Why Global Leaders Boycotted Buhari’s United Nation’s Address by dougivilla(m): 5:44pm On Sep 30, 2015
HOUSTON, Sept 30 (International Guardian) - A
conclave of world leaders, international media,
and other delegates who thronged the United
Nation’s General Assembly’s seventieth session
were nowhere to be found when Muhammadu
Buhari, President of Nigeria, addressed the general
debate on September 28, and the poor outing was
conspicuously appalling.
What seemed like a mass boycott of President
Buhari’s speech may be associated with his
nonchalant attitude and a lack of seriousness in
communicating severe security issues related to
the Boko Haram killings, it was gathered.
International Guardian’s correspondent in New
York for the event reported a lonely frazzled
speaker, sweltering as he imperceptibly picked his
words from a written script. “At some point, I
thought he was talking to himself,” said Joel
McHenry, another delegate, a Canadian-based
observer who spoke to our newsroom.
Another delegate associated with the United
States office of the Secretary of States
categorically labelled Buhari’s absence and
attitude over issues of security as “utterly
dismissive.” “World leaders are so engaged with
regions serious about their agenda, and Nigeria
has not shown that enthusiasm,” he said. In
July, International Guardian reported how
President Muhammad Buhari’s exorbitant visit to
the United State emitted some horrible stakes
causing the White House to voice out complete
disappointed about a total lack of preparedness
by the Nigerian contingent to discuss vital issues
about both countries. The Obama administration
had also decried a poor presentation of policy
needs and updates made by the Nigerian leader.
President Buhari’s UN outing has equally been
riddled with controversy over poor logistics,
lackadaisical preparations, and process
incomprehensibility. First, he had missed a United
Nation’s meeting in which countries affected by
Boko Haram's violence pleaded for assistance for
those displaced by the insurgency. In a region
where millions are being displaced by the Islamist
outfit, Nigeria’s absence from this meeting was
seen as blow to a global collaboration for
assistance over war against terrorism. For
instance, a few weeks ago, the Geneva-based
International Organization for Migration estimated
that at least 2.1m Nigerians have been displaced
since the group began violence in 2009.
Another embarrassment yet plagued President
Buhari's outing when he was prevented from
meeting Pope Francis for arriving late at the
facility, and aimlessness using the wrong gate.
As a process, presidents, governmental heads,
and delegates are expected to arrive early for UN
engagements, and facilitators often brief
diplomatic officers ahead of time to avoid process
failures. It was not clear what happened in
President Buhari’s case as his entourage,
handlers, and the Nigerian embassy staff were
busy trading blames about the shameful outings.
It may be recalled that in July, the President fired
all non-career Nigerian ambassadors in foreign
countries in what he called an effort to "reposition
the country’s foreign policies." In September
consequently, he announced a proposed
shutdown of some Nigerian Embassies and
Ministry of Foreign Affairs, claiming his actions
would cut down costs and wasteful spending.
Since these changes, operations at most Nigeria’s
foreign offices have been disorderly and
structurally unproductive. It was not clear if the
prevailing rigid work environment in these offices
was the cause of President Buhari’s UN
humiliation, but as one of the Nigerian delegates
who anonymously spoke to International Guardian
in New York put it, “I will not make guesses, but I
can assure you that heads will roll.

I can't stop wondering how we descended so low as to elect a misfit like buhari president of the hitherto giant of Africa.

How are the might falling!!!

Buhari got 3 times the audience than GEj . That's a great improvement which shows that slowly but surely Nigeria is regaining its respect

You are the Mumu, it is stupid to compare Nigeria to America instead compare Nigeria ( even if the USA is governed by a clown like Kanye west it will still have more world leaders in attendance simply because it's America) now to before same way one would compare Obama to Bush. If you want to even do country comparisons it's stupid to compare America to an African country, show us another African country and then we can talk.

By the way going by GEj and now Buhari you see that the respect Nigeria has is more now and it will keep increasing
