AISHA BUHARI AND THE TRAGEDY OF HYPOCRISY IN NIGERIA
Dr. Doyin Odebowale writes:
I have read so much on Aisha since yesterday. Nigerians are a special breed. Suddenly, this woman is
not wanted in America! Buhari did not marry a child again. Her gold, diamond and platinum bracelets are
not topics for discussion.
We are moving out of recession indeed! Many of the hypocrites on Facebook beat their wives. Many are
so useless that they establish pepper soup joints for some useless dogs called women while their
children cannot feed at home. Many don't care about how their children school fees are paid.
Aisha is the CEO of a thriving company. One of Buhari's daughters is a lawyer. His girls are graduates.
I have read posts from some of my friends who, surprisingly, failed to see the statement credited to
Buhari as a joke. I have followed some of them on Facebook. I know most of them will not tolerate any
dissenting view from their wives.
Aisha is not in purdah. She is not confined to the kitchen, literally. I doubt if she still cooks. I would have
expected the new supporters of Aisha to ask Buhari about the location of the kitchen. Is it Aso Villa
where there exists a culinary complex?
Look at Aisha and tell us if she belongs to the category of oppressed women. The fact that she granted
the controversial interview bears eloquent testimony to Buhari's character.
She just returned from the US. That trip generated another kind of controversy. That seems not
important now.
Many of these hypocrites are not proud of their wives. Many of them pretend to love women but will
work against them.
Politicians abuse women sexually. They are play things. They only allow them when their unscrupulous
godfathers impose them and direct political slaves to vote.
Academics talk of "conference materials". These are people's wives, daughters, sisters, cousins, who
belong to everybody while pretending to be in some dubious relationships.
Lucky is she whose husband can proudly assert that she has a place in his bedroom. She is not sharing
this space with any woman to our knowledge. Buhari's religion allows him to marry four women.
If the president attempted to douse tension generated by the wife's interview, and we fail to appreciate
his joke, then our sense of humour appears morbid.
Nigerians did not elect Aisha. She has no official role in the constitution. She cannot decide on who gets
appointed into the government. If she complains that she does not know those in government, it means
Buhari cannot be accused of nepotism.
If she is pained that she is not involved in governance, that is a big plus for him. She was not on the
ballot during the last election. She should not pick ministers and heads of agencies for us.
Is this not part of the change we crave?
Hypocrisy is not a virtue.

Bla bla bla. The question is: "was the joke appropriate?"
There are certain things you shouldn't say in public especially in the circumstances he finds himself.
If Gej had made such joke, would he have been forgiven by you people ?
It's not just about how Nigerians see the joke, there a foreigners, especially powerful women politicians there too.

NAFDAC on strike? How will it affect the common man on the street?


Well, I no send. In other news.......please welcome my new house girl ......she's hardworking. Make una no envy me ooooo.


Kdiva....guess you will accept her in our home?

This ur house ehn, she correct . U sure say no be de other room she dey follow maintain as well as kitchen ?

Richiy:
These rules are quite normal. Except for the part of the "no tail on the dress" and just plain suit for the guys.

They just wanna kill somebody's swagggg

Except no. 17 that says blood tests must be conducted. I think that's one of the most important points. Marriage shouldn't be made too difficult.

Hygist:
A Twitter user shared these photos of what he called a bush baby, I have never seen one myself so I'm not sure of it

I hope it did not land inside soup oh !!

Hardeysolution:
A lot! Who are those that are corrupt? A president who says stealing is not corruption is not corrup? Certificate, certificate.. ...are you still in the era of undiluted stupidity? What now? Why say all this at the detriment of Nigeria's unity.. ......i no longer care, if Buhari is getting it right to my own understanding, go to hell haters.. ....

He asked a simple question but you replied with violence and aggression. Smh. Are you saying Buhari is above accountability ?

achieverme:
If you have any sense in your head at all, you will know those ministers are just bench warmers, figure heads and puppets. The real people ruling Nigeria are maman daura (or whatever his name is), Abu kyari, and the rest of the mafia.

Aisha, who is closer to them made the revelation.but empty souls like you would still prefer to follow bush even when you see road.

He has forgotten there's something called Federal character. Every state and region must be represented.

patriotic9jaboy:
As a yoruba man, i regret voting buhari because i never expected this betrayal attitude towards Tinubu who laboured so hard for him to emerge president. Tinubu remains a jewel in yoruba land and even renegades like fayose and ffk acknowledge him as a leader of the yoruba nation. Tinubu did not sell us into political slavery, the north simply betrayed the SW and we will vote out buhari in 2019 for this hardship we are currently experiencing. We yoruba's are sorry for voting buhari.

You can only speak for yourself. There are many others who believe Pmb is the best thing to happen to the SW.

