CNN Interview: Boko Haram And Black West Africa Not A Priority by heo88(m): 1:19pm On Jan 18, 2015 |
CNN interview: Boko Haram and Black West Africa not a priority You want to know why world leaders gathered in France when 17 people were killed and none have particularly shown much interested in the madness happening in Northern Nigeria with Boko Haram? Well, it's because West Africa is not a priority to world leaders. Boko Haram is not a priority to the US. Wanted to share this video because this kinds of utterances need to be brought to the fore; this ultimately shows the way we as blacks or "Black West African" are viewed by advanced countries. Unbelievable. Please watch Source: http://lindaikeji..co.uk/2015/01/cnn-interview-boko-haram-and-black-west.html?m=1 Ps mod please help with uploading video, thanks. |

I'm not big into politics, but I will give my opinion on this post in shining some light on the topic due to being an American. World leaders were probably gathered in France because these are countries that work TOGETHER and not AGAINST each other. In America, we have our own issues and politicians don't mind dabbling in other countries issues from time to time. But why must America be the entire planet's savior ? I only assumed this since you didn't point out any other country. Let me ask this. If there was a major crisis occurring here, would the Nigerian government send troops to help us? I truly doubt that. The United States used to send BILLIONS of dollars to Nigeria EVERY year in order to "better" the country. But what happens to the money? The corrupt government takes it all. It's public record. Google it. The U.S. will not support a president that promotes Sharia law or one that does a poor job of protecting its citizens and military personnel. 1 Like |

morethanadoll: USA never gave Nigeria billions of dollars, what are you talking about. USA used to purchase Nigerian oil; they don’t anymore, end of story. No one is asking USA to come to Nigeria. USA has offered on many occasions to station troops in Nigeria, but the Nigerian government has refused. The problem is USA policy prohibits American soldiers from working with militaries that have been accused of human rights abuses, that’s why their involvement in the Boko Haram issue has been minimal. And for why USA should be concerned with what goes on in Nigeria. Well Nigeria has the number one economy in Africa, with the largest population and the biggest potential. 1 Like |

It took Jonathan 3 weeks to acknowledge the chibok girls are missing and it took him 6 years to start fighting bokoharam, so what exactly do you want the rest of the world to do? Jonathan did not take the lead and the world looked on! 4 Likes |

rdokoye: Now that is a bloody joke from the number 1 murdering machine on earth. I guess stripping prisoners naked in Guantanamo Bay and all the rapes in Iraq were sanctioned by the UN. Let them stay away, besides, they probably have enough CIA all over Nigeria. |
Re: CNN Interview: Boko Haram And Black West Africa Not A Priority by morethanadoll(f): 2:15am On Apr 15, 2015 |
ezeagu: The number one murdering machine on the planet? That must explain why all of my Nigerian collegues have come here. They must want to be murdered! Wait until I tell them this. I think not. We made an example. If someone is going to harm our people on our soil firstly, then they deserve to be invaded. Super power of the world sounds more familiar. Are your people guaranteed jobs after college?Are the poor people still able to have proper housing and food on their tables every night? Do you have electricity 24 hours a day? Electricity was first discovered in the place that you call the murdering machine. For all of the prisoners being stripped in Guantanamo Bay, continue to strip them on since they had no sympathy for the lives that they took from others. I don't have sympathy for murders, child molesters, and drug dealers. Better yet, lock them up and throw away the key. There are probably more rapes happening in a country that has no strong judicial system, such as yours, and I'm positive the rapists are just walking around. If someone murders or rapes you in America, the police will be to your house instantly. Obviously, the military isn't properly trained to handle terrorism in your country and that has already been confirmed. I have many Nigerian friends that I have met in college and they all plan to stay here because they feel safer and they have jobs, something they didn't have back home. Trust me, CIA have better things to do than walk around in country where they aren't even wanted. That level of thinking is what will keep your country in the developing stage for years to come because any country with politicians in their right minds know that they can't exist without the help of another strong country. I'm sure your politicians think this way, too, and if they continue, Nigeria will be the next North Korea, a country with so much potential, but choose to seclude themselves and get left behind by decades. I'm done here. |

morethanadoll: You people should figure out how to stop your police from wiping out black men in America, after that then you can look into why the prison is making some people richer than slave masters. Did the people in Guantanamo who were later found innocent deserve to be stripped and fondled? So because Iraq may have had some weapons which you people went on a whim, it was okay for hundreds of soldiers to rape innocent underaged girls and then burn their bodies after, and then come to yarn dust about not working with militaries that have committed human right violations? Your CIA has been one of the most detrimental things to African progress, they are the ones that installed many African heads of state, they are the ones that killed Patrice Lumumba, they are the one that instigated many coups, yet you want Africans to open their doors to your snakes in the grass? Eh, yes, stay out, because clearly African countries are doing fine without US intervention, the US created Liberia, what have you done for them, in fact what country in Africa has the United States saved since that is your peoples calling card? Please don't bother me with this US imperialism nonsense. Your army is the no. 1 murdering machine in the world, Ask Vietnam, ask Iraqi, ask Afghani, African countries overran by coups kwa. Go and read. Before you start quoting middle class Nigerians for me, go and ask yourself about those poor people in New Orleans, and the thousands of homeless people who will be sleeping on the streets of the United States tonight. 2 Likes |

