President Muhammadu Buhari has directed the immediate activation of the Bilateral Air Service Agreement (BASA) signed by Nigeria with the State of Israel in 2013. This is contained in a statement signed by Mr Celestine Ogugua, Head of Media, Nigeria Christian Pilgrim Commission (NCPC) and made available to newsmen on Thursday in Abuja. It stated that the NCPC boss, Mr John- Kennedy Opara, disclosed this at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja , before the departure of Niger, Kaduna and Adamawa States’ pilgrims to the holy land. It stated that Opara commended the President for making it possible for the commission to fly pilgrims directly to Israel. The statement said that the activation of the agreement would make flights from Nigeria to Israel for the intending pilgrims stress-free and reduce the long-hours’ flights for them to the holy land. It said that apart from the spiritual benefits the pilgrims would derive from the exercise, the commission was partnering the Israeli Ministry of Agriculture to train pilgrims. The training would be in skills’ acquisition in agriculture related areas and leadership, it said. It urged the intending pilgrims to pray for the country while in Israel. The statement also said that Gov. Abubakar Bello of Niger had admonished the pilgrims to be good ambassadors of Nigeria and Niger while in the holy land. It stated that Bello cautioned them against defecting in Israel and advised them to pray for the state government.

Buhari has no option than to keep that door of friendship with Israel open. The reason is because he knows that Iran will soon come calling for his atrocity against the shiite moslems in Nigeria, therefore he needs Israel. I believe he must have borrowed cue from his master Saudi Arabia who heavily rely on Us and Israel to be able to withstand the Shiite led Iran in the middle east.

What a magnanimous Baba. Doing all it takes to make a trip to Israel by Nigerian Israelis a lot easier for them.

Meanwhile, why is Baba trying o "Christianise" (or Judise) Nigeria?? Did he seek the approval of iPad before doing this??

A president who is tribalistic and filled with hate is an enemy of the progress of the nation

A president who divided the nation into 95% and 5% is an enemy of the progress of the nation

A president who ignores the killing of the citizens of the nation in agatu because its being perpetuated by his kinsmen is an enemy of the progress of the nation

I could go on and on but I think these points are enough for you to know who the thunder will strike first

The sad thing about narrow mindedness and warped thinking of wailers us that Israel is not even a Christian country. The emotions are so mixed up in these people they don't have an articulate response to the world around them

Little by little, we r getting there. Nice move my president. Haters resort to default
