I came across this breathtaking revelation about the
controversial documentary aired on AIT about General
Muhammadu Buhari so i thought of sharing it here.Enjoy...


Each of the Big Fat Lies I have identified are
VERIFIABLE facts that people can check for
themselves by simply going online and checking the
archives, or by searching for newspapers and TV
programs for the relevant period. The people at AIT
should know by now, that in this internet age,
anyone can access information that only few people
had previously, WITH VERY LITTLE HARD-WORK,
So, here are the 9 shameful lies that AIT and its
reporters who put together that show of shame
called a documentary tried to impose on Nigerians:

BIG FAT LIE #1: THE DOCUMENTARY CLAIMED THE
MAITATSINE RIOTS STARTED DURING BUHARI
REGIME – A simple-fact check online will reveal
that the Maitatsine riots started in 1980, and the
riots in which over 3,000 people died actually
occurred from 1975 -1982, many years before Buhari
came to power. In fact, Maitatsine was KILLED in
one of the riots in 1980 though some of his
adherents still did some damage up to 1984. Anyone
can read the genesis, history and demise of the
Maitatsine Sect at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/
Maitatsine and other respected websites on the
internet.
Truth be told, unlike the lack luster campaign we
have witnessed under Jonathan against the Boko
Haram sect, the Maitatsine sect was actually
CRUSHED during the Buhari regime, and its leaders
scattered to Cameroon, when Buhari sent an
overwhelming military force to confront them in
1984. Again, this happened in my school activism
days so I know what I am talking about. Also, the
objective history books and websites still online
support this history. Yet, AIT shamelessly tried to
claim that religious riots started under Buhari.

BIG FAT LIE #2.THE DOCUMENTARY CLAIMED
BUHARI EXPELLED GHANIANS FROM NIGERIA –
This is also a verifiable lie. Simply Google or ask
any Ghanaian old enough at the time. It was
President Shehu Shagari of NPN who first expelled
over 1,000,000 Ghanaians in 1983 in the infamous
‘Ghana-Must-Go’ inicdent, as some sort of
retaliation for what the Ghanaians did to Nigeria in
1969. This was BEFORE Buhari came to power. You
can check the facts yourself from this 1983 story by
New York Times: http://
www.nytimes.com/1983/02/02/world/by-land-and-
sea-they-stream-from-nigeria.html

BIG FAT LIE #3. THE DOCUMENTARY CLAIMED
GLORIA OKOH, THE DRUG CARIRER DISAPPEARED
FROM JUSTICE UNDER BUHARI – Another lie from
the pit of hell. We all know the Gloria Okon fake
‘death’ and disappearance saga happened under
Ibrahim Babanginda after he overthrew Buhari. In
fact, the late Dele Giwa was rumored to have been
bombed to eternity AFTER Buhari had been
overthrown, for being too nosy about what really
happened. I remember very well how Gani
Fawehinmi fought a gallant battle to bring the
perpetrators to justice. Again, the person most
people accused at the time was Ibrahim Babangida,
who overthrew Buhari, and NOT Buhari himself.

BIG FAT LIE #4. THE DOCUMENTARY CLAIMED
FELA IDENTIFIED BUHARI IN THE $2.8BILLION OIL
MONEY SCANDAL IN HIS SONG – This is a big lie.
Fela’s song about the missing money is still
available EVERYWHERE. I have a copy of it and
have listened to it again just in case I didn’t listen
well before. Truth is FELA NEVER MENTINED
BUHARI’S NAME. He only mentioned OBJ and
ABIOLA. Of course the AIT people disingenuously
edited that part of the tape out when they played
Fela’s music in their documentary. This is definite
proof they DELIBERATELY LIED otherwise why not
let the song play to the point where names were
mentioned?

BIG FAT LIE #5. THE DOCUMENTARY CLAIMED
THAT BUHARI HAD A HAND IN THE DEATH OF
FELA’S MOTHER- FUNMILAYO RANSOME KUTI.
Again, a simple fact check by my 6 year old
daughter would reveal that Fela’s mother died after
Olusegun Obasanjo invaded the KALAKUTA Republic
of Fela in 1978. It was OBJ that ordered the house
of his former Abeokuta Baptist Grammar School
mate to be burnt down over his criticism of OBJ
government. I remember that one very well because
our house was a walking distance from Fela’s shrine
then and we all rushed to witness the ‘unknown
soldier’ saga play out in living colors and I saw
Fela’s mother actually being thrown out of the
window from upstairs by soldiers loyal to OBJ. Fela
even released a song about it WELL BEFORE Buhari
even came power more than 6 years later in 1984.

