#NigeriansAreNotCriminals: Twitter roasts “brainless” Buhari over “senseless” comment
Here’s what Buhari reportedly told the international media:
Some Nigerians claim is that life is too difficult back home, but they have also made it difficult for Europeans and Americans to accept them because of the number of Nigerians in prisons all over the world accused of drug trafficking or human trafficking. I don’t think Nigerians have anybody to blame. They can remain at home, where their services are required to rebuild the country. We have an image problem abroad and we are on our way to salvage that.
And here’s how his countrymen are taking it:
#NigeriansAreNotCriminals I make my money legally! I am not a thief nor have any criminal record! This President is a Creche President

My Government might be filled with rogues, I am not one of them.
