want to reelect? Thank God Trump told Buhari that the US wont accept the

Buhari is certainly doing nothing to stop that!”
‘Nigerian herdsmen DO NOT carry AK-47s’-Buhari to @realDonaldTrump. Is this the man you want to reelect? Thank God Trump told Buhari that the US won’t accept the killings of Nigerian Christians by radical Muslim groups and herdsmen. Buhari is certainly doing nothing to stop that!— Reno Omokri (@renoomokri) April 30, 2018

Buhari is a curse.
Another user @MrStanleyNwabia said,” The fact that most people consider
Buahri not “disgracing” Nigeria at the White House today as a major
achievement is an unfortunate tragedy.
Facebook user were also
not left out, Oba Koseleri on Facebook said “#Scumbag How many African
countries are blaming Libya for killings in their countries the way this
man(Buhari) has been doing lately. I know that the way Trump was
looking at him, he never believed the trash he was saying.
Another user, Esona Onuoha said “ Trump schooled Buhari on the “art of
the deal” and even admitted he would have sold him US agro products if
he could have found a way. Text book sales techniques were used on
Buhari. Sales man versus soldier. Cash for military equipment and not
even oil. This cash that is causing a storm for Buhari in the senate
that even Trump couldn’t dream of taking from the US without
congressional approval. The US should ask Buhari if due process was
followed in taking that cash out of the Nigerian economy otherwise it
should be treated as looted until it clears legislative processes.”
Another
user on twitter @eadewunmi said, “Took me like 30mins to do this
hypothetical briefing. I can’t believe there is anyone praising Buhari’s
performance in the meeting with Trump. A total disaster. The bar
doesn’t exist anymore. Sigh!
