Buhari Bent on Destroying Nigeria Through Insecurity, Fulanisation, Hyperinflation Femi Fani-Kayode is never my friend and I have always criticized him for some of his utterances. He made this recent statement through his Twitter handle and I am fully in agreement with him no matter what any person says. Fani-Kayode said, "Americans killed Osama Bin Ladin, Abubakar Al Baghdad and now Ayman Al Zawahiri. Kudos! "In Nigeria, we do not kill terrorists. We beg them, appease them, bow before them, give them chieftaincy titles and let them break into prisons to free their brothers." This is the truth, nothing but the truth. President Mohammadu Buhari has goofed and has refused to resign since he is not capable to govern Nigeria. Because Buhari has refused to do the right thing, many Nigerians read many meanings to it and they are right. When he was elected president the first achievement he made for himself and his Fulani brothers was, to throw Nigeria's borders
