Time has come for Nigeria as a nation to reassess her policies most especially at the international level and cooperate more with those countries of the world who are willing to do sincere business with them because the move made by the United States of America blocking Nigeria from acquiring the A-29 attack aircraft from Brazil was not so good. They claimed that Nigeria has human rights violations and as such would have to block the country (Nigeria) from acquiring such weapon until they change their wrong policies concerning human rights as alleged. We found this step taken by the United States of America totally wrong because in the United States and around the world, there are lots of human rights violations committed by the USA and no one is talking about it. As a civilized nation (U.S.A), what we (Viewers Corner News team) expect them to have done is engage in persuasive management not only to Nigeria but to other countries of the world that have similar issues as they claimed rather than using their influence to block Nigeria from acquiring what they need from Brazil. Nigeria needs this A-29 attack aircraft for her operation against the terrorist group (Boko Haram) which has killed thousands of innocent people in the northern part of Nigeria which the United States of America is aware of, therefore blocking Nigeria would automatically mean that the United States of America does not want Nigeria to get rid of Boko Haram in the country (Nigeria) which does not say well of a great country like the United States of America. However since the U.S has taken such stand, Nigeria should seek more closer ties with countries that would appreciate and work with them nicely. We also gathered that Nigeria has started moving closer to Russia which is very good, if Brazil can not supply the A-29 attack aircraft to Nigeria then Russia can give it to them or China. Sincerely Russia is another great country of the world and their policies towards the third world countries is more favourable and nice when compared to other advance nations. Again it should not be a must that the third world countries would always dance to the tune of what the advance nations of the world want, no this is not right and if the third world countries want to earn respect for themselves, they should start thinking towards self reliance and not waiting for one advance country to come and dictate to the third world nations on how to run the affairs of their various countries. Nigeria should take the blocking of A-29 attack aircraft which they wanted from Brazil as a challenge and work to develop and at the same time improve their own capabilities, this would do the country (Nigeria) a whole lot of good.
