Good news to have oyibo in our land. But as long as America is involved, It will always involve a shady mission. Especially after calling Nigeria a sh*t hole country.

I fear another armed group may rise after the visit.

Damage control by the Trump administration after calling African countries a shit hole. I wish president Buhari can shun the Americans and look towards China and Russia for trade and support. America under trump has been reduced to bigotry and rascality. Only the unpatriotic igbos agree with Trump that our dear country is a shit hole.

Discuss terrorism with a Terrorist

He's highly welcome



Friendly advice to him, stay clear off animals (esp. snakes and monkeys)

Good news.

Buhari well done. Carrygo till 2023 insha Allah.

Hoping there wont be last minute change of mind due to insecurity in Nigeria

Lol, only if you know how desperate Buhari is for the visit, as it would give a fillip to his failing government. We're literally gonna give Tillerson a state banquet. And pls out it with the damage control BS, a beggar has not much of a choice.

Its also sad that on the front burner of discussions would be terrorism ish. Nigeria is in the same bracket with countries like Somalia, Sudan, and Syria, when we should be discussing tech and economic deals

Rex Tillerson coming over to Protect his interests in Exxon mobil. Of course our Current Nigerian Leaders will continue to indulge him, As long as its also in their own interests, They don't mind... at the end of the day, The interests of the people Comes Last.
