This is a rejoinder to President Buhari’s article for Newsweek magazine

Yep.

President Muhammadu Buhari of Nigeria just wrote an article for Newsweek magazine. I didn’t know they still publish… anyway, you need to rush and read it before it is taken down. I’m telling you, it is so explosive that enemies of Africa will take it down before you say, “Give me a break.”

I know what you are thinking now. That Buhari did not write an article for Newsweek. And that probably he did not even read it before it was published. My friend, I beg you, go and read the article for yourself. You will be surprised.

In the article Buhari talked about the future of Nigeria, and indeed, Africa, in a post coronavirus world.

Smart!

It is a fascinating look into Buhari’s brain — No. I’m not talking about the brain inside Buhari’s head, I mean the brain behind Buhari.

First of all, Buhari told the world(you know when he chose to write for Newsweek in the US and not the Newswatch magazine of Lagos, he was only interested in addressing the world not us, poor Africans) that Nigeria is ready to do manufacturing for the world.
