Wikipedia refers to karma as" a spiritual principle of cause and effect where the intent and actions of an individual (cause) influence the future of that individual (effect).
President Buhari has on many occasions played host to karma and the effects are open to us to behold.

Late December 1983, December 31st to be precise, Gen. Buhari alongside his right hand men overthrew the Government of Alhaji Shehu Shagari and threw most of the politicians of that regime into jail, slamming some with outrageous jail terms that were unexplainable . During his nearly two year regime, he wield the big stick and hit whoever he deemed fit.
Unknowingly, he forgot that power was transient and when karma came around in August 1985, General Ibrahim Babangida, his Chief of Staff and trusted ally turned the table against him. He spent an unplanned two years in jail but our Buhari remained unremorseful for his actions, what a strong headed man he is?.

On March 9, 2010, General Buhari (Rtd.) called on the Federal Executive Council to impeach the then President, Musa Yaradua on the basis of his ill health and incapability to lead . He maintained that this method was the only viable option out of the political logjam the country experienced then.
However, two months later President Yaradua kicked the bucket and normalcy returned to the land.
While he did this, it never occurred to him that 7 years later , Nigerians would come for his head for spending over a 100 days for medical treatment on two occasions within 2 years of being in office. Karma had indeed paid him a suprise visit.

The latest episode of the karma drama played out on the issue of fuel scarcity. In 2014, following the scarcity of petroleum products across the nation during the Yuletide , the APC , it's chieftains and General Buhari as he was called berated the Government of the day . It didn't mind the circumstances that precipitated that situation, they were only concerned about the nonavailability of the product and it's tandem effects on Nigerians who would be travelling to meet their loved ones.
Two years down the line, when the Government had started counting as one of their achievements, the availability of Petroleum products during the yuletide and flaunted this to the jealousy of the PDP, karma struck again. Nobody envisaged that the queues would return this Christmas as the only bone of contention between PENGASSAN and FG, that would have led to fuel scarcity had been settled amicably. Then it happened, in the twinkling of an eye and the country was thrown into a frenzy, the Government lost it's voice as there was nobody to blame this time around, their sparkling record had been stained.

No one has heard from Alhaji Lai Mohammed, President Buhari has sympathized with Nigerians, the NNPC has blamed oil marketers for racketeering ,PDP has cashed into this misfortune at least to remove some cobwebs on their image and Nigerians are suffering the brunt. The common man doesn't care about how this issue will be resolved,all he wants to see is a situation where he can comfortably enter any petrol dispensing station and get PMS at 145 Naira. However, we will always remember that karma has visited Buhari another time , how many times more? , we cannot tell.
