So President Buhari's early morning broadcast didn't go down well with some people, and one of those is Charles Ogbu, a Nigerian man and a Guardian Newspaper Columnist. 

In his open letter, he pointed out some flaws in President Buhari's speech, and how he (Buhari) resuscitated and fueled the current Biafra agitation and even the activities of the Niger Delta militants. 

Here's his open letter to the President Buhari; 

"OPEN LETTER TO PRESIDENT BUHARI.

By Charles Ogbu.

Mr President, Sir,

This open letter is necessitated by issues of urgent national importance not unconnected with your 3 minute recorded broadcast to Nigerians this morning where you stated that Nigeria's unity is settled and not negotiable.

Mr President, Sir, I wasn't exactly born with a talent for political correctness so I like to assume your permission to pay you the courtesy of being blunt.

First, I want to register my displeasure that you, a mere servant and employee of the Nigerian people, could derisively address your employers and the same people paying your salaries even when you are hardly at work, as "my dear citizens" instead of "my fellow citizens".

That derisive opening line in your speech lend more credence to an already established fact which is that you are an arrogant victim of messiah complex who sees his people, not as his employers whose wishes he must harken to, but as lesser mortals and slaves who are his to do as he pleases. Even Emperor Nero didn't address Romans in that condescending manner.

Mr president sir, we are not your citizens. We are not even just your fellow citizens! We are your employers! We are your boss! We pay your bill. We feed you, Mr president. Talk to us with some respect!

Mr president, when you told us how you discussed with Ojukwu in 2003 and agreed that Nigeria's unity is non negotiable, what exactly did you think the reference to the late Biafra strong man would achieve?

Did you think that line would magically address all the institutionalized grave injustices in the system which you've made worse with your open display of tribal bigotry, vindictiveness, raw hatred for people from a particular section of the country and criminal disregard for the same constitution you swore to protect??

That you believe the unity of over 180 million people is something you, a Fulani man and Ojukwu, an Igbo man, can sit in your small sitting room somewhere in your small village of Daura and conclusively discuss, says a whole lot about how much value you attach to the so called unity.

As a free citizen of a free world and one of those paying your salaries, I find that statement criminally offensive and hopelessly disappointing. But even more disappointing is the fact that even after spending billions of our tax money and over 100 days treating an undisclosed ailment abroad, you seem not to have learnt anything from your numerous administrative blunders and trailer load of un-presidential utterances, actions and inactions which in most part, are responsible for the mess we are in today.

Mr President sir, let me remind you that you, it was, not Nnamdi Kanu, who resuscitated and fuelled the current Biafra agitation. Even the activities of the Niger Delta militants were all birthed by your tact-less, bigoted, vindictive and mostly common-sensically bankrupt utterances and actions.

And to prove that you are an unteachable ethnic jingoist with an iniquitious sense of national unity and an atrocitious sense of governance, all through your 3 minute address,

You didn't tell your employers the kind of ailment that kept you away from your duty post for over 100 days and gulped billions of tax payers' money.

You didn't announce measures to resuscitate the economy which your criminal ineptitude and analogue economic plans largely played a part in destroying.

You didn't mention measures you plan on taking towards addressing the grievances of the secessionist groups even when you admitted some of their grievances are genuine.

You didn't make any assurances towards calming freyed nerves considering the mood of the country.

You didn't categorically condemn the series of terror your fulani brethren are visiting on Nigerians. Instead, you played it down as mere herdsmen/farmers clashes.

You didn't even categorically condemn your siblings (Arewa Youths) for publicly threatening genocide on Igbos living in the North come October 1st, 2017.

You did none of the above.

Instead,

You spent almost 50% of your broadcast threatening social media users and aggrieved citizens who are only asking you to treat them as equal stake-holders in the Nigeria project or allow them quit this oppressive union. The other 50% was wasted on tales about your meeting with Ojukwu where the duo of you supposedly decided on behalf of over 180 million of us that the unity of Nigeria is non negotiable.

In a nutshell, you spent over 100 days abroad on medical tourism on tax payers' money against your campaign promises only to come back with nothing but a trailer-load of insult, derision and threats for the same citizens who paid and are still paying all your hospital bill and salaries even when you were hardly doing any job??

Quite frankly, Mr President, that speech would easily pass off as one hell of comedy except it was a tragedy.

You've simply proven that you are a man far detached from reality. It would seem you are still stuck in 1985. Indeed, a leopard never changes its skin.

