It's not about the truth. It's about the context of his office as the president of Nigeria and being the face of the country, especially when speaking to the international media. I'm sure you know whatever he said represents who he's and his office cos he represents the people.

You can't be blunt about everything as the country's first citizen, hence leaders always have handlers and they have to speak a certain way. Buhari needs to stop talking to the international media till his handlers can teach him how to talk the right way.

Lebanese tend to have a rotten reputation all over Africa.. The Mexicans are notorious for crimes in USA.

Yet you will never see the leaders of any pf these countries tearing their countrymen down

Make to who and for what purpose. What is his objective, the end game.

How wrong could one person be? I'm just laughing at you cos your assumptions are making the little credibility your argument might have dwindle. Since you don't know me or know what I do for a living, I forgive you for your first blunder but the other blunders in your write-up is inexcusable! It's a pity you and others have decided to turn the president's statements into something else but it doesn't change the fact that Nigerians living abroad have nobody to blame but themselves! If they are not contented living in another man's land then let them come back home and rebuild, the ones living in Nigeria are not animals and they do not have two heads. As bad as it can be sometimes living in the U.S.,I still appreciate the good opportunities provided and always thankful for my achievements so far. Not everyone is meant to be successful abroad and you can't expect Buhari to support nagging and whining from frustrated souls abroad most of whom are victims of the evil committed by their fellow Nigerians abroad. You also mentioned if Nigeria was better most people wouldn't migrate but tell me this, is Nigeria the only country where suffering exists? The president has not done or said anything damaging, the only damage exists in your mind and the mind of those who can't handle honesty!

flokii:
buh he is not lying na..

85% of Nigerians abroad are either involved in one crime or another..

need we talk about drug trafficking, internet fraud etc... Nigeria doesn't have good reputation so why d fuss..

Adaure4ever:
dats not what I mean.
If you count the statistics of Crime commited by Africans in UK, it is commited mainly by Nigerians.
All this Scam of a thing.
That is the point Buhari wants to make.

sameer1212:
No mind them. Don't tell me you don't know people complaining All these kids you see ranting on social media has not ever step out of their village talk less of what's going on out side Nigeria. The president spoke the bitter truth. They should stop doing drug trafficking,human trafficking and other silly things that bring shame to the country simple.

God bless Nigeria

My problem with you and your likes is, you know nothing about western countries. Dude if you don't know,there are many Nigerians in western countries prisons. BTW,why am I even wasting my time with some who's life is full of sadness

Okay, you live in America. However, that doesn't negate the fact that you can take a naij person out of naij, but can't take the residual effects of naij experience and the mentality out of the person. And it's very evident in ya posts.

In as much as the US isn't a shinning example to define refinement cos the average yank is a brawn. I'd like to cite a similar example from America of the president of a country being supposedly "blunt and cold" unnecessarily in a different context and I'll like to know what you think. During the Harvard Professor, Henry Gates, and the police saga of racial profiling and forceful arrest in his home. I'm sure you remember Obama, as the POTUS, was "blunt and cold" when he gave his opinion on the issue. But what backlash did he get for being unpresidential in his approach, despite the fact that everything he said was right on the money? Once you can answer this, you'll understand why Buhari's wrong.

babafirst:
Please,Prof Gates case is not a perfect example to cite here,it involved racism (tribalism if it happened in Nigeria) and Obama had to be cautious(and all Nigerians are cautious too when it comes to tribalism and in 'real life' they pretend to love each other but on Nairaland where they are 'faceless' they show their true colours) but PMB mentioned a problem that involves all tribes not representing Nigeria well abroad and not the hardworking ones like Odion Ighalo,Emenike,Obafemi Martin's or my elder brother who is a 'first class' medical doctor in the UK today. Ofcourse that comment has not reduced my brother's clients/patients one bit.

He spoke for himself and his family. Do u know them better than he does?

God bless Nigeria.

I cant imagine you saying sh*t to me as if you are writing from heaven..
Please whatever the fvck you know about the west, just keep it to urself...

My other moniker is BeClever, check my Christmas write-ups on NL and see how I toured round the world with my family for holiday... I could never live there for any reason except if Nigeria burns.

NB: you and I are not mates...

People commits crimes allover the world, so it's not only Nigerians..

I don't blame you, since it was your God who said you are a criminal and you accepted, why waste my time on you...

Its seems he commits the most oral blunders when he's in the white man's land, he may just stop travelling or better still keep mute if he has nothing good to say about Nigeria whenever he's abroad.

sameer1212:
Keep quiet there. What do you know? Where have you been? The bitter truth is,Nigeria has a bad image in many western countries.

freshvine:
He said that in London and the only two cases of terrorism we heard from that end were committed by 2 young Muslim men from the West of Nigeria.


Then there was this hausa boy who also tried to blow up American passenger airline

Oh no! Boko haram has been projecting the good image of Nigeria internationally.

Chei I forgot that Donald Trump said education Nigerians have taken over the United States workforce when the should've been in Nigeria and allow quota system kill their career!

OH boy, even the repatriation of foreign earnings to boost the economy? This our dynamic president is indeed short sighted!
