Expression and Meaning
“To go a mango walk” – To steal another person’s mango fruits. 

The president of The Federal Republic of Nigeria is in dip sh*t, one bigger than himself and any that he has been lucky enough to maneuver away from; because this time he is so deep in it that only his humbleness and willingness to come to the realization that his time as the President of The so-called “Giants of Africa” Is up. 

We all know that having a disease or being sick doesn’t kill (or does not cause or do more damage), but the thought of the disease, the pressure from around, the criticism, discrimination and disappointment in oneself for not achieving personal goals and aims and the fear of death itself is what really kills.

As much as Nigerians don’t want to know the truth or some Nigerians rather; it is imperative that we call black, black and white, white; so as to help our sinking country Nigeria and in the process, save ourselves all from drowning.

It is high time we had come to terms with what has befallen us, and then work towards seeing how it can be solved for that is how to tackle life challenges. But unfortunately for Nigerians, in as much as there are countless professionals with doctorate degrees and high ranked professors in the country; The president is still being flown to a foreign land for “adequate” treatment. It is true that the facilities present in the country might not be enough to handle President Buhari’s chronic ailment, but past President Umar Musa Yar’Adua when he was Governor of Katsina State equipped the General Hospital with tools and types of equipment to handle his illness at the time; so why can’t Buhari have common sense.

There are many rumors been flown for free by tongues housed by different mouths around the country concerning what illness President Buhari is suffering from and this is no different only that there are substantial facts and proof to back up this claim which was carefully and patriotically written.

Buhari is suffering from a disease called Churg-Strauss Syndrome (and is this a question or a statement you decide). 

What is Churg-Strauss Syndrome (and is this a question or a statement you decide)? Churg-Strauss Syndrome is the disease that killed Umar Musa Yar’Adua. Yes, you read right; and there is above average chance that President Buhari might be facing the same fate as his fellow countryman. 

Symptoms of Churg-Strauss Syndrome

Lets first take a look at the symptoms of CSS (this is not a programming language so you better not look out for tags), and then you can add meaning to it and interpret the data on this page as you best understand.

1. Weight Loss – This disease causes weight loss and I implore us all to take a look at pictures of Buhari in his early days in the office of The President and pictures of him at this time and compare. Of all the pictures that have been sent to Nigerians, the president wears almost same robe…is our country’s economy so bad we can no longer buy good clothes for the Commander-in-Chief? Or perhaps the robe he wore might be adding shape to the body it is covering. In those photos, Buhari looks like a homeless man privileged to be sheltered in a property with class.

2. Fatigue – If there is anything I cannot read from the pictures of Buhari in London (I am wondering why Nollywood hasn’t made a movie from this already, what a good title) I can see his body language crystal clear, the smiles are not natural and the way he relaxes on the sofa/cushion shows you just how much fatigue the President is suffering from.

3. Cough – On National TV, President Buhari has shown signs of someone suffering from persistent cough disease; which affects the lungs and can cause some significant damage.
4. Do you know ear infection and achiness is also a symptom of Churg-Strauss Syndrome? The President has also suffered from ear achiness which caused temporal deafness.

So far Buhari has shown 4 major symptoms of a disease that was said to have led to the bitter death of former President Umar Musa Yar’Adua; which are namely Weight Loss, Fatigue, Cough, Ear Achiness. With this disease, there is more chance of death than survival and we need not be told of Yar’Adua’s story, how he stayed long in Saudi Arabia (Buhari has been out of the country for more than a month) and how his corpse was flown in.

Do you also know that both Yar’Adua and Buhari are from same states Katsina? Perhaps this disease is common in the region.Some might say Yar’Adua died of Pericarditis but according to research, this disease has same symptoms as Churg-Strauss.

To the Government we say, Nigerians demand the truth because we deserve the truth. Just like Fayose said, The Office of The President is a Public Office and from the moment he (Buhari) was sworn in, his life became public; so nothing and I repeat nothing should be hidden from the Nigerians that put their lives at risk by going to poll stations to vote.

PS: This piece of art bears no hatred or ill-wish for President Buhari, but seems to expose what might be the truth.





