So the daura cattle rearer told his ambassador to vote against the US recognition of Jerusalem. To what end? What do we stand to gain from this? The old dullard couldn't even abstain like other smarter nations did. He should for once put away his Islamic bigotry and put on his thinking cap. Wetin concern us for this matter? You no go leave Israel and Palestinians with the world powers make dem solve their problem? Now poor Nigerians will suffer for this stupidity especially in the boko haram ridden north east because Trump has said he would withdraw funding and aid from the nations which did not support him
