“Disgust with Injustice may sharpen the desire for justice. Readers who don’t see this connection merely wish to be entertained, and I have neither skill nor desire to turn the agony of a people into entertainment. (Ayi Kwei Armah, The Beautiful Ones Are NoT Yet Born)


Nigeria is gradually descending into a state of absolute chaos under a repressible regime whose malady is to foist upon us a totalitarian and oppressive government that can only be equaled to Benito Mussolini. NOTE: (Wikipedia has it that within five years, Mussolini had established dictatorial authority by both legal and extraordinary means and aspired to create a totalitarian state)

 The self-styled documentary, the other side of Buhari, is a reflection of how our feudal lords in Aso Rock now see themselves and the level to which the ordinary Nigerians have condescended below them. This attempt to brainwash Nigerians into programmed robotic morons can only be equaled with Kim Jong UN; North Korea were state propaganda is used to manage the citizens and ensure they remain faithful in their gratitude to a self-delusional and authoritarian leader known as MAXIMUS. 

President Buharis media team in their self-obsessed passion for a failing leader decided to play one last prank on Nigerians in a poorly thought out documentary to divert the attention of Nigerians from their annual perennial fuel scarcity or Christmas gift, soaring unemployment and hunger in the land. It was meant to instigate Nigerians to appreciate the benevolence of an Emperor whose smile is enough for us to be grateful for a life time. After all with the smile of Buhari you can buy a module of rice in the market for less than N1000, Why not when Buhari laughs fuel queues disappear. This monolithic and outdated method chosen by the duo of Femi Adesina and Garba Shehu shows how dull or myopic the team surrounding our dear President is or a clear case of mental instability by those who are supposedly responsible for minding the President and propagating his affairs. The sheer sycophantic nature of the documentary is a clear indication of the producers or actors to turn the agony of a people into entertainment. A period that should ordinary have seeing the government responding or at least projecting a perception of solving a crisis situation, decided it was the best time to gloat over the foolishness of the decision of a majority of Nigerians to vote them into office in the first place. That is why it is so pertinent and urgent for Nigerians, parents, husbands, wives, workers and all well-meaning citizens of this great nation regardless of ethnicity or religion must begin to impress and mobilize their wards, friends, family members 18 year and above to get their PVC’s; for a time cometh soon when with a single strike from everyone one of us with our PVC’s  at the polling boot’s shall flush the APC away from ASO ROCK and  melt away from our souls the agony that the documentary the other side of Buhari have caused us. Nigerians will never forget the injustice done us by this government by denying us the ability to access our basic human rights. These we will tell them with a resounding defeat at the Presidential elections come Feb 16th 2019.  I end again with another quote from the famous Ayi Kwei Armah, which aptly defines President Muhammadu Buhari’s motive and the only reason he has ever sought power and why he came to power. 

“” True, I used to see a lot of hope. I saw men tear down the veils behind which the truth had been hidden. But then the same men, when they have power in their hands at last began to find the veils useful. They made many more. Life has not changed. Only some people have been growing, becoming different, that is all. After a youth spent fighting the white man, why should not the President discover as he grows older that his real desire has been to be like the white governor himself, to live above all blackness in the big old slave castle?

Aptly capture by Mr Garrick. Lalasticlala, this write up deserves front page.

They decide to show us Buhari Human side.

When in actual sense Buhari is dealing with Nigerian Inhumanly.

Which government need 1 hour documentary to show that he is human but a failed Government will do that

Lalasticlala happy new year in advance.
