As a reader, I notice political views regardless of whether or not the book is fiction. What annoys me is when said views do nothing to advance the narrative.- Jen Lancaster

Honourable Dele Momodu, I enjoyed your succinctly written piece but I often wonder who these people are who were misleading President Buhari.

Note: You often write about people misleading or given the President wrong or bad advices, that to me is the height of arrogance and self aggradisement because such statements from you give the impression that the admonitions given in your write-ups are better than those faceless individuals you often address as given the President misleading advices. Please take into consideration that you have your on views, perspectives and perceptions  and so do other Nigerians. You do not have all the facts on a given issue or multifaceted problems affecting Nigeria therefore to use the word misleading is to claim that your worldview is ”leading” panacea.

”I’ve been on several television and radio interviews in the past one week and the commonest question is on the performance of our President”. @DELEMOMODU

This is ridiculous. Is there any administration since the creation of our geopolitical entity Nigeria that does not have issues of performance, perception and critical question being asked? It is a common phenomenon and denominator in the psychological modulation and critical mindset of Nigerians, we critique our government daily without any sound premises on which to rest our claims because we often times refuse to ask or answer fundamental questions of ontology as it affect our behaviour/us as citizens. It takes two to tango.

In my own opinion the statement/quote above from @DELEMOMODU is a red herring and of no quantum significance since every administration in Nigeria historiographically speaking always has perception problem that in most cases have nothing to do with its intrinsic nature or performance rather what we have in respect of perceptions on the side of the citizenry versus government are attitudinal, social and functional distrust phenomena based on history of neglect by previous administrations. It is an ingrained psychological mindset.

You are entitled to your honest views @DELEMOMODU but there are no absolute truth within the purview of opinions because they are always an individualistic narratives. WHO IS MISLEADING PRESIDENT BUHARI?
