Buhari Remains the Only Sitting President to Have Addressed Nigerians in Hausa — Osuntokun

The late President Buhari achieved his aspiration to live and die as a Northern hero. His military regime was a dictatorship and remains the only administration in Nigeria where both the head of state and his deputy came from Hausa-Fulani stock. However, he also had a strong reputation as a man of integrity and a crusader against corruption. While he was a hero of the north he did not govern well. His appointments were categorically a northern dominated government

Wetin concern Mallam nn

He doesn't know how to speak English correctly

And what did Nigeria gain from that apart from disaster

Waoooooo! What a great achievement

60% of Nigerians understand the language....
Only 40% understands English.

That's because the largest population in Nigeria speak and understand hausa.

Late rotten buhari was also an illiterate with questionable certificates.

That was the original buhari before the fake one came in according to MNK.

Wrong statistics. You can do better

NotOgaSeun:

We should start frying Akara to this news

na you sabi
I don’t know why all these Hausa people just assume that everyone understands or speak hausa

You call an Hausa man on phone….the first thing he speaks is Hausa
You meet them on the road…the same thing

The North were mute and did not complain when Buhari appointment was a Northern dominated government. But when majority of Tinubu appointments came from the south they begin to raise eyebrow and threaten fire

lol. Is that a backward thinking or forward one ?

Was Tunde Idiagbon hausa/Fulani? Abi what's this man saying?

And ever since, Nigeria has not remained the same again

As thinly as we anticipate one true Nigeria.

No one is arguing on this one since it was not Remi Tinubu they are talking about...

Na Indian dem for dey speak..
Modern slave.

Aboki na still aboki, e no dey change

Is dat an achievement we should be celebrating

Nonsense talk, common wealth was still shared like petrol subsidy, dollar, education, capital projects.

Emilokan is a total disaster 😑.

And to think those people from a particular place believed it is so appalling...

Buhari was the worst thing to govern Nigeria. He was beyond Satan itself.

man of integrity and a crusader against corruption indeed

ARISHEM:

Tinubu appointments came from Yoruba, stop monkeying around

Lagos-Ibadan media doing their usual work forgetting thir paymaster Tinubu is worse than Buhari in almost all ramifications. Buhari was far more democratic and never intruded into the operations of opposition parties.

So that one too na achievement

That man was the worst mistake Nigerians made. He made tribalism and divisionism a common place in the country.
Before him Nigerians, Igbo, Hausa or Yoruba all feel like one.
He has no idea how to unite the country like yaradua or Obasanjo did.
The effects of his mismanagement is still ongoing today.
