PRESIDENT BUHARI CALLS OSINBAJO FROM LONDON.
PMB: Good morning Prof. How is the situation in Nigeria?
PYO : Your Excellency, good morning How is London?
PMB : London is fine, to tell you the truth, I'm not comfortable here, my mind is in Nigeria, if not for the Doctors, I would have come back to to Nigeria this week.
PYO : Sir, you need to rest o. Nigerians are indeed funny, the insinuation here is that you ran away because of threats by militants to launch missiles.
PMB : (prolonged laughter) Chai, these Nigerians will never stop amusing me, I hope it's not our Ekiti man that said it? Prof, how do you think a Lion can run away from antelopes, (laughter). Walahi talahi, no possible.
PYO: Your Excellency, E ma da won lohun, they have forgotten that once a General always a General.
PMB : Prof, you don start again, what is e ma da won loun, you just want to force me to learn Yoruba and you no sabi my own.
PYO : Sorry sir, I mean don't mind the cowards.
PMB : How was the meeting with the service Chiefs and the South South Governors? I hope it went well.
PYO : Hmnnm, Sir, wahala dey o.

PYO : Sir, the truth don come out o.
PMB: Prof, stop talking in parables, what happened?
PYO : It was yesterday I know say it's not easy to be President of this country, in fact I respected you the more yesterday.
PMB: (smiles) Yes go ahead.
PYO : Sir, kokoro to nje efo inu efo ni ni ngbe.
PMB : Prof, you don start again, this one na incantation or proverb??
PYO : Your Excellency it's not incantation, it's a proverb meaning the insect that's destroying vegetables dey inside vegetables.
PMB : Pls tell me something.
PYO : Hmnnm, the South South Govs said that the Militants will not stop bombing pipelines except you stopped the corruption charges against all South South people.
PMB : Are you sure heard them well?
PYO : Very well ur Excellency, they speak for English.
PMB : All the Governors?
PYO : Sir, it was only our Gov., Adams that said no to the request. If you were around I know they won't have said that in your presence. They know that I am a Professor not a general. Ta lo to gbena woju ekun.
PMB : (Laughter) Don't worry when I come back I will want them to repeat the same thing. How can stop the corruption fight because of the militants, that can't happen. The war continues. We will not be deterred, corruption is worse than militancy.
