Baawaa:
To me i believe the main problem we have as a nation is CORRUPTION,and how can we solve it,we need someone that is less corrupt because they were all corrupt.If we don't want to swindle ourselves,Buhari can fix many things because he knows the root of our Nigeria problem

ceejay4real: My dear fellow Compatriots, lets ask ourselves a question. Were the Northern Officers and Soldiers justified 2 murder close to 400 Igbo Officers & Men of the Nigerian Army on the 29th of July, 1966? Afterall, Major Chukwuma Kaduna Nzeogwu & co only killed 8 Military Officers and 4 politicians on the 15th of January earlier in the same year, totalling 12 people in all. To keep the records straight, the 12 victims are as follows: Sir Ahmadu Bello (North), Sir Tafawa Belewa (North), Chief Ladoke Akintola (West), Chief Festus Okotie - Eboh (Midwest), Brig. Samuel Ademulegun(West), Brig. Zakariya Maimalari(North), Col Kur Muhammed(North), Col Robert Shodeinde (West), Lt. Col Abogo Largema(East), Lt. Col Arthur Unegbe(East), Lt. Col Yakubu Pam (North) & Major Sam Adegoke(West). Even the East had a ''fair share'' of the dead. I may dare say that what happened under Nzeogwu's command was a bloodbath but by no means a massacre not to talk of being a planned annihiliation of politicians & members of the Armed Forces 4rm a certain section of the country or Ethnic group by the Igbos! We should pls reason like patriots here and not bigots. The British Imperialists and the Northern Oligarchy (hegemonists) were behind d false & misguided rumours abt Maj. Nzeogwu's motives just 2 make sure Gen. J. T. U. Aguiyi-Ironsi was deposed asap and replaced by a Northern Head of State so as to foster d Northern Agenda. OK, lets assume d Northern Officers were justified killing hundreds of their colleagues in cold blood, were the Pogroms (against civilians) of 1966 and Genocidal war of 1967 - 1970 also justified? Pls lets always be fair minded and avoid petty hatred and sentiments in our posts here on NL. On Gen. Buhari, I believe he was ill-advised and misguided as at the time. He was barely 24 yrs old then. So I 4give him and pray d entire Igbo race do. God bless the dead. Long Live the Federal Republic of Nigeria!

camelus:
What about his pronoucement that led to the killing of Innocent Corp Members in Post Election Violence?

OsunOriginal: This will only appeal to already bigoted easterners like yourself. No sane person will even read beyond the first line of the junk.

automaticcarzz:


What about the cowards who blindly took his kinsmen to war (Biafra) to die for his selfish motive? The coward eventually ran away from the battlefield and seek refuge in Ivory-Coast. This coward died recently with blood of innocent Igbos on his hands too.

noblezone: I don't care whether Buhari killed Igbo officers, civilians or not!

This is not 1966, this is 2013!

BUHARI cannot and must not rule Nigeria! It is as simple as that!

From 1960 till today, only a few men had held this useless jungle of a country to ransom.
Enough is enough!

utumunta:


Is it this same reason that led him to:.
1. Overthrow an elected government.
2. Call for muslims to vote muslims.
3. Have, uptill now, refused to campaign or reach out to SE and SS.
4. Make inflammatory statements that tend to divide.
5. Unnatural quest for power.
Buhari is an anti-democrat and ought not to benefit from one.

automaticcarzz:


T.Y Danjuma was one of the culprits on the list and he happens to President Jonathan's role model. Jonathan said it himself that T.Y Danjuma was his role model as a politician.

eagle,eye:


Take him to a comptent court of Law or remain silent. Don't condemn a man based on hear-say.

Omo_Tier1: Another stupid post indeed. This is what a nation end up with when their institution of learning is turned into grounds that certificate cowards

[/quote]I don’t like joining issue with my brothers and sisters back home, I sincerely get amused with the way we argue here, I think is high time we stopped arguing on sentiment if we really deserve change we all eager to see in our beloved country Nigeria. Earlier today I was in an African Restaurant just to have the feel of home again, and the issue of Buhari prop up, fellow Nigerian in the restaurant at the restaurant argued for and against Buhari for reason ranging from being a an Islamic bigot to being an ex coupist, nevertheless, all agreed that Buhari is not corrupt and fearless. To me these two attribute are all we need now at this point and time in our nation march to true democracy. With the mess already on ground, this is not the time to entrust Nigeria into the hand of a rookie president, who might have good intention but lack the experience to deal with a complex nation like Nigeria as it is currently. Sincerely speaking am holding forth for Buhari, but at this time, we need a person like him who has the experience and boldness to confront bourgeoisie who are milking our nation to the bone, since he is not part of them, we should put aside our religion belief and try for once to say no to those who are stealing our national wealth while pointing our attention to what divide us. We are the 99%, let for once say NO to the 1% who are instigating us against yourself for their selfish interest.
For record purposes, Neither Muritala Mohammed / Obasanjo nor Buhari/ IdiAgbon ever planned / carried out coup, they were invited to take over after the coup, IBB was the coupist. This is a fact that can be verified. Long live our Nation Nigeria and God bless our land[quote]

PointB:

I'll take the bolded to imply that you personally informed Azikwe and Okpara of the plot. Perhaps you should create a thread to educate us on that. This thread is interested in how Buhari murdered his colleagues in the counter coup, if I may remind you. So if you have nothing to contribute, take your rantings to another thread.

eagle,eye:


I believe that you have a problem with comprehension. Where ever in all my post on this thread did I mention "election" or "Voting". Point B, opened a thread out of mere HATRED for the person of Buhari, and he wants the Igbos to join him in condemning a man whose action(s) was not done in isolation.
When other tribes start writing rubbish tomorrow about the Igbos and their heros, people like Point B will cry foul.

