British prime minister was wrong and be out of his sense for the statement he made to us.

I don't blame him! British government depends on monies that are coming from Africa's looters to make their own country stand...Yes!

Cameron and his government depends on looters....that's why they celebrates Jonathan!

But when this our present administration of Buhari had made a high fence in between the looters n those that embrace them, I don't see reason why Cameron or Queen won't talk nonsense...Yes!

Looters improve their economy!

Stupid Cameron!

Thunder fire you!

Buhari campaign with that... So what else do you think?

A strong response I saw over there especially the part that stated Cameron is basing his remarks on an old snapshot of Nigeria. That alone is very correct. The fight against corruption must be sustained.
We must stop all this wailing habit and settle down for business.

Is nigeria not fantastically corrupt? I agree with cameron nigeria is a fantastically corrupt country and i also agree our president isnt corrupt. What is needed is not a verbal response but rather prove to the world how serious we are presently about fighting corruption by making sure our looters pay for their crimes . That includes the apc leaders too.
In your own little mind all 169,999,999 Nigerians are corrupt and only one nigerian called buhari is a saint, you are worst than that clueless slowpoke and dullard in Aso rock.

If buhari is really a man of integrity, he should cancel his visit to Britain. He ought to do the rightful and needful

Tbf, he doesn't need to go to that extent to deal with this problem. All he needs to do is to demand an apology from Downing Street and I'm sure that they'll oblige. He's brought it on himself as he was the one who publically lambasted Nigerians, enabling Western countries to think that they can insult us anyhow. If our own president is happy to insult us then why should we feel aggrieved when other leaders do it too?

Daily Mail published a scathing article on GMB's stance on corruption last week- emotional Nigerias reacted angrily and abusively to the publication without offering rebuttals with facts. They failed to show proof for following:
-Naija doesn't receive £250m from the UK
-How much Buhari daughters pay in school fees.
-that our Politrickians do not own those listed houses
-that Buhari's 16yr- old daughter didn't fly business class to London
-that GMB listed all his properties and holdings and their estimated value in his Code of Conduct filling
-that we know GMB's net worth based on his asset declaration.
Back to Cameron's statement, he was being diplomatic cos he knows that Buhari's men like Amechi, Fayemi, Audu Ogbe, Fashola etc are all corrupt.
How did GMB fund his campaign?
Btw, GMB also called Nigerians corrupt in UK.
GMB is going to spend N47bn ( $235m) running Aso Rock in 2016 while Cameron is required to pay out of his pocket for any furnishing or upgrade above £30k($45k=N90m) on 10 Downing Street.
David Cameron doesn't have any presidential jet but Naija presidency has about 10..

It emerged this week that Nigerian president
Muhammadu Buhari had spent £150,000 educating
his daughter Zahra, a Surrey University student. Mr Cameron’s comments threatened to become a
diplomatic incident, when Mr Buhari said his
government was deeply "shocked and
embarrassed" by the comments. Speaking through his spokesman to the BBC he said
Mr Cameron must be referring to Nigeria's past
notoriety for corruption before his coming to power
last year A Number 10 spokesman said that
“British aid money does not go directly to the
Nigerian or Afghan governments” and the UK was
not paying for delegations to attend the summiut. He added: “We have a zero tolerance approach to
corruption and have rigorous checks in place to
protect taxpayers' money and take firm action if it
is misused.” The Queen met Mr Cameron and other political
leaders from both the Lords and the Commons at
Buckingham Palace to mark the her 90th birthday. Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, a noted republican,
missed the engagement to attend a family funeral
and wrote to the Queen to explain his absence.

Why is the presidency embarrassed by Cameron's statement.

He is only echoing what the President of Nigeria said about his country and her people.....Nigerians are criminals.

When some us criticized it as a serious Presidential slip, he was praised for being brutally honest.

You cannot eat your cake and have it, if the President is so pained by the utterance of the British PM he should use the world stage to show this, by issuing rebuttals befitting his angst against the British PM statement and for his outright disdain for his people and country.

To group us in the class of Afghanis is to tell you how low diplomatically and politically they consider the country.

Infact, they consider us bot-flies no better than to cut-off literally.

I would have suggested Buhari call the PM to issue a public apology using the same medium transmitted live, and I dear say spark off a diplomatic row if an apology is not tendered in the shortest time.

Whether he will do this or will be too cowed for fear of losing aids, financial support, political support and support for recovering stolen wealth is a political statement this presidency cannot afford not to make if it will be taken seriously by other country in the comity of Nations.


Buhari demand for a public apology broadcasted live by same medium or call back your ambassador to the UK and send back British Commissioner in Nigeria until they do.

You can't jail people for padding the budget because they have not stolen any money in the real sense. Budget padding is just preparing the ground for future corruption. You can only take administrative actions against such people and the president already did that. He sacked the DG of the budget office and redeployed all the directors in the office. That's enough action for me.

On Fashola and Amaechi, it's the responsibilities of the government of Lagos and Rivers to investigate and prosecute them respectively.
Buhari cannot do everything. Tell Wike and Ambode to do the needful, that's why they both have ministry of justice.

They institutionalised corruption in nigeria before granting us independence. And decades after, they are still benefiting from it. If you want to understand the conspiracy of the first world nations, go and see this movie title 'No Escape'. Starring Pierce Brosnan and Owen Wilson.

Truth hurts sometimes. Buhari is corrupt like any other politician in Nigeria.

Selective fight against corruption, is corruption!

Buhari sees a saint in Obasanjo, who's the most corrupt politician in West Africa! That's corruption!

He let his fulani terrorist brothers run wild commit numerous massacres in many parts of the country! That's corruption!

He fumbled many times with the budget. That's corruption!

He has many corrupt friends he's never going to prosecute, like Tinubu. That's corruption!

He's unwilling to do anything about the massive corruption going on in NASS. Government spends more than 150 Billion naira per yeae on NASS without anything to show for it. That's huge corruption!

Buhari doesn't obey the rule of law and influences court process. That's corruption!

He promised to make his assets public but failed. That's corruption!

He junkets the whole world unnecessarily, costing billions of naira to the economically handicapped country. That's corruption!

He gave all the juicy appointments to northerners. That's corruption!

He falsely claimed he was poor but his children are all schooling abroad. That's corruption!

He ordered killings of peaceful IPOB protesters instead of addressing their grievances diplomatically. While his fulani terrorist brothers massacre people. That's corruption!

He recently ordered the military to kill any Delta rebels instead addressing their grievances diplomatically. That's corruption!

I could go on and on. Buhari is no different from past and present corrupt politicians!
