Says Failure to Market Nigeria’s Crude Is Economic Sabotage The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) mocks President Muhammadu Buhari’s performance at the meeting with US President Donald Trump as embarrassing as he completely failed to project the economic interests of our nation before the American government and the world. It was alarming that President Buhari buckled in bilateral negotiation and failed to address the issue of the drop in the US purchase of our crude oil, which is the main stay of our economy. Nigerians and the business community were aghast when President Buhari could not market our crude oil to his American counterpart even when in the course of question and answer session, a leeway was provided for him, he off-handedly declared that he cannot “tell America what to do”. Also President Buhari had no answers to President Trump's stance that the US has not...

The Trouble With A Purposeless Agitation And The Need To Collapse All Structures In Support Of The Presidential Ambition Of A Young Achiever Like Dr. Datti Baba-Ahmed In 2019.  By Nnamdi Ukasanya I have always had solace in the fact that, in whatsoever one does, what matters is the result.
