Nigeria: Buhari Should Meet His Wife in the Kitchen

26 October 2016

Aisha, grand-daughter of Nigeria's first minister of defence [Mohammadu Ribadu] was married to retired General Muhammadu Buhari at a very tender age. As the paragon of beauty clocks forty five years early this year [having being born on 17th of February, 1971 - as we were told], she has stayed glued to the husband for 27 years. Having been married to the man at such tender age, with such level of undiluted beauty and sophisticated educational background, Aisha, no doubt, had captured the husband in totality; spirit, body and soul, over the years.

At forty five she is at the prime of life while the husband; who is above seventy years of age, is at the declining point of life, going by the naturally acceptable rules of "diminishing returns". One of the duos, ipso facto, would have more mastery knowledge of the home than the other. The advantage of such comparative differences between the two is likely to weigh more in favour of Madam Aisha than Oga Buhari. So, when Madam spoke to the BBC about the type of government her husband runs in Nigeria, with damning consequences of what the husband should expect from her in 2019, Nigerians need to cash cold for three reasons. Yes, we should analysis her language, which to me, were very strong and harsh but revealing, than the husband's response, which of course, reveals the actual Muhammadu Buhari; a man holding no hope for the corporate Nigeria.
