No need to be sarcastic bro.

ArmaniUhuru:
Oga shut up. What goes around comes around. In 2015, You all were happy about foreign interference in the election. Why are you people afraid this time?

wise2odd:
all election conducted in African nation have been observed by foreign commissions even with people attracted from Nigeria. Jonathan have played a lead roles in that even when the observers didn't show support to the incumbent they still went there to do their job. why are APC against international observers? its very clear for all to see that they want to forced themselves to power.

what ever happened here affect these foreign nations. Nigerians flee daily to their countries to cause a lot of problem there. look at Ghana for example. Nigerians are giving them problem there. so why won't Ghanaian observer come to witness the election that would bring stability and reduce their problem with Nigerians in their countries.

Nigeria was a British creation and Nigerians never agreed to live together but it was forces on us. and everything happening here should be their concern. to know if we are a sovereign nation we should go for a referendum and let Nigeria decide how to live their life before talking about sovereignty.

ruffhandu:
So the best way to make your point is to quote me and use the word you used?

5thElement:
Ignoramus.

The UN has no right to intrude upon a nation's sovereignty.

When was the last time the US obeyed any ICJ ruling?

Ignorant peeps be shouting "Hague, Hague, Hague!".

The judgement of Hague isn't binding on any nation.

RTSC:
Nigeria is not the United States.

We would gladly hand over any useless president to the Hague.

Who you help?

mycar:
Why are they jittery? All America wants to do is to observe, if the government does not have any sinister motive why worry, is this the first election conducted, the kind of suffering and sanction that will hit Nigeria if APC wins will be more than imagine, the rudeness is just too much.

Even our visa policy will be reviewed, the worst is yet to come.

5thElement:
My apologies.

5thElement:
Lol. "We would gladly blah blah blah..."

Who are the "we" ojere?

Who you be?

Who be you?

spiralwedge:
Lol Americans and UK don't observe nada. They are anywhere for selfish interests. EU and Canadian observers are more objective.
The US in particular always look to either change regimes, incite the populace, put themselves in strategic economic positions, and dictate to nations. Nigeria is a prime target. It doesn't matter who is in charge, APC or PDP. We must never leave a chance or a loophole for Americans to jump into.

RTSC:
We would gladly give out any useless president.

We signifies the "Nigerian people".

Your buhari is the last person that Nigerians risk sanctions for with his divisiveness.
The guy has divided his own country terribly.

Nobody in Yoruba land can stop it if it comes to that.

5thElement:
You are funny. Have you given a thought to standup comedy? You will do quite well I assure you.

RTSC:
The stand up comedian is you ranting about sovereignty like a clown.

Yoruba clown who thinks buhari is somehow the best thing since sliced bread.

RTSC:
But the Americans have always been here even while the opposition got in power.
Why shouldn't they remain observers like they have all these years.?
Anyway, you can't stop them. It is just hot air.

spiralwedge:
Here, you mean their embassies and other diplomatic tinz? Of course.
Nobody is stopping them from being observers. Observers don't give command over a sovereign nation and dictate to them... that's beyond their duty. And it isn't diplomacy either. It is undermining the independence and sovereignty of a nation to interfere like the way they were carrying themselves last week. Thank God they were shunned. Ever wondered why Americans themselves are not taking Russian interference in their elections likely?

RTSC:
Observers like the United States give directives especially to countries like Nigeria.
They always have.
And their directives are always in the interest of the elections.
I have never seen any US directive in Nigeria that was detrimental to fair elections.
In fact their presence is responsible for the fair elections in the first place, whether you like it or not.

The US was around when buhari defeated an incumbent president and won.
What is the problem now?

Give me one thing the US has done in this election to really undermine your sovereignty?
You want them to leave and allow buhari mess up everybody?

It won't happen.

adekennis:
What u dont understand is that there is an intelligence report of Obasanjo using foreign country to interfere in our election which is totally unacceptable. That will never be allowed to happen.

spiralwedge:
No Sir. No country has the right to give another sovereign country directives even if they are non-threatening.

Maybe you missed it the first time, i will say it again, nobody is asking them to leave. Observe, monitor elections... Give your report afterwards and go. That's all Elections observers do. They are not to dictate.
There are observers from all over the world. Only the sinister ones are trying to interfere. Observers are neutral... They observe and note down.


I think here is where we differ. And will end the convo here.

The Minister of Foreign Affairs, Mr Geoffrey Onyeama, has warned the diplomatic community against crossing the line on governance in Nigeria.

Onyeama who briefed the diplomatic community on the rescheduled general elections in Abuja said the community could not exhort Nigeria on good governance and dictating to the country on how to govern.

The meeting which held at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was to interact with the diplomatic corps to clarify issues surrounding the postponement of the elections and the country’s readiness as the polls come up on Saturday.

In the run-up to the elections, the Federal Government had on several occasions raised concerns about what it described as interference from foreign bodies.

Onyeama said: “At the end of the day, we are a sovereign nation and the line shouldn’t be crossed from exhorting us and wanting us to succeed and wanting this to be a really democratic process to dictating to us and really getting into the nitty-gritty of how we run the country which is exclusively the responsibility of this government.”