Read a testimony of Churg-Strauss patient and see if all he said can’t be related to President Buhari 

6. Greater portion of Nigerians hate him and his unproductive policies
It is not news anymore that Nigerians economy is in a worse state after so many years, since Nigeria’s economy state was revealed in the first quarter of the year, and also tagged “In recession”, the president and his team has been doing a lot by implementing policies after policies, practicing different economic tactics to lift Nigeria out of recession,  unfortunately they have achieved nothing.
Nigeria’s ministerial list and appointments are one you would definitely laugh at and pause a bit before asking, like seriously?



Former military personnel made Minister of Sports, a Doctor made Minister of Power and Electricity and someone who couldn’t give an answer to a simple arithmetic Minister of Finance when more productive and capable hands are available; how then would Nigeria’s economy get out of recession. the price of commodities in the local markets is fast increasing because of the cost of production and processing which basically is caused by the exchange rate at which Nigerians Naira is at with the US Dollar.
There has never been a time when citizens of Nigeria has cried for the unseating, impeaching and death of their President just less than 2 years into his 4 years as President.

7. He is clueless and incapable of running a democratic government
You know when someone is incapable of something when it takes them a long time to start off or kick off a project. It took Buhari almost a year before he could choose and announce his Ministers. A task that took his predecessor a much lesser time to overcome; The worst past is, after much delay the one-eared President still ended up choosing a Minister who addressed Nigeria as “The United States of Nigeria” instead of “The Federal republic of Nigeria”; this got many Nigerians asking where the f**k his brains were. Funny right, yeah…that’s the person Nigerians have as a Sport Minister. To make matters worse, after the Falcons (Nigerian Women National Football Team) won the Women Championship in November 2016, the Sports Minister when questioned on why the Team are yet to received their allowances said the Nigeria Football Association (NFA) never knew The Falcons (Nigeria) would win. Tell me how you’d feel if this happened in your country.

8. He is discriminatory
If he does not want to give them what they ask for well that’s his decision, but he should at least give them something that will quench their desire for independence. After all, there weren’t movements for self-determination until he started his appointments, declared his favorite ethnic groups and revealed those he saw as enemies. If he had not been biased, no one would be carrying placards and banners with his picture and a text that read “Tyrant Buhari”, Twitter would not have had hashtags like “#TyrantBuhari” Trending (yes, did trend).

By the appointment Buhari made, he has revealed his favorite ethnic groups out of over 100 ethnic groups in which 3 are majors in the country. Out of the four (4) geo-political zones in Nigeria, President Buhari favors just two (2) namely North (Hausas)and South-West (Yorubas), and why? Because the other two geopolitical zones South-South (Niger Deltas) and South-East (Ibos) voted for the incumbent president at the time of the elections

9. He has no balls
Even a religious book said it, can a man who cannot handle his home be a leader?
Buhari is practically a President without balls, for gone are the days of his youths and military days when he forcefully took ladies for his comfort and marched with his regiments of soldiers. Buhari is older than his wife by a margin of over 30 years. What a ridiculous man, marrying a young girl as a man he was. This is definitely child abuse but what would anyone have done then, he was a general and he does things as he deems fit.

But what has happened today, he cannot even stand to his own wife, for just a push or a shove would send him to a hospital and possibly end his already counting days considering his chronic health conditions which are unfairly hidden from Nigerians.

He is scared, so scared and afraid of falling off his pride and ego, and this has made him surround himself with 95 percent northerners and Muslims. Not more than 5 persons from the South-East are in his cabinet. Talking about the military forces, all heads of every military officers are northerners and Muslims, all! He has no balls that is why he shoots and kills unarmed men and women in the country who have protested his bad leadership. In Buhari lies no atom of honor or conscience; neither is there an iota of positive idea; he is synonymous to Arsenal FC's coach Arsene wenger.

He can’t solve problems without using the Army, DSS and other agencies to his favour. He has no word in his mouth and no common sense of approach and definitely no life in his heart; this is why he photocopied President Obama’s speech and failed to uplift the heart of the people he leads on the Independent Day, instead he vexed Nigerians with his meaningless and long talks that weren’t consoling and inspiring.

