Barrister Aisha Kalil Wakkil is a lawyer and
human rights activist with the National
Human Rights Commission. The senior legal
officer has, for over five years, been into
peacemaking between the Jama’atu Ahlil
Sunnah (Boko Haram) and the federal
government.




In this exclusive interview with
the Daily Trust on Sunday, Barr Wakkil, who
claims to be a very close confidant of Boko
Haram foot soldiers, spoke on several issues.




How did your mediation initiative between
the federal government and Boko Haram
start?




Nobody asked me to do it. Such a quality is
in my nature because I love peace so much.
Where I come from in the Southeast, we live
in a very peaceful atmosphere, especially in
my family. We mediate a lot where there is
any problem. Now that I am a Muslim and
Islam is a very peaceful religion, with all its
teachings, this Boko Haram development
doesn’t really make sense to me. Why should
such a wonderful religion experience this
kind of a thing? But I also know that
anywhere there is smoke, there must be
fire. Something must have happened for
these children to start behaving like this.




Do you really know them well?




Yes, they were children I knew a long time
ago. The first time I visited Maiduguri
around 1989 was when some of them were
circumcised. I witnessed the circumcision.
That is to tell you how young some of them
were - and still are. I witnessed the growth
of most of them. They were very wonderful
children. As time went on, most of them
began living in my house because my house
is always open to all the children in that
area. That was how I got to know most of
them. Then they were not Boko Haram and
Jama’atu ah-lil Sunnah members.




So at what stage did they become
extremists?




It is surprising how these children turned
out to be what they are now. I keep on
saying there is certainly no smoke without
fire. Something must have triggered those
innocent-looking children to grow up
behaving the way they are behaving now.
You needed to see them growing up. These
were children that would come to my house,
play around and help in watering my ugwu
plant. We would cook together and they
would help clean my kitchen, my room and
the entire house. Sometimes when I start
talking about them, I shed tears. Those
children prayed, and still pray a lot. I have
a mosque in the house and they would
always go in and pray. Anytime I went to
Shehuri north, whatever was in my handbag
would not follow me back because they
would finish it there. They all called me
Mama.




At what stage did you start noticing
changes in their character?




It all started with a rumour. I began
observing they would go out in the morning
and return in the evening. During the
fasting period, they would not return until
around 11 or 12 midnight. I also remember
they would go to Muhammad Yusuf’s
lectures to listen to his preaching.
Sometimes, they would come back to tell me,
“Mama, see what we read today”, and I
would say, “thank God, this Muhammad
Yusuf is really trying o.” I didn’t observe
anything strange about the teaching.
Soon, the children began to be conscious of
themselves. They always wanted to do one
thing or the other to remain busy. It was
then that the rumour started that they were
planning a war. When I heard of it, I went
straight to Muhammad Yusuf because I had
been very close to him. His father-in-law,
Alhaji Baba Fugu was my Islamic spiritual
father and the entire family knew me very
well. When I realized that Muhammad Yusuf
was frequently being arrested, detained and
released, I went to Baba Fugu and asked
him why his son-in-law was always being
detained? But I learnt he was always
preaching things government didn’t like and
insulting them.
One day when he (Muhammad Yusuf)
returned, I went to his house to see him. I
tried to enter the house but was not allowed
in because I had a policeman in the front
seat of my car. It was Shekau who saw the
policeman and refused to allow me to go in
to see Yusuf. I was angry and asked Shekau
whether he didn’t recognize me and didn’t
realise how close I was to Yusuf. I sent a
message to Yusuf that I was angry and
would never come to his house again. When
he got my message, through his father-in-
law, he rushed to my husband’s office and
told him that he heard I was in his place but
his boys refused to allow me in. He explained
I wasn’t allowed in because of the policeman
they saw with me. When my husband told me,
I asked Yusuf to come over. He did and
bowed down saying, “Mama, please forgive
me.” He was a very humble boy. I advised
him that whenever he was preaching he
should avoid insulting government. After
about a year or two, I started hearing the
rumour again that they were planning to
fight. We used to speak on phone most of
the time.




How did you learn of the rumour?




