Lol! See the 10 Positive Bizarre Achievements of President Buhari.

On 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!
