People like you continue to believe these lies. Your problem is not Buhari but Arewaphobia. While you were attacking Buhari on that issue, we felt it's the north that you're stereotyping. We felt under attack because there are still remnants of you who believe that anything from the north couldn't be educated.

When you clowns were jumping around calling the President all sorts of name, you were a child right? Well since you have elected to elect an unlettered bigot, semi-illiterate shall be the name of Buhari for the duration of his presidency, and this is not tied to performance!
