Much has been said of Gen. Buhari on how he fought corruption and enforced discipline in nigeria during his 2.5 yr reign as head of state. Some give the attribute to Idiagbon while others to buhari. What were Gen. Buhari's other achievements for posterity in nigeria during his 2.5yr reign as nigeria's HOS?

You wonder why they cant answer?

Because there were or was none.

Apart from draconian laws, surpressing freedom of the press, death penalties, religious bigotry - no wonder he was removed while his VP was far away in Mecca.

WAI - which bragged about how Nigerians are indisciplined.

The government received an applause because it threw away the Shagari politicians, and for two years, the government was busy prosecuting the governors and ministers while allowing IBB/Abacha to plan against them and over threw them before they can open their eyes.

Poster you have internet access, so I suggest you use it.

Try starting here

www.thenationonlineng.net/web3/editorial/opinion/22770.html

from there do more research.

I suspect this thread was a lure to beat down whatever anyone brought up as a positive for Buhari, so i'll tell you one thing "if you want to destroy someone you must not be afraid to be his friend".

Believe me, you are not the first to pull the same useless to deflect from the obvious. Worry more about your own username instead but do not deviate from the issue here.

Find elders who actually lived through those 20 months to educate you. We have had too many threads already attempting to tell this same story.

By the way, your first mistake is assuming it was for 2.5 years. Notice I keep pointing out that it was for 20 months? December 31, 1983 – August 27, 1985.

Also,It is about 10 minutes to election time. If you really want to know what was achieved, you are best asking those who lived it and were affected in one way or another and that would be majority of Nigerians who lived during those years.

@ kobo, u and i now have the opportunity to enlighten each other. i mean, do u knw if frm here u can win a vote for buhari?
Re: What Were Gen. Buhari's 2.5 Years' Achievements? by Kobojunkie: 5:01pm On Feb 05, 2011
Again, I am more concerned about you getting educated on the real history of your country. You can vote for the devil if you want, I don't care. Just learn a bit more of the TRUTH before you go out rambling on issues you are obviously not that clued into.

[size=18pt]PURE IGNORANCE: Buhari did not rule for 2.5years. He was there January 1984 (Coup was December 31, 1983) to August 1985. About 1.6 years (close to how long GEJ has been in power). There was discipline in Nigeria. Essential commodities were available to those that needed them. There was focus. No extravagance unlike GEJ[/size]
Re: What Were Gen. Buhari's 2.5 Years' Achievements? by MaJBlige(f): 5:17pm On Feb 05, 2011
GEJ had been in power for 1.6 years and he hasnt made any difference!

I laugh!


Too many bullies on Nairaland- are they frustrated that they pour their anger on anyone and everyone?


Simple- No, you are wrong- he ruled for 1.6 years.

Whats the reason for all these tirade against someone trying to seek answers?

Na wa for frustrated people o.

@ Ahidjo and kobo i dn't think u experienced buhari's admin, u were only told in ur history book that tell lies of about or there about. kobo says 20mnths, ahidjo says 18mnths, or are u refering to different individuals?
Re: What Were Gen. Buhari's 2.5 Years' Achievements? by Afam4eva(m): 5:32pm On Feb 05, 2011
Someone asked a simple question instead of you to answer his questions you're calling him names. Could it be that Buhari didn't do nothing when he was head of state?

I see maths is another area of issue there. OK . . .  I gave you the dates, you count yourself. undecided

Again, notice how I have myself not attempted to answer your question but simply pointed you to people who can best do that for you -- people who have not read history books(as I already suspected you are not interested in the 360 of what happened in those months) that, according to you, tell lies.

DDC the sum total of Buhari's achievements whilst he was Dictator General in Nigeria is 0, Zero, Nothing, Akpoka.

Re: What Were Gen. Buhari's 2.5 Years' Achievements? by doyin13(m): 6:04pm On Feb 05, 2011
lol. . . I guess he never put almajiris in classrooms or created a direct route from the US to Nigeria.

I guess we should define it by what wasn't there at the time. The killings up North, the injudicious spending or the generally pervasive sense of insecurity. But most tellingly, there was no sense of aimlessness. You could actually tell someone was in charge.

Right now. . . .that would do me good. Some direction, some sense of security so that if I take my money or life to Naija, I will have a good chance of getting back in one piece and if a contract is broken, there is a system that might help me recover my hard earned wealth.

That would do for a start.

You do have a point. Part of the old order and all that he is.

And I would really like to hear more about his opinion on the other matters of state.

But wetin man go do. . . .We do need someone a bit more forthright though. Someone who has gone against
the grain.

Ribadu perhaps. . . .

Useless folks tryin 2 make it look like Buhari didnt do anything. I want y'all to know dat corruption is the greatest hindrance to development. It takes time to fight this big monster but Buhari was able to tame this monster.
1. He reduced the rate at which people loot the country's money to the barest minimum to the extent that when u loot & fly abroad, the boys are ever ready to go package u back home 2 face ur crimes.
2. It was during buharis regime that people started learning how to make queues at public places that requires it and also people were made to clean their environment regularly (discipline).
3. Why the common naijan felt his regime soo much was that there was a functioning price regulatory body that made sure the prices of goods are not increased uneccesarily. That way, the price of goods was stable.
4. There was absolute security of lives & property. These are to mention but few and they are the key ingredient for a developing/~ed economy. By then naija was getting set to explore its full potentials not until that devil (ibb) came into the picture.