This won't work in Naija except you work in a big multi National like Shell, Mobil etc. Even at times, some multi Nationals are looking fir ways to cut corners. Apart from that, getting a job is hard cos we have a lot of competition. In other words, employers think they are doing you a favour.

No worry. Your time go soon come. Make u no come Nairaland to talk say your husband lock you inside room.

Sorry beauty queen. I hope you didn't provoke him by your response.

martineverest:
mediocrity everywhere.

*You win a pageant,the next thing is to jump into acting(alex ekubo,bryan okwara etc)

*u win a reality show,the next step is to join acting( uti,christopher of ultimate search etc)

*u feature in a movie as 'waka pass',the next thing is to pay bloggers to promote u or xpose ur butt on instagram,u will automatically become a yeyebrity

*music is no longer favourable,the next step is to join nollywood.

No wonder nollywood new actors are not film-worthy

Wetin person go do ? The husting is real

That's huge. Are they organic ?

So when the lady was busy running all over the country campaigning for him, the old hag forgot she belonged to the kitchen?
Old foolish ungrateful cow

I don't believe there are people supporting him here. And worse is that some of them are women.

Today is my day. The day I was born.
I was a year older today, so much and so much fun.
Happy Birthday to me.

NLs show some love

Me too. Happy birthday.

notime3555:
Did anybody see the part that says that the CEO is just 32yrs....... Whattttt.

And a 32yr old person in Nigeria would be wailing over pdp and apc. Smh

That's why a good foundation is important. We have a long way to go.

But Yoruba ladies can be fine. I went to a Yoruba wedding sometime ago and I couldn't stop looking. From left, right and centre, they just surrounded me.

ayinba1:
It is rather unfortunate that some of us do not know when or how to speak. And if Mrs. Aisha is any wise, it is time to retrace her steps and salvage what's left. We thank God that Buhari did not grant her the powers of Turai or Sheepo;

Take note of the people supporting Mrs. Buhari and their general mindsets.

She did not bother commending the President on
- Release of Chibok girls
- Attempts to clean up the judiciary
- Stolen funds that are being recovered

I'll limit it to these for now
- The opulence she displayed at inaug,. and replying to Fayose were 2 big fails, she has terrible friends and advisers
- She had candidates who she wanted to get positions but were probably not qualified and Buhari did not oblige
- The appointed individuals were not people she knows (man knows man)

Even APC spokesman is supporting this nonsense, citing Saraki as "our leader" absurd!

If Mrs Buhari wants to remain relevant to the planned progress of this country, she needs coaches to help her or she should stay out of limelight. Mrs. Osinbajo is not any less educated than the President's wife.

But if she is done with the marriage and possibly plans to run for political office on her own clout, I would say there is nothing wrong with continuing in the same path although I doubt that she will carry her ward.

I have tried to be respectful in my post and apologies if I fell short.

What kind of friend or family will say such about you to the world Or did she not realize what she just did??

Madam... . You cannot cry more than the bereaved. Aisha Buhari is in a better position to comment about her husband and president than you are. You don't know half of what she knows. Abi you want take her place ?

flokii:
do you even know what the atmosphere was like then? what they said prior to that and after.. you just picked that statement and built bank on it. Even d yeye people that released that video had to cut that part out to fool the foolish ones.. what a pity

so many shallow and illogical minds on here now.. just so sad

Oh really ?
The atmosphere was cool and pleasant to make a foolish joke out of your wife while the world is watching.
He can as well tell the Chancellor of Germany that her place is in the kitchen in an equally pleasant atmosphere and call it a joke.

OJUcrook:
Senselessness is when you ban an Actress because she hugged a male Artist on a music video, but hail your Emir for marrying a 14 year old minor

kjhova:
Unless my English language skill is not up to par, everything is wrong with Mr. President's speech. It was condescending to his wife and it was degrading at the very least. The president's response suggested that Hajia Aisha (& by extension, the generality of women) ought to be busy in the kitchen and in the "other room" (what in Chaka's name does that even mean?) than to meddle in political matters.

The whole thing betrays the macho, parochial and ultra religious mindset of Buhari and above all his inability to realize or his disregard for the setting in which he was speaking. He said all that while sharing the stage with Angela Merkel, a woman, whom he had gone to solicit military hardware from. He ain't getting none of that for sure if this matter isn't properly handled.

Come to think of it, doesn't Buhari's comments rhyme with the writings of Paul the apostle in the bible books of Corinthians and others in which he suggested that women not be allowed to speak in church nor should women be allowed to lead over men?

The era of subjugating women is dying worldwide and the sooner some of this old or zealous goons realize that, the better.

Abeg oh. Dat one na blasphemy !!

