Well, I can't say I'm against Buharis visit to USA as long as it would yield positive results. On the other hand, one wonders whether Barak will be courteous enough to repay such visits.

What should be at the mind of Buhari is what does Nigeria stand to gain...

To be sincere, we're more intelligent than Americans.

Who's more educated between the then head of state of our dear beloved country Nigeria and the president of the United States of America.

This comparison is not apt.
Gowon was a dictator that had just succeeded in executing a bloody coup.
It would be foolhardy for him to leave his newly found comfort in Nigeria and travel to a principled and democratic United States.
Only God knows what they had in Stock for him then.

However, Buhari... Buhari is like a new bride to Obama. Hear this :

"Obama who sent his congratulatory message in a
press statement obtained by our correspondent in
New York, also promised that his administration
would maintain healthier and stronger ties with
the government of Nigeria."

So the cases are quite different. This time the United States President Is meeting a refined democrat

. Mr and Mrs Beremx if you don't know the difference then its a pity. The Gowon administration was pro capitalism and a believer in free markets thereby leaning to the right while the dysfunctional Buhari administration is supposed to be a pro socialist government leaning a bit to the left, that's if they have an ideology.
Hmmm...if gowon was pro capitalist then d IV 2 US would have been a good opportunity 4 him 2 identify with d cradle of capitalism. If on d other hand buhari is pro socialist, his romance with d west seems 2b a contradiction of his ideology. Is this what u are trying 2 posit?

But he was invited. He didn't request 2b allowed 2 visit d US. So his honour was intact. Again, Gowon didn't execute any coup. D counter coup which u are refering 2 was executed by murtala mohammed

And Buhari left Nigeria without having a cabinet in place?

Nigerians will not understand things the way you do.

Any way, I hope the ordinary commissioner is around. He is a qualified elite Nigerian and can effectively act as president for 5 day or even one week.

Nothing is really a mistake. We either teach people by the experience we had or are taught by our experience. A lesson can't ne painful but hard.

I doubt your sincerity but let's address this issue objectively.

Who brought us into this mess? was it Buhari or GEJ?

It is on record that GEJ had resorted to borrowing to pay salaries when the administration got broke. Was this Buhari's fault too?

What wrong has Buhari done? He met a virtually empty federation account, only $29 billion in the foreign reserve, what is he supposed to do?

If you truly love this country as you claim, you'd be so angry like I am with GEJ and you'll support any move by Buhari to recover stolen wealth from the past government.

I am pissed with GEJ because we witnessed oil boom during his government, yet he couldn't save, neither did he invest the money on job creation and infrastructure development.

Some children disown and curse their parents for their irresponsibility, its equivalent to what Nigerians did to GEJ. And please don't give me this "was he the one who started it all" because if he decided to join the league of those past criminals, then he deserves their place in history too, a place in our ugly past

You said it all cool

The Presidents visit to the US shdnt be such a Big deal at this time wen Nigeria is trying to reorganise itself after d wayward manner in which the previous administration handled issues home and Abroad.

In the wake of Chibok girls kidnap several foreign nations were ready to support Nigeria in d recovery of dose girls but most of this countries had to back out on seeing dat those who shd be in-charge weren't ready.

US and other countries are ready to support only if dey can see sincerity on the part of government.

Thank God for PMB, A man who has won the confidence of the international community. No matter how the opposition criticizes him, any matured and experienced man or woman will know that the man needs to be given a little time. Moreover its never how far but how well... I Wish the president and his entourage safe trip!!

Nice historical fact, quite intriguing though the timing is suspect, President Buhari's US trip seems to be giving TANoids nightmares.

Even the Americans are pleased with the size of the delegation, may this trip bring peace and prosperity to Nigeria.

u mean through this God forsaking country could bring peace n prosperity to Nigeria? U.s.a is by far more perverse n corrupt than sodom n gomorah. I believe it's now called "satan own state". Satan is in the throne of authority there

Watch WWs arrive here to crap all over the place as is characteristic of them.

Let me attempt how they would reason: Buhari the puppet is going to see his puppeteer. grin

The same people that were enraged when Obama visited some countries in Africa but skipped Nigeria when the Clueless Dunderhead was the president. cheesy

According to several media reports, President Buhari will be meet CIA director John Brennan during his state visit in the US.
If this is new, it will unfortunately confirm that APC have been in collusion with US intelligence in the Boko-Haram war against Nigeria
It is now an open secret for most analysts that Obama’s CIA runs Boko-Haram as evidenced by the video below

I don't have a bone in the fight over the leadership of Nigeria, I just want the best for the country. A country that's supposed to be an Eldorado is a perpetual third world. My hope is that Buhari will make a difference. Nigerians deserve better.i am not in support of any of the leaders and Buhari included. I hope the country moves forward[/s]

You are my friend on this forum, I don't want to see you drive yourself to suicide on this Buhari matter. Go to court if you feel aggrieved, or is that not what you used to say? Your master ran one of the worst governments in Nigeria that makes Abacha look like Angel Gabriel with over-bloated ministers including Wike that can't even spell well even as a lawyer. Nobody stampeded him or forced him into decision, even when some of these ministers were severally indicted for corruption. Please leave Nigeria's messiah alone to clean up the mess of the transformation of people's pockets and garages that your gutless master left as a legacy. The 15M+ people that voted for him are very much satisfied with his actions and inactions so far and will continue to support him till 2019 no matter how much wailing you wail.
