Austria has no objection to this resolution; however we also have no colonial ambitions ourselves and would not wish to take on the responsibility for Nigeria's internal affairs ourselves.
However, many Austrian private enterprises may have skills and expertise relevant to Nigerian development. Perhaps the Nigerian representative might consider approaching Austrian transport and industry specialists about the possibility of their private investment in the country?

Peru respects Nigeria's wishes and will agree with this resolution. However we will restrain from offering any help for the time being as we are focusing on solving our own problems first.

Thank you Argentina. Nigeria respects your police force a great deal, perhaps you could send a training team to help educate our force? That way you could better understand the systems and controls we wish to implement.
Erm we can't really send you over a police academy as such, although I'm sure we can scrounge together some promotional leaflets?
Canada recognises Nigeria's wish for 'recolonisation' and, in light of it's own successful colonial history, offers aid. However, Canada witholds the decision to 'foster' Nigeria until it has thought about it some more.
The concept of 'colonisation' still (and justly so) holds a very negative connotation in South Korea. Speaking of which, though the Nigerian head of state had given his consent, what about the people's opinion? Do the citizens of Nigeria agree with this resolution?
In any case, South Korea will abstain from voting this resolution.

Cuba fought for decades to escape the shackles of colonisation from the Spanish and cannot believe that it is in the best interests, in the long term, for the Federal Republic of Nigeria, to be 'recolonised'. It may, although, be in the interests of some nations desparate to tap the natural resources.
We believe the way forward for Nigeria is a vigorous programme of international support while maintaining its own independence. And, so, we feel that we cannot support such a resolution.

Colonialisation is a bit strong, Nigeria prefers administration. A badly performing company brings in the administrators to sort them out.
The people of Nigeria do not know anything about this resolution, we are not a rich people. Internet and televisions are luxuries most cannot afford.
