He added that because of the number of Nigerians imprisoned for law-breaking in Britain and elsewhere, they were also unlikely to get much sympathy.
"Some Nigerians claim is that life is too difficult back home, but they have also made it difficult for Europeans and Americans to accept them because of the number of Nigerians in prisons all over the world accused of drug trafficking or human trafficking. I don't think Nigerians have anybody to blame. They can remain at home, where their services are required to rebuild the country."he said
Are you serious?

Well said
ReplyDeleteAm igbo (to those calling Igbo brothers), I live in Europe, I have my permit, zero criminal records not even a ticket for wrong parking. There are lots of folks here with clean records as well, so what is this? The truth is that there are bad eggs from every country. In a country in EU, you would see warning signs prompting commuters to beware of pickpockets,does that mean all the Citizens are pickpockets yet their President condemmed an article in another country that stated that it was dangerous to ride in their public transport because of pick pockets. So, that statement is wrong coming from the president of the Country, the number one Representative of the Country. Obama will not come out to say oh Americans are killers and drug lords even when there are glaring cases. There are certain ways of stating issues in a diplomatic manner. So its not well said!
Delete@Anonymous 9:32AM Did you read the post well at all? Buhari said Nigerians should stop blaming their not getting assylum papers in Europe on the criminals and security in Nigeria. It is Nigerians that are saying it is hard for them to seek assylum because of Nigeria's bad reputation on criminality. So Buhari is saying that they should stop blaming it on the criminality of Nigeria. Instead they should blame it on the economic situation of Nigeria. He went further to say that the Nigerians abroad are not even better than the ones in Nigeria because they are always disgracing us and pushing drugs and entering prisons all over the place. So they should stop blaming it on the criminals in Nigeria. Pls always read and understand posts very well before you come here to comment senselessly.

Deletethis dude should stop talking like an idiot and start talking like a president. (Nigerians aren't the only ones in prison abroad )
ReplyDeletePresident Obama will never say such of his country no matter what.
Did he lie?
DeleteHypocrite
DeleteWhy do we NIgerians like to hide from the truth,the man i stating whats an open secret outside the shores of Nigeria,if you've travelled out you'd know what he is talking about.
DeleteIs there any lie in what he said? Nigerians are seen as criminal all over, check your statistics, out of 10 crime committed at least 7 is associated to a Nigerian.
DeleteNigerians are seen as criminals abroad till they prove themselves...This is nothing but the truth
DeleteIs it not the Nigerians that are seeking assylum that first condemned Nigerians by saying that Nigerians make it difficult for them to get papers in Europe because of their criminal activities? Buhari only commented on what Nigerians in Europe are saying about us back home here. They spoke ill of us back home. So Buhari also spoke ill of them abroad by saying that majority of them are in prisons for drug trafficking meanwhile they are busy blaming Nigerians back home for criminal activities. Infact, Buhari was even defending us back home in Nigeria. It will only take an intelligent person to understand that post. I wonder what kind of schools our youths attend that they cannot read a simple post and understand. No wonder many graduates are roaming the streets unemployed because companies will be wondering how they graduated when they cannot pass a simple interview. I weep for my country!

Useless man ! French président Will never talk such abt his countrymen ! Never hes Will protect them. No matter what they did. I ve seen where french Gvt went and kidnapped its national accused of drug trafficking in another country. Buhari u ré à stupid man. Very stupid.
ReplyDeleteBuhari is really an aboki with no sense at all kaii. Embarrassing Nigerians everywhere he goes
DeletePls stop comparing Nigeria to France or Europe or US? Nigeria is nowhere near them. We run to such countries to seek assylum but have you ever seen citizens of those countries running to Nigeria to get papers to stay? Buhari just said the obvious bitter truth which the whole world already knows about us. Do you want him to cover up for you when they whole world knows you are bad? You are the kind of people that will cover up for your children even when you know they are bad. By so doing, you are not helping the child. If Buhari lies and covers up for Nigeria abroad, most countries will see him as someone that doesnt have integrity and will not want to do business with Nigeria. They know Buhari to be a man of integrity. So he cannot lie because he will contradict what his character depicts. You wailers should pls take a chill pill and let Buhari be.

ReplyDeleteThis shows his level of illiteracy.. even if your prople are bad.. why must you go on an international media to insult Nigerians.. why are you the president.. what this illiterate should be doing is finding ways to revitalise the economy and create jobs and the right atmosphere for business to workout well.. so the youth that leaves the country to seek survival can have an option of staying back home.. this illiterate thinks since i graduated for years now. If i had a job . I wont had left 9ja.. even the ones that has jobs are loosing thier jobs cause of bad security of the nation.. The bad Government in continuation has ripped Nigerians off.all they think is thier families.. This illiterate no not wat he is doing.. saying shit like this bout Nigerians..
ReplyDeleteWho's services are required at home to help build the country, the criminals Abi? Education is sacrosanct for one to be a Leader. Just imagine a whole president misrepresenting himself and 170,000,000 Nigerians to foreigners. For what, so that they will see him as the only good Nigerian alive.
ReplyDeleteAnd he has Special advisers oh! Really shaking my head.
He called them criminals yet says that he need d services of criminals 2 rebuild d country. Such fuckery frm d mouth of a president. Now uve left Gej administration 2 antagonise nigerians abroad.

