http://www.nigeriavillagesquare.com/articles/guest-articles/voter-taofeek-and-candidate-buhari.html
Taofeek is a 21 years old Yoruba boy (young man, actually, but in Nigeria a 23 years old is still a boy, like Farouk Mutallab Nigerian media saw as boy while international media addressed him as young man). He lives in Langbasa, in Ajah axis of Lagos. When he is not in school, he helps his mother in her recharge cards business. I had a brief encounter with him that passed a very strong but unfortunate message about General Muhammadu Buhari’s campaign strategy ahead of the April polls.

I had stopped to buy recharge card from Taofeek. As has been the case with gatherings of two or three people in the last few months, normal talks between Taofeek and his friends drifted to presidential politics, and it was at that point I stopped to ask for MTN card. I heard Taofeek mention the name of the presidential candidate of the largest political party in Africa. At that point, I got interested in their discussion and spared two minutes to spread the message of hope to Taofeek, the message of Buhari-Bakare, that is. I asked him why he was supporting the candidate, but he couldn’t say anything coherent. I found it pardonable, although at that age somebody like me was already expressing political opinions on pages of newspapers, but today these children or men not only lack the basic English grammar skills to express themselves, they can only analyze English Premier League in Yoruba! They don’t listen to news, don’t read newspapers, don’t know anything about politics or economy. The nearest they come to politics is watching some flowery campaign theatrics on TV and, and after analyzing Arsenal and Barcelona in their evening sittings, delve into political discussions, better described as recharge-cards-tents analysis, which ranks even worse than motor park and pepper soup joint commentaries.

Back to my encounter with the young man, in my bid to preach the Buhari message to him as I do in chance meetings with people where environment permits, I told him there was another candidate that meant better for this country and that was tested and trusted to lead this country away from its present shambolic state. Before I finished, he cut in: ‘Ribadu?’. I said no, I’m talking about Buhari. And wait for the shocker: Taofeek has never heard of Buhari! His response was: ‘Who is Buhari?’.

I didn’t know where to start. A 21 year old Nigerian, a registered voter, in Lagos, not knowing who Buhari was! And a presidential election in which Buhari is participating is less than 60 days away. Immediately I concluded there was problem, a serious one, not with the boy, but with Buhari’s handlers. Like I mentioned earlier I can pardon the boy for having been bought by our good friends that have inundated the media with all manner of campaign adverts, appealing to emotions and divinity, telling us their grass-to-grace story, as if other candidates too did not have a grass-to-glory tale, telling us they walked bare-footed to school in one swampy village as if Buhari too was not once a bare-foot-walking Fulani cattle boy in a desert village who, through dints of commitment and focus in his chosen military profession , rose to become the country’s No 1 man, and a step further than their tale, after reaching glory, doesn’t parade the type of opulence they now parade, even though he has been around for a longer time and sat on top of the most juicy offices in the land(Minister of Petroleum, state governor, PTF Chair, Head of Military government).

Registered voter Taofeek did not know anything about corruption. He knew nothing about the economy. He believes some divine luck is all we need to save this country. He doesn’t know the indices to measure a good leader or one with potential. Even if he has heard the saying that show me your friends and I will tell who you are, he doesn’t know who Ibori is, he has never heard of Tony Anenih, he knows next to nothing about Alao Akala and Gbenga Daniel, you can see why I forgave him for believing those fine rhetoric in the adverts of his candidate.

I was too shocked by the revelation and at the same time angry with the Buhari campaign machinery, to talk to Taofeek, whose impressionable mind appeared already glued to those songs he hears every now and then on radio and those beautiful jingles he sees on the TV screens. As I walked off, I remember the millions of Taofeeks in other parts of the South, who, even if they have heard about Buhari, don’t know anything about him. I felt demoralized that I began to ask myself: is this Buhari project I have voluntarily taken up not going to be an exercise in futility? Where is the Buhari campaign team itself? I have never seen a single poster of Buhari in central Lagos, not to talk of Lagos suburbs like Langbasa where Taofeek resides. I have never seen a Buhari jingle in the electronic media. The only Buhari advert I came across in newspapers was that by Professor Tam David West late last year, and I buy four papers everyday.