Those boys in my house suddenly
disappeared for about a month; I did not
set my eyes on them. I was tensed up and
started asking people where they were, but
nobody could tell me. Eventually when they
returned, one of them told me he had
something to tell me. He said, “Mama we
went for training.” When I enquired from
him what kind of training that was, he
simply confided they would be fighting a
war. But then, I just laughed it off because
I did not take him serious. Jokingly, I asked
him what he knew about war. But looking so
serious, he replied that, “Mama, I swear, our
guns have already arrived in Maiduguri and
that included AK47s. When I asked him again
what he knew about any AK47, he just told
me it was the gun they would be using to
fight the war. I then asked him where they
trained and he respectfully replied, “Mama,
I will not tell you this one.”
I, thereafter, called Muhammad Yusuf and
told him what I had heard about a war
imminent. He asked who told me but I
replied I wouldn’t tell him and he should
just answer me yes or no whether they were,
indeed, planning to start a war. One good
quality about these boys is that they don’t
lie. Yusuf said, “yes, ma.” When I asked him
why, he said it was because of acts of
maltreatment over the crash helmet against
his followers. He said, “They killed our
people and nobody is doing anything”, and
that government had betrayed them and so
on. I asked him what that betrayal could be
and whether we could address and stop it. It
was getting close to the fasting period. He
folded his hands, bent his neck and kept
mute. That was his nature. He then said,
“Mama, my hands are tight. I am not alone
in this thing. A decision has been taken.
They must fight this war unless you can go
and meet the governor.”
Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to see the
governor until the war started. When I heard
about the fight in Bauchi on a Saturday, I
called Yusuf (which was the last time I
spoke with him) and told him I heard
something was happening in Bauchi. He
admitted it, saying, “yes, we are the one.”
He added the war would engulf everybody
beyond Bauchi. I thought he was joking. I
spoke with his father-in-law on phone that
Saturday night. The following day, our own
started (in Borno state). I tried to reach
him on phone but his line was not going.
On Monday, someone came to tell me that
he saw Muhammad Yusuf at the West-End
area. I rushed there but could not see him.
Two days later, I saw him on television
talking and the next thing I saw him on the
ground. Instantly, I knew there was going to
be a problem. That is where we are now.




Were you still seeing those boys living in
your house after that?




One week to that incident, they disappeared
again. When things cooled down, one of them
rushed in to tell me that “Mama, we fought
a war, we killed this and we killed that.” I
shouted at him that small as he was, he
could go to war? But he replied that was
how Allah wanted it and they did the work
of Allah. He said he had come to tell me he
was going back to the battlefield and he
wouldn’t know if we would be meeting again.
He told me to keep calling his line and
promised to always answer my calls so long
he remained alive.
The boys left and, in a short while, became
commanders in the Boko Haram group. The
whole thing was very funny to me. Suddenly,
they started changing fast; they no longer
looked like those kids I called my children.
The other day one of them came to see me
in my house. When I told him to sit down for
a talk, he curtly responded, “No, ma. As you
are seeing me here, they have given me an
assignment and I have to go and do it.”
When I enquired the manner of the
assignment, he calmly replied it was to kill
someone. There was nothing I could do. I
couldn’t stop them. That situation remains
till today.




Were you at a point scared of any
association with them and thought of
cutting off all ties with them?




I have always held that even if those boys
should turn to snakes, I would remain with
them because I believe they will never harm
me. Anytime any of them comes around,
what he tells me is the story that this one
has died and that one has become this and
that.




When they relocated to the bush, did you
ever go there to see them?




I have been there several times at
different locations to see them. Sometimes,
I will cook for them and take the food
there. Sometimes they will be the ones to
phone me and say, “when next you are
coming buy suya and drugs for us”, and
things like that. At a time majority of them
were dying before they started recruiting
more and more people.




When you go to the bush to see them, where
do you stay?




Whenever I meet them in the bush, we sit
down and talk freely like mother and
children. They will show me different bombs
and ammunitions. I will ask them what they
are doing with those things and will joke
with them it’s themselves they will bomb
with them, not me. They will burst out
laughing, saying “Mama has come again.”
Sometimes I will even stay there overnight.
Their major requirements are food and
drugs. There had been occasions I stayed
three days with them in the bush.




How do you always find your way to
wherever they are?




In most cases, they will be the ones to call
to ask me to bring them food, drugs and/or
money. When I inform them I am on my way
there, they will start directing me, saying
things like, “go out of your house, cross the
road and you will see a car like this, like
that. Open the rear door and sit on the back
seat and bend your head down while in the
car till the journey lasts.”




Do you still know the whereabouts of some
of those boys living in your house then?




Some are dead, some are still in the bush,
while some are in jail.




Have you ever sold them the idea of
dropping their guns and accepting amnesty?




