Mrnairalandd:
It’s high time Nigeria govt stand up as a sovereign nation and tell USA to Bleep off with their fucking money

Are you not ashamed of yourself when America threaten your country that if Nigeria doesn’t follow her instruction to abstain from the voting process, she ll punish your country?

What is your sense of pride?

How do you feel when a USA citizen is proudly talking about his country while your own country is cowing whenever USA sneezes?

We should all be proud of our great country at this point in time for standing against USA foreign policy.

The USA citizens see our continent as a result of their government propaganda via CNN and BBC like animal farm where monkey live due to the fact that African leaders and citizens parade themselves without self respect and full patriotism.

128 have called USA fuckingg bluff and there is nothing on USA table to use against Nigeria.

Margaret Thatcher tried this Nonsense with Nigeria in early 80s when Nigeria Airway was grounded in UK. If it was now, i guess all these sissy men in this generation would have asked this strong and patriotic man called Buhari to chicken in and take a defeat. Thank God for giving us a man with national pride who told Britain that Nigeria ll give Britain 48hrs to release Nigeria Airways with 3 British Airways already grounded in Nigeria in retaliation. Nigeria gave British Embassy staff 48hrs to start packing their bags to leave Nigeria while Nigeria diplomats were asked to return home. What a National pride!

What is wrong with you guys in this generation without Shame? So you expected Nigeria to stay away from election cos USA say so. Pathetic!

In all your years of relationship with USA, tell me what have you gain as a country from that relationship in terms of social infrastructures, FDI and technology.

The little new infrastructures you see in Nigeria and other countries in Africa are made possible by China within the last five years of Africa relationship with China.

Finally, in the midst of Nigeria war against Bono Haram during Jonathan Administration, Nigeria govt did everything possible to get some military hardwares from USA with our money but what did USA do? She refused to sell to Nigeria with the help of Congress. USA even went as far blocking other countries from selling to us hence why we lost over billion of naira to South Africa when we were trying to get those military wares clandestinely. Thank God for Russia who later stepped in and help Nigeria out.

USA can’t hold us to ransom. It’s high time we throw their help to their face and tell them to Hell off.

The only economic power they have over Nigeria is our trade deal with USA which is our oil. If USA decide not to buy our oil, there are over 150 countries around the world ready to buy it. Why the stress?

If Ghana could proudly voted against USA foreign policy with the rest of the world like what we had few days ago, you guys lamenting and whining about why Nigeria shouldn’t have voted against it are nothing but freaking wimps and deserved to be castrated cos you are not real men.

128 countries stood together against tyranny and here you are telling 50 reasons why Nigeria shouldn’t have voted against USA. Bleep off Dawg.

If USA raises a resolution tomorrow that’s fair to the world, Nigeria is ready to work with USA.

Peace
how could you speak with ignorance with such confidence? heavens help you

You are just ranting.

Nigerian policy on Palestine has always been Neutrality.

Nigeria voted out of religious sentiment and we are going to pay heavily for it. Not just in terms of aids, but a changed US interest in Nigeria. Believe me, US might push for a regime change in 2019 as short term goal.

The long term goal might be a weakened Nigeria and the only way to do this is disintegration. If IPOB plays their card well, we might be in trouble.
You mean 128 countries voted on religious ground?

You mean USA will punish 128 countries for voting against them?

The main issue is not that of religion or neutrality but the fact that there is an existing UN resolution that relegated the power to decide the future of Jerusalem to mutual agreement between Israel and Palestine. But the arrogant Trump unilaterally set that resolution aside and recognized Jerusalem as Israeli's capital.

One would have thought Trump and his team will lobby other nations before commencement of voting. But they chose to arrogantly use threats and intimidation.

Your Trump should learn diplomacy first before throwing threats and intimidation.

Ever since we've been standing on a neutral ground, which of our problems has US solved for us? In fact, China has been more supportive of our nationhood than US. SA, Ghana and most African countries voted against Trump's decision. Why should ours be different? Because it doesn't appeal to the sentiments of the Nigerian Christian populace? Is SA or Ghana a Muslim country?
Must we follow the crowd or get lost in them??

Why not if it's for the just cause? Must we always blindly bow to US? What happened after we rejected the gay laws they tried imposing on us? US is about to lose its hold of the world's power. The sooner you nd your "bow down to US crew" recognize that, the better for Africa as a continent.

Nigeria policy has never been on neutrality, it has always been on a two state solution. That's the same policy of most members of the UN, even the policy of the US before Trump. Even the Pope spoke in favour of a two state solution yesterday.

"We see Jesus in the children of the Middle East who continue to suffer because of growing tensions between Israelis and Palestinians," he said. "Let us pray that the will to resume dialogue may prevail between the parties and that a negotiated solution can finally be reached, one that would allow the peaceful coexistence of two states within mutually agreed and internationally recognized borders."
https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/world/2017/12/25/pope-francis-calls-two-state-solution-israelis-and-palestinians/980552001/
The Two State Solution is the option that represents neutrality. That is why neither Israel nor Palestine can agree on its terms

A butterfly thinks itself a bird. Nigeria is not a country but a mere artificial construct designed only to plunder resources for the west. Ordinarily, their "wardens" should be eternally beholden to their benefactors, but they have fed fat and gotten away with so much iniquities that they now feel they are within their rights to bite the fingers that feed them. My Igbo people says that once an idol becomes overbearing, the worshippers will show it the tree from which it was carved out of. No be 5 naira market una just buy o. dey look.