Those of us rooting for Buhari in the South are drawn from the educated, politically informed class. Even that cadre is divided almost equally among the three major contenders. The less informed multitude in the streets of Lagos, Ibadan, Port Harcourt, Enugu or Benin know nothing about Buhari. This is why I am surprised the Buhari formal campaign team has not reached these places, either through massive media jingles, leafleteering, or rally. Even worse in popularity in this side than Buhari himself is his party, CPC. It was only a couple of days ago that I knew that CPC had a gubernatorial candidate in Lagos. That is me, an active follower of politics and news, how much more the millions that don’t even follow events. And Buhari expects to do well in these areas.

Ironically, the people that are already well-known in every nook and cranny of the country are the ones actively doing campaign around. If the President has abandoned his official duties to embark on personal campaigns, I wonder what is keeping Buhari, who doesn’t have presidential duties to attend to, busy. Even Ribadu, another candidate I admire but not sure he hasn’t become too soft and compromised to tackle the corruption menace, has been more visible than Buhari.

Granted that Buhari doesn’t have the foreign reserve to deplete to fund his campaign, neither does he have the governors to brow-beat, he can do far better than this. My people will say good name is better than gold and silver. This is true, Buhari has the goodwill, all he needs now is a practicable strategy. Any strategy that doesn’t incorporate early campaign, enlisting of youths and active use of local media, I’m afraid, cannot be effective. Buhari and his team should spare us these endless meetings and jolt into action. The message of Buhari must be carried to every Taofeeq in the South. I hope Buhari and his team are listening.

To tell you the truth, you would be shocked at the rate of some folks ignorance.

I recalled some asking me who Buhari's running mate is a week ago, I answered 'Tunde Bakare' ignoring the title pastor. Can you believe he asked further: 'Governor of which state?'

Believe it or not, this dude is 39 and resides in Lagos!

I kinda agree with the Writer, youth of nowadays include Jarus seems not to know anything about Their immediate environment not to even talk of the Nations sociocultural and political environment. Dont even mention the Economic sphere, they dont even know there exist a Minister of Planning like jarus.  Dont be suprised if jarus dont know the Nations Minister of Finance. Mu he he

Guess what? Jarus is the author of that article
Thanks for agreeing with 'the writer'.

Jarus=Sanusi=Buharism
JARUS = Buhari

KnowAll:

Jarus=Sanusi=Buharism
JARUS = Buhari

You're very correct. I have never hidden my Buharism and Sanusism.

these are the people who would be swayed by the beer palour soliloquies being touted by team gej

It is unfortunate that most young men and women (especially those between the voting age of 18 - 30) are only interested in sport/european leagues and facebook. While it is good to relax and socialize with others, Nigerian young men and women see these activities as primary and every other thing secondary. They are not interested in their immediate environments, study and governance. I am sure most of the guys that know Ribadu met him (Ribadu) on facebook.

Anyway, this is part of the work we have to do as Buhari takes over - re-orientating our youth.

CPC manifesto is ready now. Follow the below link to read/download it.

On a more serious note, I thought the OP did a fair to average job, but erred with his harsh criticism of Taofeek's background. And yes, Taofeek represents the common man, including yours truly at that age. His characterization of Taofeek was unnecessary and reeks of arrogance and baseless pride in his acquired western education, saying: ".  .   . but he couldn’t say anything coherent. I found it pardonable, although at that age somebody like me was already expressing political opinions on pages of newspapers, but today these children or men not only lack the basic English grammar skills to express themselves, they can only analyze English Premier League in Yoruba!" And, so what is wrong with analyzing EPL in Yoruba language? It does seem that with his education, the OP for a while lost his senses.

