Hehe....you sound more empty and pained .

Stop joining issues with this DropShot guy. The thickness is strong on this one

Dunno why all this self acclaimed political analyst / E-Politician can't join a political party or even form one, then become a formidable opposition to the government in power.

Better than e-criticisizing without e-solution.

[b]There's nothing gainful about the tour! You called it a tour, and a tour it really was. We gained nothing as a nation but your reckless shepherd had fun touring the States and staging press conference with less influential secretary of state.

He honoured an invitation, was he asked to honour the invitation with his APSheee flocks and demons?
What did we gain? The loss of 2.2billion Naira to the futile Blair house adventure?


How many business ties/deals were announced throughout his photo-taking adventure in the US? Isn't it in the news that your hero-father Buhari has accused America of aiding Boko Haram? He can't have toured the White House gainfully and still comeback to wail about America's ghost aid to Boko Haram.


Is this present government not sophisticated enough to be leaping with euphoria of joy at the mention of any superfluous achievement? What will the presence of Obama add to Nigeria? What was the impact of the visits of Bill Clinton, Queen Eliza and co in their various visits to Nigeria? How far have the countries Obama visited progressed? Is it that this government lacks confident and has more faith in less concerned nations helping them fight it's battle? This is terribly interesting!


"America will know." how many of us remember that famous sentence? Bikonu, if America doesn't or didn't know how then will they be able to help recover the stolen funds? They even made mockery of him and called him all sorts of despicable and derogatory names, no thanks to their lack of decorum. But now it seems they're also doing the same thing they insulted him of. Talk about hypocrisy!


This government is built on lies and hypocrisy, and whatever you hypocritically accuses your neighbour of, you must surely fall victim to someday.

Fulaman or fulamafia or whatever your name is, you can't hide the truth no matter how hard you try to decorate and embellish your lies. The tour was fruitless and everybody can see that, even your fellow All Pathetic Clown (APC)members know that. You lots are just terrible![/b]

barcanista:
1. Honoring an Invitation has no effect on Nigerians.

2. For real? How many business deal did Buhari sign in US? How many MoUs did he initiate or sign? Which commitment did he secure (not jiust verbal commitment)? Which policy was discussed or formulated? whatever may be our response on this topic will never cancel the fact that Buhari is the President of this country and he has the right to honor any invitation given to him by any other president which he so desired to honor.

And when you talk about business deals and MOUs don't you think we should first have a good relationship before talking about those, secondly have you asked yourself what happened to all the business deals and MOUs the past administrations have been signing, please Nigerian's we should learn how to exercise patient and try to love our country.

3. What kind of diplomatic tie did he strengthen? Is it not embarrassing that Obama left his "visitor" in the US to a Secretary of State (Foreign Minister) and not even his VP? Is that not embarassing?

4. Which loot did he recover@OP? This is funny... Are you aware that even before PMB won election the Americans had agreed to repatriated $480million Abacha's loot in 2014?
www.360nobs.com/2014/08/u-s-to-return-480-million-of-abacha-loot/

5. Jonathan already criminalised Homosexuality. That is not even a subject of negotiation.

OP stop embarrassing Buhari... Buhari went to the USA to embarass Nigerians and also wasted tax payers money.

fulanimafia:
I was enveloped with utter amazement and disbelief at the baseless sentiments being peddled on this forum by members of the opposition, that the recent US trip embarked upon by President Buhari was entirely fruitless and a waste of resources. That assertion could have been correct and be categorized as a product of sanity if not for the following facts:

1. PMB honoured an invitation.

The first point to note President Buhari did not just embark on the trip for sightseeing or primarily to go and seek for weapons, but the visit was in honour of President Barrack Obama’s invitation on the strength of our president’s local and international goodwill. Thus international goodwill is as a result of the president’s acclaimed integrity, discipline and incorruptibility. This goodwill largely accounted for the way Buhari and his entourage were accommodated in Blair’s House, which serves as a site for “American Diplomacy” during the visit. This shows the esteem with which Buhari is held on account of this goodwill considering the fact that previous visiting Nigerian leaders never had such luxury treatment.
http://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/top-news/185645-obama-invites-buhari-to-white-house.html

2. External Support for Policy Formulation & Execution

Indeed international partners had a rare opportunity to engage Nigeria on a new beginning given the fact that ministers are yet to be appointed and key policies are still being worked out, their input would definitely contribute to the shaping of this new governments policies, which would also make it more likely that we will have their full support in the execution of such policies. The input from potential investors and Biz executives at the recent meeting with Buhari in Washington is a case in point.
http://sunnewsonline.com/new/buhari-woos-american-businessmen-to-invest-in-nigerian-economy/

