President Barrack Obama of the United States
The Nigerian Senate has approved a budget of $50,000,000 to be spent on activities to mark US President Obama’s 50th birthday. Speaking to reporters, the Press Secretary to the President, Mr Reuben Abati, explained that as the giant of Africa, it is only appropriate for Nigeria to adequately recognize such a milestone birthday of one of Africa’s kids done well.
He however assured Nigerians that even in embarking upon this diplomatically significant project, the government has taken measures to save the country some money.
According to him, the original proposed budget was $75,000,000, but Mr President, ever the prudent leader, trimmed it down to $50,000,000, thereby saving the country a whopping $25,000,000.
He declined to answer questions on exactly what the planned activities are, who will be in charge of organising them, and if Mr Obama or any representatives of the US Government were aware of the plans, but he stressed that the project was not the president’s idea.

That's madness! The United States did not spend a dime to celebrate Obama's birthday why should Nigeria? If Obama's father was from Nigeria, the so called legislooters will probably mortgage the country to celebrate his birthday.

What have we to gain spending fifty million dollars on who shun us and humiliate us as the biggest black nation in Africa who gave us a low blow in groin. Many are in penury with no end in site, our health infrastructure, road, power generation all are absymal with nothing to write home about. This is just unconscionable and a big dirty slap on our face as a nation...................why
