My personal take on this subject, it is quite shameful Nigeria lost it after IBB took over, I can only imagine how great the nation would have been. Jonathan had the privilege to prove to Nigerians for 6years of his capabilities. When do we want to start getting things right in this country? I dont care how many roads he built or is building, how does that add up to the gdp of each family. If he enters again for another 4years, if worse things beyond boko haram goes off, we will suffer it and he wont because their is a large disconnect between his government and the people, and his body language is as though someone who believes God anointed the post for him, so he owes nobody any explanation for his inactions, rather he would blame it on others, or say he met it like that, then set up a committee for Nigerians to forget about that issue and prepare to face the next issue. As for Gen. Buhari, people claim he has lost 3times forgetting that even yaradua accepted it that they rigged him in, so I need another definition of success, is it peoples opinion, or just the powers from the govt? Agagu lost in ondo, and was declared winner from abuja, do you term that a win. Even though the court was eventually able to upturn that, it is easier at state level compared to the federal. I actually wonder who GMB political advisers are, he is a good man, with good intentions, but he cannot cheat nature, the energy and zeal cannot be like 30years ago, he needs to support a younger person to whom he can trust, a person of integrity and character, a person who is accountable, open and honest( does not have to be hausa, anybody). He should flag such a person out. If GMB is still so eager to be part of the govt, he can be selected for the EFCC chairman, I am sure so many people ex govs and president would flee the country. Under this present administration, a lot of people have died untimely, and nothing is been done to prevent a future occurrence. As for those clamoring GEJ till 2019, I pray your family, friends dont get involved in the plague consuming the land all because of negligence from the govt. Everything in life is not about money, if you sell your conscience because of what you have to benefit today, dont forget IBB had it all, now he has lost his wife to cancer, he his aging, and has no freedom to tour the country, go to Nigeria resort to relax because there is none functional. One day you would get old too, if you dont clamour for change, your children might not benefit from a good country called Nigeria. 4 Likes |

Imokay: I think an average Nigerian likes the way things are. Honestly, like Lagbaja rightly said in is Mumu song. We are all afraid of what will challenge our corrupt nature. We criticize the good and embrace the evil. We deserve our leaders, honestly. As election day is drawing near vot aree for anyone you like, feel free to lock yourself in for 4-8years. Enjoy the atmosphere of insecurity,uncertainty and more and then I believe,your soul will be satisfied.Spot on bro. Even my aunt who is about 65 years told me the same thing. Nigerians are afraid of positive change because they will also have their shortcomings. In Buhari's regime even people at lower levels of government were afraid of stealing even the smallest amounts money. Come to my state and see how even "local government Councillors" are lavishly wealthy from stolen funds while the people lack major social amenities and reek of abject poverty. Haba. Current PDP Politicians know if Buhari is elected their milking source of Nigerian funds will be broken. Some of them know they'll definitely be arrested. PDP has changed the Democracy of Nigeria to Freedom of looting public funds. I'm a Southerner but I support APC. 90% of Southerners I've asked why do you support GEJ? "Because he is from the South"...We want our brother there. Funny enough our Southern states are not much different from the other zones. We still reek of undevelopment even with our so-called brother there. It's a big Shame what tribalism had done to us. Even salaries are paid late most times. Sometimes 2weeks into a new month. It's a shame. Nigerians we are truly the cause of our problems. I'm sure GEJ even asks himself sometimes "I hope these people are sane? Why are they even supporting me blindly with the backwardness of this country since I came in?" Nigerians be the judge come 2015. As for me I can't just imagine PDP in the hem of affairs for another 4 years. It's gonna be devastating. We need to try something different. Personally I don't think there's anything that can be worse than PDP. My Opinion. 4 Likes |

barcanista: Not comparism per se but Nigerians need to look at the record of both men to decide which to align with. In the face of TAN propaganda, Nigerians deserve to know "What Is going on", otherwise, we may fall for another 4years scam Buhari is the president we can trust for now to streer this country in the right direction. I wish every Nigerian would critically look at these comparisons, put sentiments aside and vote Buhari, come 2015. Even Gej and PDP know the truth, that is why they are trying to tarnish his image by falsely branding him a Bokoharam sponsor. Unfortunately, a lot of people have fallen for this propaganda. 3 Likes |

barcanista: Since when did I become your spokesperson? Gentleman SPEAK for yourself. I cannot imagine what you found in my initial post that elicited this your mindless response. You posted a topic and explained why Buhari would be a hard sell, in less than a week you did a U-turn and sang praises of same man you castigated earlier. If you were hoping no one realised your doublethink, you're wrong? I'd be pleased to know where I implied you were anybody's spokesperson, that statement makes you out to be someone who thinks too highly of himself, pride goes before a fall. |

