Welcome home princess.

MEGAN IS A NIGERIAN HALF-CAT.

They should go back to their country.

After all his mother, Eliza, and his cohorts did to us. They are not welcomed, let them go back to their country.

All these visits don't translate to quality life for Nigerians neither do our politicians learn good governance or anything from it.



They are just for posing for cameras and more looting.

Nothing to celebrate here.

I suspect say that your wife get Nigerian blood, the way she take dey control you, come turn you to simple person.

Visit that will not have any impact in our economy.

Will his visit bring down the rice price?

Has rice ever been affordable in Nigeria?

For as long as I can remember, NIgerians have always been saying 'food too cost'

Ironically, we are eating more rice than we did 50-60 years ago, when rice was only eaten once a week...on Sundays.

A guy that refuse to protect the family heritage because of a woman that may live him anytime soon when going is getting tough is not worthy to be called a man. Ask Samson, he will tell you how he lost everything because of strange woman.

Meanwhile your family will always there with you no matter how bad it is...

what are they looking for?

Defence Hqtrs, Please let them be heavily guarded. We love them so much and we don't want anything to happen to them ooo. So that they won't reduce Nigeria to a pile of rubble overnight.

Those saying they should go back to their country need to stop disgracing themselves and worry about things that are directly affecting them. Don't you know its a boost for tourism in your country get a grip. I hope they have a beautiful enjoyable visit

Good

The slave merchant is back to see his subjects.


We should all lie down as sign of loyalty. Africa will never make any progress due to our poor sense of reasoning. What a shame.

What did they do to u that u cudnt change in over 60 years


'Cause you are not a king if you can't come out a thing
That you got yourself in, claiming nobody helping
The stupidest part of Africa produced Blacks that started algebra. ..



Nas, kings disease (intro)

Their visit has no direct nor indirect benefit to Nigeria and Nigerians.

Let's quit making Mountains out of dust.

A wealthy touring couple visiting their nation's former colony shouldn't be breaking or national news.


No offense!

They will drink tea of 300 billion dollars
