its OPEC quota.
5. Under Buhari, Hoarded Goods were Sold at prices
below market.
CORRUPTION:
1. Senator Sabo Bakin Zuwo, The Civilian Governor
of Kano State was jailed for 300Years because $4.5
million was said to be found "stacked up" in Zuwo's
home when it was searched by the new military
government. He died in 1989
2. Vice President Alex Ekwueme was jailed of
corruption. Stockpiles of money ranged from
$56,000 found at his home

INSURGENCY
1. Maitatsine Group founded by Maitatsine Marwa, a
Koranic scholar, rejected the hadith and the sunnah
and regarded the reading of any other book but
the Koran as paganism raised its head in 1979
during the Administration of President Shehu
Shagari after he was contained by the Murtala
and Obasanjo Administrations. Maitatsine spoke
against the use of radios, watches, bicycles, cars
and the possession of more money than
necessary. Churches, Market, Police Formations,
Government buildings etc was attacked leaving over
FIVE thousand dead btw 1979 and 1981 (including
Maitatsine).The Group moved to Kano, Borno,
Kaduna, Gombe and environs. Over 4,000 people
died(65% were insurgents). Buhari Crushed the
Insurgency COMPLETELY within 16months. The 2i/c
fled to Cameroon and was arrested in 2004.
OTHER SECURITY
1. There was high rate of armed robbery during
Shagari's regime. Buhari stopped it, brought an end
to armed robbery.
2. Introduced NURTW to checkmate "One Chance"
and subsequently brought law and order.
3. Drug traffikers were executed.
PETROLEUM INFRASTRUCTURE
1. As NNPC Chairman, He was the man that Initiated
and signed the construction contract of the existing

1965.
THE PRESS
He Instituted decree 2 and Decree 4 that was aimed
at gaging the Press and Banned street protests. This
is his only low but he was honest in his actions.
N/B: I deliberately refused to including Road
Projects and others so as not to make it too bulky
and boring.

So what was happening to the so much oil money when the railway was completely broken down and dysfunctional?

By the way, what is your definition of PROGRESS? Progress is when you move From a state of dysfuctionality to the point of functionality. That is progress and that is what GEJ is doing in the railway sector.

The enemies of progress can go and die

Here it is but u will have to read down a little bit to get where the PDP accused the governor before Davis cam out wit his own.. sunnewsonline.com/new/?p=82117

Thats the point. PDP is not GEJ or FG. GEJ cannot be responsible for everything FG says, like APC and its government officials. If the president came out and openly accused a governor of sponsoring Boko Haram, it will be a scandal of the highest order.

The other link said SSS cleared Ihejirika and Former Governor Sherif who is PDP and not Current Governor Shettima who is APC.
Are you now Sheriff fan?


Please give me the proof of where GEJ/FG accused Borno Governor of being Boko Haram sponsor or where SSS cleared him of being one!

I'm not talking of Buhari condemning Boko haram rather I'm talking about his silence over the bloody aftermath of the 2011 presidential elections where he lost under the umbrella of the CPC. Recently he even made threatening and inflammatory statement about how baboons and dogs will be soaked in blood in Nigeria in 2015 if elections are rigged (in order words if he loses).

Noooooo why will they clear him? The DSS only clears new found friends of the president who happened to be in power at the advent of the Boko Haram scourge.....like Modu Sheriff. The same one who is now a member of the PDP and walking around with about 200 Nigerian soldiers guarding him.

If Shettima wants to be cleared by the DSS, he only needs to hop on the GEJ 2015 train.

Sorry Bro, you may be too young to know, but the trains were working during Buhari's regime. Even up to the late 80's when IBB was in charge the rails still worked. I remember as a kid we used to be excited watching the trains pass at Yaba near Fela's house. When I was in Pry 6 in 1989 we took a train ride from Iddo as part of our excursion week. You can't pin the death of the NRC on Buhari.

My brother those people killed rail system for their trailer business to strive. Haven't you noticed that a particular tribe owns all the trailers businesses. That is why they are not supporting GEJ bc he is spoiling their monopolised businesses in many sectors.
Haven't you noticed also that he is being criticised more by these same people who will oppose anything good for the country.