A little bit of introspection who have made it clear to the OP that Taofeek's first Language is Yoruba and it would be out of place and really silly for anyone to expect him to express himself in a language foreign to him. How often do our colonial masters criticize themselves or their children for speaking in a foreign language?  But this is what we have reduced our national discourse to, creating divisions among ourselves on the basis of our ability or inability to converse in the Queen's language. And it seems the educated elite like the OP passed through school, but failed to allow the school to pass through them.  It seems that the OP, like , sadly enough, Nigerian educated commentators, has fallen deep into the abyss of Colonial mentality where feelings of inferiority to and wanton regard of foreign values and culture are seen or perceived to be superior to  our own culture and language.  

And to buttress the OP's lack of critical thinking skills, he wrote "they don’t listen to news, don’t read newspapers, don’t know anything about politics or economy." as though Taofeek got to know about GEJ from his dreams.  And when does not knowing about politics and economy become a character flaw to the point that it made Taofeek unsuitable to vote or participate in our nascent democracy. We all  did not go to OAU like the OP, and even if we did, we all cannot study economics like the OP. It is high time the OP and his Ilks broaden their knowledge beyond  their immediate sphere of focus, as failure to do so can only bring more shock to the OP as he progresses in life

I see nothing wrong in Taofeek's ignorance, on the contrary I see a lotta good in it. It tme that, unlike his peers, he is up and doing, working hard, lookin out for himself, and have little time for trivialities. And, these characteristics of Taofeek IMO are good. It has been my experience that people who follow politics religiously often fall into two groups: the very educated and the very lazy and jobless bunch. It is not out of place  even in the west to come across educated fellows who are ignorant of their immediate surroundings. I know a lot of very educated people in the US who have no idea who their governor is, cared less who their senate is and yet are not castigated as the OP as done to our poor Taofeek

Ultimately, this article was written in poor taste and , let no one be deceived, it was not about Buhari or his failing campaign. It was always about the OP, his narcissistic attitude, his baseless pride and arrogance and his deep seated desire to feel better than others. It is about the OPs desire to feel some sense of accomplishment, in the gloom political landscape, and to save face and ego from his inability to achieve or bring to reality fast enough what his western-style education promised. And, unfortunately, he found this in poor Taofeek and in the so many innocent and hardworking Taofeeks all over the country he has never met, but on whom he had already conjured grim outlook.

This ignorance problem is scary, I have met here in the US a 25 year old Yoruba who only came here 3 years ago ,who doesn't know GEJ and thinks OBJ is still in power. I was shocked to tears, because this guy still gets his premiership news from his friends in Lagos and from me.

Honestly, this is the most reasonable post I have ever seen you make on NL, forget about the fact that I was the subject of attack.  Save the last paragraph, where you were off-mark, I accept what you wrote in upper paragraphs, even if I share a contrary view. I particularly found reason in your criticism of my jibe at Taofeek's English grammar skills, political 'ignorance' and preference for discussing football.

Until you got to the last paragraph where you brought out your mind-o-scope and read my mind that my intention was driven by a 'deep seated desire to feel better than others' and 'to feel some sense of accomplishment', your comment made sense to me. Your last paragraph is better ignored because I cannot open my mind and let people see that that was not my intention. But a look at other articles I have written recently, available below that piece in NVS, which are all on Buhari should be enough to tell a sensible mind that the write-up was driven by my serious concern about Buhari and the lethargic disposition of his campaign team. And I hope that reference will not be termed by you as yet another show of 'sense of accomplishment'.

Having questioned my being an OAU & Economics grad before, I know there is more to your criticism that meets the eye. Your favourite line anytime you want to come down on me is referring to OAU, Economics bla bla.

