Following recent remarks by the US Secretary of State,
John Kerry and the European Union on the postponement of the general
elections, the Federal Government through the Ministry of Foreign
Affairs today Feb. 11th, warned all foreign missions in the country
to stop interfering in its internal affairs, particularly its electoral
process.
At a meeting with over a hundred heads of
missions in Abuja, the Minister of foreign affairs, Amb. Aminu
Wali, said information reaching the Federal government indicates that
some foreign missions want to interfere in the electoral process and
that the federal government will not tolerate such actions. He said
interference in Nigeria's internal affairs by foreign envoys is
unacceptable..."No country, I repeat no country, no matter how well intentioned can love Nigeria more than Nigerians themselves. Excellencies let me seize this opportunity to express the strong displeasure of the Federal government on conducts of some heads of mission who have continued to behave in an imperial manner and in clear breech of the channel of diplomatic communication. A situation where a head of mission takes on the role of a government seeking to impose the views and perspectives of its government and make unguided utterances on matters that are strictly within the domestic jurisdiction of the host country is unacceptable. Let me be clear, the Federal government would no longer tolerate the excesses of such heads of mission. They are hereby advised to operate within the norms and etiquette of diplomatic intercourse” the Minister said.While reacting to the postponement in a statement released on Sunday February 8th, US Secretary of State, John Kerry said “political interference with the Independent National Electoral Commission” is unacceptable, calling on the government to “not use security concerns as a pretext for impeding the democratic process”.

In his words "No country, I repeat no country, no matter how well intentioned can love Nigeria more than Nigerians themselves."...
He spoke well.
Thumbs up to him.
to some extent, I also don't like when the interference is too much but then again it keeps some of these peeps in government on their toes.
Nice one

Wawu! Reminds me of when Late Sani Abacha wants to address Nigeria.
~BONARIO~says so via NOKIA LUMIA
People like Jonathan end up being dictators.Watch out for the signs, Idi Amin, Ghadafi, Hitler. They are harmless at first, then gradually begin to do unbelievable things. They take you unawares. Watch out!
Don't mind all those white fools..
Good! GEJ govt "good morning"! Ah ah! I was wondering why Kerry will be making such utter nonsensical statements on a sovereign state! Haba! If Tinubu is connected to Obamas campaign Manager, does that give kerry the temerity to meddle in internal affairs of the nation! What balderdash! What gibberish coming out of John Kerry! How dare him talk condescendingly to Nigeria Govet! Thank you Wali! Thank you Jonathan! GEJ you definitely have to be strong! You may not be the best, but obviously you're better than some stupid dictators and confirmed state looters!
ok
i understand but if the FG don't act accordingly, what do you expect? for instance, in the case of Boko Haram

But when it comes to war now
You will beg them to intervene
Be careful of the kind of warning you give o
Gbam, but Nigeria should do things in more honorable way though.
Shalom in Nigeria, Amen.
Ok!
OK......
#GodblessNigeria
They should all mind their business... they all want to create way in every country so that them alone becomes the boss...idiots..Naija na our own, all the countries wey una go help, peace no dey there....leave us alone ooohhh
Nigeria, we are finished. Poking hand in the eye of the US. Ask Putin how far? GEJ will put us in a deeper mess. Starting a Cold War with the US won't help us. Can't to #March4Buhari.
I pity for GEJ. Tah!! Nwa nu onye si gi kwo? Chai, the clueless one just shut Nigeria himself in the foot.
GEJ is one big mistake. Chai
In my opinion I think America is doing its best to ensure dat Nigeria divides just as they predicted. They're trying to start a cold war so that at the end of the day they'll come in and take charge just like they're doing in Iraq and the likes. They're throwing their weight behind GMB even when they knw there's a possibility he may not win, so that if it happens that he doesn't win, all aggrieved APC supporters will feel cheated and will want to revolt thereby causing the war they have long awaited for. But God pass them all...
Buhari has won already. Haters can bite me.
Everything about John Kerry's speech was fine until he used the word "pretext", then he lost me. God bless you Mr Wali. You are doing your job VERY WELL!!
Americans should leave us to conduct our affairs abeg. Every country America interfered in is in crisis today. Nigerians have made up their mind on who to vote for, even if the elections are on May 28 we will vote for our candidate of choice. America, deal with ISIS, Afghanistan, Somalia, Syria and Iraq abeg leave us alone.
That Interference is Very Wrong. We still an integrity as a Nation that we are. www.ikeani.blogspot.com
Another sad reminder of the Abacha years
Hmmmmmm. "De Javu". Has Abacha resurrect? This is the pattern before Abacha expired. GEJ, smell the coffee!
US is jst dreadful atimes.
Who is scared of an INTERNATIONALLY MONITORED FREE and FAIR election?
I mean, who doesn't want the people to make an INTERNATIONALLY MONITORED FREE and FAIR choice?
Who does not want the people to chose?
DEFEND YOUR RIGHT TO CHOOSE AND YOUR VOTE.
YOUR CHILDREN"S FUTURE IS IN YOUR HAND.
DO NOT SELL, "EAT" OR "DRINK YOUR CHILDREN"S FUTURE AWAY.
VOTE FOR CANDIDATE THAT WILL BEST PROTECT YOUR CHILDREN"S FUTURE.
Nigerians are afraid the world is calling them out on their bullshit!!! BS!!!
SHAAAAAAAAMMMMEEEEEEEEEEE on GEJ
Correct!
SMH, GEJ is a corrupt man, pure and simple.
Thank goodness! This warning is in its right direction. ALL of them should stand down on our affair and stop acting like they ever cared for the country. Permit me to use this "Thunder fire all of dem back and front". Thank you honourable Minister.
Just tell me why wouldn't foreign missions in the country be interfering in Nigeria's internal affairs, particularly its electoral process when it seems like they are incapable of handling their own affairs themselves. With what has been happening,they look disorganized so would you blame it on the foreign missions?? Hell no because Nigeria calls for it. #mytakeonthis#
This govt is ever so intolerant. They will soon warn God. Mtchew!!
That John kerry talks anyhow. We will not tolerate all those nonsense.
Thank Mr John Kerry Sir, this government have infriged on our diplomatic right by postponing the electio .
However by the grace of God they will be voted out. Change will come
Thanks, i like this move,cos they will not want us to advise them on how they run their govt, so i will they advise us on what to do
We know no country we love Nigeria dan Nigerians, but John kerry, Said the truth, We re voting u out this time gbam! Gbamest!!!! GMB all the way, vote for #change#
America won't sell weapons to Nigeria buh they want Nigeria to fight BH. U assholes should leave Nigeria alone. Ubanagum

