![-]( "itoroesie") itoroesie at 18-10-2011 11:52 AM (13 years ago)  (m) The United States has again warned American citizens of the risks of travel to Nigeria, with particular to Akwa Ibom, Bayelsa, Delta, and Rivers, Abia, Edo and Imo States.
Other areas involved in the advisory, dated October 13, 2011, are Jos, Plateau State, Bauchi and Borno States; and the Gulf of Guinea.
The US attributes the advisory to "the risks of kidnapping, robbery, and other armed attacks" in the areas concerned.
"Violent crime committed by individuals and gangs, as well as by persons wearing police and military uniforms, remains a problem throughout the country," the notice says.
The advisory recalls the suicide bombing at the UN Headquarters in Abuja on August 26 in which 23 people were killed, the one at the Nigerian Police Force Headquarters 10 weeks earlier, as well as bombings in Maiduguri, Suleja, and Jos in 2010.
The notice dwells on the risk of attaks to Western targets, the Boko Haram miltancy, and the menace of kidnapping.
The new US travel warning replaces the last one, dated October 19, 2010. It is a reflection of the general insecurity in most of Nigeria, where nationals have little or no protection from local crime.
The warning comes as the government of President Goodluck Jonathan has resorted to criticising its critics for refusing to recognize its "achievements." At one point recently, Jonathan boasted that Nigerians ought to respect his governance because President Barack Obama of the US has "praised" him. It is sobering that the same US is now warning its citizens to steer clear of Nigeria on account of the inability of President Jonathan to maintain safety and security in the country.
On October 1,President Jonathan moved the National Day celebrations away from Eagle Square to Aso Rock, following a warning of possible bombing by Niger Delta militants. It was the first in peace time in the country. Also last week, he moved a scheduledgovernment activity all the way from Akwa Ibom Stateto Abuja, and into the presidential palace.

YOU JUST HAVE TO THINK OF YOUR USED CARS THAT YOUR STARS AND POLITICIANS ARE CRUISING AROUND WITH- IF WE CUT THAT OFF FROM COMING TO YOU AND STOP BUYING YOUR OIL- WHERE WILL YOU BE.
I GUESS ALMOST ALL OF YOU THAT THINK OR BELIEVE YOU DON'T NEED US, ARE NOT AWARE THAT YOUR ECONOMY THAT DEPENDS ON ONLY OIL- RELYS ON YOUR BIGGEST BUYER UNITED STATES OF AMERICA TO SURVIVE.
THINK OF WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO YOU IF THE SALES COME TO A HALT-- AND WE STOP BUYING FROM YOU. JUST ASK HUGO CHAVEZ- DESPITE INSULTING US, HE STILL DEPENDS ON US TO GROW HIS ECONOMY.
YOU'RE ALL FLAUNTING YOUR APPLE'S MAC, iMAC AND iPHONES-COMPUTERS AND LAPTOPS. WHERE DID THEY COME FROM. WHAT ABOUT YOUR DELL, MICROSOFT AND CO?
BY THE WAY, TELL ME WHAT ELSE WE (USA) GET FROM YOU, BESIDES YOUR OIL AND YOUR SMART GUYS THAT RUN AWAY FROM BEING KILLED, ONLY TO ADD TO OUR IMMIGRATION PROBLEM.

Just because u were able to access internet doesn't mean you cannot reason with others. Where is your future, if the trend contiues, if we don't stop the crime, the world would abandon us and u know, no man makes an island.
No country is economically independent. We need the world, and truth be told, we need the USA. Come to think of it, if all Nigerians in US come home, the country will be in crisis. The purpose of us and other people contributing to this type of discussion is to influence the govt, so something positive could be done for the people - especially fools like apkosy19 who would like to see the country deserted by the world. Please peole, reason with head and not from your anus. U say we don't need them, just go to the embassy in the morning and see how much we trully need them.
what? Do u tink am like ur family who are academically and emotionally insane...come to tink of it u are a fool of d first order, theif,killer and a prodigal bastard. May u die by thurder. What do u need dem 4,can dey come and settle the commotion in naija. U are a Ordained Bastard! Pathetic Idiot! | Posted: at 18-10-2011 06:44 PM (13 years ago) | Upcoming | |
