Ever experienced an emotional ripple effect? That moment when an incident makes you reflect on the fact that this particular issue is a ‘recurring decimal,’ with no end in sight or when someone causes you such emotional distress and you begin to reminiscence on all the past troubles the said person has caused you.
Such an emotional trip can lead you to act in a manner you rather not, or say things that are best left unsaid and at the very least, such a thing can depress you.
Buhari always trending on twitter week in week out for bad government , fuck that shiiiiiiiit

This has been the case for Nigerians for some time now, every unfortunate incident the country is faced with, reminds us that things seem not to be getting better. This explains why President Muhammadu Buhari is always a recurring trend.
Remember when people voted Buhari because he was a retired Army General with war experience and was supposed to bring peace to the nation?

Many Nigerians feel bamboozled, having believed that a man who at the time of election seemed to be of high moral standing and military discipline would make things better if he got into power.
@MBuhari, take a look at your military profile
U.S. Army War College
Platoon Commander
Defence Services Staff College, India.
Member of the Supreme Military Council
GOC, 2nd, 3rd and 4th Division
Military Head of StateThe experience is of no use, by Allah#NorthernLivesMatter

The promise that he would hunt down corruption, eliminate insecurity, and instill discipline within the ranks of government is what made people vote him and now, everything that was expected of the current administration has not even been remotely met, and as a matter of fact, things look even worse.
@MBuhari, In 2015, you said it was a big disgrace for the previous admin to deal with insurgents for 5 years to the extent of seeking help from neighboring countries.
Now, in your 5 years in office, not only is BH existing, but Banditry is the new norm. #NorthernLivesMatter pic.twitter.com/HaOSbLcCzd

The insecurity issue in Northern Nigeria, particularly Borno that is trending today has immediately brought to mind the deficiency of the current government. It is reminding people of all the promises the government is failing to keep.
Nations are adding jobs, Nigeria is adding debts.
The @NGRSenate has become Bureau de Change for Buhari.
They are aiding the President in sinking our country in debt.

From corruption, to lack of economic growth, and of course, insecurity. Nigerians appear fed up and the blame today on Twitter was heaped upon those who had elected the President into office in the first term and how ironic it is that they are the ones suffering the heaviest blows.
When I see Northern youths wailing about the heightened insecurity in their region and their lovely father Buhari dont even think of them?

Also, those defending the President on social media are being dealt a backlash.
Fuck all Buharist, if you support buhari fuck you too! fuck those that always got his back, fuck Buhari fuck y'all tyrants.?

May God run your life the way buhari is running Nigeria. May God blessed you with the likes of buhari as your children.
May God bless you with a wife that would treat you the way buhari is treating Nigerians. Amin! https://t.co/bpWFMmpccy

In the end, many Nigerians feel the President has failed them and needed to say it in droves yet again, hoping to get the attention of the President who is “always silent.”
We have come to expect silence from our president @MBuhari. About 150 citizens died this week across 3 states with many others displaced. Commander in Chief: *stone silence*.
