According to the writeup , Fela was guilty of the offence , You all think Buhari should have looked the other way , But in reality it was court that sentenced him , so what's wrong with people ?

All this pea brained eidiats mentioning me up and down, did Fela have to keep all the monies on him ? a law is a law if he had given each one of them their 50 each , he wouldn't have been arrested


Did Buhari put the monies in his pocket ? why is everyone saying Buhari arrested him for being a critic , Shey Buhari used JUJU to keep all the money in Fela's hands ? bunch of nincoompoops

As much as dislike Buhari now, I can't stand in the face of a lie. Making it seem like both saraki and Fela didn't have a case and they were just arrested for nothing

I still remember clearly the day he was arrested at the airport with the excess foreign cash on him. The news was carried on the 9pm NTA network news. The cameras were on him and he looked obviously downcast because he knew he had broken the law.

When Babangida came to power and released him it was purely a populist move for which Fela did not show any gratitude, and instead released a song in which he sang "animal wan dash me human rights".

For your benefit....

"An accusation that Fela’s defense did not deny but explained by pointing to the 45 people in the retinue of the musician. And 1600 divided by 45 is nowhere near 50. This did not impress the judges who sentenced Fela to five years imprisonment."

He was travelling with a retinue of 45 people, each entitled to 50 pounds

45 x 50 = 2,250

he had 1,600 pounds on him

Next...

See as you do mathematics for the olodos following their illiterate leader who ran from school to join the army and has been a government pikin since then chopping free food that others worked for.

Atleast niger republic residency for zombies shouldn't be hard to afford.


You know, when they say posterity will judge, I keep wondering what that statement means!

now I understand because the present is not too kind with Buhari's past. The worst part is he keeps making the same mistake out of stubbornness and from the way I see it, I am not sure the future will be kind to his present either.

But am sure you read the part where they mentioned that he had a large entourage and the funds were for the entourage. Once you are brought before a kangaroo court, you are guilty as charged.

Re: Fela Charged With Armed Robbery By Buhari Government In 1984 by stagger: 8:33am On Jun 04, 2018
Thank God I was very much alive and kicking in 1984. Fela was jailed for currency trafficking and economic sabotage. FX controls were instituted by the Buhari/Idiagbon military junta to prevent the politicians of the 2nd republic from siphoning their ill-gotten funds abroad.

The intentions of that law were good, but as always happens with human nature, the interpretation of the law and the application became objects of abuse. The law was used in hounding political opponents such as Fela who was travelling for a music concert, and he was arrested and given a 5-year jail sentence. He was released in 1986 after Babangida had assumed office. To IBB's credit, many of the political prisoners of the Buhari era such as Tunde Thompson, Nduka Irabor and several ex-governors who were locked up without trial were set free.

Fela was not jailed for armed robbery. I do not know who is spinning this falsehood!

Sharrap Dia.
Fela was obviously targeted because of his bold criticism of the government.

In the same Buhari administration, 52 suitcases belonging to an Emir, alleged to have been full of foreign currencies, went right through the same security agencies at the same airport without as much as a question.
Buhari has never been a man of any iota of integrity, and will never be.

What you quoted was what sold Buhari to a lot of people. People actually thought the man was credible.

If you were around during Buhari's first stint, you'd have been aware of his unfairness of the past. The youths brought Buhari to power. Most Yorubas in their 50s knew how high handed Buhari is.

Why do you think Buhari didn't garner up to 10% of votes in the SW, SE or SS prior to 2015? Buhari was refined by Tinubu and painted by Akande and then sold as a saint.

Buhari is/was not high handed.
Buhari is a fraudulent hypocrite who said that Abacha did not steal our money despite several billions recovered as loot from him.

Buhari only seeks power for the purpose of dealing with his imaginary enemies. He has nothing for the people.
Buhari is a monumental error of gargantuan proportions that must be corrected in 2019!

Everyone has forgotten that Obasanjo killed Fela’s mom , Yar’adua dealt with Fela and lots like that happened to other prominents persons under different military regimes and suddenly Buhari is the devil because the court jailed Fela for flouting the law.
Obasanjo that killed a whole Odi community in Bayelsa and destroyed everything there is still a saint.
Bunch of jokers . Yes we all love Fela for his good music and outspokenness but he really did not care much about the law. Maybe he would have lived longer if he did. I love Fela and he will always be a legend but he flouted too many laws and never cared what would come out of it.
