Honestly, I've never cared about how our ambassadors fared in their places of assignment.
But I believe with @realFFK’s outing in South Africa, there is a new page towards our image and place in the global community.

Speech during the inaugural Nigerian Fair, Nigerian Consulate, Johannesburg, South Africa, 7th November 2026.
I was honored to be invited as the Special Guest of Honor at the inaugural Nigerian community fair which held at the Nigerian Consulate in Johannesburg yesterday afternoon.
I commend the efforts of Ambassador Nini Okey-Uche, Nigeria's Consul-General in South Africa, and all those that collaborated with her to make this such a great event.
May the Nigerian community in South Africa continue to go from strength to strength.
