The British Broadcasting Corporation, BBC, has made a comparison between Nigeria’s President Muhammadu Buhari and the reality TV show, Big Brother Naija, BBN, saying both are currently not in Nigeria. In a report headlined, “Why is Nigeria’s President Buhari still in London?,” BBC relied on various reports surrounding Buhari’s vacation to London for medical attention to say the President’s continued stay in UK has kept on being a subject of discuss for Nigerians. In the report, BBC said, “As Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari was beginning his latest visit to London more than a month ago, a new series of Big Brother Nigeria was getting under way.” “A former military ruler known for his no-nonsense style would appear to have little in common with a reality TV show where contestants engage in attention-seeking behaviour.” “But both subjects were soon generating headlines for the same reason – neither of them were in Nigeria.” Buhari “It turned out that Big Brother was actually being filmed in South Africa – a decision that led Nigeria’s information minister to launch an investigation. While the howls of protests from outraged Big Brother fans soon died down, the clamour over Nigeria’s leader’s extended medical stay in London is not going away.” Continuing the comparison between the President and the reality TV show, BBC said even Nigerians are relying on pictures posted on Twitter to get updates about their president. “And unlike Big Brother, there are no constant updates – in fact, President Buhari, 74, has not given a single interview since arriving in the UK. Instead, the Nigerian public is relying on pictures – posted on Twitter – of their leader meeting senior UK officials as proof that he still is alive.” But in contrast, the Special Assistant to President Buhari, Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, few days ago forwarded President Buhari’s “thank you”message to Nigerians wherein he said he was even getting better. BBC also wrote, ” The latest statement issued by the government said there was “no cause for worry” about the president’s health but his medical leave was being extended.” “Nigerians have now heard their leader’s voice for the first time since he left for the UK after a telephone conversation with the governor of the northern state of Kano was played out loud at a prayer meeting.” “His month-long stay so far has angered some Nigerians after he promised to crack down on “medical tourism” by officials.” “Last June, President Buhari spent nearly two weeks in London receiving treatment for an ear infection. But the bigger issue this time is that officials have repeatedly refused to disclose his illness and are not saying when he will return to Nigeria.”
