I watched at first with consternation and then pure amusement as – hitherto assumed – sensible people went around replying me with “sai buhari, and sai baba” everytime I tried to remind them how useless, dangerous and totally inept buhari was in 1984 when he ruled, having stolen power from Shehu Shagari.
These guys could just not be reasoned with. They justified why they should be flogged on the streets and shouted “reset Nigeria.”
I remember asking why they are buying the “I am poor” narrative when the man has his whole family living in London – an expensive city. They gave me all sorts of excuses and told me to go fvuk myself.
Oh, I lost many friends! Every single person that blocked me, I knew them – and I am waiting for them anyway. I knew this day would come, you can’t mask nonsense forever.
I told them, every nation deals with corruption. Any candidate whose central manifesto is fighting corruption is himself a bigger thief than those he wants out. Nations deal with corruption and yet progress with their development. Nobody halts their economy to fight corruption. It’s akin to Lagos state saying nobody should go anywhere for two weeks because there is an operation designed to catch some armed robbers. It would be absurd, yet it made perfect sense to all these guys.
The fools fell in love with a myth and a smooth criminal. A dangerous blood thirsty religious fanatic that threatened bloodshed and supervised it every election he was involved in..so what exactly was any sane person expecting from a buhari government?
A buhari who (amongst several of such) received $400m from Abachas loot – the man he insists never stole – and looking for how to steal it, and finding no means, decided to do so in broad daylight. Someone just last week thinks a crime committed in public glare is not really a crime. So buhari stealing $400m in cash by supposedly handing it out in an untraceable and non-auditable way is not really theft, fools!
So buhari continued stealing – in unbelievable amounts – in cash and in broad daylight. Nigeria Air, theft from Federation account, theft from NLNG accounts, bogus contracts that include a railway to Niger republic and pipeline to same. Theft by doubling petrol consumption on paper and paying subsidy on the bogus quantity without appropriation or capture in the budget. Theft as has never been done before in the history of Nigeria.., they kept shouting “buhari go harder.”
One argued that if all the money is wasted, there would be nothing left to steal. He wanted to be righteously hungry.
Then came fake rice production figures. These people would not hear it that he figures beliied international data. They became the biggest producer of rice on Loretta oloshi and the Funmi Adewola pages. They ignored reality and kept sharing fake pictures of nonexistent rice paddies and bag pyramids. For the first time, rice prices kept going up in a supposed rice surplus nation, even Adam Smith turned in his grave.
Oh, and the corruption these fools sacrificed their friends and families to fight? The side chick of their baba was given an ATM to freely spend cash. That clause “pass through a financial institution,” does not apply to her. She doled out cash in the open and writes off billions as distributed to nonexistent people. The main wife Aisha, she suddenly was able to afford insanely expensive designers bags and clothes. buhari himself, he now has a helipad in his house in Katisna, his cows suddenly stopped family planning and began increasing in numbers and his son was able to afford powerbikes and expensive cars to race on the streets of abuja.
Our foolish compatriots, some of them have died by fulani herdsmen, some kidnapped and killed by fulani bandits, others are in DSS dungeons, some are just simply missing and a vast proportion are now faffing around, jobless and hungry.
The corruption is still there, their roads are worse, electricity is still not available yet the tariff has now been more than doubled. VAT has been doubled, stamp duty imposed on their savings accounts, the landlords now share their rent with the government. Rice has become unaffordable for them, naira has fallen in value from below 200naira to a dollar to almost 500n to a dollar now. Some have paid ransom to buhari killer cousins, many can’t sleep with two eyes closed. There is still no water. In fact buhari wants to tax the water they managed to bore for themselves.
And the Christians amonsgt them who forgot biblical injunctions not to flirt with wickedness and be yoked with darkness such as buhari, buhari is coming for their churches and its finances.
I said in 2016 that buhari would tax you to stupor. If you think this will stop, you are dreaming. There is nothing new under the heaven. The only way corrupt governments have money to steal in the absence of resources they can pillage is by taxation. This is right from biblical times. For a man whose entire existence has been dedicated to stealing and reaping from where he didn’t sow the same way killer herdsmen graze on other people’s farms, what did you think would happen when you helped him steal power again?
If you think “let me endure till 2023,” you are even a bigger fool than we can see. Listen, buhari has no plans of going anywhere. That mofo, he will stay put, he is digging himself in and carving a fort in Abuja.
Just like 1984, he is blaming middlemen for high food prices. Ok, so who do we blame for the high petrol prices and increase in electricity price? Who do we blame for the bad roads and insecurity? I gave a parable of “the dilemma of the wall builders” in 2017. Never help your enslavers build the walls of your prison but dem no hear.
There is nothing you know about buhari now that you didn’t know in 2015, 2016 and 2019. Yet you insisted on following your folly.
The worse of people are those living abroad who campaigned for buhari in 2015 and especially 2019. Now that you have helped to impoverish your relatives and friends in Nigeria, oga wetin you gain? Don Jazzy wetin be your gain? Pastor Tunde Bakare wetin be your gain? Prof Pat Utomi, Fela Durotoye, Yorubawood, Kwam1, Jagaban, etc, buhari and friends don cash out o. You the singers, wetin una gain?
My other indefatigable mumu su baba crooners, I know you will rationalize this.
Let me kuku help you.., abeg, buhari go harder joor! she le stupid nI.
