Former Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari has stirred reactions online after a video surfaced showing him giving money to a musician on stage during an event.

The video, shared widely on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), shows Buhari smiling as he dips his hand into his pocket and hands the artist a bundle of dollar notes while on stage.

Diaspora digital media (DDM) noted that this gesture has sparked widespread discussion, with many Nigerians contrasting it with the hardship experienced during Buhari’s administration.

Known for implementing strict economic policies, Buhari’s tenure was marked by the hardship, high inflation, and widespread poverty.

These policies made life difficult for the average Nigerian, leading some to criticize the former president for what they perceive as a carefree display of wealth at an event.

Sharing the clip, a Twitter user captioned it: “Guinness Book of Records: Buhari gave musician money.”

The tweet quickly gained traction, with Nigerians sharing divided opinions on the matter.

For some, the sight of Buhari smiling and engaging warmly with the musician was a rare display of emotion from the former leader, who was often perceived as stern during his presidency.

“I’m happy the musician made Buhari happy,” one user commented.

Others, however, expressed disbelief at the act, referencing the financial struggles endured under his leadership.

“This is ironic, coming from a man whose regime left many Nigerians in economic hardship,” another user wrote.

Despite the mixed reactions, the video of Buhari’s gesture has provided a moment of levity, with some joking that the former president may have developed a softer side after leaving office.

For others, however, it has reignited debates about his time in power and the legacy of his administration.

While Buhari’s action may have been a simple display of generosity, it has become a symbol of larger conversations about leadership and responsibility in Nigeria.

Social media remains abuzz, with many questioning whether the act reflects a change in his personality or if it is just another instance of the contradictions that defined his presidency.

This video has kept Nigerians talking, ensuring Buhari’s name remains a topic of public discourse even after leaving office.
