They expected Obama to either wear uniform and come and personally fight the insurgency or send down American troops to come and waste their precious time in borno.

The same folks will be going around blaming Jonathan government for not uprooting book haram

We are an independent country. We don't need another country's support. Last time I checked, there are two other world powers(Russia and China). Why didn't you buy weapons and ask for their military support?

Summary:


1. Garba Sheu granted an interview at Washington DC.

2. Buhari's visit is symbolic.

3. Buhari is the first African President to meet Trump. No matter how Nigerian's see their own country (I assume no matter the disapproval of poor leadership), meeting Trump first before others in Africa is the bomb

4. Trump has opened doors of support unlike Obama (blame every body that can be blamed on planet earth and beyond)

5. Discussions shall hold with Trump on ending Boko Haram menace.

6. Mr Adewoye and his crew held placards in support of Buhari.

7. To Sheu the gesture shows the deep appreciation of Nigerians seemingly living abroad toward Buhari's work in Nigeria (this is the real game over).

Without mincing words, this interview obviously gives an insight to the teams supposed historic visit. In my opinion, an a la carte of ineptitude. These dudes lack every understanding of the job at hand.

An opportunity to represent Nigeria and Africa at a meeting with a strategic Partner like USA (let's pretend Trump holds the ace), should have a more strategic agenda. My expectations will be discussions on:

- Sustainable Development Goals
- Abating Hunger
- Global Warming
- Improving Trade
- Enhancing and Providing Health Care
- Support for establishment of Research and Development Centers
- Renewable and Clean Sources of Energy in Africa
- Abating the growing menace of Communal clashes
- Investment and assistance in developing Africa's emerging Technology Hub
- State of Nigerians and African migrants in the USA
- Abating the unending migration of Africans through unsuitable means to Europe
- Assistance in identifying and returning laundered loots and proceeds of corruption by Public Officials.
- Collaboration in changing and enhancing the Education outlook in Africa and upgrade to global standards
- Training of the Military and Law Enforcement Agencies
Etc!

Quite a long way to go!

Obama played deaf ears to most Nigerian pleas because of our resistance against some of the policies and So called rights they want to impose on us.

Its quite simple.

Trump is known to bash Obama and try to one up his policies and actions - remember the inauguration crowd debacle?

By naming Obama, Buhari’s team is trying to win over Trump - maybe get him to forgive them over the Jerusalem vote even - and get something good out of the meeting. It’s politics the way Trump likes it.

Whether its true or not, Buhari is still trying to punish Dasuki for stealing the arms fund so there is every incentive for the US to have stayed away from such a corrupt government - maybe Buhari has forgotten that plot and his campaign claims.

At the end of the day, the hope is that both parties are voted out soon enough.

who told you Nigeria need forgiveness for a national interest decision.so we should side one religion against another abi ??

Not at all. Hence I cited we assume he holds the ace. The visit in my understanding is to jointly hold serious discussions relating to both countries, not necessarily solve all problems.

There so many times Obama took Nigeria for granted.

Imagine he NEVER visited the most populous Black Nation on earth but visited other African countries.

I pray Trump visits Nigeria; Obama was misinformed about Nigeria.

This alone, makes me dislike him.

lexy2014:
there's no country that develops or solves its internal problems when d president of another country "holds d ace". That's slavery mentality. D development of any country can only come from within not from outside it and Not by travelling round and visiting "almighty" trump&America
