Nigeria: Obama Declares Nigeria World's Next Economic Giant

2012-08-29

[Leadership.ng]

United States President Barack Obama
How's it going, Sunshine?...
has declared Nigeria as the world's next economic success story, stressing that this was one of the major reasons why his government was committed to helping the country build strong democratic institutions and remove constraints to trade and investment through the African Growth and Opportunity Act.

Making this declaration at the ongoing US-Nigeria Trade and Investment Forum, an event organised by the Nigerians in Diaspora Organisation (NIDOA) in Washington DC, yesterday, Obama who was represented by Ambassador Eunice Reddick, said that his country expanded opportunities for Nigeria to effectively access markets and diversify its economy beyond a narrow reliance on natural resources.

"As we support these efforts, the Diaspora can play an important role in contributing to a strong, vibrant and economically prosperous Nigeria" he noted.
Hello, friend and good fortune to you! I am the foremer Treshury Secratary of Libiya and need your help...
Obama said his country was investing in Nigeria's success because it recognises her as a strategic center of gravity, whose success would as well be Africa's success.

#9 Greetings!

I am a Nigerian Prince. We have been found to have many wonderful energy reserves both with our people and underground. However, I am having difficulties accessing my plubious accounts. If you would simply e-mail your treasury department's routing number I will be able to reward you handsomely and we will both profit!

#7 So, does he think that the Muzzies in the north will win the "civil war" and turn Nigeria into another Muslim economic super power? After all they have oil so why not Saudi Arabia?

#5 Should Obama lose the election I predict he will be financially bankrupt in a few short years. He will actively tour giving lectures in Universities where he will be well received. On the road carney act. One by one he will lose his handlers. In time he will just fade away.

#3 Champ sets the stage for his.... "job after" with a pat on the back to the type redistribution and racial socialsim he hoped to achieve in America.

Speaking of the "Durban I" conference...

As they arrived in their luxury BMW's plundered from their country's resources, or acquired with monies from foreign aid programs, it will be noticed that hardly any of them permit freedom of speech in their own feudal estates [These are] the very leaders who have plundered, wasted and stolen the resources meant for their subjects. Somalia, Liberia, Nigeria, Congo, Sierra Leone, Angola, Rwanda, Sudan and the jewel of Africa - Zimbabwe of blessed memory.
