Abubakar Atiku The Great! Honestly, Abubakar is a great man who I love passionately like. May Allah bless the day he was born. God blessed the womb that carried him, a great son of Africa, a wonderful giant of the Nigerian political theatre. The best man in his act.
Chai, this man is a gift to the nation in his act: A first-class expert. The Chad-Nigerian-born man is a master strategist; an expert in the act of cultivating love, luring respect and harvesting honour from Nigerians without breaking an egg!
Alhaji Abubakar understood perfectly how to arrest the attention of Nigerians. This time, it is not about money but about how to choreograph and package acts which unlock and put the ajar door of personal and corporate emotional bank accounts of a great number of Nigerians.
Alhaji Abubakar is not only an efficient retired customs officer but a Don in the art of deceit and pretension. Look at these pictures: kudos to Atiku over this picture!
Kudos? No. He deserves none at all, walai!
Whenever I see people like Atiku, acting cheaply for popular acceptance and sympathy my heart percolates. My heart bleeds not because of those cheap acts of theirs but because of the majority of Nigerians who such jejune acts are capable of railroading, mesmerising, impressing and duping.
Who gives him kudos? Only fools and cheap-minded Nigerians who are easily fooled by such common and desperate acts.
The fault is not in our stars but in we who allow some of these political traders to take us for granted. And that is why people of doubtful integrity, persons of fraudulent sources of wealth, and dubious characters take us for a ride and treat us as cheap buffons.
That is why we joyfully and gleefully accept, embrace, solicit, and allowed stain-ridden entities as our Lord and political Messiah.
They comprehend the socio-political psyche of a typical Nigerian who is easily carried away by cheap acts of kindness. And they joyfully employed this to launder their love into our consciousness.
The masses are easily ferried away by deceptive acts which are deliberately planned, consciously acted, professionally choreographed and packaged. Just to sell themselves for what they are not to the public. Some of us too are gullible by paving the way for our emotional exploitation by these political merchants. Some of us are too willing to lap up patent idiosyncrasies of political parsonages who love to exploit the softer side of the people for their selfish gains.
Atiku Abubakar, the husband of Titi Atiku, is not only a Master but a PhD holder in this whenever he is coming out to beg for votes; a clever man who sees you as a cheap-minded Nigerian who could be dazzled by an intangible show of fake love. Hence, it has been his behavioural patterns to exhibit fake street attitudes and antics which he believes endeared him to the voting populace.
See this picture in 2018, when an election was on the corner, he quickly arranged to eat with the so-called masses on the street as if the poor were not there before the approach of an election. After this picture, when last has he repeated this show of love? He believes that Nigerians are fools and can be fooled.
See also another picture when he visited a hospital recently to visit a victim he deliberately enabled the picture to go viral, to showcase him as a good-natured man as he pretended to read a copy of an X-Ray film as if he is a certified radiologist!!!
The other day, he stormed a Cinema house in Victoria-Island, Lagos, turned himself into Father Christmas in March 2018 and dished out free tickets to patrons! And since that day, nobody has ever seen him within the periphery of that Cinema or any other cinema in Nigeria to share free tickets, for there is no longer an election.
See the other two pictures where he is eating with his bare hand and pretending to drink sachet water, aka, pure water!
The great man knows his trick. He knows he can employ this to gain cheap popularity. Alhaji Atiku Abubakar is nothing but a big pretender and a master in the act of exploiting the emotional bank accounts of the poor masses and gullible elite. He is not only a man who is a master of deception but he has been diagnosed as having Acquired Integrity Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS).
Who diagnosed him? When? How? Just in a moment…watch out for Atiku Abubakar the Great! (2)
