Boko Haram: Don't Employ Foreign Agents, Tam David West Warns GEJ

Via Nation: Former Minister of Petroleum Resources, Prof. Tam David-West, has warned President Goodluck Jonathan against employing the services of foreign agents to battle members of the Boko Haram sect. David-West, posited that such countries would penetrate the country's system and
pursue their own agenda which will ultimately subjugate Nigeria's sovereignty.According to the don, western nations love Nigeria only for the oil not because of Nigerians.

He said: "I am warning again with all the seriousness, responsibility and my love for my nation that President Jonathan must not import foreign intelligence agents or anti-terrorist organizations into Nigeria.
"President Jonathan must not sell the country's sovereignty. If after 50 years we can't secure our state, then the government has failed; it must go," he said.

“The dangers are enormous. When they come ostensibly for security, they have their own agenda to penetrate our system and subjugate the sovereignty of the country. Not only that, they become a powerful force within the country to dictate the political direction. In short, Nigeria's sovereignty will be in jeopardy.

"No country in the west loves Nigeria because of Nigeria. What they love is the country's oil."

David-West pointed out that the interest of the United States in Iraq and Afghanistan lies in the availability of oil.
