President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan Tuesday welcomed and accepted a definite offer of help from the United States of America in the ongoing effort to locate and rescue the girls abducted from the Government Girls Secondary School, Chibok three weeks ago.
The offer from President Barack Obama which was conveyed to President Jonathan by the United States Secretary of State, Mr. John Kerry in a telephone conversation which began at 15.30 Hours today, includes the deployment of U.S. security personnel and assets to work with their Nigerian counterparts in the search and rescue operation. Continue...Mr. Kerry assured President Jonathan that the United States’ is wholly committed to giving Nigeria all required support and assistance to save the abducted girls and bring the reign of terror unleashed on parts of the country by Boko Haram to an end.
Thanking Mr. Kerry for the call and offer of further assistance, President Jonathan told him that Nigeria’s security agencies who were already working at full capacity to find and rescue the abducted girls would appreciate the deployment of American counter-insurgency know-how and expertise in support of their efforts.
After speaking with the United States Secretary of State, President Jonathan today met with the Chief of Defence Staff, Service Chiefs and heads of national security agencies in continuation of the national efforts to find and rescue the abducted girls.
The President received updates on the ongoing search and rescue effort, and gave approval for recommended further actions.

ReplyDeleteSince our military hav shown dey are incapable of handling ds crisis, we nid foreign aid...tho notin goes 4 notin
Delete..about time
DeleteAnd in return 4dia good deed they'd get???
Delete~D great anonymous!
GEJ get choice? Kerry call am, he must shout "Yes Sir!". Mumu like him
DeleteHow? This is an admission by Nigeria that our govt cannot handle internal security issues. Even if it is true the resolution should be found within Africa. American security forces within any country in any sort of conflict has never been to that country's benefit. Abacha and Obj categorically refused NATO presence in Nigeria but now this weak man is selling us into slavery.
DeleteBe sure to note that when these security agencies come, they will have nothing but 1960 technology to work with n thus will not do any magic other than what Nigeria. Securities have done

ReplyDeleteNow they are talking. ..In as much as America cannot help you for nothing; they can suck all our oil for all we care, as long as BH and their sponsors are brought to book and severely dealt with,, there'll definitely be no fear or favor. It's good they stopped Sanusi from running away.

Angie, r u that daft? Sanusi blew the whistle on this thieving President and was labeled a BH sponsor. U think America doesn't know the truth? They will remove GEJ along with BH. Just watch.
DeleteAnony hun, thieving is the least of our problem right now; tell me which president tht didn't steal.. Sanusi is amongst the ppl that are causing problem for Jona, with this BH terror. America has arrived specifically to wipe BH; let's all sit back and watch it all unfold.. They'll all duck!!
DeleteAny and every offer of help from America comes with a price! Especially in a country where there is oil. America my dear Nigerians should never be trusted with their offer of help, Mr President your special advicers are of no help to you and your brain needs rebooting, I pray for you everyday but you need to open your heart to hear the voice of God speaking to you, ask Him for wisdom daily...my 2kobo
ReplyDeleteThe oil is not worth anything compared to the lives of those girls. #my own 2cents..... Just Me

ReplyDeleteA country that can't fix its own problems! Shit! If na to steal money now una go carry first! And don't expect the U.S to leave when this operation ends.
ReplyDeleteIs high time we change our history and say Nigeria was colonized the America rather than the United Kingdom? The UK seem never interested in what happens here. Look at the relationship South Korea has with America and the tremendous benefits they enjoy.
ReplyDeleteIf Nigerian Government and the President cannot guaranty the security of its citizens, then the Government and President needs to step aside. If Nigeria has to seek outside foreign assistance to handle its internal security issues then the country should no longer be independent. This is a slap and disgrace on the Nigerian Military which is acclaimed to be one of the best in Africa. The military really needs to take over control of the country.
ReplyDeleteGbam!
