'Our democracy is improving steadily, that's why I emphasize free and fair elections at all times' - President Buhari



President Buhari in Abuja said Nigeria’s democracy is steadily improving with deeper understanding of the culture and tenets among the people, and strengthening of the institutions that guarantee free and fair elections.

Receiving Governor General of Canada, Her Excellency Rt. Hon. Julie Payette, at the Presidential Villa, President Buhari said he saw the evolving strength of democracy in the country by contesting for elections three times before winning at the fourth trial in 2015.

President Buhari told the Governor General that Nigeria had been learning from the mistakes of those who practiced democracy for a longer period, and by looking inward at its own peculiarities. “I emphasize free and fair elections at all times,’’ he said.

The President said the bilateral relations with Canada will continue to be improved considering the huge interest of the country in Nigeria and growing economic ties, with many Nigerians schooling and working in the country.

President Buhari said Canada played a brotherly role in helping displaced persons in the North East, following Boko Haram insurgency.

In her remarks, the Governor General said Nigeria and Canada enjoy a warm and strong partnership that has translated into ease of migration, large trade relations and cultural exchanges.
Rt. Hon. Payette, who is an astronaut, said it was important for nations to pool resources together to start exploring the benefits of space in providing solutions to some problems on earth.

Five Coca-Cola Secrets You Probably Don’t Know of

Coca-Cola is one soft drink that has been around for a long time but how much do you know about this iconic soda brand that is the favourite of millions of people the world over? It Was Advertised As Medicinal In the 1890s, Coke wasn’t just advertised as a refreshing, bubbly drink as its ads did make claims like “A Delightful Summer or Winter Drink. For Headache or Tired Feeling. Relieves Mental and Physical Exhaustion.” It Might Have Invented The Six-pack When you think of picking up a six-pack, beers might be the first drink that comes to mind.
