I read this article and found it a bit petty.

With Nigerian economy experiencing and exiting recession induced by looting of public funds and faced with deteriorated infrastructure to drive the economy as well as declining oil prices to fund the running of the economy adequately, the onus rests on the President Buhari shortly after assuming office in 2015 to design steps to renew the dying infrastructure and diversify the economy away from dependency on oil. Part of plan of action designed was reach out to more advanced economies to help us, which require diplomatic shuttles and bilateral talks at Head of State level rather than ministerial level. It is the person who needs help that visit the people who will help him and not vice versa. Therefore, describing president's diplomatic trips as "pointless" is mischievous and wicked.

Interestingly, if President Buhari had decided to delegate rather than travel to personally attend the numerous international economic fora or visit friendly countries to explore mutual economic interests, many of his critics would have made so much noise about his lack of requisite social and diplomatic skills as president. By the way, President Buhari is not usually lone Head of State at these conferences, which means the President or Prime Ministers of many other countries travel too.

What put Nigeria in its current bad shape economically did not come from presidential diplomatic engagements but from insincere leaderships and selfish politicians and civil servants who stole money meant for critical projects.

The fact is that as the President, Buhari has the responsibility to do what he considered best as far as the constitution allows to strengthen the economy and improve the quality of life of Nigerians in the long term.

Moreover, having experienced and survived a strange ailment that took him away for several months, the scheduled private visit to UK is necessary for his well-being and is undertaken as part of his entitled annual vacation period.

Ironically, although 90% of former members of military ruling councils and their fronts as well as politicians and their cronies who raped Nigeria and squandered the massive wealth made oil boom did not travel much but the money they stole travelled far and wide into their foreign bank accounts.




Ogbeni stop deflecting jare...

It's been four years since he started his tours, by now we ought to see the considerable amount of achievement the trips have brought but so far so good, Nigeria seems to be discovering new lows and yet the man isn't slowing down on all this trips....

Oyinbo man talk say too much of everything no be good thing.... There are some trips he could have sent delegates but no, he has to be there in person...

A number one citizen that spends a better part of his 365 days in a year outside his country, how many other world leaders comes close

His disposition shows he fancies being outside Nigeria than be inside. He is obviously running away from the responsibilities that comes with the office but at the same time wants to enjoy the benefits that comes with the office...

A very prominent trait of a Nigerian politician cum scammers

Let me help people to summarize this post. The op wants the president to travel with commercial flights on private visits.

D discussion isn't about whether d OP is my hero or not. It is about ur response to what d OP said. This what u said:

"OP do you know the law of your country so? Better go and enlighten yourself on the entitlement of the president office".

I was expecting that u will do everyone a favour by shedding some light on d laws of d country and on d entitlements of d president Or are u as unenlightened as d OP on those issues u raised?

When I read some of the criticisms on PMB, I just shake my head in disbelief of how common sense has been eroded.

"Buhari: A Public Servant On A Private Visit With Public Money" is a very dumb thing to say.

Does the OP expect Buhari to call an Uber or Lyft, enter a commercial plane and do the same Uber stuff when he arrives his destination all that by himself with no security or assistants because he has embarked on a private trip. If the President does this and he gets kidnapped, OP will still come back here and say PMB is the most foolish president Nigeria has ever had.

A president is a State man from the day he is declared elected. His private visit or trip is a state private trip. His health is state business. He becomes a symbol of the state and cannot drop it even if the VP is acting president.

Anywhere the president decides to privately visit is still the state responsibility to get him there and back safely. This display of ignorance by the OP and the MOD that pushed it to front page is disgusting.
then the people should be carried along..since he is a public officer then every thing about should be plain bro

Another thread for WAILERS and enemies of Nigeria.

You guys wailed from 2015 to 2019,
Now you are in the 2nd half of your wailing 2019 to 2023.

Happy wailing to y'all!
Una go wail, una neck go long.

Dear darling Daddy, President Muhammadu Buhari,
Keep on doing all the good and positive works you are doing to make our nation work again.

Thanks for rebuilding our dented image by looters, fraudsters and criminals abroad.


Sane Nigerians are with you sir.


Supreme Court Final Judgement hit some enemies of the country that want criminals back in power once again BIGTIME.

We are expecting more of this anguish as days go by.

Children of hate, perdition and frustration,
Wail on,
Carry go.....
Your wailing is our ring tone.


Your love for a leader and the country he's leading should make you criticise him constructively. That shows you know what you are doing. Reasonable supporters are open to criticism. We are aware of some of his good works, however, we are not blind to some irregularities in his administration. I don't know who you are and what you stand for but I want to believe your "passion" for Buhari is not normal. Thanks.


From a concerned Nigerian.....

I call them unnecessary trips, because Buhari and Osinbajo are fond of making trips that can be delegated to some of their team members, making use of commercial airlines, reducing our current worthless cost of governance.


This writer lack sense of who sabotage were. delegated to some of their team members who would be pursuing his hidden agenda. Nigeria is not ready for such with the set of the occupant in the Political office

i actually struggled to see your points. you are just trying to make excuse for the preident.

firstly, why would the presidency needs 10 planes? even the U.S uses one BOEING plane(Air force 1)and 2 other helicopters.

its akin to a man who had a pay cut still maintaining the same fleet of cars he had when things were rosy.

investors don"t need you to tell them to come. they dont need you goint to them cap in hand begging them to come. just make the business environment conducive and they will come.
right now,a lot of american firms are outsourcing some component of their business to india. why? conducive and stable political environment and cheap labour!
Obasanjo did same because we were just coming out from a dictatorship rule and so many countries has cut ties with us as a result of military rule. we were seen as a pariah state, obj went to restablish contact and to assure them things will be done differently,hence the inflow of foreign direct investment and the cancellation of debts.
what has buharis visit brought, vis a vis the cost of his travelling? THE London trip is it alsp a business trip?

lets be sincere to ourselves.
i am not pdp or apc, just a concerned nigerian.

pls dont bother to reply.thanks

Your argument is very puerile.
For one thing, who in the world expects Buhari, whom as we've all seen, can barely speak and articulate meaningful dialogue in English, or could barely understand how the economy works, be the person most suitable to reach out to foreign investors abroad to initiate complex deals.
You and I know that Buhari understands zero of most of the issues discussed in international conferences and business summits that he attends abroad.
Call a spade a spade my friend.
Buhari is semi illiterate ,whose cognitive skills have been made worse by his age and illnesses. His self- confessed Nepotism, weakness and lack of personal integrity and honour renders him a puppet in the hands of his very very corrupt nephews and other relatives in Aso Rock.
Nigeria has irreversably broken down in the past 4 years due to the monumental incompetence.
Buhari is National embarrassment.
Period.

Lesson . Whatever a would be president is criticizing about a present government is exactly what he is hungry for. Buhari cried before he became president not because he missed serving Nigeria and has a d good intension to better the country. He cried because he cannot imagine missing what he is doing now . Travelling.

You guys keep spinning jokes around. Tell me one diplomatic concession he has championed and brought gains back in the last four year cheesy
Buhari is not on vacation. If he were, the constitution mandates him to hand over to his deputy by writing to the national assembly which he has not done. So it's either he's in breach of the constitution or he's not on vacation. Choose one.
