President Buhari should give Nato stringent conditions that have to be met if they want African support for their ongoing spat with Russia

First of all, Nato should agree to a meeting chaired by Nigeria involving Africa’s top 10 island states. This meeting will agree a continental tourist package which Nato must sign up to, guaranteeing at least 10m visitors a year:

[1] Madagascar 
[2] Seychelles 
[3] Cape Verde 
[4] St Helena 
[5] Sao Tome & Principe 
[6] Comoros 
[7] Mauritius 
[8] Reunion 
[9] Canary Island 
[10] Madeira

This Africa-Nato Tourism Agreement will be straightforward. All participants need to do is agree that all payments will go into a pot which shall be split 11 ways each month.  It is from this pot that money for investment will come. Here is how the package will look:

[1] Tourists will be offered a 10-island holiday involving spending at least one night in each location 
[2] Tourists who want localised holidays in just one part of Africa, will be free to opt for that 
[3] Air Peace will be responsible for all flights and transportation 
[4] Tourists will not need a visa for such holidays 
[5] International hotel chains, hospitality companies and restaurant chains will be given 50 year land leases to expand into these islands
[6] Nigeria will float a dedicated cruise company to facilitate this island-hoping holiday for those interested in making the trip by sea 
[7] Tourists who come on holidays for five successive years will be granted automatic citizenship allowing them to settle in any of these islands if they so please 
[8] International companies who hold annual general meetings or staff get-togethers on any of these islands will get a 20% discount 
[9] Ship captains who operate this cruise line that services the islands will be licensed to conduct weddings aboard their ships 
[10] One division of the Nigerian Army will be located to each island to offer security
