Mr Toni Iwobi, of Nigerian origin and domiciled in Italy for 41 years, is the first blackman ever to be elected senator.

On the sidelines of the 73rd United Nations General Assembly in New York, Thursday, he met with President Muhammadu Buhari, along with a high-powered team from the Italian Senate.

"My congratulations to you, and to Italy more," President Buhari told Iwobi, who was elected in March this year, on platform of the far-right League Party. "It shows the advanced respect of Italians for human beings, in spite of colour. It's very impressive."
The team from Italy discussed issues like illegal migration and how it can be curbed through investments in Africa, recharge of the Lake Chad via inter-basin water transfer, among others.
"Africa doesn't need charity, but collaboration to develop," Senator Iwobi declared.

Responding, President Buhari noted that what causes irregular migration from developing to developed countries include lack of security, education, health care, among others, stressing: "Climate change has had negative impact on a big country like Nigeria. That is why our youths often defy the Sahara Desert and the Mediterranean Sea, to try and get to Europe. It is a problem that needs to be solved."
The Italian Senate delegation plans to visit Nigeria soon.

But back home he plays the divisive politics of ethnicity and religion, of "Muslims should vote only candidates that will defend their Islam and sharia"!

Nigerians have such short memory they self inflict generational injuries on themselves by handing their destinies to the wrong persons.

Two things will happen in that meeting.

1. He will transfer some life into Buhari
2. Bubu will infect him with some lifelessness.
3. All of the above.

Even though there's racism and there will always be racism, white people sometimes put that aside and elect people of a different race as long as they think they are the best candidate to do the job. Meanwhile in Nigeria people vote along ethnic lines.

So Buhari is blaming climate change for the migration of Africans to Europe.

Can someone tell this senile man that his failed change agenda is the major cause of the increased desperation to escape the country by any means.