NB
I am very shocked to wake up and see this thread on the Front Page. A thread that will only show NL as a place where Tribal Bigots can come and unleash their hatred and intolerance on other tribes.
The Rwanda Genocide should serve as an example to all other African Nations, but alas Nairaland is gradually turning to a veritable ground were Bigotry is promoted. God forbid it that Nigeria should fight another civil war, but if that happens..... I can only imagine what the HATE MODs are promoting today will turn into.

Dudu_Negro:

we cannot detach from the realities of our political landscape. what the mod is asking us to do is be plastic and pretend that nigeria is one country and we all get along and no disunity. is that your reality?

eagle,eye:

This is the very thing I fear.
Did you read the OPs opening post and subsequent ones?
Do think think the OP ever thought of Fairness before he opened this thread to single out one man out of many, to condemn?
Do you sincerely think that the OP will ever forgive Buhari (that one is even irrelevant)?

TOMORROW THE IGBOs Will be all over NL protecting their own, while some Bigoted Igbo person (whom it seems was obviously paid) will be thinking of another thread to open and condemn someone from another tribe. If we must demand for Fairness, we must be seen as dealing with others in Fairness.

dayokanu:

Dendemorronnn You and this your version of Aesop fables. You still dey tell all these fantastic tales all over?

Na the thing wey vex Mazi Obiora for the village meeting in 2007 wey he wan slap you for public be this.

As you dey take siddon for your lonely one bedroom section 8 apartment, waiting on welfare checks, formulating lies while browsing Nairaland and jerking off on pornnn sites

Very soon you would tell us how you interviewed Alexander the great, Achilles, Hercules, Winston Churchill, Che Guevara, IdiAmin and 2pac Shakur

When in reality the only Biafra war you participated in was on Mortal Kombat 3 with Dendemoron playing as subzero

Riba_man:

I see you attended your Law of Evidence lectures.
However, this is not mere hearsay. This goes beyond hearsay to issues of justice and national reconciliation. We have never revisited the events leading up to the civil war, the Hausa- Fulani officers have distracted us, as such everyone keeps talking about Kaduna Nzeogwu.

Buhari and his ilk murdered their comrades in cold blood, some in their sleep. Let's not forget the other one namely, John Shagaya.

Let's talk about now, because the generation of soldiers who witnessed these atrocities are dying out.

Ngwakwe: See Alhaji Haram who claimed to be Igbo in this same thread.

Stick to your tribe and be proud of it.

Never again.

noblezone: I don't care whether Buhari killed Igbo officers, civilians or not!

You must be one of the most unreasonable person to have commented on nairaland. You don't care if he is killer, why not, it only shows you don't mind the killer of your father taking over your mother and your step fatherhood. It shows you can kill your father or mother or even a relative for anything or nothing. You have no business here, if you have a reason to canvass for him say them and people who believe in them will reason along but you just made his case worse. Big mistake. Thanks.

PointB:

I couldn't careless how you choose to interpret the post. I reserve the right to entertain your or not whatever angle you choose. My basic concern is that those who root for Buhari should know the man better.

PointB:

I agree. Cowards that murder their comrades in cold blood; cowards like Buhari!

aesola: Is Nigeria a recycled Nation? Why are we so dwaft to always go for odds people in a nation of 150million citizen and recycle our Leaders. Murderer of democracy seeking for a democratic position. Only what u enbrace will come to u. Buhari, Babangida et al for Democratic President in Nigeria, mba, no, tufiaka, impossicant, lae lae o, ko se se, babu.

We need another new breed.

Babzrockman: Coup deta'l is not a hidden statement in d world of Army. Who started Coup Deta'l in d country? It was an igbo man named Chukwuma Kaduna who led d first coup dat killed d most Prominent pple of d North.. D most trusted pple in d North Sir Ahmadu Bello and Tafawa Balewa were murdered by Kaduna led coup. So, to me, all d presidents or presidents hav some hidden attributes dat would've derail their chances of contestin or elected.

Ngwakwe: Why call Kaduna Nzeogwo Igbo when you should know he is not from South East according to Yoruba and Hausa gospels.

He has now suddenly become Igbo because he led a negative example.

Doyakanu and Others who always tell us that two wrongs don't make a right have changed their gospel by referencing Kaduna Nzeogwu to exonerate Buhari the arch Murderer and a Coupist.
