Obiagelli: nonsense, i would like to have deziani in a crate. Umaru Dikko is now a saint to your likes, not surprised though, gej has been endorsing and freeing thieves since he became president.
Btw Op can you act out the scene of how buhari tried to bomb himself, you can try with just one grenade so that you don't get hurt.

I keep on telling these dumb bottoms...What happened at Kaduna is not a Hollywood movie with fake stuff. Those were live bullets, live bombs, live explosions, live damage. Some of them won't even collect 20m naira to put a knockout in their pocket and let it explode yet they claim Buhari staged it. They can keep on being ignorant slaves though. Wetin be my business?

ichidodo: Sorry,i didn't know it was raining iidiots today.My bad...

Transgender....

Yes...NL is raining down with eeddiots all day today.....eddiots like you.

koastar: One reason I believe the assassination attempt on Buhari was staged is that, he (Buhari) claimed the vehicle (laced with bomb) ramped into his convoy but no one died. The question is, how come those closest to the bomb who are in the convoy were not killed by it not even a serious injury but those who are far away got killed? If the car that ramped into Buhari's convoy was the one carrying the bomb then, those in his convoy should be the most hit.
My take, The bomb must have been placed around where much innocent people are, the actual place where more casualties are found, which is a bit far from where Buhari's convoy was located which is a place safe enough to record no casualty but fragments of the bomb could cause damage to only the outer parts of the vehicles. So they must have been told to make sure they are well enclosed inside their vehicles to avoid flying fragments hitting them.

Summary,
1. The car that ramped into Buhari's convoy wasn't the one carrying the bomb
2. Since no one in Buhari's convoy got killed or with serious injury, that means the bomb is very far from his convoy
3. The bomb was placed somewhere around the market where more casualties were found. The closer one is to a bomb, the closer the person is to death

Are you aware there were 2 different bomb blasts at clearly different time intervals?
Did you not see the picture of Buhari's convoy and damaged car by the side of the ripped car?

Summary;
Even if it was a staged assassination attempt, your logic is laughable

hmmmm..... theories all over the place. only God knows d truth

Rexxie:
its obvious ur farts preceeds u,lil wonder u always churn out posts clearly seen to hav emanated frm inspirations gotten from ur balls...got that,piimp

not n never a fan of Buhari,but i wish he had succeeded in that botched kidnap same way i wish orkarss coup was a suceess....damm brits

goodness me!


this stalker is here!

You really had to feel sorry for this generation. The so called IPad generation, you will have to say is not only moronic but bereft of even an average reasoning, going by most of the comments here.

If one is really a friend or a supporter of Goodluck Jonathan, for his sake, the last thing you want is something terrible as assassination of someone of Buhari's status, as the outcome won't be pretty.

Even Jonathan and his spin doctors knew that.
What a wasted generation!

Oh well....like the Super Mod rightly put the topic on FP.....a very crazy theory...that can only come from a very crazy mind.

[size=28pt]Buhari wants to be assassinated by desperate APC cabal members!

They want to bring out another person to challenge GEJ as he is the only obstacle that have been campaigning since 2003 and has refused to step aside. There is no theory bigger than this fact![/size]

Nobody can ever be as right as the OP. I wonder why some f00lish set of people are still acting insensitive about the saga, buhari has shown himself to be a master of gimmicks, he should be given a role to play in nollywood ASAP.

Nwanne m, if I were asked to make a guess as to the mental state of whoever recommended this conspiracy theory of a thread for NL front page, I'd proffer the notion that the culprit is a dummy who is bereft of common sense.

There is really no need to fuel this kind of idiotic theory if one is interested in the unity of this country.SMH @ narrow mindedness

GenBuhari: [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.

To cut down on government expenses, the federal work force was cut by 30% and imports for 1984 pegged at 4 billion pounds (mostly on basic foodstuffs, spare parts, and raw materials for local industries), against 14 billion pounds spent in 1983. To ensure that Nigeria remained respectable on the international business world, Buhari committed to honoring Nigeria’s debt payment schedule irrespective of the limited earning potential of Nigeria. In August 1984, Buhari was on one of his meet-the-people nationwide tours, which he began as soon as the administration got on its feet. Everywhere he went, the people embraced him, coming out en mass and ushering him tumultuous cheers and unreserved applause. In one of his speeches to the people (this one in Owerri), he reiterated Nigeria’s commitment to honoring its debts, the dire economic situation notwithstanding. "The task of this administration is how to persuade Nigerians to understand that for a number of years to come, we would be paying debts, the roads may be long and thorny but we believe that on our shoulders lies the responsibility to save our fatherland from devastation that has resulted from mismanagement" (Newswatch, February 18, 1985).

