I recently asked myself a thought-provoking question today.What was the recent visit by our president to America able to achieved? To be honest, for a moment I couldn't give a concrete well thought answer to that question.

Below are some of the things I thought our president failed to achieved

No assurance with the US support for arms, equipment and intelligence to accelerate ending the insurgency in the NE
No concrete economy policy and plan (This was evident during the CNN Amanpour interview when asked about the economy)
No clear cut ways of how to recover looted and stolen money by some of our rogue both serving and past politicians.
Not a single well documented partnership deal was sealed in any area. Was it infrastructure development, power, education, health, technology and services? Nothing
Didn’t discuss anything about the AGOA (African growth and Opportunity Acts) Extension and Enhancement Act. To me this is one key and vita area he would had brought to the table as Nigeria being the power house in Africa development.

Apart from the 'no to gay marriage' which they are using to score cheap political points that wasn't part of the official agenda in the first place, please what other things the recent visit able to achieved?
Oh well, maybe he went to thank the America for helping him win the election.


See the below quote during his meeting with John Kerry the secretary of state


Because Buhari didn't prepare a special report for you, he didn't achieve anything? Did you think he went to America without knowing what America promised him before he accepted their invitation? You are slack, man, if you indulge in grapevine

Otueke village man that does not know the difference between state visit and working visit. Illiteracy does not allow you to see image rebuild of Nigeria. Ogogoro does not allow you to realise the commitment to recovering looted funds. Self delussion beclouds you seeing the good but only the bad. Continue make yourself unhappy in your vituperation.

Every patriotic Nigerian will admit that the President Journey to the USA was more of a National embarrassment and a complete flop. He had nothing concrete to discuss with Obama. Instead of keeping quiet, he mis-called his party name "All Nigeria People's Congress (ANPC)". He couldn't secure Obama's commitment in our fight against terrorism nor even discussed policy issues, and give proposal to Obama on how they can help him achieve success in his policies (perhaps he has no policy). He had nothing absolutely to say.

Wonder why Obama left him to Secretary of State John Kerry and travelled to Kenya? Because he realised that the man he invited is a complete joke. Obama means business

May God Help Us

OMG!

A drained brain is not difficult to be identified. It always finds faults in everything. But to your question, among other things that he achieved was having a session with the investors and sharing the business prospects in the country. So next time use your brain to follow happenings and not your ass.

What is the achievement in having a session with prospective investors? Any visiting head of state can have a session with investors, but the achievement, however, is when the prospective investors have actually come to invest.

Until that happens, the much touted achievement is certainly nonexistent.

Stop your sanctimonious epistle!
Wish his own nation failure...? Are you kidding me? Pls what did APC do to GEJ?

They wished him all the failings and bad in this world!

Even in the fight against boko haram, they so politicized it until it seemed as though GEJ purposely didn't want Boko haram gone. Now, they are beginning to blame the same USA that GEJ blamed for withholding arms!


This is not a tribal thing. It is holding him to his campaign promises!

PMB promised public assets declaration, where is it?
Promised to hit the ground running, he hasn't hit the ground yet, let alone run.

Eradicate Boko haram within a short period- boko haram is eradicating people within short periods.

Monthly Salary for unemployed youths and the elderly- all forgotten.

Am I supporting GEJ? No, but you shouldn't expect peace when you used "campaign of lies and over bloated manifesto to enter office"!

GBAM

APC is just a propagandist party. They like packaging hoping everybody will get Carried away with glossy show.

The most interesting thing about the whole jamboree is that Buhari thinking that meeting people including his former 'Army war college' mates is an achievement or Mrs. Oshiomhole or his son as part of the entourage.

Buhari spent 15 years to campaign before he 'won' the election but it appears that he is still in campaign mode.

The unfortunate thing is that every newly elected government has a honeymoon period which is usually the 1st 100days and how such government spend its political capital will determine the success or failure of such government.

Nearly 60days is gone but Buhari is wasting away his political capital and he is likely to be more hated than GEJ.

I don't understand why he came with governors that are meant to be running the affair of their states. i was expecting new faces, youths specifically to be the majority on that visit. i hope and pray for the best in Nigeria. After the election there should be no room for hate,rather all the elected or appointees should work to move the country forward.
To me its a disgrace

@reddit you didn't see anything good with the president wooing investors with a "business friendly" policy from government? When you see investors trooping into the country for business exploration you will still count that as an aftermath of his predecessor's policies. Sentiments kill wisdom and objectivity, honestly

And I wonder, if someone comes to you the first time to demand something sensitive, you would give them a straight yes without giving room for more negotiation and cooperation on the issue? It's called diplomatic talks OP, stop being sentimental and give your country some support

I wonder how any sensible person will always wish his own nation and leaders failure just for political correctness or mere tribal and clannish reasons.

It's the Nigerian syndrome of not wishing well of others.
We take pleasure in the downfall of others, going beyond the game; we always pray, secretly, others fail to proof us right.

My best intentions/wishes were with the immediate past government of GEJ, till we had to square up for the election match up, that's long over and done with.

Once a match is over, losers and winners move on to other productive endeavors for their lives, till next match up.
