Nigeria: Buhari Or Jibril? The Russian Connection by MrRobot: 10:36am On Nov 10, 2018 |
In Nigeria, there’s a rising wave of suspicion that a certain Mr Jibril is being passed off as President of Nigeria in place of the real person -Mr Buhari, said by sources to have passed after a ravaging illness awhile ago. Whether this is true or not is not the purpose of this submission. Instead, what matters here is whether such a switch or deception is possible. To answer this, let’s consider a particular incident in history. For decades, rumors circulated in Russia that Joseph Stalin had a “twin” who replaced him during certain situations. Decades after Stalin’s death, the decoy finally decided to talk. Felix Dadaev, a former dancer and juggler, had been ordered to work to the Kremlin as Stalin’s body double. For more than half a century, Dadaev remained silent, fearing a death sentence should he dare to open his mouth. But in 2008, at the age of 88, and with the apparent approval of the Putin regime, he finally came forward to write his autobiography. It explains that he was one of four men employed to impersonate the supreme leader, taking his place in motorcades, at rallies, on newsreel footage etc. Dadaev was born in the Caucasian highlands of Dagestan and when his family moved to Grozny, in Chechnya, he began taking ballet lessons. When the Second World War started, he was required to fight and was so badly injured during the Soviet liberation of Grozny in 1942 that his family was told he had been killed. He was one of seven casualties delivered to a hospital, but he and another man were still alive. Fortunately, he survived, though that “death” was the start of a strange double life. Soon his resemblance to 60-year-old Stalin (which got him teased in school) caught the eye of Soviet intelligence agents, who started using him to save the real Stalin from assassination plots and tedious public ceremonies. Just into his 20s, Dadaev was a great deal younger than Stalin, but make-up and the strain of war meant that he could pass for the 60-year-old. “We had all experienced so much suffering that I looked much older than I was”, Dadaev said. Trained at the personal request of Stalin, Dadaev attended rallies and meetings across the Soviet Union wearing the leader’s trademark Red Army cap and heavy overcoat encrusted with medals. He watched movies and speeches of Stalin to perfect the mimicry of his movement and intonation. Some say that Dadaev, like other Stalin’s body doubles, was trained by Alexei Diky, an actor who played the role of Stalin in propaganda films. In an age before media dominated, he didn’t have to mimic perfectly Stalin’s vocal inflections, just his look and mannerisms. He pulled it off so well even Stalin’s closest comrades couldn’t spot the imposter. “By the time my make-up and training were complete, I was like him in every way, except perhaps my ears. They were too small”. Another Stalin’s body double was a man identified only as “Rashid”. Rashid so closely resembled the dictator that when he joined the army he was dismissed almost immediately. Even his facial scars nearly matched the Soviet leader’s pockmarks from a bout with smallpox. He spent two years studying with Alexei Dikiy. Rashid claimed there were other Stalin lookalikes employed by the NKVD (predecessor of KGB), although he never met any. He claimed to have heard of another Stalin double who was hired to live in the dictator’s dacha outside of Moscow in the late 1940s and 1950s when Stalin was dying. After Stalin’s death in 1953, Rashid moved to a provincial city and shaved off his mustache and gradually became bald. Yet even then the resemblance proved so striking that he often received stares on the street. So the burgeoning popular notion that a certain Jibril from Sudan is being fronted as President Buhari of Nigeria has precedents in history and thus carries a strong possibility that such could well be the case. http://africanheraldexpress.com/blog8/2018/11/09/buhari-or-jibril-the-russian-connection/ Felix Dadaev (left) in the 1940s and the real Joseph Stalin (right). 5 Likes 1 Share

Honestly I'm confused and don't even know what to believe but there are pointing evidence of a body double of the occupant of Aso Villa. What is this secret that Rochas Okorocha is threatening to reveal about APC to Nigerians should his son inlaw not given the ticket in Imo state. Time will definitely tell... 9 Likes 1 Share

For those who are believing and those not believing, Nnamdi Kanu did not ask anybody to believe him; he asked everybody to go and verify what he has said. 8 Likes 1 Share |

Nigerians, open your eyes, we are being deceived. Buhari that was pronounced brain dead suddenly resurfaced looking younger and more vibrant. Nigerians something is fishy. thAt Jubrin in Aso Rock is not the Buhari u voted for. Tinubu is quiet because he wants to rule this country. Tinubu look at the future very well, your name is not written on the future leaders of this country until u tell us d truth. inuru n'obiri na iji nwa gi achu aja? 3 Likes |
