PRESIDENT BUHARI MAY BE THE FIRST AFRICAN PRESIDENT TO RESIGN ON ACCOUNT OF ILL HEALTH.

Strong indications have emerged from the presidential villa that ailing Nigerian president Muhammadu Buhari is set to make world record by seriously considering resignation as the president of the country due to his inability to effectively pilot the affairs of the country as a result of ill health.

The meeting by three former military Heads of State Generals Olusegun Obasanjo, Ibrahim Babangida and Abdulsalam Abubakar in Minna, Niger state on Tuesday was to consider two strong burning issues before allowing President Buhari to turn in his resignation letter to the National Assembly.

The three former leaders who met in Minna under closed doors consider the former speaker of the House of Representatives and current Sokoto State Governor Alhaji Aminu Waziri Tambuwal and immediate past Kano State Governor and serving Senator Rabiu Musa Kwamkwaso as possible vice president to Prof Yemi Osinbajo in the event he takes over.

President Buhari had mulled the idea of resignation with the three former leaders in close confidence which necessitated the Niger state impromptu meeting.

Another strong issue discussed at the Niger meeting according to credible source was whether Prof Osinbajo will want re-election after completing the tenure of president Buhari in 2019 and the meeting resolved to meet with the vice president to seal the agreement in a written document under a witness that he will complete the remaining two years and go to pave way for the emergence of a Northern candidate by 2019.

A credible source at the Presidential Villa who pleaded anonymity told our correspondent that president Buhari has made up his mind to resign and he feels fulfilled that his aspiration to rule this country again has been achieved, in addition to the anti-corruption fight and the war against Boko Haram in the North achieved under his leadership.

“He has also set record as the first Nigerian president to defeat an incumbent and would be happy to be the first president in Africa to resign voluntarily on account of ill health. Apart from the three former leaders, the Vice President, the Attorney General and Minister for Justice and the National Security Adviser are the only officers who are fully aware of the presiden’st plan to turn in his resignation.”

President Buhari returned to the country on March 10th 2017 after spending 49 days and has not been seen in public functions. Also,for three consecutive times,he has not presided over Federal Executive Council meetings where key decisions for the country are taken which is a clear indication that he is not physically fit to pilot the affairs of the country

“PMB is confident that his vice Prof Yemi Osinbajo is capable of transforming the country and continuing with the anti-corruption fight in the country, he demonstrated his ability when PMB was on vacation” the source said

President Buhari according to the source has given the three former leaders the opportunity to select a credible Northerner that will deputise Prof Osinbajo and seal a deal with him that he will only complete this term and leave .

“The assignment will be completed before May 29th,2017 when President Buhari will clock two full years in office.The letter will [then]be made public while Osinbajo will complete the remaining two years and retire” the source hinted

Tambuwal is considered for the position of vice president because of his youthful age, performance as House of Representatives Speaker and governor of Sokoto state as well as his acceptability in not only the north but across the country while Kwamkwaso who equally performed creditably well as Kano state governor is fronted by Olusegun Obasanjo

*WHEN WE STOP LAUGHING*

Someone posted on Facebook "Chibok girls are gone, Chibok boys are next" and the types of comments that dominated the comment page were "lol", " lmao", "rotfl" etc. We all laugh at our problems instead of getting angry or extremely sad.

Psychologically and scientifically, laughing kills depression, but its excess kills something else; "the brain". I believe we can only go forward in this country when we stop laughing at things that should rather get us annoyed or make us sad

Some crazy Nigerians have learnt animation and graphics design not to make money, buy to make fun of their fatherland, yet we laugh. Hardly will you attend any social event in Nigeria without a comedy show on the programme. Comedy isn't bad, but Nigeria comedians compose their jokes base on problems affecting Nigeria; bad roads, money looting, unstable power supply, chibok girls, illiteracy, bribery, corruption, examination malpractices, fraudling etc

Seeing a long educative post on WhatsApp and Facebook sometimes annoy us because there will not be any funny part in it. Just imagine how much we have run away from educating ourselves, we only care about how to develop our lifestyle, and not our intellect.

In Nigeria, we don't see ourselves as one; if a problem isn't general, we make fun of those who are affected, if the problem is general, everyone is satisfied and we all make fun of ourselves most especially when it comes to the issues of Inflation and unstable electricity.

Government is defined as an institution that sees to the affairs and welfarism of a state, but Nigeria government makes her people suffer, make fake promises, gives false hopes and all we do as the victims is to sit behind our smartphone/computer screens and make unreasonable comments on media. We even embrace foreign series movies yet we keep neglecting and badmouthing ours, without thinking of how to help. We laugh at ourselves instead of raising a peaceful protest to remind the government that we still exist; perhaps they might have forgotten.

Some Nigerians will even say "Since the government we voted has disappointed us, let's wait for four years and someone better will take his position." WTF!!!

In a typical democrazy, the government should fear the mass and respect their decisions. That doesn't happen in this nation where we claim we practice democracy. An artist even called it "crazy demo". This people in governance should not be blamed; if you view the matter from my perspective, you should know that the mass is to be blamed because we all govern the country as implied by democracy. And a politician will always be a politician.

Singling out the faults alone will not change a thing about this country until we are ready to take a bold step. Be frank about Nigeria issues, learn and know more about your country and start thinking of what you can offer, laugh less and pray for this Nation.

I believe *when we stop laughing, Nigerians will discover themselves.*
