The Babangida Government by Mamajama(m): 8:06pm On Jan 29, 2008
Babangida, of Gwari origins and a middle belt Muslim, was Nigeria's sixth military ruler and, as of 1990, the most powerful. Compared with Buhari, Babangida was a somewhat more methodical ruler, and his style was different. Whereas Buhari was stern and resolute, Babangida was deft and tactical. Babangida was reported to have taken part in all coups in Nigeria, which may explain his confident handling of national affairs. He was, however, unpredictable.

Although Babangida came to power as a champion of human rights, his record in this area deteriorated over time. He gradually released most of the politicians incarcerated by Buhari. Yet, he often hounded opposition interest groups, especially those of labor and students, and detained many radical and anti-establishment persons for various offenses. The infamous Decree Number 2 remained in force in 1990 to facilitate these oppressive acts.

Hello,

If Nigerian can give babaginda another chance, i think he will make a good president. His tactics are different and he is very experienced in international policies.

Mr. Mamajama,

I think you should channel your energy towards laundering the battered image of Mr. Sunday Gabriel Ehindero, rather than dissipating it on spurious statements.

In case you don't know, the Fed. Govt, has already instituted a probe into the PEF which your Ehindero pilfered from
Why should a kettle be calling pot black?

What happened to the chance he had for an 8 year period?Isn't 8 years sufficient to make a positive impact?

mamajama,
be informed that military is never a addressed as a type of government.
please informed that Ibb did not get the people's mandate to be the president of nigeria and as such was not expected to please the masses.
be informed that obj played a good man during his military days and was trusted in 1999 but turned out to be the highest deciet nigeria has ever seen.
the masses lost trust in him to the extent that his own blood son went public to show his distrust.
i will advise you to forget ibb and pretend he never existed. let us find a way to reduce the financial accumulation of obj who to me is a fresh wound.
you better advise yourself because u have lost ur sense of reasoning.
why don't u ask urself why would efcc and obj in all the war on corruption fail to probe ibb?
it is obvious that abacha was the only ex-president probed by obj simply bcs abacha incassarated obj during his time.
in which other ways can one be convienced that efcc was a tool during obj's regime just to legally clip the wings of political enemies.

[center]Nigerians like decieving themselves[/center]

What happened in Kenya will be child's play ,if the self acclaimed evil-genius remotely gives thought to considering to attempting to run for a party ticket to contest any election in this GREAT COUNTRY again.

Like the Jews say: NEVER AGAIN !!!
