The president will soon die before this year elapse. No need to worry ourselves cause the man I saw as president is half dead.he will soon go and join ojukwu to finish their discussion.

Your bias wouldn't let you know that you have already contradicted yourself.
My dear people of God
and
My dear citizens
have totally different meanings.
my dear people of God acknowledges that the people belong to God while my dear citizens means that the masses belong to Mr president.
Have you heard any president address their citizens as my dear citizens, instead of my fellow citizens?

You dey mind those kidsgrin

Nigeria isn't his family. You don't use dear in a formal letter(speech)

It's simple English language

Out of hatred you decided to show the world why you keep failing English language.... You have dictionary but never make reference to it when needed. You have smart phone but cant make profitable use of it.

So in your myopic brain, you think ''dear'' is informal? No wonder you are still jobless because people like you write letters to your prospective employers without addressing them formally.

angry my "dear ogbu" abi na ugu, if u r offended by the presidents speach, pls kindly note that, that is the intended purpose of the speech.... to offend enemies of the nation and to remind lovers of peace and unity that the president holds them "dear" to his heart and does not just see them as mere "fellow" citizens but loving brothers in the same country.
Ever since the speech, tbe enemies of peace have been vibrating like earth worms who encounter salt, kindly know that your torment has just began as the army have been briefed to quickly put an end to the dance of shame u are putting up in the eastern part of nigeria. Pls reserve your english as you will still lament some more. Thanks for your co operation. Yours intruxive

Maybe you can also check the meaning / usage of "dear" before you continue in your inexplicable hatred and ineptitude......

You are just irredeemable. You are obviously biased and it has indeed blocked you from learning.

If he had said 'my dear fellow citizens', it would have been acceptable.
'My dear citizens' means that he has excluded himself as a citizen of Nigeria, he has created a god-like status for himself, a higher being than other people.

Next time don't show me the meaning of dear if you can't understand a simple thing.

It's just useless hairsplitting to harp on this point. If the writer and you had objected to the use of the possessive pronoun 'my' it would have passed but to stick your rattles on the fact that he addressed citizens with 'dear' instead of 'fellow' is just too crass. 'Dear' is a term of endearment, it connotes a level of intimacy, 'fellow' is casual and distant. If Buhari who is reputed to have an authoritarian and starched up character uses terms of endearment I don't think that should be a problem except to those who just want to be nitpickers.

That particular plank in op's write up is just too infantile abeg. One can say other things just as he did but his first paragraph is pure hogwash.

keep measuring his english level while he keeps presiding over you.no matter how much you hate him,he still remains your president.when you go to any part of the world,and they ask you who your president of your country is,you will definitely mention his name.
if you really waant a literate to rule you,please go and start from your local government,cus am very sure it is an ssce holder that is ruling your llocal government today.ssce is the minimum level of education a local govt holder should have,so please go to your local govt and oust them first before you get to the president

You shouldn't assume that because a person with NEPA certificate is ruling Nigeria and your local gov't, all other local gov't areas should be ruled by brainless people.

I am from Nsukka local gov't area of Enugu state. A professor of PALG is my local gov't chairperson.

Don't showcase your ignorance next time.

Just the same impression I had. Too much bitterness. Everything he wrote- save the dear/fellow issue which I feel is needless- are worthy talking points but his bitterness brims to the surface and muddies things.

The last application letter i wrote,i used 'Dear Sir/Ma'
Don't mind him. If he cannot get it that by that word 'dear' Buhari was trying to get an informal, relational contact with Nigerians then he must love cold formality more than any other thing.

Thank u so much mr charles for saying the truth,everything u just wrote is nothing but the truth.Sometime i jsut asked if this our so called president will ever learn from his mistakes.Must u continue to gv threat to pple u are meant to serve diligently.Use ur health to ask ur self a question,the lives of innocent citizens ur service chiefs are killing is what is hunting u.Change from ur ways mr president and u will see God goodness in ur life.i never knew were we went wrong by voting u as our president.Stop killing an unarmed biafrans,because one day u will also die and the problem of this country will still be there.

Does my dear people equals my dear people of God to you ?

So you lack the capacity to see the glaring difference between "my dear citizens" and " my dear fellow citizens ?
You it is who suffers exactly from what you accused the Op of.

My dear citizens means that he sees Nigerians as his personal serfs while my dear fellow citizens indicates that he acknowledges nigerians as fellow nigerians.
The former address smacks of arrogance while the latter displays humility.

No for head of this country ever addressed nigerians the way Buhari did in that address.

if it was kanu that said 'my dear biafrans' , these children of hate would have praised him to the high heavens.
of all the problems plaguing this country it is whether the president used My dear citizens or My fellow citizens that we should be battling about.

Do you know that the standard opening lines to most coup d'etat speeches in our political history was 'Fellow Nigerians... '? Did it change how the military treated Nigerians throughout our long history of military dictatorship? Abeggi

Aiit, try replacing the 'dear's with 'fellow' in the context of people of God and citizens.

Just so you know God won't be if you didn't choose him and so is pressi, different spiritual realms anyway - you might not have chosen him so does other religions towards God.

And please don't give me that crap about him choosing you. #Blackroots

I'm sorry in advance if I don't metion you again.
A type search with the words "my dear citezens" should help.
