ReplyDeleteHe better not go there and disgrace us again by saying Nigerians are corrupt thereby chasing investors away.
ReplyDeleteThe way mr president has been strong these days, traveling, holding meetings upon meetings without going for check up
ReplyDeleteI hope Buhari will not fold to the European Unions pressure to allow Morroco join the African Union.
ReplyDeleteBuhari better protect our interest in this meeting because the sustainance of our industries in West Africa will be jeopardized if Morroco joins African union.
