REHOZIBAH: Dis title of dis thread is sensational to say d least!

Occassions lyk dat r meant 4 throwing banters n conviviality!

D coup dat brought in Buhari served a purpose then n dat was to stem d corruption dat politicians of dat time wer flagrantly displaying

We were innudated wt nauseating display of affluence n iniquitous accumulation of wealth by politicians especially of d ruling class

Shagari d president was adjudged not to b dat corrupt but his weakness n refusal to reign in party members was his greatest undoing

Even civil servants were not left out! Then was d era of brown envelope! B4 u cud get anytyn done in govt circle,u av to tip off an official by packaging crisp naira notes in a brown envelope

Getting a contract approved was predicated on u having factored in a 10% extra cost on yr normal valuation

N dis was hampering d smooth running of govt! Nepotism n evri vice were @ dia infancy then n Nigerians were really complaining!

It was d indignation dat reckless lifestyle of d politician birthed in d military dat made Buhari n odas 2 chase d corrupt politicians away

A few months afta,d politicians aving accumulated a war-chest of money started mounting propaganda against d regime using d mass media capitalising on d regimes' excesses

IBB who aving studied dat Nigerians really do not hate corruption but wish to b part of it also took ova n really democratise corruption

Evri known enemies of (Buhari)govt were bought on-board thru indiscriminate award of contracts n d satanic SAP economic policy

Brown envelopes n 10% both disappeared leaving d stage 4 gross n undescribebable monumental corruption,people just collect mobilization fee of any contract n vamoose

In oda not 2b prosecuted,d contractor-politicians started hobnobbing wt d military

In a nutshell,it is not so simplistic to say Buhari truncated democracy if d 'ifs' n 'why's' are nt properly explained

4me evr action of each military ruler shd b dispassionately explained 2 situate dia place in history

Murtala n Buhari stil tower above evri military ruler dat Nigeria hs had.Gowon got tainted by his sit-tight antics n civil war

Back to Tinubu,I wud av bn agrieved dat Tinubu is hobnobbing wt Buhari if I ddnt kno d precedent of GMB as an anti-corruption crusader or his distaste of lascivious lifestyles of present day politicians

I subscribe to d need 2 completely change d course of dis country by progressive politicians wt Nigeria being dia focal point n not any ethno-religious connotation or colouration being deplored by d PDP

I adore GMB 4 d little he was able to achieve by whipping d then very corrupt politicians n business men including Dangote then cos Buhari remove d monopoly dat Dangote alone hd over importation of som food items

Several of d politicians Buhari moved against were even fellow northerners like Abdusamad,Mai Deribe n several odas not d 'Na my Brother' kind of politicians we av now

Its a known fact dat billions in import duty waivers were being granted 2 som business men who r major financiers of d govt in power

Who can 4get d ultimate monopoly Femi Otedola enjoyed in AGO importation 4 abt a year unda OBJ who gave him importation contract 4 all d diesel d whole of nigeria was consumming wc d young man now sub-contract to other major playas in d industry

You all don't kno dat monumental corruption emanates frm d leader dats y dey can neva fight corruption

Malabu,Halliburton n several hideous corruption scandals r 2 numerous 2 mention

4me as a Yoruba man,Xtian n highly detribalised,nobody can taint General Muhammadu Buhari in my view cos dis man is d demon dat our ruling elites fear

Its only we d youths dat I am afraid for cos d corrupt elites av almost succeded in twisting our history since most of u probably were not born until d 90s hence d social media av bn used to whip of grand hatred against people who ordinarily shd b our heroes

Dey did it to Gani Fawehinmi who pipo even later said was looking 4 cheap publicity owing to his incessant cries n activism against d corrupt n entrenched establishment

Gani later tried his hands in politics,d propanganda machinery stil said 'd best activists r not always d best leaders n dat Gani shd b content wt being just a human right crusader'

Anytime I see u all fighting yrslf on d basis of religion,ethnicity I always weep within me cos corruption,sleaze,n visionless leadership dosnt kno Hausa,Igbo nor Yoruba

Ekueme was put in prison while Shagari was placed under house arrest... In ur wisdom that's not tribalism! Even ur whole post is tribalistic,
My 2kobo!

