The Deceit and Deception Continue — Buharistan Cabalism Conscription Architectures for Cover-Ups and Insults

The tragedy of a man’s passing is often met with a moment of truth. A time for honest reflections, soul-searching, and the sincere offering of history’s verdict. But in Nigeria, especially under the suffocating atmosphere of the Buharistan era, even death is not sacred — it becomes a political tool, a shield for cabals, and a stage for the cruelest propaganda imaginable.
The sudden eruption of hagiographic tributes, twisted tales, and coordinated sanitization campaigns following the demise of a man whose governance left behind wreckage, silence, and suspicion is not only distasteful but deeply insulting to the memory of the nation he failed. Those who once shielded his absences, excused his failures, and weaponized his infirmity against the people now wear the robes of mourners — sobbing crocodile tears and rewriting the past with breathtaking hypocrisy.
Where were they when Nigerians begged for clarity on his medical status? When the country stood still for months, leaderless, rudderless, and confused? Where were they when economic policies crumbled under incompetence, and when insecurity became a national identity? When bandits and terrorists overran entire communities, while the presidency became a gated, silent fortress of denials?
Today, those very architects of silence and misinformation are on an orchestrated tour of public sympathy — curating praise, suppressing truth, and using death as the final act of deceit.
This is not mourning. This is cabalistic conscription, a desperate effort to erase guilt, whitewash failures, and neutralize accountability. It is a continuation of a regime that mastered the art of control: not through performance, but through manipulation, media suppression, and calibrated lies.
But history is not a willing hostage. It remembers.
It remembers the Buharistan model — a nation run like a barracks, devoid of consultation, allergic to dissent, and sustained by a closed circle of unelected decision-makers. It remembers how voices were silenced, critics jailed or labeled “enemies,” and patriotic demands for transparency dismissed as sabotage.
It remembers how the Naira crashed, how inflation stole meals from tables, and how hopes were exiled across oceans. It remembers #EndSARS. It remembers the Lekki Toll Gate. It remembers the vanishing budgets, the unexecuted contracts, and the global embarrassment of absent leadership.
No propaganda can cover these scars. No amount of “posthumous patriotism” can erase the lived trauma of millions.
We must say it plainly: the cruelty of Buharistan did not end with the man’s last breath — it merely changed shape. It became louder, more brazen, and more desperate. Because what they fear most is truth — unfiltered, undeniable, and uncompromising.
So let this serve as a reminder: while they deploy deception, we shall deploy memory. While they trade in myths, we shall trade in records. And while they bury the man, we shall unearth the consequences of his leadership.
Nigeria cannot heal from what it refuses to confront.
