MY SAY: NIGERIA, ISRAEL AND THE UNITED STATES
Israel’s sovereignty was recognized by the United States in 1948. The United States recognized the Federation of Nigeria on October 1, 1960, in a congratulatory message from Secretary of State Christian Herter and a congratulatory letter from President Dwight D. Eisenhower delivered to Prime Minister Sir Abubukar Tafawa Balewa on October 2, 1960. Nigeria had been previously under British sovereignty.
Israel remains a democracy with highly advanced scientific, cultural, technological, and social and civil rights institutions.
Nigeria is in total chaos with rampant terrorism, massacres, oppression and murder of Christians, kidnappings. cruel enforcements of Sharia law, and increasingly dominated by Boko Haram an offshoot of the Taliban/Al Qaeda.
Nonetheless Israel is pummeled, derided and continually scolded by the Obama administration.
There was a minor blip on the kidnapping of teenage girls by Mrs. Obama…but not much else. And former Sec. of State and now Presidential wannabe Hillary Clinton refused to call Boko Haram a “terrorist” group.

“The State Department under Hillary Clinton fought hard against placing the al Qaeda-linked militant group Boko Haram on its official list of foreign terrorist organizations for two years. And now, lawmakers and former U.S. officials are saying that the decision may have hampered the American government’s ability to confront the Nigerian group that shocked the world by abducting hundreds of innocent girls.”
Well maybe she was rattled that day by the fact that a porch was added to a home in one of Israel’s “settlements.”
