Today marks the 80th birthday of the charismatic Muhammadu Buhari, President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Typical of his nature, this is one very important milestone in his life that he would rather mark privately, only with deep reflection and prayers, devoid of any fanfare. Alas, with a sizeable clan of children and grandchildren of this “digital age” and on account of the exalted office he occupies today, this is one birthday that will not pass uncelebrated, in one form or another. I join the multitude of his admirers and other Nigerians in wishing Mr. President a very happy birthday, good health and increased wisdom to continue to serve the country he loves so much and that he has done so much for, including putting his life on the line so early in his youthful days, to keep together and to prosper.
