Lol.The writer is exaggerating Nigeria. Nigeria has nothing to offer for world powers to be scared or contain them. Nigeria has not even reached the level of Iran. The writer should be more concerned about Nigeria solving her basic problems like electricity ,water,roads,health care system etc instead of worrying about US bases.
It's called a contingency plan.

things Nigeria have are population. potential. Population.

With 200mn people and still counting, the UN estimates us to reach 450mn by 2050.
I don't know about you, but that's enough to scare anyone.

With our population people are shouting overpopulation.
Now imagine double, someone must suffer, and if Nigeria happened to have had a revolution between this time, we're likely to be aggressive. And aggressive Nigerians can start moving into neighbouring countries en masse. Before you know it Nigerians would dominate Africa in everything.
Now all I've said haven't involved military threat.

Now Nigeria has more men than women. Let's say 200MN men. In case of a war. About 40 million men could be drafted.

That's more than most countries population. Now tell me how many countries can invade such.
Unless you use nuclear weapons. Which has been banned from using against countries that don't have.

Another reason is Niger, Chad and Northern Nigeria are rich in radioactive materials. Enough to make a nuclear arsenal, they fear that if Nigeria can for once move in the right direction. We'd capitalize on that opportunity. And once we've got enough, we're out of their reach. They can try sanctions and all.
But Nigeria unlike North Korea can actually feed itself.


But all these I've stated, involves Nigeria going in the right direction. Which it doesn't seem like we are so....

Iran has terrorist ties they support sm of them indirectly. Do they bother Mexico? They only even cut ties with Cuba they didn’t invade them depite smwht communist/dictatorship government going on for many years.
What' you don't know is, America is responsible for the 'terrorist' government in Iran.. Before, Iran was a secular Democratic country, but the UK and US overthrew the government and installed Shah, the Islamic revolution got rid of the Shah government and what we have now is the current government..

When Jonathan objected to AFRICOM,African Command, a US purported military in the gulf of Guinea,America hated him and he was ousted.
America,through the CIA, has overthrown over 40 governments.They turn their blow touch on any country capable enough to challenge their hegemony. But they failed abjectly with China because China weakened the CIA.Over 20 of their agents were killed.
Nigeria should learn from China.Unfortunately, however,we have leaders who are too lazy to be single-minded enough to act proactively.
Jonathan was ousted because he failed the country not because of his refusal to AFRICOM, y'all should stop praising Jonathan.

nice write up, though I doubt the authenticity of the news as am just seeing it for the first time but if its true, The solution is simple. Since Ghana signed such a controversial agreement with the US despite Nigeria's objections, Nigeria should simply go and sign similar agreement with China and Russia to protect the integrity of the country. But our cow head president is a coward. He won't do nothing
Bro no, what we have with china is okay. We shouldn't show ourselves, that's what is killing Libya now. I'm not saying we should be cowards, we should be ourselves. These countries would never confront each other, they'll just give you and I weapons and we'll start killing. The Belgians laid a plan for the Tutsi genocide right from the colonial times and they're looking at nigeria from the sidelines

The us don’t even negotiate with terrorist talkless or supporting them. The can tolerate them for war tactics reasons or support rebels that’s all.

The us will never invade/focus on a purely democratic government I say this with confidence.

I focused on GEJ because you mentioned him ONLY, GEJ lost not because he opposed the US but because he was a failure

@BreadAndBeans,but the focus of the post wasn't on GEJ. His refusal to endorse AFRICOM, coupled with Nigeria 's position on same sex marriage made America to "oust" him -ploitics of the metropole.Just like the Rothschild family controlling many corporations and central banks.

Jonathan's presidency was torpedoed by the Obama administration with arms sanctions and the economic decision to stop buying Nigerian crude, sending Nigeria into a tail spin economically as Boko Haram grew stronger. GEJ cancelled a U.S Nigeria military training program, but his anti-gay legislature was the last straw for the gay American Presidency. Once that legislature was passed by the Senate Amnesty International, Human Rights advocacy group, Sham Boko Haram cease fire deal, Boko Haram declared a caliphate....GEJ stood no chance. His Presidency was effectively over,

So GEJ was an hero? GEJ allowed Boko haram to spread, stop blaming the US. US isn't the only country that makes arms, in fact if we use weapons from different countries including Russia and China. The Russians and Chinese didn't sanction us, was the US responsible for the squandering of the cash meant to fight Boko by Dasuki?