Now, my dear president, as one of your employers, Iet me gift you with some piece of advise:

First, Nigeria is not a nation unless we've all decided to adopt a very confused and lopsided understanding of the term, "nation". More importantly, our unity as a people is a farce. It doesn't exist. You cannot discuss the negotiability or non-negotiability of a unity that only exist in your imagination.

How can there be unity when you, Mr President, went to a foreign land and publicly promised to discriminate against those who didn't vote you with your infamous 97%_5% speech?

Where is the unity when you were busy gifting boko haram terrorists and the marauding herdsmen with a juicy amnesty package and military protection respectively at the exact time you were, and still are, visiting the unarmed Biafra agitators with festival of bullets?

Most importantly, Mr President, mentioning "unity" and "non-negotiable" in the same sentence betrays a very poor appreciation of the queen's language. If it's unity, then the powers that bind the parties together must have been birthed through negotiations. In which case, any talk about the non-negotiability of such unity becomes the height of conscientious idiocy bothering on the fringes of lunacy. If it's unity that was a product of force, then it's no unity at all.

Mr President sir, the clause "our unity is non-negotiable" is an Oxymoronic expression.

You cannot threaten people of diverse cultural, religious and language background into nationhood!!!!

Unity cannot be forced!

On your threats to agitators, Mr President, you proved you lack basic understanding of what the issues are. It is not just the southeast that is aggrieved, both the south south, south west and even the North, your own region, are all aggrieved as examplified by the October 1st quit notice and threat of genocide against Igbos living in the North. Every section of the country is aggrieved. Rather than proving you are too bloodthirsty for dialogue, initiate a workable time-bound plan towards restructuring this country in such a way to enthrone justice, fairness, equity and merit.

Restructure this British contraption now!

Or,

Watch the whole country collapse under the weight of its own internal contradictions.

The fastest way of escalating an agitation is by trying to suppress it rather than addressing the issues that birthed it.

Mr President, sir, I am not unaware of the fact that in the coming days, we are going to be witnessing more killing of the unarmed pro-Biafra agitators and series of arrests, abduction and incarceration targeted at social media users and your political opponents but I have a message for you, sir, just as we survived your brutality between 1984-1986, We Will Survive You!

This, too, shall pass!

I wish you exactly what you wish Nigerians.

Love from
Charles Ogbu."

These people criticizing pmb speech are ntin but foolish people trying to gain relevance with his return do you expect him to directly call out on issues? I thought u were suppose to be educated.. don't you know those words were written and checked by trained persons... do you people always have to capitalise on every issue and make errors out of it.. omokri said he should have told Nigerians how much he spent on his medical vacation instead of his speech ffk said he insulted Nigerian citizens.. statements like this just make the presidency to be ignoring all forms of critics even when the real ones comes they would just ignore... in fact let this sound as a note of warning to all that love criticism.. if the country becomes tough for leaders to govern I swear Evans own go be play cos na all of una we go deal with... I realized today that since obasanjo we've never had a bad president BT his cabinets and opposition are the ones spoiling the country for their political gain....

Nigeria ,

Nicely crafted

Someone should please help me ask Buhari.

If unity or a union is not negotiable, why did he divorce his first wife.

The unity of Nigeria is not negotiable is the most Dumb statement of this century.

ok

Dont mind the morronic imbec.ile.I use to avoid insulting this walking bag of skeleton. But after this morning speech, it became pertinent that this man has no good plans for Nigeria as a whole.

Jobless people everywhere you go

This is a high intellectual piece, but its unfortunate Mr President cannot comprehend that essay.

A leopard and its colors are hardly separated. Hate speeches, threats and intimidation are his trademarks.

We are observing.

The world is watching.

Do we have a president in this caged forest?

After today's speech from Buhari, It is obvious and confirmed that, he has nothing I mean 100% nothing to offer. It said !

You see your life?
Mr ogbu pointed out all his perceived Buhari errors and criticized it one by one judiciously.
You on the hand just proved to the world that you are a zombie.

Rising unemployment rate, poverty rate, food and general prices, as well as import restrictions and forex constraints have led to generalized youth disillusionment with the Buhari administration.

Another masterpiece from Chief Charles Ogbu. Let me go to his Facebook page to hit likes.

Who is Charles Ogbu? Guess another disgruntled and frustrated Ipob pen warrior.

I really feel for you guys as your resentment for Mr President is seriously taking its toll on you guys mental health..

Whosoever that is beyond your reach is beyond, no amount of hate and resentment that can bring such person to your level.

Charles Ogbu thanks you sir. Well said.
