Interesting points. However I disagree with you on these issues. The west mainly UK, France and USA have been pressuring some African countries to adopt gay laws including same sex marriage. They provide aides to these countries so that they will adopt their ways. Now this is not exaggeration or assumptions. You can find more from Tanzania relations with UK. If the problem is because of human rights abuses as Obama mentioned, you and I know that USA can easily bypass this and play ball with Nigerian govt. They have done it before and are willing to do it again as long as it is in USA's interests. Remember the present day ISIS. Who were members of ISIS before the formation of this evil unit? They used to fight against Assad of Syria. Which countries supported them to the extent of supplying weapons - UK, USA, FRANCE and others? Didn't you see John McCain visiting ISIS leaders and openly campaigning and making speeches on their behalf in USA? If not because of Russia's interventions Syria would probably be a war zone now or a heaven for ISIS. The irony is USA and other main powers are spending millions of dollars now fighting ISIS and Putin is laughing. These arrogant countries think they know it all until their mistakes explode in their faces and it often does. So my friend, the point is if Obama wants to play ball with Buhari the Nigeria human rights records will not stop him. I don't believe he has to think long and hard or convince anyone to do it. The fact is Buhari gave him an unequivocal answer and in turn he gave Buhari unequivocal response - if your law forbids sodomy our law forbids human right abuses. That human right abuse is Obama's cue. Buhari needs to learn to deal with leaders especially those more experienced and clever than him. There is something called diplomacy. He needs to learn.
Why blaming him – Obama? He is using what he has to get what he wants for his country. Whether you like gays or not is not the point the point is USA is a super power and Nigeria is really nothing. Many countries on earth will catch gold when USA sneeze. Mind you my friend, I don’t agree with you that homosegxwality is natural to some people. That is just the argument the westerners are using to sell their social and political illness.
Have you guys asked yourselves the questions or are you letting unnecessary sentiments and emotions get the better of you. What will happen to these sophisticated weapons after the Nigerian army might have routed Boko Haram? Who supplies Boko Haram weapons? Who are Boko Haram members? We all know that Boko Haram initially used left over weapons from deposed former Libyan leader Gaddafi. We equally know that ISIS are in alliance with Boko Haram or the other way round. Who said that THEY will make Nigeria ungovernable for Goodluck Jonathan? There are elements in the northern caliphates that supply those weapons and funds. The people that support, sponsor and protect Boko Haram till today are embedded in the Nigerian army/military. President Buhari is one of them. He is not with the main stream Boko Haram rather with one of the extreme associates. The brushes he had with Boko Haram before he became president happened when Boko Haram was trying to clear out other groups. Arming Buhari with sophisticated weapons is like proving leaders of ISIS with military drones. I am happy that USA refused to supply weapons to Nigerian government army. If they Nigerian military is really ready to fight Boko Haram they posse enough weapons to do it. The fact is Nigerian military lack cohesion, organisation and competence. Without foreign leadership the Nigerian military has nothing to offer. If not that the Biafran movements have adopted nonviolence approaches to secede I will advise them to team up with the Niger militants and take on Nigerian army. This is the right time to bury Nigeria. It is very obvious that their so called allies have abandoned them. Egyptian brotherhood movement that fought with Nigeria during the Biafra war for religious reasons has be exterminated and Russia is too weak economically to upset anyone. Besides, Nigeria is not in Russia’s interests. Russia are at the moment holding their own economically and Boko Haram are only interested in their own state in West African domain. They will not fight Niger militants or Biafran. Just give them their own state and the war is over.
