Please who send America message for all the military base and maintainance?.. Can't they just mind their biz?

They were there to eliminate ISIS. Now, they've capitalized on it. They assume the status of the world police.

Iraq has lost its sovereignty. Those who support the U.S. in this brutal show of force should know that have no inclination with Israel, it was Lybia, Syria, Afghan and presently Iran, it could be Nigeria tommorow.

America never does anything for the love of God except looking to reap massively from it.

Nigerians are too religious and uninformed to see it's not about Muslim and Christian. Even the Israel you so support has more Muslim population than Christians.
lets look at it this way, if any Muslim country was a world power like America ,how do you think countries like Nigeria will be like? No matter what America does they are million times better than any Muslim country. These Muslims will do worse unthinkable things if there were in the position America is today, little they have they are causing mayhem everywhere, sponsoring terrorists here and there.


Stop fooling people with this is not a Christian /Muslim thing,thats some smelling bullshit, few weeks ago Nigerian Muslim terrorists beheaded Christians as revenge for the death of someone in far away Iraq . like it or not this one way or the other has connection with religion.



'We have a very extraordinarily expensive air base that's there. It cost billions of dollars to build. Long before my time,' he said. 'We're not leaving unless they pay us back for it.'
The bolded ,i think its fair they get compensated,you can't expect America to leave just like that. They have to recoup their money,simple.

Muslims are pained in this US

who cares if it's Nigeria tomorrow
if terrorist buhari is so dumb to attract US attention
so be it.
Iran are terrorists
come on you can't just enter an embassy (which is technically a soil of any country) and kill an American citizen and expect pat on the back
i know most of you are used to that kind of life where human lives are worthless no thanks to buhari
but this is America
they don't joke with their citizens being killed by foreigners
this is trump not coward Obama

See, I'm a Christian and an Anglican by birth. I have been baptized and confirmed. I have since realised many of us as Christians don't have sense. We just reason along religious divides. Same as Muslims and the extremists among them.

In you own opinion, if Nigeria is sanctioned by America, it's Buhari who would suffer it? See where religious intolerance is leading you. And if you're an Anglican, Catholic or a member of any orthodox church, you'll chant the liturgy of the holy communion every Sunday and Te Deum Laudamus on cross over night. The wickedness of your forefathers who were idol worshipers still thrives in you because this level of wickedness has no place in Christianity.

I'm sure you wouldn't mind death for Iraqis as well at the moment because they are a Muslim population.

Many of you are not different from the Muslim religious extremist, the difference is you got western education early as it is in the case of their elite too.

I am sorry, but all you know about terrorism is what the Western media has fed you. You see every Muslim as vile and violent.
The US commits terror acts as much as these fanatical Islamic groups. But you see one as white and the other black.

Respect for America is totally gone, they have lost it entirely they are worse than the terrorists they claim to fight, they are just disgracing themselves

Fuckyoumod:
are you sure your in this world?


Forcing who on what?

America spent a lot on Iraq, the lost men and women in Iraq, they built a multi billion dollar military bases in Iraq.

Who is going to pay for all that? You? Or your big empty head?

So Iraq should pay up and America would leave.

There was once a country who colonised Nigeria, they were asked to leave. Imagine today the British told Nigeria that they had spent billions on Military Bases and infrastructure, who is going to pay for all that?

Here is the clear picture: USA kept shouting that Iraq had weapon of mass destruction (non was found but was a pretext to invade and colonise the country), they are the axis of evil, they eventually they invaded the country, destroyed all civilization there, killed more than 50% of its population and installed a puppet Govt that will do its bidding.

Spend money to build military bases (not roads, railways or housing schemes that will benefit the people). Now, they have assassinated someone in the Iraqi soil and are asked leave... They said they wouldn't leave and if they are forced to leave, they will cripple the economy with sanctions.

Wake up brother, this is the 21st century. It can happen to anyone and any country. They are presently setting up bases in Kenya, eventually they will not want to leave but will expand all over Africa. They created the terrorism that is plaguing Africa which is warranting them to set up base in kenya, they created the terrorism that is plaguing the Middle East. They create a problem and come with a solution.

Wake up bro, USA is the worst terrorist in the world.

Nobody forced or begged USA to enter Iraq. They lied their way into Iraq because of her oil. They claimed Saddam had weapons of mass destruction and used it to invade Iraq only to discover later that there were absolutely no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.

They killed Saddam over lies. Bombed Iraq over lies. Killed thousands of Iraqis over lies yet want to be compensated?

Let's stop this foolish talk. The Obama invasion of Libya gave you what you knew as the militant Boko Haram for years. A world war will affect you even if you live inside the toilet. Also remember Iran has used our ports many times to ship weapons into the country. Don't be silly

Get your facts right. Obama didn't invade Libya. NATO did. The invasion by NATO forces were laid by France and UK. Obama and the US came in to join the allied forces reluctantly much later.

