You mean all the cars that took part in argungun festival are made in Nigeria? Fantastic. Mr President

Misplaced priorities. Simply hysterical!

This the young buhari, the jubril of our time.

This is encouraging but a misplaced priority.

People are being murdered by Fulani herdsmen on daily basis, you never give any scholarship to the family victims, Now you are so proud to give arugungu fish divers scholarship, to me this is basically incompetence.

Good to see STEM subjects promoted. However, they can never compete in today's world if sent to our local universities with obsolete equipment and laboratories to say the least.
