All these things you are talking is past tense. Now the equation has changed. North Korea has developed an intercontinental ballistic missle with a nuclear war head that can finish USA. Today North Korea is the biggest threat of US and it's allies. USA no longer has the power they once had.

Chukazu:


Because nigeria is secular state

Buhari can't pin his religious sympathy on every Nigerian. How do you think Muslims would feel if A Christian president like Jonathan had Done the opposite that is in favor of Israel?

So the best is to sit on the fence and abstain

Bosun13:
Religion and politics....uhhhm!
Some people don’t know dis is nt d religion matter but politics , some Christian here in Nigeria don’t know Israel hate Christian in general. They want only jew to dominate Isreal.... Christian in Palestine more than that of Israel

BluntBoy:


It would be a blessing for us. According to the Dependency Theory, the less we depend on core states, the more we would develop. You think these core states like America are doing us a favor by giving us aids? Of course, not. They are simply encouraging us to depend on them, thereby suppressing our chances of developing. It is a sort of neocolonialism that needs to stop soon for Nigeria to truly attain greatness.

beamtopola:

its time for USA to send more arms to tompolo and co to destroy abuja.

obailala:
Stop being an obsessed anti buhati/Christian vs Muslim fanatic, it's beginning to eat into your ability to apply common sense and it makes you sound no different from the very thing you accuse buhari of. 128 frontline world countries voted against the resolution; going by your wisdom, those 128 countries are also pushing for Islamic agenda just like your buhari right? Is Nigeria more secular than those 128 countries?

Built2last:
It was a wanton charade by UN. That election is a diplomatic misfire that should not have happened. U.S is a sovereign nation with right to move their capital and recognize any place in the world.

The vote against that decision is so useless that it will further show how weak UN has become. Nothing will happen to U.S and Israel. That decision of Trump stands.

America carries 22 percent of entire UN budget. If they withdraw that. UN will retrench staff for the first time in History. Humanitarian aid world over will feel the impact.

The vote was wrongly timed. Diplomatic reach out should have continued....see Nigeria wey dey beg U.S for military arms and support dey vote against them. Issoari

dermmy:


I respect ur intellectual capability and analysis. All the useless comments have being reading shows many people are not versed in intl politics. In a world where China and Russia are ready to cement their influence and ties with many countries. They would be glad to fill in the space 90% of the aid US give is military aid and Russia / China would be happy to do that.

The era of US aggression and bullying is over, nations are ready to stand up against US barbaric act. The two-state solution remains.

BeeBeeOoh:
He don't know that matters like this are very sensitive the best thing for him to do is to stay neutral but, I don't blame him at all because person wey no know book no know book. Please, someone should tell him that US doesn't forget, they will pay him back in no distant time

revolt:
But couldn't our dumb president stay neutral. What's our biz with Palestine. Us is a major contributor to our economy. Should we be bitng their fingers without a replacement for them?

NaijaMutant:
I'm strongly in support of the US and Israel alliance to crush terrorism in the world in whatever form it rears it head.

The Palestinians are only playing the victim card here because they were overpowered by Israel, yet they are still bearing their fangs of terrorism with Hamas and other terrorist groups targeting Israel on daily basis. imagine if reverse was the case, Israel would have been bombed into extinction.

Israel's attack on Palestine is only reactionary.

sucess001:


Some of u ain't verse in international politics....

Gone are the days you will fear offending the US. Nigeria has started taking stands without fear of US backlash. We did it wen they pressured us for the gay law. If US withdraw their support...other world powers like Russia and China will gladly fill that space. The latter are even looking to grow their influence in Africa so its an opportunity they crave. Secondly Nigeria is a leader in Africa and any responsible member of the UN will condemn a move that will surely destabilise the region and disrupt the peace process. If uk, france, germany, Japan and Korea can oppose the us on this...it tells u a lot....y'all need to know the history of the issue to understand why the world is against the move. The CIA director under Obama called the move 'beyond outrageous'.- especially when the us threatened countries that planned to vote for the resolution.


The us under trump is acting as a rogue state and any responsible country will stand up to be counted in opposing it

donneco:
That confirms it.
Nigeria is an islamist nation

Aphrygian:
oga your head too correct, i pity some countries, very soon they will start showing them pepper by cutting their aids to them.

nairalandbuzz:
Nigeria is so foolish to vote for

airfinance:

That means you are short of memory, did you know Jonathan in 2014 voted against the recognition of Palestine as a sovereign state .? You guys always bring sentiments to critical discuss.

donneco:
That confirms it.
Nigeria is an islamist nation

mpowa:


Nobody is ganging Up against Isreal, Trump is just a sick President who thinks he can control other countries by Bullying. Politics is not that plain, you need tact, not just unnecessary brashness, There's a reason why past US presidents thou wanted to install Jerusalem as the capital of Isreal but did not carry it through...but their Orange Ting thinks he knows more than everyone else, he just keep embarrassing the US since his inception into office. In another circumstance, I think many of these countries will vote in favor of Israel.

vedd:
Buhari must stop projecting his Islamic agenda on Nigeria's domestic and foreign policy.

The aboki should go to Saudi Arabia and be their grand Mahdi.

Ewedegubbler:


LoooooooL.. take away china that protects NC for its own strategic polical reasons, North Korea will not even beat the South in open warefare talkledd of the USA.
Take away Chima from the equation and There will be nothing like North Korea

2lateBiafra:



SHUT-UP

Tecno66:
Even South Korea that they are backing in the Korean penninsular. I am sure that is why they said they are taking record of the voting pattern. You cant be collecting their aid money and be voting against them.

donneco:
That confirms it.

Agritech:
England, France, Germany voted against the US.

lastempero:


Having stash of us dollars and giving people low life technology invention that will not take them anywhere like China cannot make u a world power or is it Russia that's battling with obsolete technology,a shrinking population and few money to spend will be world powers.China and co can only play second fiddle or try to be relevant but been a world power is no no thing for them..