When the whites discriminate against the black, sometimes, it's justified. These people can colonise us again and nothing would happen, lest for abolition of slave trade and other U.N. policies.

Ignorance and religion has killed my people bro. They can't think objectively for a moment. They don't read, they don't have knowledge. They are completely blind and wouldn't mind being caught in a crossfire, all in solidarity for Israel and the U.S. Bro, even in their ignorance, my people are still wicked.

I like Trump but this last one is the straw that broke the camel's back. He is just endangering the world recklessly. His recklessness is tilting the balance of the world.

You people aren't seeing the show of shame in these nonsense. You conducted an airstrike in another country without their knowledge, assassinated a foreigner on their own land, same land you've occupied for so many years in the name of fighting the taliban and Al Qaeda but theres been nothing to show forth for it. Now they are telling you to leave but you are saying you can't leave until they pay for your air bases and refund all the money you've spent (na them send you) you people have failed to see the fact that the us has turned themselves to a big bully. They've been bullying everyone for several years and everybody dey look. Even countries like Russia who can shut them up aren't saying anything.

Many of them don't have an idea what they are talking about. All they do is hate on America.

There is never a time in the world when everybody would be equal. Never! Moreover, life doesn't work that way. If everybody is equal then nobody will lead and when nobody leads there is bound to be more chaos than when there is a more powerful leader.
African kingdoms (even in present day Nigeria) fought themselves to a standstill, conquering and annexing other kingdoms before the Whiteman came. Today in Nigeria tribes are still clandestinely trying to colonize each other.

If the Arab or Persian world ever held superpowers in this modern times of the fanatical religion they practise, they'd nuke everybody before you could blink your eyes. When Arabia and Persia held the balance of power in ancient times, they practiced their traditional religions and were a far better people. Not now anymore.

If North Korea had some fanatical religion like them they'd be worse than they are today.

Sane people prefer America's madness (they have to be because of the crazy world they are dealing with) to Middle East fundamentalist rule any day anytime!
My brother, I have to agree with you.
Most people don't understand that Equality is just Utopia....its just an imaginary world that is never achievable. Even in heaven, we have higher angels. When one is a member of the higher class, there are certain privileges you enjoy that ordinary people cannot (whether good or evil)

The US did not get to where they are today by simply appointing themselves the leader of the world, they actually worked for it. That is how it has been from Egypt; Babylonia; Rome; Britain; US etc and possibly China in the future.

If you don't like America, you don't just go about showing emotions or looking for sympathy over the whole place, you simply go and work on yourself.
Whether America is doing the right thing or not, they are going to remain here for a long time.

Thanks again for the beautiful insight you gave above

Glad to see the USA doing the will of the Sunnis and the Saudis in the middle east. Those who thinks Trump is doing the muslims dirty have no clue about islamic sectionalism or middle eastern politics.
exactly. To those Muslim fanatics thinking it's a Muslim vs Christian issue on NL. Trump is doing what Saudi Arabia wanted the US to do many years ago and that's putting Iran back in it's place. People that just listen to hear say or bear parlor gist will come and be typing rubbish here. I thank God there are enlightened ones here. The middle East is purely Sunni ( Saudi and her allies) vs Shia ( Iran and allies), with the US, isreal and Western Powers pitching their tent with Saudi Arabia. Nothing like Christian vs Muslim or any deluded fictional story

What is Nigeria facing today in the North? Terrorist.
What is USA doing? Helping to stop terrorist from the root (Iran) which in turn will cut off financial and military supplies to groups like Boko haram.

You are the one with slave mentality. You think you are a slave in the world and the USA and Iran are your masters. You reckon you should shut up when they speak. But you shouldn't because their actions can destabilize the entrire world and even lead to the collapse of the international economy and a world war with nuclear weapons. So it is your business. Fulani herdsmen and Boko Haram are trifle in comparison to what can result from this international crisis.

You are not seeing the fact that Iraq is fast becoming a war zone for the U.S. and Iran. A major general of Iran was killed on Iraqi's soil because of Intel. they had on him in Iraq. If there is a possible retaliation as threatened, it might likely be targeted at U.S. bases in Iraq. It even happened a few hours after the death of Quassem. 5 people were said to be injured. Think about it, what is Iraq fast become?

I'm not sure Iraq asking the U.S. to leave was an easy decision for them in the first place owing the ISIS battle the U.S. had just won but weighing their options and seeing the loss of their own military officer caught in the cross fire of the death of Quassem Seleimani, they began to have a rethink.

You can't kill a monster and breed another for the host state.
