[quote author=Built2last post=63498685]It was a wanton charade by UN. That election is a diplomatic misfire that should not have happened. U.S is a sovereign nation with right to move their capital and recognize any place in the world.

The vote against that decision is so useless that it will further show how weak UN has become. Nothing will happen to U.S and Israel. That decision of Trump stands.

America carries 22 percent of entire UN budget. If they withdraw that. UN will retrench staff for the first time in History. Humanitarian aid world over will feel the impact.

The vote was wrongly timed. Diplomatic reach out should have continued....see Nigeria wey dey beg U.S for military arms and support dey vote against them. Issoari[/quote]

Welcome back!!! At the bolded, haven't you heard Buhari is not a smart person?

SoNature:
A funny country like Nigeria is still trying to deal with basic challenges like tribalism, nepotism, corruption, and religion, and here you are talking about self-reliance.

To the topic now, I just like that President Trump is a man with lots of guts. The act to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel has been in US Constitution for about 20 years but previous American presidents were scared of implementing it until Mr. Trump did.

I watched the US rep to the UN emphasize on US monetary, military and humanitarian contributions to the United Nations and the world over. Truly, I just hope they don't withdraw those. Because if they do, the Nigeria I know too well is in trouble, and China and Russia are not willing enough to play the helpful role of the US around the world.

Dependence itself breeds corruption and it is corruption that allows problems like nepotism to thrive. Are you not ashamed that in the 21st century, your country still imports little things like toothpicks and pencils? You think we can overlook self-reliance to tackle corruption?

Now, to the topic. You like Trump because he appears to have guts but guts belong only to the stone age. This age is an age of brains and diplomacy. Claims to the ownership of Jerusalem has always been very hotly contested between the mostly Jewish Isreali state and the mostly Arabian Palestinian state. Jerusalem holds just as much significance to the Jewish people as it holds for the Arabs and Christians. The claims are always contentious and the city was thus stated as belonging to both states as a measure to curb violence pending when a much better solution is proffered. So far, a succession of American presidents have obeyed the decision only for Trump to come and disrupt it.

Can I ask you a simple question:

How has Trump helped solve the lingering conflict over Jerusalem?

Johnrake69:
If only we had a leader like Trump in Nigeria we would have been better off. Virtually everything he said during his campaign is what he is implementing. Let Buhari implement just 10% of what he said before his election into office.

God forbid, I reject it on behalf of Nigeria.

Nigeria will move from Frying Pan to Fire with him...All his dictatorship tendencies will come out, because this is a state without respect for the rule of law. He will line up his pocket and be the richest man in the world. Hatred and Bigotry will shoot of the roof.

What campaign promises did he fulfill? All the hatred promises? All the anti-Obama policies? he's only being able to pass one or two laws through the House.

My bro China is ready to play that role for a short time and earn US allies to herself.

But couldn't our dumb president stay neutral. What's our biz with Palestine. Us is a major contributor to our economy. Should we be bitng their fingers without a replacement for them?

Soon Bihari will be arrested if he ever visit US with his wife.

obailala:
Yes oo! the over 100 countries that voted against including UK, Germany, France, Japan, Switzerland, South Africa, SKorea etc are also Islamic caliphates led by Islamists trying to promote their Islamic agenda.

Where has common sense really gone to?

You may not also know that the European countries voting is more or less a revenge/protest voting against Trump

nueldozzy:
lol,this is blasphemy.who told this one that russia is poor or making use of obsolete technology?a country whose president ranks 2nd on forbes list of the most powerful men in the world,spends 4.5% of its annual budget on its already excellent military[2nd most powerful military in the world].or should i talk abt china?pls dnt overhype US.true,they may be world power now,but china and russia are such close seconds US dare not tell them trash about how to handle their biz like they do to us.

And add to this, that US balls is in the hand of China. The Chinese owns most of US debt stock. Americans are living on borrowed time. They do not own a bulk of the money they are spending.

What makes Jerusalem so holy?

Christianity, Islam and Judaism, the three religions trace their shared origins back to the biblical figure of Abraham.

Jerusalem, a Middle Eastern city west of the Dead Sea, has been a place of pilgrimage and worship for Jews, Christians and Muslims since the biblical era. Its Old City has significant religious sites around the Temple Mount compound including the

Western Wall (sacred to Judaism)> a remnant of the retaining wall of the mount on which the Holy Temple once stood. Inside the temple was the Holy of Holies, the most sacred site in Judaism. ......Jews believe that this was the location of the foundation stone from which the world was created, and where Abraham prepared to sacrifice his son Isaac. Many Jews believe the Dome of the Rock is the site of the Holy of Holies. Today, the Western Wall is the closest place Jews can pray to the Holy of Holies.


