Zahra Buhari’s Instagram post clearly shows she is out of touch with what happens in the country.
It must be quite some experience to be the daughter of a President. That’s as close to being a princess in a democratic government.
Think of all the perks, and privileges that go with being a member of the first family. It must be the stuff of dreams and fairy tales.
Living in such rarefied air does have a downside- there is a great tendency to lose the sense of reality. You get pulled into the Matrix and live in a system where it is more smoke and mirrors than anything else.
There is a strong temptation to classify Zahra Buhari (now Mrs Indimi) as a resident of the 1% Matrix. On April 30, 2018, she posted a photo of her father, President Buhari in a meeting with what seems to be white men of importance. The President is pictured talking while the gentlemen are listening with rapt attention.
The eye-rolling caption beneath the photo goes thus: “They say a picture speaks a thousand words. #speechless #shook #proud #Nigeria“. The caption on the photo comically reads “Change: World Now Listens When Nigeria Speaks” Woah, slow down there princess.
This Instagram-daddy-loving post is coming off the heels of the President’s visit to the White House. Objectively, it was a meeting that went well as the President did not throw the nation (or the lazy youths) under the bus in front of Donald Trump and the world.
