DaGC:
Most of the above posters don't even know when planning and work began on the refinery.

eluquenson:
Are you serious, am sure you ain't blind & you are posting here with the facilities OBJ provided by bringing private investors in telecom to Nigeria. I don't need to mention cos am very sure you a in blind.

Pataki:
Pictures don't lie.

Little wonder OBJ enjoined Buhari to have infrastructure as also one of his cardinal issues when Nigerians vote him in FeBUHARI 14th.

Even back then, these men had the development of Nigeria at heart. Our so-called younger leaders of today are busy stealing from the purse of the nation and arming militants.

Nigeria must CHANGE.

dhardline:


Or the same OBJ who forced all Nigerians using mtn line to forcefully contribute to his account by dialling *555*1*..........Nigerians forget easily.

GMB's visit to my alma mater in March, 1985

Our next president with the former Rector of Federal Polytechnic,Ilaro.

CaptainJason:
Buhari never built any refinery, he was only lucky to be Head of NNPC when one of the projects were commissioned. He did not award any contract, it was never his idea.

Mubarack44:
the labour of our heroes as never be in vain. I rep change.

omonnakoda:
When was he head of NNPC?

CaptainJason:


"In March 1976, the then Head of State, General Olusegun Obasanjo appointed Buhari as the Federal Commissioner (position now called Minister) for Petroleum and Natural Resources. When the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation was created in 1976, Buhari was also appointed as its Chairman, a position he held until 1978."

No contract was awarded during this period
The 4 refineries were awarding in 1963, 1975, 1976 (By Murtala Mohammed Govt), and 1985.
It was after the assasination of Murtala Mohammed on February 13, 1976 that Obasanjo became president and then appointed Buhari as Head of NNPC. The appointment was a way of compensating him after a lower ranking officer to Buhari from his (Katsina) was named Chief of Staff, Supreme Headquarters (Vice President) and double-promoted to Major-General.

brownlord:


Wow, few years to come Shekau will be a blessing in disguise to some folks.

The same OBJ that served 8 years without nothing to show and was aiming 3rd term lobbying the legislators with billions or the same OBJ that ceded bakassi to Cameroon, or the same OBJ that used Operation feed the nation to scam Nigerians and turn it to his private farm?

What a country

omonnakoda:
Very Informative.Please share your source for the claim that no contracts were awarded and also for the 1963,1975 ,76 and 85 where do you get this from ?

brownlord:


You are very very very fooolish, mumu he brought telecoms and paid the companies to supply phones to nigerians right? i thought we bought the phones with our money i could remember my dad buying used line for 20k, so what should i be thanking him for, mumu why not thank him that you are alive or breathing.

Dreambeat:
Imagine people that ruled us in 1978,36 years after,are still jostling for the one position or the other.Fighting to be politically relevant when they should have groomed the youth to take over.This set of leaders failed the youth of this country,they should be held accountable for their misrule and mismanagement.They should not be celebrated.They mortgaged the future of the youths of today.Little wonder the country is in a mess,we had leaders that were not fore sighted.Unfortunately they are everywhere,Governors,Ministers,Permanent Secretaries.Leaders that never believed that you can write a letter in Nigeria and somebody in the US would receive the message in a twinkle of an eye.We need new faces,we can't continue the same old ways.This is the ACTUAL CHANGE we need.

pekeyim:


Who is Atiku?
Ameachi? and co? They are the progressives?


We need continuity to consolidate on gains and progress already made.


If after 4 years they don't meet up. I'll be on the streets calling for even SDP to rule.
