Isit Your Cake?

ebuclassic18:
so dats the only tin u see,free ursef from hate

AreaFada2:
Really? Hahahaha!
If you have never seen such it is really a big surprise. I cannot imagine any average person that watches international TV channels not having seen it.

But note, journalists from foreign countries that operate a different system often call him former president. But American people and those who know never put former when introducing him or addressing him directly live. In newspapers it is different mostly. They put "former".

Dude you are the one who seek this knowledge, put in some effort. Try YouTube. I have known this fact for decades already.

Why must u b d one killing ur self over dis ....did Buhari complained ??

KingOfAmebo:
So you mean with all the explanation given to you by tonyebarcanista on why GEJ is still refered to as Mr. President you still don't understand. It is now clear zombies need help. Hate for GEJ can't make you reason and understand properly again...see your life.

How old are you kid?...don't kill yourself over a man that is enjoying himself and his family. You die nobody knows someone left the planet, he dies the whole world mourns...you see the difference?

odomanis:
Is it paining you ? Who doesn't know he is former ? Senators that are still addressed as senator nko? bola tinubu is this addressed as Senator bola Ahmed Tinubu,what is the difference? there are important things to talk about and you are here talking about title.Mcheew !

Since we copied American political system blindly, that's how it is in America.

It is still President Clinton, President Bush, President Carter, etc.

Even Trump still calls Hilary Secretary Clinton.

If we revert to our original Westminster system, then it will become Former Prime Minister, once PM out of office.

Until then, if ever.

zubby29:
even Clinton is still being referred as president Clinton. dat title remain with them for life

tonquendo4u:
Once a president,always Mr president.ITIMPATAKA

MONITZ:
Yes I know he is a former president and I agree with u on this no doubt, bt don't u think adding that appellation would ve been superfluous? Just my little thought anyway.

aalangel:
It's still President Bill Clinton...these things don't change.

kingdaro:
you an still regard them as president

Jozibrainz99:
Do u hv any problem with dat?

Jozibrainz99:
Do u hv any problem with dat?yes in case of future generations, if they were ask if GEJ is president of Nigeria or former president of Nigeria?

dejavski:
Bill Clinton in USA is still addressed as 'Mr President'
Same goes to Obama when he leaves office... it's a title that will remain with u 4eva

chuggy:
So u know it is president buhari that is writing on the cake, and ur still calling GEJ...haba

Generalyemi:
u need orientation... once a president of senator,he or she will always be addressed as a
President or a senator

abbk000:
Have you not heard them say "President Bush" "President Regan" "Secretary Clinton" "General Buhari" before he became president

Once you've held such high office the title is for life... no need for former as the world knows he's not a sitting president.

MONITZ:
How?? U mean former president should also ve be written on the cake too? And how does it sound to the ears?

Forwetinnah:
Sour belle is allowed

Whynotthetruth:
WRITTEN boy

TonyeBarcanista:
Gosh! The title is the "President", the status is "former". When referring to him, it is the prerogative of the writer to either publish or ignore the status as long as the reference is not the Office of the President.

TonyeBarcanista:
Because they are referring to him and not the office. If it was the office, nobody would call him Mr President.

Don't forget that though a former General, Buhari was usually addressed as "Gen Buhari"... Also factor the cases of former Senators and Ambassadors; and former ministers and Reps that still go with the Honourable title.

talktonase:
president of ijaw people union!

TonyeBarcanista:
The President as a "title" can be used to refer to former occupant of the office just like a former Senator is called Senator and former Ambassadors are called Ambassadors.

However, the former occupants will not be referred to when talking about the position.

TonyeBarcanista:
Once a President, the title remains with you till death