Buhari could not have been any more correct in his statement above. Assuming Nigeria took no further loans, its breakdown of loan repayments was as follows: 3.9 billion naira ($4.4 billion) in 1985, 3.7 billion naira ($4.19 billion) in 1986, 2.8 billion naira ($3.2 billion) in 1987, until a decrease to 703 million in 1991 (Concord Weekly, May 6, 1985). Nigeria’s precarious financial situation made it impossible for it to finance capital projects and meet up its balance of payment obligations. With oil export pegged at 1.3 million barrels per day by OPEC, borrowing from external sources became necessary. To this effect, Nigeria proposed borrowing 1.795m naira to finance its capital project from the IMF. The patriotism with which General Buhari handled Nigeria’s dealings with the IMF was the highlight and beauty of Buharinomics.

In order to qualify for the loan, IMF gave Nigeria certain conditions which must be met. In 1984 when the naira exchanged for $1.34, the IMF demanded a minimum of 60% devaluation of it. Buhari refused, agreeing only to a "crawling peg"—a mechanism whereby government would realign the currency gradually, forestalling or minimizing economic and social dislocations because of such drastic devaluation of its currency. In addition to the devaluation of the naira, IMF demanded that government took other drastic actions: (a) The government must remove its subsidy on petroleum. (b) It must curtail its expenditure. (c) Government must rationalize its tariff structures. (d) It must put a freeze on its wages. (e) It must put a total end of non-statutory transfers to State governments, (f) Government must at least institute a 30% raise on interest rates—government resisted this because the decline in its revenue earnings and its debt obligations made it almost impossible to raise interest rates without triggering inflation (West Africa, May 14, 1984).
www.nairaland.com/attachments/908607_Gen_Buhari_jpg680f0e3cee55a5a2432551406739fb8e
The Nigerian government and veteran economists in Nigeria (like Aluko, Onosade, Okigbo, etc) could not make sense of being asked to devalue its currency when Nigeria’s imports were in dollar and its export (fixed quantity of oil) was also in dollar. The implication of devaluation was that Nigeria would pay more to import lesser quantity of goods than it did prior to any devaluation. It would also export the same amount of oil it exported before any devaluation and derive lesser revenue than it received before any devaluation The impacts of it debt payment would have harsher effect on the citizenry if the naira was devalued. This did not make any economic sense to Buhari; it struck him as an insult on the intelligence of the African. Finance Minister Onaolapo Soleye and Alhaji Abubakar Alhaji who led the Nigerian delegation to the last negotiation in Washington were chewed out by US Federal Reserve Chairman, Paul Volcker, for presenting the Nigerian governments rejection of most of these recommendations. For rejecting the IMF conditions and the loan, the Buhari administration got into the black book of Washington. Already, it had earned the dislike of 10 Downing Street for cutting down Nigeria’s imports from the UK by about 350%. In any case, without the IMF loan, government was still in a bind as to how to finance capital projects and pay for imports, especially spare parts for local industries, food items, etc. At this juncture, the genius and resourcefulness of Buharinomics illuminated to the delight of the African.

First, the administration sent Oil Minister Tam David West to OPEC to seek a raise in the quantity of oil that Nigeria could export. If OPEC agreed, Nigeria would expect to generate extra revenue in the long run from any increase of its oil quota and this would assist tremendously in augmenting the shortfall in the nation’s purse. Professor West came back empty handed—the US and Britain had put pressure on their puppets in OPEC (like Saudi Arabia) to refuse Nigeria’s request.

To counter OPEC’s bluff, the Buhari administration entered into a $2 billion barter trade agreement with four countries. Nigeria daily bartered 200,000 barrels of oil as follows: (a) completely knocked down parts for automobiles from Brazil. (b) Construction equipment from Italy (c) Engineering equipment from France, and (d) Capital goods from Austria. This barter trade took care of the administration’s need to have borrowed money but it intensified the ill will the US and Britain had for Nigeria. By bartering this oil, Nigeria was: (a) solving those needs which the proposed IMF loan was geared toward. Doing so without borrowing or feeling the pains of spending the meager amount generated from its OPEC approved 1.3 billion a day oil export is the stuff an economic wizard is made of. (b) Britain had been cut off as Nigeria’s major supplier of the goods which the countries in the barter agreement sent to Nigeria. (c) The US usurious money lenders were denied the chance to suck Nigeria dry through the IMF loan. (d) American and British oil companies were irate that the oil being bartered would flood the oil market, cutting in on their profits. (d) The oil being bartered was oil that used to be illegally bunkered before Buhari put illegal oil bunkering artist out of business. For once, an African country had put positive economic mechanism in place to salvage its ailing economy without swallowing IMF’s poison pills.
www.nairaland.com/attachments/726098_Buhari_jpgd50be5e2308ebe86c9271391021b0a5f
As far as America and Britain were concerned, there was a price to be paid by this Buhari, who thought he was smart enough not to accept subservience to their authority. To begin with, a London newspaper (The Financial Times) published Nigeria’s barter trade agreement with Brazil (which, in truth, was done in secrecy because Buhari treated some aspects of his economic policy as State secret). The British thought it was going to incite OPEC against Nigeria since OPEC as a body did not support oil bartering. Oil Minister Tam David West, in a press conference, said, “If a nation believes it is part of its strategy for national survival to do this [barter trade], why not?” To assure OPEC that Nigeria was not indulging in barter trade in order to pull out of OPEC, he added ”Our strategy is to stay in OPEC and make its presence felt, and work together on programs that will be for the economic interest of all” (Concord Weekly, May 6, 1985). There is more to this barter trade than time will permit one to detail in this piece. For now, it is worth noting that it was the major reason for which Britain and America wanted the Buhari administration overthrown.
www.nairaland.com/attachments/754009_Gen__Buhari_jpg3932850d15a62856c902dd8cc516cff9
The counter trade showcased Buhari as a visionary. He made America and Britain feel silly and they swore to get him out of office. When Babangida took over, on his maiden speech to the nation he promised to revisit the counter trade agreements. Within two weeks in office, September 17, 1985, he setup a panel to review it and recommend to his administration how to revive the economy without the use of counter trade. Babangida rolled back counter trade at the behest of his imperialist masters and at the detriment of the Nigerian nation and people.

