USA Africa Dialogue Series - day, September 6, 2015 From Febuhari to “Wailing Wailers”: Linguistic Creativity Decline of the Buhari Brand

Please read. Good piece by the one and only Farooq Kperogi. Highly instructive and I heartily recommend this read.

He should lighten up though; not everything has to satisfy orthodox grammatical standards. The Urban Dictionary thrives because many rebels have turned their noses at orthodoxy.

I like the term "Wailing Wailers." It resonates and it hits hard. Those who use it with a smirk do not have to worry about its propriety. The Buharists just hurl it with glee into pity parties and watch the Jonathanians squirm.

I am not sure the APC ever had a disciplined PR machinery; they were helped by an unlikely coalition of poorly educated social media thugs, vuvuzelas with PhDs and an army of young people mostly from the South who had genuinely had enough of the nonsense that has passed for governance since OBJ through the clueless one that was GEJ. The disarray in Aso Rock simply shows that the APC is not ready for prime time. Just hang in there, Wailing Wailers, four years will pass sooner than you think!
