Well....considering the fact that PMB 1) is the new guy and 2) he has to reach out to the other leaders to build contacts et al.....I would say that such trips are necessary.

In my opinion....any trip out of the country a Nigerian leader takes is necessary.I will be critiquing Buhari on other things....not on the trips. The same went for most of our past leaders.

As for economic development......that takes time. Especially now that oil prices are low...and diversification takes a long time.

Permit me to say that you are not Nigerian. There is no way that a Nigerian would use this much logic to push his case. It is just not possible. Where are you from really? By the way, did you notice how many likes you got from this excellent piece? only one. And that was by me. You are alone my brother, surrounded by a sea of s.tupid people.

dukie25:
Sorry you didn't make any sense.

Actually he did. Let me start first by saying that i do not support Buhari or any other so called leader in Nigeria, past or present. They are all useless. I am speaking based on how the office of the presidency in a normal society should respond to stu.pid remarks like the one fayose is making. Even Obama got some heat because he traveled a lot when he became president. How did he handle it? He ignored everyone and just continued with his tasks. Now no one even talks about it anymore or even remembers how much he traveled. They saw the results.

Pavarottii:
Is buhari a probing agency?
We are not final because we are infallible, rather we infallible because we are final...Supreme Court.

The question is, how do you probe the law? In my primary school days, my Government teacher used to say, "once you take a case to to the Supreme Court and it goes against you, the next person/being to appeal to is God". Case closed.

disappointment comes with failed expectations. I wasn't disappointed nor surprised when I finally confirmed you are one of the numerous shoe-shining slaves from the West. Yohruhbars worshiping and serving the caliphates since 500BC

See where your mindset is even more phucked up. I am not even yoruba. I speak spanish fluently, learnt it last year using rosetta stone, you should try it. Anyway, does the fact that i speak spanish mean i am spanish or live in spain for that matter? The problem with you and a lot of Nigerians is you always use your asss for thinking instead of using your head to think logically. I always get a good laugh when i see most Nigerians attempt at Logic. It's hilarious.

FYI i also speak passable hausa. So i am Hausa too.

Fanirandele:
True, that part seems irresponsible and selfish on his own part.

Not only selfish, but very irresponsible. You got that right.

liefdesverhaal:
I am a regular user of this forum. For the sake of privacy and objectivity... I have to start a new tread.

I need the opinion of mature and especially married people.

I am a man in my middle thirties, Married with 2 kids(One with another woman). I am in a dilemma. I am married to a Woman that have different view of life. We are from different culture and educational background. We see life differently. I am a quite, conservative, loyal, and kind but very principle Man whereas my wife is very open, extrovert, kind, and care free person but She is very very disrespectful and abusive. She abuses even in public without knowing the implication of her actions.

I believe in Family union and the sanctity of Marriage. I believe that a Man is the head of a family and the provider and protector of the family. My wife believe that a Man should be the provider of the family while she takes control of the family.

Perhaps it is too much to describe but how do i make my wife to see life the way I am seeing it? I want a simple, quite, private life that I will love, cherish my wife above any other thing.

I want to go back to school to obtain a degree perhaps Maters degree but my wife just want me to provide for the family without pursuing my dreams or career. She is not interested in anything I want to do as long as it does not affect the family income.

I have thought of leaving her but the idea that I have a child with before with another woman without marriage, then another child with her(Which I love so much) scare the living daylight out of me.

I have tried talking with her about my fears and worries but that seems not to help. I have contracted other people for advice but nothing is helping.

I am scared of starting a new family after 2 kids with two different women. How do I make this woman to see life from my angle(I am willing for concession)?

When I was a child, I planned for a wife that will love and adore me... Support my dreams and take care of the family... But it seems I am having opposite of this right now.

This is a true life story... Please help a brother...

Are you serious? When you go back to further your education, how are you going to sustain your family? Does your spouse have a job? Why are you trying to play on the emotions of others? It seems to me like your wife is the matured one in the household.

thiagocrush:
You are a bastard, infact you and your house hold are criminals since you have accepted buhari's jargon.

Fool who haven't been on an airplane before.

Lol..the usual nairaland. Style. When they are mentality incapable of providing logic, they result to cheap shots.

Onyiridike:
And British citizens are saints?

Why am I in the same country with people like you?

Are you are criminal since your god (Buhari) may soon tag you as one?

It is obvious why you support Buhari. Two of you are very illogical and lack diplomacy.

They are not saints. Let me ask you a question. When you think of Britain what comes to mind? Is it corruption? Jungle justice? Graft? Underdevelopment? And, I am not in the same country with you. God forbid. I rebuke it in Jesus name.

