• The ‘Jubril from Sudan’ Theory — Madness or a Mirror?

    AriseTv sound Journalist, Oseni Rufai takes us back to one of Nigeria’s wildest political stories — the infamous “Jubril from Sudan” theory.

    It all kicked off in 2017 when then-President Buhari spent over 90 days in a London hospital. What began as a tweet from British MP Eric Joyce quickly spiraled into a nationwide conspiracy: “Buhari is dead. A body double is running Nigeria.”

    Nnamdi Kanu of IPOB seized the moment, pushing the narrative that Buhari had been swapped out for a clone named Jubril from Sudan. This theory took over headlines, social media, and political chatter, prompting Buhari to publicly state in 2018: “It’s the real me, I assure you.”

    But beneath all the chaos lies a more profound question: Why did so many people buy into this? Was it merely propaganda or a sign of the shattered trust between Nigerians and their leaders?

    Rufai Oseni points out: “These theories don’t just appear out of nowhere—they stem from deep political scars, years of cover-ups, and a system that keeps the public in the dark.”

    What’s your take on the Jubril theory? Truth or nonsense? Tag someone who debated this back in the day!
