Given all the furore about Aisha Buhari's BBC Hausa interview and the President's response in Germany, it's quite amusing not many people even noticed the similarities with Winnie Mandela's case.

Aisha stated she didn't know the President's appointees into posts in the Nigerian government despite the fact that she had been married to him for 27 years ( fact check - she isn't supposed to know them that's why it is called 'democracy' and 'transparency'.
Her husband gave his own mocking response in Germany.

Note:

- Winnie Mandela is known as one of Africa's foremost female activitists and she campaign for 27 years while her husband was imprisoned by the white South African apartheid government

- Winnie Mandela publicly contradicted his statements for political reconciliation with former apartheid oppressors including when "she contradicted him while they were on a platform in Germany; she repudiated his call that the people of KwaZulu-Natal throw their weapons into the sea". (http://www.iol.co.za/news/politics/why-nelson-and-winnie-got-divorced-354079)

- Winnie even spoke out against xenophobic attacks against fellow Africans in South Africa

- at the end of the day the West and former colonial powers encouraged and supported Mandela's decision to divorce Winnie who spent decades campaigning for his release and justice for their people (today, the South African economy, for instance, is still not in the control of the majority)

- to further keep Winnie out of the limelight the press went to work justifying the divorce because Winnie had engaged in violence and was unfaithful; yet Mandela also had allegations against him too for years

Anthony Sampson, a close friend of Mandela and his official biographer, claims that he was a charismatic "ladies man" and even flaunted his female "political colleagues" in front of Evelyn. "There was another woman and this one started coming home, walking into our bedroom, following him into the bathroom," Evelyn claimed. "I declared that I would not allow it." Rumor has it that Mandela even fathered an illegitimate son by his secretary, Ruth Mompati, around this time. It was enough to Evelyn. They finally divorced in 1958 and she returned to the Transkei where she ran a shop. In a later interview, she remarked bitterly, "How can a man who has committed adultery and left his wife and children be Christ? The whole world worships Nelson too much. He is only a man."

The irony now is that our same former colonial masters who supported Mandela's decision to divorce and get rid of a female activist who refused to play to their tune would now try to get the wife of the Nigerian President to play a more contradictory role.

Or will they also support the divorce of Aisha Buhari?

How Africans quickly forget and are manipulated.

Hmmm, #RememberWinnieMandela ?

Buhari is being enslaved by Mamman Daura and his protege, the earlier he realise it the better for him. I doubt if he will be contemplating divorce! he laughed off the matter when asked about it.

Intelligent research... I love people like this..

Back to the matter..Aisha was angry and she used the opportunity to say her mind..the same he wld av been telling bihari and believed he isn't listening...forgetting that many presidents rarely make a decision on his own...

Bihari ants technocrats to had the offices and not politicians... But he didn't knw that Nigerians are readily corrupt and willing to steal with every opportunity!

Aisha is just being a woman.. fast to talk, slow to think..

Aisha made a nasty error talking rubbish