All these said, at no point did I deride Taofeek's hardwork. I opened the paragraph by saying he helps his mum in her business. I mentioned, not once, not twice, that his ignorance of politics is pardonable. Yes, I said he was politically uninformed. I stand by this. I mentioned that many Nigerian youths of today know nothing about governance, I don't care if Americans also know nothing about their leaders. My messages are clear: 1, Many people don't know anything about the candidates, other than their names, and shockingly, some people don't even know their names, and I believe knowledge of basic things about the candidates is important in making choices 2, Buhari's team are no helping matters as their enlightenment efforts have been less than far-reaching. For a serious contender, that doesn't speak well

All in all, your critique was a nice one, a sound one.

Buhari's failed alliance wit acn costed him d unpopularity in south west, if it d alliance had been realistic, gej's chance of returning bck 2 aso rock cld ve bn ruled out. He goofed in dat area i'll say. OPPOSITION PARTIES ARE SICK.

Hmm

they can only analyze English Premier League in Yoruba! They don’t listen to news, don’t read newspapers, don’t know anything about politics or economy. The nearest they come to politics is watching some flowery campaign theatrics on TV and, and after analyzing Arsenal and Barcelona in their evening sittings, delve into political discussions,  better described as recharge-cards-tents analysis, which ranks even worse than motor park and pepper soup joint commentaries.

so true and no only those selling recharge cards but graduates too!!! Can you imagine some people in lagos dont even know there's a toll road going on in the same state then you hears ome say "oh you dont live in nigeria, you cant understand"

I keep thinking if most voters had access to the net and NL especially instead of the beer parlour gist and rumours
in a way i think the leaders are doing it on purpose, the media is awash with pro pdp messages and campaigns, you'd think silverbird, channels, and other private media houses will be bought out by one or more of the opposition
the only other campaign on NTA you'll ever see is that is pastor Chris Okotie

I really don't think Buhari's handlers are to be blamed. I spoke with one of my siblings at home earlier today, asking him about his candidate of choice, guess what he said:
"Buhari is the best choice, but I won't vote because it's obvious PDP will rig the elections". He knows this much because he's also on the campaign trail of a family member who's also contesting, unfortunately under PDP flag. By the way my brother is a graduate o!
Well after half an hour of talking some sense into him he agreed with me that we simply cannot resign to faith and expect any form of change, he agreed to go out to route for team Buhari/Bakare for the presidency and stick with the family member for the local elective post. I've decided to call him everyday to ask about how many converts he has for Buhari.

My advice to Jarus et al. You need not give up or get disappointed. What you are witnessing is the decay of our educational system, a direct consequence from 12 years of PDP misrule. Buhari may not have the resources to traverse the nook and cranny of the country, it's our collective responsibility to campaign vigorously for his likes to force PDP out of Aso Rock.

By the way, I also finished from Ife/OAU (WHITE HOUSE ), although I graduated several year ahead of you!

for the record, it is not only ife grads who want better things for naija

unilorin dey ground

Abi o my oga, I don't know how fs smuggled Ife into his critique

@Jarus
When did you swing away from Ribadu to Buhari?
I'd like to hear your reasons, cos in my opinion you've left a passable camp for one that totally untenable.

Ironically, the people that are already well-known in every nook and cranny of the country are the ones actively doing campaign around. If the President has abandoned his official duties to embark on personal campaigns, I wonder what is keeping Buhari, who doesn’t have presidential duties to attend to, busy. Even Ribadu, another candidate I admire but not sure he hasn’t become too soft and compromised to tackle the corruption menace, has been more visible than Buhari.

That is my reason.

^
Everyone knows I don't hawk Ribadu, but your reason might not have been thoroughly considered.
A simple pointer is the fact that a political neophyte like Ribadu easily rolled off Taofeeks tongue, whereas Buhari, a past head of state, 3 time presidential candidate and head of a political party drew a total blank.
It isn't Buhari's handlers, its the man, he is too aloof and comes across as uncaring and self-centred; even Dele Momodu makes an attempt to get to the masses.

Beaf, the real truth of the matter is that Jarus went to Ife/OAU. We look before we leap. Jarus, you are welcome on board jare.