Yes, I have been doing that right from day
one. In the beginning, they were telling me
that, “Mama, we don’t like this thing that is
happening to us. We are sure something is
wrong somewhere. If government can call us
and ask us, we shall tell them everything.
Let government dialogue with us and tell us
how to stop all these things and we will
stop.” But as time went on, they started
talking negative of government. They were
saying government was no more doing this
and that. One of them told me, “Mama, the
ocean we are swimming in is very deep. This
thing has graduated from the Jama’atul
Ahlil Sunnah into something else.” He said
“the big men in Nigeria know what I am
saying,” adding, “such people will not allow
peace to emerge because they have their
interests.”




Weren’t they ever afraid you could betray
them to the authorities?




They know I will never do that. In any case,
whenever we come together to Abuja for
peace talks, we always move so closely until
we return. You need to see us at the airport
as if we are fused together. In case there is
any danger, all of us will go. Anywhere I
take them, we sleep in the same hotel and
eat the same food. They will all converge on
my room to watch television. I will tell them
to look at the good things of life that they
are missing and they will confidently reply,
“Yes, but one day in Allah’s kingdom is
better than all these.”




Have they ever told you if the group is
factionalized, as it seems they are no more
doing things the same way they started?




Yes, the way some of them are doing things
has not been the same way the original
group was doing it. But the original group is
still there. They are still very much around.
Even among them, the original Jama’atu Ahlil
Sunnah is calling the other ones Boko Haram.
They will say they are not Boko Haram, the
other ones are the Boko Haram. I once asked
them the difference between the two
groups. They said the other group has
deviated from the norms. They said
government and politicians are buying them
and using them to kill perceived opponents.
They said there are people doing rituals in
the name of Boko Haram. But they are all
together in the bush. The whole thing is
mixed up now. But once the original group
stops, every other one must stop because
none can stand on its own again. I once
asked them about the frequent spate of
bombings when it was becoming too much.
They said, “Mama, anywhere we bombed, we
issue a statement claiming responsibility.
The ones we did not do, we keep quiet.”




Were the Chibok girls kidnapped by the
original group?




All I know is that the Boko Haram group
kidnapped the Chibok girls.




From your close interaction with these boys,
do you think they will agree to drop their
arms, release every person in their custody
and return to the larger society if
government decides to grant them amnesty?




Let me ask you this question; are they not
human beings? If they are human beings
like you and I, why won’t they accept the
offer of amnesty? This administration is
willing to dialogue with them. I am sure the
president would like to ask them what
happened and I am sure the children will be
willing to say it. I was with them recently
and they were asking me if the society will
be willing to forgive them. I said why not if
they will drop their arms and become good
boys. If Nigeria and Nigerians can
accommodate the OPC in the West, MASSOB
in the East and the Niger Delta militants,
why won’t they accommodate them?




In all your visits to the forest to meet those
boys, have you ever encountered any
difficulty?




Of course, yes, I have encountered many
difficulties. Once when I went out in search
of the girls, there was one particular guy
who nearly kidnapped the group I went with,
but I just played along with him. Once you
put a smile on their faces, your problem is
over. God helped us and we came out of it
successfully.
There was this other one that I do not like
remembering. I was in the bush with them.
They were asking me who to trust and who
not to trust. They were eating the food I
took to them and writing their names in
Arabic inscription on the ground when,
suddenly, one of them stood up and started
insulting me. He was eating the N20,000
suya I bought for them when something
came over him and he started pouring
abuses on me. He said as a lawyer who went
to an English school, I was not supposed to
be where they were. He threatened to shoot
me if I talk again. Others were just eating
their suya when their boss shouted at him to
keep quiet. After some minutes, one of
them stood up and asked him, “Do you know
the person you just insulted? What made
you insult her?” He pulled his trigger and
shot him thrice and his lifeless body fell
down there. I was terrified. None of them
cared about his corpse. They simply
continued eating their suya. That was my
worst moment.
There was another time I was with them in
the bush. I didn’t know that they had some
of their men on the top of the trees we
were sitting under. I just heard someone
shout ‘Allahu Akbar’ from the tree top.
Suddenly, they started firing in that bush
ceaselessly for about an hour. No one was
willing to tell me what was going on.
After the death of Muhammad Yusuf, did
you ever see or meet Shekau in the bush?




No, I never met him.




