Although some people think they can control destiny, we all know that it is the inevitable future event, or the anticipated occurrence that must come. Indeed destiny will come when it will come, and we can not escape it, including you, Aisha Buhari. Since the release of that infamous book, “from soldier to a statesman”, the name Aisha Buhari continues to leave a bad taste on the mouth of many, yours truly among. The lady, if I may dignify her, has reduced to zero, or even below, whatever is left of her prestige. Fortunately, she can not reduce the prestige or Islamic heritage of the original Aisha, may Allah be pleased with her, ameen.
Historically, the name Aisha is given the highest prestige because of Aisha bint Abu Bakr, the youngest wife of the Prophet of Islam, Muhammad(PBUH). The original Aisha is revered in Islam as a scholar, a teacher, a narrator of Hadith, and a leader, that is considered to be the “Mother of the Believers”. The name Aisha therefore symbolizes intelligence, strong leadership, and contribution to Islamic scholarship. This is the reason why the name Aisha became exceptionally popular among Muslims worldwide, including Aisha Buhari’s parent, who felt proud of the original Aisha and therefore named her after her.
However, from her displayed attitude, Aisha Buhari is living a life that is at variance with the respected life style of the original Aisha and by extension, in conflict with the intention of her parents, who named her so. I can also say with authority, based on his utterances, that the displayed life style of Aisha Buhari, runs contrary to the submission of her late husband, Muhammadu Buhari, especially where he said, ”Some people said I should write a book. I don’t think I will ever write a book because I don’t want to hurt anybody”
Now, after his death, Aisha Buhari has written a book, wherein she chose to abuse him directly. He refused writing a book because he didn’t want to hurt anybody, but his widow has chosen to write a book in order to hurt him. That’s life. But it may please madam Aisha Buhari to know that, death is the inevitable end of everyone, including her arrogant self. We all will die one day or night, and we can not deny that date with destiny. If Aisha Buhari doesn’t know it, perhaps because of the distraction of temporary abundance, she must be reminded by the fact that Karma is real, and here is what Karma says:
“The pain you cause will find its way back to you. The lies you tell will one day be exposed. The hearts you break will leave a mark on your own. People think they can walk away after hurting others, but karma never loses an address, never.”
Karma has our addresses all, including your own. And wallahi it will locate you. Your book has not only hurt Buhari in his grave, it is hurting his supporters, one of whom is yours truly. I have not read the book, and may not read it, because I am on BP treatment. But we shall be responding accordingly, as the snippets come, from those who have the time to waste in reading the trash.
For a mother, whose daughters are married or planing to get married one day, the legacy left behind by such attitude is disgusting and abhorred by every culture. God forbid, but attitude like this has the potential of poisoning the future of anyone that is linked to you, because you are exhibiting the character of a traitor. There is an African proverb that says, “There’s no need to drink the whole sea to realize that it’s salty. He who betrays once, will betray you thousand times.”
If the only way you want Nigerians to remember Muhammadu Buhari is that he was a chain smoker and someone that lived a rough deceitful life, then contrary to the original Aisha, you are a bad teacher of history and a terrible student of rectitude. Distinguished people, including critics like former President Olusegun Obasanjo, who knows and worked with Buhari for period longer than your matrimonial relationship, have written books and eulogized Buhari to high heavens, so please note that, you can not deny the date with destiny. And no sane person would buy your own taradiddle, that is best destined for the dustbin.
