madjune: Lol, you mean that the job losses from closing Radio Nigeria branches in several state capitals was due to banning import? When govt critics working in broadcasting were targeted for sacking was also due to prohibition of imports? Lol. Buhari did not get bad name for fighting corruption. It was the biased and bigoted way he went about it, jailing Christians/Southerners like Pa Ajasin, Dr Ekwueme, Aper Aku, Prof. Ali, Bola Ige, Jakande. Almost all with nothing against them. Shagari was in an Ikoyi mansion. No single Hausa Fulani was jailed. Remember "driver get accident, conductor get punishment" song by Fela? In any case, a coupist who committed high treason (an offence punishable with death penalty) against his country by overthrowing a civilian govt has no name to protect. Crating of Dr Dikko was over a personal grudge that every knows about: (1) tracing 2.8 billion that Buhari stole as oil minister to a London account. (2) Dikko suspecting Buhari as a coup threat pressured Shagari to "exile" Buhari to Jos as GOC, far away from Lagos & Ibadan key military commands. People who took up farming were sacked civil servants, some were level 12, 14 with 8 kids to feed. They had no choice. I saw it happen. Essenco was mostly 1984 to 1986. 1 Like |

AreaFada2: Some of you just flow with the current without knowing what started it. In other words, you want to say the hackneyed opinion that he gagged the press. Do you know what led to that sort of reaction towards some set of the press? It's because Buhari went hard against drug couriers whom some elements in the military alongside MKO backed...and after, much warning, he resorted to capital punishment to scare them stiff. Some people weren't happy. MKO wasn't happy. And you know he had a good influence over the western media which set the tone of discourse then. And the press attacked whom the controlled paid editors felt should be attacked. On your "he jailed southerners and left northerners" Its time to clear your heart of bias- There are facts you may not know- As a civilian vice president, ekwueme somehow mysteriously built a brewery in his naative town of oko, ursurped money from his office and built the MODOTEL chain of hotels in the east. Now, these begged for investigation. And these, amongst others was why he was locked up. Ambrose Ali, Aper Aku and Pa Ajasin were not entirely innocent. They used up money from their office to fund their parties. Wrong. I must admit, they didn't use the monies for themselves. Did you know that Mohammed Goni was jailed too? He ws from the north. You remember Taatari Ali? He was jailed too. And Barkin Zuwo? Plssss. You guys need to read more or ask the older folks more questions than coming up here to spew uninformed biased lines. SMH. |

Omooba77:There is nothing so bad, so misleading and so naïve than when an ignorant person purports to make an argument out of an issue that is beyond his level of reasoning. This is what the O.P just did with his post on the number of years GEJ has spent in office. We can always forgive him because of one thing- his was plainly ignorant as he couldn't grasp the gist of his assertion. The presidency is an institution in NIgeria. In fact it is the foremost executive institution in the country. Our constitution stipulates that the president is the leader of the executive arm of government which is also reffered to as the presidency. The relevant sections of the constitution also did stipulates that the vice president should act on the absense of the president or any other time he couldn't perform his official duties. The verb 'act' needs a little clarification here as it is misleading when subjected to its everyday uses. Acting, therefore, within the context of our constitution simply means whenever the president for some reasons couldn't perform his official duties. The acts of the acting president is legally valid as he is now the leader of the presidency which is the foremost executive body in the country. The bills he signed into power are seen as the laws of the country even when the president resumed his duties later on. But in our case, the late yaradua never did. GEJ was quickly sworn in as the president and picked Sambo when yaradua died. He stayed in office till the last general election was conducted which he won convincingly to become the president. In summary, GEJ has spent more than four years in office so 0P learn how to get your facts before you run and post unintelligent post on a public forum like this. |

Do not justify GEJ's performance here. He has not created a conducive environment to attract investors. For example, we are still experiencing power issues when he allowed a man who would have transformed the power sector to resign thereby taking us back to darkness. He tried a bit but he didn't do enough. He showed Nigerians that integrity doesn't work in a corrupt system like Nigeria, that is why political crooks are exonerated. In as much as I criticize GEJ, I still do not fancy GMB coming in because he seems like a tribalistic bigot, so don't take me for an APC slave. By the way, I'm hustling, that's why I am not using guns presently to rob people on the streets neither am I a fraudstar.. At least, I can feed myself daily till I get a job. Frankiss44: Try me ma'am, show me the job and see me become a millionaire in less than 3 years. sanc2s: If I were lazy, I would have wasted my degree years and graduated with a pass degree but I guess I was hardworking enough to top my department on several ocassions in a difficult educational system like ABU and one of the most difficult Engineering departments in Nigeria. The problems with you PDP/APC slaves is that you hate the truth and u aggressively insult yourselves as if you're all political thugs. You don't even know me, yet you call me a lazy person. #spits.. ZUBY77: Of course I will.. mecusbosco: POLITICAL THUG uchesino: I understand where you are heading but please picture this scenario; everybody in Nigeria is free to do whatever s/he wants. There are many scam agencies out there duping people and nothing is done about it. Mind you, the truth is that GEJ tried too hard to please people that will never support him. The rest is left for you to figure because I can't give you details. chidi01: E go so make brain oh! Since him give crook presidential pardon, e go make sense make him give good citizen like me presidential job. Abi wetin you feel/think? Xfemt: Oga Chynobeat, I get good songs way I write oh.. Wetin you feel, make we produce them..? LoL Are you in any way connected to the Chinese people? You just used China as an example and also have Chyno in your moniker. By the way, I appreciate your response unlike some insulting thugs.
