Ibrahim Babangida Celebrates His 79th Birthday by muchroom(m): 4:12am On Aug 16, 2020
On August 17, 2020,former head of state of Nigeria, Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida will clock 79. Babangida's regime brings back memories of SAP (Structural Adjustment Program), SFEM(Second-Tier Foreign Exchange Market), MAMSER(Mass Mobilization for Self Reliance, Social Justice, and Economic Recovery) , June 12, Better life program by his late wife, Gideon Orkar/Ogboru coup and so much that happened in his 8 years rule.

Some of his great achievements include completion of the 3rd mainland bridge and creation of states like The states are: Katsina and Akwa Ibom created September 23, 1987, and Abia, Delta, Enugu, Jigawa, Kebbi, Osun, Kogi, Taraba and Yobe – all of which were created on August 27, 1991. At the very least, those states can never forget IBB.

However, his annulment of the June 12 elections still lives a bad taste in his records til date. happy birthday General.

Reminiscent time ........
We remembered vividly just like yesterday,
Let's take you down memory lane,
Especially those that weren't born back then.
Enjoy.........

Following the 1983 military coup d'état, General Babangida (then Chief of Army Staff) started scheming to overthrow military head of state General Muhammadu Buhari.
Exploiting his closeness with allies: Sani Abacha, Aliyu Gusau, Halilu Akilu, Mamman Vatsa, Gado Nasko, and younger officers from his days as an instructor in the military academy (graduates of the NDA's Regular Course 3), he strategically positioned his allies and gradually within the military hierarchy.

The execution of the coup was initially delayed due to General Tunde Idiagbon the 6th Chief of Staff,
Supreme Headquarters and ruthless second-in-command to General Muhammadu Buhari.
On 27 August 1985, General Babangida and his co-conspirators orchestrated the palace coup with four Majors: Sambo Dasuki, Abubakar Dangiwa Umar, Lawan Gwadabe, and Abdulmumini Aminu detailed to arrest the head of state.
In a speech, General Babangida justified the coup describing General Muhammadu Buhari's military regime as "too rigid".
Not that he was corrupt,
Not that he was doing any wrong thing.
But just that he was so bent to enforce discipline in all sphere of our nation,
Along with Tunde Idiagbon,
Just that he arrested some politicians that started looting in this nation and lock them behind bars.

And this took back the progress of Nigeria 60 years!
One day, we will get there as a nation.

There was a country!!


Kissiemu:
I don't know why I just don't like him n almost all those ex generals. Na dem scatter Nigeria.
You've said it all!
We can only continue to remain positive about our darling nation.
ONE day, We will get there as a nation.
The foundation has been destroyed.

Danielfx:
Twist history as you like, which rigid. He never mentioned that
What do kids know?

Dem dem Maradona

Read - Honour for Sale by Major Debo to know more about him.

I have a book written by him too , too big a book but I am going to read to see what he has to say for himself.

Maradona.

Rumoured to have a Yoruba dad like some say OBJ's dad is Igbo.

It's unlikely he's really from Niger State anyways. He has no iota of love for the place. He and Abdulsalam are very useless ex Presidents/ Head of States.

My fridge and A.C. were useless because of zero electricity. They have very bad roads too.

These military leaders have chosen to live long. I wonder what would happen if those who were assassinated back in the day lived.
