NIGERIA Told To KEEP Quite at Last Minute at the Security Council this evening by NigeriaNearby: 1:01am On Dec 31, 2014
While France, Russia, China and many others voted in favour of a Palestinian State and end to Israeli's occupation at the security council this evening, Nigeria was nudged by USA to change its position at the last minute.

Only USA and that doomed Australia voted NO.

The resolution needed 9 YES votes, it received 8, and it was Nigeria turn to vote YES as everyone and the world was watching, Nigeria just stood silence, indicating that they will not say YES, or NO.

That was it, the RESOLUTION that was calling for Israeli's end of occupation and a Palestinian State was eaten by Nigeria(who indicated that they support the Palestinian cause before and would vote in favour!!).

What would France gain from Palestinian State or to get their freedom, nothing, and they VOTED big YES.

China, Russia and many others in South America voted YES

Nigeria, keep your word and get some guts next time.


Nigerians are known to be brave and strong people, but the people and that stooge we have at the Security Council is a total waste and empty.

Nigeria JUST killed the Palestinian DREAM, and it is very series, they will suffer many and many more years to come because of Nigeria.

Lets wait Israeli's drones donation to attack Boko Haram, they will reward us big time indeed, and it would be a new year's gift for Nigeria, unless the drones are sold in the black market by our loyal president.

The rumours are already flying(on Twitter), that Nigeria was promised that they can export oil to USA for the whole 2015 if they vote NO, since that is a big promise, the US negotiated that they can get some drones via Israel if they just keep quite, so the drone thing is REAL.

For your information, USA produces its own crude oil and dumped Nigeria oil import few months back.

So their voice don't count?

Animals voting in disunited nation. Whatever. If Palestine wants to free, it should start manufacturing better weapons. Waiting for animals in human skin to dash it freedom is a vain enterprise.

The source, hit the UN SECURITY COUNCIL website.

If you want an Israeli source, here you go:

http://www.timesofisrael.com/palestinian-statehood-resolution-defeated-at-un-security-council/

From that source, it read:

"with last minute Nigerian change of heart"

That kills the whole purpose, change of heart at last minute, what are you, I mean, you made a promise, you told the world, then you met the US in last minute throug nudge and a wink by that US lady at the Security Council, and you keep quite, that is a big shame.


Nigeria would have made BIG headlines if they have voted YES in favour, for their brave and strong position in matters that count.

Its a waste of time. Even if the resolution gets passed.....it will still be vetoed by the US! With or without Nigeria votes....the resolution is dead on arrival.
Even without US veto....isrealis will not honor d resolution. The UN can not enforce such resolution as well.

International diplomacy is about securing the interest of a nation amongst their peers. Nigeria made a right decision. Let me ask a simple question;

Between Isreal and Palestine, who will you prefer Nigeria to have as a friend?

We have our problems as a nation, and we will have to protect our interest as much as possible. We need our oil to be sold and arms to tackle internal agression. America can buy our oil and Isreal can supply us needed weapons. The Palestinians cannot give us anything. This was used as a bargaining chip.

Politics is cruel. If you don't want to play dirty, stay away from it.

Then there is no need for Nigeria to support the Palestinian cause, Jonathan was recently saying that he in support of every oppressed nation and he mentioned the Palestinian cause as one of his main examples that he supports them fully and will stand with them.

You can't tell the Nigerian people something like that and at last minute winked by US lady to keep quite, there is no drones anyway, US won't keep their promise.

Jonathan was saying that because he wanted the votes of the Nigerian people, that he cares about the world and will care for everyone in Nigeria.


I mean, this Jonathan guy would have been better off if an egg was substituted in place of him when he was born!

This defense of yours is pathetic. Buhari like any other Nigerian would have clearly decide to vote Yes or No without being tel-guided. And if you are insulating he will vote Yes for Islamic factor - then it is clear to all here that you are the Religious Fanatic here.

Everyone knows that Jonathan is the one who have been attending Islamic conference as if his life depends on on it.

Palestinian resolution fails at UN Security Council

The UN Security Council failed to adopt a resolution on Palestinian statehood that was strongly opposed by the United States.

China, France and Russia were among the eight countries that voted in favor of the text, but the resolution fell short of winning the nine "yes" votes necessary for adoption in the 15-member council.

Australia and the United States voted against, and five other countries abstained, including Britain.

The resolution drafted by the Palestinians and backed by Arab countries would have paved the way to a Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital.

It set a 12-month deadline for Israel to reach a final peace deal with the Palestinians and called for a full Israeli withdrawal from the Palestinian territories by the end of 2017.

Security Council member Jordan had requested the vote despite opposition from the United States, which argued that the resolution did not address Israel's security concerns and set arbitrary deadlines.

"This resolution sets the stage for more division, not for compromise," US Ambassador Samantha Power told the council. "This text addresses the concerns of just one side."

Power defended the US position in favor of direct talks, saying "peace will come from hard choices and compromises that must be made at the negotiating table."

US Secretary of State John Kerry had lobbied in the days leading up to the vote, calling 13 foreign ministers to explain the American opposition.

Washington was not, however, compelled to resort to its veto power to block the measure -- a move that could have undermined US standing in the Arab world.

A US veto risked angering key Arab allies, including partners in the US-led coalition carrying out air strikes against the Islamic State group in Syria and Iraq.

Argentina, Chad, Chile, Jordan and Luxembourg joined China, France and Russia in supporting the resolution.

Lithuania, Nigeria, Rwanda and South Korea abstained, along with Britain.

Diplomatic sources said Nigeria had been expected to support the resolution and changed its stance at the last minute.

- France votes 'yes' -

France's envoy said he backed the resolution because of an "urgent need to act" and vowed to continue pressing for a UN role in reviving Israeli-Palestinian peace talks.

"Our efforts must not stop here. It is our responsibility to try again, before it's too late," said Francois Delattre.

International alarm is growing over the ongoing violence and the failure to restart negotiations that last broke down in April, when Kerry led a push for peace.

European Union foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini said the vote underlined the "urgency" for Israel and the Palestinians to urgently resume peace negotiations.

"The European Union will promote and support now more than ever efforts to achieve a lasting peace based on this two-state vision together with international partners, including in the region," she said.

On Tuesday, a Palestinian teenager was seriously wounded by Israeli gunfire in the West Bank, according to family members. The army said he had thrown a suspected explosive device at troops.

The vote capped a three-month campaign by the Palestinians at the United Nations to win support for a resolution that sets a timeframe for ending the Israeli occupation.

Palestinian envoy Riyad Mansour accused the council of failing to shoulder its responsibilities and vowed to seek other venues to gain recognition.

"The Palestinian people and the world can no longer wait. That message, despite the regrettable outcome today, is especially clear," he told the council.

Mansour said the Palestinian leadership will meet Wednesday to decide on the next steps.

The Palestinians have said they are prepared to join the International Criminal Court to launch legal action against Israel and use other international fora to press their case if the resolution fails.

Israel -- represented by the mission's number three Israel Nitzan -- delivered a terse, four-sentence address to the council.

"I have news for the Palestinians -- you cannot agitate and provoke your way to a state," he said.

"I urge the council to stop indulging the Palestinians and put an end to their march of folly."
