tomakint: Definitely Buhari is perenially unelectable as far as Nigeria's politics is concerned, like I use to say, if you want to finish Buhari, just hand him the mic and the rest is settled! There is indeed a strong nexus between 'something' and Buhari, if 'something' is not wrong with Buhari, then Buhari must be wrong with 'something'! Strangely, this is the same tribalist, bigot, fundamentalist and sadist some southern Nigerians in the house called their MESSIAH what a big shame and blockheadedness

luvinhubby: It's unfortunate that Tinubu & co have mortgaged the poltical future of most Southwesterners to an extremist like Buhari.

You can tell this crap to the illiterates on NL.To me,there is only one definition for terrorrism and both ND militants and Boko Haram have exhibited such traits.Hiding under bullshiit to justify one terror against another is hypocrisy !

Any group that instigates wide civil disturbance/disobedience,races arms against the state,conduct violence of any kind directed at non-combatant targets to achieve a political objective or coerce the government into doing its biddings is a terrorist organization.

This is the definition of terrorism as defined by the US federal criminal code.There is no difference between the terror exhibited by Boko haram and that of ND militants.Terror is terror no matter who the culprits are !

Prof Corruption: There's not even a single part of Buhari's interview that can be characterized as a lie.

HNosegbe: *sigh*

There are three key differences here that Buhari doesn't seem to realise (or is unwilling to acknowledge):

1. The Niger Delta militants (admit it or not) had legitimate grievances and aspirations with regard to the (non-)utilization of the oil wealth (grievances which I share) while Boko Haram is a full-blown insurgency seeking to Islamise their region if not the whole country (aspirations which are ridiculous, to put it mildly).

2. The acts of violence in the ND were mostly limited to kidnappings and abductions, after which the victims were released. Boko Haram, however, have gone out on a deliberate killing spree, bombing, shooting and raiding banks, police stations, drinking spots, the UN building, Mogadishu barracks etc. Heck, they even tried to hoist their own flag!!!


3. The Niger Delta boys accepted amnesty (well at least most of them did) but BH has obviously foreclosed that possibility, despite the obvious willingness of the FG to grant it to them. So what gives?

I'm not denying that the security forces have been quite heavy-handed in their approach to the BH issue (even from the time of Yusuf Mohammed) but we CANNOT keep comparing the Niger Delta militants (apples) with Boko Haram (grapes).
They're as different as night and day.

GenBuhari: I have said it before and I would say it again.

Where is video evidence? Buhari said that calmpdown is too harsh?

We know Nigerian journalist would write whatever they are paid to write by corrupt politicians.

We know 40 laptops are at work these days.




Buhari paying respect to traditional leaders:


A man is capable of change and Buhari has changed; he has gone back to his vomit.


Do Buhari's critics know better than Ojukwu?

GENERAL BUHARI VISITS YOLA AFTER QUENCHING RELIGIOUS RIOTING THAT LEFT DOZENS DEAD.[/size]
Nigeria's military ruler, Major-General Mohamed Buhari, visited the northeastern Nigerian city of Yola - in Gongola state - February 29 to assess the extent of damage caused by violent communal rioting two days earlier.

The known death toll from the religious disturbances is nearly 140, with at least another 60 persons injured, some critically. Gongola's acting state governor, Colonel Cyril Iweze, blamed the turmoil on fanatical followers of Moslem fundamentalist Muhammadu Marwa Maitatsine's religious sect. Marwa himself was killed in vicious rioting three years ago, when an estimated 4,000 people died.

In disturbances on February 27, the army was eventually called in to quell resistance from thousands of religious fanatics, at least 715 of whom were arrested by security forces.

General Buhari visited the Yola Specialist Hospital during his one-day tour of the gutted city, and also met with the Lamido of Adamawa, Alhaji Mustapha Aliyu, to discuss the situation.

General Buhari Imposes Curfew To End Religious Riots[/size]

. .BAUCHI, Nigeria, April 28— A dusk-to-dawn curfew has been imposed on the northern Nigerian town of Gombe, where more than 100 people have died in religious riots, an official statement said today.

Officials said the deaths occurred in two days of fighting between the police and members of the banned fundamentalist Maitatsine Islamic sect.

The Bauchi state government said that anyone violating the curfew ''will be regarded as a fanatic and will be shot on sight.''

The statement said the situation in Gombe was under control and most members of the sect were fleeing the town. A total of 146 suspected members of the sect had been arrested, it added.

Shooting broke out at dawn on Friday when the police tried to arrest Yusufu Adamu, the sect's leader in Gombe. Officials said nothing had been heard of him since, and it was unclear whether he was among those killed.

The initial police action cleared the sect out of its stronghold, but Nigerian television said many more lives were lost that night when the sect killed local people they had taken hostage.

HNosegbe:

If only it were that simplistic.

Two things hold true:

1. The Niger Delta had previously tried peaceful means (through the likes of Ken Saro-Wiwa) to get their LEGITIMATE grievances heard and addressed. We all know how that ended.

2. The Niger Delta is Nigeria's honeypot, the goose that lays the golden egg. The economic and political consequences of a long-drawn out war would have been deleterious for the entire country.

So you see, not only was the amnesty a means of compensating the ND for decades of neglect and oil spillage (the root causes of which, admittedly, have not been well-addressed), it was also the smart thing to do in the interest of the financial viability of an oil-dependent country.

That is, by and large, more than I can say for those 72 virgin-seeking Kanuri muffuguhs.

My point: they're not the same.

Elueme: All I will do for now is to shake my head at the clownish way this man reason.. Why Buhari is irredeemably doomed never to be nigeria's president. This man is frickingly tribalistic and bigoted why he will be loved by the millions of mofoons who reason like him while his national figure diminishes by the day. Trying to bend history is not only wicked but criminal and you can't beat a child and expects him not to cry; these where the scenarios with the Niger delta agitation. Why the militants claimed to fight for neglect, environmental degradation and destruction of source of livelihood by Buhari and his northern Fulani brothers, northern Islamic terrorists had no reasonable course. While the Niger delta militants protected and respected the sanctity of the human life and were in the habit of informing the general public of their set target and gave clue of when, the northern Islamist terrorist take utmost pleasure in destroying innocent and defenseless lives etc
Talk of unjust killings of agitators, arm was the last resort employed by the delta militants. All peaceful entreaties were rebuffed by the Nigerian states and many of their activists were executed among whom are the Ogoni 9 including saro wiwa even when they didn't kill a soul , talk less of Muhammed Yusuf, whose unprovoked carnage in Maiduguiri sent thousands to early grave.
Buhari is nothing by a divisionist. He is playing into the minds of millions of illiterate and bigoted northern Nigerian citizens many of whom share in the same sentiments while hoping that Tinubu and co will deliver a substantial vote for him in the south.
This bigoted tendencies is why Buhari is not and can never be Nigerian president.

GenBuhari: I have seen many video interviews of Buhari but never seen him defend BH, only stories written by corrupt cheque book journalists falsely attribute such sayings to him
