I know buhari is a man of his words so i am sure he will do all he has promised, including stablizing global oil prices.

This is because :

Buhari came out publicly and said he wont contest again, and has kept his promise in 2015.

Buhari said his documents arr with the military board, were they there?

If someone else ordered that the 53 suitcases should not be searched under buhari's regime, that person would have been sentenced to death by buhari.

Buhari said abacha did not steal. did abacha steal?

What happened to the womans position,was she sacked or not? Am sure u r expecting GEJ to just throw her into jail abi?

Those who ignore history are destined to repeat it.

This documentary detailed who the real Buhari and who we have been screaming about here on nairaland.

I don't know if you are fatherless or if you have one, if your father was both educated and politically savvy during Buhar's military regime, I would have suggested you consult him.

mcsnup:
we are not ignoring history, we have watch, read, heard and learnt...and giving the prevailing stealing and corruption in and of the highest order, We have chosen not to repeat history (Jonathan, pdp and Tan) by the way, thanks for the advice.

RevDesmondJuju:
All this anti corruption rhetoric coming from the north and southwest is highly hypocritical.

The north dominated leadership positions after the civil war with Yorubas occupying strategic bureaucratic roles. Corruption began its endemic rise under this duo.

For the southwest to shout corruption now is also highly hypocritical for the fact that their own region is dominated by crooks and thieves. Charity does not seem to be in their dictionary because if the northern leadership they so desire can not fix their own backyard or they can not stem corruption but celebrate it with people like Asiwaju enjoying patronage and respect how dare they speak of making Nigeria better?

From what I understand with this Buhari nonsense Yorubas who support Buhari do this for the following reason:

1. Fanatical Yoruba Muslims. There is such a thing if you don't know as fanatical Yoruba Muslims and it is growing by the day. Visit any tertiary institution and you will see them venting their by force religiousity for all to see. This group is swayed more by Jonathan's alliance with Israel. They are vast majority here on nairaland.

2. Yorubas want a piece of the action. By claiming opposition, Tinubu built his empire. Tinubu is now set to take on bigger challenges at the national level given that most of the SW states other than Lagos and Ondo have been milked dry. With this alliance Tinubu hopes to springboard to the national level where the pickings are juicier. Most of his followers will natural follow him.

3. Yorubas feeling like kingmakers. They feel irrelevant and dispensable in a Goodluck govt. Jonathan has matched any brain they have with that double their capacity from the southeast. It feels like 1960 again when they had to fight and compete with the more competent igbos. An Ab0ki alliance will naturally see a smooth sailing to the top. To make matters worse they have no bargaining power. The SouthSouth has oil and are ready to use it to negotiate, the north has a solid disciplined political bloc. These are things the southwest does not have other than AMALA styled confusion trouble rousing politics.

4. They are gambling for a Buhari death if he ever got elected. They some how think they were instrumental to Goodluck's emergence not knowing that the Niger Delta was set to restart their insurgency if the constitution is not adhered to. An Osinbanjo accidental presidency will never happen because the north will demand for bi elections . The other regions will support this especially the Igbos. This will see the north choose an Igbo vp leaving the southwest in the cold. If Osinbanjo opposes this he will simply be given the shonekan treatment and not a damn thing will happen.

Why didnt he deport d fulanis frm niger too?

"15th April 1985, Buhari announced the deportation of more than 700,000 foreigners"

Emphasis was just laid on Ghana and other west African countries because they were the most affected due to their population in Nigeria at that time.

Listen and analyze carefully before you talk.

Keep your sentiments aside also.

menice69:
UK I can agree u are likely to be deported easily,but d US! no no.They have a lot of illegal immigrant still walking freely.U are safe once u don't break laws in the US.UK is a small country,dat's y they protect d little they have.Nigeria isn't a small country

Between Nigeria and USA which country would illegal immigrants affect more. You should see the deportation as something good. Imagine the way things are hard in Nigeria, everyone hustling to survive, imagine if they were still here, how would things be? Put reproduction into consideration, they would be twice if not thrice as more.

adenine02:

bros no offence
it all depend on what u belive
abt d WTC: do u realy think some grup of Al qaeda boy lead by a man in afganistan can can hijack 4 comacial planes in d most secured country in d world and use two of dis planes to bring down 3 strong buildings build with concrate and steel?
And to boko haram dis guys av bin operating for 5yrs dislogging d the strong military force in Africa?
A militry force dt av saved other countries?
B4 u responds bro:
ther is alway a conspiracy theory to every happening, try and make reserch on d conspiracy of d WTC/911 and Nigerian boko haram, xplore sites and videos on utube.
Shalom.

kingslly:
Nyc one bro,u get sense.GEJ is using logical and reasonable means to fight corruption for eg IPPIS in d civil service while most GMB fans are expecting a ruthless leader who will come and throw everyone he thinks is corrupt into jail without realising that that's not what we need right now. buhari fans shuld make some enquiries about IPPIS and other steps made by GEJ to stabilise our economy and fight corruption. GEJ is just slow and steady and slow and steady wins d race!.....GEJ2015

DobleO7:



Mr man! You mean Buhari wants the Federal Government to treat Boko haram as the Niger Delta militants were treated?
Now since you seem to know much about Buhari and Boko haram, my question is what are the Boko haram fighting for?

leo2020:
PDP is really struggling..i pity them indeed..it has gone to d level of campaigning with Fela's music..


still... GMB 4 change

fortran12:

Maybe only in Nigerian universities you can quote Wikipedia, but outside Nigeria, am sorry you are on your own.

mekaboy:
1) Sentencing a mother of 2 children to death by firing squad to me is not cool.

2)jailing fella for foriegn currency while allowing 53 suitcases is not cool for me.

