Not only ANC my friend

Nigeria has been in the frontline for the realisation of freedom and total fundamental liberties in every African country, especially in the Southern Africa sub-region. The Murtala Muhammed - Olusegun Obasanjo regime, in a successful attempt to send warning signals, to the whole world, that it would not tolerate, nor flirt with any country doing business with the white minority regime in South Africa, nationalized the local operations of Barclays Bank in Nigeria, after that bank ignored the strong protests by Nigeria, advising it, not to buy the South African government bond,which would be in violation of the economic/trade embargo on the racist South African regime.



Nigeria's Murtala Muhammed - Olusegun Obasanjo regime, nationalized the British Petroleum (BP) for supplying oil to South Africa. This was at a time, when South Africa needed action and not just rhetorics to give momentum to the struggle for freedom from the white masters. These were no mean and easy decisions. These were decisions that carried very enormous political implications. These decisions were capable of attracting serious political, economic and social reprisals. However, for love for our brothers and sisters in South Africa, Nigeria risked all, to help South Africa gain freedom.



Also, to help South Africa gain independence, Nigeria led a boycot of the 1978 Games in protest of New Zealand's sporting contacts with apartheid South Africa, and 32 of 59 nations from Africa, Asia, and the Caribbean joined a Nigeria led boycot of the 1986 Commonwealth Games due to the Thatcher government's attitude towards South African .Nigeria, a member of the common wealth mobilized it's diplomatic influence, and led majority of the common wealth countries to boycott these common wealth games as a show of solidarity to South Africa and to send a message to the white country members in the common wealth and in the world generally, that Nigeria will fight with it's all, to set our brothers and sisters in South Africa free. This was a herculean task. The mobilisation for this boycott, deeply tested Nigeria's claim to leadership in Africa and beyond. Alas, the mobilisation was very successfull. And the common wealth games, that year, was a sorry story. From that moment onwards, the whole world took notice and the struggle for the liberation of South Africa was immediately hyper-accelerated. And the rest is now history.



Nigeria is also reputed to have provided secret military training at the Kaduna first mechanized army division and provided other material, financial and diplomatic support to African National Congress guerrilla forces. Who can quantify the millions of dollars, that Nigeria spent on the A. N. C. during the struggle to liberate South Africa ?.

Listen to yourself, how many Nigerians of Jonathan's age were brought up with English in their Families, if not imposed on them in school, that was why I added south-africa, have u heard Nigerian footballers who didn't go to school speak english compared to their colleagues from other countries. Don't tell its not their official language, I have seen mexicans who learnt English just from TV. I've heard chinese from someone who majored in English, haven't you heard Arab interpreters who studied English in US, UK, Canada for years, does that accent leave (is it still as good compared to ours)
Even US and UK citizens still make oral mistake, not to now talk of Nigeria with the accent issue. Dude, apart from countries where English is their native language, Nigeria's English still ranks high compared to other countries that also made English their official language.
Use google man, before you insult people you don't know.
Still trying hard to justify your daft void brain,my grand father whose first child is older than GEJ speaks English more fluently than GEJ yet he grew up in a remote village.
So whats your point birdbrain, maybe you forgot our dear president is a Ph. D holder.

Have you heard a south-african speak english, what of an Arab, a chinese, do you know generally we speak better english than them. Have you heard foreign (german, spanish...) Footballers speak English? Do you know their pronunciation is highly terrible, why don't you ask a white man to come learn and speak Yoruba, Igbo or Hausa.
You dumb piece of $hit
But their Lingua Franca is not Yoruba, Igbo or Hausa.

Lmao grin grin @ writing a scumbag like you a letter ,keep on hallucinating and having this schizophrenia that runs in your family.

My advice to you is to stop doing cheap crack before coming to spew trash before intelligent and well read people whilst deceiving yourself that you're an American even your grammatical composition can only be compared to that of an ordinary village boy that had no access to quality education.How i wish that NL can narrow down peep's location to enable us see that cave you keep crawling out from to type this your gibberish that stinks with bad educational background.

Your type probably live in one Detroit ghetto committing unimaginable crimes while basking in the euphoria of living abroad because if your life is so sweet ,you wouldn't give a rat azz about what happens in Nigeria but i guess that your failure and frustration keeps getting the better part of you ,hence the usual ranting like a rabid mad dog without an owner.......smh

This is not history its your version of self importance. We know how you make up stories and tell them so many times that you believe them and that is your history. If remember correctly you are the worst at recording history of even your own country let alone other countries. You still argue about what happened in your civil war, with versions that are miles apart depending on which tribe tells the story. Asseblief tog before asking people to take history lessons take care of you 30year gap in history.

lol @reimbursement....guess someone got rich......I am a Nigerian and will probably get stick for this, but I like you Am sick of reading we did this for one country or the other song most Nigerians love to sing....

All the countries they claim to have helped are making giant strides, yet our only claim to greatness is to move about boasting of rendering help.

Not too long ago it was Ghana and the claim then was that "look at the people we chased out of our country now feeling on top of the world"

I am not sure, but I believe the giant of africa mantra started after the 96 olympics, which cameroon won 4 yrs later.

Hopefully we would learn that a gift is not a gift when a return is expected.

Funny thing is even this "I did it for you" mentality is commonplace in the country.

I am a Nigerian, and I don't defend rubbish, except anybody defines amala and gbegiri as rubbish
