Buhari's son, Yusuf literarily broke the social media after his picture cropped up online in company of his father, Gen. Buhari, Thursday morning.
Donned in a flowing traditional apparel and a matching cap, Yusuf and his sister, Zaha were captured by the sharp lense of photojournalists at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Thursday morning after touching down from the Queen’s land in company of the father, Buhari.
The fair-complexioned young man sparked media war as many Nigerians have been wondering about his whereabouts before now.
In fact, some social media users threw jabs at him for failing to show up before and during the election but only to appear like FC Barcelona’s Thomas vermaelen, who didn’t turn up for club until they were to lift the trophy.
Others believe that Yusuf’s appearance before the March 28 presidential election would have attracted more votes for Buhari.
However, some citizens blamed the president from hiding his son from the general public, saying that there was more to that than meets the eyes.
A banker who gave his name as Ibrahim said, “I never knew Buhari had a son. I was shocked when the picture appeared on twitter this morning and many people were talking about it. To me that is not fair. Why did Buhari choose to hide his son from the people he’s coming to rule? We remember that before Obama was elected president of the United States, he made his two daughters, Malia and Sasha public and the world saw them. To me the general didn’t do well if that is truly his son.”
Another Nigerian, who gave her name as Sheyi said, “I have been having a serious time on twitter since morning. Nigerian ladies have been fighting over Yusuf, who is said to be Buhari’s son. Well, not until now, I never knew Buhari had a son that is this handsome. Buhari should explain to us why he hid his son from us”.
On his part, Michael, a media practitioner said, “But who told us that is Buhari’s son? The general didn’t introduce him to us as his son. We saw Buhari’s family picture and the so-called Yusuf is not there, so what is this argument all about. I think we should wait for Buhari to tell us who the guy is before we conclude. And if he’s truly Buhari’s son, then I am disappointed”.
NE also bserved that there is serious fight among Nigerian girls on whom will marry the ‘new prince’.
A twitter user said, @AmyEvabeautiful said, “Igbo girl turned-Hausa. Now you can call me Haija Amaka Yusuf Buhari. #HAYB …. call me Aboki, I go answer.”
Even Nollywood actress, Halima Abubakar could not hide her feeling for Yusuf as she also tweeted thus: “Is he (Yusuf) looking for me?”
Ohamiri also said 'Meanwhile, that Buhari's son is so fine. I can be a second wife for him'
Make una leave the family alone.
ReplyDeleteIf you had known earlier on, the same Nigerians will say the family too much, him (Buhari) go steal our money to take care of his large family.
Imagine even those that refused change has finally accepted that change is the only permanent thing in life.
May God bless Buhari, his family and the entire Nigerians who loves Nigeria and want to make it better.
Thanks Emma, Nigerians can be funny!
DeleteAmen. Well said
DeleteWhat has Buhari's private life got to do with the problems bedeviling Nigeria? All we care about is Chang whether Buhari has a son or not I care not. What I desire is a responsive and responsible leadership.
ReplyDeletePerfect response ! Nigerians really need to change the way we think. Laying emphasis on shallow things won't take us far. #my opinion
DeleteYOUR RIGHT MY DEAR. He kept him outside because he was planning violence if Jonathan could win the election so that the boy will be abroad while the poor abokis will fight for him. what a man
DeleteHe kept him outside because he was planning violence if Jonathan could win the election so that the boy will be abroad while the poor abokis will fight for him
ReplyDeleteTrue talk, I cant agree less! On point anon on point!
Deleteon point poor abokis GOD will kill dem all for kill us
DeleteYour mind is perverted full of evil. You can't even put your name because you are a bad thing to happen to Nigeria. If you can't stand Buhari's success go & kill yourself. O de like you.
DeleteIT IS A WELL KNOWN FACT THAT GMB OUR PRESIDENT IS A TROUBLE MAKER WHO PERHAPS HAD PLANNED TO CAUSE TROUBLE IF HE DID NOT WIN THE ELECTION LIKE HE DID IN THE PREVIOUS YEARS AND THEREFOR HAS KEPT HIS CHILDREN OUT OF THE COUNTRY. HE WANTED OTHER PEOPLE'S CHILDREN TO DIE FOR HIM. THAT IS THE KIND OF PRESIDENT NIGERIANS WANT. THIS IS THE STARTING POINT.
DeleteI really do not see how the the appearance of this boy could better Nigeria. I dont bloody care! Nigerians are after what Buhari can offer to better our lives.
ReplyDeleteExactly. When all hv settled, he went t bring him so that he will make him public during d swearing in.
ReplyDeleteHe brought him back because since some stupid Nigerians believes he is a saint and can not steal, may be,the son will help to do the stealing for him.Anyway,let's see the change,one naira must be equal to one dollar,in his first 100 days in office.
ReplyDeleteUr right.
DeleteNigerians are on it again! Can Nigerians first give a positive interpretation to anything first before criticizing? I think we should look at the simplicity of the man only wanted to keep his private life from the public eye.
ReplyDeleteStop and think. How does this affect the price of Garri in the Market ? Or the volume of PMS available for use by motorists ? it is obvious most folks would rather mind other people's business than the more important task of minding their own. If you feel so concerned about the family/limelight , you can sign up for adoption or tell your Papa and Mama to run for the 1st office.......Chikena
