Wake-Up Nigerians; once a
General he is always a General
2015-03-28 13:12
Wake-up Nigerians and see the reality of
life here in this country. How many of us
in this country really want the progress
and development of this country? How
many of us have contributed to the
development and progress of this country?
How many of us have kneed down at every
given time we pray for ourselves, to also
pray for our President, to leads us well?
In Nigerian Military Force, it is widely
accepted that once a man is a General, he
is always a General. On that ground, when
a General is retired. At least he must be
assigned with two military securities
officers who will be guarding and securing
him and his households 24/7 on yearly
basic until he is dead.

Haram success on eve of polling
As a General also when he is retired, he
has more respect, power and authority
even more than a richest civilian man in
that country. Because of the above three
characteristic attributed to the retired
General, if he is given opportunity to head
any position, he will still be bold, powerful
and authoritative more than a civilian
man. He will be bold and powerful to do
whatsoever that comes into his mind
without thinking of the future
consequences.
On the above issue, I have three good
examples from the rule of General
Olusegun Obasanjo (retired). These are:
(1). When this General was a Military Head
of State, he was first to increase price of
Petroleum Products. So automatically
when he became a Civilian President, he
increased the price of Petroleum Products
six times (6x). And he also said that
petroleum products were not made for
the poor and that even though fuel price
was increased to N200 that Nigerians will
still buy.

(2) When the retired General was then
Head of States, he uses his military power
and authority to bring down whosoever
that disobey his order, even though his
order were for wrong purpose, such they
will say obey the last order. When this
General was elected a civilian president,
we saw how he leveled down some crisis
communities in Nigeria without
negotiation or dialogue for the sake of the
innocent citizenry.
(3) During the military era of then Head
of States anyone who found fault on his
rulership would be dealt with, without
mercy. As he became elected President, he
also dealt with lots of statesmen who try
to oppose him of corrupt practice and
hardship on the masses. A good example
was that of then Labour president which
leads to tearing the leadership of the
union into three. By this the overall union
president could not have power and
authority to enforce strike action as
before when he was overall head of the
labour union. Also up till now, we have
not heard about the outcome of the death
of Bola Igie and some other statesmen
Nigerians don’t care to find out why they
just disappeared.
Therefore, if a retired military general
known as Christian, (which Christianity
teaches, love, kindness and forgiveness)
can do the above and cause hardship on
Nigerians, who also said that petroleum
products were not made for the poor and
the poor could not even see kerosene to
use. How much more a man who accepted
sharia law with all his heart (which sharia
law permits killing and punishments’ of all
kind) do or acts to the masses. My
question now is that, do Nigerians want or
need progress and development or they
want setback and failure?
Also Read: Nigeria must set 'high
standard' for elections: UN
Nigerians have you all found out what the
regime of General M. Buhari (retired) was
best known of? Do Nigerians care to know
why Gen. Buhari regime was cut so short?
No way, none cares about leadership role
in Nigeria as long as the retired General is
voted for. Nigerians believe that anyone
that will emerge as president is accepted
by God, well God want you to know that
he has done his own part and that you as
a person, should do your own part
because he cannot force anyone on us as
a president. God Almighty has given us
opportunity to make Nigeria develop and
become great, but the trick of the devil is
to make us not to see anything good in
this our present leadership. God cannot
come down to vote for a good person, but
he has placed in us the quality to identify
a good, a kind and gentle leader with
developmental qualities. Leaders with a
shepherd’s heart not a ruler with a lion’s
heart.
We can see that since the president start
his leadership role, we have not heard
about unnecessary death, attack or jailed
terms for the top people in the
government or for those that criticize the
presidency. Even the president vow that
he will not shed blood and because of
this, he gave opportunity to the insurgent
for dialogue and to call for amnesty, but
they refuses. The president disregard
them, thinking that they will come back to
accept dialogue but no way. Now if the
president wipes out the insurgents God
will not find him guilty of murdering those
insurgents. The retired General Obasanjo
is now out to say that the insurgent have
their grievances, as a man with the spirit
of God we should know that this is the
tricked of the devil to continue to operate
under insurgency and if they are given
chance for dialogue, they will reinforce
and strike again.
There are also three things only I want to
highlight that make General M. Buhari not
a man Nigerians want or need now. These
are: (1) When General Buhari was the
head of states, he did not allow anything
like freedom of speech. This process made
lots of Nigerians to fall into their trap
when they introduced War Against
Indiscipline. And today if you as individual
accept to vote for the retired General and
he won, even though the sitting President
have sign to law freedom of speech, it will
be very difficult for the retired General to
carry it out. Do Nigerians think if it was
retired General they criticize the way they
criticize the sitting President those
involved will be alive without hurts or
jailed today?
(2) When he was head of states, he
arrested and detained some top men in
the government and house arrested the
civilian president Shagari, who is now
90years of age. If Buhari is elected, he
will use almost two years to deal with all
the top men and political leaders,
whoever contested against him in the
country, none will be spared except
General Obasanjo(retired), General Gowon
(retired), General Abdusallam Abubakar
(retired). Nigerians should know by now
that General Buhari never had a heart of
forgiveness.
(3) When Buhari was head of states, it was
not a crime to use or trade on drugs with
anyone. Instead of him to pardon the two
Nigerians found with drugs, and make a
law that none should be found with drugs,
he back dated a law and killed those two
Nigerians. Mind you, if the General is
being elected as president since drugs is
already crime and none is with drugs, the
general will change pattern to enslave
people by introducing law against strong
drinks, liquors and spirits through sharia
law. And anyone found drinking or trading
with it will be arrested and jailed.
Do Nigerians really care to know the five
reasons (5) why General Buhari (retired)
want to come back even when he promise
not to contest again. The reasons are: (1)
He wants to reclaim back a company
known as APC which he awarded contracts
to when he was a minister of PTF- which
the CEO, Buhari’s relative die after
president Obasanjo seized the company.
Have this in mind that he might claim
back some private companies to be
Federal Government Companies. (2) He
want your votes as a president, so that he
can deal with those journalists and
newspaper companies that published that
he shed tears at the last 2011 election and
to those politicians that contributed to his
failure in all the elections he has ever
contested. (3) This is a time for him to
perfect that which he has started before.
To make sharia law binding in the
constitution, which he thought it is the
way forward to stop corruption. (4) To
stop Amnesty funding in Niger Delta for
the purpose made for. And mind you, he
may decide to back date a law to kill
those, who were involved in the militancy
even when they are on amnesty role. (5)
When Buhari was a military head of states,
he sack 30, 000 Force men in the name of
cutting short cost. If he is voted into
power he will recruits new military
officers and retired all Generals and sack
all officers from 50years and above. As he
is ready to tell Nigerians that those he
relief from military force are not active
enough to fight insurgency in the country.
Note: Be warned! As they always say,
what a man knows how to do best; he will
always do it at anytime or any day, even
in his sleep or dreams.

