Against Babangida.com Website

Well that is very creative. But I'm afraid they might actually be giving Babangida free publicity and it can lead him and his supporters to think that he is relevant.

wow. babangida is still alive? he shouldn't be president.

In fact, they should stone him to death if dares come out to campaign!

Knowing how politics is run in Nigeria....Kazey seriously,truthfully,do you think the vote of the average Nigerian matters in this?

We can only pray that the people at the helm of affairs in these political parties don't appoint him as their flagbearer(if oju kokoro will allow them to).......or God does HIS wonders when the time is ripe!.......I believe,it's up to Him now.

hum but Babangida himself hasnt said a word. So what's up with us Nigerians??

i don't believe the website is a joke, and i am happy nigerians are doing this.  i read in the guardian not too long ago that a british paper (Daily Telegraph?) reported that past nigerian leaders stole 222 billion pounds which equates to about 300 years worth of aid from UK to the whole of Africa.  The article mentions Abacha but does not mention Babangida and all the past head of states that are still alive.

It is sad that our press and publicity today speak loud against Abacha and Obasanjo but are rather lukewarm about Babangida, the most dangerous man walking the streets of nigeria free. infact, i am scared some people are tracking these posts, i just wonder.

some people say every nigerian has a right to contest.  Well, maybe.  But i believe every nigerian should be emotional about our dear country. i love nigeria with all my heart unconditionally.  i am not happy when people do or plan to make it worse.  People suffer, the children who have no sin that roam the streets begging, dying....

we owe ourselves, we owe the children of tomorrow, our children,  the right to smile, the right to minimum joy, the right to the basic things of life.  Obasanjo is a single man born one, same with Babangida, same with you, same with me.  All mean are equal, and we can equally make a change.

Let us stop this man!

Babangida's monetary wealth is probably equivalent to the gross domestic product of several African nations put together.  His influence will therefore continue to be a force of nature in Nigerian politics, and cannot be deemed irrelevant due to the passage of time since he vacated the post as the country's military ruler. 

While the self-styled "Evil Genius" may not present himself as a candidate for elective office in Nigeria's near future, it is safe to assume that retired General Babangida will continue to project his power silently and away from the newspaper headlines, with reverberations felt all the way to the presidency.

What can we do to make sure IBB don't rule us again?

Well we can have an open corupt leader at least you know he will steal, the snake like IBB is the one you need to watch out for. they still havent found one ounce of evidence that he loot money from Nigeria, my question is it because him and EFCC CHAIRMAN ARE from same state. there is an old adage is better to stay with the devil you know.

Are you for real? where you in Nigeria during his regime? I was very furtunate to meet his son Muhammad. there is no way IBB didn't loot and his son can spend the way he does.

"Every single Nigerian citizen, has the freedom to vote and be voted for. Its not for us to say who should and shouldnt come out to contest for presidency. We can react by not voting for that person. Saying that that person should not contest, is totally absurd."

Maybe IBB didnt even take a penny .  I still believe our prayers should be directed towards having a priest as a president. Shoot for the moon, and if you miss it you would find yourself among the stars  not as it is, but point gotten i suppose.

hum but Babangida himself hasnt said a word. So what's up with us Nigerians??

Kazey Whatz up with you and babangida? I read all your responses and it seems to be you are one of his ........We all know this hasnot and will not work in Nigeria. "totally absurd"?

Nice thread Seun. I love the siteespecially with the list of selfish people supporting IBB. And everyone of them will be purnished by the wrath of God. As someone said somewhere on this thread that IBB should be stoned, BUT the masses will not do that instead they will be killing themselves calling it riot. As they say "YOUTHS ARE THE LEADERS OF TOMOOROW"   then we need to mark down drastic interventions to mark them down and wipe them out, not just IBB but other ota (enemies) masses. Poor masses are dying everyday yet these cruel people are still breathing happily, something must be done but we all have to join hands and start somewhere.

Thanks,  Even though my parents and family are proficient in Nigeria, but we can not turn our eyes to what we read in the news daily. I have been out of Nigeria for over 15 years, and every time I go back home it's shocking to see how local people are suffering. people are not supposed to be in poverty as they are in Nigeria today if only all the country wealth is diverted to the rural development projects. Some of us will agree this is an epidemic and some will just turn their cheeks as long as they are not affected. we must raise the youth awareness.

you are right, you can never underestimate the power of words. this is an extract from a newspaper i was reading online  "The question of whether or not Babangida should be allowed to contest the Nigerian presidency in 2007 goes beyond the individual right to vote.   Babangida has blantant disregard for, and has, in fact, violated the Nigerian constitution in the many years of his misrule. If the rule of law had not been usurped by the privileged in Nigeria, Babangida would have been living his days behind bars, for his many criminal violations. "

Anyone looking for "proof" that Obongida stole money will have better luck searching for a chicken in a business suit with a full set of gleaming polished canine teeth.  A sizeable chunk of the money that finds its way into the offshore bank accounts of heads of state is deposited outside Nigeria by companies seeking contracts in Nigeria. That money is never reflected on any auditor's balance sheet or budget allocation.

Additionally, flotillas of giant super tanker "ghost" ships leave the Niger Delta with millions of barrels of crude oil that were "omitted" from any book-keeping regime within Nigeria, with the payment for all that black gold finding its way into designated accounts belonging to members of the powers that be, never to be seen until it is lavished on private extravagances and palatial real estate in Europe, the US and the Middle East
