Meanwhile, many Nigerians responded to Mr. Kerry’s tweets in defiance to the purported hidden agenda of the American Secretary of states in which some exerted and implied that the secretary of states’s visit was to reaffirm the Obama administration’s unflinching support for the North and to encourage them in their effort to marginalize the rest of Nigeria and if possible islamize the country.
@JohnKerry you missed the point Kerry. Your visit to out country is almost useless coupled with the strange affiliation to the North. Shame
