Seems someone is high this morning

Comments like this show how ignorant Nigerians are about economics and international politics.

When countries like Russia, China and Turkey are scrambling for ties with Venezuela, Nigerians are asking what OUK or Nigeria stands to benefit with this meeting.

Kanu is known around the world. He knew Maduro way before he became head of state. His company Slok did a lot of work for Chavez yrs back. Kanu is one of the richest black men alive...if you see his investments outside Nigeria, you will faint. Again I know you are Afonja and will not understand because you brain is all about Dangote Dangote Dangote.

I actually think Kalu is just showing Nigerians and indeed President Buhari that he's a global force.

It seems this guy wants the US secretary of states to probe him and his business.

Just one click of the button from the US department of treasury and he is wrecked.

Kalu is playing with fire. Stay away from that man.

Meeting a President hated by the USA and about to be ousted by Gerardo...

Nigeria is dissing every country that’s better than them. At least they still have power.. One of their dams generates 15k MW while Naija as a country is struggling to generate 4k MW
