Bullcrap.
And why are peeps liking YOUR post ?
Anyone who followed the Egyptian problem closely will know that this was not an ordinary coup.
In fact, over 90% of Egyptians were begging the military to intervene. We saw all the jubilations that followed Morsi's removal.
Whatever we think, the wish of all egyptians should be paramount - not what GEJ or Obama, whatever thinks.
We have all been brainwashed by this idea that THE BEST MILITARY GOVT. IS WORSE THAN THE WORST DEMOCRACY.
Because of this , u see our politicians hiding under democracy to perpetuate evil n massive corruption.
At least the egyptian army were decent - they didn't install a fellow military man. They installed the Chief Justice.
The Nigerian FG is condemning . . . . . .condemning what ? Are u better ** sucking up to Obama**
SmH.

Frank-C:


The number of people that don't like Morsi in Egypt, are they more than the number of people that don't like Cameron in UK or Obama in US of Netanyahu in Isreal? Do they have less number of youths in their fold? The important question is why are they not in the streets? Was there no jubilation on Nigerian streets the day Abacha took over government? Some of you need to really think before you type stuff like this!!

olubuffett: They are worried Nigerians might do the same thing, no need to be agitated Nigerians are busy watching dstv, so it won't happen.

Jeel: Just diplomacy

Learn to keep aside your emotions when you react to issues. Emotions of love, hatred, anger, happiness, joy etc does not guide clear headed decision. This is what the youth cannot do and what older men do, the very reason they are said to be wiser.

Read the writing of the fathers of democracy you pretend to talk about and understand that the Egyptian style revolution was replaced by ballot boxes for a reason. Find and read the writings of from John Lock to George Washington and understand the basic ideology of democracy. Democracy actually came to be and have been refined over the years to evolve a more civilized way of changing political power. That is why intelligent people talk about 'streaghtening democratic institutions' and not youths with unbridled energy taking to the streets and burning down their cities until they dethron a 'dictator'!!

sobaemma: My guy shut up,presido i say shut up,foreign minister shut up,if u.s,uk,eu talk as developed countries,we that are still struggling with boko haram,our number one citizen travelling to borrow money form china,citizens living in poverty,then u come to talk?only south africa are permitted to talk in africa,cus the government are not selfless

vokal_guy: How will they not condemn the removal of the Egyptian President?! Its because we are too 'soft' maybe Nigerians should learn a thing or two from these Egyptians!

Too many kids running around the block. Nigerian government foreign policy has been very solid, consistent and more ideologically driven lately. Nigeria has had a very bitter experience of military rule. Most Nigerians (apart from few CPC/ACN people) believe that the worst civilian government is better than the best military government.

Nigeria is an acclaimed regional power. A power house that is fast translating her potentials to reality. African biggest democracy and home to more than 250 black african ethnic nationalities who coexist side by side amidst mind boggling contradictions. Home to strong but professional military and a fast maturing democracy.

You can quote me, no voice on the continent is stronger on this issue than Nigeria's. Only ACN/CPC touts and few illiterates will link this strategic foreign policy position to a terribly unlikely similar event in Nigeria or to local party politics, I will not be surprised if some of them even link it to Amaechi because that is all their little mind can see. Which normal human being will expect Nigerian government to remain silent on the happenings in Egypt (your strong ally during your difficult period of civil war), nor even expect the government to support military intervention in civilian politics. Morsi may represent something reprehensible, I personally don't like any political party that espouse religious ideology but he was chosen by majority of Egyptian people for a time limited tenure. Egyptians should learn to strenghten their democratic institutions to impeach the guy but not remove him by street protests and military intervention. Besides, no government fixes a country after one year in office. Rolling out tanks in the street of Egypt just betrays the weakness of Egyptian democratic institutions.

You will notice well reasoned foreign policy position from this government. Ranging from Mali to Libya and now Egypt. There seem to be robust debate in the 'war room' before a position is taken and we have never been proven wrong. Actually, South Africa lost her leadership role in Africa to Nigeria because of the way we have conducted our foreign policy. Not that I expect children to understand this, but I know that GEJ and Ashiru are doing something right.

