IBB, oloriburuku of the highest order. May the blood of Nigerians that died during June 12 struggle and that of Nigerians that perished while hustling escape your tyranny and the society you helped turn upside down chase you into your grave. I could see you are already loosing control of your mouth. The coming revolution will put you where you and corrupt political.class belong. 2 Likes |

babangida is better Dan buhari both during military and civilians rule of buhari. Human rights According to Decree Number 2 of 1984, the state security and the chief of staff were given the power to detain, without charges, individuals deemed to be a security risk to the state for up to three months. [55] Strikes and popular demonstrations were banned and Nigeria's security agency, the National Security Organization (NSO) was entrusted with unprecedented powers. The NSO played a wide role in the cracking down of public dissent by intimidating, harassing and jailing individuals who broke the interdiction on strikes. By October 1984, about 200,000 civil servants were retrenched. [56] The regime also jailed its critics, as in the case of Nigeria's most popular artist and one time presidential contender, afro-beat singer Fela Kuti.[57] He was arrested on 4 September 1984 at the airport as he was about to embark on an American tour. Amnesty International described the charges brought against him for illegally exporting foreign currency as "spurious". Using the wide powers bestowed upon it by Decree Number 2, the government sentenced Fela to five years in prison. He was released after 18 months, [57] when the Buhari government was toppled in a coup d'état . In 1984, Buhari passed Decree Number 4, the Protection Against False Accusations Decree, [58] considered by scholars as the most repressive press law ever enacted in Nigeria. [59] Section 1 of the law provided that "Any person who publishes in any form, whether written or otherwise, any message, rumour, report or statement [...] which is false in any material particular or which brings or is calculated to bring the Federal Military Government or the Government of a state or public officer to ridicule or disrepute, shall be guilty of an offense under this Decree". [60] The law further stated that offending journalists and publishers will be tried by an open military tribunal, whose ruling would be final and unappealable in any court and those found guilty would be eligible for a fine not less than 10,000 naira and a jail sentence of up to two years. Tunde Thompson and Nduka Irabor of The Guardian were among the journalists who were tried under the decree. [59] Decree 20 on illegal ship bunkering and drug trafficking was another example of Buhari's tough approach to crime. [61] Section 3 (2) (K) provided that "any person who, without lawful authority deals in, sells, smokes or inhales the drug known as cocaine or other similar drugs, shall be guilty under section 6 (3) (K) of an offence and liable on conviction to suffer death sentence by firing squad." In the case of Bernard Ogedengebe, the Decree was applied retroactively. [62] He was executed even if at the time of his arrest the crime did not mandate the capital punishment, but had carried a sentence of six months imprisonment. [62] In another prominent case of April 1985, six Nigerians were condemned to death under the same decree: Sidikatu Tairi, Sola Oguntayo, Oladele Omosebi, Lasunkanmi Awolola, Jimi Adebayo and Gladys Iyamah. [63] In 1985, prompted by economic uncertainties and a rising crime rate, the government of Buhari opened the borders (closed since April 1984) with Benin , Niger , Chad and Cameroon to speed up the expulsion of 700,000 illegal foreigners and illegal migrant workers. [64] Buhari is today known for this crisis; there even is a famine in the east of Niger that have been named "El Buhari". [65] His regime drew criticism from many, including Nigeria's first Nobel Prize winner Wole Soyinka, who, in 2007, wrote a piece called "The Crimes of Buhari" [66] which outlined many of the abuses conducted under his military rule. Ahead of the 2015 general election, Buhari responded to his human rights criticism by saying that if elected, he would follow the rule of law, and that there would be access to justice for all Nigerians and respect for fundamental human rights of Nigerians.

Buhari's administration was embroiled in a scandal
concerning the fate of 53 suitcases with unknown
contents. [53] The suitcases were being transported by the
Emir of Gwandu , whose son was Buhari's aide-de-camp,
and were cleared through customs on 10 June 1984 without
inspection during his return flight from Saudi Arabia. |

Okoroawusa: Your history is obviously dodgy and the realities are a bit far from the truth. In the first place it is the Indigenization policy of the Murtala administration that started the exodus of foreign interests in Nigerian industry. In the heydays of apartheid everything foreign was labelled colonialist, racist, fascist and they were nationalised or subtantially indigenised with obvious consequences. Bythe time IBB came to power it was all gone. Industries that were lost during his regime were purely resulting from economic factors primarily due to the weakening of the purchasing power of the average Nigerian. Also my take on the other economic missteps is simple. Yes he weakened the naira. This was to reduce the stress on the foreign exchange market which in princiole is to discourage imports and spur local industry but he failed to realise that the average Nigerian is lazy and prefers a quick ride to prosperity and so will not make anything he needs. This hasn't changed till today. We are still poor, lazy and an unproductive nation of people who live far beyond their means. You cannot blame IBB alone for a cultural position. |

godofuck231: the truth is if dele wanted anything from babangida he would had been alive today because since babangida was an army procurement officers during the previous regime days till him been Army COAS, people knew him has a very generous guy who would pay you anything without sweating it, babangida also killed the detain woman in kirikiri in the drug scandal along with dele... as for vasta he was a popular guy especially among the writters , poet and nigerian socials and he was very loved by junior rank, so danjuma warned IBB on the potentials that could cost his regime, and supreme military council hurriedly approve a very fast kangaroo trail and eliminated him fast fast even before people like wole soyinka , achebe and other scholars could beg on his behalf his death as been announced 2 Likes 1 Share |

Looks like he's had a stroke. So many history revisionists on this thread. Someone even suggested IBB killed Dele Giwa because Dele was extorting him. Bullsh*t. Who remembers the song we all sang after his death, in primary school: "Dele Giwa, Dele Giwa he died by letter bomb . . ." |
