Ghen Ghen, If we talk, they call us wailers, now coming from the mouth of those he always run to when he develops headache, hope he'll now react positively. Worst thing that can happen to a human is when he's surrounded by sycophants, Buhari is surrounded by those that don't tell him the truth, they hide true situation of things from him knowing fully well he's daft, doesn't read

The Foreign and Commonwealth Office of the United Kingdom has warned British nationals against travelling to about 21 states in Nigeria over security concerns.

The travel warning posted on its website and updated on Monday, stemmed from the worsening security situation occasioned by the Boko Haram terrorists attacks in the North East, armed banditry in the North-West and militancy in the South-South.



Specifically, the FCO advised against all travels to Borno; Yobe; Adamawa; Gombe; and the riverine areas of Delta, Rivers, Akwa Ibom and Cross River states.

The British government also cautioned against trips to within 20km of the border with Niger and Zamfara states.

The FCO further advised against all but essential travel to Bauchi, Zamfara, Kano, Jigawa, Katsina, Kogi and within 20km of the border with Niger in Sokoto and Kebbi states including the non-riverine areas of Delta, Bayelsa, Rivers and Abia States.

The advisory admonished British nationals to avoid crowds including political meetings, religious gatherings and places of worship, markets, shopping malls, hotels, bars, restaurants, transport hubs and camps for displaced persons.

“Attacks could be indiscriminate and could affect western interests as well as places visited by tourists. Besides Abuja, other major towns and cities remain particularly at risk, including Kano and Kaduna,” it stated.

The FCO noted that there was a high threat of kidnap throughout the country, adding that abductions could be motivated by criminality or terrorism, and could be carried out for financial or political gain.

It stated, “The security environment in the northeast has deteriorated since 2018 and there is a heightened risk of kidnap.

“There is also a high threat of criminal kidnap in the Niger Delta region and Kogi State. If you travel to areas to which the FCO advise against travel, you are particularly at risk and will need a high level of security.”

With the current spate of kidnapping, I would advise Nigerians in Nigeria to be careful when considering interstate travel within Nigeria.

The way the thing is escalating now, I am seriously considering getting a car. Public transport now is getting riskier.

That is a bloody lie sycophants of his use as his defence when evidence of his unmitigated disaster as a president are made public by reputable insitutions or countries.
Even if he had good advisers,the man is bereft of ability to think out policies or decisions that would impact the country or people positively.
He is innately deficient in ideas, thoughts or processes,made worse by his innate bigotry and near extremist religious tendencies.
He is a modern day almajiri steeped and indoctrinated in Islam,but forced to attend modern institutions for which he was intellectually unfit for.
The result is his failures,so you lot should stop shifting the blame to a group of phantom good advisers you claim he doesn't have.

Burutai and other useless security chiefs won't even agree that any state in Nigeria has security concerns.
