Balarabe Musa was jailed and he confirmed he never regretted being jailed cos even in prison, the jailed governors were still bribing prison wardens to get higher portion of food

Whatever happened to those '83 news archives of yours. Are you also giving up on the cattlefucker (like my friend Okija will say) already?
I dont blame you. Your 2ic El rufai termed him perpetually unelectable, who are you to doubt him

Mind u, I don't support Buhari for 2015 cos from my campaign for him in 2011, I have realized he is unelectable in the south because of the questionable stigma we in the south have placed on him. But I now crave for a young Buhari who will flush PDP and crush their heads in 2015. And as long as I am consistent and remain faithful on this line. It will happen, and even my best friend and family who steals along with GEJ will not be spared. And if I have stolen too, i pray not to be spared!

How old are you? it's past 10pm, you should be in bed.

denko: Buhari is a great man in his own right and I respect him as an elder statesman. But as far as a democracy is concerned in this digital age and time, Buhari is not the best that Nigeria has to offer.
I am sure you gave yourself this sermon when stuffing ballot papers for Digital-Jonathan and now he doing well running your life smoothly in analogue age pace.

Abuse of power is the worst form of corruption in leadership. Buhari abused power when he was military Head of State.

Name a military government anywhere in the world that doesn't abuse power?

[/quote]When Buhari seized power, he threw Alex Ekwueme into prison in KiriKiri and kept Shehu Shagari under house arrest. How do you explain such double standards?

I[b]ts because Ekwueme is corrupt and Shagari isn't. Where do you think Ekwueme got the money to build all the 5 star Modotel hotels and breweries? From his salary?[/b]

During Buhari, journalists were brutalized, hushed and muzzled. Tunde Thompson and Nduka Irabor were jailed under the evil laws of the Buhari regime.

Its not a one man show govt, the laws a.k.a decree was made by the supreme military council of which Buhari is a member and of which president of the senate now is also a member.

During the Buhari regime, 53 suitcases were smuggled into the country at a time the nation's borders were closed because of the change in the colour of the national currency in 1984. Have we forgotten?

Get over yourself, telling the same lies 100 times would not overnight turn it into being the truth. We all knew about your suitcases, even Buhari worst enemies has come out and said it was truth and in fact the owner of the so called suitcase is an emir and alive today. Moreover Nigerians don't steal money into the country, they do steal to send it outside the country. So retune you brain.

[/quote]Under Buhari's regime, there was a law against 18 year olds going to Hajj. Tunde Idiagbon took his 14 year old son to Hajj and nothing happened.

Which law is that, kindly quote it and if there was a crime was the offender Idiagbon rather than Buhari?

[/quote]Lawal Ojuolape, Benard Ogedengbe and Bartholomew Owoh; these three men were ordered to be executed by Buhari under a retroactive decree for the crime of drug trafficking which didn't carry a death penalty wen they committed the crime.

In more than 30 nations in the world narcotic trafficking is punishable by death and a Nigerian decree stipulated the same at the time and the two people you mentioned wasn't innocent of drug trafficking, they were found guilty by a court in NIGERIA and pay the price for their crime. During that period drug trafficking among Nigerias came to almost zero. What is it now, if you can tell me?

Why would he show up if there was no law mandating him to do so? If you where him I am sure you would have been buying ticket to go where your enemies are waiting. If OBJ was serious, a law through the national assembly would have establish the panel but he didn't do that and left it for choice. After all the jamboree at your Oputa panel, what was the outcome? Nothing!

Thats a big surprise! I am sure Buhari is drowning his soul now with Kai-kai over the lost of your vote for 2015 which you never gave him in other previous election. I am sure he is losing sleep over your vote.

Ur compliment is well appreciated. For what I think of this nation, it will never develop without social justice. As long corruption remains a way of life, no idea to develp this nation will flourish. And I can't see PDP as a fighter against this menace. Buhari must not contest in 2015 but we need him to get us the northern votes! A man who won 12 million votes. And almost half of Nigeria in 2011 cannot be ignored. And ACN knows this! A nation that cannot change a party in power in 16 years is dead! Change is what makes the world beautiful

What worries me however, is that you guys easily conclude that the guys I mentioned above and even GEJ are corrupt and Buhari isnt.

They rigged the election in the north and the aftermath they turn around to pin it on him when he was even a victim.
They registered children in the north and said it was him as if he was their PDP governors, INEC that was in-charge.

There are allegtions against these people IBB, OBJ, orji kalu, tinubu and BUHARI alike.

In all these people, none has been convicted in any court of law but you chose to exonerate BUHARI and condemn others and my question remains, WHY?!

What are you saying? read what you wrote again.

IBB and OBJ belongs to the same party, they are best of friends and were friends when they were in military camp, you think OBJ is sick enough to do anything to IBB? now picture this, have you ever seen Buhari and IBB together playing or joking or in a function before?

Have you ever seen OBJ and Buhari in a fuction before?

why?

Because Buhari never has any political or social connection with these 2 ultra-criminals.

