You r airing propaganda news against Obama. If america hit you back with your secrets, it will be like film trick.

All our moneys jona and company are stealing are in foreign banks.

Mess with america and all these moneys and your secrets are gone.

I thought PDP and Jonathan folks will be wise not to add america to their enemy list.

We know all Nigerians are your enemy now.

Anyone that critisize the state of things is an enemy.

Some fools hiked university tuition fee by 1000%, ranting that education is not cheap in any part of the world. But it's elections season, the hiked fees have been reverted. Education magically could be cheap in this part of the world. They even promise a free meal a day for students.
Meanwhile, those who dropped out because they couldn't pay the hiked fees are still drop-outs.
LET THE FOOLS BE FOOLED....

I quite agree with some of the points raised here. It's glaring that he stopped the sale of "lethal weapons" to Nigeria. Believe me, we are almost kneeling before the US to sell us these armaments but they still refused. We sent a delegates to Israel, even the president went there himself to see and talk thinhs out with the Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyanhu, where he stated that Israel is ready to help us but US suppress Israel into selling american-made arms to Nigeria, that was stalled. Don't forget the "shame" we encounter twice in South Africa over getting arms by all means possible. They are "unargueably" the one behind the shame we encountered in SA. But today, SA had sold us REVA mraps and some truck mounted guns.

By this time tomorrow, we would have decided ..

We gambled on GEJ in 2011 and he didn't perform to our expectations. Voting him again in 2015 will be a very big gamble because there is no relection for him in 2019 and he might just take us for a circus for another 4 years.


GEJ you have tried your best (corruption, insecurity, clueless). Thank you.

Accuracy in Media (AIM), an American based non-profit, grassroots citizens watchdog of the news media that critiques botched and bungled news stories and sets the record straight on important issues that have received slanted coverage has shed more light on the possible rationale behind the Obama’s administration’s attitude to Nigeria’s war against Boko Haram.

In a piece published on its website on the Wednesday, investigative journalist, James Simpson sheds light on how the close relationship between Obama and David Axelrod (the head of AKPD Mesage and Media, and the director of President Barack Obama’s 2008 Political Campaign may have led to the sabotaging of President Goodluck Jonathan’s administrations efforts against the Islamic terror group in order to assist the chances of the All Progressives Congress (Axelrod’s latest political clients) ahead of the 2015 general elections.

AIM reports:

When the notorious Islamic terrorist group, Boko Haram, kidnapped 278 school girls from the town of Chibok in northeastern Nigeria last year, Michelle Obama began a Twitter hashtag campaign, #BringBackOurGirls. But behind the scenes, the Obama administration was undermining Nigeria’s efforts to take the battle to the terrorists. Obama refused to sell Nigeria arms and supplies critical to the fight, and stepped in to block other Western allies from doing so. The administration also denied Nigeria intelligence on Boko Haram from drones operating in the area. While Boko Haram was kidnapping school girls, the U.S. cut petroleum purchases from Nigeria to zero, plunging the nation’s economy into turmoil and raising concerns about its ability to fund its battle against the terrorists. Nigeria responded by cancelling a military training agreement between the two countries.

The Nigerian presidential election is coming up Saturday, March 28, 2015. AKPD, the political consulting group founded by Obama confidante David Axelrod, isassisting Retired Gen. Muhammadu Buhari, a Muslim presidential candidate from Muslim-dominated northern Nigeria, where Boko Haram was spawned and wields the most influence. Buhari is well-known throughout the country, having led as “Head-of-State” following a military coup in 1983. He was dislodged following another coup in 1985.

Democracy is a recent phenomenon in Nigeria. With the exception of two short periods from its independence in 1960 to 1966, and the second republic from 1979 to 1983, the country was ruled by a string of military dictatorships between 1966 and 1999.

Under the All Progressives Congress (APC) banner, Buhari is putting up a stiff challenge to the sitting president, Dr. Ebele Goodluck Jonathan who hails from Nigeria’s Christian south. Buhari was also the North’s presidential candidate in the last election held in 2011.

Axelrod is credited as the force behind President Obama’s election victories in 2008 and 2012. He served as Obama’s Senior Advisor until 2011. A well-placed Nigerian interviewed for this report who asked to remain unidentified says that influential Nigerians within and outside the government believe Obama deliberately undermined the war effort and sabotaged the Nigerian economy to make President Jonathan appear weak and ineffectual, and thus bolster the electoral prospects for AKPD’s client, Buhari.

The prominent daily Nigerian Tribune cites an activist group, Move on Nigeria,complaining that the U.S. is fueling tension in Nigeria and has “continued to publicly magnify every challenge of the Nigerian government.”

An anti-Buhari Nigerian blogger writing in the Western Postwent further:

In the last year, Nigeria sought aid from the White House for many initiatives, including the fight against Boko Haram.