Thank u my President. my chaplet will still b in water praying for ur success.
whatever is yr wish for Nigeria n Nigerians shall come to pass.IJN Amen

Very well written.

President-Elect Muhammadu Buhari did not mention the 'ECONOMY' in this speech. If he does not mention the ECONOMY in the formal speech he has promised to give, I won't bother listening to him on May 29, 2015. Cheers.

Much is expected from you. Make sure you keep to your promises.

Our democracy is gradually growing

[size=15pt]Nigerian's pls help a student,who is in trouble.
I have been seeking help,for over one month now and it is not yet coming.all the people that called,just disappointment.
Am sorry for bringing this kind of issue here,but I have no option than to seek help.anywere.I can get..
I don't want to go into my personal details.
that would be for anyone who ask of it but I just want to say a little about my ordeal..
I am a student of NOUN university,who had been doing well.
I am responsible for my school fees,right from primary school,cos my dad didn't see any need,giving us eduction,but deep inside me.I refused to subcribe to his ideology and I wanted the best for my family,cos our condition was terrible,financially.
My mom had to take care of the education of 7 of us,has the first.I couldn't stand the sight of seeing her go through all does suffering.
Just to give us eduction,so I left home and started hustlin from primary 5 and I took care of my school fees right from then till I graduated from secondary,now am in the university and was doing well,until I invested all I had in an importation business which leta turned out to be a scam,now am down to zero.
My school fees is dew, for a long time now.
I don't even attend lectures and facing possiblilty of bein withdrawn from school.
I would have gone for student loan,but I have tried to secure a student loan before,when I got scholarship to study outside and needed money for my papers,but it was frustrating cos I have no one to stand for me.

The amount in question is,N52,000 and am ready to work for it,if necessary.
I am not saying you should dash me the money,a loan will be well appreciated and am ready to use all my school,birth,state of origin cartificate's, infact all my earthly possesion as a collectorall for the loan
Pls nigerian's. I know so many people bring fake story about such matters online,so am ready to corporate with anybody who can help verify this story.I live in abuja.

THIS YOUR STORY GET AS E BE. AM STUDENT OF NOUN AND THERE IS NO LECTURE GIVEN IN NOUN ALSO NO BODY WITHDRAWS YOU FOR NOT PAYING FEES. YOU SHOULD HAVE CARRIED OUT A RESEARCH B4 POSTING.

barcanista:
Nice one Mr President-elect. We hope they you allow us freedom to criticise your government fiercely like your party did to the Jonathan's government. I wish you well Sir!

Like PDP didn't criticise him?

Nice one. We must all work together to make Nigeria better.

sai baba

Rahmatuparker:
Nice one Mr President Elect. B @ peace with everybody. Don't hold grudge with anybody. Let by gone be by gone. Victory comes from God alone.

Guy u dey fear say buhari go send u too to jail?

The story of a man who never gives up. Next line of action for the general is to prepare a place in kirikiri prison for all those corrupt thiefs who stole our oil money. Alison madueke,okwonjo iweala et al. you people should get ready to vacate that seat of power,asari dokubo i am still waiting for the war you said will happen if GEJ looses.

I congratulate you on your victory, and the president for allowing democracy to thrive under his watch.

Now that you're there, choose your cabinet members wisely, learn from the mistake of your predecessor who in spite of being a good man chose to surround himself with thieves, mediocres, praise singers and boot lickers.

Learn to govern by the rule of law, prove your critics wrong who think you are an unrepentant tyrant and extremist.

Forgive those who offended you in one way or the other during these election period. Do not hold malice against any State or zone of the country, let the impart of your governance be felt by all in spite of State, tribe, religion or party affiliation.

Cut down on wasteful spending on frivolous things, cut down the huge spending of our scarce resources on the National Assembly. Enthrone competence than nepotism.

You have promised us change and we believe you, even though we know that some of those canvassing for the change with you are also responsible for the rot in the polity. Let wisdom guide you.

Let your government foster the much needed unity and love among us, shun tribalism, nepotism, favouritism and fanaticism.

On a final note, remember that four years isn't such a long time, if you fail to meet up with the yearnings of the people, you would surely be booted out. And in case this happens, be humble and gentlemanly to bow out like Jonathan.

My prayer for you is, may God protect and preserve you, and help you not to disappoint Nigerians. Amen.

One love, Nigeria!

Where is FFK o. Femi-Fani Kayode

at least now the dog and the baboon won't be soaked in blood
if Buhari had lost, hundreds would be dead by now

Anyway, It's all good
