I have always known that the man is not what he seems to portray,I have always said it and people like IBB and Obasanjo are there to vindicate us when it concerns Buhari. He should just kee quiet and respect his old age.

Okija_juju: And people said Buhari was a saint!!

If the Evil Genius says you are a criminal, then YOU ARE INDEED A CRIMINAL.

i know u'll stoop lower than ur record low to believe any lies against buhari, even if it comes from devil himself.
I can stil remember ur reaction when, on his 71st btday, he denied having any link wit boko haram. You called him 'maradona' the dribler. Now hes a genius b'cos he wants to vomit the trash u'll hav been searching endlesly for. Hypocrites!

Wow, I like this kind campaign of calumny

hercules07:

That must be the story told to you by your PDP goons abi, for your information, Buhari was cleared of all allegations and Shagari was there for four years, if he had anything, he had enough time to nail Buhari. IBB is just a rabble rouser.

Cleared of all allegations?! Really? By whom?

ujchief:
so its ok for us to say that the trillions of naira for petrol subsidy that disappeared under Gej 'watch' was stolen by him! Moreso, the billions of pension fund that stil disappeared under his watch was also looted by him. Should i go ahead and mention the mallabu scandal? Dont get me started.

The money disappeared under his watch and was reported to have been traced to his account in London, now tell me did the money grow wings?!

The bros should expose na... What is he waiting for? Let him expose so that Buhari go expose im own too.

Rubbish.

IBB holds alot of secrets. Of which wen exposed will help reshape this damn british company called naija!

I jst hope he confesses them be his demise.
Coz i will personally dig up his grave to find them...lol!

Pysam: Let the battle begin

and 1st blow 20 naira!!

Okija_juju: And people said Buhari was a saint!!

If the Evil Genius says you are a criminal, then YOU ARE INDEED A CRIMINAL.

this is very valid.

Division of and rancour among northern leaders is good for the south and GEJ.
Enough of one-north solidarity.

IBB may be left with no other better and safer option than to support GEJ's presidency uptill 2019.

The north (and Nigeria) is too small for IBB and Buhari to coexist politically without being at loggerheads.

Demdem: besides, where are those foools that claims both IBB and Buhari are the core sponsors of evil Boko

ARE YOU STILL SAYING THAT AFTER THIS STATEMENT BY IBB THAT YOU DON'T SUSPECT BIN BUHARI OF BOKO HARAM?

what advantagious advantage do we stand to derive from whatever skeleton that would be exposed from whoever cupboard or closet? just like someone asked 'how would this affect price of beans or garri in the market? when Bankole,Patricia Etteh and now Farouk was exposed what action was taken against them?....mek una let us rest for this cursed country before. . .If i may ask where's FAROUK LAWAN?I'vent heard anything about lately.

naijababe:


Contrary to popular opinion, Buhari is not the saint that he's being made out to be. He was indeed the minister of petroleum under Obasanjo in 79; under his watch $3B disappeared from the account of the NNPC. When Buhari overthrew Shagari's govt, the first port of call was the office of the NNPC where all documentation relating to the money promptly disappeared to this day.

I do realise that IBB has no right to any moral high ground though.

We all know no one in the world is a saint, not even the pope but bringing this up is funny because if truly what you're saying has anything to do with Buhari, do you think it wouldn't have been used against him since by all his opponents all these while?

hercules07:

That must be the story told to you by your PDP goons abi, for your information, Buhari was cleared of all allegations and Shagari was there for four years, if he had anything, he had enough time to nail Buhari. IBB is just a rabble rouser.

I dont understand you, is it that shagari was there for 4 yrs and has enough time to nail Buhari,

Anyway I know IBB is the Biggest Criminal even if Buhari is found wanting. pls we dont need the exposure it will always take us back and incite more crimes

killuminati: the source?

...Dem swear 4u wit "the source"?R u dat broke dat u can't afford newspapers,or 2 battery radio?

Birds of the same feather,it's high time these old men stop dancing salsa with the intelligence of the youths of this precious country.

If Buhari believes he has clean hands, He should dare IBB to say what he knows. If this matter dies without Buhari calling IBB's bluff, then its certain Buhari has always been the master hypocrite.

Virgin Finder: Division of and rancour among northern leaders is good for the south and GEJ.
Enough of one-north solidarity.