DeleteBenito or whatever u call urself the military are recuriting, go and apply and take over control. *sitdownDeyTalk

Deletewe really need their assistance coz the state of the nation is getting worse by the day
ReplyDeleteThis is long overdue and thanks to America and all other country who have been showing their supports through the media on this trying period of our blessed country Nigeria.
ReplyDeleteNow we re heading sumwia. God pls assist dem on dis journey IJN,Amen! Thank u US president & Kudos 2 our president.
ReplyDeleteGod bless Obama!
ReplyDeleteMr.President,with deepest respect,while the Americans are sending their security experts,we must ensure that our national security intelligence and other classified information is away from the American's reach.
ReplyDeleteIts my prayer that they come and make a fool of themselves when they see the kind of politics at play here.
I'm not against help from the US; thats quite thoughtful of them. BUT like we all know, dis so called 'help' is a 'scratch my back, I scratch ur back' kinda thing. So my dear Nigerians, are we waiting for america to finish d oil in 9ja, have hands in other lucrative ventures in nigeria and strike a 70%:30%(I.e they get 70% of the nations profit while we are left with 30) before d scale from her eyes will fall off? What has stopped us from training our military and equipping dem with state of d art machineries and also training our intelligence personells. The US intelligence do they have 2 heads or is their body composition diff from ours?that we can't be @ par with them. The diff here is just dat dey invest time n money in d right places, while nigerian govt is busy squandering, embezzling and funding Boko haram. We want to experience 21st century colonisation by the US abi? Lets all keep acting like fools cuz dey will use the living daylight out of us and as daft as d govt is dey won't know wen to tell dem enough is enough not to talk of standing dia ground. Make dem dey mumu up n down. May God help us!
ReplyDeleteIf they like let them take over nigeria as long as it will bring back our girls, no problem
DeleteIf they like let them take over nigeria as long as it will bring back our girls, no problem
DeleteAwesome Mr. Obama! Can u also help find our missing $20billion dollars? Our govt is apparently incapable of locating tht as well.
ReplyDeleteBy the time d whole world wants to help us I wonder what will be left of our resources in nigeria. Meanwhile Jona is busy shining teeth n boasting of how US, UK and d rest want to help...issorai...
ReplyDeleteEdidiong are u afraid that americans are coming. Are u a BH. Infact am suppecting u
DeleteMr President may God continue to bless and increase you in wisdom! This is just a phase, God will raise himself mightyly like He did in 1998. And like Abacha, boko haram will become history
ReplyDeleteIts about time.. God of Elijah come to our aid..
ReplyDeleteDats a gud one! Help @ last from super powers. Result of massive protest...
ReplyDeleteOk now! Jack Bauer, Indiana Jones and Liam Neeson from Taken 1 and 2 (whatshischaractersnameagain?) in transit to Sambisa! Hoot hoot! Best news I've heard all week!

ReplyDeleteJonathan u think say na free for obama to help u out abi?anyways get ready to resign the bill.God help my mother land
ReplyDeletedats very good to hear......linda, i learnt, d robbers who attacked vine int school in my area at nyanya, has been caught n arrested at lafia,,,,,tnk God ooo......yaxx
ReplyDeleteHmmm, I'm watching
ReplyDeleteYES!!!!
ReplyDeleteFor ur information, America has said they r not sending their troops down to Nigeria. They ll only share intelligence with our security agents. And I honestly don't see how that's going to help us. It's like putting Obama's head on Jona's body. It's still not logical abeg.
ReplyDeleteI am really happy about this. Mmmm I hope they include JACK BAUER
ReplyDeleteWe got to this point as a Country because our Northern muslims opposition politicians boasted that they will make Nigeria ungovernable for President Jonathan. Boko Haram was encouraged to emerge by them. The very terrible result is what we are seeing now. President Jonathan appointed former National Security Adviser, General Aliu Gusau who is from the North East as Minister of Defence. It is currently his primary responsibility to lead the Country's security forces to deal with this insurgency. However, Gusau is nowhere to be found when other service chiefs are working. Gusau is probably sleeping in his house. We have not seen Gusau visiting, directing and encouraging our security forces. Gusau and others are trying to sabotage President Jonathan in order to gain political advantage.
