Hopefully, he gets into this meeting with more tact and sense than he seems capable of. Remember always, that this is a form of diplomatic courtesy. It is not an acknowledgement of some delusional super power status of your Nigeria. It is not a gesture that wants to tell the world, that President Obama prefers to do business with you, than with President Jonathan.
Hm!
I’m praying in tongue already!!
