WHATEVER anyone may say, kudos should be given to
Major General Muhammadu Buhari, president of the federal
republic for remaining stoic in public, despite the domestic
civil war, raging inside his bedroom, since the early life of
his kami-kaze regime. Yes, I stan (as Big Brother
brotherhood will say) with Punch newspaper on its decision
to derecognise the civility of democracy espoused by the
current national leadership of Nigeria, for being nihilistic
towards universal values, particularly, of right to human
decency. Buhari’s regime isn’t only dictatorial, its leading
lights are a present and prevalent danger to themselves and
Yoruba will say, eni ba te eti aso re mole, a fa telomiran ya
(whoever would deliberately step on his/her own cloak,
wouldn’t hesitate to shred anyone’s). I don’t buy the
nonsense that since Punch supported Buhari for president in
2015, it should join those who had chosen ashen-silence, to
live with an ant-infested firewood, brought “home” in 2015.
There is something that is called buyer’s remorse. Yes,
“converts” like Punch will suffer consequences, but it is
better than eternally seeking a long spoon to dine with men
who ape devil. The only snag is that as the undeniable
industry leader, Punch should have carried others along, in
making an industry statement. Who knows, the aftermath
may exceed scorching point, with even a battle-tested
veteran like Punch, needing industry direct allies. Yes, I trust
the Nigerian media to stand with its own, but the
camaraderie would have been stronger, taking such a
landmark decision together and embarking on this marathon
in togetherness. Don’t they say; stronger together?


Major General Buhari’s regime is known for an all-out, once
it picks up a battle. Punch management can be certain that
Bubu would not allow the “insult” from them, go
unchallenged, the only way the regime know how to settle
scores. For a leader that has gone away with the hitherto
unthinkable including removing a sitting CJN with a
worthless Tribunal exparte, the next three and a half years,
would be an interesting season between Punch and Aso
Rock on one hand and the regime and the Nigerian media
on the other. My only worry is that while it looks easy to call
the coming fight in favour of the regime, which arsenal,
harbours all needed for an easy victory, coupled with having
behind it, a history of deploying a submarine against enemy-
mosquitoes, times like this in Nigeria of past years, were
decidedly resolved in favour of the oppressed by the One
who controls the breath of man. Can’t tell why the feeling is
so strong that history may soon repeat itself.


There is this fable about Olusegun Obasanjo telling
someone that his inner-man receives direct endorphin from
having crises around him and combatants seeking him out
for a slugfest. Is there anything of such in the spiritual DNA
of Major General Buhari too? Does he get a kick from the
waters around him always being troubled? You ask, who
doesn’t want peace? Sadists enjoy pains, even if they
receive doses in flashes, in the course of peppering others,
only that what comes as a victory raucous laughter, always
has this hollowness to it. You ask if one had rung such
sinister holler around me, and I say check the usual badman
of American movies and their demonic curling mustache
and fat cigar.

But even men of war have their vulnerable sinew. Two
examples come to mind; General Naaman and Dictator
Samson; the former, a healed leper and the other, a
conquered anointed warrior. Despite Naaman’s military
successes, leprosy was his soft tendon. For Samson, the
feared conqueror of nations, it was Delilah. Where does one
put General Buhari here; a Naaman, considering his abating
health challenges or a Samson, with an angry Aisha, hell-
bent on having her way or handing her husband to gnawing
vultures? Does the General’s current situation not even
making him look a combination of both? Upon reflection
now, 2015 seemed the year Brand Buhari went to the market
naked, despite nicking the top prize he “killed for”, in 2011
and for which he turned a “street wailer” in 2007 and 2003.


For sure, the “appropriation” war between Aisha and the
Dauras didn’t start in 2015 and the General must have
managed it to the best of ability, until the “market place”
mandate, blew everything in his face. It is easy to read the
situation, especially his seeming inability to rein in his wife
and declare him a weakling or sucker for beauty, like
Samson, but Yoruba will say eni ija o ba, lo npe ara e
lokunrin (you are only a real man when battle-tested). Many
are savaging the General over Aisha’s tantrums today,
whose matrimony isn’t only ruffled and crumpled but
completely dismantled. But Bubu is primarily the harbinger
of the opprobrium coming his way over the triangular Daura/
Aisha/Garba’s garbage and other domestic mess being
regularly smashed on his face, which incidentally used to be
his selling-point pre-2015. I mean, you take a look at the
General’s face and say, yeah mehn, this is the man for the
rot. Unsurprisingly the unsmiling face isn’t scaring Aisha and
not deterring her from descending into the gutters with her
enemies; her husband’s heartthrobs. When women have you
to the throat and want it out with phlegm, it won’t matter if
your visage is that of the most dreaded Egungun and the
General is now being derided because he has always
projected a ramrod, steely persona, which Aisha is now
scattering into smithereens.


Without doubt, filial love overrides sexual intimacy for the
General and this is obviously rankling the scorned woman
under her roof. The domestic problem is going to last the
General the rest of his life, though Nigerians would get to
know less of it, after office. But while it lasts in office, those
who love the General and the nation can only pray that
governance isn’t lost to it, even if Aisha is divorced or her
husband goes ahead with the Humanitarian woman. You
say, governance lost to a mere family squabble? No, that
family isn’t just any other, it is the first family and the
supposed head, is making critical decisions for the nation.
Have you ever considered a man whose mind is torn by
deep feelings?