USAID is a major supplier of medical rsource to Nigeria. Even the WHO is funded to a very large extent by america.

Bill gates is an american. There is a law that forbid americans from doing business with or funding '''hostile govts''. If you think Bill gates is operating in a vacuum, then you are ignorant.

All it takes is for the US Government to exercise patriot law, designates Nigeria as ''hostile'' and all the Bill gates funds will stop coming.
you sound like a fuul. so Trump is now the law in USA. people just jump on their feet to do whatever he says, the House does not interfere? patriot law my foot. let America exercise it's patriot law on the UK, Germany and others. na only Nigeria vote against them. rubbish.

Yes, we voted out of religious sentiment like we did in 2014 during Jonathan's tenure. Netanyahu boldly boasted on CNN that he told Jonathan to abstain from the UN's vote back then and people like u kept quiet. A Nigerian christian claims to know the Jerusalem issue more than the Israeli and Palestinian Christians. that's funny.

JFK in his ich bin ein berliner's speech said " ..when one is in bondage, all are not free".The world is too interconnected and we musnt take the other look when the rights of others are trampled upon. we all share a collective destiny, a collective duty to make the world a better place and our actions must be anchored on that concrete fact.




And to y'all citing scriptures and what u not. I still keep asking myself is it not God that created the Palestinians according to ur scripture? if the answer to that question is a yeah, then why giving special treatment to one at the expense of the other? And having done that, is it still right to call such a scriptural god a just God?
If you really know your historic facts, you would have realized that Jordanians and Israelis made up Palestinians when the territory was pronounced in 1922 by Lord Belfour. The carp referred today as Palestinians is con job by Islamized Arabs and Anti-Semitic Europeans to create problem in Middle-East. The British Mandate of Palestine was divided into Jordan and Israel in 1947 and 1948 respectively.

Israel invaded and occupied the land on which the Palestinians were living, in 1948. My guess is if a band of invaders did the same to you, you'd turn ''terrorist'' too
You are very terrible ignorant of the factual facts. How could a country that fought for independence from British in 1948 invade Arabs. By the way, there was no Arabs called Palestinian. The usurpation of the name, Palestinian, came about in 1964 when the so-called Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) was formed. The state of progress in Nigeria has indicated that most Nigerians are intellectual midgets.

Pls, do anyhow and see anyhow with Nigerians

You ll know that civil war was a child play compare to what we befall you this time around. History ll repeat itself in such a way that you would wish it was a dream you are seeing

Let me tell you one secret, in the last war, loads of Nigerians Were sympathetic towards the hardship you imposed on yourself but trust me, the story has changed, neutral Nigerians have now realised how vengeful and spiteful you are as people as a result of your behaviours and utterances in recent years and more than ready to pounce on you.

Trust me, there is no hidding haven this time around.
Try harder than you have show above to get your facts straight. If the bolded is meant for Biafra, you are as wrong as a dead rat. France did not support Biafra. Equally there was no South African pilot in Biafra because the country had no airplane talk less of jet fighter. If you claim there was South Africans pilots in Biafra, I pray you name the planes they flew for Biafra? Egyptians where flying MIG 19s and 21s for Nigeria.

That's what you get when you have an illiterate dullllard as your President. With this singular vote against the most powerful country on earth, Bubu has destroyed Nigeria.
We have really retogressed in our mentality, this was a country that stood against not just USA but UK and many other EU countries at the same time in the fight against apartheid in SA and against USA backed UNITA rebels in Angola. In both cases we persevered and got victory against USA/UK/EU wishes.
Now some religious bigots wants to hided behind the might of USA to push their private religious agenda and say Nigeria should not do what it did about 40 years withstanding oppression.
I value more those who come out openly that they want Jerusalem handed over to Israel because it's in the bible than the slimy ones who ignore international law and UN resolutions and whine about USA power.

If they have a country today they will sell nigerians as slaves like libyans. They hate us like poo. Even if americans hate you they still accommodate you with human rights. The arabs? They kill and maim you. Look we have nothing to benefit from that useless vote. Should America stop buying our fuel again today you will be surprised at how quick recession will return. If they provide support for IPOB today...you will be surprised. You kill IPOB they shout genocide in that same UN and sanctions will be meted against us. They can frustrate buhari if they want....so stop this your bravado.

If they start funding IPOB today then America and Israel hypocrisy would be crystal clear to the rest of the world. You support a separatist in a faraway country thousands of miles away but can't do same to the ones in your backyard. Besides many of the big countries that voted against the US have some form of separatist in their nations too, The world is watching. If they can aid Nigeria own, That means they can aid the ones in Tibet china, The ones in India, the ones in catalonia, the ones in Scotland, the ones in Morroco, the ones in basically every nations that voted against them. It would just end up being a proxy war between these nations and the US, And you know what? Nigeria always wins a proxy war. So my Friend relax, We are still on the winning sides. One Nation cannot hold the world to ransom any more.
