President Barack Obama,the leader of the free world.. met with the president of Africa’s richest and most populous nation ‘President ‘Buhari‘ today at the White house.
It was reported in the past that President Obama will discuss the issue of gay rights in Nigeria with Buhari; however, a vast majority of Nigerians are concerned and hoping that the President stands his ground and not compromise on the subject. However the details of what was discussed is yet to be made public, and we will continue to bring you the latest as it unfolds.
Some of the other things we reported they were to discuss are as follows:
- First is the fight against insecurity. Nigeria is going to be asking for America’s assistance in terms of intelligence and in terms of equipment. If this succeeds and we get all that we want of course, we know it is going to make an impact on the war against insurgency; so that would be a key achievement of that trip.
- Again, something that would be on the table in America is the anti-corruption war. If we have money outside in billions of dollars, you know what that means in Naira. That is more than an annual budget.
- Then the third thing will be the Nigerian economy. America used to buy 30 percent of Nigeria’s oil. Now, it is less than five percent because they discovered Shale oil and gas. So, in what way can America boost our economy? This will be a major thing and, at the end of it all, this will be to the benefit of Nigerians.
