The 2 Most Difficult Times For Buharists

The first most difficult period to be & remain a Buharist was in 2016,d year of economic recession. After experiencing 2 consecutive quarters of declining growth,d FG on August 31, 2016 announced formally dt d nation had entered recession

But even b4 d announcement, we all knew we were into it. A module of garri cost N350(now N150). A pack of 4 Eva bathn soap was sold for N750(now N600). A tube of family size toothpaste was N350(now N260). D effect was telling..it ws bitn but it ws never d fault of d govt of d day

Oil price had been on steady fall and even the 'rich' Saudi Arabia borrowed to partly fund her budget, the first time in decades. Venezuela, another oil-dependent economy is still wallowing in economic mess till date as her currency has become worthless.

The Buhari govt inherited no infrastructures nor any savings of note. At some points, the price fell below $30/barrel yet they said we must support them in blaming the Buhari administration or we are senseless, Fulani slaves and blind political followers.

Every mono economy that's dependent on oil cried but they wanted our case to be different. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala had warned that it'd happen. Charles Soludo, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi etc gave similar warnings but it was still Buhari's fault. He's analogue. He has no economic sense.

He has just 150 cows. He must be crucified but we said no.

When d noise became too loud, some who were 'Buharists' left for d other side. They said they must be on d side of the people. They said they were hungry. They got unending applauds from the 'people' and they enjoyed it.

but we stood behind d man who was&is still bent on givn us a better Nigeria than he met thru economic diversificatn. D President allocated huge sums to d buildn of roads,railways, power&agriculture etc.unprecedented. Those who wanted immediate results abused us bt we didn't shake

Dt ws d 1st most difficult period to be a Buharist & maintain it

On Jan 19, 2017, PMB went to London on a medical vacatn after transmittn a letter to d NASS informn them of his leave&invoking d sectn of Constitutn wh empowers d VP 2 take charge as d AP in case of such occurrence

We watched on TV as he departed the Country. The President did not come back until March 10 in what a major national daily called Medical Sojourn. Those on the other side said he called Osinbajo a mere Coordinator. They brought in mischief to misinterpret the Constitution.

Patriots were relieved seeing the hailing President back but the relief was short-lived as on May, 7, he left again. And this time, death mongers boxed us to the corner. They told us he'd never come back alive. They said it was his corpse that was flown out!

The few of them who weren't convinced that he had died chose to wait with 100% hope for it (his death). Some of them drank to what they called the death of a tyrant, a Fulani herdsman, an Islamic fundamentalist. At certain stages, some Buharists started becoming ex-Buharists.

They joined d Resume of band wagon. They didn't want 2 be caught on d losn side.side of those wh stood by a man dt wld never return alive. Top govt functionaries includn selected Governors went on a visit bt after their Spokesperson, Dave Umahi said they saw a fast recuperatn man

Detractors said the water on the table where the President hosted them carried a Nigerian label. They therefore concluded that it was a facade. One of their leaders back home boosted their dark morale when he boasted of having 11 pictures of the dying President.

The Archbishop of Canterbury visited & pray for him and on August 17, Pastor E.A Adeboye also went on a visit to pray for him and d following day, he arrived Nigeria to the welcoming arms of those who God will always bless.

That's the second most trying time of a true Buharist.

Those who became Buharists just because they wanted Jonathan out left but I have seen a few of them coming back.

Good morning, my blood Buharists.
God bless you.
