Buhari Must learn how to listen to advice to aviod what is about to happen to Nigeria, Nigeria will explode – IBB






Former Military President, Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida in a rare interview with a team from Zero Tolerance (ZT), a quarterly magazine published by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, at his Hill Top mansion in Minna, Niger State, reminisces on why he led a coup that toppled the regime of Muhammadu Buhari and why he approved the killing of his bosom friend, Mamman Vatsa.

Excerpts from the interview seen by Premium Times, Babaginda said: “We planned a coup towards the end of 1983 that truncated the democratically elected government and the military government came in January 1984. Then that government also suffered the same fate as the democratic government when the military staged one of the finest coup in this country, because there was no blood, nothing was lost, smooth and everybody was treated with the most civility and our administration came.

“When we came in August of 1985 there was a plan to kick us out in December 1985, it didn’t work, they went into operation again in 1990. I think the country was going through a phase at that time, it’s a developing country and we always had one reason or the other for doing what we did at that time”.

On his alleged rift with Gen Buhari, IBB said: “A coup or change comes about if there is frustration in the society. Just get that right. There was frustration in the society between 1984 to 1985. The ground was fertile for a coup. It wasn’t fertile, thanks be to God, in December, 1985 when the first attempt on me was made



“Neither was it fertile in April 1990 when the second attempt was made and we had the support of all of you sitting down here. You write, you analyze, you talk, and you demonstrated. It was not unusual then to hear, in the case of the democratically elected government in1983, a common phase was ‘the worst military regime is better than this government’’.

“So you were giving us the impetus to stage a coup. We are not dummies. If we didn’t have the support of all of you, we wouldn’t venture into it.”

On his alleged wealth, IBB simply replied that he lived on his pension. On corruption in his government IBB said: “Back in 1986, Cooperative Boards as we knew them then was an institution bedeviled by corrupt practices. An ordinary farmer brings his products, the board is there to assess it as either grade one ,two or three.

“A lot of things went wrong, so what we did was to encourage the farmer to go to the end users, negotiate. The end user will also inspect what you have. So the farmer is talking to you directly, no middle man or anything because the corruption starts where the middle man is.

“Once you have identified areas that are prone to corruption, the next thing is to eliminate them and get the people educated. In the case of foreign exchange for example, you needed to go to the Central Bank or to the banks before you could get foreign currencies but by establishing the bureau de change, you could walk in there, exchange the money and put it in your pocket, go on with your business and you are not robbing anybody.

“One of the things to avoid, especially in government institutions, is too much control, where there is a lot of control corruption easily manifest itself. So you look at where there is a lot of control, try to do away with it and then things will work for the people”.

Okay

This government doesn't take advices

He vehemently dont want to, but my people has a word for blocked minds like his'. "The stuborn fly follows the corpse to the gave".

the country is no longer workable.

Buhari was referring to himself when he said
"We shall not allow irresponsible elements to start trouble and when things get bad they run away and saddle others with the responsibility of bringing back order, if necessary with their blood."

Buhari is trying to create a problem then run away die and saddle others with the responsibility of bringing back order, if necessary with their blood.

Buhari has ear problems, so he is semi-deaf. He can't hear you.

Double post

First off , I do not believe IBB granted this interview.

But, let's assume he did. . .I find these bits interesting. . .

There was frustration in the society between 1984 to 1985. The ground was fertile for a coup. It wasn’t fertile, thanks be to God, in December, 1985 when the first attempt on me was made



“Neither was it fertile in April 1990 when the second attempt was made and we had the support of all of you sitting down here. You write, you analyze, you talk, and you demonstrated.

Those the gods wants to kill
They first make mad



A mad man like buhari cannot see beyond his nose and won't take any advice

Buhari is too stubborn to hear.

It never directly affects him or his family so why should he care? Facts are he doesn't

After drinking our oil dey will not put any igbo name on d list

IBB one of the worse things that happened to the contraception called Nigeria.

The serious economic woes of Nigeria started with his ill advised structural adjustment programme, which from that point on, our economy started nosediving, boycotting a democratically elected government was another serious misdemeanor from this guy.

I am not surprised though, those who should hide their face in shame are always the ones dishing out advices all over the place like they know better or had done better when they had the chance

So Ibo youths are now listening to IBB?..LOL. What a waste?
So it is true they are lovers of corruption. Lovers of looting. By the way, some oil blocks in the Niger Delta were awarded to some northern companies by the same IBB so if your cursed inferiority, lack of direction and fear of Buhari has chased you into IBB's arms very good. Maybe it is in your destiny to be losers. Ope. Ode.

.The fella up there now gives no shit about any advice like the proverbial stubborn fly that follows the corpse into the grave.

Advice will soon take him

k

na person wey get ear dey listen na. he get ear virus so no need

It is clear that many here comment only based on just the headline.

This news is not credible.

If you are not Mamman Daura or Abba Kyari, forget your advice... PMB

Saint IBB .

I can only pity Buhari in advance and wished for him to keep playing stubborn. Something is about to happen only those who have eyes can see it

Super story

that reminds me ,of a story in the bible ,i'm not sure ,but i thing it happen when GOd wanted to take his children out of egypt,he made their king stuborn , completly daft to any advise !!!

Advise fr who? an ex dictator who magnified corruption beyond borders

Trying hard to incite the military against a democratically elected and performing government. Military coup will be totally resisted, even with our blood.

Buhari doesn't appreciate differences nor does he understand the complexities in governing Nigeria. - IBB 1985 after overthrowing Buhari.
Are we still suprise at the actions of the vegetable? IBB warned you but you refused to listen, now Buhari is ruling Nigeria like Daura Kingdom. Enjoy your change.