As we're winning now, did we allow gays or gays? Buhari came in 2015 and trump in 2016 and buhari successfully dealt with Obama before Trump came in. Stop making excuses, Jonathan failed

I pray for this to be true. Nigeria is not a country, and if this is what it will take for the nations within Nigeria to break free, I say amen to it. Some Yoruba organizations have already sent letters to the Whitehouse to help us out of Nigeria. Yoruba can declare Omoluabi nation and have America annihilate any threat from the parasitic dregs holding us down. We are better off giving 10% of our wealth to America than giving 95% to Nigeria.

The US Washington political establishment, RINO and Neocons have not only negotiated with terrorists but have sponsored and armed them. Maybe you meant hostage negotiation which Obama was alleged to have changed.

Nigeria is not running a "purely democratic govt" and the constitution was written by unelected military dictator's regime to favor a section of the country.

Rebels are not terrorist. Rebels are people fighting an oppression. I hope u understand this. So they armed who and to terrorize which innocent people exactly?
Re: Why Nigeria Is Being Encircled By Military Bases. by doziex: 11:11pm On Oct 02, 2018
One could also say that this is all of Nigeria's making. Since we wouldn't grow up, and take care of our strategic responsibilities , others competitors and those with interests in west Africa are just planning around a perennially weak and irresponsible nigeria.
They cannot do the same to Kenya, Uganda,Rwanda, Angola nor Ethiopia.

In Nigeria, top military brass, repeatedly embezzle funds meant for equipment purchase and troop welfare. Our politicians display little interest in the capability and welfare of our military even at the height of insecurity in the nation. They are only interested in monies that end up in their corrupt coffers. National security be damned.

So stakeholders like the US, with massive investments and interests in our oil sector, have no choice but to hedge their bets.

If our armed forces doesn't prosper under an incorruptible ex general, when are they going to get due attention ?

Report to command post asap! I repeat, report to command post asap!
It's really sad what the Nigerian state has turned into over the years.

This reminds me of AWO's word.

“Nigeria is not a nation, it is a mere geographical expression. ... Nigeria's unity is only a British intention for the country.”

First of all Nigeria was created to meet a specific interest - Back then it was the British empire's selfish interest but today, it's now the interest of the anglozionist empire which includes Angloz saxons, Anglo America and the Zionist Israel.

Today that 'Nigeria' they created has grown wings and those who created it are threatened they will loss what they created. They have have been using all kinds of war to making sure they have leverage in the country. Usually killing any Puppet who does not play balls with them and installing another one..

They have done this and each time Nigeria gets it right, they always come again to sabotage it ever since the region government was sabotaged. The Regional government was working fine but what happened ? Sabotaged.
Now Nigeria's greatest sin is rescuing itself by going to China.

So now they needed the same forces they have once used in the past, to re-use it again so as to divide it,break it, conquer and rule it again just like what happened during the Berlin conference.

They have been trying this for years and it has not worked for them.

What do these Anglozionist forces see really in Nigeria and why are they doing what they are doing now?

1) They saw a Carbon copy of themselves (Completely corrupt and arrogant rulers but not leaders) which is fighting to be free finally from the Anglozionist empire. The kind that if and when totally free could control the whole of West Africa thereby cutting their selfish interest or competing with their selfish interest.

2) They saw a threat to their regional conflict which has always been in a state of war. ( Nigeria has the best kind of soft power in the world, in-fact I have never seen any thing close to the Soft-power Nigeria has except recently when one of their puppets (BUhari) sent soldiers to threaten Yaya Jameh of the Gambia to install another Fulani clan. Mere Effigy of backward ideologist.