BIG FAT LIE #6. THE DOCUMENTARY CLAIMED
BUHARI IMPRISONED INNOCENT POLITICIANS.
This is one of the most unfortunate lies of the whole
sordid documentary. The fact of history shows that
All Politicians that was sentenced to prison by the
1984 Military Tribunal were found to have either
enriched themselves with public funds or diverted
public funds. None of them were convicted by fiat.
Even the President Jonathan they were trying to
help did not really say the politicians were innocent.
He only said there should have been a difference
between STEALING AND FRAUD! He said someday
stole ‘only N5m’ and was given 15 years jail or
someone stole money that was not enough to buy a
Volkswagen and was sentenced to life. LWKMD! A
government thief is a THIEF, whether N1 or N100M.
THEY WERE ALL TRIED, not by Buhari but by a
properly constituted tribunal, even though it was a
military tribunal. In any case, how any sane person
who was an adult in 1983 could argue that people
like Umaru Dikko, Akinloye, Ambrose ALLI and even
Ekwueme were innocent is beyond me.

BIG FAT LIE #7. THE DOCUMENTARY CLAIMED
THAT BUHARI HAS BEEN LOSING SINCE Buhari
1999. This is a lie. Buhari’s first shot was in 2003.
In 1999, it was Chief Olu Falae of ANPP/AD that
contested against Obj. In any case why does it
matter if he contested so many times and lost?
Many great leaders have lost countless elections
before finally getting a chance. Even the Great
Obafemi Awolowo and the Great Nnamdi Azikiwe
also contested many times too without winning, but
I don’t see AIT criticizing that!

BIG FAT LIE #8. THE DOCUMENTARY CRITICISED
BUHARI FOR HIS STEWARDSHIP OF PTF –Yet the
truth remains that he was vigorously investigated by
the vengeful OBJ and NOTHING was found on him.
Even OBJ recently confessed that the Fraud
investigation report did not find anything against
Buhari. Still that did not stop the lying journalists at
AIT from claiming he was corrupt as the PTF leader
though they could not show any proof.

BIG FAT LIE #9. THE DOCUMENTARY CLAIMED
THAT BUHARI OWNED AND BENEFITED FROM
AFRI-PROJECTS CONSORTIUM SCANDALS– While I
definitely agree that the Afri-Project Consortium did
a poor job with the enormous responsibilities it was
given as consultants by the PTF, there is no shred
of evidence to suggest that Buhari is one of its
owners or that he personally benefited from their
operations. It is a testament to the deception behind
this hogwash documentary that the narrator kept
saying ‘APC’ in its presentation of Afri-Projects
Consortium to somehow connect the company with
APC on a mental level. What a shame.
The truth behind this big fat lie is that Afri-Projects
Consortium Ltd is a registered company in Nigeria
and the AIT should have published their Form CO2
AND C07 to show us the real owners. Buhari has
constantly challenged everyone to show proof of any
ill-gotten wealth in his hands and nobody, including
the AIT crew, has been able to do that. The man
still lives in a modest house, and remains the only
former head of state without mansions in Abuja or
elsewhere, and yet these idiots would want us to
believe he stole billions of dollars


THE CONCLUSION OF THE MATTER
Having exposed the Big Fat Lies of AIT in this piece,
I will like to end by pointing out the poetic justice
that nemesis has already meted to Jonathan and
AIT for this hatchet job.
Right after running their sham documentary for the
umpteenth time, they decided to run a flash poll for
Nigerians to choose who their President should be
between Jonathan and Buhari. To their shock and
amazement, they poll showed that over 70% of the
people who voted on the AIT Poll still preferred
Buhari regardless of the shameful lies against him!
With serious egg on their face, and public
embarrassment brought on by the fact that their
little cheap ploy has backfired, the AIT hurriedly
removed the poll and claimed their poll was hacked!
When challenged, they foolishly supplied a text file
to show how the ‘hacking was done’. To add insult
to injury, some good tech people have been able to
demonstrate that AIT even that document of proof of
hacking, was forged by AIT too! Yes, in case you
have not read it, one of the more reputable Nigerian
internet personalities out there, Gbenga Sesan, was
able to demonstrate, in black and white examination
of the data, that the so-called evidence of ‘hacking’
released by AIT was FORGED! Again, don’t take my
word for it, simply go to Gbenga Sesan’s data
analysis on his twitter handle to see for yourself.
The fact that President Jonathan and his paid
supporters are desperate to win at all costs is all
too obvious, even to the blind. It is really annoying
that every time you ask Jonathan’s supporters to
give you a lucid reason why Jonathan should be
returned for another 4 years, all they keep saying is
‘Buhari was a dictator and an Islamist’. Essentially,
their strategy remains, ‘Vote for Jonathan because
Buhari is bad’. What an embarrassment!
Really, someone needs to tell President Goodluck
Jonathan and his hapless strategists that the Red-
herring argument will not work this time around.
Nigerians have seen Jonathan for what he is in the
last 6 years, and no amount of red-herring will
change the minds of right thinking people about him.
President Jonathan needs to go back to Utueke and
let some else try to set the ship of our country
straight from the disastrous waters that he, and his
Cabal of Corruption, have sailed us into in the last 6
years.
This may be HardTalk, but it is True-Talk
nevertheless
