How many Soldiers, civil defence, and Police escorted him?9

unclenna:
Take him to Orlu or Okigwe. In that same Imo state.

All our executives No. 1 priority should be building a good and sustainable security architecture (backed with technology and AI) to safe guard citizens.

Both cities are perfectly safe and bustling. When last did you visit the zones?

PFN prayers have been answered. We called heaven, and both the politically manufactured crises and the criminal resurgence are defeated.

SpaceX:
Take him to sokoto and let him move around without security

Bro you are even going far. Tell that man to move from owerri to okigwe, even with full escort make we confirm something. Nonsense

Britain....

They have come again!

Come again for what? To "steal" your oil? Hijack your lithium or re-colonise you? The way most of you talk as if you are still 'helpless' slaves of the UK reveals the mentality of a people not ready to shape and take charge of their own success and would rather continue talking as if some master is preventing their freedom and development.


Hope you know Singapore, one of the world's greatest example of stunning and innovative development, is a former colony of the UK same as Nigeria? Why is their fate today very different to that of Nigeria?

A senior anti-corruption adviser to Nigerian president Muhammadu Buhari today issued a stinging rebuke to Boris Johnson’s claim that Britain is “not remotely a corrupt country” – saying the UK is in fact a major enabler of looted funds from his own country.

Professor Sadiq Isah Radda, who is the executive secretary of the Presidential Advisory Committee Against Corruption in Nigeria, told the British Prime Minister that London was actually “the most notorious safe haven for looted funds in the world today”.

He said “actions speak louder than words and talk is cheap” and challenged the PM to deliver a long-promised law that would help stem the flow of dirty money into UK property.
Johnson claimed at the COP 26 climate change summit in Glasgow yesterday that Britain was not corrupt as he struggled to fend off questions about sleaze among his own Tory MPs.

The prime minister’s words have created a debate about forms of corruption in the UK and how other countries view Britain.

Speaking to Finance Uncovered, Professor Radda said: “I believe that the UK under Mr Boris can do better by matching words with concrete actions. He should know that our country is unstable due to corruption and the UK is a tangential enabler.”
In 2016, Johnson’s predecessor David Cameron famously stoked a war of words with President Buhari when he labelled Nigeria “fantastically corrupt”, but Professor Radda said that was a case of the “pot calling the kettle black”.

He said his country was suffering “monumental damage” from corruption, adding: “There are no thieves without receivers. Without safe havens for looted funds, Nigeria and Africa will not be this corrupt.

“So, for the West to have a moral voice of calling Nigeria or Africa as corrupt, they must shun looted funds by closing safe havens and returning all looted funds to victim countries. They have a lot to learn from Switzerland.”

The Nigerian presidential adviser drew attention to the failure of Johnson’s government to pass crucial transparency legislation promised by Cameron in 2016 which would unmask the true owners of UK properties bought using secretive offshore companies.

A draft bill that proposed creating a special register containing the names of the ultimate owners was introduced in 2018.

The Registration of Overseas Entities Bill would require the beneficial owner of a property-owning offshore company to be registered with Companies House, the UK’s business registry.

It was hailed by the government as a “major step forward in tackling dirty money and safeguarding the reputation of the UK’s business environment”.

But it has not progressed through parliament and instead Johnson has prioritised other measures, such as the introduction of eight freeports, which experts say could increase the flow of dark money to the United Kingdom

SpaceX:

Don't mind the hypocrite he can't even live in states like borno or benue.

SpaceX:

If him go Sokoto you go ask him to go to Sambisa... Obidients/IPOBs always looking for bad news to feel good.

Of course He was paid sumptuously to appear in that conference and was provided heavy security from the air-port to the venue, where He was still being surrounded by heavily armed, gun throttling military and mobile policemen. What else do you expect him to say?

SmartPolician:
Imo State governors know how to bring big names to the state. At the end of their tenure, they don't leave any meaningful projects behind.

