Why Nigerian military has difficulty getting arms from America — U.S. govt.
--------------------
The American government has given insight into why the Nigerian military is facing difficulty procuring arms from the United States to combat the extremist Boko Haram sect wreaking havoc in Nigeria’s North East region.
The real reason why our great county Nigerian and its military has difficulty getting arms from America is BECAUSE NIGERIA REFUSE TO JOIN THE GAY CLUB. Last year, Nigerians united in praise of the administration of president Jonathan for signing the Anti-Gay Law in defiance of the western countries. Uganda did the same, but later backtracked due to overwhelming pressure from the west. Nigeria also faced sinister pressures from the west but refused to bulge. For once, Nigerians agreed the administration did the right thing and vowed to stick with the administration on this issue to the end no matter what. In international diplomacy no country snub or slight the United states and not get a pay back. And Nigeria slighted the united states when she signed the anti-gay law, and now its pay back time. Nigeria is seriously faced with the threat of insurgents in her soil and need sophisticated weapons to curb them. Now we need the US for supply of arms which they bluntly refused. The US has vowed to make nigeria pay for daring to assert her sovereign right as a nation. US have asked her allies not to give weapons to nigeria. As the insurgency continue to hit harder and eat deeper into nigeria, and nigeria out of desperation have to turn to South Africa a sister nation to covertly help nigeria procure these weapons from the west. Nigeria in her desperation for weapons forgot that SA is a member of the Gay club and will have to put the interest of her club members first. The embarrassment nigeria got from the SA government recently is not a coincident. This is a gang up by the US and her allies to bring nigeria to her knees and to make her pay for her defiance. SA has not been comfortable with nigeria's stance on the Gay issue in Africa and therefore waiting for opportunity to undo nigeria. Nigerians who clapped for this administrations' position on the gay issue are the ones who now berate the administration for its effort to find ways through the backlash to get the much needed weapons for our military. The insurgents, rebels or terrorists-call them whatever you like- get their weapons from foreign countries, while nigeria is not allowed. And no international effort has been made to place arms embargo on the rebels. It is a well known fact that some of the rebels weapons are more sophisticated than that of our military. At a point it was noticed that rebels have night vision goggles which our military don't have. Immediately after the chibok girls abduction, the US who refuse to sell us weapons came with so much noise and fan fare pretending to help us, only for them to fly their spy planes round our airspace seaching out our weaknesses and nothing was heard of the US again. I want us to understand that the war on our soil is an international conspiracy against nigeria by the west or gay club member countries led by the US. This is the time we have to rally round the government to enbolden the government to stand its ground. Unnecessary and sentimental criticism of the government may weaken the administrations' resolve and give in to the US demand for nigeria to become a Gay country.

Let's not be decieved the claimed to have the cure for ebola yet an american citizen died of the deadly virus, why couldn't they use the Zmapp or wateva d claimed that cud cure ebola instead d allowed an almighty american citizen die.... The truth is slowly revealing itself
Now is the best time to stand firmly behind our government because We are fighting international war and not mere rebels. And also our government has to shift our alliance to Russian and China now.

I am beginning to get confused on what 2 believe.

Liars!

I won't bother disecting your theories but just to let you know your theories lack merit whatsoever.

Well u make sense small

Well u make sense small i might believe u later tho

20% right

Nice writeup... I guess dats d truth.

Stup1d story with no evidence to back it up

this is what you get from making Nigeria an enemy


China has toppled America to become the biggest
economy in the world, according to figures from
the International Monetary Fund.
The US has been the global leader since it
overtook Britain in 1872, but has now lost its
status as top dog.
The latest IMF figures show the Chinese economy
is worth £11trillion compared with £10.8trillion for
the US.
China – whose wealth has accelerated in recent
decades amid rapid industrialisation – is expected
to extend its lead, with the IMF estimating its
economy will be worth £16.7trillion in 2019.
That would be 20 per cent bigger than the US
economy, which is forecast to be worth
£13.8trillion by then.
The numbers are based on ‘purchasing power
parity’ (PPP) which makes adjustments for the fact
that goods are cheaper in countries such as China
relative to the US.
Without these adjustments for living costs, the
Chinese economy is still smaller than that of the
US, at £6.4trillion.
But experts have described the toppling of America
after nearly 150 years by China – even on the PPP
measure – as a ‘symbolic’ moment for the global
economy.
China enjoyed three decades of double-digit
growth before the global downturn, as
industrialisation and sweeping economic reforms
created a new powerhouse in the East.
Growth has slowed in recent years but remains
strong by Western standards with the IMF
forecasting expansion of 7.4 per cent this year and
7.1 per cent in 2015.
By contrast, the IMF is predicting growth of just
2.2 per cent in the US this year and 3.1 per cent
next year, while the UK is set for expansion of 3.2
per cent and 2.7 per cent.
The Fund yesterday said the US and the UK ‘are
approaching economic lift-off’ as they bounce
back from the recession. But Olivier Blanchard,
chief economist at the IMF, warned that ‘potential
growth is lower than it was in the early 2000s’ for
much of the West, including the US and UK. Nigeria an enemy

