dukeprince50:
Irrespective of what they do, people will still think Buhari has them in his pocket

I know, but they should be countering such unsubstantiated statements. Worst because it's coming from a Gov.

There is a reason they, just like every other organization, have PRO.

rusher14:
So because Wike says so it is the truth?

That's why I said EFCC should always counter such statements irrespective of who said it.

Wait! The 'truth' you talked about, are you assuming I believe that Dickson traded the State to avoid EFCC prosecution? If that's your thought, then you are wrong. I only want EFCC to assure Nigerians that they are living up to their responsibilities.

Oga Wike and Dickson, I bin don beg una make una stop this quarrel before the ordinary people for street suffer from una wahala o.

BTW, this is one of the problems I have with EFCC. As a professional, anti-corruption agency, there is the need to counter such statements that ('corrupt')people can easily avoid trial for corruption cases by trade-offs.

Oh, really!?

Our nation is bleeding!

Nigeria keeps its USD reserves with foreign correspondence banks (in the US) as well as with the Federal Reserve Bank of the US.

Even commercial banks in Nigeria keep their USD deposits with American banks. In fact, no bank can offer a USD domiciliary account to the public without having a correspondent account with a US bank.

That’s why it’s so easy for the US to sanction and freeze sovereign accounts

Based on what you said, tomorrow, First Bank (assuming that's your bank) will freeze your account. No Christmas for you

CSTR2:
Go to Venezuela and see what unnecessary bravado by the useless govt have done to their people.

In fact, go to Zimbabwe that is here in Africa.

Nigerians will not suffer because of buhari.

Get that into your head.

Alright.
Please America, we Nigerians are on knees begging, don't mind our 'near non-existent' govt. Don't punish us like you did to Venezuela and Zimbabwe because of Buhari. We promise to be faithful, loyal, honest and law abiding.
In behalf of other Nigerians dreaming to come over there and leave this sh.t ho.e, kindly help give me a visa... Mbok

If my statement projected subservience, I wouldnt write, "which we deeply regret".
You see, amongst my research interests, is international relations and geopolitics. Pre-colonial and postcolonial thought streams. If you want to condemn a stance of a foriegn country, you state, "we deeply regret" not "we condemn....". Not the kind of bullish, emotions-ridden kindagartten statements made by Adeshina to excite an emotive, unthinking base.

And I have gone through your previous posts my dear sir. They are over 1,400 of them.
It is clear that you are a Buharist. Which if I were you, I would be very proud of. No wonder, you left out El-Rufai in that your list of names. What has Fayose said that El Rufai or Lai Mohammed not said- and even worse?

Anyway, enjoy your day. I try not to engage with Buharists. They can cause headache

Would you mind posting a few of my previous posts out of the over 1,400 of them that clearly prove I am a Buharist?

I've been on this forum for a little while and I can confidently say we are only a few who are on the path of truth.
Majority of you are either 'Buharist' like you call them or haters or wailers like they call you.

Truth is, haters give me heartache. That's why I stayed away from this forum for a while.

Alright, I agree with you.

Now, based on your research interests in international relations and geopolitics, what is your unbiased opinion on the US statement?

Dedetwo:
This is logic of the monkeys. You claim to care about Nigeria yet you do not mind about the organization which leads the shithole called Nigeria astray.

Don't worry! You won't understand.

madridsta007:
Let me tell you one way of responding with respect to international relations

"We have seen the comments and the designation by the United States which we deeply regret. As allies we will continue to work with the United States and indeed other countries in fostering peace in Nigeria and indeed Sub-Saharan Africa..."

Simple. Measured. Diplomatic. Not going by the same way Saddam and the rest did which we all knew how it end. Will anyone drop down dead if a diplomatic response is made when asked the question? Sadly, with politics in Nigeria today, most people think in binaries- APC and PDP. Hence all these either emotional or mocking response.

I care less about APC, not to even mention PDP. I care about Nigeria.

