Watch below.
I want to say this whether he’s gone because of health, security, or vacation to a country that colonized us till 20th century and exploited a lot of our natural resources which we supposedly gained “independence” from. It shows a great deal of who our leaders are and what we’re as a nation. If these leaders had actually struggled for the betterment of the society by investing in infrastructure, our awesome people, education, healthcare and technology. There’s no way any leader of ours would leave sunny tropics with safe roads, good hospital, happy thriving citizens to go stay in cold @$$ former colonizers England in dead of winter. But instead they chose fighting for power and money. I see what Nigerians are capable of even without government and proper infrastructure. If this man really cared about this nation his butt wouldn’t be looking to rule @ this age but focusing on teaming up leaders of integrity and focus in the next generation I mean like teens to twenties but they don’t care. Now us in our 20s waiting y’all corrupt leaders out with Father Time and Mother Nature. I have said my peace.
I’m surprised nobody commented that it’s somewhat an embarrassment to the nation that the President of a nation cannot get the best of health care infrastructure and health care team in a nation. How much more the regular everyday citizen, who doesn’t have the option of just flying off in a chartered plane to spend unlimited amounts in another nation. Well, I’m not even going to bother myself. I’m still here dealing with Trump. But everyone would look strange AF at you if you said Trump went to England for routine health care check up like ain’t supposed to have the top set of health care team in the White House hospital area. Really bothersome how we take it as OK for president to go out country for health care.
