"Someone may be wondering and ask; why is Buhari and Archbishop of Canterbury always hanging out whenever he, Buhari goes to London? Well, I will attempt to answer that question. Don’t panic, it is not an Islamization or Christianisation agenda.
"President Muhammed Buhari and Archbishop Justin Welby have some things in common.
"The duo first came in contact in late 70s when Buhari was minister of petroleum and Justin Welby was financial executive director in the petroleum industry, for the French corporation Elf Aquitaine in charge of West African region. Obviously, he was based in Nigeria.
"While Buhari was running the oil sector for Nigeria, Welby was running for France. Both men were in charge of the oil sectors that was worth billions upon billions of Dollars. Imagine being in control of oil sector controlling billions of dollars in the 70s.
"Buhari and Welby could have enriched themselves beyond imagination and be among the world celebrated richest men of today.
"But, No! Not Buhari or Welby. Both were contented with what they have and were not ready to abuse the privileges given to them.
:"While Buhari left public service to become a small cattle farmer in his village. The archbishop on the other hand left public service to become an ordinary priest with no portfolio.
"Both have no oil well, no trace of corruption to them, no personal oil company and no personal businesses.

"You can choose to serve and retire home with a clean hand & conscience. Then God who sees the good deeds done in secret will reward you openly.
"Today! Justin Welby is the president of Anglican communion world wide, while Buhari on the other hand is the president of the most populous black nation on earth.
