While PMB the president of Nigeria squandered about N2.2B to visit America with his son and likeminded politicians, president Uhuru of Kenya attracted $1.1b to the economy of his country by Obama's visit. While PMB was in America castigating, hating and maligning Nigerians ( especially past administration and the 5% group), president Uhuru of Kenya praised his countrymen and women and presented them as ideal people to do business with in the presence of Obama. While PMB denied/barred his fellow Nigerian businessmen from meeting with him in America and even embarrassed the few that tried to meet him, president Uhuru of Kenya not only allowed his own men but even Nigerians to meet and interact with Obama. In a show of competence, president Uhuru eloquently and in erudite manner turned down a gay right application in Kenya requested by Obama. In the case of PMB, even though he objected to gay right, an interpreter was needed to convey his message. Compare and contrast: One of the two presidents is a leader and the other, a RULER. The lesson: We do not need to be the most populous, largest and the most spread country in Africa to make impacts and attract investors to our country. We need technocrats, educationally certified and seasoned politicians and not mediocres and illiterates as leaders. # Nigerians are gradually waking up from mediocre and Illiterate change#

I recently asked myself a thought-provoking question today.What was the recent visit by our president to America able to achieved? To be honest, for a moment I couldn't give a concrete well thought answer to that question. Below are some of the things I thought our president failed to achieved No assurance with the US support for arms, equipment and intelligence to accelerate ending the insurgency in the NE No concrete economy policy and plan (This was evident during the CNN Amanpour interview when asked about the economy) No clear cut ways of how to recover looted and stolen money by some of our rogue both serving and past politicians. Not a single well documented partnership deal was sealed in any area. Was it infrastructure development, power, education, health, technology and services? Nothing Didn’t discuss anything about the AGOA (African growth and Opportunity Acts) Extension and Enhancement Act. To me this is one key and vita area he would had brought to the table as Nigeria being the power house in Africa development. Apart from the 'no to gay marriage' which they are using to score cheap political points that wasn't part of the official agenda in the first place, please what other things the recent visit able to achieved? Oh well, maybe he went to thank the America for helping him win the election. See the below quote during his meeting with John Kerry the secretary of state PRESIDENT BUHARI: Thank you very much, (inaudible). I’m very pleased to get this opportunity to thank the Secretary of State because his visit to Nigeria, which he’s just referred to, since his visit seemed like a friend to Nigeria. As the United States’ message sent to the previous administration was clean and clear that the United States would not accept anything extraconstitutional, that prepared the minds of Nigerians to back us and to arrive where we are today. Nigeria will remain very grateful to the United States, to the President, and to the Secretary of State. He saw the president then, he saw the chairman of Independent National Electoral Commission, and he saw the opposition. And by the day, the United States maintained pressure on the government, the law enforcement agencies, and the election officials to make sure that the election was free and fair. We thank God, we thank the United States, we thank technology for the introduction of a permanent voter’s card and reader cards made so much difference from previous elections. I thank you very much, Secretary. Thank you very much, ladies and gentlemen of the press. SECRETARY KERRY: Thank you, Mr. President. PRESIDENT BUHARI: Thank you very much. Happy to see you. SECRETARY KERRY: Thank you very much, everybody. Thank you. We’re going to have a working lunch now. Thank you.

ok

I hope in future we as a nation never repeat this mistake of voting baba.

It is easier to deal with an unexpected loss than to deal with an unexpected victory. I rest my case!
