President Muhammadu Buhari during his last visit to Qatar has
given the interview to Al Jazeera.

The Nigerian president has been speaking about the challenges
the country is facing now, comprising the naira devaluation,
the Boko Haram, anti-corruption crusade, the Biafra issue.
Buhari is seeking support for his fight against corruption and
to promote much-needed investment in his country’s ailing
economy.


Qatar is the actual president of Organization of the Petroleum
Exporting Countries (OPEC) and Nigeria is Africa’s largest oil
producer.

The low oil prices have a destroying influence on the Nigerian
economy, which has long depended on the export of oil.


President Buhari said: “ We were unable to diversify our
economy, hence we are much more disadvantaged by the
lower oil prices.”

He tells the journalist that he values the institution of OPEC and
that “ Nigeria will make the necessary sacrifice to remain in
OPEC.”

On naira devaluation, the Nigerian leader of the nation said he
would not reconsider his insistence on freezing the currency.
President Buhari said as Nigeria “virtually imports everything,
from rice to toothpicks”, it cannot afford to devalue its
currency.


“If it is against our national interest, why can’t we go against
the IMF advice? ” Buhari asks.


Two major Buhari’s promises during the election campaign
last year were to eradicate corruption and end the Boko Haram
insurgency.

Speaking on the Boko Haram, the president restated that none
of local government areas has been occupied by the
insurgents, adding that he hasn’t failed against the insurgents


However, the Boko Haram remains active in many areas of
Nigeria, seemingly able to strike at will.

Being asked how Buhari is planning to deal with Biafra, the
president said: “ At least two millions Nigerians were killed in
the Biafra war. And for somebody to wake up, may be they
weren’t born. Looking for Biafra after two millions people were
killed, they are joking with the security and Nigeria won’t
tolerate Biafra.”


The declaration of the Independent Republic of Biafra in 1967
caused a civil war that resulted in the death of millions and the
re-annexation of the republic to Nigeria in 1970.

The administration of President Buhari has always maintained
that Nigeria’s unity is a priority for the country and that while
peaceful pro-Biafran protests are welcome, demanding the
separation of the Biafran territories is against the constitution.

Who cares?

Of what use is the trust of a person who kidnaps your daughter and marries her by force?

Of what use is the trust of a person who kills you and burns your house after his cattle finishes grazing at your farm?

Of what use is the trust of a person who wires bombs on his younger sister's chest and sends her to go an blow up his kinsmen?

Of what use is the trust of person who can shoot you at any time because their leader told him to?

What I don't understand is whether you guys are with Yorubas because you trust them or because you know their limits.

Rosebud90:
But why does Buhari always address national issues while on foreign tours or BBC hausa? what happened to NTA and media chats

Because these local stations are mere yansh lickers.
They shy away from asking questions they perceive might be sensitive to Emperor Bubu. They only ask soft questions which already has ready made and obvious answers, questions they hope won't provoke or ruffle anyone's feathers.

Foreign medias have no reason to be fazed by that.

I've always known that PMB is a big Joker,very hypocritical, controversial and unreliable ,A man that called for d creation of independence of Palestinian state frm Israel is saying that Biafra is joke.
So some people deserves independence y some don't deserve it?
well Biafrans has d right to self determination and that right supercedes one individual no matter how mighty n highly placed such individual is.

Watch what he said on independence of Palestinian.

I don't want Nigeria to be divided,only what I want is for Igbos to marry Igbos,Hausas marry hausa,yoruba marry Yoruba etc, I don't want mixture of blood between our tribe and other, simple. With that we can stay united as a nation.

Buhari is truly unpresidential with the statement he made. how could threaten an entire region with military just because u want to make a point. As leader u are meant to be a unifying factor even in the face of provocation. truly Buhari is not a leader for the 21st century. the last election showed he wasn't fit for the office of the presidency. Buhari promised to deal with the regions that only gave him 5% of their votes with little or no social amenities, how could a true leader utter such statement before the international community? i felt embarrassed. if you don't like the Igbos and wish to see them dead, must you let the whole world know how vehement and intolerable you are towards them. A true leader is one who attempts in all time the unify the people against ethnic or trivail sentiments. He just fuelled the hate by uttering such callous statement by reminding them of history.

Buhari has forgotten that you can't use the military against citizen just because they agitated for secession. that will be viewed the highest level of irresponsibility by a legitimate government