But you were seeing other commanders in
the bush who you knew during the lifetime
of Muhammad Yusuf…




Yes, I was meeting others and Shekau knew
I was going to the bush to meet some of the
boys.
We understand Shekau is dead…




I am sorry, I won’t answer that question. I
do not want to discuss that issue.




How would you like to describe the new
leadership of the group?




Well, it has been the same thing. They keep
killing. How do you want me to describe
them?




Some people say Muhammad Yusuf was
milder than Shekau because there weren’t
many killings then. Do you agree with that
belief?




Of course, that is true. Muhammad Yusuf
was cool-headed. But you should also know
that they are not responsible for all the
killings. Some of the killings are politically
motivated while others may be for economic
reasons. When finally there is peace and the
boys come into the open, Nigerians will hear
from them. They will tell the world who and
who were sending them to do what.

Did anyone in the house attend?
5,000 tourists, visitors to grace New Yam Festival in Enugu AUGUST 14, 2015 : NAN
No fewer than 5,000 indigenes, tourists and visitors would be expected to attend this year’s one-day new yam festival of Ibagwa-Nike community of Enugu State slated for Sunday, August 16.
Its traditional ruler, Emma Ugwu, told the News Agency of Nigeria on Friday, adding that it would serve as a cultural reunion and the celebration of life for his indigenes. It would also be used to recreate cultural renaissance and foster unity among my people, the traditional ruler said. NAN reports that the event was being organised by the indigenes of Ibagwa-Nike and the National Institute for Cultural Orientation.
He said, “It’s a socio-cultural programme where the community’s sons and daughters, our in-laws, friends, associates, are expected to thank God for the gift of life. “That is why the event will begin with a thanksgiving service at the community’s church.
“Most importantly, the community regards it as a love-feast because then the community will come and pay homage to their king bringing yams.
Ugwu assured his-would be guests and visitors of adequate safety and security before , during and after the festival. Also, Mr Nnaemeka Nwajagu, Enugu State Head of NICO, told NAN that the agency was collaborating with the community so as to showcase its rich cultural heritage to the outside world.

My guy why do you want a company to fund what will yield them very little result compared to the one that would yield them heavy results?
Why can't we see that Nigeria may burn if some people don't watch Messi, CR7, Hazard, Aguero, Neymar, Robben, De Brunye,etc for one good week because some boys playing football at their backyard are using the channel at the moment? See, the people's interest is the key in investment not gun and cutlass, "thou must invest into our crap". Develop the game in Nigeria and you will see US, European countries and other nations will pay to broadcast it live. Do you know that some oyibo people used to love to watch Super Eagles play back in those days? We force them? Instead of building big stadiums and forcing companies to maintain them, let us build big talents like Jay Jay and these oyibo guys will tune all their tvs to Nigeria.com and pay per game!

How many of these European and American countries are broadcasting/watching the south African, Egyptian and Tunisian leagues. Abi those ones haven't developed Enough.

You are right madam...dat so called National Hospital is messd up, d other time they were owing newly employed nurses over 4 months salary, the hospital is jst answering name and if at it was ever delivering smtime ago-it now live on past glory.....my alma-mata (UNTH, Enugu) is delivering much more dan dem...Open heart surgery carried out here n patients recover....to tok of ordinary Uteroscope! Corruption eatin evry corner of dis country...Oluwa deliver us.

UNTH where internship is sold for 200k-220k (plus cutting of salaries after payment). Who knows what Amah has tagged on a slot for residency.
Patient's relatives had to protest to get water for bathing and washing. Abi the one that ward's didn't have electricity for months or CT machine has been down for about 3-4 yrs. Ghost workers and back dated appointment letters for those who could afford the jobs without interview.
In fact everything in UNTH has a price.
All these and more with an increase in the cost of every procedure or process with declining services rendered.
Tell me another story.

dexterinc2003:
very funny write up.i did my internship in national hospital abuja some years back,and i will say this problem can occur due to many reasons.
1.An house officer probably wrote this investigation for her(the rookie didnt know the test was unavailable in the hospital)
2.The cash point guy was stupid enough not to have checked the available tests(an updated list)
3.If you know how national hospital and their politics work enh,in fact ,you will know that patience is the key,everything has to go through paper work,ordinary refund,you must write letter,even medical report,that one might be 2 months.

SOLUTION;Be patient madam,and pray Buhari or the CMD restructures the system soon.
N.B;i doubt if anyone scammed you of 50k(a night of admission in the private wing was 40k,about 3 years ago).

A house officer recommending a procedure of that sort without the knowledge of his superiors?
plus they went ahead to book the procedure. I doubt that.

