American television news network, Cable News Network, CNN, has mocked Nigeria in its latest edition of “The Global Public Square (GPS)”, a foreign affairs show anchored on CNN by Fareed Zakaria.
Nigerian president Buhari has not been in the country for over two months and the news television in a query on its website on Sunday asked which “head of state from which country has not set foot in his homeland in over two months?”
It went ahead to tick an option with the name Nigeria as the correct answer. The options were given as Saudi Arabia, Cuba, Nigeria and Syria.
A screenshot of the mockery was tweeted by Chidi Odinkalu, Former Chairman of the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) who captioned it:
Reactions from Nigerians continue below.
President Muhammadu Buhari has been in London since May 7 on a medical follow-up. Some political delegations including the Acting President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo have been visiting President Buhari in London and have told Nigerians that the president is doing just fine and will soon return to continue his presidential duties.
I have been reporting on latest news from Nigeria for almost 10 years now. I report on every possible news area I come across, but always ensure my reports are compiled with dignity and fact to uphold my personal values and duty as a journalist

Nigeria is in state of war ethno-divisions and other vices, our Commander in Chief is comatose in London hospital thereby becoming a major tourist attraction patient in UK by our crooked politicians who are lobbying to visit him at the expense of the tax payers. I wish 1 million youths will rise up to occupy the National Assembly until all those political crooks resign including Buhari. This is the perfect time for Bloodless Revolution.

Many Of Those Who Are Calling For PMB's Resignation Based On His Medical Leave Would Not Resign If They Were In PMB's Shoes.In Fact I Know Civil Servants Who Are Far Above 80 But Keep Falsifying Their Age In Order To Keep Their Jobs.The Only Thing That Can Make Me Join The Call Is Incompetence.And I Think PMB Is Fast Proving That He Is Not Competent Enough.Really Disappointing.Disappointingly Hopeless.

JESUS SAID, HE THAT IS SICK, NEEDS THE PHYSICIANS. HE SHOULD ASK FOR JESUS AND JESUS WILL SEND THE PASTORS YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT TO HIM. BUT, HE IS A MOSLIM, HE HAS NO NEED FOR JESUS. SO, IF YOU LOVE HIM, TELL HIM TO CALL FOR THEM AT ONCE FOR PRAYER AND JESUS WILL HEAL HIM

MUST HE CALL BEFORE PASTORS PRAY FOR HIM CANT YOU PRAY FOR SOMEBODY WHO DO NOT CALL YOU, THE BIBLE EVEN SAY WE SHOULD PRAY FOR OUR LEADERS,, I BELIEVE IN MY HEART THAT THE PRESIDENT NEVER WISH HIMSELF TO BE SICK THIS WAY HE WANTED TO DO BETTER THINGS FOR THE COUNTRY........
