An outpouring of emotions by Nigerians has occurred following a report by Financial Times that US President Donald Trump referred to Nigeria’s President, Muhammadu Buhari as “lifeless”.
The controversial US President was quoted as saying this when the duo met in the White House last April.

Buhari went abroad to call us criminals and lazy. So, if Trump calls him lifeless, nothing spoil.

So @realDonaldTrump called Nigeria’s President @MBuhari “a lifeless person” and said “I don’t want to meet him again”! This is the same person @OfficialAPCNg is promoting for a 2nd term? No wonder our economy is so lifeless that 10 million Nigerians lost their jobs! #RenosNuggets

When d Economist called GEJ an "ineffectual buffoon," Buharists cheered. When Buhari's social media aide fabricated a fake, hilariously error-ridden quote of Trump praising Buhari's "integrity," Buharists cheered & even started calling Trump "Baba."😂Now he says PMB is lifeless..

Trump reportedly called Buhari “lifeless”. Again, perhaps if Aso Rock was more forthcoming about the nature of his illness (and the medical prognosis) there’d be more understanding https://t.co/7wemqaeNuw

After the bogus, ‘’first African leader to meet the U.S president’’, same U.S president didn’t even rate your African leader. Hé didnt even only disrespect him, he totally annihilated his existence – not even deserving to be seen as a human being. He called him lifeless.

Every US President has access to high-level, top-secret, intelligence reports on major situations around the world. Rather than laugh at @realDonaldTrump's calling of President Buhari "lifeless", we should ask if there's something he knows that the citizens of Nigeria don't. pic.twitter.com/TYeHzaaP6k