Funny enough, they still ask for bribe once you require their services

ModiKen:
I would have to disagree with u on Kwankwaso.

He did well for the people of Kano but his statements sell him out as a Northern bigot and you know that would be bad for a fragile country like Nigeria.

Baba Fash, the best option, next Ngige (but I wonder if his people the Igbos would give him a chance)

Your baba fash is the best option....I will like to know your reasons.
You may say he did well for his state just as kwankwaso. Remember he is the only Governor I can remember deported Nigerians within their motherland.

MrsPhyno:
Thank you.

Consciousness? Like in what sense? And I do hear Enugu indigenes just referring to themselves as simply 'Enugu indigines' than like the specific people group. If that makes sense.... Whereas for example the Mbaise people in Imo state or Umahia people. They don't refer to themselves by state (usually). Wonder why...?

Please if you don't mind (last question lol) is Ngwo a place or a people group or both?

I feel Enugu people see themselves as one hence the peace and tranquility in the state both politically and culturally. The division's are basically geographical and probably due to dialect differences.
Discrimination exists but very minimal. So usually there is no need to show superiority by declaring ur group unless when specifically asked.
Ngwo is both, located around the Ugwu onyeama/Ninth mile axis and consists of towns who speak a similar igbo dialect.

Afam4eva:
I presume that the major group in Enugi is the Nkanu people which which is where I come from and then the Nsukka people. I think the reason you don't here much about these Enugu groups like you hear about Ngwa, Owerri, Anioma and all is because that consciousness is not really there. The more consciousness, the more likely we will disclaim being Igbo.

I would like to know what really makes nkanu the major group in the Enugu.

PS: Basically Enugu has towns and people who are grouped according to similarities in culture and location resulting in The Udi, Nsukka, Nkanu, Ezeagu, Nkanu, Awgu, Achi etc.
There are also other ethnic groups in Enugu like the Igala people in Uzouwani and I think the Idoma people around Enugu-Benue boundary.
I don't see any of these people as major or minor.

Dr Chilo Offiah, a member of the Enugu State Economic Advisory Council, says the State Government is targeting N7 billion monthly as internally generated revenue. Offiah, who is the Pro-Chancellor, Enugu State University of Science and Technology, said this in an interview in Enugu on Wednesday.

He said the need to increase internally generated revenue base from legitimate means had been made manifest due to the dwindling federal allocation. He said for residents of the state to enjoy good infrastructure, they must partner with the state government. “In Enugu state, people don’t pay tenement rates. You can imagine the number of property in Enugu and most of these buildings are rented.

“The landlords collect tenement rates and put it in their pockets”, he told NAN. Offiah said that such landlords must henceforth pay taxes on their buildings. “We are focused on where we are going and have to capture every building and make sure everybody pays. “That is what gives money to some states for development and we want to make at least N7 billion every month in Enugu state”, he said.

Offiah said people must sit up and pay for what they enjoyed, adding that when they pay tenement rates and taxes, they enjoy good amenities. “We are not telling the people what is illegal, but what they already know and are tactfully avoiding. It’s a question of following your leader and doing what he says.

“Things cannot continue to run the way it is in Enugu state and this does not translate to multiple taxations. “When we access your building, you automatically know how much you are to pay every year. It’s not going to be over bearing,” he said.

Offiah said he was impressed with the caliber of people the governor had assembled to assist to move the state forward.

It will be recalled that Gov. Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi over the weekend inaugurated a 15-member committee to advise his government on ways to shore up the internally generated revenue of the state. www.today.ng/news/08054300-enugu-govt-targets-n7bn-monthly-from-property-rates/

spyder880:
I think this is a good development, there should be accountability at all times. We should just make sure the proceeds remain in the state. We dont want any story of Federal government taking over anything in Enugu.

