There’s a serious gossip or rumor ongoing and i wish to bring it to your notice….
US 🇺🇸 military base rumored to be making some consideration of getting into Nigeria.
The write below made several analysis on why it’s necessary for the US military base to Nigeria..Â
However, popular Investigative Journalist David Hundeyin wrote below about what he thinks….
See what he wrote below…..
“Dickson, you’re my guy so I’ll say this with the utmost good faith:
The strategic purpose of those countries to U.S. foreign policy is COMPLETELY different to the strategic purpose of Nigeria or any sub Saharan African country as far as U.S. foreign policy is concerned.

Yes, they relate a certain way with the UAE and Bahrain – because that relationship is useful to their bigger strategic goal of waging war on Iran, which they euphemistically call “containment.”
They relate a similar way with Japan and South Korea – because that is part of a wider strategy for waging war on China, North Korea and eventually India too. We do not have any similar circumstances in Africa.
U.S. foreign policy for Africa (which is available as a PDF document you can download) states very clearly that the American vision for Africa is for it to “maintain the flow of resources to the global market” (that’s a direct quote). The only “threats” to this goal as far as the U.S. is concerned, is “terrorism,” hence even their defence partnerships are always about countering terror *where it threatens the flow of natural resources to the global market.*
In other words, American foreign policy sees the Uranium in Niger as the valuable asset the country has – not the 21 million ni**ers that inconveniently happen to live there. It sees the oil in Escravos and the lithium in Kogi as the valuable assets in Nigeria – not the 200 million Dicksons and Miriams living there.
A U.S. military base anywhere in Africa serves EXACTLY the same purpose that the old colonial military bases did – to protect the flow of African resources, and not the lives of African people which America considers to be less than worthless. There’s a reason why despite multiple U.S. military involvements in every African conflict you can think of, the conflicts only got worse.

In case you’ve forgotten, when the country they literally created in West Africa fell into civil war, they simply watched from their ships for years, until Nigeria sent Nigerian men to go and die for that country to have peace. They could have ended that war in 5 days if they wanted, but that was not their mission. African resources have more value than African lives. They’re in Africa to protect their strategic foreign policy interests and not your life.
We’re not Japan, UAE or South Korea. Never, ever forget that.