The Obama administration refused to do anything but play [sic] lip service to Nigeria’s requests. However, it used public and private channels to internationally magnify every failure Nigeria’s government experienced.

In the last year, since the involvement of Axelrod’s firm, relations between the two nations have significantly deteriorated, with the US refusing to sell arms to Nigeria, a significant reduction in the purchase of Nigeria’s oil, and the cancellation of a military training agreement between Nigeria and the USA.

In turn, the Buhari-led Nigerian opposition used the U.S. government’s position as validation for their claim that the Nigerian government was a failure.

Nigerian officials seeking to purchase weapons, especially Cobra attack helicopters, were outraged at Obama’s refusal to allow these transactions. Nigeria’s ambassador to the U.S., Professor Adebowale Adefuye, stated publiclythat:

The U.S. government has up till today refused to grant Nigeria’s request to purchase lethal equipment that would have brought down the terrorists within a short time on the basis of the allegations that Nigeria’s defence forces have been violating human rights of Boko Haram suspects when captured or arrested.

We find it difficult to understand how and why, in spite of the U.S. presence in Nigeria, with their sophisticated military technology, Boko Haram should be expanding and becoming more deadly.

Another official quoted in the Nigerian newspaper ThisDay, stated:

The U.S. government has frustrated Nigeria all the way in our war against terrorism despite its public statements in support of Nigeria, as it fights the Boko Haram insurgents in the North-east… They want us to fight Boko Haram with our arms tied to our backs.

They have blocked us from procuring the helicopters and would not provide us with intelligence despite the fact that they have several drones and sophisticated aircraft overflying the North-east of Nigeria from bases in Niger and Chad where the Boko Haram fighters and movements are clearly in their sights.

Retired Col. Abubakar Umar, a former military governor, concluded that the Americans “have decided to turn a blind eye to what is happening in Nigeria.”

Former Head-of-State, Retired Gen. Yakubu Gowon publicly stated last November that America is no friend of Nigeria.

After exhausting all avenues, the Nigerian government finally turned to Russia, China and the black market to obtain needed arms, and as a result has gone aggressively on the offensive against Boko Haram, retaking some 40 townsoccupied by the group and killing at least 500 terrorists. According to recent accounts, Boko Haram has gone to ground in the northeastern border regions. But whereas the border states of Niger, Chad, Benin and Cameroon formerly took a hands-off approach, they have now joined in the effort to destroy the group, pledging a total of 8,700 troops. Most recently, Boko Haram has been cleared of its northeastern strongholds in Borno, Yobe and Adamawa.

U.S. Excuses

The Obama administration has said it is barred from supplying weapons by the so-called Leahy Amendment which forbids foreign states that have committed “gross human rights violations” from receiving military aid. However this did not stop the U.S. from sending Special Forces to Uganda—another country accused of such violations—to assist in capturing Lord Resistance Army leader Joseph Kony. Nor did it prevent Obama from supporting al Qaeda-linked rebel groups in Libya, who later went on to attack the Benghazi mission, and have now joined ISIS. The Syrian “moderates” the administration claimed to back are also allegedly joining with ISIS.

In fact, Obama supported the Islamic radicals who destabilized states throughout the Middle East, including Tunisia, Libya and Egypt, and did little to prevent Iranian-backed Shiites from overthrowing Yemen—a key ally in the War on Terror. And despite claims that the U.S. “does not negotiate with terrorists,” the administration did so in secret with the Taliban for years, most notoriously over the release of Bowe Bergdahl.

The U.S. State Department is currently negotiating a deal that will enable Iran to obtain the bomb, and it just declared that Iran and its Lebanese proxy, Hezbollah, are not terrorists. The administration even claims Iran has been an ally in the War on Terror! Finally, Axelrod’s client, Buhari, has been accused of human rights abuses during his time as chief-of-state.

To top it off, Secretary of State John Kerry made a mockery of the administration’s pretext by hinting in January meetings with both Jonathan and Buhari that the Obama administration might allow weapon sales after the election. If the U.S. was so concerned about human rights violations, how could a mere election change that? Given the perception that Buhari has Obama’s implicit support, this sends an unmistakable message.


Trash. Nigerians and their obseSsion with conspiracy theories.

Obama's behaviour towards Nigeria has been disgraceful but guess what? Its a good thing. It will help Nigeria think differently

I believe that when GEJ is re-elected Nigeria will strive to be petrol sufficient. We should refine all the petrol we use and even export petrol to other African countries

Whatever the Americans did or did not do, helped us to carry our cross ourselves. WE learnt a bitter lesson, that will never be forgotten anytime soon.

The truth is Buhari will not be as friendly with America and GEJ has been. America needs indecisive leaders like GEJ to work with but the way corruption has been entrenched in this nation is appalling to other world leaders.

Buhari is the better option. Jonathan cannot lead a corrupt free nation. That is not his style.
