So they didn't agree to kill bad Nigerian politicians and take Nigeria on loan? What a bad meeting. FTC

I rate the bilateral meeting a success.I hope implementation of the agreements will also be successfully done.

Revival of Ajaokuta Steel Complex will a massive accomplishment if successfully done. Billions of Naira invested as well as looted over the years.

I am not clear about "Russia plan to establish nuclear plant in Nigeria". Does anybody knows what this implies in clear terms?

One good about this Buhari administration is the use of government-to-government relationship window to get critical projects done as opposed to government-to-company in which corrupt and insincere government officials shamelessly shortchange our country in structuring agreements. This approach was adopted in dealing Siemens through German government for power projects.

We are making progress.

Great. These highlights will be mutually beneficial. Nigeria to get infrastructure development and strengthened security. While Russia will have a reliable friend in Africa and access to minerals resources and food supply.

The damage Trump has done to US Foreign Relations will take decades to repair globally.

All the eleven highlights are so on point,
We love this number 7 so much also.

7. President Putin agreed to support Nigeria with military equipment, Infrastructure and training.

Boko Haram will be reduced to the barest minimum.
This gladdens our heart.

mine is the 1400 kilometres railway from Lagos to calabar

Another good one!

God bless our darling President Muhammadu Buhari as he is doing everything to make our battered nation work again.

May all enemies of Nigeria never witness all the good things that will transform our nation for good.
The sadness and misery they want will be upon them.
No be curse,
Na FACT!

God bless Nigeria.

TWO GREAT MEN.....

You are a wise man.

Opposite poles
But wait, are we so desperate to go for Russian help when their own economy is sketchy?

The only benefit is Russians don't accommodate lazy yooots

I'm more interested in the nuclear power plan..

Russia can help us with nuclear energy and military weapons.
In a decade from now USA will drop to 4th position of industrialized and powerful nation on earth.
China, India, Russia are on the move while consumer continent (Africa) will continue to be a beggar nation where politicians will continue to loot. Nigeria is a big disgrace to black race

that's inviting more Boko Haram attacks sent by external and foreign powers. Did you notice Boko Haram became proactive after obasanjo mentioned nuclear power station?
