Even though i am a patriotic Nigeria and a lover of Buhari. I want to say that nothing seems to work in this country, the best for this country is disintegration, let's go our separate ways.

Even though i love Buhari like my father, but i want to say that he's an Idiot, he has failed in all ramifications.. i plead with him to resign immediately and give place for competent hands to take over.