3) They saw a very potentially powerful people whose ideas could move a mountain but they are currently Economically suppressed so they can't bite back that big
4) They saw a Nigeria they created for their own benefit now growing wings to becoming truly independent of them and going to China to help even though they have long sabotaged any agreement or deal with the Russians.

Going to the Russians to sign any deal is a redline to any President of Nigeria. This explains why they Killed Yaradua in Saudi.

Building Bases to surround Nigeria will also end in failure the same way their Boko haram proxies are lossing the war everyday.

What is the Solution

Economic Solution
I have said this before, I will just type it briefly.

Dedolarization
HOW ?
Via massive diversification (Nigeria needs to start producing at least 50-80% of what it consumes)..
HOW

HOnestly, A president needs to die for this one and make sure he made it through, that President can never be Buhari lai-lia or Atiku (Never).
Complete Ajao-okuta steel Industry ( This will be the backbone of Nigeria's industrialization)
Complete Rosatom Power plants deal signed by Yaradua with the President of Russia.
Many do not understand the regime change that broight Jona in.
Down the memory lane. It's took so long before GEJ was finally brainwashed about the redlines which he also played along like their normal puppet( He was scared of his life)

GEJ completed or continued all the Projects Yaradau stated but did not touch Rosatom power plants deal with the Russians not only that but also sabotaged the Ajaokuta power plants. How ?

He recalled the case from london when it was glaring that Nigeria was winning the Sabotteur compnay recomended by one American and GEJ set up a committe via Sambo leading it to indict Nigeria of $500m for no reason other than to scare any potential investor away. (What an obidient puppet).

Let me burst your head finally. GEJ also did not touch the Rosatom deal with the Russians, he replaced it with GE(General Electric) plants of about $10Bill deal. What happened to the deal today ? Gas sabotage to it rendered it useless while the empire sparred GEJ's life.

So the Nigeria they created only to serve them has been fighting since the 'agreed' independence, an independence that it's not.


Military Solution
Sign a contract with Russia to buy S-400, Pantsir S1, Buk and TOr with jammers. Sign the deal on lease (RUssia would be more than happy to borrow Nigeria money to buy these systems)
They will do anything to kill that President right from that time on.

Upgrade the Military to be able to combat any threat from any of the countries they installed these bases in, start by clearing their proxies Boko haram completely.. Any country that allows an American or foreign base would face the same fate. A checkmated fate for being a dirrect threat in case of any war, pretext for war or even provocation against Nigeria. The Industralizion will give Nigeria massive Economic leverage in a way that Lagos alone GDP will be more than the GDP of Ghana and other 4 countries combined.


If this is not done, expect mass killing in any event of War which is coming. of which the Anglozionist empire is preparing via the Encirclement.

Remember the U.S are not good are winning wars, they are only good at killing the masses. So expect deaths to raise, these is one of the means by which the empire thrives.

Rebels fight their oppressors and if they are being oppressed by their own people the obviously will fight them. Rebels don’t just kill innocent people or for killing sake like terrorist do. There’s a difference.

America never armed Boko Haram pls, to kill innocent people or what? Or is that another conspiracy theory?
Re: Why Nigeria Is Being Encircled By Military Bases. by wowcatty: 12:57am On Oct 03, 2018

How do you know that America never armed bokoharam? If they could arm ISIS and other terrorists groups, what makes you think they can't arm bokoharam? The bokoharam case wasn't really clear like others but has been raised, and if you consider the way Obama was in bed with the Arab world, it was possible but the third world country factor is not bringing it to the forefront. It's not conspiracy, a lot went down during Obama administration, and the Neocons are still pushing to support the ISIS against Syrrian govt.

One thing certain about Nigeria today is that Buhari will not accept to leave in 2019 after losing the elections.

He will do exactly what he did in Osun which is; Deploy troops to harass and kill people while INEC announces "Landslide victory" for him.

War or serious insurgency will be the result of such brazen rape of the people's will. The world powers are only making sure the crisis is easily controllable and Nigerian troops can be dealt with when they commit acts of genocide on civilians.
