This comes as Nigeria voted to keep Iran on the United Nations Women Rights Commission.
My contact in Nigeria wrote: “It’s all about their selfish interests. We who are trying to stay alive are termed models of tyranny, I guess. Imagine how Biden’s comment shatters the hopes of all the victims of Fulani/Buhari’s terrorism and their families. I guess we are all models of tyranny for opposing Buhari’s ‘democracy.'”
“Biden to Buhari: You‘re a model for democracy,” Vanguard, December 15, 2022:
President Joe Biden of the United States has praised President Muhammadu Buhari for his efforts in deepening democracy not only in Nigeria, but also in Africa.
The US President said this on Wednesday in Washington during his meeting with leaders of six African countries slated to have elections in 2023 on the sidelines of the US-Africa Leaders Summit taking place in the US Capital.
President Biden said he had followed the trajectory of the Nigerian leader since 2015 when he was elected President from being an opposition leader at a time he (Biden) was a Vice President. He added that it was very heartening that Nigeria is quite a model for democracy, especially the fact that President Buhari is not seeking a third term.
President Biden therefore encouraged President Buhari and the Nigerian electoral umpire to continue to be totally non-partisan….
Peacelover says
Biden – imbecile,first word that popped to mind.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
Not just Nigeria’s vote in the UN, but the fact that their military – which is muslim dominated – is quietly allowing Boko Haram and other jihadists to terrorize Nigerian Christians and other non-muslims, and turning that country into a de-facto islamic state
In fact, the sooner Christians in the south try to re-run Biafra, the better
Raja says
Infidel,
Since the Islamic states compete with other about who is more Muslim than the other, your idea is very much plausible. How come no one from “secular” world has mentioned anything about the slaughter of infidels in Nigeria.
Wellington says
“How come no one from the ‘secular world’ has mentioned anything about the slaughter of infidels in Nigeria.”
For my money, Raja, the reason why is that Western secularism is a gigantic idiot and hypocrite posing as something wise and noble. It is neither. The more the West strays from the Judeo-Christian tradition, the worse it gets. The fact that an agnostic like me has to note this is dispositive of just how far the West has fallen since the 1960’s.

‘ The more the West strays from the Judeo-Christian tradition, the worse it gets.’….spot on or in other words,you said it{the truth}

A person of conscience notices such things. Being ‘regligious’ is no such guarantee, any more than being an agostic. If a person can reasonably assess fact from fancy, and dig a bit beneath the plywood, as it were, one can reach a firmer divinity. The judeo christian tradition and culture does need to be reaffirmed, but not by fiat, but by examples of conscience.
Peacelover says
‘How come no one from “secular” world has mentioned anything about the slaughter of infidels in Nigeria.’…………I wonder the same thing Often.
Wellington says
+1. I remember being in high school when Biafra was created in 1967 and which fledgling state lasted until 1970. At the time I did not really know why said state was created. But now I do after studying Islam for over half a century.
Oh yeah, another “matter,” to wit, Biden gets one more thing wrong. What a monumental doofus he is. The USA now has a complete fool as President, and who is also a creep, a liar and a jerk. What a monumental ass he is.

I may be mistaken, but I seem to recall that one of Obama’s campaign people was the campaign manager for Buhari’s campaign in 2015 against the incumbent, Goodluck Jonathan, when Biden was VP. I believe Obama also gave Buhari his endorsement.
Goodluck Jonathan had brought in a South African mercenary fighter/leader to drive out and defeat Boko Haram. They were making excellent progress. Then Buhari came in and canceled their contract.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
Nigeria pretty much went from Goodluck Jonathan to Badluck Buhari
tgusa says
Nigeria is a model for democracy. A cautionary statement if I ever heard one. Bonhoeffer was right when he wrote, “stupidity is a more dangerous enemy of the good than malice”. I guess Dietrich had not encountered people like Joe, stupid and malicious.
I am shocked and amazed that Joe didn’t mention his ancestor who was captured and sold in to slavery way back in the day.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
He was probably lost during the march from Soweto to Robbens’ Island 😈
tgusa says
Probably. I also heard that 2 of his ancestors landed on the beach at Normandy and 4 of them were killed.

Biden tells Nigeria’s Buhari he is a ‘model for democracy’ as Nigeria votes to keep Iran on UN women’s rights panel
……………………………………….
Good god, what a fool. I guess Nigeria’s genocide of Christians and animists is a “model for democracy”, as well…
tgusa says
Jihadists killing Christians and others in Nigeria. Let me guess…Joe and the establishment want to fund both sides. DC warmongers never saw a war they didn’t want to get us in to or have us fund. Merry Christmas!
Mark Spahn says
“President Buhari”: I wonder whether he’s related to the famous hadithist Bukhari.
Walter Sieruk says
That completely untrue statement that Joe Biden to the President of Nigeria is further proof of what every informed people already know about Biden’s real character . Which is the he is a pathological liar that we shouldn’t expect anything else from him but him specking lies.
In other words, Joe Biden is such a chronic liar and he has been lying for so many years, that now lying is his nature. Biden’s a chronic liar. Biden has been a liar, is now a liar, and will in the future continue to be a liar.
Scotsman48 says
I guess this ”leader” of Nigeria is allowing the slaughtering of Christians in his backward Nation because all those Christians are against Democracy and the Fulani islamic madmen are all in favor of Democracy.
Do the people pulling the strings behind Old Joe actually tell him what happens or what is actually happening in the country of the person he shakes hands with.
Thats not a trick question.
Alkflaeda says
It seems that, ultimately, Mr Biden’s notion of democracy is government by a preferred group, not by all of the people. I am reminded of the line in Animal Farm: “All animals are equal but some animals are more equal than other animals.”
Walter Sieruk says
That totally false statement that Joe Biden said to the President of Nigeria is further proof that he is a pathological liar
Vatandas says
Biden and his administration are absolutely ridiculous.