I see

F-ck US and their weapons Russia weapons are good enough.

We are. Soveriegn Nation,we don't need US to help us-Zimbabwe has a strong force,they don't need US for nothing,just cos we have clueless leaders here.

All we need in Nigeria is disciplined...imagine a self serving National assembly spending 1biillion dollars a year for passiing self serving bills and stealing another several billions...we are in trouble if we don't scrap these National assembly,they hve no value.

I would rather not comment on the conspiracy theory part even though those of us who are familiar with America's modern dictatorship will slightly agree. However, the arms purchase issue with SA is purely our fault.

Let's call a spade exactly what it is. GEJ and his allies bleeped up big time. Are you telling me the government doesn't know the laws of SA? Or why was no proper documentation procured to enable the free movement of such big money?

If they did the right thing in the first place, why did it take them 1 full month to present the necessary documents to certify that the arms purchase was what the money was meant for?

Let's call a spade exactly what it is, a spade.

4/10%

So wetin make we do?

Well said Op that is the fuxking truth. The only thing the US refused to understand is that BOKO HARAM may be nigeria problem today,if they keep playing games with us because HOMO,and allows these BH boys to gain grand. In the near future it we be global problem which US will suffer must just like they did in Iraq.

When nigeria asked for Zhamp ( not sure of d spelling )EBOLA they the refused,now what is happening? Last bullet. ...cow wen no get Teal na God be him Teal.

Instead of you to say, "this is what I think is the reason why USA won't sell us weapons", you went ahead and credited this fictional piece to the US govt! How more insane can you go?

Be like say america dey craze

Immediately I read the gay line...I just laughed and stopped reading that garbage.

They can go to hell with their weapons we controlled Ebola with out their help and we would also eliminate BH with out their weapons.

How are we sure that Boko Haram is not behind the spread of ebola? The man that took the ebola to Texas was sponsored,because he took his relative,an ebola patient to hospital in a wheel barrow,meaning that he's very poor,i don't think someone that took a relative to hospital in a wheel barrow can afford to travel to America,he was definitely sponsored to transfer it to America,maybe it's Boko Haram,who knows?

Rightly spelt out

After reading your considerably long write up that is entirely based on self led analysis, irrational conjecture and completely unsubstantiated, I would otherwise ignore such nonsensical propositions. However, there are those who may be gullible enough to give you credence.

I will put a number of Questions to you that essentially rubbishes your suppositions.

• Is Egypt gay friendly ? Certainly not, with punishments of up to 25 years for offenders. However, Egypt has procured some of the US most advanced weapon systems such as F16 and Apache Attack helicopters, etc. In addition Egypt receives Billions of $ in military aid , yes lots of freebees from Uncle Sam.

• Essentially all the North African countries as well as the entire Arab world have varying degrees of punishment, some even stoning for acts of homosexuality. Saudi Arabia has even the option of death sentence, quite a few adventurous western have been severely punished in Saudi for their homosexuality. Who’s the US biggest arms customer most probable Saudi Arabia.



• Kenya has outlawed homosexuality with sentences of up to 14 years in jail. They still receive military aid from the US quite recently there is talk of Kenya procuring F15 Eagles from Israel, that can only come with US approval.


• Morocco, Pakistan and Jordan have all outlawed homosexuality and procure some of the most advanced weapon stations from the USA indeed Morocco and Pakistan are users of the F16 Fighting falcon.


With regard to the issues of aid and assistance in combating Boko, it has become glaringly obvious that the conflict has become politicised, and there has been clear insincerity and conflict within government as well as the problems of endemic corruption the situation is chaotic and makes it impossible for any external partners to engage with Nigeria concisely.

Add to that intended misinformation and propaganda generated by the Armed forces, we are told Boko have not held any territory but confirmed reports have contradicted government claims.

