jayfolarin:I actually beg to disagree. Nigeria's problem is more of internal than external. Reason being a house divided against itself cannot stand. We are still busy practicing do me I do you politics and policies. Tribalism is superior to nationalism. We refuse restructuring and wallow in crude oil over dependence. If the US is surrounding Nigeria then it is simply because an implosion is imminent and it has to be contained otherwise surrounding African nations and non African nations will also bear the brunt. |

while I understand the op's concerns, I simply cannot take them seriously. the u. s. wouldn't need an actual military base to take down our military. TBH a single CVG would be more than enough. |

NothingDoMe:Sure. The West through their propaganda media outlets sold you the lie that Libya, the richest African State, best African State in terms of Hunan Development Indicies was led by a “mad man”. And you believed it. Uncritical acceptance of propaganda, the bane of third world nation states. The sane men in Nigeria, what have they done in leadership? |

america are the world sponsor of terrorist across the globe for its own selfish interests, hardly you would see a country which is enrich with crude oil not facing one or two terrorism,america sends their Isis foot soldiers to countries to dis stabilize the region and use that as an excuse to invade the country to steal oil,thanks for Russia and Putin who is checkmating their attitudes either good or bad this days |

Realname:I don't blame you. The blame is on African leaders who are so corrupt and won't work together to bring peace to the continent. Tell me why we need US, China or French military bases on African soil. US and France have done more harm than good to this continent starting from the days of imperialism. These countries are only protecting their interest with military bases under the disguise of fighting terrorism. The scramble for Africa continues. Go and read bro |

NaijaTalkTown:Comrade, who else do we have to blame if not our brain-dead leaders? Buhari - The Bastard cow keeps running to Amerika to get approval while Amerika is on the verge on balkanizing Nigeria. Rather than gravitate towards the East & embrace Russia with open arms, our cursed leaders are busy aiding the West indirectly to achieving their ultimate goal of divide & conquer. Even when Trump insulted Buhari, bastard couldn't grow some balls to expel the Amerikan Ambassador. Read what Saudi Arabia did to Canadian Ambassador when Canada meddled in her internal affairs recently. https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2018/08/saudi-arabia-expels-canadian-ambassador-criticism-arrests-180806050810633.html This is one of the reasons why Ghadaffi's death pained me to the marrow. Only Ghadaffi was bold enough to call their bluffs - and Instead of our Afrikan leaders unite for a common purpose & dislodge our common enemy, they colluded with the West in killing Ghadaffi & even celebrated his exit. None of our bastard leaders could come out in the open to condemn Amerika & Israel for sponsoring Boko Haram - using it to destabilize our region - except the President of Sudan. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FENPN6eVblQ The crimes of Amerika are innumerable but only few have talked about them. Amerika is in the business of exercising a clinical manipulation of power - resulting in widespread chaos & untold hardship while masquerading as a force for universal good - but we are not deceived. Unfortunately, until Afrika embraces Russia, China, Iran, North Korea - I'm afraid these AngloZionist bastards will keep having their way. |

madridsta007:What propaganda? Just like people start protesting against Buhari and you'll say it's the west that sponsored it. Have you been to libya before? Did you know what the citizens go through there? Is that not the same slavers den where thousands of Nigerians have returned from with lots of stories? |

NothingDoMe:Just my point. Libya was not a slave then before the colonial invasion of the US-France led NATO. I know as some of my classmates, fully sponsored postgraduate program, were from Libya. |

OP try to understand foreign policies on military allies before you conclude, international relationship is all about interest. the problem is Nigeria as a country till now since the inception of independence as refused to grow in military strategies in all ramifications instead same old cronies who became then generals today their sons are still the generals tomorrow who do you think will be the generals if you and I are not giving the equal opportunity to put in our superlative ideas to reality rather than sit in a conducive atmosphere as a general to fight a war. |
| Re: Why Nigeria Is Being Encircled By Military Bases. by Jaqenhghar: 2:02pm On Oct 02, 2018 |
madridsta007:Stop lying please. Who started calling Ghaddafi a mad man? Was it not Niggerians? When he suggestedthat the country be broken up in the interest of peace was that not when Niggerians united and called him mad. Maybe you suffer from memory loss but some of us dont. What of the lack of basic infrastructure and the looting and the soldiers bullying civilians. Is that the handiwork of Americans too? |

No one but Nigerians are inviting political strife to themselves. In Nigeria there is no love for one another. Very soon Buhari will be back in power and deepen his style of leadership which has up to now divided Nigeria more than ever before. His supporters will acclaim, not because he is the best but he fits into their idea of a leader that will contain those they do not love. The environment we have in Nigeria is the outcome of the predominant mindset. It is a very ugly mindset. Development is not just about building roads and bridges or physical structures. These are whited sepulchers as long as the people as extremely hateful. So I am indifferent to where America is having a military base. It might even be to the advantage of the oppressed people of Nigeria. Ghana deserves every recognition that they are getting from the developed world. Ghana is a very serious country. They definitely want to get it right. |

This rationale given below for these moves by the US is clearly misinformation and I believe the motivation for that is due to the fact that the writer of this piece is either an Islamist or a sympathizer. The US plans decades ahead and are preparing for Nigeria to either fall into a second civil war or become a hotbed of Islamic terrorism which will spill out into neighbouring countries and destabilise the entire West Africa and perhaps beyond. Both eventualities are even possible. As the present regime is actively encouraging Fulani herdsmen terrorists coupled with its insatiable appetite for debt which is leading to a systemic collapse within a decade, it's no surprise the US is making its preparations for either possibility or both simultaneously. Only a disingenuous person will imply that Nigeria is an enemy of US therefore it's building bases to bomb us out of existence. Rubbish The powers that be object to Nigeria's growing economy and military power at the same time China's influence on the continent. Such powers are reserved for France and America, goes the thinking. So, we’ll threaten anyone who challenges that with war. |

jomonic:Thank you!!! They will be busy doing rubbish with the country and will later look for whom to blame. There are US military bases all over the world even in Germany. Na only base for Ghana go different because black man like to live inside darkness. Anything that exposes him to the world is abhorred. Let's even talk about Boko Haram that started small has now escalated beyond the borders of this country. It seems it's too much for them to handle. Let the US build bases in surrounding countries to curtail them. Watch how some will come and say the US is responsible for all terrorism. They are the ones who tainted Islam and taught them how to do suicide bombing and chop off heads in the name of Allah. Na US na e do everything. |

Softhands:Even though I was as shocked as u were, ur suggestion is not the right step for Naija. u think we can start and win a trade war or any war with the US? |
| Re: Why Nigeria Is Being Encircled By Military Bases. by NothingDoMe: 2:29pm On Oct 02, 2018 |
Softhands:Childish. If your hands are clean then you have nothing to fear. You want to stop trade deals because they have agreements with another country to establish a base? |
| Re: Why Nigeria Is Being Encircled By Military Bases. by HarryDuce(m): 2:34pm On Oct 02, 2018 |
NothingDoMe:Who is Nigeria? There can never be a country without people. The citizens and leaders alike are responsible for the loving . All you're doing is selling yourself short. Does America care that you adore them? No. They take what they want regardless. |
