You did not think we were joking about it, did you? We will be counting down to the President’s return to Nigeria and today we have someone who thinks the President can stay away longer if he pleases.

UK-based The Economist, released the following video in a very late attempt to weigh in on what it calls the first “year-long” economic crisis in 25 years – Someone needs to tell The Economist that we sang that tune last year, please.

Nigeria’s economy is in crisis. But President Muhammadu Buhari is not even in the country pic.twitter.com/0DcnnvliJz

The Economist has not existed without a history of pissing Nigerians off with their publications. In November 2015, the magazine published a very scathing and disrespectful where they called Governor Ambode “weak”, “less competent” and “full of excuses.”

Make no mistake about it, we do not approve of any “Jonathan Rosenthal” who thinks it’s cool to look fake-deep at a camera lens while throwing shades at our President and failing woefully to provide fresh points or perspective. It’s just that we cannot deny that he beautifully outlined the differences in economic policies of the President and the Vice President especially that one about Buhari making the same mistakes he did in the 80′s.

And that killer punch line: “Perhaps the best thing for the country right now might simply be for Mr Buhari to take a long convalescence before returning”.

Ouch! Sorry, who asked them?
