1. And it came to pass, when the Lord would punish Nigeria, that He gave them a President
called Buhari, under whose hand they were mightily oppressed.
2. Before he ascended the throne, he made them hope, with all manner of promises,
that he would bring them to the promised land before the coming year began.
3. Thus the inhabitants of Nigeria grew restless with their good condition, and sorely
vexed the President under whose hand they had prospered, so that he would not have the office of the President again, but rather resented it.
4. In those days also the Boko haramites laid siege to the North, and slew of the people three and twenty thousand, intending to set up a kingdom which would be ruled by Islam.
.
5. Thus the inhabitants of Nigeria remembered not the good deeds of Jonathan, but thrust him out of the throne, and made Buhari President in his stead.
6. Buhari was seventy and two years old when he began to reign. He reigned one and a half years in Nigeria, and the land became impoverished under him and the hausites, the igbolites and yorubites began murmuring against the President.

9. And in those days, there came a disagreement between the President and his household. And the woman of his 'old age (not youth)' chastised him in a proverb saying 'he who the gods want to remove from position he first makes deaf', as he no longer listens to her.
10. In response to her, while in a far away land with the Germans, he rebuked her and reminded her of her duties as a wife, saying "while he belongs to everybody and nobody, 'she belongs to the kitchen, the living room and the other room'".
