I even wrote about his victory, why is he against now? rebeccaidd.wordpress.com/2015/04/02/why… In 2014/2015, @MBuhari and @elrufai commended us for stand up against Goodluck Jonathan, used us to make noise and push for a #RevolutionProtest Buhari even led protest in Abuja, today, Buhari is locking us up for saying we dont want again!

If Buhari is trying his best for Nigeria why should his children live in penthouses in Knightsbridge?
If El-Rufai has no option for his kids than Nigeria, he won’t be making crazy comments to incite violence because his children can run to Washington DC!
We must all live here The killings of the prominment south west leaders daughter by herdsmen is the first notice that soon the violence and ruthlessness of Nigerian government will affect all of us equally!
No their kids cannot run away to America, their lives are not more important than #LeahSharibu

The Swedish government doesn’t not want to admit it failed! The fear of not wanting to be called racist or Islamophobia is now empowering radicalism!
Radicalism is the enemy of Islam! Why more liberal Muslims must stand up and condemn radicalism Norway is succeeding the most on taking on Refugees from Islamic nations and their approach works because it is not doing too much to make those who lived under Sharia to feel at home but to accommodate and integrate them, while helping them adjust to western culture
