The British colonized Nigeria for nearly 200 years, now it is United States\\\'s turn under the disguise of Bilateral National Agreement to colonize Nigeria again. Is this what Mr. Hussein Barack Obama up to? No need for this agreement at all, because Nigeria is a sovereign, independent Nation under the United Nations Charter.

Nigeria is one of the largest trading partner of United States, even before Barack Obama, and Jonathan were born. Nigeria is a non _aligned independent Nation that needs no agreement with any Nation in order to survive.

A biding agreement of this kind will put her(Nigeria) in a spot check, limiting her independence to deal with other Nations. USA and Nigeria should respect each other\\\'s sovereignty; that alone is enough. The people of Nigeria will love to see the GOVERNMENT GAZZETTE detailing word for word the skeletal nature of these bilateral agreements.

No shady, arm twisting, backdoor agreements of any kind welcomed. I also strongly believe that these agreement have to be approved by the joint Houses of the Nigeria's National Assembly before implementation. This agreement is a venomous antidote for Nigeria; we should not allow Barack Obama to pull a fast one on Nigeria.

Heavens always help those who help themselves. If our leaders think the US is coming to turn their country into paradise, they better have their brains “meticulously examined”; the British never did, and US is not coming to ease their pains.

United States went through painstaking developments on her own, so did China, Britain, India, Vietnam, Korea, Malaysia, Iran, Israel, and others. So Jonathan, don't sell Nigeria into "SLAVERY" again, you must resist being taken to be a sucker.
