Mr. Jonathan’s failing went beyond a
lack of charisma; there was an
intellectual incuriosity that belied his
possession of a Ph.D. and manifested
in cringe-inducing performances in
interviews and diplomatic
engagements. At home, the press
tagged him “clueless.” Those
sentiments filtered abroad speedily. In
2012, The Financial Times likened him
to Chauncey Gardiner, the misheard
name of a buffoonish character in the
1979 film “Being There”; earlier this
year, The Economist summed him up
as “an utter failure.”

It is now up to Mr. Buhari to rebuild the relationship. When he was the military head of state in the 1980s, Nigerian-American relations were at a nadir, largely because of Nigeria’s disgust at Mr. Reagan’s “constructive engagement” with apartheid South Africa — and his lack of engagement with most of the rest of the continent. In the discussions this week, Mr. Buhari and his team must project a confident stance, one that does not reinforce the donor-beggar default for relations between the United States and many African countries. Nigeria is too important a country to cast itself in that demeaning mold. Unfortunately, Nigeria’s last two presidents — Mr. Yar’Adua and Mr. Jonathan — were guilty in that regard, turning out to be leaders for whom the international community had little regard. When Mr. Yar’Adua visited in 2007, he told Mr. Bush — to the embarrassment of many Nigerians —
that he felt “highly honored and privileged to be here and have the opportunity to share these few moments with you.”

This is a reminder for all the fans of our new found partnership with Obama's America
Obama's greatest hits
* The stimulus didn't stimulate
Obama was elected in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis and his first big act in office was to sign a gargantuan package of stimulus spending financed entirely with debt that was supposed to jump start the economy. After congress voted it into law, the money which was meant for shovel ready projects failed to yield fruit
* Obamacare brouhaha
When obama care was passed people were assured it would provide insurance for 32 million people who didn't have coverage. Years on it has covered far fewer people than expected, a poor number between 10% and 20% of what was promised
* Lack of a realistic immigration policy
He failed to draft a realistic immigration plan and only ended up annoying the right, left and centre
* The fall of the Iraq quest
He was so determined to shore up Goodwill he prematurely withdrew their forces, and completely ignored the terrorist threat which was emerging. The price of that mistake was the establishment of ISIS
* The joke of the Arab spring
After the Arab toppling of long time dictators, Obama refused to act fast and stagnated on Egypt with the result of everyone in Egypt now hating him and the military dictator now aligning with Russia in a show of insult to America
* He has made America irrelevant
Due to his lethargic and indecisive nature he has thrown the global respect for America out of the window
Let's not forget the Benghazi issue, the downplaying of Boko Haram, the Russia/ Ukraine issue, the Syrian/US congress- US executive standoff and also the historical congress lockdown . Its quite obvious that both Obama and Buhari have a lot in common and so this is a marriage made in heaven. Happy married life to the couple
