A Nigerian journalist based in the United States has berated president Muhammadu Buhari following his 'attitude' to the killings of over 100 people recently in Plateau state.

The reporter identified as Joi John revealed she saw the humane side of president Barack Obama after she was a victim of the Hurricane Sandy (referred to as Superstorm Sandy) said to be the deadliest and most destructive hurricane of the 2012 Atlantic hurricane season.

She shared her thoughts via her Facebook page.

Our African leaders give the impression they want to emulate governance in the western world but when we need them to take a stand, they fumble. These random killings in Nigeria have gone on for too long and I find it disturbing that the Buhari administration seems to be handling the matter with kid gloves. The approach and response of a leader in time of a disaster or security crisis says a lot.

Let me take you down memory lane to August 2005 when Hurricane Katrina struck the United States. Former President George W. Bush was heavily criticized for his delayed visit to the Gulf Coast. He was on vacation at the time and the media roasted him for isolating himself. When he eventually visited, he muted all his critics with the empathy he showed the victims.

In 2012 when Superstorm Sandy hit New Jersey, I was a victim of that disaster. It was the deadliest and most destructive hurricane of the Atlantic hurricane season. That tragedy was a defining moment for the Obama administration. We saw the humane side of Barack! He was swift to board the Marine One. Television cameras captured him flying over the Jersey shore with Gov.Chris Christie to obtain a first hand insight to the devastation. It didn’t end there. When Obama met with the victims on ground, there were no hidden emotions.

These two instances may not be the exact scenario we have in Nigeria but a tragedy is a TRAGEDY! President Muhammadu Buhari’s disposition to these herdsmen killings has been nothing to write home about. It is highly insensitive to show up in a place of mourning with fanfare. I would want to see President Muhammadu Buhari roll up his sleeves and go out there to interact with these victims. Let the people see the humane side of your leadership. Reassure them of the government’s commitment to combat this issue and mean what you say!!

Helpless citizens are being massacred frequently yet no crocodile dance, no lion dance ...nothing. What we keep getting is Press releases upandan. How long are we going to continue like this? This matter must be tackled ruthlessly before things get out of hand across the country. ▪️ Joi John

Please you have to realize Mr Buhari is an old man and body no be firewood. He is not strong enough to leave Abuja and travel to plateau on an impromptu. Moreover he has a lot to think about and sort out from his busy schedule. The man can not come and kill himself because if these never satisfied Nigerians. He didn't even beg them to vote him in the first place.

bubu

Both are terrorists


Long live Trump

Long live the next president of Nigeria

I love OP's moniker. Change isn't permanent but constant and that involves 'change' itself being changeable.

Very unfortunate the kind of leaders we have in Nigeria

Well, the idiotic buhari is responsible for their death in the first place, so how can he feel their pain or comiserate with them? No way

how many time will he fly to plateau within 2days, even his vice was there before him.
What else?

Did he fly there when those idiotic PDP cattle rustlers and drug addict youth kill Fulani's and soldiers and their cows.

Natural tragedy like hurricane is different from rustlers and bandit herdsmen.

Anyway,he should fly back to Daura with his vice,he has done more harm than good to this country.

That is the humane heart all reasonable leaders should have but Buhari only have a heart only for hausa-fulani stock of people in Nigeria.You can go to hell if you don't belong therein.

Stop insulting the sensibility of Nigerians. But he can junket round the world aimlessly right Then he have no business being the president of a multicomplex country like Nigeria.
The Nigerian constitution have no room for this your warped reasoning for anyone desiring the office of the president.So stop making excuses for the dull & incompetent president.We've had enough already.

This is a very unfortunate statement from a Nigerian. From your statement, one can deduce that the president is not strong enough to handle the rudiments of that office. Nigeria is multi ethnic and multi religious. Besides, poverty and hunger is a major problem all over, hence, a proactive approach is needed to handle every sector of the economy and societ. A healthy and vibrant leader, with the people's interest at heart should mount the reigns of power. But by your statement, you seem to encourage mediocrity. After all, he didn't beg to be voted, so he shouldn't be accountable to the people?. This is really saddening!.

If I was God I'll send thunder and lightning to strike him with that senseless statement. If he had a brain he will be dangerous i tell you.

Where is the picture of buhari and birom elder's or his picture with fulani elder's in jos, he only fly in from calabar went straight to government house after discussing with the governor he comes out and fly back to abuja... is this how other world leaders visit there conflicts zones? Propaganda visit:

Sometimes I feel ashamed of my country. Ever since I was born, I have not witnessed a long period of stability. From the first Jos crisis to election violence to Niger Delta militants to avengers to bokoharam to Ipob demonstration down to Fulani herdsmen. I feel like leaving the country and changing my nationality

Most so called Africa's leaders are mere opportunists and not real leaders.

Why can't you guys see the reverse sarcasm in CheifAzubuike's post....??

Is der diff btween satan nd lucifer. Obama wey kill libyan nd syrians is humane. Madam u are mad

Buhari is a BIG FOOL, expect anything good from him at your own peril

G

Black and yellow.



check my SIGNATURE

Obama is human and have human feelings. Same cannot be said about the other.

What else do u expect from a Fulani herdman president. What he sees is cattle and more human being

Obama, Buhari and Trump are all bastards!
God punish this useless waste land called a country.
