So why did he apply for extradition only after his kidnap attempt failed? Believe me, even I would have 'looked the other way' if he had done The right thing by applying first, was denied and then attempted the kidnap. The point is that the choices a man eventually makes are a direct reflection Of the way his mind works. This man's mind works in reverse so he is not forward Thinking else why is an unrepentant coupist hell bent on enjoying democracy? dannjo: |

emiye: Stop trying to be clever by half by comparing Nigeria with Zimbabwe and Burkina Faso. Why not mention Senegal? Namibia? Botswana? Haven't they progressed as democracies too? You justify the removal of Shagari due to corruption. Does that also apply to the state governors? How many state governors were corrupt? Jakande? Mbakwe? Ajasin? Onabanjo? Aku? Okilo? How many of these governors were corrupt? Why were they also kicked out? 2 Likes |

A truly remarkable fellow!... Introduction to Buhari APC's Fresidential Crrrrrandidate Question: How will you grow Nigeria's economy? "I will stabilise the WORLD OIL MARKET, because that is quicker to do than agriculture etc" - Buhari (Channels TV) Question: How will you secure the Nigerian economy from oil price fluctuations? Buhari: "I will use the AIR FORCE, NAVY and ARMY" - Buhari (ThisDay) Question: Sir, can you say "up APC?" Buhari: "OFF AFEECEE! OFF AFEECEE!! OFF AFEECEE!!!" - Buhari (In the near future) |

HNosegbe: No Sir! Because the instability that would ensue from such coup would worsen the situation in the NE (the Mali situation)! Secondly, We lack enough Military Cohesion to sustain a violent Regime change today! Thirdly, with worsening Economic situation for the country, Western Sanctions would be disastrous for us! Fourthly, the Political Landscape appears Matured enough to effect a peaceful change(if PDP and APC pull this off, they'll go into history as setting the foundations of a Democratic Nigeria)! So no Sir! I wouldn't support a Coup in Nigeria today, but would probably have supported one in the 1960s, 70s and 80s because I saw Egypt, Brazil, Argentina, Libya, etc move forward under military regimes then! |

MansaMoussa: i love this. Democracy isnt prefect and somtyms real positive CHANGE could mean ousting democracy. Open mindedly speaking. while the use of armed force isnt encouraged in any form history has shown that it might be necessary sometyms n it doesnt not always have a negative consequence. besides nothing stops Nigeria from forming her own unique system of government especiallt our unique n peculiar ethno-religious diversity and challenges especially tribalism dat has sunk deep into our mentality. |

HNosegbe: Dont miscontrue me, what i meant is there is no guarantee that sustained democracy would have helped the Nigerian state. I took a cursory study of african states, there are 53+ of them, and i discovered that most of the head of the democracies of those period became dictatorial as time progresses and with crude might tried to convert the country to One party state, using the other arms of government like the legislature and judiciary. The 1983 elections was worse off and a greater disaster than the 1979 elections, and UPN Ajasin was rigged off in 1983 for NPN Omoboriowo, Bola Ige of UPN was rigged off for NPN Olunloyo, ....., NPN was drowning UPN , and that Shagari government with majority in the house would most likely have manipulated the constitution to remove term limits before the 1987 elections, that was the trend of that era. Even OBJ tried to achieve term elongation. I am sorry to mentioned only two cases in Africa, there are close to 20 something cases in Africa. |

Seun: The concept of "democracy" is so soo overhyped, like its the most perfect human invention ever. The current so called democracy being run by PDP is more of an autocracy. It was widely acclaimed that the then civilian government of shagari was so bleeped up, that it has been likened to what is presently happening under GEJ. There are some times life per chance bestows strict, stingy and highly disciplined parents on some children, and more than 90% of the time those kids eventually grow up to be responsible and successful members of the society (am talking metaphorically here), even though those kids might hate their parents while growing up. Corruption is a cancer than must be removed in anyway possible so that the whole body won't suffer. Whether by chemotheraphy or by surgical removal, both methods are pleasant but they are effective. 1 Like |

berrystunn: Beasts of No Nation: Beast of No Nation is the first song Fela wrote in 1986, for buhari after he was liberated from prison Otherwise, what name can one give a world with: police brutality, army oppression, courts without justice, magistrates who are supposed to uphold the law, obviously seen bending the law to please some special interest. As further proof of the craze world, he sings about the judge who sent him to jail for five years on a trumped up charge, only for the same judge to visit Fela in a prison hospital two years after. The judge apologized, claiming he was under pressure from the government to convict. This could only happen in a Craze World, Fela reasons. |

emiye:It takes patience to whip up the perfect democracy. When you ensure that the masses are the ultimate deciders of their fate and destiny, democratic institutions are reenforced over and over again. That's the secret behind the success of western style democracy. They didn't always have it rosy but the electorate remained the ultimate decider. Buhari stole that from us with with his coup in '83. He set us several steps backwards. He should apologise. |

MansaMoussa: While I agree that it is possible to progress as a country under military rule, I disagree with the examples you gave - a better example would be South Korea under General Park Chung-Hee. That said, the major issue with military regimes, like all non-democratic regimes, is that it depends on the magnanimity of whoever happens to be in charge of the country at the time. Yes a country can progress under military rule like South Korea did, but what do you do when the military ruler ends up like Mobutu? Any attempt to change such a leader, or indeed even to register a tinge of discontent, would be crushed with overwhelmingly brutal force. The unfortunate truth is that military regimes in Nigeria have given us more Mobutus than Parks. To further illustrate the above point, ask yourself if Nigeria would have had the misfortune of being misgoverned by the likes of IBB and Abacha had the 1983 coup not taken place. The Second Republic was extremely corrupt, yes I agree. But Buhari and the military should have left us the Nigerian people to sort out the mess ourselves. I repeat, the coup was a tragic mistake. 1 Like |

Oga Seun God bless you for this! I'm very much sure some people are blinded by this man's innocent look. The major questions I want to ask are: How many Hausa or Fulani people were tried and jailed after the coup? Why was the corrupt president placed under house arrest while his vice was placed behind Kiri kiri bars? Why were there majorly Yoruba and Igbo placed behind bars? Does it mean the Hausa and Fulani people were not corrupt? Why did Buhari jail Pa Adekunle Ajasin after multiple trial in which he wasn't found guilty? Does this make any sense? And people say this man is not an extremist! |
