Many Nigerians who were bewildered by Wednesday’s assertion by Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, that President Muhammadu Buhari embarks on frequent foreign trips to correct the “pariah state” status the nation was tagged under the administration of Dr. Goodluck Jonathan, have condemned the assertion.
After the conclusion of Wednesday’s Federal Executive Council meeting, Mohammed had told journalists: “You do not run a country by being isolated and the personal presence of the president in many of these fora is very important because before now we were almost a pariah state and the two things that have been driving investments away from this country are terrorism and corruption.”
Many of the Nigerians who took to social media on Thursday morning and afternoon said it was high time the present administration settled down to bring the much-needed change it promised the citizens the 2015 general elections instead of engaging in blame game which will achieve nothing.

Does Lai Mohammed sometimes just sit back and laugh at his utterances/excuses after he makes them?
That man is one very big joke.

Our Media houses should just stop granting Lai Mohammed any interview. Propaganda is his oxygen too. Can we deny him already?
