Calling former first lady, Dame Patience Jonathan a prophetess for seeing President Buhari for who he is years ago will not be out of place.

During the campaign for the 2015 presidential election Mrs Jonathan had advised Nigerians, particularly women not to vote for Buhari as he would send them back to the kitchen.

She said, “Nigerian women should no longer go back to the kitchen. It is not our portion to go back to the kitchen.

“We have women that are capable. We can contribute our quota to the development of Nigeria.”

Lo and behold, she was right, as Buhari on Friday said his wife Aisha belonged to his kitchen during his visit to German Chancellor Angela Merkel.

The Presidency in a bid to douse tension following Buhari’s comments, in a statement said he was merely joking.

Whether it was a joke or not, we really do not know. But for the nation’s number one man to say such publicly makes one wonder what he really thinks about women.
