Nigeria is not in any position to render help right now, because we need all the help we can get to send a certain dullard back to daura

Big Brother Nigeria Featuring Buhari

500k USD and we the poor masses are roasting like yam wey dey fire...

Who do we really offend

Of which they'll go back to borrow...
Truly common sense is not common

Buhari is a useless, lifeless man

Ah ah what rubbish

Common 30 thousand naria they are finding it difficult to pay workers for them to stimulate the economic ,old fools later they will sale national asset to fund Mali census and borrow from China to fund Nigeria budget

Same people will tomorrow start deporting Nigerians for flimsy excuses or start imposing visa requirements

So Guinea Bisau no sabi road to China to go do their own borrowing?

The guy below has made a whole lot of sense, bear in mind that it's not only the Chinese even the Lebanese and Indians are reaping from the blood and resources we have invested in those places.

We should learn to attach economic gain to our Afrocentric foreign policy
We fought Wars IN Liberia, Sierra Leone etc .
We left for Chinese business men to dominate. We should learn to position our business men to take over after these feats

Welcome development, but please Mr. President, lets get our house in order first, before going outside!

Why don't we just buy that country

doing all this with no economic value attached to it, the sad thing is in some few years time they would have forgotten this kind gesture from Nigeria and initiate harsh policy to Hurt Nigerian's living there.
