Buhari may not be dead, but he might as well be - too sick to rule, too greedy to leave.
There is a saying in Yoruba Land: “Orun a re mabo.”

Translation: No one comes back from the dead.

Buhari may not be dead, but he might as well be - too sick to rule, too greedy to leave.

Do I wish Buhari dead? Hell no! I wish him well. But as the president of Nigeria, he needs to either serve in his full capacity as president, or immediately resign. There is no third option here, at least not one that benefits Nigerians.

For weeks, Buhari’s administration has been reporting that he is healthy, that he is simply on an extended trip to London for medical tests. He has been away for weeks, and his administration is unwilling or unable to tell Nigerians if or when their president will return, according to the LA Times.

So, what we know for sure is even if Buhari is not sick - which is improbable, considering his appearance of late - and he is just more comfortable spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on his current medical tour instead of getting these “medical tests” done at the State House Clinic Abuja, the fact remains he so preoccupied with his health that he is unable to lead his country. And Nigeria does not seem to have another leader poised to take his place.

I agree with Okey Ndibe that Buhari should step down.

Unlike most of Buhari’s detractors, I do not have a self-serving agenda. My agenda is to see Nigerians prosper in Nigeria. But Nigerians remain in chains, enslaved by their inability to see beyond their greedy noses.

I speculate Buhari is suffering from either a kidney failure or pancreatic cancer, but even if Buhari comes back home, we all know his policies of the last two years have left the country almost completely stagnate. Try as we might to put our faith in him, Buhari has brought Nigeria no closer to self-sufficiency.

If you remember, I campaigned for Buhari. I wanted him to help halt the abyss to which Nigeria was descending during the time of Jonathan’s presidency, as referenced in my article Nigeria’s Rise to the Bottom.

In another one of my articles, I stated that Nigeria is Not a Country but a conspiracy of the elites. My sincere hope was that Buhari would mark the start of a new paradigm of leadership for Nigeria.

That has not been the case.

I am not naive in thinking any world leader would panic his or her constituents by announcing a major illness then admitting there is no cure for the illness, nor a plan in place to ensure the stability of the country going forward. World leaders don’t do that. Hell, C-level executives don’t even do that.

I think what we all feel is the sense of unease that manifests when you know something’s wrong and no one will tell you what it is. It’s the same unease Americans felt when William Henry Harrison died in office. It’s the same unease experienced by Ethiopians when Prime Minister Meles Zenawi died in office. It’s the same unease the whole world felt when North Korean dictator Kim Jong Il died and we realized we were stuck with his sons.

The saga of Yar'adua comes to mind. Not quite seven years ago, we had another Nigerian President lying comatose in another country. The cabals lied to the nation for several months until they could no longer lie.

This may be history repeating itself.

By the time this post goes live, Buhari may be dead or Buhari may be back in Nigeria. But I question whether he will ever regain enough strength to lead in the proper capacity as president. How can he have a broken body and a distracted mind and retain the strength and focus to lead Nigeria out of social, political, and economic turmoil?

I am hedging my bets. The cabals know the answer. The conspirators know the answer. But they will continue to lie and keep Nigerians guessing so they can milk the system for as long as possible.

Therefore, I say to all Nigerians, let us pray the Lord see fit to restore President Buhari’s health, and that he has the opportunity to enjoy the rest of his years in peace with his family beside him.

And let us pray that Nigerians would wake up, and rise up. Long live Nigeria.

Hmmmmmm......... I wish he comes back but not to the throne of power but as a man who loves Nigeria by stepping down for prof. to continue as president and he(Buhari) enjoys the rest of his life resting

If he truly meant well for nigeria and nigerians he should step aside and face his health. Let another finish from where he stop. He has done his best, i believe now he knows better, making a promise is simple but fulfilling the promise is the biggest task.

" Too sick to rule....Too greedy to leave"

Deep words that can only be processed by the sane minded.

Like 1984, like 2015; the resemblance is too striking. The only difference was 1984 ended with a coup, no thanks to the Evil genius but the hardship associated with the regime necessitated the action. All things being, PMB might just be lucky to finish his tenure in 2019.

Again, in 1984 Late Idiagbon was the one ruling while GMB was just a ceremonial head of state. The same thing is playing out 2017.

If I were PMB, I'd rather resign and enjoy a honourable exit despite being clueless on our to deliver the country from her current challenges than return and remain, allowing the enormous challenges and weight of his office send him to the afterlife. Lest I forget, Africans don't resign. The latter might end PMB.

The only honour left for him is to resign. Obviously, the powers that be, including @ senate president and house speaker and the cabal @ presidency are working hard to perfect the northern conspiracy; covering the truth about the president's health status; but God is smarter, He'll surely beat them all at their games. God Save Nigeria!

Once beaten twice shy, Buhari knows this (the north is waiting) and knows the vultures are waiting.
Buhari's resignation has no positive impact on this nation, the negatives can only be imagined.

its just one of those doomsday conpiracies; with the way things are going presently, if buhari resigns in goodwill, nothing is gonna happen, we have been there before. The only thing that is sure to happen is wailing and empty threats from some quarters and guess what? It will cool off in few months time

We can only hope it remains empty threat but we don't the type of information others are privy to. Boko haram is still lurking around

The northern cabals abi na cannibals should just allow the VP to rule in peace.

What happened during yaradua's time, is about to play out again .

Buhari is coming back to rule..

The gradual fall of the North!!

Buhari Betrayed Me,
I felt humans were worth trusting not until we made this Man our president.
I cry for my dear country, our purchasing power has drastically fallen because of Bad Governance. What a Country!
Click like if you now dislike Buhari

Who told you he's not coming back??

Click 'like' if u think the writer is right.. And share if u think otherwise

Hmm

I keep saying it.
Its as simple as this.
If you say Buhari is good and the best thing that happened to Nigeria,
I say, may GOD ALMIGHTY govern and rule your life just the way Buhari is ruling Nigeria.
Otherwise, just know within yourself that he is a failure and you dont want to admit it.
Say amen to the above i stated here if you say he is the best.
Simple.

Sounds so apt.

What a world!

Buhari , Lord let thy will be done

Go kill am nah, MUMU

Too sick to rule, too greedy to leave

This heading really got me laughing hard

this saga has exposed Buhari for what he truly is, he is not the patriotic crap they try to sell

very greedy about power, he is too weak to run such a expansive country with all its problems

THE O

Leave ke? He won't leave till he d^^^s

I like it.