By the time the Buhari administration was overthrown in August of 1985, Buharinomics was beginning to yield dividends. For example, the inflationary rate had fallen from 23.2% in 1983 to 5.5% in 1985. Nigeria did not regret rejecting the IMF loan because it was meeting its obligation of prompt debt payment and the bartered goods were, to some extent, holding up within the austerity measure which had been in place since the Shagari days. Food was becoming reasonably available for two reasons: (a) The emphasis paid to agriculture had resulted in abundant food harvests, especially yam tubers. (b) The border closure made it impossible for unscrupulous business men to continue smuggling food items into neighboring countries where they sold for twice their value in Nigeria.

Had Buharinomics continued for at least five years, Nigeria would have joined the Asian tigers in economic growth and self reliance. We know that to be true because Babangida came into office and did everything the IMF asked and the Nigerian economy took a dive into the gutter and has not recovered yet.

@GenBuhari:thank u for reminding us of the old fool that plans to steal power from the 20th century in the 21st century.

Manazz:

Win Public sympathy from who exactly? The North that already loves him or the South that extremely hates him for no reason evidently by the fact that since this attack happened you people have been trying so hard to convince anyone who bothers to listen that 'he planned it'.

Which South hates him? They don't O. He still has some love here.

Last election I sang to my relatives "Don't vote for GEJ"...They refused. Now they know better as well as many of my relatives and friends . People are really tired the way looting public funds is on the rampage in GEJ's tenure. Thats why there is so much desperateness by politicians to get into power; so they can loot money thereby causing violence everywhere. They know Buhari Will put an end to it. I just hope other South South states can understand things better.

PS: It's only a free and fair election that will make this happen.

obailala:
Are you aware there were 2 different bomb blasts at clearly different time intervals?
Did you not see the picture of Buhari's convoy and damaged car by the side of the ripped car?

Summary;
Even if it was a staged assassination attempt, your logic is laughable

Did both bombs go off in the same place? Go and get the information first and understand before trying to contradict the claim. There were two different incidences at two different places in Kaduna and I'm talking about the bomb that affected Buhari's convoy

ojimbo: buhari will cry blood if after all the campaign propaganda and he looses

a serial loser is a serial loser.apc bring him on.what an easy win once more.

Am I the only one that noticed theer are no shattered glass on the supposed buhari's vehicle or is it also bomb proof

topics like this should not only be on front page, but it should be taken serious by any nation interested in unravelling the quagmire of boko haram.

The only party getting the boot come 2015 is the APC party for desperadoes.



The desperadoes have failed and will fail come 2015. Buhari will never get the chance to islamise Nigeria, never.

i know you were gonna quote me. now listen, not every Nigerian is as stup1d and dunce as you are, you just watch movies and don't learn from it. let it be known to you that we can no longer accommodate childish gimmicks from our politicians.

The story only makes me love Buhari more. The op foolishly forgot that d said Dikko stole public fund and bail abroad. it only takes a gutted incorruptible head of state to go to that length to bring him to books. Not an inept clueless jona that dines and wines with corrupt public officers. The kind of Buhari is wat we need.

ziryboy: Useless story

looks like a creation from a movie scene of nicolas cage i saw of late

See the way Boko haram follows Buhari. Bad thing no good Oooooo.


Everywhere he goes the smell of death follows. Nigerians don't want death for a President


Buhari has caused this country too much problem and death, if he is allowed to smell Aso Rock, even more will die.

So Nairaland has finally been bought over by PDP to the point that this stupid useless post/thread gets to the Front Page
