President Bola Tinubu is on a state visit to the UK. Many Nigerian officials like ministers, state governors, heads of departments and agencies and private business people have joined him on the state visit. Many of these people are attending events on the sidelines of the visit and lots of agreements are being signed (some of these people arrived the UK before the president). For example, the minister of education Dr Maruf Tunji Alausa is in the UK to reach agreements with UK education officials. Dr. Tunji Alausa @DrTunjiAlausa I’m in London with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, and we are already making real progress — advancing a major partnership with Coventry University to bring UK degrees to Nigeria.https://x.com/i/status/2034317280931369097 2 Likes

They went there because of the side events. There are so many side events. I created this post yesterday. I've told you that Nigerians always make strange comments when their leaders travel and this time is no exception. I have addressed most of the strange comments, but this time I'm going to address something that I have rarely written about. Delegations I noticed the composition of the US president's entourage when he travelled in the 1980s. There were usually businessmen in his delegations and they usually struck deals with their hosts. I wondered why Nigerian presidents didn't do the same thing. President Ibrahim Babangida made me happy in the early 1990s. He travelled somewhere and took people like Chiefs Gabriel Igbinedion and Sonny Odogwu with him. I was happy. You see, the private sector is the engine of the economy and it is the private sector that grows the economy, not the government. I wanted Nigerian businessmen and companies to go out and conquer the world. Let's jump forward a few decades to another time that I was happy. President Goodluck Jonathan travelled to Kenya sometime around 2014 and his visit shook Africa. There were reports that Africa's richest men had descended on Nairobi, some reports were about the number of private jets that flew to Nairobi and the Kenyan finance minister also spoke about it. And over time I realised that it's not just the private sector, but the president also needs to go with heads of ministries, departments and agencies and also with state governors. We have seen the impact of such trips in recent years. Trips to China by President Muhammadu Buhari gave us the Lagos-Ibadan Rail Line, the Railway University, the completion of the Warri-Itakpe Line, etc. He took the minister of transport with him. Trips to the the Middle East (especially the UAE) by President Tinubu led to construction of free estates for victims of Boko Haram attacks and to programmes to render assistance to the victims. So President Tinubu has travelled to the UK and in his delegation are state governors, ministers, business executives, etc. Already funny Nigerians are saying that these people only went to the UK to "greet" President Tinubu. They don't know what they are talking about. There are very many events that are happening on the sidelines of the visit and they require the presence of these people (people are talking about Sanwo-Olu and General Musa, but a lot of these investments will be done in Lagos and of course Nigeria is in talks with the UK about training and equipment for our troops). I would have created a mega thread about these events if I could still post as many pictures as I wanted. 13 Likes |

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yaSeB3BW54w The King and Queen have arrived, waiting for the President and First Lady. The 41 gun salutes have started. The two 2002 Bentley State Limousines brought the guests. Prince William and President Tinubu were in one car and Princess Catherine and Mrs Tinubu were in the other. The Household Calvary rendered the royal salute (Nigeria We Hail Thee). The carriage is here. The procession is about to start. The general officer commanding the Household Division had to help the President and the King down the stairs. The members of the Nigerian delegation are being shown their carriages. They are using closed carriages (Gowon, Shagari and Babangida used open top carriages). The foot guards are waiting in the courtyard of Windsor Castle. As always happens, Nigerians have organised and gone to line the route. 🤣 I remember that thread in which some Nairalanders were complaining because they played the Star Spangled Banner before Arise O Compatriots. They said it was a disgrace. The anthem of the guest is always played before the anthem of the host. The guards are playing Nigeria We Hail Thee before God Save The King. I posted a video of a sniper on the roof of a building along the route of the royal procession, but the bot banned me. 23 Likes 1 Share