LagosBoi2:
I left my family to sleep over at my former area just to vote for this man, I persuaded a lot of voters to vote for this man. I am disappointed in myself, I couldn't comment since last year because I have been observing all these things as well, This man is truly a mistake. I dislike men who still think of woman like this. A man who betrayed his benefactors and now his own family because of power, I may not like Jonathan but he is not power drunk, He respects women as a responsible man should, This buhari may divorce his wife and take in a 14yr old bride. I honestly don't want to complain before because I know some people will take advantage of it

Welcome to wailers club. The secretary will contact you shortly for the form.

I would not regard myself an extrovert, but, desperate times calls for desperate measures.

on random days, ill wear my best corporate look, visit eatries, parks, events, symposiums and just get talking with pple..
after the convo.. i go straight to the matter.. ,'' oga, epp me.. i need a job''.

then the reply comes,'' oh, really, so what can u do?''

i go, ''i am an engineering grad, hse competent, ISPON member, having some Nebosh certs, a chef , a multi-instrumentalist, a poet experienced in loans, facility management, personnel management and executive assistance.. sir, there must be something i can do for you.'' I get his card, and follow up.

To be frank, i have gotten many rebuffs, '' will you leave my presence this very minute, sorry try someone else, are you a 419er, excuse me... but it didnt deter me.
on a good day last month, I went about my normal routine of stalking.. met a great dude at a professional exam venue, we talked.. he called, fixed an interview.. i was the only dude present. I got the Job.

morale of this crazy story: i was a facility manager once, many cvs have been dropped in my office..i went through none. so i figured, how many folks go through cvs submitted online?
if you meet 5 new people everyday, there are chances you would meet somebody that needs one of your services, thats if you are very resourceful.. Ladies and gentlemen.. besides online applications, step out there and stalk these dudes, your skills, charm and wit might favor you.


i got a job , only interviewee, no application.

Congrats.
I got mine through an unexpected phone call from a friend I hadn't seen in years after all efforts didn't yield results. May be a miracle or sort.

delors:
Good. My position is, tell your dad to get the 10k. Buy new seeds and replant. And tell your dad that the herdmen be more watchful so their cows don't enter your land to do more damage especially when they are grazing.
Tell him to do all these in a friendly manner. Those guys, as you hav mentioned, have no formal education, no chill and no remorse. Any misunderstood move from ur dad could be perceived as an act of aggression. I am.not sure your hectares of maize is worth any bloodshed. Those guys could kill if things go out of hand.
And where is your own calculation of #60k coming from? That could be seen as an act if greed. No one would even give you that kind of money, Fulani or not, talk less of these guys. Rethink your position and approach everything with diplomacy, tact and caution.
We don't want to see any news if herdsmen killing people on some farmland in Ado ekiti because of a meagre 'how much'. A word is enough for the wise.

And stop the hatred yourself...why do u sound so hurt and hateful? Is it because they are not your tribe? #SoulSearchingTime

So you expect someone whose labour and income has gone down the drain not to feel hurt or hateful. I don't think you have put yourself in the op shoes. If your source of income has gone down the drain won't you feel hurt ? Have you considered the many hours of labour ?
And saying the the Op is greedy because he wants 60k shows how insensitive you are. Do you even know the actual worth of the damage ? I guess you don't. If 10k is the value of the crop damaged, how do you now expect people to make a living from farming.

Op, I know it's painful. It's just the way Nigeria is, there's no justice. Tell them you don't need their money and drop the issue. Don't pick up a fight cos they have nothing to lose and their brother is in power.

doggedemmy:
Nice one! Let them pay for the loss
A friend's father had this same fulani herdsmen issue in a village in Delta State. The cows, numbering over 50 entered into my friend's dad's cassava farm of more than 10 plots. This old man was shedding tears.
Few days latter we started seeing dead bodies of cows around. We no even care, na so we begin collect free meat o Later we found out that the deed was carried out by one baddo for the area. The guy sprayed one kind poisonous chemical around a plot of land where the cows normally visit. Naso God take bless our Christmas and new year that year. Fulani guys self run...

Them no come back come revenge because if their missing cows ? If the cows die of pesticides or whatever, the meat go still good

holyfather:
It was a joke, people.
I know everyone is hurting but we mustn't take it out on Buhari.
Make una take chill pills abeg.
He was even smiling when he said it.
It was condescending, but be it as it may, a joke.

.

Yeah, it was a joke and it was funny. But was it proper ?

Sweetguy25:
There are some things a President should never be caught saying. Denigrating womanhood is one of them. Meanwhile, he said this in front of one of the most powerful women in the world. How do you expect her to feel as she also someone's wife.

That's what they don't see. Yes, it was a joke. But was it proper considering where he was? It's something he could have said behind closed doors.
