Yesterday, Monday, June 6, 2016,
popular Nigerian stand-up comedian
Basketmouth took to Instagram to pen an
open letter to President Muhammadu
Buhari.
According to him, we are all collectively
responsible for what befalls our country. “ We
are the country. The rest na just land, ” he
wrote.
Read his full piece below:
"As I am learning to stop complaining and
get used to the electricity situation in my
beloved Nigeria, i can't help but worry about
other bigger problems facing my country at
large. Once again a land already polluted
with blood and oil is reported to be
witnessing beheadings by religious fanatics,
murders by herdsmen, and bombing of oil
pipelines by a supposedly impoverished and
marginalised deltan posse, let's not talk about
the Biafran agitators, kidnapping and
robberies....confusion everywhere.
I am an entertainer so i try to leave politics
for politicians(cos i believe everybody should
maintain dia own lane). However, I cant
seem to understand why my beloved country
will not intervene to help alleviate the
sufferings and helplessness of its people.
When the poor cry for help and are ignored,
it can be a recipe for turmoil and when the
rich also cry, can't afford to travel because
flight tickets are out of their reach, can't
afford to eat as they used to and all channels
of their lush incomes are closed overnight,
then you begin to sense a whiff of
desperation.
The media also reports bias in the security
handling of issues as it affects the North,
West, East and South. In my humble opinion,
i do not think it will hurt PMB to address this
issues from time to time as much as he
addresses the issue of corruption. It hurts my
senses when i hear people praising the likes
of Ayo Fayose or calling for return of
corruption (hard to tell if they are serious or
joking) hearing the soothing voice of our
leaders will go a long way in strengthening is
as we plunge further into the unknown.
So in all of these, I am listening to hear the
wise words of President Buhari, I know he
has opinions about all these because i know
he reads the papers and he has access to
security reports, but sometimes it's like his
media advisers dont get his memo or they
seem to get it a week after he sends it and by
which time other depressing issues have
taken over.

Well said but we don't know if he is joking or serious.
