Is Aisha supposed to return to Nigeria when her husband is still sick in London. She’snot a good wife at all. A good wife will stay by her husband and make sure She takes proper care and supervise all medically treatments he’s getting.

Now that her husband is sick, she shouldn’t have a life of her own again? The doctors in London are capable of treating him until he recover and fully, let Aisha be in Nigeria with their children

Aisha will never hear word and be cautious. Has she forgotten that there is no one to be trusted? Hearsay says Buhari is suffering from food poisoning or who has she appointed to be cooking for Mr President over there

Forget it, buhari was not in any way poisoned. It’s old age sickness and disease that is affecting him.

Insha Allah, Baba Buhari will be well soon and be back shortly. Let’s just pray for him and forget about if he was poisoned or not
