NIGERIA'S THREAT TO CUT TIES WITH AMERICA, VERY SUICIDAL!
Unfortunately those marauders in the Nigerian senate have once again shot themselves on the feet and will surely this time, drag every Nigerian with them into the abyss of suffering irrelevance. Icheoku says, their unguarded utterance that Nigeria will sever diplomatic ties with the United States of America over the December 25, 2009 terrorist attack is very provocative! Instead of taking full responsibility for what happened and pledging to do whatever it takes to fix what is broken, which saw a Northern Nigerian Fulani terrorist Umar Farouk Abdul Mutallab wearing a diaper-bomb unto an American airline, in a botched attempt to blow same up and kill hundreds of people, they are busy throwing gasoline into a burning fire? Does it mean that this people are so daft to understand the ramifications of the act of their countryman or are they foolishly trying to sweep what happened under the carpet, treating it as a none issue as with so many other thing in Nigeria? America which has observed recurring terrorist religious riots in Northern Nigeria, had their own security breached by a Northern Nigerian terrorist on Christmas day December 25 is taking every step necessary to prevent such happenstance in the future; and the offending country is busy huffing and puffing? If only President GW was still in power, may be some marines would have already been air-dropped into Abuja to kick some butts and tell Nigerians how not to produce and harbor a terrorist in their midst? What a bombshell from an unthinking mind and a cholera stricken mouth of Senator Ayogu Eze of Nigeria, supposedly speaking on behalf of the David Mark led Nigerian Senate? Nigerians, say it ain't so that in the present 21st century someone in Nigeria is literally interpreting the biblical tale of David and Goliath and expecting to come up tops in a duel with the only remaining super power in the world, the United States of America? Whoever thought out and spoke this possible diplomatic row is certainly under the influence of something very hallucinatory; which clouded his brain into an unthinking stupidity! America, which has its hand in virtually every pie in the world and with solid control of the levers of such financial institutions like the World Bank and IMF is being challenged by a country which cannot even feed its citizens? But like they say, Nigeria should beware of what they wish for as they might as well get it; and pray that the hawkish republicans do not force President Barack Obama to accept the thrown gauntlet? Why now for any thinking country, at a time when all nerves are frayed and America is still hurting with the experience of December 25, 2009 tragedy when a sharia Northern Nigerian Fulani terrorist nearly blew up their airplane with several hundreds of passengers and 11 crew, mainly Americans returning home for the holidays, and in their own Detroit? Instead of apologising and asking for forgiveness, these band of Nigerians are flexing their lizard-sinews, threatening diplomatic face-off with America for calling them out on an age-long known terrorism in Nigeria which was only exported to America by a sharia Northern Nigerian fanatic from Funtua, Katsina State? This is the height of senatorial-drunkenness, coming from a rudderless country, tethering on the precipice. It is rather very unfortunate to throw this type of challenge to Americans knowing fully well that they do not shy away from challenges or any face-offs; and at this particular time of heighten tension in the land with Americans asking their president to do something firm about this Christmas day attempted terrorism. Nigeria may eventually be the sacrificial lamb on this current alter of anti-terrorism effort in America, except something is done fast by whoever is in charge in Nigeria to numb the drawn-dagger of the Nigerian senate and douse the said provocative utterance immediately. Admitted that Nigeria's President Umaru Yar'Adua is MIA sequestrated in an undisclosed location somewhere in the Arabian peninsula, someone of some authority should disavow the offensive statement as not the government's position, period! If it means sending Ojo Maduekwe and crew to Washington for damage control, so be it but this provocation must be laid to rest without further delay. Nigeria should also be warned that in any ensuing fight between her and America, that Britain, France, Italy, Russia and China will not side with them; and would rather stay neutral, than antagonize America. Nigeria, it is your responsibility to pick up the mop and clean your mess otherwise, let us watch and see where your thoughtless threat will lead everyone; but be assured that Nigeria stands to loose most, should any diplomatic row ensue.
