The only thing our President hasn't told us EXPRESSLY is 'To your tents oh Israel!'.

With his latest jibe at Nigerians (Be the change before you demand the change we promised), I can't help but get very angry at him, and of course, with the general population of Nigerians who voted him in.

I mean, how could we (Read: YOU) vote in a man who didn't say a word when barbarians were killing and maiming youth corps members in his name, after he lost the 2011 elections? Who never came out to play the good loser by calling them to order? How could we (Read: YOU, again) vote in a man who showed his intolerance by subtly (or openly?) calling for bloodshed after he had lost an election? Who didn't really do anything substantial during his time of military rule?

Nigerians are funny. What better way to access a man, than with his precedents, more so, when he hasn't renounced them or shown repentance? You all voted in a man who didn't feel a thing when innocent people were killed because of him after that election, and you expect him to empathise with you enough to swing into action, when you tell him you cannot buy tomatoes, or your children are stranded abroad? Funny. You expect him to perform some wonder this time around when history has it that he had less than stellar results as per his rule in 1983?

Why did we get it wrong, despite the point of reference we had on Buhari, now President?
