OPINION | Buhari Has No Business Being The President, Saraki Is A Cold Hearted Conman. By @FarooqKperogi. -TheWailersNG

What’s all these annoyingly false Manichean binaries people are erecting between an “evil” National Assembly and a “benign” Aso Rock! Both Aso Rock and the National Assembly are equally evil, corrupt, obtuse, and inept. Saraki is a cold, calculating, corrupt conman who destroys everything that comes in his way and Buhari is a self-centered, insensitive, naïve, and clueless man who has no business being president. The politics and choices of both men conspire to drag the nation to the pit.

Saraki’s astonishingly gargantuan corruption is matched by Buhari’s unparalleled profligacy. We have a supposedly “frugal” president whose first priority upon being sworn in as president was to build a multi-million naira vanity “helipad” for himself in his hometown, who spent millions of dollars to travel the world in his first year, and who has spent millions more on both secretive and public “medical vacations” while the people he is mandated to govern starve, die of easily treatable diseases, and writhe in pains. Now Aso Rock is scared to tell Nigerians how much the president spent in his last “medical vacation” in London—itself an unprecedented international embarrassment.

I agree that the National Assembly is useless, but so is Aso Rock. None is better than the other. It used to be said that Nigeria was on auto-pilot. Under Buhari, Saraki and Dogara, the triumvirate of double-dyed incompetence and corruption, Nigeria came to a screeching halt and is now nose-diving.

Exactly two years ago today, I said here that Buhari’s election as president was the best birthday gift I had ever received in my over 4 decades on earth. I spoke too soon. In retrospect, it was the absolute worst birthday gift. We elected a president who repudiates his campaign promises with the glibness of an accomplished conman, a man who luxuriates in the perks and privileges of his office without a bother for the welfare of the people who put him in power, a man who has no earthly clue (of) how to govern, whose economic policies institutionalize reverse Robin Hoodism, that is, robbing the poor to enrich the rich, and so on.

Buhari’s ineptitude, double standard, mindless profligacy, and insensitivity to the poor actually feed and fortify Saraki’s corruption, pigheadedness, and intolerably brazen arrogance. So stop the false binaries already!

I know today is my birthday when I should be savoring and basking in the glow of the hundreds of warm and delicately phrased goodwill messages I am receiving. But that’s not me. I am not a celebratory person, and giving expression to my philosophical anxieties about my home country is more important than my birthday.

But thanks for your birthday wishes nonetheless!

Well done sir But Baba get Malu for farm sha

Farooq right?


The true is the north only have one term left


All your scheming to Bring another northerner for 8 years won't work


Thank you sire

Godfullsam:
The reason why these northerners are condemning Buhari right left and center is beyond me.

Are they not the people who voted him into power?

Sarki Sarki you did not even allowed me to finish before you jumped on the thread...It is good to be diligent at one's duty anyway

sarrki:



Lol

which duty baba

jomonic:
I cant find anyone from the north with a mindset different from what Buhari is exhibiting. Its all rooted in the feeling of being untouchable; born to rule mentality; support for evil causes; kill and get away with it. In short the Nigerian state over pampered the northerners especially the Hausa / Fulani. I will say socially and politically ill-bred no matter the level of education. The ones outside these boundaries are very few.

Eph123 Wiseandtrue What more can i say but this is the gospel truth

Nukualofa:
Your analogy is wrong. I'd rather have a detribalized northerner who has a Nigeria First mentality than that cross breed of a cattle and an ekuke dog Manning our affairs

eph123:


The good thing is this is not coming from someone else but a fellow Northerner, otherwise they would have claimed it's hate. Anyone who speaks against Buhari's zero governance is "hating" according to some people.

Other countries are making significant progress, one old man who has nothing to lose is dragging an entire nation of 170+ million backwards.

SalamRushdie:
When we have purposeful and visionary men like Ambode Nigeria is still looking for the right leader ...The day we stop all the quota system presidency thing and go for the best it's then Nigeria will start improving...I see no reason why Nigerians shouldn't draft Ambode to Aso Rock on 2019 if we are really serious about fixing this country because of all the leaders I have studied in this country he is the only one that has that visionary thought process a nation needs to attain some real growth

sarrki:




The truth is either we hide it or not


Every region will clamor for the number one seat


1) Harmony

2) Unity

3) sense of belonging

No one is slave to one another

What is good for the goose is also good for the gander



The truth

We need to abolish quota system so we can move forward.

Your post just reminded me of Boney M. Rivers of Babylon.



You are so tainted to sound believable
