wonderful...what a great achievement!!!.
But some ppl will be busy abusing/hating buhari,but they can't change anything about him.

Buhari is a retired army general(some army officers have spent 30yrs in the army untill retirement without reaching the rank of colonel)..Buhari was a president in nigeria(in 80's),He was a governor,he was a Minister,and now again,a president in this great country...Some ppl(buhari's haters) can't/have not achieve that throughout their generation..

Who do you think hates him? The question should be how has all these 'achievements' translated to good governance from him & his party?

There is NO President that can guarantee the security of 100% of his citizens. I think every normal person realizes this but still makes these idxxtic statements just for fun. Trump has not stopped more than three high schools massacres in the US, Jonathan did not stop Chibok or the kidnappings of his own relatives. The point we make in security is proactiveness and don't steal the funds

But the suspects in the high school shootings have been arrested and facing prosecution. But in Nigeria the killers are at large and continues killing. Even Trump knew Buhari is incompetent.

that aint what we wanna see.
Re: CV Of Muhammadu Buhari by RonJeremy: 2:17am On May 05, 2018
Frankly can’t see anything achieved by the dullard..... No education there, all are either “honorary” or military positions that were internal military political appointments. Nigerian Army is a tribal organisation and that is why ther are unprofessional and amongst the worst in the world.... can’t defeat ragtag Boko Haram comes to mind.

The most important is he was and is a coup plotter and served ILLEGALLY in ILLEGAL regimes...

But that goes under the African sun with Blacks.

No wonder the ARABS continue with slave trade despite billions of blacks around because nothing go happen

angry angry

Joined Military in 1963

Became Major General in 1983

Buhari rose to the rank of Major General in less than 20 Years of serving in the Army........... shocked

..........without passing any officers course home n abroad(apart from certificate of attendance according to El Rufai)

He was always holding one position of authority or the other because he was a senior member of the Northern Mafia in the Army headed by Muritala Mohammed and run by Shehu Yar'adua n TY Danjuma.

No be today yansh dey back