OBJ = JEG'S GODFATHER
IBB = JEG'S ROLEMODEL

so tell me, how do you expect him to send them to jail? the only one capable of doing this is in the opposition and the PDP and foolish Nigerians who voted them in are doing everything possible to shut those who can help this nation out.

You asked why JEG didn't jail OBJ, are you insane? (a question o), don't you know OBJ is the genesis of JEG's political life? can a dog send his master on an errand? infact i don't even know why i am typing this because you are too un-informed to understand, but then if i let you be, you're likely to infect the younger ones around you.

Now reducing every thing to party affiliations makes your post very weak because people from the same party kill themselves let alone jailing.

I told you i'd be wooping ya axe! You shoulda gone to sleep when I advised you to.

Drunk fisherman and terrorist are both the same thing.. Phuck the both of 'em.

U guys are still on these Buhari matter. Like I said he is the most talked about opposition figure in Nigeria, one who makes the almighty PDP tremble. And that makes him thick. Good night guys

Obj hv started again. He want to rubbish Buhari, Buhari shine ur eyes o, Obj hv a way of killing ppl while dey are still living

[size=13pt]Major-General Buhari was selected to lead the country by middle and high-ranking military officers after a successful military coup d'etat that overthrew civilian President Shehu Shagari on December 31, 1983.

At the time, Buhari was head of the Third Armored Division of Jos. Buhari was appointed Head of State and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, and Tunde Idiagbon was appointed Chief of General Staff (the de facto No. 2 in the administration). Buhari justified the military's seizure of power by castigating the civilian government as hopelessly corrupt.[/size]





[size=18pt]General Buhari's Maiden Speech: - 1st January 1984[/size]

In pursuance of the primary objective of saving our great nation from total collapse, I, Major-General Muhammadu Buhari of the Nigerian army have, after due consultation amongst the services of the armed forces, been formally invested with the authority of the Head of the Federal Military Government and the Commander-in-Chief of the armed forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. It is with humility and a deep sense of responsibility that I accept this challenge and call to national duty.



As you must have heard in the previous announcement, the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (1979) has been suspended, except those sections of it which are exempted in the constitution.The change became necessary in order to put an end to the serious economic predicament and the crisis of confidence now afflicting our nation. Consequently, the Nigerian armed forces have constituted themselves into a Federal Military Government comprising of a Supreme Military Council, a National Council of States, a Federal Executive Council at the centre and State Executive Councils to be presided over by military governors in each of the states of the federation. Members of these councils will be announced soon.The last Federal Military Government drew up a programme with the aim of handing over political power to the civilians in 1979. This programme as you all know, was implemented to the letter. The 1979 constitution was promulgated. However, little did the military realise that the political leadership of the second republic will circumvent most of the checks and balances in the constitution and bring the present state of general insecurity. The premium on political power became so exceedingly high that political contestants regarded victory at elections as a matter of life and death struggle and were determined to capture or retain power by all means.



It is true that there is a worldwide economic recession. However, in the case of Nigeria, its impact was aggravated by mismanagement. We believe the appropriate government agencies have good advice but the leadership disregarded their advice. The situation could have been avoided if the legislators were alive to their constitutional responsibilities; Instead, the legislators were preoccupied with determining their salary scales, fringe benefit and unnecessary foreign travels, et al, which took no account of the state of the economy and the welfare of the people they represented. As a result of our inability to cultivate financial discipline and prudent management of the economy, we have come to depend largely on internal and external borrowing to execute government projects with attendant domestic pressure and soaring external debts, thus aggravating the propensity of the outgoing civilian administration to mismanage our financial resources. Nigeria was already condemned perpetually with the twin problem of heavy budget deficits and weak balance of payments position, with the prospect of building a virile and viable economy.




The last general election was anything but free and fair. The only political parties that could complain of election rigging are those parties that lacked the resources to rig. There is ample evidence that rigging and thuggery were relative to the resources available to the parties. This conclusively proved to us that the parties have not developed confidence in the presidential system of government on which the nation invested so much material and human resources.While corruption and indiscipline have been associated with our state of under-development, these two evils in our body politic have attained unprecedented height in the past few years. The corrupt, inept and insensitive leadership in the last four years has been the source of immorality and impropriety in our society. Since what happens in any society is largely a reflection of the leadership of that society, we deplore corruption in all its facets. This government will not tolerate kick-backs, inflation of contracts and over-invoicing of imports etc. Nor will it condone forgery, fraud, embezzlement, misuse and abuse of office and illegal dealings in foreign exchange and smuggling.



Arson has been used to cover up fraudulent acts in public institutions. I am referring to the fire incidents that gutted the P&T buildings in Lagos, the Anambra State Broadcasting Corporation, the Republic Building at Marina, the Federal Ministry of Education, the Federal Capital Development Authority Accounts at Abuja and the NET Building. Most of these fire incidents occurred at a time when Nigerians were being apprehensive of the frequency of fraud scandals and the government incapacity to deal with them. Corruption has become so pervasive and intractable that a whole ministry has been created to stem it.



