"Investigate how the Nigerian Embassy in Washington, DC and Ebony TV organized the Buhari Town Hall meeting"

The invitation to this program that was titled "A Meet & Greet with President Muhammadu Buhari in Washington, DC" was put online by the Ebony TV, the main organizer of this program for all the interested Nigerians to sign up online to attend. Many Nigerians that are living in America and Canada signed up online and got their confirmed invitation letters to this program by email. These Nigerians then made all the necessary preparations, such as, booking their hotel accommodation, arranging their transportation, taking leave from their work place to attend this program.

At about 6 PM EST on July 21, 2015, the Ebony TV started sending out cancellation emails to those invitees without given them any official explanation for what has suddenly happened. Many Nigerians who got these cancellation emails called the customer service representative of the Ebony TV that was listed on their invitation letters to find out why their invitations were cancelled. The customer service representative of the Ebony TV responded to these Nigerians that the original plan was never to put the invitation for this program online in the first instance and that the number of interested Nigerians that signed up online for this program prevented those "special selected Nigerians" by the Nigerian Embassy from getting their own invitation letters to this program that was planned for only 160 Nigerians. The action of the Ebony TV is fishy, shady, questionable and cloudy in nature. The invitation to this meeting was then replaced with the special invitation letter from the Nigerian Embassy that was made available to those specially selected Nigerians who have special connections or relationship with the Nigerian Embassy officials.

Furthermore, the other Washington based organizations, such as, the United States Institute of Peace (USIP), the Corporate Council of Africa and the American Chamber of Commerce where President Muhammadu Buhari was invited as the main guest made their own invitations open and public to any interested Nigerians or members of the American public online and on first come and first serve basis and with transparency. 

At the moment, there are estimated one million Nigerians in America today. A survey that was done by Houston Chronicle few years ago identified Nigerians as the most educated group in America. When the Indian Prime Minister Narenda Modi visited United States in 2014. A similar program was organized by the Indian Embassy for the visiting Prime Minister to meet the members of the Indian community in America. The venue of the meeting was not in a small hall of the Indian Embassy in Washington, DC, The meeting was held at the Madison Square Garden in New York and with over 18,000 Indians in attendance. Indians from all over United States and Canada graced this special occasion.

It is an international embarrassment that Nigeria, the giant of Africa failed Nigerians in America with the organization of this program by Ebony TV and the Nigerian Embassy in Washington, DC. I am appealing to President Muhammadu Buhari as a Nigerian that lives in America and on behalf of those affected Nigerians in America and Canada to immediately investigate why the Nigerian Embassy distributed the invitation to this program in a shady manner and then prevented many Nigerians from seeing their President that they love, cherish, admire, supported and voted for on March 28, 2015.

"BERNIE SANDERS AND DONALD TRUMP :TWO INSURGENT PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES"

Socialist Bernie Sanders and Billionaire Donald Trump

Donald Trump has sucked out all the oxygen in the room and he is politically suffocating the other GOP presidential candidates from the race. He has taken all the media attention from his rivals. He has enough money to run his election without using the donors' money. Donald Trump is now leading in all the polls. Donald Trump is beyond the control of the GOP's leadership who cannot cage him, tame him or sanction him for his racist, unguarded and divisive comments. He has now launched public and untold verbal attacks on the other presidential candidates writing them off as failed politicians, beggars and political nonentities. Donald Trump has the political option of derailing the GOP's hope of capturing the White House in 2016, and if he does not get the GOP nomination at the end of the day. Donald Trump plans to run as an independent and a third-party candidate that will take away significant votes from the GOP in 2016.

On the other hand, the socialist Bernie Sanders is the center of attraction in the democratic party today and among the party's presidential candidates for the White House in 2016. He has the media attention following him around. He is pulling the largest crowds to all his campaign rallies in this ongoing election circle and in both the blue and red states. Bernie Sanders has also dominated the Facebook and Twitter with his populist message. He is rising in the polls faster than expected. He has the largest donation-base of over 250,000 donors that are more than each candidate from both parties. He has raised enough more that can make him competitive across America.

The populist ideologies (breaking up the Wall Street banks, taxing the billionaires and corporations at the higher tax rates, free tuition in public colleges, raising the minimum wage to $15 an hour, expanding the social security benefits and social services, advocating for immigration reform, combating the climate change, police brutality and mass incarceration of minorities by the American justice system) that Bernie Sanders promote are selling like the hot cakes across the length and breadth of America in 2015. Bernie's presence in the race is the biggest political headache or stumbling block to the anointed and yet to-be-coronation of Hillary Clinton, the candidate of the Wall Street banks, corporations, mainstream media and democratic establishment politicians.

So far, Bernie Sanders has pulled the largest crowds in both the blue andthe red states in this 2016 presidential campaign circle across both political parties' presidential candidates. Bernie Sanders pulled 5,500 in Burlington, Vermont, 8,000 in Portland, Maine, 5,000 in Denver, Colorado, 10,000 in Madison, Wisconsin, 2,500 in Council Bluffs, Iowa, 11,000 in Phoenix, Arizona, 8,000 in Dallas, Texas and 9,000 in Houston, Texas. If Bernie Sanders does not win the democratic nomination, he has the option of running as an independent candidate the way he has run for all his elections to date in his political career that spans over 40 years as an independent and democratic socialist politician. This development has the potential to prevent the democrats from continue in the White House as its official occupant beyond 2016 through Hillary Clinton. ‪#‎FeelTheBern‬
