potbelly:
His presence or absence makes no difference...

I am not a Fan of Buhari or most of his policies, but I commend him for his ability to put us on the map globally.

While most of us may consider his frequent expeditions as a waste of tax payers money and time, its also generates a flattering value to Nigeria as a country.

See, for the first time in a long while, we have a president who has trekked the world to showcase Nigeria and consult and fight for our rights to be regarded as equals with world leaders. You may not see it now, but the next president will benefit tremendously from this doorways Buhari has opened.


You may not believe it, but his ability to [b]demand [/b]an audience with different state actors on the global stage will help Nigerians in our gradual transition into becoming the country we all wish for is to be and give us the respect we all cry for.

By having him deal with the world on behalf of our country (even though it's surely not a big deal) will gradually and positively alter various governments view and approach regarding our country.

Its a long road to redemption and not everyone may understand his actions because we don't really always know the full story, but in the years to come, we may look back and be grateful to his little efforts. OR NOT. Who knows.
