Knowing fully well that the UK is just extending a hand of fellowship to maintain ties of imperialist to a vassal and not to relate as equals is not a rocket science but the reality of today is key to our national development. Did I hear N1 to $1? I rebuke dreaming in a world of fantassy. Nevertheless, the visit is good for the incoming government as it will allay the fears of our western partners that the people's General will not lock-up on them.

Maybe you guys are not so informed on the machinations of governance & nation building. A good reading of the book "From 3rd World to 1st World" may help you to understand the critical usefulness of good interpersonal relations between leaders to trade.

UK do not need to care about Nigeria & vice versa but if Nigeria will rise up, we cannot do so without keying into the value chain of our wealthy neighbours! No nation has ever been great without making key friends in key places.

Considering our cultural, social & political ties with the UK, there's no better friend out there among the G8 nations that our president-elect can court other than this.

It's ok to dislike or hate but please don't blind yourself from knowledge.

You seem not to understand the fundamental conflict in relations between western nations and developing nations. You naively assume we can somehow share the same interests in a win-win relationship, not realising that we are seen by them as potential competition in all spheres of endeavour. And that it is really not in their economic interests to see us (much less help us) industrialise and become truly independent of them.

So we are rightly suspicious seeing our President-elect cosying up to them even before he's formally assumed office.

The western powers only pretend to care when you do or promise to do their bidding. But when u put ur interest first and protect it against their will,u'll see their real color, they never cared about u or ur citenzry. They are just after their interests being implemented.

black people especially Nigerians will never agree with you.

"*On tackling corruption, they agreed this was a priority to ensure Nigeria’s prosperity and success. The Prime Minister agreed to look at what technical assistance and support the UK could provide to the Nigerian government as it looks to undertake its reforms."

This ^^ is why he was there.

Cameron: Sai baba, how far na?

Buhari: Walahi, I know once I return to power, most of them will run here, so I came to make down payment for 'flenty' crates.

I am from a position of common sense & not naivety. We cannot afford to willingly hold a position of hostility & ideological disregard for the West. Africa has been down that route in the past & it's a cold & empty place.

There's a salient Yoruba saying that "it is wisdom to refer to the mad man as bros so far he grants you the right of passage".

China was a determined opponent to d West & the G7 up till the 1980's when their government learnt a lot from Singapore's Kuan Yew on how to befriend your enemy/competitor. Despite that China would rise to be major economic competitor to the West, many western companies were lured to relocate to China in d 80's & 90's. Today, the same West has accepted China into the G8, WTO & GATT.

Nigeria & the UK are not enemies. Unequal friends we may be but surely not enemies. GMB is on the right path to court a major G8 member. It is the wise thing to do.

BTW, Nigeria doesn't necessarily need to industrialise to be a wealthy nation. Wealth of nations are not necessarily built on industries.

Buhari should just move to the UK and govern from there, he would save a lot on transportation.

Seems with every little problem in Nigeria, Buhari would run to the UK to ask Cameron what to do. Punch is reporting Buhari fled to the UK to avoid deciding who to back in the on-going fight for Senate Leader.

Buhari can't resolve the easy problem of who leads the senate yet people think he can stabilize world oil prices, smh.

So if YOU ever become president you would just sit in aso drive for 4 years without attempting any sort of bridge building efforts as well as making consultations with foreign allies? YOU must be another "EBELE" in the making!

Is the UK government really interested in Nigeria's welfare or is their interest on WHO is leading Nigeria. Why didn't they extend all these ' goodies' to Jonathan when it was obvious that the challenges were weighing him down. Or didn't Jonathan seek for their assistance and cooperation?

Returning Nigeria to colonial masters - Buhari style. Buhari is afraid he can't withstand all the forces of "reform Nigeria politically in a democracy or we pull out of Nigeria."

Let's see how British leaders shall lead both Britain and Nigeria for Buhari to sustain the unworkable political structure created by soldiers of Buhari clan to politically and financially favour politicians from Buhari northern clan.

Can't remember any African country's president-elect officially visiting British Prime Minister - for what?

What's Buhari doing at Dowining street if he was on a private visit? Obama on the other hand goes on state visits, except when on holidays.
Is Buhari on holiday or on state visit, why was he at Downing street, receiving orders I presume?
I hope we're not back to the days when our leaders travel monthly to the UK for meaningless advice, this is not 1985.

Obama goes for state visit because he is a sitting president. Buhari has not been sworn in and cannot go on state visit. He is at the moment, an influential Nigerian who was received by Cameron. Wise up.
