Buhari, whose two terms thankfully ground to a constitutional halt in May.

An economic agenda drawn from the dusty pages of a 1970s protectionist handbook failed to do the trick. Despite Buhari’s promise to tame terrorism and criminality, violence flourished. Despite his reputation for probity, corruption swirled. FT

Jesus didn't die so we could have religion. He died so we could have a deep, intimate, personal relationship with God.

Yes, I thought it was a rather underwhelming appearance and reception for Nigeria at the opening ceremony. Now, I understand why. Shame on the organizers for exposing Nigeria to ridicule once again
