General Muhammadu Buhari said he had only one million Naira in his account before he became president and 150 cows to his name and you jumped, clapped and said, “Yes, that is a man with integrity. He is dirt poor.”

Shortly after the elections and without declaring his assets publicly you realised that Buhari has N30 million in his UBA personal account and owns a palatial home in Abuja worth over N2 billion. You said, “It is okay, Buhari is a man of integrity. He can own a house anywhere. He is not as rich as IBB, Abdulsalam, or Danjuma.” Instead of you to call him out for what he is, a man of questionable character.

He said he borrowed N27 million to buy his nomination form to run for president on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and you clapped for him that he is so poor he had to borrow money and no president had ever been so poor.

A few weeks later, the wife of a “poor” general, makes a donation of N130 million to internally displaced persons in Adamawa. Because her name is Aisha Buhari, some people raise eye brows and ask, if she had N130 million to give away to the real poor people, why couldn’t she give her husband a paltry N27 million to buy his form. You said, “Oh! She is from a very wealthy family, the family of Nuhu Ribadu who also is an acclaimed “poor man” with cows to his name.” Without probing deeper, you swallowed the story of Aisha Buhari’s “wealthy family” hook, line and sinker.

Buhari said he owns nothing abroad, but yet his wife lives at Mayfair in London. Mayfair is one of the most expensive and exclusive neighbourhoods the world. So you really believed the lie that Buhari’s family, would live in a council home in UK? I repeatedly told you that Buhari owns the house in Mayfair where his Aisha Buhari stays, instead of doing research or at least some cognitive reasoning, you decided to call me names… Oh, never mind.

While Buhari was petroleum minister, N2.8 billion (valued at N645 billion in today’s money) grew wings and flew away from the NNPC account in London. Buhari claims he knows nothing about it. You decided he was innocent until proven guilty, afterall, he has sold you the dummy that he is Mr. Integrity. Yet you feel comfortable hounding Diezani Alison-Madueke for money that IS NOT MISSING of which a Senate committee investigated and cleared her of any wrongdoing from allegations fabricated by Buhari’s brother Sanusi the Emir of Kano. Buhari – innocent until proven guilty though money got missing under his watch; but Alison-Madueke – guilty even if proven innocent on money that is not missing.

Buhari said he would bring back the Chibok girls within 30 days of assuming of office, it is going to six months now instead of you demanding for the return of the girls you said you want to give him time. Okay, Buhari, please take your time.

He promised to wipe out his misguided brothers Boko Haram within 100 days in office because it would be a walk in the park for him as an ex-military ruler. You believed him and what has happened since? Over two thousand innocent Nigerians have been slaughtered by his misguided brothers under his watch. The deadliest reign of the Islamist terrorist group since they began their Jihadist campaign in 2009. Yet, instead of asking Buhari questions, you engage in an equally blood-stained conspiracy of silence.

Buhari claimed Jonathan left an empty treasury. But in six months or zero action on the economy and with foreign investors fleeing Nigeria, and with no cabinet… Nigeria is still in one piece. Please where does he get the money to preserve the economy? Instead of asking Buhari these questions and asking if he has been paid his salary and allowances in those six months you are busy passing the blame to a man who has left office.

Buhari has been jetting around the world disgracing Nigeria and Nigerians in the failed quest to be seen as a corruption fighter. He is running Nigeria down and making gaffes at every point. What do you do? Instead of holding him to account, you excuse him and point to non-existent gaffes of a Ph.D. holder president whom you love to hate. At this point, I have to say you are an idiot.

Buhari, is busy fighting the mantra “corruption” and the economy is grounding to a halt, you are losing your jobs and investments, instead of you to tell him that he can fight corruption and still keep the economy rolling you make dumb excuses for him and say he needs time to “fight corruption properly”. What does properly mean? You probably can’t say. But you give him a pass as Nigerian groan under the weight of a failed economy caused by a frozen-in-1984 president.

Instead of reminding Buhari of his lack of an educational qualification for the job and why he should swiftly put up a team that does have the requisite certification, you instead celebrate the “return of power to the North”. You forget to ask him how he is going to sustain the power he has. Instead, you remember to remind him that he is the messiah of his time.

Have you asked him what is happening to our currency depreciating by the minute? Why naira is not equivalent to a dollar as yet? Have you asked him why Nigerian school children are not fed once a day?

Have you asked him why NYSC members have not received their N50,000 monthly allowance that he promised during the campaigns? Or have you asked him why the current “paltry” sum paid to corps members are being owed under Buhari?

Have the docile “men of the fourth estate” aka Nigerian journalists reminded him of their insurance policies? That one is so sad and funny at the same time… No, they have not but rather are still carrying on with lies and propaganda for the APC and Buhari.

