but what exactly is your business with whatever topic he decides to research on, and since when has it become your place to say what a man should and should not research on? berem:
On-going research indeed. You're so jobless that you now research on Buhari and his arrest of Fela which happened decades ago. Why don't you channel your research on Boko Haram and suggest possible ways of ending the insurgency as a saTANist and tell us what JonaTAN has to offer in 2015.

How much is Buhari paying you to destroy Fela's image? Fela is now a bad guy because he questioned Buhari on the stolen $2.5bil at the ministry of which he was head. Haba!
How do you defend the same Buhari allowing 53 suitcases filled with dollars to pass through same airport. Its a pity Fela didn't have a son working as ADC to Buhari like the Emir of Gwandu. god! $2.5B in those days is equivalent to $50B today o. This Buhari is a very wicked man, his sins will locate him for d 4th time and he will cry on TV again, useless, selfish, power hungry pretender. 3 Likes |

When General Muhammadu Buhari came to power, there was wide corruption in the Second Republic. A decree was passed that nobody take out or bring in foreign currency into the country. Offenders are liable to 10years in Jail. This decree was to curb money laundering by politicians and corrupt businessmen.
FELA KUTI
Fela had performed abroad, he was paid in foreign currency in cash and had it on him on his return to Lagos. He was subsequently arrested for breaking the law and was prosecuted, found guilty and jailed.
PLEA:
There was a plea by human right groups to Head of State Buhari to "pardon" Fela, he refused because he believe that the law be served to the letter.
THE OFFENSE, GMB AND FELA:
First, there was an existing law/decree.
Secondly, Fela bringing in cash means it contradicts the law/decree, however, the money is from hard work.
Morally, he's justified! Legally, he is not.
Buhari had refused to grant pardon, because the law was broken. If he grants pardon, some section of politicians will accuse him of preferential treatment. He didn't because he believes in absolute discipline.
By law, he is justified. Morally, he is not, considering that it was Fela's sweat(my opinion). The law does not work with emotion unfortunately.
MY OPINION:
GMB should have pardoned Fela. The law should have made for exception. Buhari should have tampered justice with mercy So, in his greatest wisdom as the head of state, the only way to fight corruption is to stop "in and out flow"of foreign currencies? hahahahahaahahaha! What an expert on how to run the economy of a nation. No wonder the whiteman think we are monkeys. So when you stop the in and flow of such monies, then people wont loot again? Bros, corruption is not in cash! No wonder billions were stolen under his watch as the PTF head: because the financially illiterate general thinks money can only be looted in cash. Perhaps he was busy searching peoples pockets when they close from work! Not knowing that real looting is done on paper. Is not obvious that this man is so clueless? He is a complete illiterate as far finance is concerned. No wonder he came to play on our emotions that he borrowed money to by nomination form! Anyway, let the truth be told! That Fela brought in Dollars "against the law" was an excuse to gag and cage him! Fela was among the few Nigerians who were not scared of Buhari's rascality and abuse stolen power! He was not intimidated by thirst of blood by a tyrant. Power corrupts but absolute power corrupts absolutely! What is the mission of a regime if not for the good of the masses? Yet, we saw a regime that brutalized the people. Buhari is a economic illiterate! Never in the history of government did a federal government fix prices for end products. The man was reckless with power! He fixed how much a retailer should sell milk, biscuit, rice, beans, etc without considering ho much they purchased. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Yeye dey smell! We all know that this world will never get better. the truth is no government in Nigeria has done what jona has done, in the mix of all this distractions. There is no country in the world where d leader put food on the table for his ppl but here they want their leaders to do that which we all know is not possible. Let us wake up and contribute our own quota and stop criticizing them, yes they are all corrupt but what have we done in our various position in our immediate surrounding to make it better? Nigeria will never move forward until the politician released that no matter how much they acquire for themselves they will leave this world with a penny.

LogicPower:
When I was at university, like almost every other student at the time, I was such a fanatical fan of Fela- for exactly the same reason you mentioned here as highlighted. And like millions of other fans of Fela, I felt really bad when our musical hero was jailed by the Buhari regime. Although Fela broke a law, which we all knew he often did, we expected the military junta to 'tamper justice with mercy' but to our disappointment, they didn't.
But even if the incarceration of Fela were to be considered as an act of state injustice and callousness by a military regime under Buhari's leadership, the current situation we are witnessing - of wanton destruction of lives and properties of thousands of innocent Nigerians (of all religious and ethnic backgrounds) and the unprecedented levels of corruption that have been happening under the GEJ's watch - is far worse, and much more atrocious and unforgivable.
I would rather vote for a leader who, in his determined and honest efforts to fight corruption and ensure discipline, would commit a mistake like that of jailing Fela, debatably unfairly, than vote for a 'leader' who would look the other way, and shrug in an I-don't-give-a-damn attitude, as the BH savages continue to spill so much blood of thousands of innocent people and the corrupt elite bask in unprecedented governmental protection.
I am sure if Fela were to be alive today and be given a choice between re-serving the number of days he spent in prison under the Buhari regime and witnessing the current destruction of lives and properties, and the massive corruption taking place under the GEJ's administration, I believe he would choose the respectable and altruistic option of re-serving the jail term and save the lives of the ordinary people who were slaughtered daily as they are betrayed and abandoned by a 'leader' who is so callously unconcerned about their plights.
I fully agree with Dr. Paul Unongo, a former minister and a leading politician in Benue, who concludes that GEJ is a "disaster" to this country. He describes GEJ's nonchalant attitude in protecting the peoples he swore to protect, and his preoccupation with his election, as "immoral" and "sinful".

You yourself may not understand Nigerian politics. All GEJ problem and that of this country are simply Religion and tribalism. The Northern political elites see Nigeria presidency as their birth right and this is where you get 'BORN TO RULE'
As far as our brethren up north are concerned, they have loaned GEJ and the south the presidency and want their power back.
Until the North are prepared to let the country rest and have proper leader, we will continue to have a weak leader like GEJ. But once the man get re-elected, then you are going to see OBJ second term in GEJ.
Nigeria is a comedy, just decide which role you want to play. listen bro, when you are a president,
You have powers, powers to alter the destiny of anyone that stands in your way. Remenber what obj did to globacom executive . Jonathan is the most powerful man in the country, he can use that power to effect change but he's not . Screw the northerners , he has the power to make them fall in line if he wants
