The history of American democracy has records of presidents that had varying degree of illnesses and diseases while in office and in most cases, they served out their tenure. They include, Woodrow Wilson who had a stroke during his second presidential term. The ailment left him paralysed. He secluded himself in the White House while his wife helped him to hide his condition from the public.

Franklin D. Roosevelt was another President who was sick throughout his tenure even though he eventually collapsed and died while in office. He suffered from polio throughout his term, which paralysed both legs. He did his best to disguise his condition, sometimes even finding ways to stand. Dwight D. Eisenhower suffered a heart attack and a stroke during his presidency and undertook surgery for Crohn disease. Although John F. Kennedy had his image crafted in youth and vigour, he dealt all his life with Addison’s disease. The disease caused him severe pain and forced him to take medication before his eventual assassination.


Dwight Eisenhower even though he contended with Crohn disease is ranked amongst the greatest American Presidents of all time. He is regarded to have innovated and gave America the leadership it deserves especially after the Second World War. He dealt calmly and rationally with each situation, always finding a solution that avoided war without diminishing America's prestige. He ended the Korean War, balanced the budget not just once but three times, and of course he authorized the creation of NASA in 1958. These and many other accomplishments rank Eisenhower amongst the best American Presidents of all time, even though he was sickly throughout his eight years in office.


Like Eisenhower, President Muhammadu Buhari was a war veteran who served in many capacities during and after the Nigerian civil war. Just like Eisenhower who was practically called upon by the American people to run for the presidency, Nigerians were unanimous in their vote for President Buhari during the 2015 general election.


President Buhari’s accomplishments since assuming office bear resemblance to Eisenhower in so many ways. Under his watch, the Boko Haram Sect which hitherto almost overran the entire nation has been decimated. The Nigerian security forces are in such high spirit and poised in bringing the Boko Haram insurgency to a conclusive end. The war on corruption though marred with many controversies has continued to yield significant results, and the Nigerian economy which hitherto was in deep recession is now gradually coming out of it.


Despite his health challenges, President Buhari has continued to stir the ship of state, while moving the nation on the path of growth and development. While I remain an ardent supporter of a proper medical screening of all political office seekers, we must appreciate the fact that nobody holds absolute control of his health status. Some of the American Presidents we examined earlier only became sick after they assumed office. But for their love for

But for their love for Country they pushed through their tenure as they strived to bring the dividends of democracy to the American people. We must, therefore, come to appreciate the zeal of the President to move Nigeria to greater heights while he may be struggling to maintain a perfect health. We must also come to appreciate that such scenarios are not peculiar to Nigeria, but a reflection of socio-political order around the world.

As we patiently wait for President Buhari’s electoral promises to come to full bloom, like Eisenhower, PMB may emerge as the greatest plus to Nigeria’s democracy. This is wishing Mr. President quick recovery and long life.

OP forgot one critical, all-essential factor....

Eisenhower had intellect, clear policies, workable plans, set achievable goals with the guts to see USA through those times; Buhari lacks all these, has bad health....




....common, working brain-box sef, e nor get



APC sold us fake Belgium Engine !

As for those being paid to write-up these arss-licking drivels, the only similarity between Bubu and those US Presidents is the Stolen Speeches you lot like pilfering and plagiarizing time and again! Much the same like "Pain" & "Pleasure". Both start with /P/, but are worlds apart in every way!

let me be objective in this matter.
Eisenhower's achievements today are being examined after his administration. we might just say the same about Buhari after 2019.

Afterall, thats what Femi Adeshina always says. wait wait wait

so which of them went to hide in london indefinitely?

We cant be comparing politics of the 18th - 19th century to that of the 21st.

It wont be possible today for a president to hide his ailment from the USA citizens and the same should likewise be applied to Nigeria. We should stop comparing apples and oranges, and trying to twist facts.

what fukery is this op?

president buhari dose not have any certificate president buhari has people like amechi, and that useless good for nothing cbn gov working for him

NO FUCKERY IN THIS MATTER. THE WRITER ONLY GAVE AN HONEST COMAPRISON. IF U HAVE A CONTRARY POSITION STATE IT AND LETS HAVE INTELLECTUAL CONVERSATION, PLEASE.

Comparing one of the greatest Generals from the 5 star club who commanded bought the Pacific, European and North African front to a quota system product known as Buhari is the height of abuse of the correlation theory.

How long did it take Buhari to rise to the rank of a General in the Nigerian Army - little less than 15yrs with a stint as a war criminal in a brutal civil war.

Eisenhower formulated the policy of reconstruction for both Japan and Germany and was an advocate of peace refusing entries from war hawks like Patton who wanted another war with the Russians.

Eisenhower and Buhari no be mates!

What has Buhari done in terms of nation building both as the head of the criminal military junta of 1984 and now as the head of the islamofascist party

This is how they were comparing the serial electoral failure to Abraham Lincoln.

Men see finishing from left right and center with anoda uppercut crushing the op and buhari to smithereens.

No body is crediting Buhari with mechanisms being put in place to perpetually address the issue of corruption;

No body is commending the recovery of looted funds;

Nobdy seems to acknowleged the gains made in the North East; Boko Haram use to occupy large part of the country;

No body appears to be recognizing the positive image that the nation has created for herself ever since the administration came on board

No body is talking abouth the strategic policies being put in the place. The recent executive order, the social welfare scheme, the school
feeding programme, etc

why?

Maybe because we all know that Buhari does not deserve any accolades from us by doing next to nothing but sit his dry ass in London wearing the same gown

Which of the mechanism being put in place for addressing issues of corruption are developed by Buhari? The TSA, Whistle blower policy, EFCC, BVN are all there before Buhari became president. Which one is his own?
And mind you, Buhari himself is very corrupt and runs a corrupt administration, from his Nepotistic appointments to sectional appointments. What you call corruption fight is the fight against opposition.
Another lie of yours is claiming that Buhari has defeated Boko Haram. Do you think Nigerians are more interested in Boko Haram being defeated than being secured in Nigeria? Fulani herdsmen has killed more Nigerians than what Boko Haram killed and are killing Nigerians till date and Buhari, the Tribalist, watch over them planning to give them reward of grazing reserve.
Buhari is a demon. Buhari can only be compared with Osama bin Laden.

Wonderingg why this thread hasnt made the front page. These are issues that should trigger political discussion, especially as we prepare for 2019. with issues like this, nigerians would ask themselves what kind of leaders they want? What legacy the leader should leave? have the ones they elected delivered? and so on.

sadly, threads that make front page are pics of nairalanders with snakes, Davido in his new house, Dbanj expecting new baby, Wizkid smokes skunk, etc. lol

The question you should ask yourself is how has these policies affected the average Nigerian. The price of every commodity in the market has doubled if not triple. Jobs have been lost despite the campaign promises to create more jobs. FYI I have been supporting Buhari since 1999 in APP, to ANPP, CPC and now, cause I felt corruption and lack of discipline was our problem...this is aside the ineptitude of GEJ.

Because the thread lacks substance. Why would you compare the president of a country practising true federalism with that of a messed up and fantastically corrupt country like Nigeria. How do you expect the country to work when even parents bribe officials to let their children cheat?
