How many like for the general. #SaiBuhari

From your post, did you realise about 98% of the countries mentioned are in Africa, little wonder Africa is where it is today, even the retirement age in civil service is 65yrs and you think with leaders in this age bracket Africa will move forward and become a force to reckon with. Leaders of today think and stop being dogmatic and unconcerned about your future.

Is that y a grand pa should causing problems in his country all in the name of wanting to get power...?

Google what they achieved and did for their country then u wont b telling me 98% are from africa.. Even at old age they performed better than those who are younger.. I bliv in chanqe but i dnt knw if u do

I guess they transformed their countries to compete with the developed world and their citizens are happy for it. Smh

1. Majority of the countries listed above are in Africa,little wonder the backwardness of the region.
2. Reagan was president which year? What were his antecedents? What was his legacy.


All the leaders listed above mostly have the following in common: have no dark past hovering over them, are not termed as bigots and religious fanatics, suffered human right abuse not Pa Buhari's case of him - the inflicting party,have made great contribution to the development of their whole nation and have a basic education.

The best president Africa has ever produced MADIBA NELSON MANDELA he became president at 76 and he perform creditably well all other president who became president at the age of 72 and above are doing really good in their various country. What young man failed to do Old man can do it better. PHD holder has failed let our GENERAL DO IT SAI BUHARI

don't forget muagbe

sultan003:


what did biya, museveni, tedoro and mugabe achieve for their countries?

Mugabe chased out WHITE African farmers. Ain't that an achievement

binie:




Mugabe chased out WHITE African farmers. Ain't that an achievement

And the country's economy became very useless even with its impressive educational system. Is that what you call an achievement? if so why did he become enemies with madiba?

Because Madiba failed to send WHITE South Africans away.

Mandela sacrificed his life fighting for his country and got the reward.
On the other hand Buhari surrendered his country to a junior officer without putting up a fight, a weak man.

If its this Buhari that I know oooo! Biko, even if he is 100yrs old, I will Vote for him 10 times. I hav voted somebody in his 50s, and its clear he doesn't hav a clue on how to take us forward, but to put the security of this Nation in the hands of Militants. Abeg, SAI BUHARI ooo
