Quote
Nigeria’s president, Muhammadu Buhari, has denied claims he had died and been replaced by a lookalike “clone”.

The bizarre rumour has spread on social media in the west African country over recent months after the 75-year-old spent much of last year in the UK being treated for an undisclosed illness.

The conspiracy theory – which has even been aired by some of Mr Buhari’s political opponents – involves a body double from Sudan called Jubril taking the president’s place following his alleged death.

No solid evidence has been presented for the imposter theory, but videos making the claim have still been viewed thousands of times on YouTube and Facebook.

  • That is the problem with everything. They try and make it better without realizing the old is fine.

It's obvious to me that the clone is lying right now.  That's just what clones do.  The real prez is dead, and now the clone has completely taken over the government.

Did they also send the clone through a time machine to age it 75 years?

Hey in other news Generalissimo Francisco Franco is still valiantly holding on in his fight to remain dead.

When asked for comment, Joe Biden responded "How the hell do I know if he is a clone or not. They all look alike to me".
