These guys are just being diplomatic. We all know the reason behind the outcry, and know the people behind it as well.

They are the Wailing Epkas and were angry because Baba mentioned Drug Trafficking as one of the reasons Nigerians are regarded with scepticism in the outside world. They feel that line was directed at them.

I am tired of always "misunderstanding" the president. Mr Garba Shehu, when will Nigerians ever understand your Principal?

President Muhammadu Buhari’s Vacation

Presidents need many vacations for their jobs are very tough. If you knew how two young men Mr. Clinton and Mr. Obama aged in four years and then four more years you will see how challenging the job can be. A 73-year old Buhari will need to catch his breath much more often than Clinton and Obama. Both had 2 months’ vacation in every year of their services. One in summer (usually in Massachusetts Martha’s Vineyard) and winter in Hawaii. Nobody should begrudge PMB of his well-earned vacation.

But why would a Nigerian president not spend his vacation in Nigeria? Why must he spend it abroad? This is where we show that we do not like what we have at home and do nothing to make what is abroad available to us in Nigeria. When we get sick we go abroad, we want education for our kids we go abroad and we get a vacation time we go abroad. 
This is a shame.

A country that is foreign exchange starved cannot afford to have her president and his entourage spend their vacation times and foreign exchange abroad. I had thought that PMB was opposed to foreign junkets while a candidate but he seems to have become his own foreign secretary and now spends his vacation abroad. SS has very many wonderful resorts in Obudu Cattle ranch, and Calabar is a very holiday friendly place. Enugu has Nike Lake resort and there is the old Jankara Game Reserve. Or why did the president not go back to his village in Katsina and play checkers/draft with his old buddies? These would make him live as Nigerians live and make him feel like ordinary Nigerians.

I have lived in USA for a little while. Over these years I am yet to read of a foreign head of state spending his vacation in US. Why do we snub our things, always searching for things abroad? Would other Nigerian who want to enjoy their vacations abroad get the foreign exchange to do so or is PMB above the law?

God save Nigeria

These guys are just being diplomatic. We all know the reason behind the outcry, and know the people behind it as well.

They are the Wailing Epkas and were angry because Baba mentioned Drug Trafficking as one of the reasons Nigerians are regarded with scepticism in the outside world. They feel that line was directed at them.

JayDaddy:

So funny! Why don't you stay in Nigeria and talk your talk?

naijaking1:
Which one is worse?
Buhari's treasonable comments about Nigeria and Nigerians, or his office's bad explanation of his comments
Nigerians at home are doing worse to Nigeria's image than those abroad with their 419 letters than anybody abroad. Did he explain that?

sigiyaya:
The fool you call president just called Nigerians criminals

vedaxcool:
The lies by wailing zombies continue. It wouldn't deter PMB from dealing corruption a deadly blow. Liar metuh lied about the war on corruption to prevent the efcc from coming for him. He ate govt documents to prevent the truth from coming out. Today he is silent because all his antics failed.
The train of progress and change is on the move it is either u move out the way or get knocked down or left behind.

Poor comprehension of subject matter. Schooled at all? Read and study the op and comment again.

banmee:


Some questions you need to ask yourself. Are politicians looting the country like crazy? Are policemen asking for bribes publicly and without shame? Does the country have a culture of jungle justice? Etc. You guys just don't get it. These things that seem normal to you is seen as abnormal to the outside world. Even if you deny what is obvious to everybody, the Internet is there. The outside world is seeing all that is happening in Nigeria and denying it does not make any sense.

Elosky20:
i dont think anybody deserve any explanation, because buhari was right in what he said. bt its unfortunate that people have forgoten what they learnt in school. e.g there is a clear difference between::
Some nigerians: a certain amount of nigerians
.
all nigerians: every nigerian both home and abroad.
.
its quite unfortunate that people are been misled by a section of the country who hate buhari, and has sworn that nothing Good comes from him.

sigiyaya:
So in other word Nigerians are criminal and i want to believe that you are a criminal too cuz you are a Nigerian

Rolings:


Benjami Aduba you can lie oooo, maybe you have lived in the USA for only a day that's why you can say no foreign head of state holidays in the US . Even GEJ used to go there. Stop lying

Excellentmind:
There is no amount of words that can dissuade Nigerians from taking notes of the degrading comments from Buhari, who happened to be the president of Nigeria due to local and international conspiracy, aided by gullible youths. Today, the mess in Nigeria is being compounded because of the inability of present government to prefer solutions to the social and economic problems begging for attention.
Where do we start from? Is it the fraudulent budget of 2016?
Although, the mistake is made, it will not last for ever.