Of course. But it seems Ugwuwanyi isn't interested in getting the properties seized from chimaroke. I hope he doesn't mess this state up.
I wasn't impressed with his recycling of old non-performing politicians as commissioners. Heard he is still using Chime's chief of staff

Chime’s probe:
EFCC arrests Enugu PDP chairman for alleged money laundering

The probe of the activities of former Enugu State Governor, Sullivan Chime continued on Friday with
the arrest of the current Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, chairman in the State, Ikeje Asogwa, over
allegation of money laundering.
Mrs. Ifeoma Nwobodo, who served as
Chime’s Chief of Staff is also being
detained by the Economic and Financial
Crimes Commission, EFCC, since yesterday.
Asogwa, who served as the Managing
Director of the Enugu State Housing
Corporation, is currently being interrogated
by agents of the anti-graft agency in
Abuja.
The suspect arrived the headquarters of
EFCC in Abuja about10.30am July 31. He was
still being interrogated as of press time.
Impeccable sources at the anti-graft
agency told Vanguard that Asogwa’s
invitation followed the discovery that Enugu
state funds was moved through him
ostensibly for housing development but with
no trace of the houses as the funds are
believed to have been diverted.
His interrogation come a day after Ifeoma
Nwobodo, Chime’s ex- Chief of Staff, was
grilled for alleged money laundering and
misappropriation of funds. She is still in the
custody of the agency.

Its the same thing nationwide. Even when there's glaring evidence sent to EFCC nothing happens. Guess they are overwhelmed. Me thinks EFCC should have 36 strong state offices

You are right. But I still feel that of UNTH has gone to the next level. Everything in the hospital is for sale from promotion to new intakes......to the extent of patients' relatives staging a protest last year. This woman is a saint compared to her colleague over there.
And to think that he has been given another term to loot.

The crop of over corrupt CMDs in the southeast right now dy weak person. May this investigation and probe extend to UNTH ituku ozalla Enugu. The place is currently a mess.

ifeanyi199555:
I hope Ugwuanyi can finish the road development in Enugu urban! Especially in independence layout around vosan, mbaukwu street and complete all adjoining streets at ezillo avenue before he starts to shift attention to rural villages! Even at Republic area!
There are Still a lot of minor streets that need work to give Enugu city the overall garden city feel!

the LGA chairmen should do those ones if they are so important.
Roads that would draw investments or improve our IGR should be priority now.

President Muhammadu
Buhari will not extend his
corruption probe beyond
the administration of
former President Goodluck
Jonathan, the presidency
has said.



Mr. Buhari, who is
currently on official visit to
the United States, has
consistently vowed to
investigate and bring to
book, persons who looted
the country’s funds.
The president said on
Tuesday he will arrest and
prosecute past ministers
and other officials who stole
Nigeria’s oil and diverted
government’s money to
personal accounts.



But the Special Adviser on
Media and Public Affairs to
Mr. Buhari, Femi Adesina,
said the president will limit
his anti-corruption war to
the immediate past
administration in the
country.



He said Mr. Buhari will not
waste time in probing the
administrations of former
President Olusegun
Obasanjo, Abdulsalam
Abubakar, Sani Abacha and
Ibrahim Babangida.
He said even before he was
sworn in to office on May
29, the president had
categorically stated that he
would not extend his
corruption probe beyond
the Jonathan government.



“If you recall, that was
already settled before he
got inaugurated as
president. He has said he
will not waste time digging
into the far past,” Mr.
Adesina said.
“The far past will includes
Obasanjo and others. But
the president has said he
will not waste time to go
that far.”



Before leaving office, Mr. Jonathan had
said any probe by the new government
would be seen as a “witch hunt” if it
fails to go beyond his administration.
Speaking on criticisms over President
Buhari’s decision to travel to the U.S.
with his son, Yusuf, the presidential
spokesperson said Mr. Buhari did not
breach any rule.



He said it was a normal practice for
presidents to travel with members of
their families, citing the example of
American presidents who travel abroad
with their wives and children.
“There is absolutely nothing wrong
with the president travelling with one
of his sons. It is an acceptable and
standard practice. He could go with up
to four members of his family.
“Don’t forget that when former
President Bill Clinton visited Nigeria
while he was in office, he came with
his daughter, Chelsea.



“President Barak Obama travels with
his children and so the President of
Nigeria can travel out with three or
four of his children. Late President
Umaru Yar’Adua used to travel with
two of his sons and one of his
grandchildren,” he said.
Mr. Adesina described the outcome of
the president’s official visit to the US as
“a roaring success on every side.”
“There are good returns. It is an
investment that will yield very
handsome returns.”

Good to see that he's helping the less privilege. Very commendable feat. He should put more effort and resources into helping more people instead of perpetually running to become Lagos state governor every election year.

But buhari should be allowed to run perpetually

spyder880:
Supported. But if he is found innocent, what will be the punishment for the person who sued him, any lawyers in the house?

I feel he has every right to sue for defamation or libel (i'm not a lawyer though)

nkemie:
I don't see no link

it's up there

The sauce, is not credible
