Global Business Syndicate Offers to buy Nigeria
12 Jan 2011
...Shell et all already own it.
Washington – A leaked diplomatic cable obtained by wazobiareport.com has revealed that a group of global business leaders, backed by the United States government, tendered a secret proposal to purchase Nigeria.
Key personnel at the Nigerian House of Representatives were involved in negotiation meetings that took place in Abuja and in London.
This is the first known time in world history that a business syndicate has offered to buy an entire country.
People linked to the secret proposal have categorically denied any such business dealings.
The leaked cables also suggested that the detention of James Ibori, the former governor of Delta State, was a big set back for the deal as he was the head of the secret committee setup by the Nigerian Federal Government to assess the proposal.
Information obtained from the leaked diplomatic cable also suggests that apart from having an exclusive monopoly on Nigeria’s vast oil deposits, the Syndicate was offering parts of the country to the United States government as an alternative to the Guantánamo Bay detention camp.
The cable highlighted the economic advantage of establishing such a detention camp in Nigeria:
“Hostile natives can be conscripted or paid below minimum wage to work as guards.
“The various forms of torture currently used on Nigerian citizens by Nigerian security forces can be harnessed as a vital tool in the war against terror.
“Given Nigeria’s dismal human rights record, we do not anticipate any sustained objections to the establishment of the camp.
“We believe that an offer of ten cents on the dollar worth of the nation will be accepted by their corrupt leaders.”
When wazobiareport.com reporter, Joe Aibozaw, conducted a Word-On-The-Street interview yesterday, he was surprised to find that people were generally not moved by news of the plan to sell off their country.
One of the men interviewed wanted to know if this meant that getting an American visa would become easier.
He said: “If the government people no want sell we country, me I fit arrange make the oyinbo people by my village for Arondizuogu.”
