Shock!!U.S Sues Nigeria Up To $16m For Unpaid Taxes

The city of New York claims the government of Nigeria owes her $4.1 to $16 million in real estate taxes and interest on the Manhattan building that houses Consulate General of Nigeria. The building is located at 828 2nd Ave. (Corner of 44th St. & 2nd Ave.), New York, NY 10017, U.S.A.

New York City on Monday filed a lawsuit against Nigeria in US federal court demanding payment for back taxes and interest. Generally, globally, diplomatic offices are tax exempt, and this is the case in the U.S. New York City argues parts of Nigeria’s building had been used for commercial purposes, including housing of Nigeria Airways offices.

I have a feeling that America never like Nigeria. This was shown when Obama was visiting Africa. So the have gotten a chance to victimise us.

I wonder where the Nigeria govt is, US is bringing the fight to them and they are cowing like shit.

That's the problem when there's no leader who is strong enough to challenge 'the mighty' like Obasanjo. There has been a silent grudge between Nigeria and US governments during Obasanjo term, US wanted to have a military base in Nigeria and Obasanjo refused. During their 'alleged fight against terrorist', they asked Nigeria Army to join the campaign, Obasanjo declined.

I guess Mutallab gave them a very cheap window to really victimize my dear nation. God bless Nigeria, and to hell with America.
