Mai Gaskiya- The Buhari 'worship' In Northern Nigeria by Ishilove: 1:06pm On Dec 08, 2017 |
One of my favourite writers from the Muslim North, Dr. Farooq Kperogi, wrote this timeless piece a while ago. It will explain to you why President Muhammadu Buhari who never gave anyone any scholarship, who never built a youth vocational centre or any industry to employ youths or get almajiris off the streets between 2003 and 2015, and whose children schooled abroad, continued to get millions of votes from the core North when he ran for President four times- Eniola Akinkuotu Someone suggested a few weeks ago on Facebook that President Buhari’s irrationally wild popularity in the Muslim north (including Kano) would require an entire doctoral dissertation to explain. I disagree. It doesn’t require that much effort to explain. It’s simply the product of a mix of amnesic nostalgia, visceral emotions, and Muslim clerical tyranny in the north. 2 Likes |

contd Given the oversized influence of Islamic clerics in shaping public opinion in Muslim northern Nigeria, no amount of logic, evidence-based reasoning, economic hardship, etc. will make the littlest dent on Buhari’s popularity in the Muslim north. In his widely shared articled titled, “Advice On Buhari Media Centre,” Dr. Aliyu Tilde beautifully captured the complicity of the conservative northern Nigerian Muslim clerical establishment in the deification of President Buhari. “The same thing applies to religious leaders who are invited to the villa (by the President, said one of them) for the same purpose of propaganda,” Dr. Tilde wrote. “They return and tell their followers all sorts of stories that they have met an angel there and witnessed miracles at the foot of Sinai. I just heard a Whatsapp audio of one of them from Sokoto who was telling his followers, amidst Allahu Akbar, this kind of stories: Buhari ya yi kira. Kuna ga sai a zauna?…kun san da Nijeriya ba ta da uba. Yanzu na tai uba. Na je villa, na ga abin ban mamaki… What a shame." 3 Likes 1 Share |

Some might argue that Buhari's penchant for wickedness,is because he is Moslem.....even though some of the rectum-cleaners here have done little to assuage those who think likewise,I tend to digress a bit,because I have seen wonderful Muslim folks.The Yar'Aduas were Muslims and Fulanis,and even the younger one(of blessed memory) was an example of humility,and rule of law. no ethnic colouration,no Fulani "freedom-fighters",under his tenure. The 1st Igbo man was made IGP, under his tenure Lagos funds that OBJ declined to release for 2.5 years was released. Here comes this man Buhari who is wrong for all the reasons,who is a palpable example of what a leader or human shouldn't be...He claims he has Integrity,you took ur forms with a loan from the bank but all your children schooled in the UK,perhaps for 'free'. The honest truth is this,why his fellow crooks, Atiku,Tinubu,OBJ,Babangida,,Abdulsalaam,OUK,Rochas,Danjuma and co,stole and invested in business to get more funds,and create "employments",this Medieval stole but had no means to develop himself,no economic,institutional or investment brain,here we are as a Nation. Look at someone up there who commented (a rectum-cleaner),the exact reason why women should be careful about allowing some sperms become zygotes. 5 Likes |

His speech in Kano was highly divisive. Talked about the fact that islam was the bond between Hausas and Fulanis. And that with the reception he got in Kano, that the people of the south would know that he still has supporters. 4 Likes |

I agree in totality with the submission and conclusion of Dr. Kperogi. The support for Buhari in the North is far more than just political support. Atiku is a very rich and popular politician but he doesn't command the kind of heroic support that Buhari enjoys. The calculation of Atikus camp is to win bloc votes from the south and share the votes from north central. Very faulty assumptions as Buhari will win significantly in north central and south west historically doesn't even vote en bloc. If they will start in 2015, it wont be in favour of an Atiku/igbo vp against Bubari/OsinbJo. Atiku stands no chance in 2019! 9 Likes 1 Share |

Buhari is a myth. That man of integrity and meek leader doesn't exist. He is the product of media and religious brainwash. He is a proof that the media control even the ones who claim to be educated. The man is bias in every ramification and never had the mental anatomy to make Nigeria function. They'd still vote for him. I keep telling my bro Buhari will win in 2019 and he thinks I'm talking rubbish. But he will. To the educated people who fell I think these lines below capture their state now: 'It is very difficult to admit you were scammed by a person whose intelligence you consider mediocre. It is difficult. So you go to a great length telling the world how he didn’t defraud you. Within, you know he did scam you, but because that will make you appear dunce, something you despise, you pretend he didn’t defraud you. You defend him instead. Only those whose goodwill are above their egos say the truth'. http://www.mortalpoet.com/things-learn-change-government/ 5 Likes |

CharlotteFlair: Truly, nobody can blame them. Northerners got brainwashed by Buhari's sharia posture, Igbos got brainwashed by kanu's "Biafra or nothing" stand and Igbo's are now getting brainwashed by Atikus fake call for restructuring. You see dear, different brainwashing strokes for different folks. At the end of the day, we all get brainwashed one way or the other. 14 Likes 3 Shares |

Before the 2001 speech on Shariah, the average hausa man has been a supporter of Buhari. I have many Hausa friends who will beg me to see reasons to support Buhari over all the other corrupt people Atiku and IBB might be popular among the Northern elites, but the people on the street, Buhari is it for them 9 Likes 3 Shares |

The main reason he's fanatically loved and supported is simply because of his uprightness and lack of interest to amass wealth. Only people like Tafawa Balewa and Sardauna lived a better and principled life. Buhari closely follows their footsteps. Comparing him to our present day elites and leaders, he's miles ahead of them in terms of gaskiya (trustworthyness) and that earns him to be symbolically referred to as it's custodian, popularly called Mai-Gaskiya. His seldom support for Shari'ah has nothing to do with it. IBB gave Islam more support compared to any other leader, yet he isn't loved half PMB's love. 10 Likes 4 Shares |

One of the most divisive and incompetent leaders Nigeria should ever have. Some of us didn't know what the word bigotry truly meant,till Buhari came to power. Clannishness/parochialism was taken to new depths under him. Corruption is now fully entrenched and he struck the greatest hammer blow to any corruption fight anywhere in the world:selectiveness and cover for family/associates and loyalists. Record numbers of Nigerians are now committing suicide due to the untold hardship he has unleashed. Incompetence does not have to look further than Buhari. 3 Likes |

Well, most of Buhari’s support is from the poor people and the politicians who have plans to piggyback on his influence to win elections. Many of the politicians or their kids that I talk to don't like him however they have no choice but to outwardly show support since that's who the people want. 1 Like |
