President Muhammadu Buhari has expressed Nigeria’s appreciation to the Republic of Ireland and its people for standing by Nigeria during her difficult moments.

The president, who spoke when he received the outgoing Ambassador of the Republic of Ireland, Mr Sean Hoy, cited Ireland’s support during the Civil War, and the current efforts to rebuild the devastation in the North-Eastern parts of the country.

The Ambassador was on a farewell visit to the State House, Abuja.

The President noted in particular, the work of Irish doctors and priests in their humanitarian support for Nigerian communities at all times.

“Nigeria and the Irish Republic enjoy excellent bilateral relations marked especially by the work of Irish medical teams and missionaries during the civil war, and the ongoing efforts in dealing with the humanitarian situation in the North-East.

“We appreciate what your country is doing for us,’’ he said.

President Buhari also thanked the outgoing ambassador for enhancing the relationship between both countries.

In his remarks, Hoy said he was leaving Nigeria to his next post, Brazil, with mixed feelings considering the enormous goodwill he enjoyed in Nigeria, and the improvements in the relations between the two nations.

He promised the continued assistance of his country to the efforts in rebuilding the North-East, stressing that, “It concerns all of us. We will continue to support you.” (NAN)

We may need your help again.

Lifeless dullard. Couldn't thank ireland for any other good thing except the civil war of the 60s. I really wonder how boring and annoying this null head would be to his wife and kids. Aisha must be suffering suicidal tendencies just for staying around this douchebag.

Lol certain people wont read past headline since they're triggered. Then will proceed to make ignorant comments. Whats wrong with saying thank you in this case?

The only thing that goes through this vegetable's mind is always war. His commentaries of this Nigerian civil war since he came to power are uncountable .

One thing is for sure, the hatred in this man will consume him one day, I can guarantee that.

You are correct. Buhari hates the East and East rightfully hates him back. Why his followers are lamenting about the mutual hate is beyond me.

I read an old newspaper yesterday in which Buharri granted an interview sometime in 2010 or thereabout calling the first coup 'an Igbo tribal coup'. This man is unfit to lead a multi-ethnic country, he is just a glorified tribal village leader.

To kill the Devil... Nottin short than to hurl abuses on this man always..meaning he does notting good..this is not hatred but pure evil

The man is what a human being should not be seriously. He is tribal bigot and hatred runs through his veins as well.

Ireland didn't support Nigeria during the civil war.

What's this man saying?
Does it mean that this man lacks knowledge of history as old as he is or is he becoming senile ?

Buhari and all his personal assistants are disgrace to this country.

Meanwhile, I just noticed that this man has been emphasizing much on Biafra war probably to scare Ipob, but unfortunately for him, Igbos are not moved by such comments.

If 3 solid Years War could not stop Biafran agitation, nothing else on earth can stop it.

Ireland actually never supported any side during the war as they were largely neutral , though they did play significant roles in saving millions of Biafran kids from starving to death by sending lots of relief materials through Caritas into Biafran territories, and also through the massive involvement of their catholic missionaries and priests whose heroic efforts did save lots of lives....so I'm not exactly sure where Buhari got that information about Ireland facilitating the Nigerian genocidal war against Biafra from. But then what more should I expect from an archaic dunce that still thinks Germany is "West Germany".

What's this man saying?

Right, they actually supported Biafra though not militarily but sent tons of relief materials through Sao tome and Gabon to Biafran held territories. Buhari no kukuma get sense so I'll overlook his laughable ignorance.

So Ireland also joined Nigeria in killing 3 million Biafla
This is commendable

So for over 50yrs now, u have nothing else to thank Ireland for except war time 'help' As if the current leaders in Ireland even knows /remembers much about the civil war.. Dundee Emeritus

Yes and Vatican as well. I had to go back and do the research again.
Even Ojukwu visited Ireland in 1995 to show appreciation.
I was surprised when I saw this thread.. why should a Catholic country support Nigeria ?.
Even Ojukwu's cook then were Irish Rev Sisters.

Special mention to CARITAS as well, those relief organizations really took a great deal of risk flying relief materials to Uli even under dangerous conditions and endless nightly raids from the Nigerian MIG fighters... They lost some men as well flying through dangerous corridors, as several of their planes were downed by Federal anti aircraft guns. All of this just to save millions of Biafran kids and women from starving to death... God bless those heroes even to their last generation.

Jubril wants to proof that he still remembers what happened in the 60s. Remove ur cap simple!

Yes, the first coup is an Igbo coup and you people will continue suffering for it till eternity.

Dumb head.
Which Ireland, the Christian country I know or what?


Ireland helped Biafrans by providing certain and basic amenities.


Stupid cow.

Thank you Ireland.

What would have been a terrible humanitarian disaster in eastern Nigeria after Ojukwu fled to comfort was curtailed by your selfless efforts.

Nigerians say thank you.

But we yorubas are the people begging on the street for alms and selling human parts for N1000 ($2.70) just to put few bowls of amala on our table. Where is the suffering of the Ibos that we have been praying to Allah for?

.

With the level of hate and greed in the mind of an average Igbo man, Biafra would have ceased to exist if they had gotten it that time.


Nigeria saved them from self destruction.

Hahaha.... This impostor don dey see double.


You are so ashamed of your tribe that you have to adopt a Yoruba name.

You all need to be pitied I swear.

Hahahaha


When we tell them that Buhari's old age is turning him to a mad man filled with bigotry and vengeance, they think we are haters, but everyday, every hour, every minute and every seconds the senile lanky kunu and fura de Nunu drunkard keep proving us right!

So their effort of 1960s is the only thing you can thank them for after several decades that you had been meeting with their leaders


Kunu mixed with fura de Nunu can turn people's brain sha, no wonder the north remains so backward and in the dark ages still clinging on to barbaric religious doctrines

I am sure Biafran Ogbu na Igwe really destroyed his brains during the civil war at Onitsha, no wonder Osinbajo is always leading him cos he can't see clearly

Jubril no get sense
