Recently, some Nigerians, yet to get over the overwhelming victory of the President at the recently concluded poll took to the Social Media to vilify him over his reported joke about the Acting Inspector General, shortly after his return from the United Kingdom. Some had even attempted to describe him as unserious.

Others out rightly advised him to be as serious as United States President. Hellooo!!! No world leaders joked during their times in office than US presidents. Abraham Lincoln, Ronald Reagan, Jimmy Carter, Obama, Trump all joked.

Regan was so notorious in-jokes that classic Washington yarn says he wasn’t even afraid to jest with the queen of England. In 1982, while he was on a horseback ride with the Queen on the grounds of Windsor Castle, he joked about the Queen when her horse was said to have had a bout of prolonged flatulence.

Jimmy Carter even after leaving Office continued to poke at himself, leaving Americans with the notion that he didn't leave his sense of humour at the White House.

Abraham Lincoln was renowned for his self-deprecating humour and elaborate story spinning especially at long meetings.
Obama while speaking about Cyber Security in the US, joked about many Americans having guessable passwords including himself. Apart from gun violence, cyber-related crime is the most worrisome security threat in the US.

Obama had also joked about his own Obamacare, a policy that dominated Trump's campaign. Obama also joked about his family, job, Turkey, and America as a whole.

Trump recently joked about North Korea's nuclear weapon and his relationship with Kim Jong Un. He also joked about how Americans ought to 'sit up at attention when he speaks' as North Koreans do with Kim. The "Make America Great Again" crooner also joked about staying in office for 14 years. When the US media blew one of his jokes out of proportion recently, Trump asked reporters if they understood sarcasm.

Nigerians must understand sarcasm and learn to differentiate jokes from governance. Buhari remains human and must not detach himself from his innate qualities because he is President?

Insecurity is real. He has met with Security Chiefs several times in the past week. Nigerians must realize that they also have an obligation in the war against insecurity especially in providing information to relevant authorities about activities of criminals. Who has carried out such noble act? Who even has the dedicated phone lines of the Police, Army, DSS or even Civil Defence? Food for thought.

Perhaps George Bush made jokes when US Marines were being killed in Iraq or Obama made jokes when troubled students were shooting down fellow students right? But you want us to appreciate and laugh with a president who's response to a serious question regarding the increasing insecurity in the country he happens to be the C in C of is a joke?

Perhaps if your family or loved ones have been at the receiving end of the mad killings going on around the country you'd joke less and be as pissed as the people speaking against it.

We are not saying buhari shouldn't Crack jokes or make small talks- he can choke to death while laughing to his own stupid jokes I don't care but he shouldn't be stupidly insensitive to such a serious matter especially on national television where the world is watching... It depicts him as a dumb ass which he is BTW but we have to protect our little image left in front of the world.

We know he's useless but he shouldn't wash his fuuckking dirty linens in public! Thanks

Sometimes man suppose laugh small abeg...make una allow Baba laugh jare
