being a leader comes with a lot of responsibility, I wonder the stupid parents that would stand before a Judge to testify against their Only Son..Mr. Buhari Have shown us all that He really doesn't understand Leadership!

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.

Mr. President was quite blunty. I find his statement very patriotic and, it shows that he truly believe in one Nigeria.

it true that; Not all Nigerians are drug dealers, kidnappers or swindlers.
Mr. president could have been more specific but, that would make him a bigot, instead he said "Nigerians".

As proudly a 95% , I agree that I'm a criminal (of course figuratively ), and will advise us that; we can't deny our problems or wish them away because, they will never leave, they will keep on haunting us. We have to own them first, put all hands on deck and solve them collectively.


Mungu ibariki Afrika.
Mangu ibariki Nigeria .

Ben Bruce will never be president of Nigeria. Forget it.

Anger!

If you still believe that Nigeria as presently structured and governed can ever be built to prosper, you are a mugu.

Buhari will never agree that Nigeria is restructured because the present skewed political structure favours only his north.

Northern politicians with little effort can always get a few more states from the south to win the presidency and continue to hold Nigeria on the neck.

Naturalle:

just out of curiosity, people seeking Asylum using boko haram... what on earth happened to the East, West & Southern Nigeria, are they not humans? Abi do these areas deport northerners? If you will even go and seek Asylum and integrate nicely, it will be okay, but some people will go and seek asylum and become criminals terrorizing the citizenry of the people that embraced and are feeding you.

Abeg, in this matter, PMB just spoke the truth.

What he did is professionally wrong.

Its not about saying the truth.

Its like broadcasting to people that your wife is a nasty cook. That should strictly be between you and your wife.

padreich:
Shut up! You bigot; I guess u don't know what deplomacy means.

You just called someone a bigot while lecturing him about diplomacy.
and that makes you a diplomat.

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..

@Statement in bold;
Guy, are you sure you're okay? Are you writing with your senses?

abbey621:
Can someone show me exactly where the president called all Nigerians criminals? Are we so filled up with sentiments in this country that we can't separate the truth from plain manipulation! What the president was trying to say is simple. Nigerians should stop seeking asylum abroad because such privileges have been abused by their countrymen in the past due to drug trafficking and other criminal acts. Is this far from the truth? Especially in UK, Nigerians are increasingly filling up the prison system, I dare anybody to bring up facts that are contrarian! Perhaps we feel it's better to be politically correct than being honest but we all know with PMB he speaks from the heart.

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.

luvinhubby:


It is not about wailers, who will ever see you differently if your father calls you a rogue in front of your teacher & classmates ?

There are millions of sincere hardworking Nigerians abroad & a minute percentage of criminals like every other country on this earth, why should our president call us 'criminals' to a foreign press when other leaders do not do that to their nationals that also have criminals among them ?
Do you know the extent of dent it has done to other hardworking Nigerians & that will only result in employers off labour not willing to hire Nigerians because our leader called us criminals.

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

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

So why say God bless Nigeria. Does God bless criminals.

I respectfully disagree! Nigeria is not the United States of America or the United Kingdom, we are still a developing country and need to stop pretending otherwise. The economy is in shambles and almost every sector is in decline, this is mostly due to corruption and partly due to our best human resources leaving the country for greener pastures. The president was responding to a specific question and gave the right answer! This is not the time to be mixing words trying to be politically correct. If live is hard abroad come back home and develop your fatherland, the answer is blunt but it is absolutely right!

#IAmNotACriminal #NigeriansAreNotCriminals
#TakeAwayTheDullard

Remember he is our president and there is nothing we can do about it. Am sincerely saying sorry and let us think of how to make ourselves happy. He will still say it no matter your ov burst, this not his first time of disgracing Nigerians. Do not let us think of his statements, we are Nigerians, aren't we? Lets be happy to avoid stress.

Elosky20:
am yet to see where he called all nigerians abroad criminals.
people trying to make a mountain from a mole hill.

The man even said the truth......I'm beginning to like this Man o....hmmmm

chriskosherbal:
I am not a criminal,scamer, drug addict or a 419er, I am a honest and sincere Nigerian. And am proud to be a Nigerian.

Sadly that's not the image those abroad portray

We must collectively make a concerted effort to improve our image in the international community! Its disheartening that we are seen as drug pushers, fraudsters, scammers etc

Mr man stop embarrassing your parents. It is idiotic for a president to call his people criminals. Nigerians are not as criminally minded as Italians, Chinese, Indians, Lebanese and so many others.

Indeed , you can't teach tact. PMB is so uncouth. He's our chief diplomat, therefore he ought to project our image, not destroy it. So far, people like you are the reasons PMB may not succeed. Tell the man the truth when he's wrong.

Stop blind followership and stop diverting attention to ipob and wailers whenever PMB is criticized. He's human and fallible. We all are.

If Nigerians are criminals, so is he. After all, he still hasn't addressed the issues of the 53 suitcases, $2.8 billion, and of course the certificate. Quit pretending like he's a monk. He's Nigerian and also a criminal.

Mamatee07:
so who are the criminals everyone claims not to be criminals yet Nigerians are getting caught for different crimes all over the world everyday. Instead of getting hurt and making noise on twitter about getting called criminals how about we put that energy into changing our Image all over the world. Buhari simply said what majority of the world thinks of us

Were you born when buhari was caught with 2. 8B in Midland bank in UK?! Were you born when his aid carried 28 suitcases stuffed with dollars through the airport? Do you remember when he said abacha never touched Nigeria's kobo? Were you in Nigeria when governors who emptied their state treasuries pumped those monies into babu's election & today can't pay staff salaries? Do you know that the only political criminals are those outside of apc? Buhari & the zombies are the criminals not Nigerians.
