@kcjazz
It's not about him feeding its about how he can on a routine basis fund presidential campaign, election petition tribunal and even float his own party which requires substantial amounts of money.

johndoe200:

No one really knows how buhari makes his money or who funds his campaigns. It would not surprise me if he is funded by some outside Islamic people / organizations, 

Nsiman:

Stop fooling urselves, stipens to ex rulers was just given a nod recently by NASS, where do buhari get earnings/income for consumption and campaign b4 NASS gave the nod? Some say from charity-meaning buhari is among the almajiris, others say from campaign appeal fund but i haven't heard him organise any fund raising in all his 4 time campaigns.

cold:

Ok, your honesty is noted.Methinks as an elder statesman running for the highest office in the land he should be in the forefront of trying to quell the perpetual religious strife in Plateau state & elsewhere.In any event i rest my case.

Nsiman:

@ genbuhari, pls let us have buhari's family life: how many wife(ives), child(ren), concubine (if any) and dependants. A gerentologist can tell u better that @70, buhari will not perform as u think and u'll come here again to tell us that buhari's old age is not letting him be proactive on duty.

Jarus:

His sources of income:
1, Ex-Head of state, earns monthly pay
2, Ex-service man, earns gratuity
3, As PTF boss, earned salary and allowances
4, He is a farmer, runs large scale cattle farm.

kenis:

Buhari printed a lot of money and hid it on several warehouse both in Nigeria and Togo. He is one of the richest man in Africa. He's only pretending. You never can tell what these military president did or could do.  

cold:

Let us proceed from the premise that he has a clean bill of health corruption wise (which i vehemently disagree with) His extreme religious views completely rules him out of the equation.Even in Egypt with all the clamour for Mobarak to go,no one wants the Muslim Brotherhood to get to power cuz everyone and anyone with a brain the size of an apple understands what freedom is

Eziachi:

Can you do me a favour?
Please can you give me a link or publish lectures or statements attributed to Buhari showing this his extreme religoius views you are talking about? I mean it.
I will like to see it
However, I don't know this guy as much as you do, cos it seems you know the guy very well.
I really will appreciate it. Thanks

"I will continue to show openly and inside me the total commitment to the Sharia movement that is sweeping all over Nigeria," . . .

"God willing, we will not stop the agitation for the total implementation of the Sharia in the country,". . .

-Gen. Buhari

Beaf:

This is a very good thread. Where are Buhari's sources of income?
We know $2.8billion missing NNPC money that got Fela singing was traced to his fixed deposit account at Midland Bank London, Buhari denies this. So we wanna know how he has been able to fund political parties and hop from place to place if he has no hidden pot of gold?

Genbuhari3:

now i am convinced that GEJ and PDP are trying to take over nairaland through BEAF, NSIMAN, JOHNDOE and the other thieves. can you imagine this beaf has been posting consistently for close to 24 hrs now? funny enough nsiman and other usernames of Beaf too.

I am beginning to believe this guy is yahoo yahoo leaving on the internet and feeding fat on GEJ Fantasy and money

Katsumoto:

That can't be right for several reasons
1. OBJ and Shehu Yaradua were in power when that money disappeared
2. Buhari was a professional soldier at that time with no political appointment
3. Fela actually wrote that song for OBJ and Yaradua

It is alleged that it was Yaradua and Atiku who actually took the money. At that time, Atiku was the NPA top dog. It is claimed that the money, or parts of it, was literarily shipped out. I would question such a moronic way of laundering money but when I remember how much physical cash that Abacha kept at home, I wouldn't be surprised if the story is true. Remember this was in 1978 and Abacha's case was in the 90s.

Nsiman:

@ jarus, it's still shallow. is buhari into farming than obj? Yet uzo kalu and atiku boast of them being the chief financiers of obj's 1st term. Don't 4get that buhari as ptf chair was an appointment, how much was he paid annually and for just about two years (no pension/gratuity) as ptf chair take note.

Muza:

u guyz amaze me,so do u think if someone as honest as Buhari sits down in his house without goin out he will go hungry?
he will lack food and basic necessities of life?,NO,there always be ppl falling over themselves trying to do those things,but not just anybody sha,only equally honest associates and well-wishers.
Buhari does not even know how the cars he use for campaign are fueled,talkless of money for court cases,friends,well-wishers,associates at work.

vote BB2011 for the bloodless revolution
join the honest and winning team

Kobojunkie:

But you do realize that much of what continues to happen in Jos is LESS Religion and more ethnic?

cold:

Kobo,kobo   about to begin an unending cycle of back & forth.Ok what if i concur that it is more of an ethnic issue with religious colorations but he should have weighed in at some point to calm things down,considering the clout he has in the north.What would you come up with?

cold:

^^^what you read,you say?The moment i catch a flight to Naija,as soon as i touchdown Lagos/Abuja my next stop is Jos & i'm telling you what you reading is a complete falsification of the facts.Take my word for it

bk.babe97y:

I'm trying to decide who's a bigger Mor.ron Nsiman or Cold?!?!!

Beaf:

Who exactly would be interested in Buhari's upkeep? Would these be wild eyed, crazy religious extremist types?

Kobojunkie:

Let me put it this way. A huge many of those who continued to fight in these riots, time after time, have NO CLUE what they are even fighting for. All they know and hear or are told is the other side is the enemy and they need to be gotten rid of. And this is not unique to Jos.

I prefer to take a 360 look at the situation, and honestly, I see this as more of an ethnic problem masquerading now as a religious problem. Not until the ethnic issues are dealt with, will the problem be solved.

cold:

Ethnicity issues between which groups?The Hausa and the Beroms?Do you realise that there are as many Igbos & Yorubas in Jos as there are hausas?How come it's only the Hausa/Fulanis fighting to lay claim to land that isn't theirs?Think,360 that is

Muza:

pls tell me which work patience has done in her life that makes her richer than Buhari?,just answer this one,lets not start withe her corrupt,clueless,desperate husband  Grin

u've not answered my question,those lies u keep peddling are sour and outdated pls find new ones

Kobojunkie:

Like I said, many of those fighting have no clue what the fight is really about and so they take advantage of the situation to express their own deep seated hate against other groups, and so we have people going after ibos, christians, and even Yoruba(including the Muslims among them). This is Nigeria!
