You guess right.. I m actually a pikin.
So Military President exist in the dictionary, registered or reported in any language journal abi..
"In his own word, Nigeria Military President"
That would have been a much better phrase.
It is extremely misleading and wrong to use that phrase without a reference. those who are not around during his declaration would think is actually a correct adjective.

With the oil revenue, Babangida created the Federal
Environmental Protection Agency in 1985. He created
eleven state governments and several local government
councils. He had the Toja Bridge in Kebbi constructed. He
also created the Jibia Water Treatment Plant and the
Challawa Cenga Dam in Kano. In 1992, constituted the Oil
Mineral Producing Area Development Commission.
Babangida also increased the share of oil royalties and
rents to state of origin from 1.5 to 3 percent

Babangida issued a referendum to garner support for
austerity measures suggested by the International Monetary
Fund (IMF) and the World Bank , and subsequently launched
his "Structural Adjustment Program" (SAP) in 1986. The
policies involved in the SAP were:
deregulation of the agricultural sector to include
abolition of marketing boards and elimination of price
controls
privatisation of public enterprises
devaluation of the Nigerian naira to improve the
competitiveness of the export sector
relaxation of restraints on foreign investment put in
place by the Gowon and Obasanjo governments during
the 1970s. [1]
Between 1986 and 1988, these policies were executed as
intended by the IMF, and the Nigerian economy actually did
grow as had been hoped, with the export sector performing
especially well.

You're completely lost.. Read my post again bro.
Its all about the poster calling BABANGIDA Nigerian President which is not correct..
Nobody is praising IBB. During his regime I already have a girlfriend maybe you can start doing the maths from there.. When he was stepping aside, I already know politic and consequences of military rule bro.
Though we are faceless online but sometime we don't know who we are quoting.

In 1989, Babangida legalized the formation of political
parties, and after a census was carried out in November
1991, the [ National Electoral Commission]] (NEC)
announced on 24 January 1992 that both legislative
elections to a bicameral National Assembly and a
presidential election would be held later that year. A process
of voting was adopted, referred to as Option A4. This
process advocated that any candidate needed to pass
through adoption from the local level to any height of
governance.
Babangida had formed two political parties, namely the SDP
(Social Democratic Party) and NRC (National Republican
Convention) for the elections. He urged all Nigerians to join
either of the parties, which the late Chief Bola Ige famously
referred to as "two leper hands." The two-party state had
been a recommendation of the 17-member Political Bureau.
The legislative elections went ahead as planned, with the
Social Democratic Party (SDP) winning majorities in both
houses of the National Assembly , but on 7 August 1992, the
INEC annulled the first round of presidential primaries,
alleging widespread irregularities. On 4 January 1993,
Babangida announced a National Defense and Security
Council (NDSC), of which he was president, while in April
1993, the SDP nominated Moshood Kashimawo Olawale
Abiola (MKO) as its presidential candidate, with the
National Republican Convention (NRC) choosing Bashir Tofa
to run for the same position. On 12 June 1993, a
presidential election was finally held, but no results were
ever announced, because Babangida annulled the elections.
It was however unofficially announced in some states that
Abiola had won 19 of the 30 states . That Abiola had
unofficially won the general election.[1

Amen, IBB is already a dead carcass, the same applies to Buhari and all others that raped the destiny of Nigeria, the pictures below is for all of them

godofuck231:
ma nigga,killed dele giwa because he asked for trying to blackmail him 2ice, sent a letterbomb the third time and the greedy journalist went straight to Allah, killed vasta because he knew of the coup and those behind it and didn't hint him, helped families who were loyal to him, alakija made Mariam the fashion figure she was, made him proud so he issued her a block,
As a genius he was for him not get thrown out of position allowed citizens access to the backdoor to the country's wealth, especially those working in the civil service, everybody had a share of the national cake

kenzysmith:
that harsh bro

Reference:


Your history is obviously dodgy and the realities are a bit far from the truth. In the first place it is the Indigenization policy of the Murtala administration that started the exodus of foreign interests in Nigerian industry. In the heydays of apartheid everything foreign was labelled colonialist, racist, fascist and they were nationalised or subtantially indigenised with obvious consequences.

Bythe time IBB came to power it was all gone. Industries that were lost during his regime were purely resulting from economic factors primarily due to the weakening of the purchasing power of the average Nigerian.

Also my take on the other economic missteps is simple. Yes he weakened the naira. This was to reduce the stress on the foreign exchange market which in princiole is to discourage imports and spur local industry but he failed to realise that the average Nigerian is lazy and prefers a quick ride to prosperity and so will not make anything he needs.

This hasn't changed till today. We are still poor, lazy and an unproductive nation of people who live far beyond their means. You cannot blame IBB alone for a cultural position.

ahmg001:
The crook himself.mouth like benin ore expressway

itsme01:


the truth is if dele wanted anything from babangida he would had been alive today because since babangida was an army procurement officers during the previous regime days till him been Army COAS, people knew him has a very generous guy who would pay you anything without sweating it, babangida also killed the detain woman in kirikiri in the drug scandal along with dele... as for vasta he was a popular guy especially among the writters , poet and nigerian socials and he was very loved by junior rank, so danjuma warned IBB on the potentials that could cost his regime, and supreme military council hurriedly approve a very fast kangaroo trail and eliminated him fast fast even before people like wole soyinka , achebe and other scholars could beg on his behalf his death as been announced

godofuck231:
nice one for there but there's more to dele giwas death, he took money and still asked for more while threatening blackmail, and that was his bane
