Just because you typed in block letters does not mean you are making sense. Is what Ben said true or not?

Dr. Junaid is suffering from poor memory of History by saying that Buhari overthrown Late Sheu Shagari's government in 1983. Buhari was never part of the coup that terminated the NPN government of Shagari. Buhari became Head of State as a result of the junta inabilty to pick a leader among themselves perhaps because of the death of Brigadier Bako who was killed by National Guards protecting Shagari then. The faith the young soldiers had in Buhari's personality led to his selection to be the Head of State after they had succeeded with the coup. Buhari became Head of State as a matter of necessity, so Junaid should keep quiet for ever.
Junaid knows the truth but just trying to confused those who were too young then and the generality of our youths.

POINT OF CORRECTION!

PMB WAS NOT THE ONE THAT OVERTHROW SHAGARI.

THE SENIOR ARMY GENERALS DID.

HE WAS NOT EVEN IN THE COUNTRY WHEN SHAGARI WAS OVERTHROWN .

HE HAD TO BE RECALLED FROM A TRAINING OVERSEAS TO COME AND LEAD THE NEW GOVERNMENT IN ORDER TO GIVE THE NEW GOVERNMENT CREDIBILITY!

Why is Mr. Bruce fixated on ethnic politics; with the Igbo as his reference point? Can't he talk about Shagari's death without bringing Igbo into it? Is the average Ijaw man better than the Igbo in Nigeria? What gives minions like Mr. Bruce, FFK and Fayose the impetus to act as spokesmen for Igbo renaissance?

Awolowo is responsible for ushering in a military coup that ousted shagari.

Reeling from his loss at the polls, Awolowo will deploy the Lagos-Ibadan presatitutes to demonize the Shagari civilian administration with so much negative propaganda - the likes of which was only repeated again by same SW presstitutes who were deployed by Tinubu to attack Jonathan's govt with the sleaziest form of propaganda that can only be described as slanderous. It was on this corruption propaganda that Buhari used to justify a coup just as they claimed Buhari will recover phantom looted funds that they claimed Jonathan stole.

The same Awo will justify the coup as a necessary evil thinking Buhari will conduct elections and hand over to him. Same thing Tinubu is repeating. Yorubas and Igbos are the ones that give these backward norrthners the audacity to demand they rule you. The Igbos are guilty of propping up northern political domination because it is them that are threatened when the north decides to unleash their greatest weapon - mob violence. If the Igbos relocated from the north, will the north unleash mob violence on themselves? And if they did, will any of us in the south care? As for the Yorubas, they give the north the legal backing by their constant twisting of logic, slander and lies on any southern leadership and their ability to constantly virtue signalling while being guilty of what they accuse you of.

I'd gladly do same if I were Buhari. Are you guys cursed with amnesia and does corruption run in your fucking blood that you won't appreciate when evil people that brought this Country to her knees are made to pay for their sins.
May Shehu Shagari's soul rest in peace but fact remains he was the Atiku of his time. History won't be kind on him as his legacy lives after him. Period!

Deadlytruth:


Buhari took power Dec. 31 1983, so if foreign reserves started dippeing on Dec. 1 1983, then it means it started under Shagari who was still in power as at Dec. 1 1983 to Dec. 31 same year.
Also recall that Operation Ghana-must-go which was the government's response to Nigeria's rapidly falling economy was launched by the Shagari-Ekweme government....an evidence that the recession of the 80s actually started under Shagari due to the monumental looting and misrule that formed the hallmarks of the NPN government.

Go and buy stolen goods knowing fully well that the goods in question were stolen.

Even if we should exonerate Buhari from being actively involved in executing the coup we should hold him accountable for not honoring the oath of loyalty to Shagari his CnC.

Officers have been executed for less talk more of Buhari who benefited from the coup the most. The case of an officer who was executed alongside Gideon Okah for knowing that a coup was in the making but refused to inform his superiors. This same officer was detained by Buhari after he reported the coup plot against Shagari. During IBB, he was aware of a coup plot but because he suffered arrest when he informed on Buhari's coup plot, he chose to remain silent. He was executed alongside the coupists not as an active conspirator but for failing to inform his superior officers.

Now of that Yoruba officer can be executed for not informing on a coup he knew was on the way but to which he had no part in, then what do you expect the fate of Buhari to be?
