The Blunder In President Buhari's Congratulatory Tweet To Joe Biden by dyera(m): 9:06am On Nov 08, 2020 |
Congratulations to US President-Elect Joe Biden on his election at a time of uncertainty and fear in world affairs. His election is a reminder that democracy is the best form of government because it offers the people the opportunity to change their government by peaceful means. The statement "democracy is the best form of government because it offers the people the opportunity to change their government", is a contradictory statement. Democracy being a form of government, does not offer people the opportunity to change their government. Instead, democracy offers people the opportunity to change their leaders. 10 Likes

On one hand, someone is employed to operate his tweeter handle because Buhari cannot operate it since he is an illiterate, yet on the other hand, blunders in Buhari's tweet. After trumpchuku, the saviour of ipob miscreants and the runaway pornster lunatic, has lost to "jihadist" Biden, somehow, na on top Buhari the cry go continue. 11 Likes 3 Shares |

HAccord:It's people like you who can't think for themselves that baffles me alot. Yes, the lazy OP must have written something that he feels he is right about but what stops you from making your own research instead of just jumping in to support whatever it is as long as it is against the president. Research will stress your little brain out right? This is not directed at you only, but those who have showed similar silly support and those who will still. As for the OP, dyera. Kindly google "regime change ". In politics, when you change the heads of a regime, then you have changed government. At least to lay men, you would have been hearing "pdp government and Apc government " Don't just wake up one sunday morning and start wasting threads without proper understanding. 10 Likes 3 Shares

Officialgarri: Even if Buhari used the word regime, it would still have been a blunder. Regime means system of government. The US election did not change their system of government, which continues to be the democratic system of government. Buhari is talking about how the US election allowed them to peacefully change their government even though the US is still practicing democracy. Elections allows people to change their leaders, not their government. 2 Likes |

dyera: No my brother, it is NOT.. Actually, true democracy offers the people the opportunity to change both their leaders AND THE FORM OF GOVERNMENT ITSELF.. IF the people, through democratic means, want a monarchical form of government, it can be achieved, as democracy will make that happen.. In summary, DEMOCRACY gives you the opportunity to change anything, including democracy itself.. THAT'S THE BEAUTY OF TRUE DEMOCRACY. ANOTHER INTERPRETATION IS THAT, (which is what the tweet is about, to me) government can be used polysemically to mean ADMINISTRATION.. Meaning, democracy, through elections, enables the people to peacefully change the government (administration).. In this case, government as used doesn't refer to the system, but an administration.. Administration means management .. Or the people who are in government, for example, the Republican administration, the Donald Trump's administration, the Goodluck Jonathan's administration.. etc.. So "government" means different things.. And the tweet itself can be construed in different correct ways.. NO FLAW AT ALL! So nothing contradictory in his speech. God bless Nigeria. 4 Likes 1 Share |

dyera: My brother, you are confusing yourself. Read the tweet again.. President Buhari was describing DEMOCRACY AT LARGE, not the ELECTION, a part of democracy.. President Mohammadu Buhari first commented on the election, and then went ahead to describe the beauty of DEMOCRACY, which, according to him, is SO beautiful THAT it even empowers the people to change democracy itself, something other system of government can't guarantee. The election merely reminded him of the awesome beauties of democracy, including the ability to change the democratic system itself peacefully. In other words, Buhari used the extreme beauty of democracy to describe how beautiful democracy is. HOWEVER, government can be used polysemically to mean ADMINISTRATION.. Meaning, democracy, through elections, enables the people to peacefully change the government (administration).. In this case, government as used doesn't refer to the system, but an administration.. Administration means management .. Or the people who are in government, for example, the Republican administration (government), the Donald Trump's administration (government), the Goodluck Jonathan's administration (government).. etc.. So "government" means different things.. And the tweet itself can be construed in different correct ways.. NO FLAW AT ALL! WHICHEVER WAY YOU ANALYZE GOVERNMENT/ THE TWEET May God bless us all. Officialgarri: My brother, exactly what I stated above.. I even analyzed government from his own myopic point of view and still proved President Buhari right, before I described what I believe is the intention of the messenger, which is still correct.. The Tweet, whichever way you analyze it, whether as a system of government or an administration, is still correct.. The OP merely analyzed it from an angle just to implicate the President. But even that sef, him fail.. God go help wailers. 4 Likes 1 Share

dyera: You know we don't need to argue about this when the answer is staring at us. All we need to do is define "Government". Now, kindly check the attached image. If you still aren't convinced, look at the synonyms of government and there you will have your answer. So what happens when you change an 'administration'? It means you have changed Government But doesn't mean you have changed system of Government