Hope Uzodinma wasted an entire tenure living in Abuja. 2 years to end of 8 years, he wakes up from his slumber and started a project marathon.

This was how Rochas kept inviting big names, including President Zuma of South Africa. He would litter the state with inferior projects, most of which have collapsed now.

The supreme court governor really loves wasting imo money on jamborees state governors that are really working don't even make too much noise like this. I even wonder the venue he is using to host all these big big men the imo conference centre he and tinibu commissioned few months has collapsed after a heavy downpour.

He feels perfectly safe while hypocrite amupitan is not?

WizardOfNG:
Johnson isn't a typical politician. He is a maverick with a touch of eccentricity.

This is why he departs from what most leaders would do to declare he feels safe in Nigeria. Even if he knows parts of Nigeria he visits aren't entirely safe he'd still be complementary.

It's his way of encouraging Nigerians to feel positive about themselves and nation whereas Trump, for example, would call us "shithole nation".

Isn't it time for you to drop your wizard moniker and replace it with something more appropriate

Putin views, queen stories and a boss’s birthday bash: Boris Johnson’s £5m worth of paid speeches

Leaked files show former PM made 34 paid appearances in less than two years and reveal details of his disclosures

Boris Johnson earned more than £5m from less than two years of paid speeches after standing down as prime minister, leaked files suggest.

Transcripts and itineraries demonstrate the globe-trotting nature of the former prime minister’s new life as a public speaker. He made 34 paid appearances between leaving office in September 2022 and May 2024, according to a file in the leak.

He spoke at a conference on leadership in Delhi, a blockchain symposium in Singapore, in a public lecture series in Lagos and at a summit on green hydrogen in Abu Dhabi. Each earned Johnson $350,000 (£259,000).

Some of the speeches were delivered in public or have previously been reported on. Others, such as the former prime minister’s bizarre turn as the headline act at the 50th birthday party of a German pharmaceutical company boss, have not.

He's safe because he has security details.

The 2018 Rating by Transparency International placed Nigeria at 148th position out of 180 countries. Nigeria was improving over the years under the previous government, until Buhari got elected as president, things became worse.

There is a difference between fact and fiction. We need to face facts, Buhari is worse than GEJ when it comes to fighting corruption, at least that’s what the facts prove.

Most of us believed there was corruption under Goodluck Jonathan’s Government. I agree with those who did, there was corruption, but not as bad as it is today under Mohammadu Buhari.

In 2012, Nigeria was placed at 139th position, In 2014, Nigeria gained 3 steps and was placed at 136th position. Under Buhari, Nigeria has lost many positions down to 148th.

There’s no further proof needed that corruption has worsened under Buhari’s government compared to previous years.

PANDORA PAPERS: Buhari visited Tinubu in corruption-tainted London villa acquired by Oyetola

Governor Oyetola, a relative of Mr Tinubu, may have sabotaged his own country by buying the exotic property as Nigeria made to seize it.

ByNicholas IbekweandTaiwo-Hassan Adebayo October 7, 2021 in Headline Stories, Pandora Papers Reading Time: 8 mins read

It was a meeting of two of Nigeria’s most influential politicians in London – President Muhammadu Buhari was visiting political kingmaker and senior member of his ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu.

In July, the presidency announced that Mr Buhari was heading to London for an education summit. The office also added that the president would also see his doctors for “medical check-up”.

Coincidentally, Mr Tinubu, who had travelled to London earlier, was also receiving treatment for an undisclosed ailment in the British capital. So, a perfect setting for both men to meet was created.

Pure stunt...............

These UK Prime ministers, whenever they become irrelevant and thrown out of office, they start visiting Nigeria to become lobbyists.

Look at Tony Blair and his dealings, man calls himself a 'lobbyist'. He is always landing like a vulture in Nigeria everytime a new president is elected to keep the oil flowing into his account.

Boris Johnson is a closer racist, do your research online and make your findings.

