And ungrateful Nigerians will tell you Buhari has not achieved anything. Yes! GEJ established Universities and Fuel was @ 87 but all of that is not close to PMB calling Bill Gates to get a congratulatory message. Atleast that call will translate to better improvement in economy. https://t.co/cO6jFQov2r

And you people will say this government has not achieved anything. Bill Gates' call to Buhari is a massive achievement. Watch how it will impact the economy. Before you know it, petrol will be sold at 50Naira per Liter, and Garri will be sold free.