Totally unacceptable! They should mind their businesses because the truth is, they never mean well for us- only looking for opportunities to take from us.
FG na today? If these world powers put a sanction on your ass you no go fit carry am. Truth hurts
I don't know their fucking problems about this nation. #AwonWere
Jonathan’s desperation is palpable. He won't need all these arduous efforts if he had actually done so well.
No matter how long you delay the burial of a corpse, the dead never returns. Jonathan can only delay the date but can't stop the end of his govt.
March4Change
March4Buhari
truth is bitter. Nigerian ambassador would have said the same thing.
Oh ok yeah we get it, only gej can interfere with the electoral process as he has already done, others should not even make observations and comments otherwise it would be classified as interference! Gej isn't happy about America's interest in our elections cos he doesn't want people up in his business when he starts rigging the elections! Get the f out, dear gej, aka failure of a president, Nigeria doesn't want you!
Word
How the matter take concern them?
instead of the people of Africa to come together and form a united front against exploitation from western countries, we keep faulting our government. thats why the west will continue to excel while Africa is considered a third world continent.
US have a negative agenda towards Nigeria, only if people can open their eyes to see their plot of achieving their prediction of Nigeria dividing in 2015. They are showing their dislike for the present administration because of its intention to stabilise the economy of Nigeria,thereby making Nigeria rely less on the US and other countries that has been using Nigeria as their number one consumer of their goods amongst other things. The US knows if they manipulate the APC to win the elections,but from the south will not accept such manipulation thereby given birth to agitation and subsequently result into civil war. At this point the prediction of the US will likely come to pass,because the war lords from Naija Delta will block all the oil wells and stop operation of all companies. Nigerians better be wise to see US plot, else we will divide this year and I will be proud to have Naija Delta Republic, at least we will use our oil revenue well even with the current fall of oil price to create more jobs to people from the region. All oil blocks that belongs to northerners and yorubas will be seized, we will disconnect every pipeline leadind to the north.
C me wahala o! Teh them jor. Hea!
Wen they ask Chad for help wetin dem expect....mtcheeew
LmAO. Why won't they talk when inconstistency in our government is now d order of d day.
Rantings of an ant. What will u do to them? For calling a spade a spade and not a big spoon? Whom the gods want to kill, they first make mad. Smh
I love dis, enof of dz APC rubbish.
Finally#CHANGE,about time our Govt takes a stance and stops its perenial ass nd bootlicking of the western world.this is Nigeria,we are NIGERIA.
OMG, these FG scumbags are fuckin retarded. They just shot themselves on the foot. The bums shld ve handled it Diplomatically through the backdoor. Believe me when i tell y'al that they are loosin international friends through such open actions which can best be described as rash considerin the timin.
These western countries don't give a hack about us,if there is no security worries in Nigeria where Boko Haram have killed more than what they have killed in Yemen why is US, Britain and France rushing to close their embassies over fear of in security in Yemen?
Nice one
Who the gods want to kill they first make mad....GEJ should set up another committee (as always) to ensure safe arrival of his belongings at Otueke....Enough of the International embarrassment
On this one, i agree with the Minister.
Sounds good. They should be warned" since they have nothing to offer. John Kerry n co, take note!
Lin Lin be my Val!
Can I get a drum role please....
This is what we are talking about. good speech. we need our govt to be at an alert alwz.
No other country can love Nigeria more than Nigerians.
The Government had better shut up. They really should not be talking.
#smh - did anyone watch the so-called PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE? The sound and visual qualities are worse that that of a N10k phone. This summarizes the present government; the monies voted to COMMUNICATION & PR, to the MILITARY, to HEALTH; where are these? WE NEED CHANGE - VOTE BUHARI!
Lobatan!
Pls all these foreign mug is should face their biz. Does naija determine how they do their own election. Olotos
This warning is long over due especially to America and who d hell those Kerry think he is to make such useless comments about internal politics? Where was he and his confused boss Obama when the US House Speaker John Boehner invited Isreali Prime minister Benjamin Netyanhu without their consent? Rubbish! Obama and his Democratic party members could not save Congress form Republicans and they want to interfere with in our elections, nonsense
Better....they should mind their business and stay on their lane

Do you know the reason? Find out and get prepared so that you don't wake-up one and find so much oil in your backyard but not even a single buyer for even $ 1 per barrel.

Jega was INEC chief when THE PEOPLE freely CHOSE Jonathan in 2011.
Now, THE PEOPLE want to choose freely again, but same Jonathan does not want THE PEOPLE to CHOOSE freely because he has disappointed them.
Jega has suddenly become compromised because he has refused to play ball by refusing THE PEOPLE CHOICE. He has suddenly become like the June 12 INEC chief who went ahead and announced the PEOPLE CHOICE despite IBB and military service chiefs objections.
Jonathan is now playing "the IBB's script" to all democrats, even the part involving the use of military service chiefs.
