Popular Nigerian comedian, Atunyota Alleluya Akpobome, popularly
called Alibaba has reacted to the rousing welcome President Muhaammdu
Buhari received during his two-day working visit to Kano.
Buhari arrived Kano on Wednesday amid pomp and pageantry to commission some projects.
However, Alibaba, took on his Instagram to comment on the President’s visit.
He wrote: “If 80% of these people were gainfully employed they will not be on the road welcoming Buhari. And it’s not about PMB.
“Because these are backlogs of unemployed and unemployable citizens
for over 20 years and counting. These are the types that will cast votes
for you for an exchange of a 5kg bag of rice.
“Why? Because they are down to their last hope, I tell many people.“A citizen who gets good primary education will be triggered to get
secondary education. At worst they will do better at Vocational schools.
But once there is no foundational education, as basic as A is for Apple
and 1+1=2 and all elementary teachings, the brain is locked out of the
growth process; because that basic education is what all other things
are built on.
“Look at the pictures, you see popularity… I see thousands who can be
used by anyone who has plans that will not benefit this country. Let’s
begin to educate the child. The educated child will understand policies.
“The educated child will become a good citizen. The educated child
will grow up to contribute to the Nigerian economy. What do I know Sef?
Shebi I am just a comedian?”
