No Tears For Buhari - A Nations Honest Reaction. - by Letters From Delight ⁠♡♡

The death of the formal president Muhammadu Buhari has sparked a lot of reactions online. But not the usual kind of mourning you'll expect. Instead what we are seeing is jubilation, dark humor, and fulfilment in the eyes of the citizens of Nigeria. Long kept resentment pouring out from people around every corner of the Internet.<img alt="" src="/media/inline_insight_image/Screenshot_20250715-101531.jpg"/> It's shocking to some.A thing of joy to some.A great loss to some.And to some it means nothing. Between the time of Sunday and now. We've had 5 categories of people I've been able to decern.* The genuine mourners.* The happy and overjoyed citizens.* The Christian content creators who think it is wrong to extract joy from a person's death, even backing it up with scriptures.* The meme creators.<img alt="" src="/media/inline_insight_image/Screenshot_20250715-103137.jpg"/> <img alt="" src="/media/inline_insight_image/Screenshot_20250715-103003.jpg"/> <img alt="" src="/media/inline_insight_image/Screenshot_20250715-103111.jpg"/> A meme goes thus " Buhari popusedly died on Sunday just to get attention". Yes this is actually funny, no one intentionally chooses to die. * The people who carry empathy tied around their neck and tried to force it on others. But in spite of all. This isn't about a man dying, it's about what his leadership meant to them. > Hiked fuel price<img alt="" src="/media/inline_insight_image/Screenshot_20250715-102306.jpg"/> > Collapsed currency. A naira that collapsed under his watch.<img alt="" src="/media/inline_insight_image/Screenshot_20250715-103252.jpg"/> > ASSU strike ( the Nigerian students this affected cannot be downplayed).> EndSARS brutality. We all know the amount of prominent and promising life's lost here. Peoples children.<img alt="" src="/media/inline_insight_image/Screenshot_20250715-101353.jpg"/> <img alt="" src="/media/inline_insight_image/Screenshot_20250715-101558.jpg"/> > Banditry, terrorism and injustice.Let's not even talk about the life's that were lost in Benue this year. I know it's not his regime. But this is a nursed pain Nigerians have been carrying in their heart. And this seems to be their first and only revenge for the past 10 years.<img alt="" src="/media/inline_insight_image/Screenshot_20250715-102543.jpg"/> > A government that felt distant and disconnected.> Descrit hunger: people died of hunger, hunger led to depression and then suicide.<img alt="" src="/media/inline_insight_image/Screenshot_20250715-101835.jpg"/> Heard of people throwing themselves into the big Lagos lagoon river because they couldn't survive the hardship.This is a diploma degree holder. Who knows how many times he's tried to get into the university. But just ended up going for a diploma degree. And even at that, things didn't get better.<img alt="" src="/media/inline_insight_image/Screenshot_20250715-102137.jpg"/> For years Nigerians suffered in silence. And now that he died, what is coming out is not grieve, but raw emotions. Some will call it " disrespectful"Some will call it "accountability" But this is not about BUHARI THE MAN, this is about BUHARI THE SYSTEM. A system that failed it's people, then asks for their prayers.A system that called for sympathy when lives were slayed in cold blood. So if you are shocked or upset about the laughter online. Maybe it's time to ask not, " Why are Nigerians celebrating this way?" but "What part of Nigerians are broken?".WE ARE NOT MOURNING, WE ARE REMEMBERING!. And when you ask them, let them speak without judgement.We deserve to be heard and seen!.
