President Buhari’s continued absence has caught the attention of foreign journalists, which means the world is monitoring what Nigeria is doing about the situation. After her newscast on the subject, Aljazeerah’s reporter asked Nigerians what they thought about the protests demanding Buhari’s return or resignation.

Buharists and wailing wailers were ably represented, and they couldn’t see eye to eye. Link

Speaking of protests, Onye Nkuzi is bothered about the silence of the Nigerian church:
I don't expect Tunde Bakare, who once accepted to be Buhari's running mate to participate in protests urging him to #ResumeOrResign.

But that is the problem with Christian leaders taking part in partisan politics; it is difficult for them to act as principled voices.
— Onye Nkuzi (@cchukudebelu) August 11, 2017
This is no small thing. Christian leaders in Lagos say one thing about Nigerian politics; while those in the South East say something else.

(The Lagos-based leaders get more airtime, but opinions of Christian leaders on politics are as diverse as our ethnicities).

Reaction:
You're the Christian. But this issue alone is strong evidence that we merely project our biases in the name of some divinity. https://t.co/hGFMqeZPeT

Joyce questions this common narrative:
This idea that Nigeria is a rich country and its only hindrance is corruption is the basis upon which Buhari was elected. Now see…

Reactions:
Gowon started this narrative. You only have to look at GDP/capita to disprove this. Nigeria is a poor country.

Now see the hardship he has brought to the nation.

Ayo Sogunro thinks it’s time for a new breed of political thinkers to emerge, people who will create the Nigeria we want to see. Link.

Andy has dropped a tidbit for reflection:
No one should make you feel bad for being too busy trying to earn a living or develop yourself. Times are tough. some friendships can chill
