Global Leaders commended Buhari efforts while non objective critics in Nigeria are flooding social media with bad comments against the president. 

The selected comments are from Holande of france, UN lead Banki Moon and lastly President Obama of USA. 

Below are some key leaders comments to The Nigerian president. 

Hollande, France President.
“We will invest in Nigeria, we believe in her,” 

"Nigeria is a fertile ground for handsome return on investments.

“Apart from your country’s close relationship with us, you have the same with most of our neighbours.

“We seek more collaboration, particularly in agriculture, mining and security,” President Buhari told Francois Hollande of France.

Banki Moon
"You are highly respected by world leaders, including myself. Your person has given your country a positive image.”

Obama, US President
lamented that President Muhammadu Buhari’s economic reforms is “bold”.

“We discussed broader issues on development and the president is taking some very bold economic reforms in allowing for a flexible exchange rate.

“We are focusing on agriculture and we pledged to offer all the assistance that we can in that area and as the president is trying to stamp out corruption and to recover external funds that may have been illegally obtained and are sitting in bank accounts around the world.

“As he continues to work to see that the security forces inside Nigeria are abiding to professional and human right standards, what we have pledged is that we will partner in any way that we can be helpful,” President Obama said at a briefing after the bilateral talks.

“America is willing to help in any way it can to facilitate a reduction of conflict in the Niger Delta region, a major oil-producing region, but one that has been mired by a number of militant organisations that have appropriated or siphoned off the oil revenues.

“The president, I think, is wisely heading a delegation to bring varying stakeholders together and try to make progress on that front. We want to be helpful in any way that we can,’’ 

My advise to my colleague as activist, critics, parrots and myopic Nigerians on current present Nigerian progress vs challenges; is to please be very honest and objective on using all kinds of words that is not for the development of Nigeria. 

May God bless Nigeria. Ameen.
