Buhari will WIN next elections. He is not under any pressure to reveal illness. That is western culture. If any PDP politician goes on campaign and says the President should reveal his illness, watch the faces of the audience. It is offensive to 80% of Nigerians Muslim and Christians to talk about illness, health, death or human life sensitive matters in a cavalier manner.

It is not election defining not to reveal illness. Buhari makes it is own rules and it works for him. He did not participate in election debates and heavens did not fall.

It was the failure of the PDP and Jonathan in government that brought in Buhari as president via universal suffrage wining landslide in the election. Nigerians had no alternative means than bringing in Buhari who was considered corrupt zero to manage the affairs of the country
Buhari must win the 2019 election having no credible and corrupt free challenger for now.
I am optimistic that his health condition has astronomically improved and by God's grace he will outlive his detractors and completes his second tenure as president of nigeria.
Corrupt politicians that don't like him have taken the social media to tarnish his image by hinging on his health condition after they failed woefully to stop him during campaign feining that he had fake or no school certificate from his secondary school attended

the problem is not his sick, wether he reveal his sickness or not is irrelevant, the issue he is a hypocrite for going against the very thing he used as a campaigning point, on how he will stop medical tourism, and revitalize our health sector. This man can save us this shame by inviting the UK based medical team with they machine, drugs, and family to come to Nigeria and stay through out his tenure but instead he prefers to be a globethrother

CNN is a stupid TV station, and dont forget " that your enemies friend is your enemy'". Since Trump started associating himself to buhari, CNN has started salivating over irrelevant issues, forgetting that buhari once travelled over 4 months and they did not mention anything.is now they want to expose Buhari. People are dying everyday in Nigeria this useless TV station did care to tell the world. What is more important between Buhari's health and the lives been lost in the daily in the middle belt.

Re: Buhari Under Pressure To Reveal His Illness-- CNN by Hakeem12(m): 7:03pm On May 10, 2018
When it is without knowledge, forget it.

"To President Muhammadu Buhari’s ardent followers, certain spectacles are heartwarming emblems of his simplicity, but, they are in fact, bad PR. The image of the President of Nigeria watching a 32-inch TV, for instance, should be nobody’s idea of austereness neither should it deserve the fuss it attracted. The same can be said of his farm pictures which have surfaced for the second time in two years. In 2015, the pictures of Buhari visiting his farm shortly after becoming President should have been an alarm. There was little about that farm that spelled technological innovation, entrepreneurial creativity, or any perspicacity that suggested he had what it would take to stimulate national development. When the pictures resurfaced in 2017, very little had changed. The man still keeps cows the same way our grandparents kept domestic animfarming

Even more unsettling is the fact that we live in a globally connected world where other world leaders intuit our leaders and our collective mental development from the way we narrate ourselves. Buhari shared the picture before leaving for the One Planet Summit in France. He would have preempted his own arrival in Europe with a confirmation that the largest conglomeration of Black people in the world is stuck in a time warp. Where does one even start? In 2017, Buhari hopes the picture of himself growing fruits and vegetables, and practising animal husbandry at a level that barely transcends subsistence farming, has any discernible potential to solve the nation’s food crisis? The man has lived through similar specious programmes like “Green Revolution,” “Operation Feed the Nation,” and “National School Agriculture Programme,” yet his grand vision for Nigeria is still non-industrialised agriculture? Even the Imo State Governor, Rochas Okorocha, reduced official work days from five to three so that people could take up farming. If, with all those efforts, Nigerians are still unable to feed themselves, it could only mean that previous solutions were cosmetic and the fundamentals of farming problems in Nigeria still need addressing.

