Ozonna: Guys, let's not single out GEJ. This man was a freedom fighter and has genuine love for his people.

I make bold to say that our own leaders who fought for our own freedom were not as good as this man. Azikiwe's,Awolowo,Sardauna's were all corrupt. Infact,none of us here will be as honest as this man if we are to be made president of Nigeria.

This man is a rare breed
abegí, count me out....my father is a pastor and my mum is an evangelist and me i am a *thinking*.....a corrupt Nigeria.

omoredia: The corrupt senators and house of rep members are the problem they will always resist any effort to reduce allowances and salary. I'm sure buhari can do such but will donate to fund terrorism instead of a good cause!

u sound hypocritical here. u deliberately left behind the presidency headed by the retardeen himself that feeds on approx 1Billion naira worth of food in a financial year coupled with spending millions on newspapers etc besides am interested in previous donation the general has donated to terrorism in time past. remember, only a fool will allege but when called to substantiate, they go dumb.

IF THIS IS TRUE...AND AN ACT PURELY ALTRUISTIC IN NATURE...

then that is very humble and sweet of him.
That is a man of integrity and extraordinary kindness.

May he be blessed eternally. smiley

damola1: His humble lifestyle is reflected by his choice of an aging Volkswagen Beetle[22] as transport, his only asset.[23] His wife owns the farm they live on. The Economist describes him as "a roly-poly former guerrilla who grows flowers on a small farm and swears by vegetarianism"[24]. He also donates 87% of his state salary to charitable causes.[25] He does not believe in God
I re-read back almost one million times,the man never said he doesn't believe in God.. The man never said anything about religion...

I believe it is hightime you checked your dictionary for another word to use because you have over-used the word ‘RETARDEEN‘!
Your hatred for GEJ is too much,it‘s definitely affecting your sense of reasoning!

@topic
Well mr uruguayan president, you see?

Never will you hear that our leaders do this kinda of a thing.... Dem dey craze nii?

You'll rather hear them fighting and debating over increases in various allowances... From the president to the senators, even councillors.

Bottom line is: they don't really give a fvck about US...

Tell a Nigerian Leader to drive a 1970 Volkswagon, he will send hired assassins after you. This is no joke, they will do it. Our minds are messed up big time. Have a neighbor, a prominent Nigerian, he has well over 15 cars in his driveway/compound, guess what, he only drives 5 out of the 15. I was going to ask him, are you ok and do you know what you are doing? I dare not ask him that, otherwise he will send hired assassins after me. You see how our minds are messed up.

A funny anecdotal narrative: I knew a foreign diplomat who was a family friend, he narrated when he first arrived Nigeria and was being driven into the capital city Abuja, he said he hears siren whirling from a few distance behind him, he quickly tells his chauffeur to pull aside to let the hearse pass by, the driver tells him it wasn't a hearse but actually a real human in the car, a politician. He said he was shocked that a politician would feel so comfortable being driven a hearse.

Why would he need bodyguards or escorts when his hands are clean?the man is working for his people unlike our own leaders that are just there working for their pockets?

GCRS87: This is the person dat deserve the name 'peoples servant' and not Gov. Babangida of Niger state. He's deceiving his people with the slogan (people's servant) while he loots in billions. Where is Obasanjo, Tinibu, Ibb, Edwin Clark, Tony aninih, and the rest. See wat your mate( difrns in age will nt be upto five or ten years) is doing to his country instead of you guys to do same bt you prefer playin the of evil father, party leader, n so on.

Well we Nigerians are used to wicked leaders and president that doesn't give a damn. His people are used to good governance and generous president. Why we no go praise him. How can the Prez of a nation be this humble.

This story shows that people can be good or bad,depending on the choices they made,being a good person has nothing to do with atheism or religion,it's all about choice.

I dont care if he's an atheist or not. The topic is talking about his good deeds,not his religious belief. Why did he had to edit the topic and make it look like it was included in the original statement.. Even the link posted,didn't not say anything about his belief..