The final problem is any constructive criticism is deemed sabotage and associated with being a boko sympathiser.

Nice write up. However, #idontbelieveit

Fellow Nigerians our victory over Ebola was not a cheap one Ameyo Adadevoh gave her life for it, Many salt water drinkers and "bathers" paid the ultimate sacrifice
Our country rose in Unison to confront the disease and achieved success in record time, we had casualties along the line but we prevailed.

However, this evening as hard working Nigerians returned home to enjoy a deserved rest after 5 days successive dissipation of energy, we were confronted with News that Britain has decided to rubbish our Ebola Victory and classify us among Ebola stricken nations.

For the avoidance of doubt

The world Health organization (WHO) and the Center for Disease Control (CDC) have independently confirmed after 21 days that Nigeria is presently Ebola Free

By epidemiologically standards Nigeria should officially receive her certificate after 42 days(Incubation period ) which is October 20th

But the British Health service now thinks otherwise they posted this. ( See pic below) classifying us with Sierra Leone , Guinea and Liberia )

Omitting Senegal, US, Spain Congo, and other who now have cases of the diseases.

Pls join Reno Omokri and other well meaning Nigerians in the campaign to get the British NHS to remove Nigeria from that List by either retweeting this response from Nigeria

United States Of America Explains why It Won't Sell Arms To Nigeria by Solozzo(m): 9:51pm
Do you think the United States of America is fair in refusing to sell arms to Nigeria when it's at war with terrorists? Read the American ambassador in Nigeria explain the United States of America reason for denying Nigeria weapons in times of war, and judge for yourself.


DESPITE the urgent need for external support for Nigeria to defeat Boko Haram, the United States (U.S.) has declared that it will not sell arms to the Federal Government.


The position of the U.S. was disclosed by the country's Ambassador to Nigeria, James F. Entwistle.


Entwistle, who spoke in Yola Thursday in an interactive session with journalists after addressing American University of Nigeria (AUN) students and staff on his mission to Adamawa State, explained that the decision of the U.S. government not to sell arms to the country was due to what he described as massive human rights abuses by the Nigeria military.


"The U.S. government is against human rights abuse by any country in the world. So it will be ungodly for the U.S. to sell arms to Nigeria, a country that its military is notoriously known for human rights abuse. We cannot sell our arms to a country that will use our technology which is meant for defence of the helpless people to harass the helpless citizens", he said.


On the Boko Haram's killings in the north-eastern part of the country, he said that the crisis was getting stronger due to the political undertone and internal sabotage by the people of Nigeria.


"In the past six months it is very clear the manner Boko Haram is getting stronger that there is internal sabotage. The deadly gang has efficient military operations, the way they operate is clear that they receive military training based on the tactics they employ to operate", he maintained.


He said that U.S. government had been training Nigeria military in different fields including information management and war tactics to improve the productivity of both the personnel and officers.


The U.S. ambassador maintained that Nigeria and his country had a good relationship and that President Barrack Obama was building a stronger friendship between the two countries for economy prosperity of Nigeria.


"President Jonathan is the only African President that has meetings twice with Obama and another meeting with Obama's deputy. This is to show that the U.S. government has special interest to support Nigeria to grow fast. The fact that Obama is yet to visit Nigeria cannot be used as a sign that the relationship between the two countries is sour", he stated.


Entwistle, who said that he was in Yola to monitor the aborted governorship by-election in tomorrow, pointed out that the major problem militating against the development of Nigeria


was corruption, which he said had detained the growth of both democracy and the economy of the country.


"Corruption is a huge problem in Nigeria, everybody knows about this. Corruption can be tackled in Nigeria only when there are strong institutions like the security agents, judiciary and others. Individuals should be bold to challenge public office holders on how they get money to buy big cars, build houses in Abuja, Lagos and other parts of the world. The members of the media should be courageous to put Nigerian leaders on the public scale for members of the public to judge their activities in office", he said.


On the 2015 general elections, the U.S. ambassador insisted that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) must fashion out modalities that could allow the Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) to vote.


"It will be constitutionally wrong for INEC to deny these people from voting, if they are excluded from the election it means the election result cannot be credible because some Nigerians are denied their rights to vote. The power of any individual is his rights to vote for the leader of his choice, if you deny him that right, you have taken away his power to question or caution the person in office. So it is very important for INEC to include the IDPs in the 2015 general elections", he maintained.


Entwistle, who rated the American University of Nigeria, Yola as among the best institutions in the world, noted that the school would contribute to the fast development of the country and other African countries.