This man gave the tacit approval and directive that got Kenya working with Buhari, under MI5 to kidnap Nnamdi Kanu? What is he doing in Igboland or he came to celebrate with Hope Uzodinjo the evil conviction of Nnamdi Kanu.

ImIfeyinwaWj:
Boris Johnson should be commended for making the trip to Nigeria despite the security challenges. His presence in Imo State also underscores the growing confidence in the state and the country at large.

He travelled by air with lots of security men.

Let him take a bus from Owerri to Abuja..
Let’s see how secured he’d be.

SpaceX:
Take him to sokoto and let him move around without security

What happens in Sokoto is not a true representation of the whole country

Yeah yeah he is perfectly telling the truth, because he was in a convoy having 60 military men well armed and he is also well known personality anything that happened to him, Nigeria would be in trouble. Please sir can you come again for just a tourist to sokoto, kogi please

OLAADEGBU:
Johnson, who delivered the keynote address at the Imo State Economic Summit 2025 in Owerri, said he was not deterred by warnings about Nigeria’s security situation before embarking on the trip.

BJ way be known shayo guy...e go visit all the clubs for Abuja and Lagos...bubble like mad... e no send and he's not from a poor background either

The hypocrisy and petulance of the average Nigerian on display. Mine is an "epistle". Word count your post above.

What is the difference in length to my post you quoted and what makes mine an "epistle" and yours otherwise? Nigeria is not where she needs to be because most Nigerians, like you, can't think correctly.

I have shown you that the highlighted part of your comment is not a reflection of the maverick and eccentric posturing of your Boris.

What else are you wizard-ing about here

Lol.. This clown is probably in a house with Maximum security in Nigeria and claiming he is safe.

Waka for that airport bridge alone without security by 8:30pm or Ajah under bridge make you come tell us you're safe.

A key part of that difference is that they are less tribalistic in using zoning and rotation fdor sharing their national cake as we do here, instead focusing on merit to BAKE the national cake.

Singaporeans are also intentionally more capitalist in outlook like PDP deregulation and privatisation politicians who gave us 16 years of widespread prosperity from high employment productivity. All that was changed in 2015 when Tinubu made his expired Buhari of four years earlier into APC messiah of extreme poverty, palliative sharing progreThief shege.

Neo-black Problem: Must Blacks Be Ruled by Whites in Order to Prosper?

In short, the neo-black dilemma may be framed as follows: is it better to live under white rule without political dignity but with basic life-sustaining standards for many;

or to live under black rule with illusory political dignity and without basic life- sustaining standards for the majority?
@

The path forward for Africa lies in cultivating higher and adequate levels of personal and communal agential integrity as well as full personal responsibility and productivity. Not to mention creativity (including epistemic creativity), productive justice (such as merit and freedom), harmony and reconciliation at local and international levels, and a proper domestication of capitalism and other related values and institutions.

Africa must stop wasting her time on dreams of socialism because it is a system of wealth distribution primarily. Whereas, capitalism is a system of wealth creation primarily, and wealth has to be produced before it can be distributed.

The Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy Chief Olawale Edun has said the last time Nigeria’s economy looked stable was about a decade ago.

He made this statement during his maiden press conference as Minister of Finance where he outlined President Bola Tinubu’s vision, agenda and strategy for the economy.

He said, “I think as we all know, we are not where we should be. The economy is barely growing above the rate of population growth.

“But it was not always so, and I think in trying to look at the way forward, if we now have a situation of slow growth, double-digit inflation, weak/depreciating exchange rate, as well as security concerns that are resulting in an economy that is not growing and not taking Nigerians out of poverty.

“If we think back to the last time when the economy was stable- when it was growing, when inflation was low, and the interest rate was affordable, that period was about a decade ago. Growth was about 6% in 2013 and 2014.”

Commended, really ?? who will touch him ??

Do you know the amount of security around him alone or you are just being naive

if that man want to eat in any Eatery they will chase customer out,

Johnson says he feels secure,Let govt withdraw all security from him and ask him to travel to central north with a driver

then we ask him that question again, feel secure
