You Are Better Off In Benin Republic, Buhari Tells Nigerians Living There by Nobody: 8:30pm On Aug 02, 2015

President Muhammadu Buhari has urged Nigerians in Benin Republic planning to return to the country to stay back for now.
He gave the advice on Saturday night during a meeting with Nigerians residing in Benin Republic.

Answering the question on what the government was doing to facilitate the return of some of them who wants to go back home, Buhari said: “I believe a lot of you are doing well and are better off here. So, the question of facilitating your coming home does not arise.’

“We don’t want you to come back home and be unemployed. Don’t come and add to our problems. If you have something doing here please continue doing it.”

He promised to facilitate the establishment of two new consulates in Benin next year if the request passes through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

“I think I will direct your ambassador to make the request to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs so that by the time we are doing the next budget, it would be included. Although we are trying to cut down on the number of ministries, the morale of Nigerians in diaspora must be considered.

“This is because we are so many. We are aggressive whether in business or other facets of life. So, we as a government will do everything possible to look after Nigerians wherever they are,” Buhari said.

Stressing that it was usual for him to meet the representatives of the Nigerian community wherever he goes and answer their questions, he said that he has always told the Nigerian communities to respect their hosts culture and laws.

He noted that there were a number of problems in South Africa which did not portray Nigerians in good light.

“Some of them are in prison for committing a number of crimes. But for you who are so close home, you should do your best in being good ambassadors of the country,” the president said.

unemployed. Don’t come and add to our problems. If you
have something doing here please continue doing it.” - Buhari.

PMB is Frank to a fault. He must learn to answer questions tactfully so that the wailing wailers don't score cheap points on him. #wiseupoldman all the same You've got my unconditional support.

The last time I checked, nations implore their citizens to come back home and contribute to the development.
Maybe buhari thinks none of those in benin can add value to naija.

He even said, 'don't come and add to our problems', hehehehe....chai

“We don’t want you to come back home and be unemployed. Don’t come and add to our problems. If you have something doing here please continue doing it.”

All this folks with their hate comments.

Please this advise he gave what is wrong with it for crying out loud? Are you the ones that will give them jobs if they come over? Do you want him to make promises he won't be able to keep so that you find faults? angry

Or because he is the President, he should give every individual in Nigeria a job.

At least he is being honest in his decisions. Right now you happen to have a honest and transparent President but no, some sleazy humans are never satisfied.

Some of you jobless ones out there, if they come over, will it make the job market any easier for you?.

Mtcheeew.