10. He should be unseated!
With all these been said, it is very vital that for the country Nigeria to spring up and in deeds remain as “Africa’s Giant” and “Largest Economy” as it was when Buhari’s predecessor Jonathan was president.
Noting down the talking points; Trump has an enemy in Muhammadu Buhari, he has an anti-democracy leader to deal with. Donald Trump promised to be president for all Americans despite the fact that over 40 percent of Election Day voters were against him, he still knows his civic and political duties as a citizen and as The President of the United States. And when he bosses The Oval office, he should know that he is not just the president for all Americans, he is all the president of the whole free world because he is the most powerful man in the world and that means he should overlook the brutal mass killings perpetrated by leaders and dictators. He should not overlook the denial of the act of freedom of speech, freedom of self-interest, freedom of self-expression, right to an attorney, right to a fair trial.
Today in Nigeria, The Judiciary which is meant to be the hope of the comman man has been turned and is been dictated behind doors from the office of the president. Judges are not comfortable, judges verdict are completely useless and basically has no meaning if and when it does not go in line with the opinions of those in the white house.

Judges are been arrested and unfairly tried for bribery cases, and if this corruption cases backfires and involves some in his (Buhari) cabinet he closes the case and it is heard of no more.

When the First Lady was said to be involved in one Halliburton Scandal in which $100M was said to be laundered and used for bribery, there was an identity conflict as there was someone else whose name was also Aisha Buhari (but resides in the US) but has no court case and has never been arrested before and wasn’t after this case. The United States Government gave to Nigeria an information which contained details of those involved in the scandal and Nigeria was charged with the duty of bringing to justice Aisha Buhari; but unfortunately, they died off like it never came up.

When the President’s Army General, Buratai was involved in an asset scandal where some assets of his not found in the declaration of assets document where exposed, the president did nothing; but he surely would involve himself in this sort of case had it been an opposition party member.

Buhari is not a leader, he is not a president and he is definitely not a father, but nature has made him the President of the Federal republic of Nigeria. If PEOTUS Trump really wants to start a non sugar-coated leadership and Make America Great Again, he should not overlook issues of this sort that may become bigger problems in years to come.

President Elect Donald Trump should act when time is due and lawfully drag down Muhammadu Buhari with a pinch from his fingers!

Firstly it would be empirical to state that this piece is completely logical and not politically influenced, and the judgment is fully based on obtainable facts and is defendable. Having said this, it would be inequitable to label this factual-listed contribution as a politically motivated one when its contents are crystal clear and are meant to reveal to the world the real demon veiled as the Commander-in-Chief of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.  

Since the swearing in of the incumbent President of Nigeria, the country has undeniably undergone a sequence of changes and transformations as was promised by the sitting party before the election; but is it the “CHANGE” every Nigerian was told of, are Nigerians experiencing the “CHANGE” they hoped for? There is truth in the fact that we that follow up world political news will agree that Nigerians are experiencing positive changes. 

President Buhari

From announcing that he would be president of a selected few, unlawfully arresting and detaining opposing party members, suing the House of Senate to starting a campaign to make him unanswerable to the legislative and judiciary (arms of government) tagged “#iStandWithBuhari”. Nigeria’s democracy is without a doubt in a shambolic state and if not rescued now, just like other countries before now Nigeria would be in a dictatorship!

1. He funded Clinton’s presidential campaign

History was made when Donald Trump was democratically elected (58th Presidential Election) as President Elect of The United States of America (PEOTUS) on the 8th November to be the 46th President of The United States of America.

Later on, it was alleged that The President of The Federal Republic of Nigeria funded the presidential campaign of Hillary Clinton, a presidential candidate of the Democrats for the November 8th Presidential Elections, which Donald Trump won in grand style which came as a shock for many who prior to the elections have concluded Hillary Clinton would win the election owing to the stats and information the media presented.

The information was supposedly leaked by a nongovernmental group, known as American Black Group for Democracy. The President of The Federal Republic of Nigeria allegedly supported the Hillary Clinton campaign with a sum that amounts to $500M, though the presidency has publicly denied this claims.

What further fuelled these allegations was the fact that during the visit of the Secretary of State John Kerry, he only visited the northern leaders of course after having a closed-door meeting with the President of Nigeria Muhammadu Buhari. And backing up this claim, it would be necessary to say that President Muhammadu Buhari is NOT fond of President-Elect Donald Trump (giving the fact that he is a Muslim and a Sharia Law activist); and for this reason would in his utmost capabilities try and do anything just to see that Trump lost the US Presidential elections. 