Fellow Nigerians, this indeed is the moment of truth. My colleagues and I – the Supreme Military Council, must be frank enough to acknowledge the fact that at the moment, an accurate picture of the financial position is yet to be determined. We have no doubt that the situation is bad enough. In spite of all this, every effort will be made to ensure that the difficult and degrading conditions under which we are living are eliminated. Let no one however be deceived that workers who have not received their salaries in the past eight or so months will receive such salaries within today or tomorrow or that hospitals which have been without drugs for months will be provided with enough immediately.We are determined that with the help of God we shall do our best to settle genuine payments to which government is committed, including backlog of workers’ salaries after scrutiny. We are confident and we assure you that even in the face of the global recession, and the seemingly gloomy financial future, given prudent management of Nigeria’s existing financial resources and our determination to substantially reduce and eventually nail down rises in budgetary deficits and weak balance of payments position.The Federal Military Government will reappraise policies with a view to paying greater attention to the following areas:



The economy will be given a new impetus and better sense of direction.
Corrupt officials and their agents will be brought to book.
In view of the drought that affected most parts of the country, the federal government will, with the available resources, import food stuffs to supplement the shortfalls suffered in the last harvest.
Our foreign policy will both be dynamic and realistic. Africa will of course continue to be the centre piece of our foreign policy. The morale and combat readiness of the armed forces will be given high priority. Officers and men with high personal and professional integrity will have nothing to fear.



The Chief Justice of Nigeria and all other holders of judiciary appointments within the federation can continue in their appointments and the judiciary shall continue to function under existing laws subject to such exceptions as may e decreed from time to time by the Federal Military Government. All holders of appointments in the civil service, the police and the National Security Organisation shall continue to exercise their functions in the normal way subject to changes that may be introduced by the Federal Military Government. All those chairmen and members of statutory corporations, parastatals and other executive departments are hereby relieved of their appointments with immediate effect.



The Federal Military Government will maintain and strengthen existing diplomatic relations with other states and with international organisations and institutions such as the Organisation of African Unity, the United Nations and its organs, Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries, ECOWAS and the Commonwealth etc. The Federal Military Government will honour and respect all treaties and obligations entered into by the previous government and we hope that such nations and bodies will reciprocate this gesture by respecting our country’s territorial integrity and sovereignty.




Fellow Nigerians, finally, we have dutifully intervened to save this nation from imminent collapse. We therefore expect all Nigerians, including those who participated directly or indirectly in bringing the nation to this present predicament, to cooperate with us. This generation of Nigerians, and indeed future generations, have no country other than Nigeria. We shall remain here and salvage it together.

May God bless us all. Good morning.

Nineteen military governors were formally appointed by the new Head of State, Major-General Mohammed Buhari, and other members of the country's Supreme Military Council (SMC) in Lagos on January 4 to run Nigeria's federal states.

General Buhari attended the official swearing-in ceremony, which came four days after he led a bloodless coup ousting former President Shehu Shagari.

Speaking at the ceremony, Buhari reminded his new governors of their duties.All were chosen, he said, for their ability to discharge their responsibilities in the best interests of the country.He went on to warn them that crime and corruption for personal gain, one reason for the coup, would be ruthlessly punished.

General Buhari added the corruption and hoarding in the private sector would not be tolerated.He ended his speech by telling the assembled governors they were answerable to the country's military chiefs of staff and subject to redeployment at any time.

All former state governors have been given a week to report to police.

General Buhari has pledged to revive the country's economy and also to end the armed robberies in major cities that have become commonplace in the last few years.The fate of former top officials in the Shagari administration is still to be decided by the new military government, and Shagari himself is being held in custody.

[size=18pt]BUHARI OUTLINES NEW SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC POLICIES AND CRITICISES PREVIOUS GOVERNMENT.[/size]

Nigeria's new leader, General Mohammed Buhari, outlined his social and economic policies on January 5.Speaking at his first news conference five days after assuming power in a bloodless coup, the general said priority would be given to clearing the backlog of foreign debt while improving the lot of the ordinary people.

He confirmed that his government would pursue negotiations for a 2.5 billion US dollar loan from the IMF (International Monetary Fund), started by the ousted civilian government of President Shehu Shagari.He said the money was needed to bail Nigeria out of a severe economic crisis caused by a slump in the country's main export, oil. About 90 per cent of Nigeria's foreign earnings come from oil.

Earlier, General Buhari said economic mismanagement had prompted his takeover, and that Nigerians had to watch helplessly as President Shagari's government mishandled the economic crisis, causing high inflation.He said promised economic improvements were applied inadequately and imported food supplies to supplement domestic output were hoarded by corrupt officials or sold at very high prices.

General Buhari also condemned the previous system of import licenses, allotted, he said, by favour, and not to the manufacturers and genuine importers who needed them.He said the people had been misled by the government and criticised it for failing to deal firmly with rising crime.

General Buhari has also confirmed that Nigeria would remain a member of OPEC (Organisation of Petroleum Export Countries)
