President Buhari of Nigeria met with the Queen of England in London and asked her...how do you run such an efficient government here? Are there any tips you can give to me? I want to help Nigeria.
QUEEN: The most important thing is to surround yourself with intelligent people.
Buhari: How do I know the people around me are really intelligent?
QUEEN: Oh, that's easy. Just ask them to answer an intelligent riddle. The Queen sent for Theresa May, the Prime Minister. Theresa May walked into the room,
MAY: Yes, your Majesty. You sent for me.
QUEEN: Answer this riddle. Theresa, your mother and father have a child, it is not your brother and it is not your sister. Who is it?"
MAY: Hmmm... that would be me.
QUEEN: Yes, very good.
When Buhari got back to Nigeria, he sent for Abba Kyari, his Chief of Staff.
Kyari walk in to Buhari's office.
Kyari : Sir you called me.
Buhari: Yes sit down and answer this; Your mother and your father have a child, it's not your brother and it's not your sister, who is it?
Kyari: I'm not sure, let me get back to you.
He asked all his staff in the office but none could give him an answer. Kyari then ran to Fashola.
Kyari asked: Your mother and father have a child and it's not your brother or sister, who is it?"
FASHOLA: That's easy. It's me.
Kyari smiled and said, Thanks. Then he went back to speak with President Buhari.
Kyari: Sir, I have the answer to that riddle, It's Babatunde Raji Fashola...
Buhari got angry, and said to Kyari; No wonder Nigeria isn't moving forward, I am surrounded by dummies! The answer is... Theresa May!