Beaf aka Karl Max, this is another conscious and extremely futile effort from you in your baseless attempts at denigrating the person of Buhari. Haven't you noticed the latest count, your benefactor has just been overtaken by Buhari on NL polls? Perhaps you need to create additional NL user names and aliases so that you can do what you are perfectly known for and boost the numbers for GEJ.

Very pathetic, they (GEJ and PDP) rig in regular elections and are even shamelessly coming to rig again online. Your case is getting beyond redemption o!

NL polls? Thats a funny one! I can assure you multiple registrations on NL are responsible; instead of footfalls on the streets, in corners, motorparks, molues, at the abattoir, in carpenters sheds; instead of conversations with tomato sellers, rewires, hunters, butchers, danfo drivers etc

Who does Buhari really want to govern? OAU graduates or Nigerians?
What character flaws have caused the man not to connect with the man on the street, and the million Taofeeks working hard for a living? Why is a 3 time candidate and former head of state known only to "OAU graduates?"

Lets bury the dead.

For your info, I am none of the people that seem to be hunting your waking hours, I'm not Karl max, johndoe, ma j blige, nsiman or the other names that fleet through you guys fancy. In fact when I registered as Faeb, I made it very clear that Faeb = Beaf (unfortunately Faeb has been banned for months and forgotten).

Obviously, it takes very little to make you to digress from issue. Na me say make you attend glorified secondary school? Abi na OAU wrong you now? You are too incoherent for any sane minded individual to engage you in an intellectual discuss. But again, I no really blame you. You are one of the products of the decayed educational system which PDP has consistently made to rot in the last 12 years.

Evidence speaks. Anyways, back to question you are trying to avoid. What character flaw do you think is responsible for Buhari to register a blank with the Taofeeks of this World? He has been in politics since taking part in the 1967 coup, he has been head of state, he has been a presidential contestant 3 times in a row, he is the virtual owner of a political party.

Nigeria's Taofeeks know even the political newcomer, Ribadu. Whats with Buhari? Its not his handlers, its just a sign of how flawed and anti-social his personality is.

For all lovers of Good governance who are tired of OBJ/IBB/GEJ/PDP and fellow hawks you can do better in informing these uninformed than sitting down and just watching while another clueless fellow drive our bus into the jungle for another 4 years. I have been calling my friends regularly convincing them why it must be BB and nor Ribadu and why they should not touch GEJ not even with a long stick. Inspite of my buzy schedules, my facebook page is updated with BB's achievements on a daily basis since last week. I have been finding ways to make donations to the campaign. With my friends we are planning self-sponsored posters to be pasted targeting areas we know Buhari is not very popular. Tonight I will be sending out a message to all my facebook friends telling them what BB has done in the past, what GEJ has done it past and why they need to make a choice now without prejudice.

It is not enough for you to come here and whine. Do something like Jarus has done with Taofeek. Use the numerous past achievements of General Buhari to preach the Gospel of Change without fear now or leave your children to face the future consequences of your present inaction.

My brother, abeg let me know how I can help too jare. I've been looking for how to donate to the BB campaign train too. Talking about posters, I need to call a friend right away, I'll get figures from him and see how we can get them across to areas where they are needed.

Let's discuss further on the BB campaign page on FB. I've been using tweeter to call my friends to support him too. My FB page has also not lagged behind.

When Buhari's poster comes out, I'll like to have copies. I'm interested in passing the message but there is a limit to what I can do. Maybe when I paste his poster on my car, it will easily stick into the sub conscious of my neighbour at least.

I am a core niger deltan but like i told my friend only buhari/bakare ticket can assure me of a new nigeria, a better nigeria, a nigeria i wil nt be ashamed to call home for me and my children unborn.

i believe in a new nigeria that works a nigeria that best be delivered to me by BB

NB: i bear no sentiment against GEJ cos he is a good man at heart

the change we need is now