Have you asked him why petrol is N140 today instead of N40 has promised by his campaign surrogate? You idiot voter, you still haven’t seen a reason to converge in Freedom Park in Lagos, singing “solidarity forever” to force Buhari to keep his campaign promises.

Have you asked him why he has not paid the pensions of old retirees such as himself? Buhari promised you the best “angels and saints” of Nigeria as ministers but gave you the most rapacious criminals as noisemakers. Have you asked him why? What happened to his heavenly plans? Why did he trade angels for demons? Have you asked him why he took you on a ride for six months? No. But you have the liver to go round telling people he has a right to reward his thieving friends.

Buhari went to India an irresponsibly declared Nigeria broke. But Governor Ayo Fayose asked him to account for the monthly revenue as the previous government was doing. Instead of being transparent, Buhari thinks the best response to a call for accountability it to attack and insult Fayose. Does Fayose look like someone he can harass like that? Please, pull over, Sir. Park well.

Why does Mr. Integrity see it as an insult to be asked to be accountable to the Nigerian people who elected him into office. Isn’t that the true meaning of being “non-corrupt”? Buhari has proven himself as a fraudster, lacking all forms of decency.

If after all of these, you still think that Buhari is a man of integrity then you would believe the earth is flat.

You are fools, but Buhari is a congenital liar.

Stand up and say no to #BuhariSpoilingNigeria.

O"ambulance, Lagos Ambulance service & others across the country need to quickly attend to this insane (were alaso) before his condition get worsen

They have eyes and cannot see

They have brains but cannot reason properly

Where are they? Come out and defend your saviour. COWARDS

This is the best you and others can do. No logical reasoning like your father- Buhari. No knowledge to constructively react to OPs submission. Oma se oooo

if this does not make front page, then the modes lalasticala, ishilove etc., should be regarded as sentimental and partial. front page please as the Op's article will awake many that are still sleeping and this is good to protect our nascent democracy.

Better a "were alaso" than "were opuro" (mad liars) .

APC = liars.

Now we know who is mad

how can one man brain wash over one hundred and fifthy million people jst like dat ? the baba where do d juju try

in this life the only constant thing is CHANGE,dont b suprise cos even CHANGE av CHANGE

Monumental lies coming from a pathological liar!

@OP while I agree to all your submission, I am glad that you are a lawyer and I am also moved to challenge you on your role as part of the judiciary!
The judiciary is watching the collapse of this great country under their watch!
Even though they are independent, what is their contribution to all these?
Our judiciary has failed us
I use to respect them so much but not anymore.
I was glad when a lawyer picked up Buhari on the issue of oil when it was scarce and being sold for N100-N150. Something was done and the law was enforced that fuel moved back to N87.
Buhari has breached our constitution, what are you people doing about it?
Judiciary is one of Nigerian's biggest problem. I tell you that if our legal system is in order, there will be lesser crime in our society!
Where are those brave and fearless lawyers that were the voices of the masses?
Where are they?
Take your cry to the judiciary, majority are not happy with all these happenings but who will speak for them? who will hear them? will they get justice in our legal system?
A food for thought!

you seems to describe yourself here Mister. I know you are one of those "fanboy" of AreGBESE(king of debts), just mentioning of O'Ambulance points that out.
How has your brothers working in Osun doing lately? Arigbesesola administration is the perfect picture of what the "Change" is all about.
Can you sit for a minute and PONDER, THINK, DELIBERATE, and REASON on what the Op pointed above than to wave his submission out?

Do you think it's coincidental that LIE muhammed's parent called him that?

Or you think it's just a small thing he was employed into the Change system?

boys like you are the problem of Nigeria

Peacefully divide Nigeria, let Nations entangled in it go their separate ways.

You can't keep unhappy players in your team and expect to win.

Unhappy Player(s) = Unhappy Team -> Failure.

Africans think for once!

this is a mere ill juxtaposed and disgruntled article bore out of sentiment and hatred for Mr. Buhari


do you simply want us to believe all the unverified and unreferenced stories because it is coming from you? how deductive self is logic here?

now let me counter your points a bit

that someone has 1 million naira in the bank today doesn't means he can't worth a billion naira...........dangote is the richest black man yet he borrows heavily is that a sign of poverty?
how do u even think that a retired army general and former head of state entitled to allowances, benefits and pension can be abject poor?

when we say Buhari is poor we mean he was fortunate enough to have many oil wells in ND as petroleum minister, head of state and PTF chairman yet he refuse to because of integrity.........

that Prof Thomwest promised Nigerians that fuel can sell for as low as 40 naira under Buhari doesn't mean Buhari or even APC made that promise



the wife of a president presenting relieve materials doesn't mean she funded it.....it was made known who the contributors of the fund was.....Google like MMM has not crashed so take advantage of that


u need to back up ur claims with enough evidence to make it pallatble for digestion especially the house abroad.

I no get time to go further but will continue at the right time