3. Diplomatic Ties

There are also diplomatic consequences of the visit. It has the prospect of strengthening diplomatic relations of both countries. Obama has never visited Nigeria in his almost eight-year-tenure. This is not best for the image of Nigeria as the greatest black African Nation. Buhari’s visit may have provided a convenient platform for Obama to reciprocate the gesture by undertaking a visit to Nigeria in no distant future.
http://www.voanews.com/content/boosting-us-nigerian-ties-heart-obama-buhari-meeting/2866827.html

4. Recovery of Foreign Loot
Nigeria also requires assistance in retrieving stolen wealth stashed in some American commercial banks or covert agencies. There are strong indications and suggestions that some of these loots have been deployed in the purchase of expensive and expansive estate in Washington D.C. and its environs particularly the State of Maryland. As a result of this visit, the United States said it will assist Nigeria in locating and returning funds stolen by corrupt government officials.
http://uk.reuters.com/article/2015/07/19/uk-usa-nigeria-idUKKCN0PT03R20150719

5. Re-enforcement of Anti-Gay Stance

President Buhari on this U.S trip, re-emphasized that Nigeria's Anti-sodomy legislation stands and will not be repealed as it goes against the culture and morals of Nigerians. President Buhari's refusal to compromise on this stance has been applauded by Nigerians far and wide.

The expectation is that the president’s latest visit to the US has marked a good beginning for the realisation of Nigerian’s vast potential. As noted by Obama, Buhari came into the office with a reputation of integrity and a clear agenda on corruption and Boko Haram insurgency including fixing the economy and infrastructure, therefore I call on members of the opposition to realize that months of wailing will not return Jonathan, so they should join hands with all Nigerians to achieve these objectives for the betterment of our nation.

[b]All these APC supporters self. Shallow thinking and reasoning. This is how you secure deals when you jet out. Not promissory notes, selfies and vague promises!!!

The federal government has attracted over $25 billion in investment, including the $20 billion Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed between Power China and the Ministry of Power to generate for Nigeria 20,000 megawatts of electricity, following President Goodluck Jonathan’s trade mission to China last week.

http://www.thisdaylive.com/articles/fg-secures-25bn-investment-deals-during-chinese-visit/153386/

Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan and his Chinese counterpart, Xi Jinping, have presided over the signing of accords between their governments to facilitate $1.1bn in low-interest loans for much-needed infrastructure in Nigeria.The ceremony took place on Wednesday in Beijing at the start of Jonathan's four-day visit.

http://www.aljazeera.com/news/africa/2013/07/2013710171651692540.html

---

Now compare that to the disgrace Buhari subjected Nigeria to...

After a four-day official visit in the United States of America, President Muhammadu Buhari will be returning to Nigeria today with no pledge of concrete military assistance against Boko Haram terrorists from his hosts.

http://dailytimes.com.ng/us-refuses-sell-weapons-nigeria/

The difference is clear when a man with vision rolls out and when an illiterate stumbles out!!! Jonathan travelled with his entourage and got the job done!!! Buhari travelled with his entourage and suddenly Kim Kardashian is jealous and Buhari returned without any affirmative deal neither hope we can cling on to!!!

And please stop the issue of saying Nigeria's image was battered during Jonathan's regime. Nigeria has no image outside apart from being mocked as the "Giant of Africa"... Talk like say e get one Image una been keep for outside . Gullible followers. It was shameful seeing our presidential entourage snapping photos and shining their teeth gleefully like say Obama dey share jollof rice.

Give up on these predictable characters on Nairaland and move on to better things. I come to Nairaland when I need to get a laugh and entertain myself plus play a little mischief. I keep saying it, nobody thinks of Nairaland outside Nairaland when they talk about issues that shape our political landscape. The only serious businesses that take place here are other sections apart from politics. Don't take the rantings of jobless youths too serious. 100% inconsequential.

We can't start counting our chicks before they hatch.
Buhari does not need to travel to US to recover looted funds. Abi is it only in USA that the funds were stashed in ?

meaning he's going to travel to over a hundred countries so solicit that funds be returned too.

Healthy opposition is good, but at some point we must learn to be the cheer leaders of this country.

How can any sane human being believe that nothing good came out of Buhari's honoring of his invitation to visit the USA?
