Did officials at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in error of judgment compare Nigeria to America? So, how is Nigeria First a foreign policy? The point this newspaper has been reiterating, in this connection, is that foreign policy is more of a mirror image of the internal dynamics and conviction than a hunch of few persons at the foreign affairs office. Just as the military marches on its stomach, as is often said, a country’s foreign policy runs on the strength of its economy. Not by the ‘‘Nigeria First’’ slogan but be placing entire Africa as the centerpiece of its foreign policy.
