It’s official: Former Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari is dead. But instead of silence and mourning alone, Nigerians are asking the real question:

“Wait… So who has been ruling us since 2017?”

🔥 Did Buhari Really Die Years Ago?
From as far back as 2017, wild rumors swept across Nigeria that Buhari had passed away during one of his long medical trips to London — and was replaced by a lookalike “Jubril from Sudan.”

Now that he has been confirmed dead in London at 82, many are boldly saying:

“We knew it! Buhari died long ago!”

🧠 The Clone Theory That Shook Nigeria
This wasn’t just your average rumour. It grew into a national obsession:

WhatsApp chats exploded with “proof” of his death.
YouTubers posted videos with side-by-side photos, claiming his ears and fingers had changed.
IPOB leader Nnamdi Kanu shouted it from rooftops:
“That man in Aso Rock is not Buhari!”
It was funny to some, but deeply suspicious to millions.

📉 Why So Many Believed It
Let’s be honest — the signs were there:

Buhari was gone for over 100 days in 2017.
When he returned, he looked different, spoke less, and was rarely seen in public.
He skipped key events, avoided interviews, and stayed mostly silent.
In a country where the government rarely tells the full truth, the people filled in the blanks.

🗣️ Buhari’s Response? “It’s the Real Me.”
In 2018, during a trip to Poland, Buhari finally addressed the rumors:

“It’s the real me, I assure you.”

But for many Nigerians, that wasn’t enough. Trust had already been broken. The mystery only got deeper.
And now, in 2025, the confirmation of his death feels to some like a delayed announcement of something that happened years ago.

💬 Nigerians Are Talking — Loudly
Social media is on fire right now. Here’s what people are saying:

🗯️ “I told you all back then — he died in 2017!”
🗯️ “So we were ruled by a ghost for 8 years?”
🗯️ “Whether clone or not, Nigeria still suffered.”

Even some political insiders are dropping cryptic posts, fueling more suspicion.

🚨 Why the Theory Refuses to Die
This wasn’t just gossip — it was a symptom of something bigger:
👉 Lack of transparency
👉 Suspicious silences
👉 And deep mistrust in leadership

The “Jubril” theory may sound like a joke, but it tapped into real fear — that citizens don’t know the truth about their leaders.

👑 Now That He’s Gone… What’s the Truth?
Buhari’s confirmed death in 2025 ends the speculation on paper. But in the minds of many Nigerians, it raises more questions than it answers.

Was it really Buhari in Aso Rock after 2017?

Or have we all just been played for years?

🧾 Final Word from HotFrom9ja
Buhari is gone, but the mystery of his identity lives on. Whether you believe he was cloned, replaced, or just changed after illness — one thing is clear:

Nigeria will never forget the “Jubril from Sudan” era.

Jubril is now released acting is over let jubril go and enjoy the money he made acting buhari. Anybody that doubts me should tell us where Aisha and Yusuf buhari has been all these while.

Shawarmagirl:
Nnamdi Kanu might be right. Let's wait one person might spill the secret out one day just like they did about the Rat in Aso Rock.

Hmmm..... Nnamdi Kanu really use better soap take brain wash you sha.

Should not be any where near governance put many to death because he wants to be celebrated. Riot in pieces.

Died a long tym ago

Very simple and straight forward.

Where is Aisha BUHARI and her Son?..

They made sure they didn't see another Yaradua and they achieved it. It's that simple.

Same MNk said Atiku is from Cameroon...

Lai Mohammed used it against Atiku in elections.

Why will they use Atiku information,but that of BUHARI is now false? Anyway, where is Aisha and her Son? Can't they be around to mourn their departed?

Keep joking.. people are already woke.

Will the conspiracy theorists ever rest?

Why do people create a scenario in their head and then say everything to make it look real.

The Sudanese body double theory is childish.

You mean Aisha and her son are somewhere in your house?. If not tell us where they are. Like I said, Kanu soap nah better soap jare. Even Buhari can be said to be from Niger so Atiku from Cameron as alledged by Kanu is just one of those things.

Una use Atiku own campaign na...abi na lie sef?

Selective Amnesia dey do una

And Lia Mohammed quoted Kanu lol. 😂😂😂😂

Think outside the box and try thinking for yourself instead of letting one elder deceive you constantly.

Who released the Atiku and Cameroon link? Nnamdi Kanu. Who used it as campaign banter Lai Mohammed. Why evading the obvious facts

That's something.

After Buhari left office there was no occasion you saw both Buhari and Aisha together unlike joha and Patience.

Which link? Abeg try to be serious nah.

Connect the dots and you see the scam. Aisha knows the truth. She is far from their reach and they had better thread carefully with her because she can expose all.

BUHARI was a Two year President, the other 6years were run by a BODY DOUBLE.

Don't argue everything you hear especially when it has to do with Nigeria leadership .

Remember when Babachir lawal said and I quote "If I tell what's in aso rock, Nigeria will scatter."
Buhari was the president then .

The screenshot below was Oshiomhole making same threat till he was compensated .

Look, this is 21th century, technology has gone far more than what it used to be back then . This is 2025 where ladies with flat backside can now get bigger backside with money if they want to so don't argue.

What do you mean by which link? Do you need a link to my submission?

Since Obidients believe Buhari only rule for ,2years before his demise, it is fair enough too back Atiku and alllowed him complete the tenure of the north, Obi should not contest, he should support Atiku

This is funny, you know

I'm not supposed to argue but believe anything and everything said because....

Do you really think the PMB that handed over to Tinubu was a body double? Like a clone?

Common!

... and yes, I know technology has advanced.

Remember when Abba Kyari printed Caps,t-shirts etc etc, declaring to run for Presidency? This was under the FAKE BUHARI, who earlier said that any correspondence to him must be routed through Abba kyari.

These are just snippets...the facts are numerous .

The language CLONE was the mistake. The right term is BODY DOUBLE, and they indeed had a BODY DOUBLE of BUHARI replace the real BUHARI who died in London.

One conspiracy theorist said : 'When the Northern Vultures gathered some weeks ago to plan the removal of Tinubu and began the Coalition destabilization against Tinubu, I knew the time was up for that Jubril. Aishat did not even live with him after presidency, she couldnt allow herself to be touched by a character whose contract helped her mint as much naira for as much dollars was available to be laundered. How can a foreigner be allowed to usurp Nigeria's democracy and be used to remove a Southern President in the next election'

Could this be true?

Don't be surprised in less than 3 months you'd hear 'Aisha has passed'.

Facts. Aisha is disposable but she hasn't spoken out, so she is not a threat. She is just protesting with her actions.

She can't receive visitors to Daura, over a man that is not her husband. Check am na!!

There could be an element of truth in what the op said
You know politicians are preparing for the 2027 election and the northern elites wouldn't want Tinubu to campaign with a living Buhari hence the announcement of his death. A living Buhari would've been an added advantage to PBAT cos Buhari wouldn't want to be seen as a betrayer of the party that made him.
