Fellow Nigerians, Buhari’s campaign portrays him as a man who is a visionary, a man who is going to uplift society, a man who is going to bring light to darkness, growth to decay and be a huge ray of sunshine on a rainy day.

Nothing could be further from the truth, for Buhari is the living embodiment of doom and gloom. As Head of State, his destructive persona did not spare a single vibrant national institution.


One of the hardest hit segments was the educational sector, even in areas as mundane as feeding students, Buhari brought destruction.

Here is a story from the New Nigerian, from Friday June 14, 1985, 18 Months into Buhari’s Tenure.

Titled ‘Meals Now A Luxury’ it states inter alia:

“Three square meals have become a luxury in the nation’s institutions of higher learning. This followed the withdrawal of food subsidies by the Federal Government.

Mr. Godfrey Dale, President of the University of Port-Harcourt Students’ Union told the NN Parley that most students now make do with one or a fraction of a meal a day.

Giving details, the student leader said students had coined phrases such as 010 or 001.

“010 means breakfast zero, eat lunch, dinner zero, 001 stands for breakfast zero, lunch zero and eat dinner,” Mr Godfrey Dale explained adding that 011 is for those “buoyant enough to have two meals.”

“Also as a result of the hard times, more students are forgoing the luxury of eating meat with their meals while others virtually live on “bread and ice water.” Mr. Dale said.
He lamented that life on the campus was very hard and that students “are now actually eating crubs.”

He said many students were compelled to become vegetarians.

…(He said) things were made worse for students by the government’s decision to make their parents shoulder responsibility for tuition and accommodation.

He stressed that in view of the rising unemployment, it was difficult for parents to take up such additional responsibilities.

“They are now telling our parents to pay school fees, they are asking them to cater for our accommodation, they are no more subsidizing food. Where are we going to get all this money?”

Being a semi illiterate himself, it is no surprise Buhari had no problem destroying the tertiary education sector, with many of his negative legacies still a part of it today.

Interestingly enough, as bad as Buhari claimed the Shagari government was, by the time Buhari was booted out, Shagari’s era was perceived as having been infinitely better for the average Nigerian.

Rewarding Buhari, a deacon of destruction with the presidency, is like rewarding a drunkard who pissed on your carpet with an additional bottle of whiskey. It’ll make him happy, but won’t bode well for you.

Thanks you for reading, God bless you and God bless Nigeria.

Why have this not hit d front page yet?

The government should feed University students as part of austerity measures?

. . . and, has Jonathan been able to adequately fund our universities?

The difference between the two is like light and darkness. Pls, who built schools for Buhari's Almajiris?

I don't get it Again.

His actions back in the day seemed kind of anti socialist. The by force vegetarianism , payment of tuition and hostel accommodation and all that.

Now he's suddenly socialist in his leanings.

We really need defined ideologies in our parties. I look forward to the days when there'll be well defined leftist and rightist parties. I look forward to the evolution of APC and PDP into ideological movements.

GEJ till 2019...
