8 Years Of Obama & The Dashed Hope Of Nigeria by richdaddy75: 9:51am On Jan 21, 2017
When Former President of America, Barack Obama ascended the seat of power as the first black man to rule America, there were all insinuations that his influence as black man and policies will contributorily enhance transformations in African economy.

As giant of Africa, Nigerians were so optimistic that Obama administration will aid Nigeria out of its trying time, to curb terrorism, corruption and improve economy. But unfortunately, Nigeria remained an enemy in Obama's google.

8 years of Obama, what did Nigeria benefit? Obama visited African countries: Senegal, South Africa, Tanzania and many more. Nigeria, which was originally thought to be on the agenda, was left out of the itinerary.

Initially, it was insinuated that Obama was not in good term with Jonathan's administration due to the level of corruption perpetrated during his reign.

The Obama administration believes that President Muhammadu Buhari can become an ally in cracking down terrorism and corruption.

After 2015 elections, Buhari enjoys the most respected status internationally of any of his predecessors. Buhari has said he desires a closer relationship with the United States and other Western partners as he seeks to improve Nigeria's position in the global community.

Now Obamania is over, the trending now is Donaldic!

Should Nigeria repose confidence in this newly elected US President, Donald Trump?

It's my opinion that Nigeria should be wise to strengthen its relationship with the United States, because ultimately the solutions to the country's problems -- including terrorism and economy -- will have to be solved internally.

"The solution can't come from Obama or Donald Trump. It has to be a Nigerian solution. "There's not much France can do or the U.S. can do in order to provide a national consciousness, economic balance and unity in Nigeria. It lies within you and me."

Running after US for betterment of Nigeria is tantamount to chasing shadow

Reposing confidence in another nation for your economic liberation is tantamount to slavery mentality. Truly Nigeria got independence but still enclave with parasitic nature
