What are the Benefits of President Buhari's Visit to Jordan?

Two months ago President Buhari led a contingent of top government officials to Turkey. Last week again, he went to Jordan with some governors and other officials to attend a conference on anti-terrorism. In concrete terms, what did Nigeria gain from this visit? I cannot think of any apart from meeting with the President of tiny countries like Guinea, Togo and others that attended the conference.
Rather than visit Adamawa where police officers and other citizens were killed as a result of the violence that ensued from the clash between the herdsmen and the farmers, the President preferred to go to Jordan, spending millions of dollars on such a fruitless visit.
The President loves visiting other countries but world leaders hardly reckon with such visits. How many of them have visited Nigeria in the last two years? Could hardly think of any. For God's sake, let him stay at home and addres pressing national issues. These his meaningless foreign visits are sheer distractions and a waste of scarce national resources.

Taming of terrorists such as IPOBS and boko haram are the immediate benefits as we shall start seeing very soon.

You mean 're-taming' of technically defeated BH and imaginary IPOBs ?
That's like re-exploring Nasarawa, Kano, and Jigawa Basins for non-existent oil. Buhari is truly confused.

Here in Kunching, we get several Hausa boys on scholarship doing masters and Phd all sponsored by Nigeria. Most of these boys all have one world view, that Islamic must rule the world. My friends it's pathetic when we have a leader who share such similar belief. Buhari is a religious and ethnocentric leader who'd rather put some King of Jordan first or Moslem nations interest ahead of his country. And before My fellow Moslem brothers start attacking, tell me one thing Nigeria will benefit from this useless and wasteful visit? On daily basis this man keeps aligning to the Islamic world, from the corrupt regime in Iran down to the terorist gripped nation such as Jordan. Shame


FYI: I am a Moslem. I did my hidadi and thanawi at Morkas Salam, Ahmadiyyah Lagos before fleeing this useless country. We need right thinking leaders not bigots or divisive shytheads like Buhari and Atiku. I sincerely wish the south could unite and bring an educated and detribalized leader for 2019
