The Minister of Foreign Affairs, Geoffrey Onyeama, has said that the President of Benin Republic, Patrice Talon, had expressed readiness for his country to be part of Nigeria.
Onyeama, who stated this shortly after a close door meeting with Beninoise Minister of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation, Aurélien Agbenonci, said the Beninoise president gave the offer when he visited President Muhammadu Buhari, a few weeks back.

“The President of Benin said as far as they are concerned, they want (not just saying it like that) but in reality, Benin should be the 37th state of Nigeria,” he said.

“We should really be one. They charged us to come together at ministerial level, to work out a framework for a sustainable relationship.”

Onyeama said, at the visit, both presidents discussed agreements between the two countries on how to put the issue of smuggling to an end, once and for all, as a follow up to the presidents’ meeting.

37th what? Just like that? Okay o

That Benin republic president must be in love with slavery if this is true. When sane people want to be free from this shit hole the free want to be slaves in the shit hole.

Lol
Dumbest thing I have read today,

Joke?...Is he living under the rock not to know that his country is doing way better than Nigeria??

Could this be another blogger lie or is it really true? If this was reported about landlocked Niger Republic, it would have been easier to believe. But, while would a whole country with an access to the sea choose to become a state in another country?

For real?

BENIN ASSEMBLY SHOULD START IMPEACHMENT PROCEEDINGS ASAP

Why not Sudan the president's country of origin

They want to chase investors from their country most especially car dealers .
