Yusuf Buhari: Time for Compassion

There is a time for everything. There is a time for politics, and there is a time to subordinate partisanship and let our humanity shine through. Yusuf Buhari’s heartrending motorbike accident a few days ago is no moment to gloat and taunt his dad.

I read a couple of people on my timeline reveling in the tragedy of Yusuf’s motorbike accident. That’s cruel beyond measure. I’ve unfriended all such unfeeling wretches. I want to have no truck with anyone who derives delight from people’s personal catastrophes. If you’re such a scoundrel and I haven’t noticed you, please do me a favor and unfriend me.

Before he is the president’s son with privileges that the rest of us don’t have, he is a human being. He is someone’s son, someone’s brother, someone’s friend. Accidents can happen to anyone, including you and me. For that alone, he deserves our compassion.

I know our compassion or ill will will do absolutely nothing to exacerbate or assuage his condition, but a show of empathy for another human being’s tragedy hurts no one.

All this fake and hypocritical sympathy.

Why should we have compassion on Yusuf whose Father has murdered innocent people.

To hell with yusuf

The Fulani herdsmen reinsacks villages and maims with reckless abandon

What about their victims
Where was Buharis empathy
As the president and minister of petroleum
Nigerians are suffering in pain

What has he done

Nonsense! Was it me that asked him to smoke gum and go bike racing by 8pm in a N56m power bike?

Next year's Paralympics awaits him. Mtcheeew.

It's expected that you show compassion for the accident victims and forget about their personality.

Biking is a hobby to alot of people. Old, young, Rich, Poor etc.

Anybody that wants to die should die...

No amount of sympathy can stop a death whose time has come...

Let Buhari feel what the mothers/fathers of iPods,shite Moslems n Fulani victims felt when their children where killed unjustly. Buhari should lose his only son!

This Yusuf Buhari incident has opened my eyes and revealed a lot about why Nigeria is the way it is. Just a few houses down my street is a private clinic. On the same date that Yusuf had his accident, this clinic urgently needed fuel to run its generator in order to carry out an emergency surgery, but couldn’t find any. Eventually they had to beg around the neighbourhood for fuel and I gave them the last 5 litres I had.

Perhaps my sympathy for Yusuf Buhari would have been aroused if he had been providing an essential service (like my neighbourhood clinic) when the accident occurred, but no he wasn’t, rather he was drag racing! At a time when Sarrki, Omenka, Ugenenkwenu, LionDeLeo, Madridgay and other members of the BMC were sweating at filling stations in the hot midday sun like Christmas goats, waiting to buy fuel at 500 naira a litre, Yusuf Buhari was burning up the scarce and precious commodity on meaningless and unproductive drag racing with his friend! Maybe fuel flows through Aso Rock like the River Niger. Maybe Buhari is the immortan Joe of Nigeria. He hoards fuel the same way Immortan Joe hoards water.

And now the BMC wants to add insult to injury by taking away our rights as Nigerians to feel a sense of outrage. They want us to pray for Yusuf Buhari, as if his case is like that of a soldier who was wounded in active service at the battle front!

I have a right to feel a sense of outrage that Yusuf Buhari can afford to waste fuel stupidly while a hospital that needs it for a far more important purpose cannot obtain it.

You have to question the sanity and the IQ level of the average BMC zombie! I’m afraid that with just a few hours left of the year 2017, our friends in the BMC will cross over into the New Year with their present mental handicaps but sadly there is nothing anyone can do for them

You made the most sense, but his zombie followers have affection for gullibility and ignorance

Smartest comment I've read so far on this issue.

Yusuf , wish you well and good, heal up.
So sorry for your pains.
Take care.

They are mostly (of recent) Atiku supporters! I marvel at a people whose main source of motivation is hate!

Pharoah might just be having his 10th plague. It is not impossible that Yusuf Buhari could miraculously get healed if Buhari agrees to a referendum. Remember, Faka got miraculously healed after Jonathan conceded.

It's quite unfortunate that Yusuf got involved in that accident it could have being someone else and I think that Yusuf is a cool guy anyways though he's father might not be all good and has failed to do half of what he promised Nigerians we shouldn't because of that act wish him bad especially when it concerns Yusuf.
Let the sins of the father not befall on us.
