A Critical Look At Buhari Statements In Benin Republic With That Of England by Nobody: 5:00pm On Feb 08, 2016
Our President comments outside the shores of our country has made us the citizenry to be more confused and also it has hurt honest nigerians living abroad.

In August of 2015 our President was in Benin Republic for an official function and he took out time to meet Nigerians living there and he made this statement when asked what is he doing to facilitate some Nigerian who want to go home. He said thus:

“I believe a lot of you are doing well and are better off here. So, the question of facilitating your coming home does not arise.We don’t want you to come back home and be unemployed. Don’t come and add to our problems. If you have something doing here please continue doing it.” Our President asked Nigerians to remain in another country because he doesn't think there is a better outlook for them in Nigeria.
He never gave a hoot that they might become "criminals" if what they are doing cannot sustain them or if the system doesn't accept them.


Fast Forward to Feb 2016 our President was in London and he had an opportunity to be interviewed by the telegraph UK where he made a derogatory statement that painted Nigerians in bad light when he said

"Some Nigerians claim is that life is too difficult back home, but they have also made it difficult for Europeans and Americans to accept them because of the number of Nigerians in prisons all over the world accused of drug trafficking or human trafficking,"
He went further to add:"I don't think Nigerians have anybody to blame. They can remain at home, where their services are required to rebuild the country.
Our President needs to tell us what he wants from us the citizenry.

Does he want us to remain in foreign countries like Benin Republic or Does he want us to come back from Europe and the Americas because he feels we are "criminals" who have nothing to offer?


Is our President now dancing to the tune of the West?


Does our President take time to rehearse and understand his speeches before blurting it out and at the end turn the citizenry to a butt of joke?

Has any President ever vilified its citizens outside the shores of its countriy?

Yea.
He told one set to stay where they are and then the other set to come back home. What did you get from the writeup?

Because in essence the whole idea is paraphrased as:
If you travel to sea or air we need you back home, but if you went by bus then sorry, better stay there. grin
