President Mohammadu Buhari has just broken a record with the name ‘Buharism’ in the language dictionary.
According to Wikipedia, Buharism is a term ”rooted in the
politics of Nigeria, referring to the economic principles and the
political ideology of the military government of Nigeria headed by
General Muhammadu Buhari from 31 December 1983 to 27 August 1985.”
”This ideology shares common features with fascism; the government was a right-wing nationalist government that
pursued corporatist economic programs and curtailed personal freedoms. Economic reforms were characterised as moving the political economy away from the control of a “parasitic” elite,
and into the control of an emerging “productive” class.

“Buharism represented a two-way struggle: with external global capitalism and with its internal agents and advocates.”
To add, the ailing Buhari is still in the United Kingdom ‘recuperating’ over his illness.
