US To Jonathan: You Lied, We Are Yet To Receive Your Request To Fight Boko Haram by bashydemy(m): 5:53am On Feb 15, 2015 |
The Pentagon, the United States of America’s military coordinating body, has faulted the claim by President Goodluck Jonathan that Nigeria has applied since early 2014 for assistance to send troops to combat the Boko Haram insurgents. Rather, Pentagon said over the weekend that discussions on troops to combat the Islamist body was just beginning based on the formation of the Multi National Joint Task Force. Jonathan had in an interview with the Wall Street Journal said the United States had ignored requests by Nigeria for troops to combat the Boko Haram militants. He said the country had in early 2014 reached out to the US for assistance, adding: “Are they (America) not fighting ISIS? “Why can’t they come to Nigeria? “…they are our friends. “If Nigeria has a problem, then I expect the US to come and assist us.” But the Pentagon Press Secretary, Rear Admiral John Kirby, also told the Wall Street Journal that the US was yet to receive an official request for troops from Nigeria. Kirby said what the US was doing now has been to enter into discussion on how it could participate in the Multi National Joint Task Force with other African nations to assist Nigeria. Kirby said the task force will be designed to help build up Nigeria’s own counter terrorism capabilities. He said: “These discussions are really just now starting. “I can tell you that there are no plans as I speak here… unilaterally to send or to add US troops into Nigeria.” 1 Like |

To the guy above me, remain in wonderland. So President Jonathan didn't make an official request and was expecting the US's assistance. Na wa for this man. The only reason why the war against the insurgents is not being seriously fought is because our GEJ has been acting as if he's president of the southern part of Nigeria only. God forbids if bombs were to start going off in the south would he still be acting in this lukewarm manner ![]() GEJ is always looking for who to put the blame on for his failures this time it's the US who didn't respond to an unofficial call. Who da hell are the advisers to this man ![]() 24 Likes 1 Share |

US troops should not be allowed into Nigerian soil. had it been we had a competent leader, a leader who would not be so clueless to drag the military into politics, the issue of bokoharam would probably had become past, and we wouldn't have to hear any shit from the god of hypocrisy of this world; the US. 5 Likes |

benarex: So Obama should just wake up one morning and send US troops to Nigeria without any official request right? Do you know the meaning of Nigeria being an independent sovereign country at all? Is Nigeria now on the same level with Afghanistan and Iraq? America waged a full blown war in those countries, we don't pray for same in Nigeria. 1 Like |
