Nigeria As A Beggar Nation And Senator Leahy’s Rudeness - Yemi Adebowale,thisday by Nobody: 10:16pm On Aug 01, 2015 |
The Buhari administration asked for the insult and got it in full dose. I am talking about that excruciating insult from the uncultured United States Senator Patrick Leahy, the sponsor of the Leahy Law on Human Rights. Imagine this thoughtless senator calling our gallant soldiers “murderers and rapists.” Leahy went further to say that, “Nigerian army personnel have for many years engaged in a pattern and practice of gross violations of human rights against the Nigerian people and others, including summary executions of prisoners, indiscriminate attacks against civilians, torture and forced disappearances. Rarely have the perpetrators been prosecuted or punished.” I would not have bothered myself one bit, but for the painful fact that the slight is also rubbing on intelligent and forward-looking Nigerians who have always maintained that we have no business crawling to beg the United States for anything.
This administration and indeed previous administration have painfully turned Nigeria into a beggar nation. It was despicable watching President Muhammadu Buhari begging President Barack Obama for arms and funds to fight Boko Haram. At the end of the day, Obama did not make any commitment on counter-terrorism assistance to Nigeria. If Buhari is still expecting Barack Obama to help him with arms to fight Boko Haram, then, he must be a big joker.
The most annoying part of the drama was when Buhari returned home and retracted his earlier statement that the Leahy Law “aided and abetted” the campaign of bloodletting by Boko Haram. Suddenly, we were told that our President did not indict the US Government for helping Boko Haram under the cover of Leahy Law. Buhari’s media aides who have become notorious for always issuing “clarifications” told the nation that Buhari’s statement was misinterpreted. Is our all-mighty Buhari afraid of the United States? I went back to Buhari’s statement yesterday and took the quote again. It reads: “Unwittingly, and I dare say, unintentionally, the application of the Leahy law amendment by the US government has aided and abetted the Boko Haram terrorist group in the prosecution of its extremist ideology and hate, the indiscriminate killings and maiming of civilians, in raping of women and girls, and in their other heinous crimes.” So, why the sudden turn around by Buhari? Why is he suddenly saying that he did not indict the US?
It is an undisputable fact that the US has all along been tacitly supporting Boko Haram. What pains me most about the Buhari misadventure to the US is that he went crawling to a country that has never been our friend in the war against terrorism. This same US refused to sell arms to the Jonathan administration when Boko Haram took over territories in our dera country. We to Russia and got the job done. With the aid of Russian arms and technical support, we were able to push the terrorists out of occupied territories. So, why did Buhari go back to the treacherous Americans? I still can’t fathom the reason. The United States is not bothered one bit about the Boko Haram killings in Nigeria. I am sure that we all can still remember US’s response to the abduction of Chibok girls. After the abduction, the US government made so much noise about helping us; but that was where it ended. Nothing concrete followed.
We should be moving closer to Russia and China if we want to completely eliminate Boko Haram. They are more dependable. Russia has proved it. I expected Buhari to visit Russia immediately he was sworn in to consolidate the war but he did not. Rather, he sacked the Russian and South African experts working with our military on the front line. This has resulted in the setback we are experiencing on the war front. Buhari has dragged the war against Buhar back several steps because of his frightening American mentality. The termination of the technical contract with South African and Russian experts has also retarded the war against Boko Haram. The only good thing I took away from Senator Leahy’s diatribe was his advice to Buhari to “face up to his own responsibility to effectively counter Boko Haram.” Unfortunately, our President is not offering anything new in the war against Boko Haram. He is doing precisely what his predecessor did – run to US, G7, Chad, Niger, Cameroon. Just like Jonathan, he is already talking about negotiating with the terrorists. Clearly, Buhari has no blue print on how to tackle this crisis. He should look beyond the United States; put together a Think Tank to draw up a pragmatic response and get down to work. We need to remind our dear president that over almost 800 people have been killed by Boko Haram in just 64 days of his presidency. See table below. Buhari promised to put an end to Boko Haram menace within two months. Unfortunately, under his watch, Boko Haram reared its ugly head and resumed deadly attacks.
One other thing Buhari went to beg Obama for was for the Americans to help trace and return stolen Nigeria money stashed in the US. Our President puts the amount at $150 billion. Haba, Buhari, you expect the American government to recover $150 billion from their economy and transfer same to Nigeria? Don’t you know that the American government will never take any action that will hurt its economy? Don’t you know that this stolen money partly sustains the American economy? They are aware of the stolen money and will never take any action to return it. Of course, Obama did not also make any commitment on this too. Buhari should stop displaying embarrassing naivety.
