God bless our darling Daddy as he embarks on this journey.
As he is doing everything he can to make our once battered and raped country work again.

May God continue to give him LONG years in good health.
May God continue to give him WISDOM, KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING everyday of his life.

May he go and return safely as always,
and whoever says he will not return peacefully,
Will not be here to read about Baba's return next Thursday.

No be curse,
Na FACT!

God bless Nigeria.

Excursion things

The most painful thing is that we have not seen effect of any of his travellings on the nation

Minister of travel and tourism

Of course, the national grid has collapsed and there's no light, he is traveling to where there's is constant light and where things are working properly, constant light is now ROCKET SCIENCE.

God! Who did Nigeria offend to deserve this? O'Allah! Forgive us, please!
Buhari stands for everything he campaigned against. He perverts justice and take great pride in ruining and dividing Nigeria. This is a man who dressed corruption and nepotism in a new attire. He's dumb as fu*k, he's just clueless.

He's an exemplary hypocrite.

Ije oma to the traveler, that's all I have to say

safe journey.....

He has spent more time outside the country than he has in it. Madness!

Bubu knows he has to be alive to complete his tenure , No amount of pressure will daunt his spirit.

This man don start!
