Nigerians lampoon Buhari over ‘rude shock’ threat on rising violence in Southeast
President Muhammadu Buhari has earlier warned those he said aimed to destroy the country through the promotion of insurrection, and burning down critical national assets, saying a rude shock awaits them.
President Muhammadu Buhari has earlier warned those he said aimed to destroy the country through the promotion of insurrection, and burning down critical national assets, saying a rude shock awaits them.
Speaking after he received a briefing from the chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Prof Mahmood Yakubu, on series of attacks on facilities of the electoral body around the country.
“I receive daily security reports on the attacks, and it is very clear that those behind them want this administration to fail,” President Buhari said. “Insecurity in Nigeria is now mentioned all over the world. All the people who want power, whoever they are, you wonder what they really want. Whoever wants the destruction of the system will soon have the shock of their lives. We’ve given them enough time.”
Many of those misbehaving today are too young to be aware of the destruction and loss of lives that occurred during the Nigerian Civil War. Those of us in the fields for 30 months, who went through the war, will treat them in the language they understand.

While few people were hailing the president’s statement, others lampooned his gross misconduct saying it is his duty to maintain law and others in the country.
Nigerians believed he should call for a dialogue among the aggrieved, rather than issuing a threat to those he suppose to govern with law and others.

"We'll treat them in the language they understand"
Why haven't you treated your Fulani brothers in the language they understand, instead you'd beg them to come accept CBN loan.

The video of Buhari saying those words confirms what Alhaji Buba Galadima told me when I visited him; he said that contrary to what most people think, Buhari is aware of all the atrocities in his government. He sanctions it and hides behind someone. Idiagbon? Kyari?

We should stop saying we are not at war, we are massively at war!
People don’t die at war with the frequency like people die in this country.
Criminal herdsmen killing for fun!

If Buhari Can Say An Attack On Boko Haram Is An Attack On The North, And Also Protects Killer Fulani Herdsmen, Negotiates With Fulani Bandits Then Igbo Governors/Leaders Should Be Courageous Enough To Say An Attack On IPOB Is An Attack On The South East. This Is How It Should Be!

There are many Muhammadu Buhari. There’s the Buhari, long buried by MNK. Then there’s Jubril Al-Sudan, the masked Buhari that speaks lucidly, if not particularly intelligently. The worst of the several Buharis, is the unfiltered one that tweets and speaks nonsense..#Enikure!?

Anytime Buhari speaks to his northern brothers boko haram and bandits terrorists. He appeals and negotiates with them. But when Buhari speaks to the southern people in Nigeria. He threatens and deploys military army to kill the youths. One Nigeria indeed.

Bubu said everything in that thread. So forget Tolu, IPOB, Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu. Focus on his Igbophobia for South East Igbos. It didn’t start today. He used proxies: Idiagbon & Abba Kyari to commit his crimes. He sanctioned every atrocity. There’s no Jubril. Buhari is fully aware