FLYFIRE:
So you have resorted to copying & pasting your responses... please go & sleep... YOU ARE DRUNK. That is the only reason you will be backing a retard dullard like buhari

Yes dude. You wouldn't believe how many idi.ots here who just don't get it. Why waste my superior intellect churning out epic responses. Plus, everything i have to say is in that post. Nice of you to notice though. I didn't think you had the mental capacity. Nicely done. See? A few minutes with me and your perspective is changing. I too much jooo.


You are welcome.

FLYFIRE:
Why are such an IDIOT? Where were you when your god buhar stole & hid 2.8B in Midland bank? Where were you when your god bubu said abacha NEVER touched Nigeria's kobo. May God from today rule your miserable life like the hypocrical fool bubu is ruling Nigeria today... say a BIG amen.

Here's what going to shock you. No single leader in Nigeria, past or present has ever had my support. But in this instance, he has my support. The yoruba's say that "omo buruku ni ojo rere tire". Meaning a useless person, in this case Buhari, can have his good days. Once in a while he does say sensible things. Also, the ability to accept reality will go a long way in making you a more sensible human being. America is considered one of the greatest countries in the world, even with their gun violence and some occasional lapses. It is all about percentages and what the outside world considers normal in America. In Nigeria, the outside world considers the norm to be corruption, a jungle justice driven society, an unethical society, an infrastructurally redundant country. The percentage of abnormality in Nigeria outweighs the normal. And oh, do you know that there are youtube videos on the internet showing Nigerian policemen asking for bribe? You can hide from the truth but the outside world knows what's going on even if you don't. Google is not always your friend.

How does this make sense? The punishment must fit the crime. Apart from a DUI or Reckless driving, it does not make any sense to jail people for traffic offences. The government forgets that anyone can fall victim to a traffic offence. These are people with jobs. What happens when you don't show up to work? you get fired. I had a parking ticket yesterday. I paid the 50 bucks fine today. Case closed. The city get's richer. Nigerians think with their assess

One dude said that Nigerians are honest, hard working people. Really? Then how come the country is a cesspool if the country is overwhelmingly filled with honest people? People just don't get it that the outside world does not care if i am honest, they care that in general, the country is corrupt. There are youtube videos of policemen asking from bribe without shame. Why do people continue to deny the obvious.

FLYFIRE:
Young man, if you are a Ghanaian, start to pray that God will not give you a STU PID president like buhari in your coming elections

Lol. I wish i was born a Ghanaian. Oh how i wish. But, unfortunately i was born a Nigeria. I will live with that stigma till my dying day. I pray that God will replace your brain with a functioning one in the near future for your sake. Say amen.

Onyiridike:
I've seen many people with silly logic and ideology but you have won the crown for the silliest among them.

You are nothing but a modern slave who sees Buhari as a god who is infallible.

Even Buhari's son will admit the fact that his father has committed a taboo with this very statement.

Does it occur to you that there are many good Nigerians who are law-abiding and also doing legitimate business in UK?

Tomorrow, if Buhari wipes out your entire family, don't forget to commend him and sing his praise. Of course, he is your god and cannot make a mistake.

How can a president call his citizens criminals in a foreign land?

Are you sure Buhari is not suffering from brain damage? Hope he is not brain dead?

You can go ahead and defend your god (Buhari) as usual.

Here's what going to shock you. No single leader in Nigeria, past or present has ever had my support. But in this instance, he has my support. The yoruba's say that "omo buruku ni ojo rere tire". Meaning a useless person, in this case Buhari, can have his good days. Once in a while he does say sensible things.

truthbastille:
Your state of mind is sad indeed. Its jus simple logic, u don't spread your dirty linen in public. When a president makes such unguarded statements, he has jus set in motion events that will bring the integrity of sincere business and honest people to question in international market place. Presently, every developing economy is trying to attract foreign investment making use of the available human capital and friendly biz environment.

Even Iran with all their past are making thier country and citizens look attractive in the world market so they can catch up with the super powers. Ever heard Russian president talking negative abt it's citizenry? No matter the crime they always defend thier own. At this rate buhari is going, the locust years of PDP might be the best in the contraption called a country- Nigeria. I hope you receive knowledge for your own sake

The problem with living inside a computer is actually living your experiences. Google can't show or teach you everything. You have to live it to understand it. Lol. Iran is trying to make their country look attractive indeed. A country that has been sanctioned for almost a decade both for nuclear and humanitarian violations and only just got out of it this month because they back pedaled on their nuclear plans. It doesn't matter how attractive you try to make Nigeria if the police are still publicly collecting bribes. You do realize that there are youtube videos showing policemen asking for bribes. You know youtube right? A site that can be accessed not only by Nigerians but every single country in the world. So, you can lie to yourself, but you can't lie to the outside world.

Yeah. Kissed teeth.

And do you know in that same western world when a Ghanaian carry out a scam he is called a Nigerian prince.

Get expose man. I don't formulate things to suit my argument.

