for wetin, carry your problem-head go washington, go-wash-him-thing.

If he doesn't want to visit, then he doesn't want to visit. Ghana is already darling of West Africa. Nigeria is just seen as a beast. Ghana = Beauty - Nigeria = Beast. . . Beauty & the Beast

I hope he doesn't get kidnapped if he actually visit

Wasn't there already news of him 'visiting' earlier this year? And when he was first inaugurated as well? I'm American, but I don't see what's so special about Obama visiting Nigeria. I bet he'd just talk about what all world leaders say "Nigeria needs to get its house in order, and ensure that come 2011 that free and fair elections are held." Don't you get tired of hearing that? 

Make e come yap and expose their yancht? Anyway he's welcome.

What is the essence of this thread?
