One of the most interesting
things about President Muhammadu Buhari is the sheer passion with which he is admired
and hated by his admirers and antagonists respectively. The controversy
associated with his recurrent health problems is defined by these
irreconcilable emotions.
Though falling ill intermittently
for an aged person like President Buhari is quite common, yet, in addition to
being President, the fact that he had never fallen seriously ill prior to
becoming President, as he stressed early this year when he returned from his
previous medical vacation in Britain, has made his condition particularly interesting.
Therefore, at the risk of
sounding superstitious, I can’t completely rule out a diabolical curse(s)
transmitted to him through acts of sorcery by some particularly wicked and
hate-filled elements among his antagonists, or the evil eye of some enviers or
even admirers (because even an innocent compliment by an innocent admirer who
has the evil eye can harm the person he compliments).
