South Korea; what a poor bad country that Nigeria would want to envy!

Responding to "American boots on Nigerian ground?" by Uche Ezechukwu, Sun newspaper, 5/12/14

 

South Korea, what a bad country to envy.    

I disagree with your analysis and summation in this article, Ezechukwu. The reason this administration accepted this foreign military assisttace is because of people like, me, you, that have taste for bad News events; organizations like the APC party that for political gain wishes and prays for the failure of the current administration even if it means Nigeria going down the drain with the administration’s failure;  the Hausa/Fulani political elites’ whose rabid  quest power have  time and time again   demonstrated complacence, and tacit support for the insurgency; the amnesty international and a whole host of the persons, groups, NGOs, whose continued relevancies and jobs stability  is consist in see-no-good in any government, organization  that are no part of the Amnesty International. But don’t get me wrong I have nothing against Amnesty International, these organization in many respect does a good job on human right but the truth remains that like the news media, the work and the essence of this organization is majorly to report negative news and events otherwise it would be out of business.   

 Nigeria ethnic/tribal suspicion, instability, and configuration, must also be taken into account;   Mr. Ezechukwu, how so soon have you forgotten that ACF, the political mouthpiece of Hausa/Fulani political elites, few months ago threatened to take the former COAS, General Ihejirike to ICC for progom and ethnic cleasing of Moslems even when Ihejirika  served, professionally, efficiently and effectively and to greater degree curtailed the excesses Boko Haram . Have you forgotten that last two weeks Nyako sent a report to the Northerner Governors’ Forum alleging that Jonathan’s presidency is behind the Boko Haram Insurgency as a ploy to repeat the a 1966 massacre of Northerner political elites by Easterners.

Mr. Ezechukwu, it is very disingenuous in your part for you to forget and ignore the political reality and the ethnic division, suspicion and mistrust in Nigeria, the presently globalized world, just to score some cheap editorial acclamation. If Jonathan refuses this help and God forbids these girls were never recovered you and your likes would be the first to criticize him for turning down the help for the girls’ rescue. Besides, Nigeria is neither more advanced military or technological than former soviet republics, Lithuania, Ukraine etc, begging for military help against Russian Czar, Vladimir Putin; nor is Nigeria more developed than many Latin America countries where America formerly or currently provides military Umbrella. Mr. Ezechukwu, we must neither let off the guide nor take our eyes off the ball which is the safe recovering of these girls by any means necessary, and we must not let pride get in the way because as they say, pride comes before fall.

 In your article you alluded and touted Nigeria military alliance to None Alliance and I am neither a proponent nor an opponent of military alliance so long as such military policy benefits Nigeria. However, given the current military capabilities, Nigeria None Alliance which you tried to eulogize was and is a bad policy because Nigeria is not better than any of the countries, allied to either NATO or to the Warsaw Pack. Pride and over-bloated ego and Islamism are the most likely reasons why Nigeria took the position of None Alliance. Instead of allying with the world class military powers of either of the Western or of the Eastern block the Nigeria Government led by Moslem military Juntas/politicians saw no religious reason to join either of the alliances since both were led by infidel Nations. Perhaps had Nigeria joined either alliance our military today would have done better in routing out ragtag Boko Haram Insurgency. I personally welcome American military help because at worst case scenario Nigeria would be like South Korea; what a poor bad country that Nigeria would want to envy!