What is the point of Buhari’s advocating more people to take up farming when we have problems of land tenure system, desertification, storage facilities, manufacturing, electricity, poor road access to urban markets where the produce would find a market, and perennial food wastage? The issue of food wastage in Nigeria was raised by the Agriculture Minister, Audu Ogbeh, last year when he observed that 30-40 per cent of our farm produce end up wasted. Our problems are not food production in itself; it is that failure to create structures that can distribute what we have sufficiently. Nigeria does not need to be an agrarian economy where we will hang a hoe on our shoulders, and “go back to land” to survive. What we need is knowledge and the political will to execute smart ideas. It is thanks to such cultivated knowledge that a state like California, partly situated in the desert, can be the food basket of the USA. The state earns an average annual income of $50bn on farming alone, and that is about twice the entire budget of Nigeria with all her oil revenue. Yet, less than three per cent of their citizens are involved in farming. How do they do it? Technology, innovation, and creativity. When the yams Nigeria sent to Europe sometime this year with so much fanfare were returned as not up to par, our cultural deficiencies were immediately obvious. What the world wants to buy is between our ears, not in the ground.

Developed economies of the world have so industrialised that machines have replaced the humans who used to work on slave plantations. People who travel through Libya to Europe arrive there (for those who do anyway) to find that the jobs available for Black labourers are mostly sex-based. With smaller land mass and population than Nigeria, countries like The Netherlands, Italy, and Germany make far more money on food exports than Nigeria makes on oil. They apply creative solutions for maximum productivity. Today, developed countries have a lot of time for leisure and can concentrate their intellect on the less rudimentary issues such as development in areas of health, environment, climate change, human rights, and the elevation of the human soul through cultural productions. That is the standard Nigerian leaders should be nudging people towards, not further prod the land to yield food when we have not demonstrated enough sagacity to handle what we already get.

There are problems with our leaders brandishing an unreconstructed mind, living 19th-century realities in the 21st century. Their anachronism, and the archaic ideas they deploy explain why our problems seem extremely complicated. From building roads that last to planning budgets that are not fraught with statistical failures, we recycle pretty much the same issues annually. Buhari’s government has learned to hide behind jaded excuses such as “corruption is fighting back” when what fights back so viciously is the failure to evolve, to think outside the debilitating circumstances that created the problems we are trying to solve. We are overwhelmed by the weight of our troubles, and very little is changing.

The recurring problem of corruption in Nigeria underscores how the inveterate approach we have used to tackle these issues contributes to their resilience. This year, we have been confronted with several high-profile cases of corruption that are psychologically draining. Nigerians that have been so frequently outraged at some point can barely summon enough anger over emerging cases of corruption. It is almost safe to conclude that people no longer care about these issues anymore. People are drained, and it is almost impossible to keep up with them as they are being churned out. The Mainagate started as a drama but right before our eyes, it metamorphosed into a tragedy, a tragicomedy, and then a farce. The probe that resulted in the House of Representatives was painful to follow; the bureaucracy by which our lives are being governed is not only outdated, they are so faulty they admit the same problems year in and year out. The systems are loose, decidedly uncoordinated, and internally programmed to fail. One reads through the drama that happened at the National Assembly during the probe and wonders if the ineptitude displayed by the main actors who run the country at the top echelons is not a deliberate attempt to undermine Nigeria.

While that is still sizzling, then came the weighty accusations exchanged by the Finance Minister, Kemi Adeosun, and the Securities and Exchange Commission DG, Mounir Gwarzo. There are too many details in the allegations both parties are bartering that fail to add up. At some point, one wonders if we are ever going to overcome our problems or we are fated to be this way. Are these people governing or they are toying with the control buttons of governance? One becomes considerably soberer when one realises that these same issues of corruption and what not were what we fruitlessly tackled under the PDP for 16 years.

Amidst all these, we have a President preaching subsistence farming thus confirming that his approach to complex issues is oversimplified solutions that have no viability in present times. In case the Presidency forgets, the rest of the world follows what happens in our country and assesses our capacity to resolve our issues through our leaders and the way they reason. The images of our President canvassing subsistence agriculture are, in that wise, a poor commentary on our collective intelligence and our capability to solve problems. I understand Buhari has to appeal to his followers who get easily titillated by his supposed earthiness but they should be mindful that we also live in an interconnected world where local idiocies have global implications. Our country builds universities like pure water factories and yet we act naïve; practically asking the world infantilise us.

I hope it made sense to you. Peace out. Hakeem
