I was not even 20 when he contested and I had read everything I needed to know he was going to be a disaster. If people like this could be fooled by Buhari, then we are never going to make it in this country.

I was a fucking teenager and I knew that this man was a disaster

[Oo Nwoye @OoTheNigerian]

Bobs, I really, really liked Buhari. Called him "My General". I supported him long before anyone I knew.

Voted for him from 2007 to 2015. Created his Facebook fan page in 2009 and grew it to 200K members.

[interesting fact: during the post election 2011 riots when everyone was calling on Buhari to issue a statement condemning the riots, I issued one from the fan page and the press ran with it. I hope it helped douse the tension.]

For the 2015 elections, I was on his bandwagon before the primaries. Even took a selfie with him Dec 2014 - not sure any one did before me.

It was easy to believe him and the alternative wasn't a choice.

On the day before the elections I was setting up a call center in Kaduna. And returned to Lagos that same day to vote for him in Lekki.

I remember the inauguration, there was just so much hope. Tears may have welled up in my eyes as he took his oath of office. Then declared "I belong to everybody and I belong to nobody"

There is a video I have from that day I may share today. A massive crowd of "urchins" broke through the barricade by Eagles Square but all they wanted was to wave.

After the elections I met with him at Defence House Abuja. If I wanted a job in the administration, all I needed to do was hang around as I was part of TBO - The Buhari Organization led by Hameed Ali, his Chief of Staff.

But I had a startup to run and I don't do "hangers on".

I was confident the delay in appointing ministers was due to his waiting to implement The Oronsaye report.

What a disappointment he turned out to be. He's the last politician that can ever disappoint me the way he did.

By 2018, I don comot had for e matter.

But man, the guy had absolute carriage, poise and charisma. At the same time, lacked any level of depth. Had so many blind spots. Placed loyalty first and no care for competence and had a retinue of who is who of corruption around him.

Of course, the Shite massacres and October 20th Lekki Massacre will forever remain stains on him.

As with every human, the story is complex. But here is a man that Nigeria gave everything to and he gave her his minimum in return. But did he have more to give? I doubt it.

Anyway, he's dead now and I definitely feel no joy. I just feel sad that a story that could have ended in so much glory, is bleh.

Ah well.. farewell, General Muhammadu Buhari.

Glory to God.

Last year, I wrote a thread on brands for men interested in classic style. Recently, one of them—a bespoke tailoring house with operations in the U.S. and UAE, serving C-suite gentlemen and style aficionados worldwide—brought me on as a Writer and CRM Specialist.

It has come at one of the most turbulent moments of my life, but it’s a responsibility I’m grateful for and privileged to carry.

Let’s go.

@dp_331 I made it

But street footballers are better than professionals na 😩

[Tobi the runner @TobiTheRunner]

You attend the training session of many Nigerian coaches- and most of what they do is run. They are always running.

Ogenyi Onazi came to an academy session one time, stood about 30 metres away from the players, and asked them to aim a pass at his chest.

Not 1 player. 5 tries.

[CHUKWUEBUKA 🚀💯 @Haybookah]

@Bra_un_skeen Yeah,

[CHUKWUEBUKA 🚀💯 @Haybookah]

@hotiiofficial No

Just post breast

[CHUKWUEBUKA 🚀💯 @Haybookah]

@michealmensah54 @Wizarab10 Pick 11 street players and come play with players that train in an academy. You will see the difference

[CHUKWUEBUKA 🚀💯 @Haybookah]

@swizzzlife @Nellymaxi731 @Wizarab10 He was in an academy, a street footballer is different from a player being trained in a football academy.

[CHUKWUEBUKA 🚀💯 @Haybookah]

@Nellymaxi731 @Wizarab10 There is no difference between someone in an academy structure being coached by coaches, to someone that plays street footballer only? There is no difference?

[CHUKWUEBUKA 🚀💯 @Haybookah]

@iamodrak It's not by that. That guy was in an academy

[CHUKWUEBUKA 🚀💯 @Haybookah]

@Emperordotman It's not talent, the guy was in an academy in Nigeria, what to https://t.co/7IJTnif4rv.people think go on in an academy?

[CHUKWUEBUKA 🚀💯 @Haybookah]

@Eabdwakeel Their guy was even in an academy, he was just not a street footballer.
