On his website, he said: "I wrote this yesterday about
President Buhari of Nigeria. There’s been a lot of interest in the blog in
Nigeria. I’ll answer a few of the key points raised, here.
First, if you’re a president then it’s up to you to show people you’re alive
and well – it’s not up to your people to prove the opposite. Every politician
in the world knows this. A statement from a PR guy doesn’t cut it. Angry
ripostes from supporters don’t cut it. Only your personal appearance cuts it.
Second, if you’re a president and you’re not well, then a doctor needs to come
out of the hospital and explain to your nation what’s up. This let’s everyone,
including your people and the markets, know if your alive at all, alive enough
to recover or have just sprained an ankle.
Unless these things apply, then there will be shenanigans. For example, a dead
person will be kept hooked up to a machine and advisers, politicians, traders,
all the people ‘in the know’ will be jockeying for position and none of the regular
people of the country will know anything about it. .
Nigerians have done themselves proud on the democratic front in the last few
years; this is no time to start accepting bullshit again.
Where’s the Nigerian media? Cowed, maybe? And where’s the UK
media?Uninterested, probably, because it’s almost entirely white – in
spite of many Africans living in London – and to most UK media folk
stories about Africa are boring unless there’s a big famine, terrorism, or a
war.
But in the end, this is about how Nigeria is on its way to becoming a
front-rank nation. That’s good news. Accountability to regular Nigerians about
the present situation with the president is a big, big part of that."

ReplyDeleteElmatosky you are the biggest fool I ever come across in my life.you have soo much hatred for the northerners,i doubt much if u ever attended any good sch.
ReplyDeleteElmatosky biggest fool.if you want stay till eternity
ReplyDeleteOnly looters and those who lost in the last election are praying For Buhari to die, one thing is sure, every one of us will die at an appointed time, those praying for him to die will surely die before him.
ReplyDeleteMust we always engaged in exchange of words instead of meaningful discussions on national issues. I sometimes wonder if this entity called Nigeria can still stay as one country. We are saddled with tribal,religion and party affiliation sentiments that it blind our sense of reasoning.
ReplyDeleteEnough of insults and cursing each other. Let us reason together,discuss our common problems and suggest meaningful solutions to it ad s way forward.
My questions here are;
ReplyDelete1. Has anyone prayed that Buhari should die?
2. Has anyone wished Buhari death?
What is the attack for? I am surprised at some comments, it seems some of us are just knowing the word barbaric.
Someone raised a vital point about the health of our president, it does not mean that the person is wishing him death or have prayed for him to die.
He said "First, if you’re a president then it’s up to you to show people you’re alive and well and Second, if you’re a president and you’re not well, then a doctor needs to come out of the hospital and explain to your nation what’s up.
Is there anything wrong with these sayings?
Let us leave religion and tribe and ponder over these sayings for the sake of our country.
Thank you
God bless you my brother Benneth Okeke, you have hit the nail on the head.
