#SoundOff: 10 Positive Achievements By President Buhari (Don’t Laugh!)

Must read

[dropcap]O[/dropcap]n the one year anniversary of General Muhammadu Buhari’s tragic election to Aso Rock, many people find it difficult to find any positive achievements in his disastrous (so far) reign. I disagree with them. Buhari, like the spouse from hell has been good for Nigerians. He has:

1. Taught Nigerians many bitter lessons, chief of which is that it is unwise to ignore history, for history ignored (1984) repeats itself.

2. Demystified Buhari the myth and reduced him to a doddering pathetic character whose bifocals are permanently stuck in today’s headlights.

3. Demystified our politicians headed by Tinubu as MBAs, Master Bullshit Artists whose stock in trade is doing nothing but loot the commonwealth while their sidekicks feed the gullible horse manure.

4. Demystified Nigerian intellectuals and thinkers as deeply unprincipled vuvuzelas for Any Government in Power (AGIP).

5. Shown that poorly educated and overrated Twitter overlords pregnant with bloated egos are a great threat to Nigerian democracy.

6. Taught Nigerians that social media can be an effective name-and-shame them parliament of accountability.

7. Exposed, thanks to social media the manic graft and incompetence that has passed for governance and civil service since the days of Obasanjo’s reign of kleptomania.

8. Proved that the distinction between the APC (crooks) and the PDP (thieves) is a distinction without a difference with the PDP marginally more honest.

9. Demonstrated with great style that personal opinions are a poor substitute for robust institutions of governance.

10. That the best two things that have happened to Nigeria lately are the oil bust and the Buhari meltdown, Nigerians are growing up fast and nice. There is hope!

Oya, your turn! Name the positives from this administration from hell!
