The Different Types Of People Who Support Buhari by teufelein(f): 4:26pm On Jan 09, 2015
THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF PEOPLE WHO SUPPORT BUHARI

In a more responsible society, the candidature of General Muhammadou Buhari would have been received with ice cold excitement by 99.9 percent of the populace. But Nigeria is a peculiar country, where the ignorant pumps him or herself up to appear the most knowledgeable, the corrupt play saintly, the traitor condemns the patriot and is applauded by the confused, the thief calls the thief catcher a thief and the confused people applaud him. Nigeria is a place where the most horrible leaders are celebrated while the most humble are derided. This situation explains why there are still people who are either so shameless or so ignorant to mouth the mutest support for the man who should be the most hated villain in the chequered history of Nigerian democracy. These are the different categories of people who support Buhari:

1. THE REAL OPPRESSORS: These are the elites who have built their entire lives around politics, and cannot survive without having one or two ways to corruptly enrich themselves through the national till. Due to the massive transformational policies of the Goodluck administration, most of the areas through which these people corruptly enrich themselves have been successfully closed by the present administration, hence, their desperation to get themselves back into power, in order to resume their filtering of our commonwealth into their personal pockets. Chief among this set of supporters are; Former Governor Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Bukola Saraki, and a good number of their elitist supporters of the retired but illiterate General.

2. THE BIGOTS: Ninety percent of the ordinary people who are supportive of General Buhari's presidential election bid are either from the core Northern part of the country or are Muslims. To these people, even it is not Buhari, all they want is Northern Muslim President, because according to them, Nigeria belongs to that set of people. These are the SAI BUHARI chanters. They will never tell you what makes Buhari better than Jonathan, or why he can be a better President, because they do not know. They are only interested in seeing one of their own answer President, Shikena. Chief among this class of supporters are Lawal Keita, Ciroma, Coomasie, Kwankwaso and the likes.

3. THE WANNABEE PROGRESSIVES: These are people who support the unschooled General because they think Nigeria needs change, and they want to be seen as change agents, hence they are lending their voice to the change slogan. These set of supporters are chiefly youths from the Southern part of the country. A very mild voice in their conscience tells them that Buhari does not represent this change they seek, and they know it, but they want to be seen as progressives, hence they do not want to be seen as supportive of the present PDP government. When I was younger, and still sniffing the concept of progressiveness, I had this problem, but with time, I defeated phantasm and became more realistic. That is why I can afford to stand against the whole world in pursuing beliefs I am sure of. This set of Buhari supporters have failed to see the CHAINS in the change they are chanting. I have and I will not be deceived. Some of them are actually aware that a vote for Buhari is a vote for retrogression, but they are afraid of being tagged as PDP followers, they are afraid of not been seen as progressives. Their desperation to wear the cloaks of Soyinka, Fawehmi and the likes is so intense that they forget to take their time to understand the real colours of such cloaks. Being an activist or a progressive does not mean that you must always stand against incumbents. I hope Petra Iyabo Akinti Onyegbule, Soni Akoji, Theresa Ugwuanyi and others like them would understand this and quickly retract their support for this analog uneducated and perennial presidential contestant. No doubt, these set of young and not too young 'youths' are desirous of giving Nigeria a better deal, but they need to understand that Buhari will throw us back into the dark days of the eighties, and they may be at the receiving end of his intolerance at the end of the day.

4. THE VINDICTIVE: These are people who seek for a way to get back at President Jonathan by any means possible. For this set of SAI BUHARI chanters, it does not matter if Buhari will take over and throw the nation into abyss, what they want is for Jonathan to be removed by any means possible. I do not know what my former friend, VIO has against Jonathan, but she was one of those who mouthed this rubbish some two years ago. She said then that GEJ must be removed by any means possible and some of us interpreted it that she wouldn't mind if Jonathan is assassinated. Chief Olusegun Obasanjo is the ring leader of this set of supporters. They are the most committed in the Jonathan Must Go project. The curious thing about this set of Buhari supporters is that they cannot come out and convince any sensible Nigerian how Jonathan has failed, but they keep disturbing our peace with their frustrated bleats of CHANGE, which in the real sense is CHAIN.

5. THE BANDWAGON FOLLOWERS: These are people who are following or at least mouthing support for Buhari because their political ogas at the top are supporting Buhari. In Imo State most of those who are appointees of the Rochas government fall into this category. They do not know why they have to support Buhari, but they tell you it is Buhari because they have seen their oga talking about Buhari. The funny thing about this set of GMB supporters is that they have more reasons not to support Buhari than most of us, who are not supporting Buhari, but these peoples political support is slavish. They do not have a mind of their own, or they deliberately suspended their independence for the pittance they get from their principals. I will not be wrong to classify this set of people as slaves.

No matter which category you fall into in the Buhari project, I gladly wish you GOODLUCK.

Why is it that black African people cannot rise up in revolution against these kleptomaniac governments bestowed upon them by forces of darkness? The zoo is a typically backward poverty stricken wretched African geo-political contraption of allegedly over 160 million people, why is it that the people that are unfortunate to come from this British colony is so intellectually bereft that they cannot fathom that a very violent and bloody revolution is the only way to restore what is left of their shattered dignity and self worth? Every civilised country in the world went through a violent revolutionary phase so why can't ordinary Africans understand this? A country with no electricity, no housing, no education, chronic poverty and mass unrest yet people cannot rise up against this industrial scale corruption and mockery of common sense. No wonder Africa is in a mess.

The reason I root for Buhari is because I want a peaceful revolution. Violent revolution will be brought about by rigging the election against the popular choice and will lead to so much blood shed. I therefore wish and pray for the will of majority be allowed to prevail be it Buhari or Jonathan.