Lordlexy: @Rossikk, i unbriddle folks like u will always have sometin contrary to say even when u are not making any sense just to be on d good page of d govt. But whether u like or not, one day Nigerians will have their own version, and i promise u, u will be swept off, because ur post as politics is concerns, lack substance, justifies and endorses lawlessness. If making such sacrifices is all tat is required to set a better democratic precedence, then we are ready.

The truth is that, a coup in Nigeria is the fastest way to disintegration. I don't see Nigerians being under a coup anymore. Nigeria is too big for that.

Jack Baueress: Nigeria's opinion does not matter. Does it?

Kamanda:

Monkey

Hezron Lorraine: it does matter.Nigeria is a Principal member of the AU and an african power nation.
Our opinion determines the reactions of other.Most nations wait for Nigeria,SA,Ethiopia to speak out on issues of this kind on africa.
Our voice on Africa is what canvasses vote in support or against Morsi's overthrow.
Nigeria is more influential than u think,because most of you think Influence is now determined by Obama's visit.smh.

Hezron Lorraine: chimp.
Nigeria's Foreign Policy as not only be boosted to support Nigeria's economy,but also we've seen Modern day diplomacy.have you seen how Nigeria plays its foreign objectives.
Libya,they were right on Gaddafi.they are delivering in Mali.nigeria is running for the UN Security Council unchallenged by any other african country,while it still pursues ambition for a permanent seat which it silently has Britain and France's support though both nations are yet to openly endorse Nigeria since there's still isn't open delberation for expansion of the council.
Nigeria keeps delivering on top level issues in UN,and its reps have provided frameworks that turn out successful on many issues of relevancy.

The other day,I was arguing here on NL when those russian sailors were released that Russia can't nuke Nigeria without starting WW3,some said Russia has imaginary friendship with Nigeria and no other superpower will fight for us.
Its just many know little of our Foreign Policy,How strong Nigeria's diplomatic corp is.

mankand:

So you still believe in Nigeria been giant of Africa?

FYI nigeria already lost its respect due to massive corruption of our leaders tainting the image of our dear country. I did not think you have been to smaller African countries and see how they treat Nigerian passports.

You only site in your room claiming giant of Africa

Hezron Lorraine: cheap propaganda.every nation has its own stain of corruption and maladministration.this surely determines how others perceive u.
Nigeria knows where it belongs to on world matters.Nigeria is a Giant with Feets of a Dwarf.Still a giant is a giant.it needs be feared.
The cases of disrespect to Nigerians abroad doesn't go unreciprocated or unchallenge.the govt can only do little with diplomacy in most cases.

mankand:

where does nigeria belongs to? The country can only be placed in the class of Bangladesh, Pakistan.
No,in some category yes.in others a strong NO.

The fact is that the responsibility of taking the country to its rightful position lies in our hands and not expecting an incompetent government to do it.


I totally agree to this,but come to think of it.the same citizens went to polls and voted in this incompetent govt.part of the fault lies with us for sending into power someone who would fail or deliver little.
The question we should ask ourselves is how do we do it?

kinguwem: I support you totally. Though Egypt is more developed than Nigeria.

Nigeria is more advanced politically. Democracy is the modern means of governance. A military coup is an uncivilized means of solving a political dispute.

Jack Baueress: Nigeria's opinion does not matter. Does it?

Hezron Lorraine:
It starts with sustainability of an undying and determined spirit of the citizens to hold the govt accountable for its actions.
I'm glued to CNN and Aljazeera right now,and this protest are deadly,3 already dead,dozens wounded.serious protests by both factions.in a Nigeria uprising like this we can't bond together to demand what is right or expected.the fuel subsidy protest was hijacked by opponents of GEJ and turned to fun-fare where they called musicians for performance and fed the protesters.the Egypt case is different,many slept in the rain,heavy desert sun beats them.the squares are locked as limited movement due to heavy congestion of the protesters.

We start from putting in the right person,but at times we vote the best person who isn't necessarily the right candidate.Egypt is a case study.
