ABUJA (Sundiata Post) When it comes to English grammar, Buhari supporters and former First Lady Patience Jonathan are more alike than unlike. When Boko Haram started using women as suicide bombers, Patience Jonathan memorably said, “I’ll rather kill myself than commit suicide.” For her, “kill myself” and “suicide” have no semantic kinship because they are different words.
Buharists are deploying this same preposterous “Patiencist” grammatical logic to defend their idol’s gaffe. They are, in effect, saying, “I will rather sit and do nothing than be lazy.” Or, more specifically, “I will rather not go to school, sit and do nothing, and get housing, healthcare, education free than be an uneducated parasite.” In the mentally subnormal, simplistic, grammar-challenged reasoning of Buhari idolaters, “to sit and do nothing” isn’t being lazy; it’s, er, just sitting and doing nothing! And to not go to school, sit and do nothing, and expect to get free housing, healthcare, and education isn’t being an uneducated parasite; it is whatever Buhari idolaters want it to be. Patience Jonathan is back on a mass scale!
Buharists also said because Buhari only said “a lot of young people,” not “all young people,” are lazy, his critics are twisting his words to make it seem like he tarred all of Nigerian youth with the same brush. Well, let’s follow their Patiencist semantic logic again. When reference is made to number, “a lot of” is synonymous with “a majority of.” In quantitative reasoning, “a majority” means more than half or “the greater in number of two parts.”
Buhari won “a lot of,” not “all,” Nigerian votes. That’s why he is president. If the logic of the Buhari idolaters were to be applied to his election, it would mean Buhari isn’t a legitimate president since he was elected by “a lot of,” not “all,” Nigerians. I think it’s safe at this point to conclude that Buharism is a disabling psychiatric disorder. I frankly now feel more sorrow than anger toward the unfortunate souls that have become Buhari idolaters.
