Some Hard Facts About Gen Buhari We Need To Know by akanbiaa(m): 6:19am On Nov 28, 2014
Read Prof Tam David West; "Religion is a personal thing and every man has the right to choose his own, or practice it the way he likes. Most of the sycophants that use religion to defame the character of Buhari are not even practicing their acclaimed self righteousness. Many of them are occultists. They kill and conduct daily human sacrifices to remain in power. Buhari is a man of integrity and I respect him a lot. But because majority of those who have looted this country to poverty are afraid to end up in jail or loose their ill gotten wealth, they chose to fabricate lies against Buhari. They hire hungry and morally corrupted scholars to do the dirty jobs on their behalf. It is quite unfortunate that Nigerians buy all the lies they trade through the media. This is the only country where people prefer to believe in a hear say than make a research. Only a minute population of Nigerians are willing to investigate an allegation before they draw conclusions. Nigerians have resolved to be praise singers to corrupt leaders. We have failed to ask for accountability. Our conscience has been beclouded with religious and ethnic sentiments. Our sense of judgement and reason have been blinded by poverty. We chose to mortgage our tomorrow and the future of our children for the rice and a few Naira notes they share during elections. All we believe is the roads, the bridges, the railways, the electricity they build only on televisions. I always ask my self these questions: 1. Where are the roads? The Abuja - Lokoja road was awarded by Obasanjo's administration. He spent 8 years in the office. Then Yaradua and Goodluck spent another 8 years. Now if Goodluck is elected, he will be spending another 8 years. This will amount to 24 years and 180 km road is yet to be completed. Enugu - Onitsha road was also awarded by the Obasanjo administration and till date, a journey that is supposed to take 45 minutes can take you 8 hours if it rains. Enugu- PH road is on the same series. What about Uyo - Calabar route? Just to mention a few. 2. Where is the power? They sold all the NEPA to their friends. We pay for the light that was not supplied. 3. Our education and health system go bad everyday. Lecturers and Health workers spent more time at home than in the schools and hospitals as a result of incessant strikes. 4. The government failed to provide us with security. People are being killed everyday and yet government comes out to tell us they are in control. 4. Why are we pretending that all is well? It is only in Nigeria where monies develop wings and fly. $20 billion oil money disappeared and they said it was $10 billion. Forensic investigators were hired and that was the end of the story. N20 billion pension fund stolen and nothing came out of it. $9.3 million seized in South Africa and government claimed it was meant for ammunition purchase. The immigration scandal has also been swept under the carpet because the senate could not proceed with their investigation. The man behind the contract is sitting among the high seats in the senate. Innocent people were defrauded and they at the same time lost their lives yet, we have a transparent governance. 5. Why are we praising government as if they are doing whatever with their personal money. How many people in their various communities have they provided scholarship with their personal money before they got elected? The reason they got elected is to manage our resources and not to loot us dry. One thing I know is that we will not have any meaningful development except if we make a change. Age or no age, Buhari is a better option for the present day Nigeria" Please pass it on...

More facts.
We are people with different inclinations but for the purpose of those who are detached from history or the youths below the age of 30 or those who had been fed with historical distortions there is need to put the record straight for a man whose track record remains a phenomenon in Nigeria, Africa and the world at large.
Buhari was governor of Borno state under Obasanjo regime and later minister of petroleum.
Buhari birthed and supervised the establishment of the existingrefineries.
He was head of state between 1983-1985 (a period of 20 months).
There was no religious crisis while he was head of state.
He reduced inflation from 23% to 4% by fiscal discipline and home grown economic team (not achieved under any other era).
J.J. Rawlings of Ghana took over 2 years before him and killed all the corrupt leaders, while Buhari only sentenced the corrupt leaders in Nigeria to prison.
Under his watch as PTF chairman, what he did in road construction in that short period hasn’t been matched by 12 years of the PDP.
Hospitals and universities around the country never witnessed as much benefits as they got from the PTF from
any government after or before his time.
He refused to collect allowance while serving as chairman of the PTF because he said he was already drawing a pension from government, his conscience would not allow him to draw another salary from the purse of same government.
He returned excess money spent to purse of government on his return from oversea training as a military officer
He is the only former head of state that does not own property or land in Abuja.
Buhari personally recommended late Dora Akunyili to OBJ because of her diligence during PTF interaction.
Every attempt to rubbish him through probes in time past ended up vindicating him! The man who was asked by OBJ to take over PTF before it was scrapped with the aim of indicting Buhari ended up being prosecuted for misappropriating $100 million of PTF funds!
His personal driver of many years is a christian from Plateau state!
He has OPENLY challenged those who accuse him of religious fundamentalism to come out and show proof. No one has till today, taken up the challenge.
He is the ONLY politician in northern Nigeria today who fills rallies without renting a crowd!
People who know him (including pastor Bakare) have said of him……” All I need from Buhari is his word, I can take it to the bank”.
If honesty and probity are the things you want for Nigeria, now is the time to choose right.
”Conscience is an opened wound, only truth can heal it”
Spread the message to the uninformed, misinformed and all Nigerians home and abroad.
