I won't be surprised if Biden cancels our weapons consignment from America that we already paid for.

Human Rights is important.

That is what I feel too.

Trump was very good for the buhari administration.

He ignored human rights violations while selling the Nigerian military weapons.
He basically adopted a "it is not my business" mentality.

Buhari would have loved that.

Unfortunately for him, Biden is for #Endsars.

He would not look away.

President Muhammadu Buhari and his administration officials are reportedly not comfortable with the victory of Joe Biden.

The Democratic candidate will be sworn in as the 46th President of the United States of America.



This will happen if the incumbent Donald Trump fails in his bid to stop Biden through the Supreme Court.


The President insists his challenger did not win the November 3 poll. His legal action starts Monday.

On Sunday, Joe Parkinson, Africa Bureau Chief for the Wall Street Journal, noted that Buhari and the federal authorities are apprehensive about a Biden presidency.

Noting that Barack Obama and Biden, as U.S. President and Vice President, endorsed Buhari ahead of the 2015 election, the Pulitzer Prize finalist said that days of romance are long gone.


Parkinson cited Biden’s condemnation of the rights abuses and the Lekki shooting that sparked global outrage.

On October 20, Nigerian Army troops marched to the Lekki toll plaza and opened fire on unarmed End SARS protesters waving Nigerian flags and chanting the national anthem.

Parkinson said Buhari was one of the first African leaders to congratulate Biden but privately, some of his key advisors were hoping for a Trump victory and are worried.

“The reasons are quite simple and are linked – human rights, the #EndSARS protests, and weapon sales,” he tweeted.

Referring to an image showing Buhari and Biden, he wrote: “This photo was taken in Washington in 2015 when Buhari was toast of the town – the old General’s “new broom” would sweep away corruption and (far more important to US) beat back Boko Haram.”

The analyst said it was Biden who greeted Buhari at the White House that day before he met Obama.

Parkinson recalled that in those meetings, Obama promised Nigeria fresh military aid to fight the war and find the Chibok girls terrorists kidnapped.

He added that America stopped short of giving Buhari and his government what they really wanted – attack aircraft – because of human rights concerns.

[b]Parkinson said it was the Trump administration agreed to sell Super Tucanos for $600million and later, attack helicopters Nigeria has long hoped would be the game changer in the fight against Boko Haram.

“That sale – while mostly paid for – is not yet complete. Ironically, senior State Department officials were staying at the Abuja Hilton in October to finalise the details while #EndSARS protesters were on the streets in Nigerian cities. And therein lies the problem for Buhari.

“The Biden campaign released a statement two days before the Trump administration after the military crackdown at Lekki toll gate. It went much further, saying “The US must stand with Nigerians who are peacefully demonstrating.”

“The heady days of 2015 when Buhari was seen by Obama & Biden as the man who would fight a quick and victorious war against Boko Haram are long gone. The war has metastasised. Northeast Nigeria has become the base of one of Islamic State’s most successful regional franchises – ISWAP.

“So President Biden may be much less welcoming to Buhari; much more skeptical about selling weapons to Nigeria’s military and much more forthright in criticising any crackdown on protests. That’s why, despite the tweets, some at the top of the Buhari administration are nervous”, Parkinson added.

Dem no dey shame.
No reality show dem from get partner.

helinues:
Where was it located? Which country or continent?

Given by biblical description, anything it would have been in modern day Iraq or turkey.

Brain drain in the East.
It's a serious problem.

And it will keep reflecting poorly on igbos everywhere.

Jackson105:
So, why didn't u guys beat Man U with ur world class keeper?

We were trying to learn how to keep a clean sheet.

We didn't unleash our full attacking powers on United.

Since that game, we have been keeping clean sheets until today.

Liverpool, West Brom and Southampton should count themselves lucky for playing Chelsea at the beginning of the season and with woeful kepa.

I need a United victory today.

They must not sack ole.

That is why men should always be kind to their fellow men.

They don't have the same advantage women have.

Miracle2020:
Only fools will believe ipob are not terrorist. These terrorists killed soldiers and carried away their weapons on many occasions, they killed policemen and burnt down their stations and patrol vans at any opportunity. Yet some idiots will say they are armless civilians.

Security officers were killed across many states too.
Police stations were burnt in many states were burnt.

Why are you not calling citizens of those other states terrorists?

Do you even know the meaning of terrorism?

Buhari gave them that tag long before they even became violent.
That is why it holds no water outside Nigeria.

SuperBold:
They killed people and police men
Extort people during endsars
Killed soldiers and take away their weapons
Destroyed two place of worship in Nsukka
Destroyed Hausa market, burned everything to the ground

If they are not terrorist.....Boko Haram are innocent

You have proof of this?

Most of what you said they did was also done across many Nigerian states during the end SARS protests.

It's called a riot.

It's criminalism and not terrorism.

A terrorist seeks to create terror among the general population.

Comparing them to Boko means you don't know what you are talking about.

I have heard of this rail so much that you will think it is the solution to Nigeria's problems.

Apc supporters with an agenda.

Nigeria is governed by criminals.

Terrorist according to who?

Ipob are an annoying irritant, but calling them terrorists is a joke.
Nobody will take you seriously outside Nigeria.

Terrorism is no child's play.

HalimaIsrael2:
How much is Nigeria's entire GDP & average annual FDI? People go grant newspaper interview begin call their self expert, olodo expert.

It is not to Nigeria alone.

Read the title well.

I don't blame them.

There's nothing like giving your future children American citizenship and securing your own future.

It's worth fighting over.

I"d rather they fight over this, than fight over one broke guy somewhere with good prickk.

These are smart ladies.

baggioni:
Better, any protester whether peace or violent should be arrested straight away.
We cannot allow hoodlums under the guise of "peaceful" protest to to start another mayhem. Arrest them all

After they have arrested the peaceful protesters, I hope your father is a big politician with access to the Nigerian milk and honey.

If you are part of the ordinary masses, then your case is beyond remedy.

This is why US citizens refuse to give up their guns.

To prevent an autocratic govt from ever rising up.

BennyDGreat:
Who's the author?

The title is *kill fear before fear kills you*

The author is J.P Vaswani.

There is a book called freedom from FEAR.

When you read it you will know It is not normal to FEAR death.

And there are people who have no fear of anything.
Normal human beings.

I no blame you.

Na the yeye girl wey spread leg.

Ferrocene:
How about settling with a virgin then she chooses to explore others, curious of how having sex with others feels like.

It doesn't happen often. It can happen, but it is rare.

What she did not try when single, is it in marriage she will now do it?

Honestly, marriage is easy.
At least as a guy.

If I want to get married next week, I can.

Nigerians can't kiss.

Elfaris:
Lol it's obvious you and your disgusting deranged set of clowns are the agents of darkness. I never mentioned names but since you know yourselves, you popped up. Y'all cry and shout all over the place, calling the country all sorts of names but your deluded selves have done nothing to improve your region in any way to buttress your point of having a separate country. Go fix yourselves first. mtcheew.

My region?
What's my region? Did I state my region?

Your brain cells are countable.

I am sure you have not eaten today.
