The recent pronouncement by the US government declaring Nigeria a ‘Country of Particular Concern' (CPC) and indicating possible military action should give every well-meaning Nigerian serious concern.

There is no doubt that Nigeria is experiencing an unprecedented level of insecurity with attendant carnage and the most shocking loss of lives and property. According to Amnesty International, over 10,000 people have been killed in Nigeria since May 2023 and as I have repeatedly lamented, the unwarranted and unprovoked killing of Nigerians is most condemnable, and all efforts must be made to bring it to a stop. It is equally important to state that the terrible situation is significantly avoidable with competent leadership and governance.

While the insecurity did not start with the present government, what is most unfortunate is the lack and absence of competence, commitment, prudent use of resources, patriotism and passion on the part of APC APC-led government/leaders to effectively govern, galvanise and lead Nigeria where no one is unwarrantedly oppressed and killed, a Nation where peace, truth and justice reign!

As democracies, Nigeria and the US have long been strategic partners committed to regional peace and security. That relationship should not falter. The present situation calls for constructive diplomatic and any other plausible engagement by both nations aimed at addressing the prevailing and disturbing security concerns. Both countries must work in concert and expeditiously towards that purpose. -PO

Thank you

Middle ground-- fair politics! God bless all patriots!

Tinubu trounced my candidate Obi, but if dump backs my Obi, I'm changing candidate quick time because that would be like him dividing us by tribe (which he's thankfully not stupid enough to do I hope because his tribe alone can't elect a Nigerian president), with religious bigotry which is deadly for a country like ours.

A smart Obi will go and tell dump to shut up with the lies and go fight Saudi Arabia, and a stupîd îgnorant Obi will agree with dump.

I'm watching him very closely on this.

The summary of the post is that the author is not happy with the US designation.

How can we be asking for foreign assistance and be rejecting their reports?

budaatum:
I'm delighted Peter Obi did not fall into a trap. I'd have had to start looking for a new candidate to support.

He's been even smarter than non-politician me suggested!

Flangelo12:
Which assistance?

We don't need anyone's assistance.
