Is it not shameful that in a country regarded as one of the largest users of internet in Africa, Nigerians are still lagging behind in conducting personal research on issues that are in public domain, not only to educate themselves, but to be better enlightened...........it is more shameful when you read or hear senators, honourables, governors etc making wild claims that are contrary to what is in public domain despite the fact that these people collect from public treasury some money for research.......With the hues and cries from lots of people on what they termed ''record breaking presidential trips'' by PMB since he assumed office, i decided to track similar trips by world leaders within the same time and i benchmarked President Obama (USA), Prime Minister Matteo Renzi (Italy), Prime Minister Angela Merkel (Germany), President Hollande (France), President Putin (Russia).

We don't ve a problem with buhari's trip. We ve a prob with his timing. We re in crisis. The country needs him. International trips doesn't help nigeria right now

If international trips dont help, then why do the benchmarked leaders make such? As per a country in crisis, have you checked how many President Hollande has made in the last three weeks?

I think its past the time for complaints..our trajectory is clear When you find out you're in 1984, you dont complain..You plan To survive

The death of Gadaffi is what is responsible for rise of terrorism in Africa. -Buhari How can a president of a democrat nation say this? West Germany People are returning money to me Ghaddafi death is cause of BH And you say this man is not in same political party with VIC O?

Do Not Ever Call me a Wailer!

The frequent traveling of the d president is an indication for his inability to fulfill his promises. But when will d president visit ?

Self justification is the nature of a fallen man. The lizard and the rat can go drenched, the water on the body of the lizard dries up much more faster that of the rat.
So OP, your research does not in any way improve the condition of living of the masses who are raising concerns about junketting and dereliction of duties by the C-In-C of this country.

muzzol:
President Obama (USA), Prime Minister Matteo Renzi (Italy), Prime Minister Angela Merkel (Germany), President Hollande (France), President Putin (Russia).

Wallahi op. See the people you are comparing our Dullard to.

Since when did the zoo join G8?

This guy is funny. You're comparing Buhari to those other guys out of sheer cluelessness. How many of those presidents just assumed power?
Which of them has had about over 10 cases of bomb blast in those six months?

Which of them is currently without economic direction or policy?

Which one of those countries suffer fuel scarcity currently.

President Hollande of France had one terrorist attack and has replied in kind. What has Buhari done to deserve being compared with those other Presidents?