ReplyDeleteHappy that the world is ready to assist but my greatest fear is the safety of the girls. This girls are with cannibals and satanic ocvultic lunatic, they could viciously kill this innocent girls before they are being rescued. Please let's be careful. Book haram are powerless but we must be careful in order not to endanger the girls any further.
ReplyDeleteGEJ, jst suprise Nigerians with dis decision & stop letting ur plans out as it may cause more harm than good, cos with this ur 'exposed efforts' to sort solutions, the 'enemy' will now deduce a 'smarter way in carrying out their plans'. The suspects or enemy's informant is never & not far from GEJ. SO BEWARE!!!
ReplyDeleteHin for no accept am... Mtcheeew
ReplyDeleteThat is a nice one GEJ attacks on the boko ants should be unware offcourse the should be ware of the intervention but should be caught unware
ReplyDeleteMmmm I hope this is not a ploy to introduce homo and lesbo tinz sha. Cause after helping, america fit say oya jonah con un-sign that anti gay bill. So naijans never rejoice because it is not yet over until it is over.
ReplyDeleteAlhamdulillah( thank God) Mr President sir,good move. These killings and abduction must stop.
ReplyDeleteok 4 a start i am voting GEJ come 2015, this man doesn't want 2 do 2 much cos he is waiting 4 his 2nd term, then he will ansa Buhari n co, just watch fellow 9ja ppl, Sanusi,Buhari n co decided to make dis mans administration hell as ey promised but cum 2015 they will c,
ReplyDeletehelp from America? smh, if not 4 politics if Buhari is arrested we wii know we have started winning,and na only him go waka enter cell. There is God oh.
ReplyDeleteWhat do they even mean by "Accept" at this point, this clueless government has no choice because it is only America that will know how to find them #AmericaWillKnow. May God help us. #BringBackOurGirls
ReplyDeleteThe truth and success of this whole thing lies in hands of God. Presido your good luck will never stop leading us. Oga Obama thanks for your offer ,we believe that through the help of our lord Jesus Christ that you will be able to acheive a good result. We also beg you to render this help unconditionally.
ReplyDeletePlease come guns ablazing! Destroy everything in sight! Bring Boko haram to their knees and their sponsors hung out to dry!
ReplyDeletePolitics
ReplyDeletePolitics
ReplyDeleteRescue which girls? Are they missing again? Nonsense people. Something we should have rallied round to solve by ourselves earlier now we have deliveredour country into the hands of a colonialist. Nigeria as you know it may well be gone because Goodluck is not smart enough to control America's excesses.
ReplyDeletelol....Naija people as lazy as we are,we are here rejoicing. Instead of us to have sat down and scattered our heads with all sorts of thoughts we could come up with to fix our nation and fight this insurgency and all the wrongs in the nation we were fighting tribal and religious war of words. We always dive to steal other people's help and be parasites. It is a shame that we claim to be an independent/sovereign & yet we cannot take care of ourselves.
ReplyDeleteTHAT'S LIKE INVITING ANOTHER MAN TO BANG YOUR WIFE WHILE YOU WATCH BECAUSE YOUR WIFE SAID YOU'RE LAME IN BED. THE OTHER MEN THAT BANG GREATLY ARE ALSO HUMAN BEINGS & THAT MEANS OVER TIME,WHEN YOU TRAIN YOURSELF, YOU WOULD BE EQUALLY GOOD.
Let me tell you all my compatriots, inviting the US into this matter is the beginning of a bigger terror picture because the US would capitalize on this to frustrate our nation. You don't believe? Ask Libya (that was the African nation with the highest Human development index under Gaddafi and in just 3 years has become a nation divided without a real central government), ask Afghanistan (where the president of Afghanistan has been frustrated by US government and forces and he keeps asking them to leave his country but they keep refusing or stalling). Ask Iraq which is a bomb-test ground now etc. Expect your privacy to start being infringed on by fucking foreigners. Una never jam, continue rejoicing over our collective laziness to think beyond our noses to get solutions to our own problems. Later, we would say people discriminate against us....why wouldn't they? When we always prefer to lazy around,take backseat and rejoice at them "helping" us do the most basic things at every instance.