morethanadoll: Because your parents managed to migrate to America via visa lottery, you are now claiming to be American. Go and sit down you have African blood running in you. No matter how much you deny it, you are not a native American. Stop associating yourself with other peoples success rather fight for your own. |

morethanadoll: I don’t need to Google anything; the Nigerian Government doesn’t receive aid money, never has in its entire history and never will. However, Nigeria has NGOs working within its borders and many of them receive grants from the respective nations that setup these NGOs, such as Great Britain and USA. morethanadoll: Obama’s foreign policy entailed weaning off dependence on foreign oil; so the move had nothing to do with corruption. USA had been buying oil from Nigeria for decades, even when Nigeria was a dictatorship and a pariah state. morethanadoll: The Nigerian Government refused, because they know the Nigerian people would go insane if foreign troops were allowed to operate on Nigerian soil. Nigeria already has a large and competent army that has fought in many wars all across Africa, and has soldiers stationed in many nations right now. Nigeria doesn’t need the incompetent USA army to come in and blow stuff up; because USA’s track record shows that their army is completely incapable of fighting and stopping insurgencies. That’s why many USA military advisors were thinking the Nigerian army wouldn’t be capable of beating Boko Haram. morethanadoll: Stop writing rubbish, isn’t USA the most corrupt country in the world? Didn’t USA go to war against Iraq under false pretences, resulting in the deaths of more than 1 million innocent Iraqi civilians? Isn’t USA a racist white supremacist state that oppresses large numbers of its own people? Don’t American police officers routinely harass and kill black American males. Aren’t there a disproportionate number of black men in American prisons? Isn’t there corruption in the American job industry, were they routinely discriminate against certain ethnic groups, despite such practices being unlawful. So please put a sock in it, USA is not some paradise, you guys are in no position to lecture anyone about anything, there are far more countries in this world that are doing better than that big for nothing landmass you call a country. Of course USA cares about Nigeria, because USA cares about itself. As Nigeria grows and becomes more powerful, it WILL undermine American influence and authority on the continent. |

ezeagu: Yes, it’s just a crutch, something they can pull out of their arse whenever they have ulterior motives. The reality is that USA really wants to occupy Nigerian soil, so they bring that law into place, as a sort of blackmail, either we allow them to occupy our nation or they won’t offer us any help or support in tackling Boko Haram. Their tactics have all failed anyway. |
Re: CNN Interview: Boko Haram And Black West Africa Not A Priority by rdokoye: 1:33pm On Apr 15, 2015 |
morethanadoll: Are you serious? You’re supporting the arrest and detention of individuals without trial or proof of wrongdoing? |
Re: CNN Interview: Boko Haram And Black West Africa Not A Priority by Vicadonis(m): 1:33pm On Apr 15, 2015 |
They never cared about what happens here. People are currently being killed in South Africa... Nobody cares too.. That's why we need to grow up and create our own world by our good deeds |

morethanadoll:But your so called country has the right to meddle into another countrys affair... no nation is an island , just the way Nigeria help in some trouble country in west Africa that is how other countries asist one another in comparting problems..why didnt America fight Isis Alone... we are not asking for for America to come and be our saviour, all we a were asking was for america to sell arms to us to fight this same insurgencies that they have been demonizing our president for his inability to fight through their bias media houses... yet they refuse to sell us .They even went as far as sabotaging our effort to purchase of arms from Israel and South Africa...because of what they called Human Right abuse...hahahaha..I laugh in swahili..America is a Hypocrite... you are here talking rubbish of what do dont know... Nigeria will never ask America to come and save them..all they ask was Sales arms...thanks God we have been able to bush the Boko Haram back as a result of a combined effort of a regional formed military force within Africa .It has really ton down the daily bombing without your countries Helping and telling the whole world of how you have save the poor souls and how their people are crying and dying of starvation..yet your media houses such as the CNN and BBC take such much delight in report false news which are sometimes exaggerated... to present us as a weak and helpless country to the world. but our God is behind us...so please shut up and come down from your high horse because America is no our friend. |

Franzeez: This is almost hilarious. A visa lottery? What is that exactly? My entire standing bloodline was born and raised here. My ancestors are definitely from Africa, since that isn't hard to tell. Of course, I would have African blood running through me since only two generations ago, my great grandparents were most likely slaves. I don't fight for other's success. I fight for my own everyday. I am 25 years old, current Master's degree student, and I make 5-figures a year. I've done it all on my own with no help from anyone. I have never lived a day of my life on the continent of Africa, so I can't consider myself a native person of the continent, either. Since I was born here and lived here all of my life, I am a Black American of African descent. |

morethanadoll: I am glad you accept you have an African blood, you must know though you are an American but that is not your home, it is your Adopted home. STOP meddling and rubbishing the African nations which is your real home. I personally am a Nigerian but am an Australian Citizen, I don't live in Africa and my mum is totally Australian and that does not make me insult or rubbish the African continent. I earn a very good 5 figures a year too without a masters degree |
