My Problem With Buhari - By Charles Ogbu

Posted by Thandiubani on Sun 28th May, 2017 - tori.ng

In this explosive piece, a concerned Nigerian has captured some of the reasons why most Nigerians are not happy with President Muhammadu Buhari.

President Muhammadu Buhari
 
One of the most outrageous accusation I've had to contend with is the accusation that I hate president Muhammadu Buhari. Some people believe my issues with him is not unconnected with the fact that he's a northern Muslim.
 
I consider the people who make this unfounded allegation as either criminally ignorant or mischievous or even both.
 
First, the late president Umar Musa Yar'Adua was a Northerner. He was a Muslim. And he was from the same Katsina state as Buhari. Yet, even the devil was in love with him. Nigerians loved him and even held church vigil praying for him when he was ill. When Yar'Adua came to office, he crashed the price of fuel which his predecessor, Matthew Aremu Olusegun Obasanjo hiked. Umaru didn't just stop at reducing the price of fuel, he also reversed the sale of national assets the Ota farmer, OBJ, had gifted to his cronies and friends under the guise of privatization. The late university lecturer-turned president did so many other wonderful things. He gave love to Nigerians and got the same love in return.
 
Now, let's look at Muhammadu Buhari, another Northern Muslim katsina-born fulani man just like the good man, Yar'Adua of the blessed memory.
Buhari won a keenly contested election which was preceded by one of the most divisive campaigns in Nigerian history but rather than embark on healing process, he went to a foreign media to boast of how he would discriminate against those who didn't vote for him as if the whole country was under obligation to support a particular candidate in an election. And true to his word, this man started implementing a demonic 97% versus 5% policy of discrimination.
 
Just when we thought we've seen it all, this man graduated from ethno-religious discrimination to using soldiers trained, equipped and paid with tax payers money to kill the same citizens he's being paid to protect while protecting the same terrorists he's being paid to kill.
 
Members of Boko haram once rated the deadliest terror group are being released from prison and gifted with a juicy amnesty package and fulani herdsmen once rated the 4th deadliest terror group got 1 billion naira in the 2016 budget and are currently being protected by a strong army taskforce which Buhari himself donned a military fatigue for the very first time in over 3 decades to launch, a day after these fulani criminals killed not less than 81 people in Benue state. Just so you know, these two terror groups all share the same region and religion as president Buhari and they are both from the 97% region.
 
Meanwhile, right here in the East, members of the Indigenous People Of Biafra do not bear arm. They neither kill, maim, rape nor bomb people into extinction like the aforementioned two terror groups do. Yet, Buhari has continued to visit them with the crudest and most primitive form of death.
On February 9th, 2016, members of IPOB had gathered inside a school field in Abia state, to pray for the release of Nnamdi Kanu. They were not blocking any road, they were not even on the street. They were inside a school field singing praises to their God. (I have the video) Yet, Buhari's uniformed murderers invaded their praying space, took positions as though they were targeting ISIS terrorists and opened fire on these unarmed prayer-chanting Igbo son and daughters and parents. At the end of the Rain Of Bullets, dozens lay lifeless while hundreds were injured. Dead bodies of the IPOB members were confiscated by the killer security forces.
 
No single policeman or soldier has been punished for this heinous crime. Don't take my word for it. Do your own finding.
 
On the night of May 29th, 2016, IPOB members had gathered inside a church in Onitsha to remember Biafra heroes but right inside this Christian holy place of worship, Buhari's killing machine came visiting. There, dozens of IPOB were killed, most of them in their sleep, according to a detailed report released by Amnesty International. On the 30th, these same uniformed vampires went to different locations in Onitsha and killed hundreds of IPOB members (Amnesty International put the figure at not less than 150 but suggested it could be far higher than that) and bathed others with raw acid to ensure they die a very slow but painful death.
 
After killing these unarmed non-violent IPOB members and spraying others with acid, this same army burnt the dead bodies of these IPOB members to conceal evidence of their savagery and even started going from hospital to hospital arresting the injured and taking them to undisclosed locations. Don't take my word for it. Please search for that Amnesty International report.
 
Now, here is where it gets worse, during a live aljazeera interview, an Aljazeera Journalist wanted Muhammadu Buhari to watch the video of the murderous activities of his soldiers against IPOB but this conscience-less man refused. In fact, his countenance changed the moment the woman mentioned the topic. Boldly written all over his face were, "those soldiers should have simply wiped these useless people off the surface of the earth"
 
Even Adolf Hitler could not have been that heartless as to refuse watching a small portion of that video clip. He could have watched it and pretend to feel outraged and say empty stuff like "we will investigate this and take appropriate action". But Buhari proved to the whole world that he is completely deaf, dumb and blind to the sanctity of the life of the human person by refusing to watch that video.
 
As I write this, no single soldier has been punished for this barbarism.
 
Let all these sink.
 
Is this the same conscience-less sadistic hate-filled Daura-cular that some of you are expecting me respect and even pray for his recovery???
 
How do some of you guys sleep at night after riding roughshod over other people's pain and misery just so you could be thought liberal??
 
For some of you Christians, when your bible asks you to pray for your leaders, did it say you should pray for murderers and killers of your brethren???
 
How many Christians have been gruesomely sent to their Maker in Southern kaduna by the govt-sponsored fulani terrorists??
 
Have you guys ever heard that the Fulanis attacked any Muslim dominated area even by mistake??? Una don hear am before?
 
When Bridgette Agbohime was butchered by Islamic fundamentalists in Kano, did Buhari not imply she was killed for disrespecting Islam? Were her killers not set free by the sharia govt of Kano state?? What of evangelist Eunice Elisha butchered for preaching her gospel right here in Abuja? Was anyone punished for her killing?
 
I can understand an Hausa/fulani or a Yoruba muslim man asking for respect and prayers for Buhari. But an Igbo man or any other southerner or Christian canvassing for respect and prayers for Buhari, this I can never understand. It is the height of self-hate. It is as moronic as a Jew asking for prayers for the Nazi.
 
Why should I pray for Buhari to get well knowing fully well that that would only mean more death and sorrows for me and my kind?
 
I respect the office of the president but I don't respect a president who takes great joy in butchering his own people.
 
Buhari's problem has nothing to do with mere administrative errors. No! The old man is just a hopeless Islamic fundamentalist whose sole guiding principle is deep-seated hatred for people who don't share his region, religion and ancestry.
 
I don't hate Buhari as a person because the truth is, he's not worthy of my hate. It is the murderer in him that I loathe. Hating a certified death merchant is not hate. It is called self preservation.
 
Buhari hates for a living. His very existence depends on hating people of other region and religion. He is a prisoner to his own hate-filled nature. He is a man far consumed in his own hate. He doesn't even love himself, else, he would have since resigned to go take care of his dilapidated health. How can I love a man who doesn't even love himself??
 
Only a man who was born without a conscience will love a president who derive great pleasure from killing his own people.
 
As an Igbo man, I find it criminally offensive being asked to respect Buhari. Respect to the office of the president and respect to the president are two different thing. If you don't know the difference between the two, then you probably know nothing!