ReplyDeleteI admire this man, He will make Nigeria great In sha Allah
Why is this Man tarnishing our image?
ReplyDeleteI kinda agree with him. I know some people will bash him for saying the honest truth. You will see a Nigerian arrive on foreign country and start doing criminal stuff.
ReplyDeleteAm aware you supported this idiot @Linda. You and your silly as bonario. I have always said that his not my president as far as am concerned I don't have a president and I say it anywhere. How can a sensible person say this? Does it mean that Nigeria have got more illegit individuals abroad than the legit ones? Well his the number one man in Nigeria so if he says his Nigerians are criminals am sure he knows all fingers points at him too..... #PMBBonariosuncle
ReplyDeleteTrue
ReplyDeleteDull man making silly comments about Nigerians all the time. If Buhari is a criminal does not mean all Nigerians are criminals.
ReplyDeleteDey can remain at home while u keep doing the travelling for them. ..never seize 2 amaze me...4 a president 2 admit his country is full of criminals...na wa o

ReplyDeleteI think this is so wrong coming from a president, every country in the world have their own fair share of good and bad people, not all Nigerians are criminals, as the number one citizen he should be laundering the country's image to the rest of the world not disparaging Nigerians, he could have passed his message across without calling Nigerians criminals, i don't see Obama saying stuff like this bout Americans, most of the time Buhari grants interviews abroad he frequently says something bad about Nigerians, should be the other way around, that's not cool, his advisers should tell him...Gee_b
ReplyDeleteSir may b because you are the ONLY President in the World
ReplyDeletegoverning without any agenda or policy. May b bcos u cannot
even provide fuel for us, May b bcos in the history of the
World, you are the only presido handed over an economy
growing at 6.6 percent GDP but instead of improvin or atleast
sustaining what u were handed over u wrecked it to less than
1 percent growth in just 8 months and never say or do anythin
to correct it. Inflation rose from a little over 5 percent to an
unprecedent 9.8 perecent. The Naira, which u promised to
make it a par with the dollar within the first three months has
shaded 100 percent of its value. NSE nosdived from N12T to
N7T. May b bcos u r the 1st presido to submit two different
versions of a budget without even knowing the contents of
both. What u did are too numerous for discussion here. But
what u r not doing are even more damagin. Keepin quite
without adressin any issue except chasin shadows in the
name of fighting corruption while top civil servants are carting
away money in an unprecedented scale without ur knowledge
as the president. bcos u cannot differentiate btw probe and
fighting corruption, which is purely preventive. A Perm Sec
bought a whole street in Kaduna last week and while visiting
dubai with you, a director in the presidency bought a house for
880,000 dollars. Your long time girl frnd , Jamila Shuarah is
busy plundering the petroleum ministry as u have handed over
every thing to her as Perm Sec.U r yet to hav an adviser or
assistant in any key sector. May b bcos enligthened Nigerians
are one hundred percent sure that u have absolutely nothin to
offer even if u stay for 100 years. May b bcos people like me
that voted for u are now regrettin bcos you it may take a
genius to CORRECT the havoc and the damages you have
visited on this country in just 8 months. May b bcos we are
absolutely sure that no matter the propaganda u r incompetent
and the masses still supportin will be able to walk cos of
hunger by the time u leave govt. May b bcos ur Oyibo doctors
have adviced u to henceforth close from work at 1pm daily for
the remaining three years. Sir bcos u have set a world record
in wrecking an economy grown by your predecessor to be the
biggest in Africa faster than a camera flash and most
importantly may b bcos u have confided in a few people that
you cannot do it.
@ donjazzycrush... its as if u forgot to use ur drugs today ooo. Is that why u are barking. Yaba left done open already. Biko, go take ur drugs and let us rest. Omo ale jati jati

ReplyDeleteNigerians were not labeled as "criminals" by government many years back. I'm over 60 years old and I know this for a fact. Something went wrong.....something you cannot place at the feet of the governed. You, Mr President, are one of our past leaders so don't let us start pointing fingers/indulge in name~calling. You cannot assume you are the only NIGERIAN who is upright, Sir. Upright Nigerians about & if you are our leader & you don't know this already, you have defective reasoning? So please, don't go out there and make dumb statements believing they will applaud you. They are actually going to see you as a dumbass.

I don't know of your Hausa Fulani People. But People from South West, South East and South-South have proven to be the Best Exports Abroad. Nigeria has a Reputation of putting up the Best Brains in the Best Universities, Research Centers, Hospitals et. al. The List is too long. This Man should be barred from International Trips now.
