A full assortment ( of an infinite variety) of Nigerians will be there, ranging from the former Good Luck Jonathan Appreciation Day sycophants ( sour grapes) understandably, even more disgruntled with Buhari today than they were with him before he came to power -

also possibly and not unexpectedly, representatives of various Nigerian terrorist organisations, affected populations or their surrogates, specially there to represent and reflect their various interests ( and their share of the national )

sure to be there too, quite relaxed, Buhari die-hards like me,

will be lining up in their afolabi

agbadas

in the Chidi spirit :

Bloated egos, bellyful,

flaunting, adjusting and flourishing their agbadas

Bristling with pomposity

wearing the flag on their heads : all kinds

of green and white headgear : naija nation on their brains

some to meet others to greet

him.

What ( burning ) issues are most likely to be discussed?

Nice song

So, how did the "meeting with Nigerians" go? Yes to the sanctity of life, no to Boko Haram and no to the blatant disregard of the atrocities perpetrated  on Shia Muslims in Zaria. On that and the need for peace and tranquility, they were in tune and all agreed.
Less harmony about how severely or visciously/vindictively the war against corruption may be waged (and retributive justice pursue and overtake them)   - on that not all agree  - some close relatives, beneficiaries and affiliates in crime backpedalling, in retreat from the idea of total annihilation : the extermination of corruption and the uprooting of every vestige of it - a pretty tall order, and that would be non-tolerance. Any other understanding/compromise a close companion of connivance

Tomorrow is 19 September 2016, which means the meeting is yet to take place.