Re: Modified by Nobody: 5:40pm On Sep 03, 2014 |
@Mogidi 1. From what I found out Buhari didn't participate in the coup. It shaped my opinion. IBB, Abacha, Gusau, David Mark, Onoja were the players. 2.My Opinion and disgust for Decrees 2 and 4 remains the same. 3.Buhari said the monies was found in the account of his family members and not him. Though I respect his view but don't agree with him. 4. That is common to World Leaders which is wrong. Even Jonathan wants automatic ticket. Obj made sure he got every "informal" nominations in 2003. Obama never had a rival in Democrat party in 2012, same with Bush in Republican Party, 2004. 5. Age is not a criteria for leadership but competence and vision. American had 70plus Presidents so was Mandela 6. On a second thought it makes no sense. Was driven by fear of the unknown 7. Yes, I'm against public humiliation but was common in the military. However, we still have security forces humiliate civilians without the Civilian Govt acting. Eg Soldiers givin ppl frog jump, brt buses burning etc. 8. Get the Bleep off my mentions. I've schooled you enough, go do your own research. 3 Likes |

barcanista: Well I agree wit you about all these thing that was enforced by the buhari led military government and thank God for the late Gen tunde idiagbon who made sure all this things were enforced (may his gentle soul rest in peace)but one thing you must have forgotten about is that buhari ruled in a military government where the military could carry out any decision with out the consent of any house and no bill had to be passed and the judiciary will completely work according to the military arrangements and where by if you try to sabotage the government you were either jailed for as you said a 100-300 yrs let's simply say life in jail (pls coate me wronge if I am) or ur simply executed bt that is not the case of Gej a man surrounded by lions,tigers and bears and still with all the pressure that is put on him we are still moving,is it the economy issues,joblessness,neglect of youths,tribalism,political killings and so on just name it and tell me what government past and present is not guilty of any of these offences then I'd give you a round of aplauds mind you this is democracy nd I'm sure when the time comes you would be number one person to criticize this same Mohammedu buhari that you are praising,of cause now we are nigerians and one thing we knw how to do best is to criticize rather than being supportive and patriotic. |

JUST FOR THE RECORDS On December 31, 1983, the army struck again. This time the brazen corruption, the economic mismanagement, and the inept leadership of civilians provided the grounds for military intervention. Indeed, conditions had deteriorated so much in the Second Republic that when the coup came, it was widely acclaimed. Major General Muhammadu Buhari, a Hausa/Fulani northerner from Katsina State and a former member of the SMC in the Muhammad/Obasanjo governments, became the head of state. Because of the great powers that his second in command, Major General Tunde Idiagbon, chief of staff at Supreme Headquarters, was believed to wield, many commentators refer to this government as the Buhari/Idiagbon regime. In broad outline, the structure of government remained essentially the same as it was under Muhammad and Obasanjo. At the apex was the SMC, and the subordinate bodies were the Federal Executive Council and the National Council of States. The urgent task before the government was to salvage the country's economy, which had suffered from the mismanagement of the Second Republic and from the rapid drop in the price of crude oil. Nigeria had become heavily indebted to several foreign monetary agencies, and the price of crude oil had begun to slide. Buhari believed that urgent economic problems required equally urgent solutions. He also thought that it was not a pressing issue to prepare to hand power over to civilians; in fact, all of Nigeria's military regimes have ruled without the benefit of democratic checks and balances. The Buhari government investigated and detained the top political leaders of the Second Republic, holding them responsible for economic excesses of the previous regime. Constraints were placed on various groups, including the Nigerian Medical Association, which was outlawed, and the National Association of Nigerian Students, and it promulgated two decrees that restricted freedom of the press and suppressed criticism of the government. Decree Number 4 forbade any journalist from reporting information considered embarrassing to any government official. Two journalists, Tunde Thompson and Nduka Irabor, were convicted under the decree. Decree Number 2 gave the chief of staff at Supreme Headquarters the power to detain for up to six months without trial anyone considered a security risk. Special military tribunals increasingly replaced law courts while the state security agency, the National Security Organisation, was given greater powers. Buhari's controls also extended to his efforts to deal with the problems of "indiscipline" in the areas of environmental sanitation, public decorum, corruption, smuggling, and disloyalty to national symbols such as the flag and the anthem. He declared a War Against Indiscipline and specified acceptable forms of public behavior, such as a requirement to form lines at bus stops. The main concern, however, remained the economy. The government introduced a comprehensive package of austerity measures. It closed the country's land borders for a period to identify and expel illegal alien workers and placed severe restrictions on imports and heavy penalties on smuggling and foreign exchange offenses. The austerity measures made it difficult for local industries to procure essential imported raw materials, leading many of them to close or to operate at greatly reduced capacity. Many workers were laid off, and government itself retrenched many workers to increase its "cost effectiveness." All of these actions were accompanied by high inflation. The price of basic food items rose, and life became increasingly difficult, even for the affluent. Despite the increased efficiency with which Buhari and his associates tackled the multifaceted national crisis, the regime's inflexibility caused discontent. The latter was the main justification given for the overthrow of Buhari by General Babangida in a palace coup on August 27, 1985, although the personal ambition of Babangida was an important contributing factor.

On decree 4, it might surprise you all to know that the Buhari government is perhaps the only government that NEVER shut down a media house. Yes! Pressmen were arrested for inciting or unsubstantiated publications but never was a full media house shut down. Of Shagari, Shonekan and Abdulsalam governments, i'm not sure but ALL others did since end of civil war to date! Yes including Yaradua and Jonathan. |
