On why he decided to visit Ghana then, Obama had said, “Ghana’s history is rich, the ties between our two countries are strong, and I am proud that this is my first visit to sub-Saharan Africa as President of the United States.

“And I have come here, to Ghana, for a simple reason: the 21st century will be shaped by what happens not just in Rome or Moscow or Washington, but by what happens in Accra as well.

if after this you don't realize that your parents have wasted a lot of money sending you to school, then wahala don dey be that.
didn't US and Britain threaten sanctions and aid withdrawal when our senate debated the same sex marriage bill? why do you think that bill has not passed house of rep by now, not to talk of it getting to the president.
during Obasanjo's regime in 2001, Nigeria sought to partner with North Korean to help us develop our own missile technology, the US government threatened us with sanctions and the idea was dropped.
so my guy, we've been threatened twice and those are just threats that were made publicly. as far as i know there must have been others that were issued privately.
dude, are sure you are enlightened? cos you sound to me like a bush man with access to internet undecided
you now see how ignorant you are. grin


Lol. D idiott doesn't even knw d difference btw threatenin to withdraw aid and sanctions.


Bros...google the two...and come back to apologize for shaming ur parents on NL.

And ur senselessness also doesn't seem to comprehend dt thereis wat is called diplomatic posturing.

that's another proof.
you know dude, it would help if you back up your senseless rants with facts. cos my 9 year old nephew is having a laugh here grin.
so you call threatening with sanctions diplomatic posturing? you've seen too many action films. grin counter my arguments with facts. as i have done, and stop behaving like a bush man.
you need to seriously check the missile technology deal we almost had.. i remember it was Atiku who had that meeting with the North Koreans.
or did you have cable then?
abi them no teach you how to present your facts for school wey you go? (that's if you went sef)
you sound like someone who was schooled in a beer parlor.

and you still haven't proven why we shouldn't look for another market aside from US. na this one i go take fall your hand grin olodo

I understand you want to b proud of your country but the stark reality is that Ghana and South Arica are the model countries for Africa..

You cant compare Ghna's economy and stability to Nigeria.

Besides, Nigeria with its insecurity challenges, is not attractive to investors d way Ghana is...

Its the stark reality.

my friend keep quiet and learn.
Last year obama announced that the US is now making every effort to depend on itself for energy needs. And he also said that they have discovered a new source of energy that is more eco friendly and sustainable than our kind of oil *shale oil*
This is evident as the oil export from Nigeria to US dropped from 800,000 bpd in 2012 to 580,000 bpd in 2013. Because US is gradually increasing their local production.
And since oil is our main trade with the US, our finance minister said there is every need for Nigeria to start exploring other emerging powers that need this oil to keep up with their development
this is where brazil, china and others come in.
Unlike you my dull friend, i don't rely on google for information. I stay current on world affairs.
So no matter the trade volume we have with them, it is bound to drop every year.
You really need to get an education my friend. Cos you sound very ignorant.
And it's even my small nephew that just suggested this reply. So bury your head in shame. Olodo
and why am i the only one that sounds intelligent in this argument. Cos the only thing i understand from your comments are *idiot, foolish and senseless* if you ask me, only ignorant people argue that way.

That is obvious from the words, "and investing in the next generation of African leaders".

GEJ represents the 'old' generation of African leaders- corrupt,clueless,dull and unproductive !

your inability to pay attention to details and understand simple reasoning clearly exposes your intellectual disability. (Google it if you don't understand. since Google is your only source of education)

if you are so bright i would like you to quote me when i said we should dissociate ourselves from the US, and we won't have oil in 20 years.
go through my previous comments and quote me. dummy.
that's why i said you should pay more attention to details. tongue
what I've always advocated is that we need to stop relying on the US, cos it gives them leverage over us.
and of course i expect my nephew to be more intelligent than me. duh!! that's why i travel with him, to be more exposed. rather than sit behind a computer and wallow down mixed information from the internet.
and dude if you are the smartest person in your generation, then i must be arguing with the wrong person.
I'll advise that you go out more often and mix with smarter people. that way you'll know how to express yourself without embarrassing your parents tongue

and in what way are you trying to enlighten me? that we keep depending on a market that is becoming less interested in our oil? and have you heard that this has put a strain on our 2013 budget due to the drop in export to the US? guy do you even know anything about economics?
The only thing you've been doing is diverting from facts that i've been giving you.
clearly you have no brains to enlighten yourself, and not to talk of anyone.

just try and discuss this with anyone that's already in the industry. then you'll realize how silly you've been sounding here.
i wonder if am talking to an adult here, or a bushman that just strolled through school.
