konjour:

Its funny people are personalizing the oil,they're coming for "our" oil again making it look as if the Americans are just coming in into

Nigeria for the 1st time. Perhaps,if the Nigerian government had treated its citizenry like it was "our" oil accordingly,maybe there might not

have been so many militants and terrorists in Nigeria in the 1st place. The oil in Nigeria has not made the life of an average Nigerian better

than the lives of lots of non-oil producing nations,the oil pump prices,i heard,are going to shoot up next year again,so i wouldn't be

perturbed about Americans coming to steal "our" oil. If they could succeed in alleviating the threats posed by Boko Haram to Nigerians,they'd

have done more for most Nigerians than the government has done with the oil and the revenue it generates.

justwise:

I really hope this news is true, i can't wait to see US drones hitting targets and blowing some fools up.

They can take the ''oil'', what have we done with the oil anyway, the oil is actually a curse to Nigeria, so who cares!!!

chuqudy:

I laugh at the comments of some hausa and yoruba people make here. They say "the US wants to steal our oil."  Is there oil in hausa or yoruba land?

namfav:

there is oil in nigeria, and hausa and yoruba land belong to nigeria

Beaf:

The US is most welcome.
Lets have roast haram for xmas.

Ogbonaikenna:

I[b] would prefer the white to take our oil that for a black [/b]

goggs:

Well, I dont think the Americans wil deploy troops on the ground for a full scale war. Americans have no stomach for it. i think it will be more of intelligence training, and surveillance assistance eg satellite surveillance, intelligence processing and advisors.

The American understand the risks of putting men on the ground. Many Nigerians, not just northerners or muslims will oppose. We still have pride na. But assistance is no harm. Was it not sometime ago that the Isrealis offered counter terrorism help and trained some police and SS people? Canada did the same so did US.

The Nigerian security apparatus is facing a new challenge, they need all the help they can get, but it must be  done with the sensibilities of the citizen so we dont create fresh problems. Especially when the world knows that  the US seldom give their time and expertise for free. I am sure the Government is aware of this.

btlasisi:

I am ashamed of you. your ID does not even depict your personalty. I am sure u do not live in this country and that explains your comment.

Mention one county in the world in which America has carried out this type of operation that is at peace today and their security situation now is not worse than it was?

I do hope your family and other Innocent people families will not be mistakenly blown up in the process.

Kobojunkie:

Chevron, BP, Schlaumberger . . . . already companies based in the west and already drilling and processing oil in Nigeria. So how in the world will US steal your oil when you have had the west in your backyard since the beginning?  And how does this equate to INVASION the US/WEST has been training and helping train your armed forces, and police since before your mothers and fathers even thought of you?

The US/WEST has been in Nigeria for decades. . . . long before your 'conspiracy theory' minds even developed, but now you want to turn this into some story about invasion? Those of you still deluding yourselves that there is still something out there left for the WEST to steal from you, I say you snap out of that delusion. They have touched it all and you are no longer special. You are no afghanistan or Iraq. Nigeria was opened up and sliced apart back before 1960's.
