Pakistan may make Nigeria a nuclear power

Pakistan yesterday offered to share military assistance, including “nuclear power” with Nigeria, in defiance of President George Bush’s new counter-proliferation initiative.
The offer was announced by the Nigerian defence ministry in a statement saying that General Muhammad Aziz Khan, chairman of Pakistan’s joint chiefs of staff, had made the offer to the Nigerian defence minister, Rabiu Kwankwaso, during a visit to the west African state’s capital, Abuja.

“Speaking at the opening of the discussions, the Pakistani chairman of joint chiefs of staff … said that his country is working out the dynamics of how they can assist Nigeria’s armed forces to strengthen its military capability and to acquire nuclear power,” the Nigerian press release said. Neither the Pakistani nor the Nigerian governments clarified what Gen Khan had in mind.

Hahahhahahaha the last para of the article is redicoulous.
Nigeria DOES NOT get a substantial amount of aid from the US period!
Be it military or otherwise. Yes Nigeria has some military machinary made in the US but thats mostly purchases made decades ago.

Also the US is the largest importer of Nigerian Crude and they benefit hugely from it since Chevron, texaco are big oil firms the worlds 5th largest oil country and probably the 3-4th largest LNG country.

Nuclear power or not, America doesnt spend much on it, doesnt care much about the country. And honestly Nigeria could use the electric power as they economy of the country begins to grow.

Of course they have pulled back the statement. What else do you think they would do? And the mix-up was likely the secret nuclear documents being sent to the public relations people by mistake.

Pakora, you may have noticed, but I am not a big fan of mullahs of any kind, including those who are shia.