I really regret the day GEJ became president cos if it were a firmer president, based on Nigeria's track record in the past, I honestly don't think boko haram would have grown this big. This government was weak from the onset & so terrorists capitalized on that fact.
So,na only to dey harass poor civilians wey dey wear camouflage on the streets Naija military sabi.No good intelligence or special display of skills to contain these beasts called BH?You be all glorified boy scouts! SMH for my people.
ReplyDelete(in shekau's voice ) they think i'm foolish to b waiting dem in this forest....relocating tinz boiz
ReplyDeleteBest news ever!!!!! Jonathan finally got some balls! Thank God
ReplyDeleteIt is amusing when people talk of the f**k**g yeye intelligence that may be privy to the Americans accept there offer to hear. Meanwhile the idiotic head of the soldiers with their big belle and stolen wealth are incapable of solving the problem. The weakling President is the worst leader Nigeria has ever had. Even Yaradua on his death bed was more capable. Let the moron relocate the idiotic chief of staff to the battle ground with orders not to return until the poor girls are released and Boko Haram defeated. Such a shame that today more girls were kidnapped. The office of the president has never descended so low in Nigeria's history and to add sand to Garri, the world is wondering if this is the quality of our PhDs, better if na mugu wey no see the 4 corner of school be president.
ReplyDeletethis is what obama has always wanted so that we can in return pay with our oil
ReplyDeleteIf the 20 million dollars that was given to Nigeria from America for security was spent properly there would be no Boko Halal problem going on.
ReplyDeleteAmerica has oil of their own, so I highly doubt this security assistant will come at any price. The price is to eradicate these insurgents, it benefits the entire globe to wipe them out entirely, that is the benefit for America and all of us. Boko Halal must be wiped out.
All you crazy people been scared that America is taking over is it not better? What good has the nations resources brought to you no light no jobs kidnapped children etc please you all shut up and let them work! If they wanna take over so be it! Too much stolen funds anyways at least let them be law and order in our country number 1 rule!
ReplyDeleteTHIS IS WHY AMERICA IS REGARDED AS THE WORLD MOST POWERFUL COUNTRY. LETS DO IT AGAIN!
ReplyDeleteIt will also be helpful in the future if these experts train the various security agencies on counter-terrorism. This will go a long way in helping to improve the security agencies.
ReplyDeleteI ddnt support the idea of USA & UK coming to help Nigeria on d issue of Boko Haram & General insecurity. USA have long predicted dat nigeria will be divided by 2015 & we are bringing d same people to come and help us resolve a problem dt they are supporting silently , have U ever wondered how Boko haram is funded & operates without being caught, they have super intelligence network that even confuses our security chiefs. we shld take a look at all d countries they went in to intervene and see if there is peace in those places till now, look at Afghanistan, Iraq, Egypt , Libya just to mention but a few, they have more troubles dan even b4 their intervention ,how kan we compromise our internal security to US soldiers, taking in mind dat dey will never take orders from Nigerian security apparatus except from PENTAGON.They will make matters worst for us cos dey will remain in nigeria and do everything possible to make sure dt we ddnt remain a united country so dey will remain afloat as World no 1 police & start drilling our OIL .we should have contacted countries like CHINA & RUSSIA dat doesn't want nigeria to break if at all we needed foreign intervention at all. Our Govt should take a critical look at all d Donor Agencies esp from USA to know how dey spend d money coming into nigeria from their country .Some people may not see dis truth from my perspective but TIME SHALL TELL.#copied#
ReplyDeletelet them come but discretion is advice,its a welcome ideal but let them be subjected to us,lets work as a team with them.after all its our problem not theirs.