Aliyu Sabo Bakin Zuwo, Governor of Kano State: He was arrested by the Buhari regime which came to power in a coup on 31 December 1983.[4] N3.4 million was said to be found "stacked up" in Zuwo's home when it was searched by the new military government.[8] In 1985 a Special Military Tribunal sentenced him to 300 years in jail..

The governor of Kano was sent to 300yrs in jail Maybe thats tribalism to you

I'm not surprised because Jonathan was born clueless and you cant expect anything better given his antecedents.

Everything in his life points to extreme cluelessness and Retardattion of the highest order

But for Adeyemi? AT least he for try respect his First name and act "Smart"

D Merciful: I am extremely sure u will never achieve what GEJ has achieved even if they give u 2 lifetime! u can run ur mouth, thats d dividends of democracy

bloggernaija: GEJ committed N900 billion to " fighting terrorism" in a single year and education/health/infrastructure got how much?
Smart adeyemi who professes to be a democrat does not see any wrong with that.
Spending such a sum to fight a few idiots who normally should have been routted via a focused police action is not exactly what you call smart.
Is exactly the picture of what nigeria has become.
Even the civil war did not cost as much as a tenth of this.
True democrats know that money meant for the welfare of the people is being diverted to feed Nigeria's brand new military/security /industrial complex.you do not hear the worldbank and the IMF complaining about this.
The other matter is that those who strategically look into the future know that it is dire.
The advise to the goodluck administration to thread softly from the progressives should not be ignored.fighting terrorism is one thing,killing innocent civilians which Nigeria's security forces do well is another.
From a strategic view point
Some of us can boldly see the same treatment being visited on the Niger delta in the future in the name of getting rid of militants.
As always ,only the weak will suffer.
Smart Adeyemi showed a lack of class as to bring up a politics into an event such as this.
Tinubu also did the right thing as to walk out of the venue .It is what decent people do.HE who laughs last laughs best.
I also fault tinubu and others for attending an event based on the new fad of going to Dubai to attend a silly wedding. Where next? St tropez to waste more money in the name of show?
Finally as long as there is a party called PDP in one form or the other,I will reserve my criticism of ACN for a time when the threats of this PDP's terrorism of the Nigerian people ends
Until that time , All hail ACN.
FACT :A man who is not corrupt is likely to surround himself with like minded people.

PointB:


Shame. What kind of man run away from the opportunity to sell his idea? Only an opportunist does that! Tinubu's romance with Buhari is not based on any solid principle, just the opportunistic grasp for power.

Again, shame!

donem:
I doff ma hat to the writer of this article. But i still disagree on the aspect of Buhari, to be frank Buhari mean no good towards the political development of Nigeria, his close romance with the boko-haram sect while they held sway in some northern states turned off his chance of ever rulling Nigeria.

Aikayy:

Ekueme was put in prison while Shagari was placed under house arrest... In ur wisdom that's not tribalism! Even ur whole post is tribalistic, Buhari to u is a hero because ur r an A.CN fan. In ur wisdom, Iherika and his men shld topple d present government because all ur highlighted points have escalated. Brown envelops have metamorphosied to Ghana must go bags or dollar wraps in caps. Dangote still enjoy govt patronage... Besides A.CN under Tinubu's leadership is more corrupt than Shagari's govt was, where tax payers funds is used to provide infrastructure which wld b tolled and 28% of d toll fees end up in thiefneedbe's pocket. Governance in nigeria has never been this bad.....but Buhari won't notice that cos all he sees is opportunity to go aso rock!! Well, d only way he'll go to aso rock is if there is a place called aso rock in hell!!
My 2kobo!

Brahhhh, calm your boiling balls, defense/research (in war fare) allocations are more than education and health care in the US too. Global security is now threathened, Nigeria is no exception.
