I Sometimes Miss My Way In Aso Villa - President Buhari by BabaNath(m): 11:11pm On Sep 16, 2015
President Muhammadu Buhari shocked his interviewer in Paris today that he sometimes misses his way in Aso Presidential Villa, an expansive palace serving a dual purpose as office and residence for an incumbent Nigerian leader.

It was built in the late 80s and a former military president, Ibrahim Babangida first occupied it in 1991, after he moved the central government from Lagos to Abuja, months after an aborted coup.

President Buhari was also a former Nigerian leader that ruled from Dodan Barracks in Obalende Lagos, from January 1984 to August 1985, when he was toppled by Babangida.

Asked today by an interviewer on France 24, whether Aso Rock was like the Government House he left in 1985.

Buhari answered: It was not the same place. The last time I was there, I was in the barracks. This time I am in a palace. At times, I can’t find my way around. It is so big so much that it must be expensive to maintain. But it is there, it cannot be removed.”

Asked whether he is now a different man, he answered:

“I don’t think basically, I am a different man. I came back to power under a different system.”

Buhari moved into the Villa on 21 June, more than three weeks after he was sworn-in. His predecessor, Goodluck Jonathan, had approved some renovation work on the Villa, which stretched far beyond his tenure.President Muhammadu Buhari shocked his interviewer in Paris today that he sometimes misses his way in Aso Presidential Villa, an expansive palace serving a dual purpose as office and residence for an incumbent Nigerian leader.

A brainless illiterate indeed........

The slave under me now has tagged it a joke. Anything about the brainless one is perfect.



Sometimes I begin to wonder what will become of the slaves if Biafra finally emerge, and they are left with their almajiri masters...... Now it's part-time slavery, by then it will be full-time. Fixing of handcuffs and chains to their hands, legs, and neck will be their new swag....... Can't wait


Quote me not, unless you're a registered slave.

Only an ignoramus will claim there is a punchline there. Don't even try to spin this in the direction that he was trying to claim the Villa is too expensive and magnificent. Its common knowledge that PMB talks first before considering his words

Utter nonsense. That was not the President's line of thinking. It was not figurative, but literally. The President gets lost from time to time, period.

My brother, the pain in them is just too much. Going through their comments, I'm even starting to fear on their behalf. I wonder how long they'll remain this pained.