I practically do most of my things online even my biz is online. So I know what am saying

And i "practically" live in the western world and i've worked on projects in more than a dozen countries in Europe, so i know first hand what i'm talking about. You are talking like Nigeria is eldorado and and the outside world is making up lies about the country. Are you sure you understand Nigeria at all. Or are you just arguing for the sake of it.

wolu4:
what u r known for Pls not we. If u r a criminal,rapist etc Pls am not . Since ur stupidity Ave block ur eyes from seeing d disasters dat man is creating with is diarrhea mouth.

Like i said; as long as you continue to deny the obvious you will continue to live in perpetual bondage. See this m.oron denying the problems that are starring the country in the face. How can anyone be this dum.b? How is it possible?

truthbastille:
Tempted to call you a F00l...but I will tackle your logic instead. No organization, same goes for country or family will make any progress when the leader ridicules them in public. I hope you will call your children vagabonds and low life's in public so they can tow the part of wisdom hope you understand now.

You are just too stup.id for words. Why would i just go about telling the world that my children are thieves unless i was looking for help from the outside world. You think the outside world does not know how unimaginably corrupt Nigeria is? Do you think Nigeria is an island?

bokohalal:
You know Obahiagbon but he doesn't know you. Why is that? The "gibberish" brought you here to comment. Your envy will not detract any dot from his fame as a WORDSMITH.

Did you just say "envy". If Obahiagbon knew what i did for a living he'd be green with envy. WTF!!! You think because a politician is robbing you blind and he says ridiculous things to make you feel better about it, normal people will be jealous about it? Lol..... I comment about the stupidity of Nigerians because it's funny. It really is.

erico2k2:
It doesn't as a matter of fact they are worse than Nigerians but still u will never hear thier govt badmouthing it's citizens abroad

I don't think you fully understand the perception of the outside world when it comes to Nigeria. Irrespective of if buhari says it or not.

bokohalal:
As if Obahiagbon is aware of your miserable existence to communicate with you

No he's not. But, he's definitely aware of mentally handicapped Nigerians like you who he can dazzle with his gibberish.

bokohalal:
It is called CREATIVITY

Really? Nigerians really love being dazzled even when it makes absolutely no sense. Since when did gibberish become creative?

erico2k2:
What league do you put the chinease then?

In the chinese league. I don't care about the chinese. How does the corruption in china help the image of Nigeria.

vizboy:
So you don't know Ghana is worst in scam and all that that buhari is saying about his own country.

I think you are just creating your own facts to support your argument. In the western world, the "Nigerian prince" is a legend. Don't take my word for it. Just google it.

vizboy:
Be frank with yourself No President goes about badmouthing his or her country.

Even little Ghana that does worst have you ever heard the president speak bad about his country on international stage.

Buhari goofed simple

Ghana does worse in what? Buhari only spoke the truth about we are known for.

vizboy:
And who are the normal people. The people of USa or the is it the UK. How many times have ever seen the president of USA or the PM of UK bad mouthing his citizens on international stage.

So tell me who the norm people are?

Because on a scale of one to ten they are a six. Unlike Nigeria where we haven't even reached one.

vizboy:
So if you have a daughter and you know she has a bad manner will you quarrel her of her bad manners in front of her suitors?

More like a market seller telling his customers what he is selling Is not good. All for him to been seen as someone honest.

Trash

Stop defending something that is not right.

And this is why Nigeria seems to be taking giant leaps backwards. You guys don't do things like norm people do.

thiagocrush:
when you are done writing a long note, i will buy you 60 Leaves Exercise Book to write an essay on how buhari was right calling nigerians criminals. I.diot!!!

As expected. Nothing credible or factual to counter with but with cheap shots. The Nairaland way.

thiagocrush:
it is your mentality that is fu.cked up, No matter how bad your nation is, as a leader do not make statements that make rebranding harder. After the millions spent to rebrand nigeria, just this single statement has destroyed everything.

kindly f.uck up my mention. APC HAG

You are just too s.tupid for words. Your stupidity is legendary. What kind of re branding has Nigeria done. Are the citizens still engaging in jungle justice? Are the police still asking for bribe publicly? Are the politicians still looting at will? Is the country among the dirtiest in the world? Is the crime rate still of the charts. Listen, little kid. Grown ups are engaging in adult conversations here. This is not mills and boom you know. Whoever told you that any kind of re branding was done to Nigeria's image must be shot. Along with you for believing it.

thiagocrush:
You are very dumb

Do you know the atrocities the british colonials committed in africa? have they themselves acknowledged it? have the british prime minister called his people murderers even after supporting nigeria in the biafran war to commit genocide because of oil. You seem not to know what being a president means.

What a re.tarded fellow. And due to the atrocities the British committed in Africa, their country is completely destroyed by corruption and crime. I am sure you can see how underdeveloped Britain is. Do you now see how phucked up your mentality is?
