Naij.com analysed all the official
speeches delivered by
Muhammadu Buhari since his
inauguration on 29th May, 2015.
It turned out that the President
of Nigeria is not so eloquent.
Check out what you need to
know to speak like Buhari – or at
least to be a presidential speech-
writer.
Muhammadu Buhari’s official
speeches are based on frequent
using of just 37 words. Not
surprisingly, “ Nigeria” is the most
frequently repeated word in his
speeches. He repeated the name of
the country 86 times in his official
speeches since his inauguration.
“ People” is the second most often
used word in Buhari’ speeches, while “ government” is the third most frequently used word.
Talking about himself, Muhammadu
Buhari used the word “ president” 30 times since May 29. It’s the eight
most frequent term in his speeches
along with the word “ security” also
repeated 30 times. Surprisingly,
Buhari talked far less about corruption – he used that word only
17 times since inauguration. Buhari
talked much more about campaign
against Boko Haram insurgency together with regional allies.
Thus, the average presidential
speech consisting only of the most
frequently used words would sound
like that: “Nigeria’s people and government
must work for economic
development of the country.
One of the president’s main
challenges today is supporting the
international campaign of such
countries as Chad and Niger against
Boko Haram insurgents.
Nigerian federal republic’s administration promotes peace for
Nigerians and African youth. After
the election the national union
against the system of corruption and the insurgency will bring appreciation of every Nigerian as well as the whole Africa.”