I believe in diplomacy and peaceful dialogues (that's why I don't like people like NK, FFK, Reno, Fayose, Wike), but I don't subscribe to being subservient to anyone for fear of sanctions not to talk of opposing my country in support of a country who only cares for what they stand to benefit.

einsteine:
You are the one who is stupid and should be ashamed.

If you are put in a list like this as a country, you don't get defensive and start making stupid remarks like that made by Adesina. There are more diplomatic ways to go about it.

You are obviously unaware that Nigeria keeps close to 75% of its foreign reserves in the US.

"...Nigeria keeps close to 75% of its foreign reserves in the US."
What do you mean by that and what does it mean to you?

madridsta007:
lol.
When the US imposes sanctions on Nigeria and inflation rises to Venezuelan and Iran levels you will understand that it is not every problem you solve with a hammer.
That there’s something called “greater good” and “diplomacy”.

"...That there’s something called “greater good” and “diplomacy”".

Now tell me, what's the diplomatic way of handling US that has predicted and are doing everything to bring their prediction to pass? What is the diplomatic way of handling this particular comment from the US? In all sincerity, is there religious intolerance in Nigeria? A place where people had always said are too religious?


"...When the US imposes sanctions on Nigeria..."
Impose sanctions on Nigeria on what grounds? You actually believe Nigeria will go into extinction when US withdraws from what ever relations we have with them?

madridsta007:
You clearly think through and with your emotions.

I think you are the one thinking through and with your emotions.

I no blame una!

A worthy son of our great nation!

Soar higher sir!

azikiweironsi:
Are you minding the kid.?
Shameless people that always believe that until America says jack whether good or bad just jump to their decisions. Nonsense.

It's a shame!

Patrioticman007:
USA Jews are killing Palestinians, that's okay but Nigeria's Shite are now been protected by the same USA.

It's amazing!!!

einsteine:
The officials of the current government are lucky the US government is currently republican and not prone to intervention like the Obama administration before it. If not, they would all be on a sanctions list with these unguarded replies.

Sincerely, the average Nigerian is plain Stu...

Are you a Nigerian? Are you not ashamed of yourself saying something like this?

madridsta007:
Lol accusing the US of acting as a “World Police”, while it’s true, doesn’t ever, ever end well.

Libya. Iraq. Syria. Bolivia. Venezuela. Nigeria?
You would expect the educated ones in Beau Harry’s regime to be sensible but no, they are illogical as the certificate-less one.

This is not APC or PDP matter. Anyone with a fleeting understanding of geopolitics will caution the Buhari regime not to bite more than it can chew.

Forget bravado. You. Cannot. Stand. Or. Challenge. America. The Dems and Republicans are always United with it comes to the foreign policy of regime change and toppling regimes.

You clearly have complex issues...

SoNature:
Did the US stop you from putting them on watchlist?

Beta product no dey beg person make dem buy am

If beta countries dey talk, Nigeria too go talk

*Long hissssssss*

American! Well done sir!

Beta country kee you dia!

I passionately want an Igbo man to be the President of Nigeria but not in 2023.
If that happens, only God will save Nigerians and Nigeria from the crisis that will result from hostile opposition

Racoon:

Do zombiesm with some pride and dignity.The many unpardonable gaffes of this present government is never worth defending.Imagining Femi Adeshina saying had the wicked authoritative regime of 1983-85 continued, then Nigeria would have been Eldorado.Posterity & karma will catch up with him.

Stop being ...

With all the sporadic shootings and other inhuman vices going on in the US, which country in the world has placed them under any watch!

I wonder how someone can be in pains from January to December without a moment's joy

Abeg, I dey stand between the two of una. Make una drop the bottle wey dey una hands before una go use am break the heads of ordinary people for street.

wizzyrich:
What's the difference ?

There is a veeeeery little difference o

In short, big difference. Unless you were not in Nigeria when PDP was in power or your state wasn't a PDP state.

I agree you are 'lucky.' Very lucky that it's not the PDP type of 'Federal might.'

Ndibunna:
This is what you get when you elect a Coward into political office.

Since when has peaceful coexistence and collaboration translate to cowardice?

Chinua once said we often stand at the compound of the coward to point at the ruined houses of the brave.
