Re: USA Africa Dialogue Series - My Reply To Invitation To March Against Buhari's Government

Buhari, as an individul, is far from being a pretender, but the dirty pool of Nigerian politics has to be questioned when things are not going right. I am not related to Buhari, but frankly speaking, we will not pretend that Nigeria is a place where politics is a terrible money minting processor for those who involve themselves in it. It is hard to believe that individuals with great spirits to help the country are overshadowed by numerous pursuers of personal agenda and enrichment which cannot help the country. 

I agree that Buhari has to be held accountable for whatever that goes on the country, but when will the public be educated to the point of recognizing the simple truth -over polluted system that Nigeria has inherited. 

All Nigerians who cherish honest means and know what frustration is and can be on the path of hardworking and honest people whose path is filled with tons of thorns in a Nigerian-experimental democracy know that the wrong attitudes of the majority and biased lenses of many people who do not see beyond certain parameters, such as their tribal, regional, religious, economic, and educational cubicles, constitute a stumbling block to the development of Nigeria.

Unfortunately, honest Buhari in on that path of thorns. His sincerity keeps the country going even though some buy, no matter what objective people may say about Buhari, will still complain about the man. That is the beauty of democracy. Isn't it?

"Sai Buhari" till 2023!"

CAO.