IBB may be left with no other better and safer option than to support GEJ's presidency uptill 2019.

The north (and Nigeria) is too small for IBB and Buhari to coexist politically without being at loggerheads.

dude forget those "loggerheads" they may nt be best of pals. But they still have a solid umbrella in the north. He said he is nt in habit of criticising a sittin president,dat dsnt mean he hs no issues with GEJ.

[size=18pt]Buharinomics - General Buhari’s economic program marshaled out to salvage the nation in 1984 [/size]

http://www.elombah.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=5720:is-general-buhari-the-problem-with-nigeria&catid=36:pointblank&Itemid=83

Buharinomics was General Buhari’s economic program marshaled out to salvage the nation in 1984. He summarized the objective of his economic policy (as articulated in the 1984 budget) as follows: "To arrest the decline in the economy, to put the economy on a proper course of recovery and solvency, and to chart a future course for economic stability and prosperity" (West Africa, May 14, 1984). He had previously done similarly, in March while receiving the visiting Sudanese President, Gaafar Nimeiri. Upon his inquiring of what the new military government had in mind for the nation it then ruled, Buhari said to him: "The priority [of his administration] is for economic recovery, providing employment opportunities, improving people's living conditions, consolidating internal security and ensuring foreign respect" (Africa Now, March 1984). In a nutshell, Buharinomics set out to arrest the decline in the economy and refocus it towards recovery.

Buharinomics was to wean the nation off consumerism and profligacy, while channeling it towards frugality and productivity. To accomplish this, the government was to cut down on its expenditure, engage in more efficient restricting and controlling of foreign exchange outflow, undertake the revival of the country's productive capacity (concentration was on agriculture), and broaden government's revenue base.

The first test of Buharinomics was implemented to revive the comatose banking industry and arrest local currency hoarding. In April 1984, the government ordered a change in the color of the Naira. This action was dubbed the “real coup” by unscrupulous business men and politicians who had almost eliminated the need for commercial banking in Nigeria by keeping their moneys under their mattresses or by trafficking them into neighboring West African countries.

This currency change, which forced all holders of the naira notes into exchanging them for the new naira notes at commercial banks, infused billions that had remained unaccounted for into the banking industry and eliminated counterfeited currencies, which had inflicted inflationary and other nefarious effects on the economy. This measure had an immediate revitalizing effect in the banking industry and was an unqualified success. Banks that were close to collapsing became vibrant again, to the extent that some of them began to hire hitherto unemployed Nigerians.

badlucky: Two warlords at war. Make them fight, maybe naija go better na them be our wahala.

...How about ibos,bringin us shame.Makin it deficult 4 responsible people lyk me 2 b issued visa,r they nt part of our problems?

[size=18pt]The Nigerian Genocidal kleptomaniac that is IBB[/size]

WHEN he hurriedly departed from power 17 years ago, he left behind a broken country; its people in stifled rage over his irrational and inexplicable nullification of the freest election ever conducted in Nigeria. He had ceaselessly dribbled the entire nation while denying repeatedly that he had a hidden agenda as was then alleged by the now late Alao Aka-Basorun.

Again and again, he tinkered with the very foundation of the country and experimented with abandon any, and every kind of theory of governance with uniformly disastrous results. His experiments in this opaque style of government failed spectacularly and in the end he left in place a functioning anarchy. Nor did he realise when to stop the dribbling runs and so scored an own-goal.

That singular misadventure in all his years in power left in its wake a sado-masochist, who sought to complete the mindless rape of the country as we knew it. On Aug. 27, 2010, it was 25 years since he violently seized power from Mohammadu Buhari and negatively altered our lives forever.

About 14 days ago, I read in THE PUNCH, an advertorial seeking the support of Nigerians for this thoroughly discredited soldier in contesting the presidency. It was signed by the evil genius himself. He assures Nigerians that ‘we‘ can do it again because ‘we‘ did it before! Do what really? As an individual, Babangida evokes within me a series of very negative emotional reactions all of which have marinated in vitriol since his ignominious departure from power.

He compromised every institution of state and undermined civil society organisations. His Structural Adjustment Programme; Movement for Social Mobilisation; Directorate of Foods Roads and Rural Ifrastructure; Dutch Auction; Modified Dutch Auction; Option A4; Organisation of Islamic Conference; the government-decreed political parties, one a little to the right and the other a little to the left; dictatorship; plutocracy; diarchy; the reforms in the civil service and the politicisation of the Armed Forces did not survive his tyrannical rule.

