BABANGIDA AND OUR HISTORY
It is exactly 30 years ago today that Gen. Ibrahim
Badamasi Babangida, famously known as IBB
overthrew the then Government of General
Muhammadu Buhari in 1985. Since that infamous
day, it had not been well with Nigeria, until 1st
April 2015 when Nigerians voted Buhari as their
democratically elected incumbent president.
During those 30 blighted years, Nigeria had been
to hell and back. It was the period during which
all the good values of this country, such as hard
work, honesty, discipline, integrity, accountability
and all the traits and characteristics that edify a
nation and a people were thrown to the dogs.
Many of us observed the survival of Nigeria under
such vicissitudes as a miracle wrought by God
Himself. During the period, Nigeria was raped,
abused and deliberately pushed to the precipice in
the forlorn hope that she would fall therefrom into
the abyss and thereafter disintegrate, ostensibly
so as to free those raping her from any
responsibility as there would be no Nigeria
thereafter. Corruption became unbridled and was
actually unleashed irresponsibly on the country.
The best brains were driven away from her
shores. Perfidy, debauchery and all manner of evil
flourished. Corruption was glorified and became
the sole route to a "happy and successful" life. It
will take several volumes of contemporary history
books to tell the story of what transpired between
1985 and 2015. It took 12 gruelling years for
Nigerians to re-instate Muhammadu Buhari as
their leader, but this time as a democratically
elected President. Expectations are high. Most of
those leaders under whose watch Nigeria was
pillaged are still alive.
Let them please allow the will of God to prevail,
so that this President will repair the damage they
wilfully inflicted on this nation. Nigerians know
that if the events of this day, 30 years ago did not
occur Nigeria would have followed a different
tr

Wow....

A tragic detour.

Now time to hunker down and painstakingly rebuild: shortcuts will not do it Thankfully, it's still possible and taking shape roughly already.

Peace to the counless victims, dead and alive, in the 30 yrs the sad decline ran.

Life is all about perseverance

OK

Really?
