The Hausa version of the Buhari Media Center is infinitely more vicious and more shamelessly immoral in its lies and propaganda than the English version. I have never in my entire life seen a morally depraved and debauched government like this! These contemptible dolts wake up every single morning and think of nothing else to do but the next bald-faced lie to tell unsuspecting Nigerians to deflect attention from the incompetence, cluelessness and wickedness of a government that came to power through sophisticated, well-layered fraud.

See below a message from the BMC Hausa Service that went viral in Hausaphone Nigeria. It is one of several blatant mendacities the BMC broadcasts on Whatsapp. It was purportedly written by Buhari to Hausa-speaking Muslim Nigerians. Of course, Buhari never wrote it. Even if he did, reflect on the implications of the sectional appeal of the message.

Now, you all see why I said the BMC minions aren’t even the brightest bulbs in the box, why I said they should sue their collective pea-sized brains for non-support? Well, here you go:

Kada ku sauraresu, idan sun ce muku na mutu, ku sanar dasu har yanzu ina raye waadin da Allah ya debarmun a duniya bai kareba tukunna…… Amma idan sun ce muku bani da lafiya to ku bisu da adduar Allah ya karamana lafiya domin dukkan mai rai yana bukatar karin lafiya a tare dashi….

Rough Translation (you can help with improving the translation)
Do not pay them attention to/do not take them seriously when they say I’m dead. Simply tell them that I’m alive and that the days that Allah has ordained for me in this world have not finished. But if they say I’m sick, then join them to pray to Allah to increase our health because anyone who is alive is in need of better health.

I advise/urge you not to fight anyone who says that I’m dead or that I’m sick. For me, the most important thing I want from you is to continue to pray that your government, of which I am the superintendent, succeeds. My main priority is to see that your lives get better, and that the improvement is durable, Allah willing….

Your welfare/betterment is the big task I have set for myself as a goal…. Muhammadu Buhari belongs to you….
All of you are joined to Muhammadu Buhari. The love that exists between us is a genuine bond created by Allah….
Do not be weary; continue to seek favour and compassion from our Creator. On my part, I will work tirelessly to alleviate/assuage your problems and concerns with divine justice.
Thank you
Muhammadu Buhari
President of Nigeria