To make matters worse, he delayed his congratulatory message to Donald Trump; and when he finally sent his message he did it on social media instead of calling the office of the POETUS as did other African leaders. 

2. He is  a dictator and not a democratic leader

Since President Muhammadu Buhari took over as the President of Nigeria, everything has gone from bad to worse, and the feasibility of it becoming better is far from happening at the moment. 
Just under 2 Years of reign as the President, his tenure has overseen over 550 (this figure can be confirmed in the letter Congressman Tom Marino wrote to State Secretary John Kerry, urging him to terminate the United State’s assistance to Nigeria until he desists from his undemocratically system of governance) unlawful, brutal and unjustified killings of men, women and children by the military under the command of President Buhari.

And with his preference in choosing to silence and annihilate anyone he foresees as a political threat and opposition has seen many locked behind bars (some in secret prisons located in the Aso Rock (Presidential Villa) even when a court acquits. Notable groups like the Independent People of Biafra (IPOB) among others seeking referendum have been greeted with an iron fist; where the military has often opened fire whenever they gathered for peace movement demanding attention from international bodies.

Over 50 of these who are fathers, mothers and children to many have fallen by the gunshot of the Nigerian Military under the command of the dictator Muhammadu Buhari.

3. He is corrupt and hypocritical

Since taking up the corruption fight, although he said before the election during his campaign that if he gets elected as the President, he would let bygone be bygone. He would not probe any past President or opposition party members. But that he has done and has done it to the fullest and to the best of his capabilities. But the fact still remains that up on till this moment his corruption fight is one-sided; he fights only the opposition party members and is yet to probe and lay a finger on any of his party’s faithful. 

It is important to state that most of the top guns of the Presidents party All Progressive Congress (APC) formerly had their allegiance to the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) where which the immediate past President Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan pledges his allegiance.

President Muhammadu Buhari concealing no hatred, went for and arrested a former military officer retired Major General Dasuki (served as the NSS Chief during President Goodluck Jonathan’s term) who was among those that arrested Buhari after he (Buhari) led a military coup which saw Shehu Usman Shagari overthrown. Same faith has befallen many of his predecessor’s ministers and aides who have refused to join his party and support his administration. It is 100 percent correct to say he goes with the mentality of “If you are not with him…you are his enemy” and he surely will treat you as one. 

4. He is a murderer

Buhari is guilty of so many charges against humanity and yet no international organization has acted regarding the issues mentioned. It is at this moment clear that international organizations both governmental and nongovernmental have paid deaf ears and are playing the “not concerned” game. From Britain to America, and the world at large, there are powerful leaders and organizations that if and when they take up this issue, can resolve it; but yeah, why haven’t any African leader stood against this, why haven’t any world leader stood against this.

Maybe they have not been informed or seen it yet on TV, this is because the Nigerian Media are not free to publicize and broadcast information of this sort to the nation and to the world. The Nigerian media are been controlled from the office of the president, there is no freedom of journalism.
The Nigerian Army under the command of President Buhari through the Army General Buratai, has committed abominable acts by using excess military force on humanity and are yet to be queried based on this. The Independent People of Biafra IPOB), Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB), Shitites etcetera are all victims of President Buhari’s inhumanity and insanity.

The love ones of those that have fallen do not even get to see the bodies of their own that died while standing for themselves, they don’t get the chance to give final funeral rights; for their bodies are thrown into moving waters and some left to rotten in forests.
President Elect Trump Should Unseat Buhari!

5. He is against the judiciary and the legislative arms of government

Since Buhari took over as the boss in Aso Rock (Presidential Villa) things have gone from bad to worse in Nigeria. The exchange rates, the level of international trade, the unity among Nigerians, the unity among the decision makers among so many others. 

The peace level in Nigeria has indeed reduced drastically since Buhari took over as President, particularly after he said he that the 5% that did not vote for him should not expect the same treatment the other 95% who voted for him gets; this sparked anger among so many Nigerians and this then led to the resurgence of several groups of the Niger Delta Militants vandalizing crude oil and gas pipelines of high profile companies which reduced Nigeria’s production of oil by over 1,500 barrels per day and possibly contributed to the decline of the country’s economy.