The Church of the Holy Sepulchre (a Christian pilgrimage site) .According to most Christian traditions, Jesus was crucified there, on Golgotha, or the hill of Calvary, his tomb is located inside the sepulchre and this was also the site of his resurrection.

Dome of the Rock (a 7th-century Islamic shrine with a gold dome). The mosque is the third holiest site in Islam ...Muslims believe the Prophet Muhammad travelled here from Mecca during his night journey and prayed with the souls of all the prophets. A few steps away, the shrine of the Dome of the Rock holds the foundation stone, where Muslims believe Muhammad then ascended to heaven.

more ink to your pen,Buhari is an idio*t

most nairalanders are very shallow, they don't read or look something up. all they do is react and comment like a mad dog...... seun osewa has to do something about fake and irrelevant comments...

BTW, Nigeria did the right thing...

east Jerusalem to Palestine, west Jerusalem to Israel....

adetayo234:
Nigerian voting is in support of Islam

Is it a vote between Islam and Christianity? Simple YES or NO.

ensamy:
The UN has a long standing history of being a failed organization without the support of the U.S.A with both Human and material resources.
When they were called the League of Nations they failed and then metamorphosed to UNO and then UN.
It's not surprising that they will fail again on this one. Who among the UN that is not scared when U.S sneezes.

Lol

donneco:
That confirms it.
Nigeria is an islamist nation

Same with the UK, Germany, France and others that voted against Trump, senseless being.

donneco:
That confirms it.
Nigeria is an islamist nation

Just as ENGLAND, FRANCE and GERMANY too are islamist nations!! Wake up

Trump is man of his word. All what he is executing is his campaign promise bro

vedd:
Buhari must stop projecting his Islamic agenda on Nigeria's domestic and foreign policy.

The aboki should go to Saudi Arabia and be their grand Mahdi.

So all those over 100 world leaders that voted in favour of the resolution are Islamist? Urrgh

donneco:
That confirms it.
Nigeria is an islamist nation

so all d European countries dat voted against US r islamist countries? upon all Donald Trump Threats small countries stil went ahead to vote against US

Chukazu:
And we are not in any way better than those who abstained
Seriously ,when did NIGERIAN government and leader become champion of human right?

Was it UNITED NATIONS that chose Abuja as Nigeria's capital city?

Yes I would have preferred Nigeria to stay neutral in things like this but the fact is that it didnt. But then again, I see no reason why you have to start lamenting about it being an Islamic agenda by the FG; several other non-Islamic countries towed the same line.

Nigeria should have remained neural.

Good. Most of the relevant countries voted the right way. Only irrelevant countries supported the US-Israeli gaffe.
Nauru? Palau? Smh!

asunmoGGMU:
Is it a vote between Islam and Christianity? Simple YES or NO.

Are you new in world maters? why do you think the Arab nations and other islamic nations are doing what they are doing? Do you not see ISIS and others providing support because they are muslims and for the temple mount. so you answer, Is it a vote between Islam and Christianity? Simple YES or NO?

Everyone knows US and Israel wrong in this situation. Besides Israel has most in resolution against it bar none. This isn't first time Un voted against USA. If USA takes ball home so what. Nigeria need to quit relaying on foreign aid anyway. The United States is only isolating itself if it tries to carry out promise.

One, I can't remember my question was directed to you. Two, if you can answer it being on a public forum, please do and stop regurgitating some fabricated lines.

Even Nigeria voted in support mtcheeeeew

I understand.

But in a country like ours where people feel more "Roman Catholic" than the Pope ,more Islamic than " Mohammed" it is bound to happen

It was the same "sheepish" obedience to UNITED NATIONS that made us lose BAKKASSI penisula to Cameroon; while China can carve out entire East China Sea as it territory and disregard the United Nations; Russia can annex CREMEA from Ukraine and disregard UNITED NATIONS and we always quick to obey

The amount of dumb people on nairaland is alarming....so Russia and France and Germany is an Islamic country? Why are they calling Buhari out

The vote showed that US doesn't rule the world like trump delusionally believed. Let him withdraw his support from UN na and see if it will capitulate. While he is at it, he should settle US debt to China. The most bankrupt nation who is only being deluded by past glory.
