This is not meant to be an insult but a fact that Nigeria is being controlled by a sect of ignorant and bottomline dum.b a$$ humans at the moment. you can liken them to an 11 year old spoilt child who wants to drive a car he has no technical know-how of. What do you expect the elders to do? elders will keep the car keys away from him so that he will not kill himself. This is what USA is currently doing. GEJ should be greatful to the USA for these reasons. Once Boko Haram, who is well known for using military equipment, lays hands on such aircraft, they will happily send for help from their brothers i.e ISIS or al-qaeda who have experts who can operate the bird. Next, they head to aso rock by air and trust me, Clueless GEJ will be reduced to rubbles. and those Tanoids here will be shouting, America help boko haram to divide Nigeria. As for GEJ, declaring even when deep down, you know you are the most incompetent man for the job is just the height insensitivity any human can display. Dont you see the pictures of bomb blast victims? we know it is the opposition, but what have you done to bring them to justice? that is what we mean by the word incompetence. 9 Likes 1 Share |

gboss4sure: First question to your question is who are the Syrian rebels ? Your answer. The Syrian opposition (Arabic: المعارضة السورية Al-Mu'aradah Al-Suriyah) is an umbrella term for groups and individuals calling for regime change in Syria and who oppose its Ba'athist government. The term "opposition" (Arabic "mu'araDah" is typically used to refer to traditional political actors; that is, groups and individuals who have a history of dissent against the Syrian state, rather than to describe all participants in the uprising against Assad rule in Syria. The first structures to form in the Syrian uprising were local protest-organizing committees. I assume say International relations Na something wey you sabi. Different countries get different objectives way go profit them by themselves. I bet that the Syrian government and its policies are so disgusting that rebels had to be formed . If locals resent the present government and that govt does not favor US's national objectives they can provide support. After all the choice for government wey make sense and freedom Na fundamental human right 1 Like |

Nigeria engineers are sophisticated. Nigeria engineers are this...Nigeria engineers are that. Well...then build your own fvcking weapons! Goddamn Nigerians take pride in knowing zilch. Check the arrogance in folks whose eng Iineers cannot build a freaking slingshot. Nobody owes you shlt US should not sell weapons to Nigeria. If Nigerians cannot develop and build their own weapons, let them perish. Those US folks get 2 heads? And when oyibo tells u that u are a bunch of monkeys, you will feel slighted.

Onmason: The fact there is no united front in fighting this terror is not a government fail mark but a Nigerian one. That is why I always preach about restructuring. It is the foundation on which nations are built. Right now the nation comes last in the considerations of the average Nigeria, self, tribe and religion well ahead.

DaBullIT: In all words, It is right for the USA to provide arms to the rebels who commit different atrocities and also calls for the full islamization of Syria other than the Syrian president who under his leadership other religions such as Christianity thrives? These same rebels are killing Christians in their country who are protected by Assad. Brother stop watching too much of CNN. Was it not the same accusations they layed on Gaddaffi, Today we have seen what Libya has turned into. All thanks to the USA and its friends who wrecked libya 4 Likes |

rawpadgin:The Nigerian science students have been reduced to nothingness because of non exposure to modern science apparatus in our so-call institutions. Take a good look at some of the lab in our tertiary institution and you will weep. Why is it that when this same science students travel abroad they break records? Its because the environment and facilities are life transforming. I keep saying that Nigerians are the most creative and innovative people have ever seen, but because of the decadence in our country this creativity has only been witness on the negative. Give them the right tools and environment and watch them cause the world to a standstill. 4 Likes |

If you're a Nigerian, and for once u do not see uncle Sam's conspiracy, then you can never be a good assessor. The two points are so not enough. Let's. Leave Nigerian issues aside and focus on this main subject - sale or no sale. What does uncle Sam know about human rights? What about what they did in the middle east? Why is HR used against us and not them? Another white man tactics to confuse and delude us. For how long will the whites keep succeeding in making us feel non human? Are they not responsible for the state African countries have been plunged into? Are the blacks not responsible for their own early development? What manufacturer won't sell because the buyer cannot maintain? This just doesnt add up. |

DaBullIT:Some soldiers sent to Iraq themselves all opened up on ABC news that the real reason they were sent to Iraq was none other than oil. And if truly you get your news from different sources you surely should've come across reports and photos of inmates of Guantanamo Bay who are sexually harassed and tortured. Recently a guy was released from there after it was proven that the allegations of terrorism against him were false. So dude, the US is not the angel you think it is, it's just a devil in disguise. |

In fact the town of Chibok has been taken over by BokomHaram. Our ineffective military offensive against Boko Haram is our our own doing and has nothing to do with any other country.

oluseyiforjesus:. My Bro. you 're right, American is the grand sponsor of BH. What evidence do we need to see again. So BH has human rights to kill, bomb and massacre people, under which Constitution and Law is that one stated. When Nigeria asked for their assistance against Ebola Virus they hasitated thinking they God and later Ebola located them, now they are playing tricks with us my word for them is that something worse than BH will come to them and let's see how they will apply their so-called human right.

Leobreezy: Bros. I never said US is a saint. My argument is that Guantanamo bay is notorious but only notorious for torturing suspected and full blown terrorists . but in Nigeria every police station in Nigeria tortures suspects and criminals . Some soldiers , a group , one unit , one infantry check their names you'll find out that they are islamists . I get your point. But whatabout real terrorists who have been cooperating with investigations ? Those are the ones who told US where to find bin laden .... No terrorist is innocent suspected or not 3 Likes |