3) supporting and comapring bokoharam terrorists with mend is not cool. turning arround to accuse the president of lacking the will to crush the group u sympathize with is not cool.

4) The hatred ghananians have for nigerians today was caused by buhari.

For almost about one hour or more, eyes were glued to AIT yesterday and I must confess that PDP has really tried in their campaign against the opposition. After so many shots, this looks like one final lethal blow, except of course they are not done. Who can blame them? They have enriched themselves well enough to afford the airtime.

So that aside, let's react to the gist they threw in our faces yesterday. I'd give my honest opinion by listing the (1) Bad things he did (2) Good things that he did but have been painted in a bad light (3) Good things he actually did.

Bad things

1) Jailing some 'alleged' innocent politicians.
2) Jailing journalists and activists based on a decree he enacted.
3) Stepping on human rights in a bid to enforce change. No freedom of speech. Strikes were disallowed. Unions (like NMA, NANS) were proscribed.
4) Pardoning Shehu Shagari (his former boss) as he kept him in house arrest while he jailed others.
5) Suspension of the rail project (which I later found out was due to the fact that the money being used for the project was being borrowed and he was bent on paying off Nigeria's debt)
6) Disallowing Monarchs from travelling outside the country, an act many saw as a disrespect to traditional customs.
7) Chasing away illegal immigrants. The same is still done in developed countries though. You can't just reside in places like UK, US... without formal documentations and stuff.

.(± feel free to add & subtract)

Summary: His brief military regime was a draconian rule that made life hot for many.

Good things painted bad

1) WAI: Enforcing discipline with regards to work, sanitation, conduct on roads. This was done the military way and swept Nigerians off their comfort zone.
2) His statement (as the commentary claimed to quote him, as there was actually no video of him saying that) that FG should stop killing his people (northerners) and that instead Boko Haram militants could be given amnesty like the Niger delta militants. Hold on, before you judge at surface value. Reports from Amnesty International and the satellite images that showed the devastation in Baga have collectively proved to us one thing: our soldiers killed thousands of innocent northern dwellers (some in very horrific ways) in the name of fighting insurgency. That was why US raised eyebrows about human rights violation in the North if you can still recall. So Buhari probably has a point but unfortunately the amnesty program that the FG tried didn't work. What he said, he said in good faith.
3) Attempted extradition of Umaru Dikko, one of Nigeria's most corrupt politicians as at then. The PDP in their documentary successfully painted the hilarious method through which Dikko was packaged in a suitcase that was labelled with a diplomatic pass..lol..and the embarrassment attached to the story, but here's the thing they never said...Umaru Dikko deserved to be jailed like the other thieves in his time. People steal little things and get punished severely, some even die. A public official steals billions and you empathise with him when he should have gotten a much more severe punishment. That says a lot in comparison about our justice system today.
4) Drug traffickers were killed. I don't even know why PDP are lamenting about this. In Ghana today, robbery attracts a death penalty and trust me, this law has reduced criminality there. In China, if a politician is caught looting funds or getting involved in any form of corruption, he or she will be executed. My opinion is simple, if you can't do without stealing or going against the law of the land, you can leave. You have nothing to fear if your hands are clean. PDP is simply appealing to the desire in people to be free to do as they like without laws to guide them, but we must not forget that unguided freedom comes at a cost.......CRIME!

Summary: He came to unsettle Nigerians from their relative comfort zones of indiscipline (@public places) and laziness (@work).... and this didn't really go down well with many people. Strict legislation dominates his idea of effective and progressive governance.

Good things

1) Jailing corrupt politicians. That's a good thing for me except you're happy when people embezzle public funds.
2) Eradication of Jihadist group (Maitatsine). We've heard that several times but a few times from his critics.

Other good things they didn't mention in the video

3) 1 dollar = 2 naira... which sparked some irritation from the West. The oyinbos felt it was annoying for the currency of a black nation to be that strong. Foreign politics played a role in his removal later on, for obvious reasons.
4) Cleared the debts of the nation and refused to borrow from IMF despite serious urging from the external community. Part of the reason the rail project was 'suspended'.
5) Nigeria was processing her crude oil...and the price was stable.
6) He's a plain person that does what he says (good or evil). I'd rather deal with plain people than the hypocrites in the incumbent government. Even his political opponents can't take that away from him.

.(± feel free to add & subtract)

Summary: He ruled roughly for about one and a half years and his major approach to transforming Nigeria from the state that the corrupt leadership of Shagari left it, was through laws. He believed that a lawless nation where people are just allowed to litter the streets, treat work with levity, loot public funds...etc., could not move forward.

That's my analysis. .(± feel free to add & subtract)

golddeejay:
been sacked is the punishment for stealing public fund...that is why we are where we are. The mentality is "steal big, the worst case scenerio is u will be sacked and u go and enjoy ur loot". What happened to been tried and jailed if found quity.

Someone asked me this same question

Here was my reply;

https://www.nairaland.com/2115987/pdp-sponsored-documentary-buhari-analysis/3#30179386

Just read my previous posts and see the discussion.

great664:
you are right Bro, I have read so many conspiracy theories about Boko Haram and WTC too we know its an inside job, my take is don't blame it on the President

MAYOWAAK:
The producers of the revisionism called documentary could not even get basic facts right. Shehu Kangiwa,the 2nd republic governor of Sokoto state died after falling from a horse during a polo game in 1981 but the film makers have twisted this historical fact by stating Buhari protected him from prosecution when he came to power in December 1983 because he was Hausa-Fulani like Buhari!

felifeli:


This man is a dunce. Obviously you are too young to make these comments. Go and ask you father or uncle for advice before you come here to talk nonsense. In a sane country people like Buhari should be ashamed to speak anymore , but see he is running for president and a lot of brain dead idiuts are saluting.

Heil Buhari
