DEMENTIA AND AMNESIA
Dementia: a serious mental disorder caused by brain disease or injury, that affects the ability to think, remember or behave normally.
Demented: Behaving in a crazy way because you are extremely upset or worried, having a mental illness
Amnesia: A medical condition in which somebody partly or
completely loses memory.
Buhari’s perennial goofs have elevated dementia, demented and amnesia to ridiculous heights.
I remember while in an exam hall, I forgot how to spell “with”.
I wrote it down as “it”. Was my condition dementia or amnesia?
Has it happened to you before?
I have read some of my posts where I had issues with dates,
spellings and tenses even after series of editing. Was my
condition dementia or amnesia?
Many of Buhari’s traducers cannot even remember the events of our recent past. They cannot put their thoughts, spellings and tenses together. Which of these conditions are they suffering from?
I heard Buhari refer South East as East Central. I heard him
mistake 2015 for 2005. I have seen and read countless number of people make same mistakes publicly. Haven’t you?
George Bush Jnr goofed as a President of USA. Even Donald
Trump goofs from time to time. Are they under dementia or
amnesia?
Napoleon said, “men are ruled by toys”. Being perfect is not an attribute of a leader or a manager. Nobody is perfect.
A good leader, a good manager, is that man or woman who gets things done through others who know more than he does.
Wise men do not judge others from their weakest point. If the Abeokuta section of Lagos – Ibadan rail runs today, that serves as a better talking point than harping on sicknesses that afflict us all.
I have come to this painful realization that those who accuse Buhari of “dementia” have the worse mental sickness. They are “demented” by hate and bitterness and they suffer from from the worst type of “selective amnesia”.
