I fundamentally disagree with this statement, you may not be able to build as quickly but you can definitely build.
But even going along with this model paying off your compounding, adjustable high interest rate credit card(IMF) and getting a fixed rate low interest credit card(China) is not a bad strategy.

Nigeria cannot afford to build slow because the oil is going to depreciate and run out!!!!

And I have not heard of any big loans (besides railway projects) between Nigeria and China. Jonathan has had many government projects that he has not seen to completion.

I think the short answer to all your observations is that the Military is not unified and has different factions with different loyalties. It wouldn't be unprecedented given Nigerias history of Military coups.

A good leader builds a coalition across all lines.

If that's the case, the Commander-in-Chief (Jonathan) should discipline the higher brass. If you fail, you're fired. If you succeed, you're promoted. Jonathan is playing politics with the territorial integrity of Nigeria.
I wish it were that simple. He has been replacing generals but a system and allegiances that have been in place for over half a century wont be replaced or broken overnight. Demotions or dismissal of certain Generals are easily politicized along ethnic and religious lines.

Anyone realise how cacs all around the world would hold 24 hour vigils, donations to the family, viral tags and other commemoration for the 12 terrorist attacks victims in Paris yet I haven't seen one single vigil here for these 2000 thousand women or children who were killed in Nigeria. No donations to their families. Not one commemoration. No presidential speech from Obama. No meetings amongst global leaders to help them curb this problem. I've heard more about the dead Jews and french journalists than the thousabds of nigerians who were just murdered a day ago on the news. Only a 2 minute update for these 2000 lives. Cacs really don't think much of black lives.

why we have to wait on white people to show sympathy for black lives? you boys care too damn much about whites. get this in your head: people are going to show more empathy for those similar to them, it's always been that way and so shall it remain for a long damn time.

"B-B-but Islam is the greatest threat to white supremacy" :beli:
im not even gonna speak on this one. the shyt is speaking for itself at this point :scusthov: anyone on here who wants to keep rationalizing this bullshyt, knock yourself out

just remember:

"The Islamist group has said its aim is to impose a stricter form of Sharia law across Nigeria, which is split between a majority Muslim north and a mostly Christian south."

1.) Nigeria cannot afford to build slow because the oil is going to depreciate and run out!!!!

2.) And I have not heard of any big loans (besides railway projects) between Nigeria and China. Jonathan has had many government projects that he has not seen to completion.

1.)Being overly dependent on oil has been a detriment, building up the agriculture and manufacturing sectors are moves in the right direction which he has taken.
2.)I prefer that kind of direct investment loan, it's more transparent and less cumbersome. You say you took out a loan to build a train show us a train. Better than taking out a mega loan from the IMF for general development where it becomes easier to siphon off and divert the funds. Give me some examples of unfulfilled projects I am always open to learning.

-Agreed and he is doing that but can't you just snap your fingers and make it happen, it takes time. Time will tell if he succeeds or not. I hope he does.

Would you prefer a former General who has seen combat, Buhari, gain the Presidency this year?

Hell no! Don't trust any of these ex-generals who have been sharing power since the inception of Nigeria. Don't want to turn into the next Egypt or Pakistan.

I will not blame the over reliance on oil all on Jonathan since the state governors have more control over diversification of their sectors but he could hold them more accountable and begin to fix the corruption.

As for unfulfilled projects, I am sure you are aware of the man who goes by Onye Nkuzi on Twitter? He lists tons of examples of the state and federal governments negligence and incompetence.

Fam, you sound like you are on his payroll. Dude didn't even bless the dead, didn't even acknowledge that it happened. He is shook and he is not the man to fix this.

I'm glad someone said it, I was reading through this thread and was thinking the same thing.

Y'all really seem to hate white ppl so much, yet can't keep talking about them

11 french cacs killed versus 2000 black nigerians killed...:ohhh::dwillhuh:


Not a big story according to media...I dont see a lot of coverage compared to what happened in france :smh:

Man, if 2000 cacs would have been killed in fukking france, in the same exact situation, there would be martial law there, and they would have put all the muslims in concentration camps....:aicmon:

Meanwhile in nigeria, its life goes on, as if nothing happened :smh: :beli:


to the media black lives dont even have value smh :snoop: :smh:
It's because most people including black people consider it old news/expect it.
Back during the Rwandan Genocide and all those civil wars it was getting constant coverage but for most people in first world nations the name Africa has become synonymous with aids, violence, and poverty by now plus it doesn't help when it's hard to relate to those people and it doesn't directly effect you.
And why are you surprised France is getting more coverage than a place in s state of perpetual distress? It's a first world nation so of course people will be more interested I know I would be more interested with 2000 killed in France rather than Africa.though this situation interests me much more than those shootings.
Stop acting clueless.

Ali burnt some people and this news reached Ibn 'Abbas, who said, "Had I been in his place I would not have burnt them, as the Prophet said, 'Don't punish (anybody) with Allah's Punishment.' No doubt, I would have killed them, for the Prophet said, 'If somebody (a Muslim) discards his religion, kill him.'

Sahih al-Bukhari, 4:52:260
