Four Things Trump And Buhari Have In Common -- BBC by MrAnele(m): 9:14am On May 01, 2018
Since Nigeria's President Muhammadu Buhari met his US counterpart Donald Trump yesterday, BBC Igbo has been looking at four things the men have in common.

1) Assumed office in their 70s
Mr Buharị was 73 when he assumed office in 2015 and Mr Trump was 70 when he came to power last year.
(See my signature for Updated list of oldest African presidents)

2) Their elections came as a surprise
Mr Buhari was Nigera’s first oppostion leader to win an election - never before had a sitting president been defeated at the polls. In the US, Hillary Clinton was tipped to win the 2016 election, but the US billionaire and Republican candidate claimed victory after a string of formerly Democratic states swung his way.

3) Troubled relationship with the media
President Trump does not hide his disdain for journalists and the press in general. Mr Buhari, a former military ruler, is equally as wary and only makes policy statement when he is outside the country, tending to shun local media interviews.

4) Known for their gaffes
Mr Trump's blunt language on Twitter is infamous and he is alleged to have used the word "shithole" to describe African nations – though he denies being racist . Mr Buhari has had equally embarrassing moments. He once responded to criticism from his wife by saying she belonged in his kitchen and earlier this year upset Nigerians by suggesting young people were not hard working.

Okay. Let's talk about what they don't have in common.

1) One is well educated, one is certificate less.

2) One is a successful business man, one is a failed business man.

3) One is fighting terrorism, one is promoting terrorism.

4) One improved his country economy, one destroyed his country economy.

5) One says truth, one is a liar.

6) One has a good team, one has a very bad team.

7) One puts country first, one put his tribe first.

cool One a true human being, one is a cloned being.

9) One does not persecute critics, one hates critics.

10) One is not corrupt, one is corrupt but a pretender.

11) One is Democratic, one is autocratic.


Kindly add yours my people.

Trump would easily gst a second term. The people who hate him are the same people who hated him before his election.

As for Buhari, it's almost a similar story, the only thing that can stop him from being re-elected is the pedigree of the candidate presented by PDP.

Igbo will not stop talking bad of Yoruba people and yet their life depended on Yoruba to some extent. This is BBC Igbo service, just as we have BBC Hausa, BBC Yoruba, BBC Russia etc but did anyone notice the BBC Igbo is based in Yoruba land, Lagos ? One would expect BBC Igbo to be based in the east . Awa ni baba baba won . tongue tongue tongue tongue