Instead, they worsened the polity across the board and at an immense cost physically and socially. All of it was a ruse, which the then military president carefully calibrated to keep the people busy while the lion devoured the flock. The mentality was of a vampire guarding a blood bank.

Worse, very weighty allegations levelled against his regime in the coup-day speech by Gideon Orkah in April 1991 have never been addressed by this Minna-born bully who speaks English with an amusing accent. Nor has he ever shown any faith in the country‘s institutions. He subverted its people and their judicial system when he refused to appear at the Oputa Panel in 2000.

Before then, of course, he had subverted the constitution by annulling a nearly flawless election. He abdicated his responsibility to the people of Nigeria, acted in cahoots with the discredited military establishment to endanger our collective security and therefore imperilled our future. With great aplomb, he claimed to know those who would not succeed him, an indication that the result of the 1993 presidential election was known before the vote.

Today, he immorally seeks power by becoming a candidate in another election. It is not surprising for many have often made the fatal error of crediting him with a lot of intelligence. What he has in abundance is animal cunning, a gift for conniving in unholy darkness, for springing the ambush of the predator, in the brutal contest for the attainment of power.

The end-product is a man who would not tell the truth if the lie will serve him just as well. Consequently, his antecedents show him up as psychologically unsuited for the office of president in a democratic and plural society. He is the ultimate anti-democrat who now seeks power by democratic means. That is much the same way that Adolf Hitler legitimately won power but the world saw to what use that power was deployed.

Besides his duplicitous and untrustworthy nature is the pretence to godliness. He would frequently lace important public statements with phrases like Insha allah and Alhamdililah, but it must be evident to all that this is one individual who, despite wearing a toga of religious piety, worships only at the altar of his image.

If he succeeds this time because of our collective personal failings to recognise evil when we see it, Nigeria would have begun a certain journey on the path to irreversible decline. At 69, this slayer of Mamman Vatsa, Gideon Orkah and countless other military officers is well past his prime. Even at his best, he brought much odium and suffering to the people of Nigeria despite having been at the helm for one sixth of Nigeria‘s entire 50 year history.

At his age today we can expect that he will sell the entire nation to a consortium of shady characters, coup plotters and dubious businessmen who will denigrate Nigeria to the level of Haiti. That he succeeded before in drawing rings around us is not surprising, but that he succeeded so regularly and so spectacularly is what is truly astonishing.

The ordinary Nigerian is able to withstand what his latest adventure represents. However, the vehicle he seeks is a dangerous political party that wants to win power at any cost. It is perhaps the most irresponsible political party on the African continent. The largest? Can it claim to come even close to the African National Congress in South Africa in ideology, in size or in organisational skills? Or to the rigorous discipline of the MPLA in Angola?

He had a golden opportunity to become a genuine African hero and he simply bungled it. To this day, his regime remains an exemplar of arbitrariness and immense corruption, a symbol of government by attrition, the very one which brought brilliant economists into the government while its principal officers sauntered into the barn and asphyxiated the economy. His incredulous response? Why has the economy not collapsed?

So if he thinks he is a symbol, it is mostly of what? It will be a sorry return to the politics of a failed past which conspired with emergency intellectuals and imported ideology to negate our natural aspirations to grow physically and economically as expected of the youthful population that Nigeria is blessed with. In societies where the rule of law is upheld to the letter, this non-performer should have been in jail and in those promoting revolutionary law he would have been summarily executed.

But this is Nigeria where anything is possible including the truly bizarre. Nothing is ever the way it appears to be ordinarily, but in the hands of professional politicians such as this re-entrant into presidential politics, who ceaselessly profiteer from power, the cloak and dagger approach to important matters of state would as expected attain a more violent coloration.

We have endured enough bloodshed in this country following the end of the Civil War, enough violence, enough uncertainty and a disproportionate amount of all this is traceable directly and indirectly to Babangida. If the question arose about whether he should be given another chance, even if to improve on his rather sordid record, my answer would be overwhelmingly no.

Sadly, this poorly educated soldier – he does not hold a degree or even a diploma – tells the world that the youths of Nigeria are incapable of leading the nation because of their poor education. Most youths in authority today are much better educated than he is.
