5 Important Questions to ask Nigeria's First Lady, Aisha Buhari about her husband

First Lady of Nigeria: Aisha Buhari

I am thinking about Aisha Buhari statements with the BBC Hausa Radio Service. During the interview, she said that she was unhappy with the people who run Nigeria. First, I would like a applaud Mrs Buhari for her quiet support during the elections campaign. The saying is true that behind every successful man there is a strong woman. Also, only a smart man allows a strong woman to lead him onto success. 

According to the BBC, Mrs Aisha Buhari said that her husband, the president of Nigeria, Mohammadu Buhari appointed several people that he does not know. That's weird. Furthermore, she claims that despite being his wife of 27 years she herself does not know these people. (Stranger than fiction). But, is she meant to know them? Considering the fact that there are over 180 million Nigerians). In total 50 people were appointed and the president only knows 45.

My worry is whether we, the humble pubic needed to know this... Well, to clarify what could be going on in the Buhari household and I am sure you too will like to know, here are 5 important questions for Madam Buhari so that we can all get a better picture of what is really going on.

Question 1: 
Who are these people (people in high places who have been given presidential appointments) that you and the President do not know? 

Question 2:
Are these people a threat to you and the president? Or are they a threat to the nation? Is that why you are concerned?

Question 3:
Did you discuss your concerns with your husband before 'spilling the beans' at BBC interview? Did you realise that BBC Hausa Radio is the same as BBC Global - that it's like a global media monster with tentacles?

Question 4:
Are you trying to 'break away from the mold' - you know, the general African/male idea that a woman and wife's place is in the kitchen and of course in the bedroom...and that women should be seen not heard? Would you be standing up for the Nigerian woman whose husbands, fathers, uncles, brothers etc believe she is inferior?

Question 5:
Does your husband see you first as an intelligent human being who has smart ideas for the development of the country? For example, is there anything you are doing in your own capacity as the President's wife to develop the nation? Nigeria has numerous challenges which ones have you chosen to tackle?

These are my 5 questions for you Madam Aisha. I hope you get them and I look forward to hearing from you madam maybe not directly but through the next bold steps you will take to show us that you are truly a Nigerian woman.
