Meet needs of Nigerians abroad, Reps member tells foreign missions, embassies
On
By Adeola Badru
The Chairperson of the House of Representatives Committee Diaspora, Mrs Tolulope Akande Sadipe K. has said that Nigeria’s foreign mission and embassy must strive to meet the needs of Nigerians abroad and improve their services to them.
She specifically said that the foreign affairs policy reform must address the issues of improved quality representation as the embassy is the first point of contact between Nigerians abroad and their government, adding that the impression being observed by Nigerians in the Diaspora is a poor representation of their government.
As the Buhari presidency has enabled the very worst of the Fulani Islamist agenda, and heated up the country in furtherance of these treasonous agenda, the rhetoric has become extremely violent everywhere in the country.
Only a few men have dared to speak to the unity of Nigeria, when the head of the state himself has proven to be a shameless ethnic irredentist.
In the face of the manifest failure of the Nigeria State and its security forces to protect the lives and properties of the victims of Fulani militias, and in the face of the objective realities that would suggest that the president condones the actions of these violent criminals by his inactions, considering the bewildering directive of the Defense Minister to grieving victims, to defend themselves, it is becoming increasingly difficult, to speak to the unity of a country that is being killed by its ruining crass.
