He even scared to appoint ambassador to America because he don’t want to anything that will make him have conversation face-to-face with Trump this why he have not appoint ambassador to USA.

@OnyejiekweEmeka

You're asking this question as if you don't know the background of your president? When a child offends his father, he chooses to stay away from him for fear of being flogged thoroughly. I think I have made it clear to you. Even the VP of Nigeria is afraid to visit Trump. Yes nah.

There is an agenda by the Nigerian government to help these terrorists invade our villages and communities unchallenged.
