History is alive and well with the records of gross human right abuses, tyranny, first class bigotry and criminal disdain for democratic processes and procedures which characterized Buhari’s short but iniquitious stint in power some three decades ago.
That President Muhammadu Buhari lacks both the intellectual, mental and emotional wherewithal to preside over even an Umunna meeting in his Daura village has never been in doubt. He remains a pathetic excuse for a President. Even the dark Goggled tyrant, Abacha, wasn’t this terrible. Abacha was simply a thieving dictator and most of his tyranny were actually not unconnected with his desire to bury the June12 ghost. So there is a sense in which it can be argued that Abacha’s madness had a method.
But this man here??
He seems quite uniquely sophisticated in the ways of inflicting pain, misery, death, wars and woes on his fellow Nigerians. It does appear he enjoys it, too.
His is a govt deeply rooted in official roquery, banditry and brigandage.
Under this Katsina born ex-soldier, official bigotry, clannishness and demonic nepotism have all been institutionalized.
In a nutshell, President Buhari is running an apartheid govt premised on Northernization, Fulanization and Islamization. Ironically, even in his own govt, he’s but a pawn in the hands of the powerful #ScionsOfDanfodio calling the shot.
But,
This is not even my greatest pain.
My greatest ‘wonderment’ remains how 15million men and women, some of whom lay claim to superior knowledge and higher intellect, failed to see the Buhari fraud for what it has always been despite the signs that were all too glaring for even a blind man not to have seen.
History is alive and well with the records of gross human right abuses, tyranny, first class bigotry and criminal disdain for democratic processes and procedures which characterized Buhari’s short but iniquitious stint in power some three decades ago.
Practically everything happening under him today happened during his first missionary journey.
The tragedy of this whole thing is that most of the so called intellectuals who foisted this disaster on Nigerians actually witnessed the calamity that was his 1st coming. In fact, some of them were direct victims. Under decree 4 promulgated specifically to gag free press, Buhari jailed Tunde Thompson and Nduka Irabor for publishing stories he says were embarrassing to his regime. But in 2015, Tunde Thompson was in Buhari campaign team chanting #SaiBaba.
A tragic irony, isn’t it?
Even before 2015 poll, there were clear signs signalling the disaster that this man has always been.
So,
How did Professors, PhD holders and highly lettered men/women convince themselves that an ex-treasonous dictator who failed woefully even with a loaded gun and a suspended constitution in his much younger age was the right man to fix a 21st century Nigeria under a democracy with its attendant bureaucratic bottleneck???
Just how???
He (Buhari) didn’t initiate even a single economic program during his time as head of state.
For over 3 decades that he was out of power, he did absolutely nothing to improve himself in anyway. He never run any business except his 150 legendary homosexual cows. He delivered no lecture. Wrote no book and organised no workshop even if it is on islamization and Fulanization -his forte. He made no attempt to contribute to the society in any way.
All he did was come out every 4 years to contest, loose the election, engineer his minions to soak “Dogs and Baboons” in blood only to go back and wait for another 4 years.
In 2011, he contested on the platform of the defunct CPC which had only one state of Nassarawa, yet, he vehemently refused to concede defeat. Even when his supporters were killing Nigerians in a post election violence provoked by his pre-election utterances, Buhari rejected all effort by the govt of Jonathan to get him to halt the bloodshed by condemning the violence. In the end, over 800 Nigerians including youth corps members lay lifeless.
Yet,
Men who spent years suckling from the breast of knowledge swore that this same man was the political “Messiah” needed to gift Nigerians with Eldorado
How?
I’ve heard some ex-Buharists justify their Buharism by claiming that Jonathan’s incompetence made Buhari an option. But I believe its only a foolish car owner that will knowingly replace his incompetent driver with an unlicensed one who doesn’t know the position of the ignition key in the vehicle.
Education is supposed to equip one with the mental capacity to discern.
Yet, our Professors, Lawyers, Doctors and Academics all failed to discern the Buhari fraud -something Nkume -my illiterate village clown -was able to do successfully.
Could it be that our education is truly over-rated??
Indeed, ours is a broken Soceity peopled by men and women whose education remains an insult to knowledge and their wisdom, an affront on common-sense.
The Buhari presidency is to our collective shame as a people.
