I think i cn read more comments in d oda room

chrisj2:
Good article but this is almost unheard of in many political circles even the more progressive Western democracies: a first lady should not get herself that much involved in Real politics... It is dangerous and very distracting!

So what if she has political ambitions a la Hilary Clinton, it still does not excuse her almost un-endorsing (publicly) her husband on the issues of a second term - that should have been a private thing: she went too far with that part of her comments.

What she has expressed is not new but is she expressing them as a concerned citizen or as someone who is now thinking above her station as a quasi-political actor. Some people have said that she is frustrated that some of her own choices were not favoured or that she felt ignored... If this is true, she is in danger of losing her shield and respect as the First Lady and the privileges and good that she could do with that post without being involved in dirty party/governmental politics...

I am not a big fan of Buhari because he had not done or delivered much before people start hailing him - typical! However, I do agree that he is a big modern powerful Muslim man - one that has allowed his spouse to have some independence and a voice where he did not need to have accommodated such things. She was gaining independence and even prominence well before Buhari came back into government...

Lastly, I do accept that Buhari was joking but it was a tasteless joke especially in front of Merkel and in front of the World's Press. What convinced me that it was a joke was the 'other room' part of the comment; that was a bit blue and dirty...

Just dey watch!
She is thinking too much of herself.
I hope she remembers that she is a second wife and the Broom that was used to sweep the first wife, is still somewhere in the Ceiling, incase Buhari needs to use it a second time.

For all her noise, nobody knew who she was, if not for Buhari becoming our President.
The Okoro plant is never taller than the one who plants it"! (Its a proverb which emphasis that the Planter can always cut down the okro plant, incase its getting to tall to handle )

Then you didn't watch the campaigns. I vividly recollect her in Edo state making a rally speech. Go research before you make comments.

If you think that is what won Buhair those votes, then you are plain wrong.

People voted Buhari because they know his impeccable antecedents and believed him when he said he will fight corruption.
Till date, he has not disappointed on that singular promise.
That is what earned him the presidency.
people were tired of the "America will know" Govt

And how come we have never read of one of your CRITICISMS of your husband, here on Nairaland?

Okay, you do it inside your house but you support Aisha doing her own on BBC?

SMH.sssh

All these fake girls sef, married indeed. [/quot oppe]

Unfortunately for your myopic opinion, I am married and have kids. Calling me fake will not change that. Now shush...

was her name the one on the ballot box ?so many people influenced people to vote for him...why is her any different?

megareal:

Are you sure you watched the campaigns? Tell me how Buhari could have gotten the women's vote if his wife didn't go along during campaigns. Or your angst is simply that a woman dared to criticize your almighty President?
Btw, I am married and I do advise my husband on workplace issues and he listens because he is enlightened and values women. Now get out of here and stop quoting me.

does Clintons husband need to go out with her to influence the male vote ?her going or not is inconsequential....her name wasn't on the ballot box....do you criticize your husband in public too for not following your work place advice ? Abi na you give him the job ?

megareal:

Your opinion, hold unto it.

Thats the truth.

It's a game of chess. The queen ♕ more powerful

Bubu was right in his own eyes, you guys forget that in Bubu's era that was when they used to say a woman's place is in the kitchen, it was in that era that girls were subservient to boys, it was in that genre that women were denied education in preference for the boy child.

When the zombies fought to install Bubu through crooked means they obviously forgot that the man was analog not in the digital age. I wonder what they expected him to say. By now he would be wondering what the hell did i say that was wrong. The man is just a monumental embarrassment to the nation. He just cannot change at this age, that how he has always been till the end.


ROBERT MUGABE QUOTE OF THE DAY!!!
“If your wife belongs to your kitchen and bedroom only, why do you waste your country’s scarce resources to travel to Imperial Germany to visit another mans wife, who does not belong in the kitchen?”‎ – Robert Mugabe (October 2016, International African Women Summit – Botswana)[i][/i]

I have a different perspective to this. Check this out!!!

As opposed to the opinion of many Nigerians, who have taken the critical issues in Nigeria’s first family, as new comedy lines and new cartoon arts, I will like to present an objective view on the issue. And also point out the fact that all Nigerians are involved in this. This is not a joking matter, and of course, not a stage play where Nigerians are the audience. This time, we are all actors, and we all have roles to play. Our audience is the whole world.
As a youth, I highly respect President Buhari as our leader. And I do not deem myself worthy of condemning the President or his wife. Thus, I am neither anti-Buhari or anti- Aisha. However, a few points are worthy to note.
Reactions have trailed the President’s claim in Berlin Germany of his wife belonging to the kitchen, the other room, his living room, and his total dominion he has over her. In his words, he said, “I don’t know which party my wife belongs to, but she belongs to my kitchen, and my living room and the other room.”
This statement is a response to the President wife’s (as she prefers to be called) warning in her interview with BBC, where she expressed her dissatisfaction about the people her husband placed in public offices and she warns that she won’t be part of the next election if the trend continues. “Things are not going the way it should when it comes to putting people where they belong. Most of these people that are occupying some agencies, nobody knows them. They don’t know our party manifesto, They don’t know what we campaigned for, they were not part of us completely. They don’t have the mission. They don’t have a vision of our APC. I have my own rights you know, to say how I feel about something. If it continues like this I am not going to be part any voting again” – she says. This may be an approval to the Senate President, Bukola Saraki’s, claim that there is a government within the government of President Buhari. Some people also believe that the government has been hijacked by a group of people.
However, the presidential spokesperson, Garba Shehu, said that the president was actually joking when he said that his wife belongs to the kitchen and the other room.
Maybe we should go back to history, both fiction and non-fiction. There might have been a bit of foreshadowing in Achebe’s Things Fall Apart. As he uses Okonkwo’s home to depict the Ibo society. As Okonkwo’s home falls apart the Ibo society also falls apart. We do not want our dear country Nigeria to fall apart. No matter our jestings and uncaring attitude. A house divided against itself cannot stand.
At this point, I feel every Nigerian should support the president and his wife. We need to lift their hands, as Aaron and Hur lifted up the hands of Moses. If this country falls apart, it will affect us all. So we need to pray for the President and his wife in whatever language we can speak, and in whatever religion we belong.
Also, history has never recorded conflict between a successful president and his wife beyond their country to the stage of world view. This write up is not a satire, but a call to Nigerians to pay keener attention to the president’s family. This issue on the world view is disheartening not just for the president but for all Nigerians.
Another world leader who had an open conflicting situation with his wife is Alberto Fujimori. His wife, Susana Higuchi, filed for divorce in 1995 after she accused his family of corruption and he accused her of “unloyalty and blackmail.” The public fight included him locking her out of the presidential palace and telling the press he was looking for a new wife “who is intelligent and has beautiful legs.” In 2006, he got remarried from his jail cell in Chile, where he was being held on corruption charges. This wasn’t on CNN, or outside the walls of Peru. Wikipedia says this about Fujimori . “A controversial figure, Fujimori ended his presidency by fleeing Peru for Japan amid a major scandal involving corruption and human rights violations.

The summary of this is that no world leader, after a major open conflict with his wife remains with an untarnished image. His decision also affects the people. Because when two elephants fight, the ground suffers. I am more concerned about the implication of this on the Nigerian populace.
