The National Security Adviser, NSA, Nuhu Ribadu, has berated the Canadian embassy for denying the Chief of Defence Staff, CDS, Christopher Musa, and other army chiefs visas.
Ribadu said the North American country “can go to hell”.
The Cable reports that Ribadu spoke on Thursday in Abuja at the maiden annual lecture of the National Association of the Institute for Security Studies, AANISS.
According to the report, the NSA was reacting to comments by the CDS, who narrated how he and other top military officers were supposed to be in Canada for an official assignment on Wednesday but were denied visas.
Musa was quoted as saying that the denial is a clear reminder that the country must “stand on its own, stand strong as a nation and should no longer be taken for granted”.
“Every disappointment is a blessing. Yesterday, I was meant to be in Canada. There’s an event to honour our veterans, those that were injured during battles, and we were meant to be there,” Musa said.
“We were invited with our team. Half has gone and half has been denied. It’s very disappointing.”
Reacting to the development, Ribadu expressed displeasure at the incident, but commended the CDS for speaking about it.
“Thank you for the courage to say Canada denied you visas. They can go to hell,” the NSA said.
“Even though it’s painful, it’s disrespectful, but we are peaceful and strong and I agree with you that it is time to fix our country.
“Yet, this is another reason we work hard to make Nigeria work.”

Why would Canada not refuse an entry visa to the Defence Chef Musa Christopher after he rubbish western media and the world in an interview in Al Jazzira that Nigeria Army constantly carried out crimes against humanity in any of their operations against Boko-Haram terrorists and members of criminal organisation responsible for kidnapping. This will tell everyone in Nigeria that western world are responsible for causing our national security problems, they recruit, finance and give intelligence informations to these criminals to destroy the country because Nigeria Army is doing a great job to eliminate them from the society. Western countries don’t want Nigeria to succeed, they want the country to always be in political turmoil so that the country will become ungovernable. They are only interested in their own selfish interests- - take all our minerals resources without paying for them. This’s why I applaud the newly Confederated government- Mali, Burkina-Faso , Chad and Niger Republic for chasing away all foreign troops from their country because their military were in their bases not to fight against jihadists but to exploit their resources for free. These Africans countries has already directed all foreign humanitarian agencies to quit their countries because they compromised their function and look for avenues to destabilise governments either by associating our politicians or creat political turmoil. Trump did a good job for suspending the USAID from operations, after discovering monumental damages they have done to many countries and their leaders, how journalists around the world are being enumerated to carry out faux reporting.
