General Ibrahim Babangida is a patriot honestly.. most of the infrastructure built during his regime as Head of State are still standing till date. Where some are building ordinary road that'll wash away after 2 rainfalls.

See the way Abuja has tranformed over the years, solving the problem of bloody coups that plagued Nigeria from 60s' to early 90s'. Moving seat of power from Dodan Barracks in Lagos to Aso Villa in Abuja was and is still a masterstroke that should be studied in schools. Pure genius.

The so called democratically elected leaders should hide their head in shame.

Thats not the reason for stopping the coups. Coups generally has become very unpopular worldwide.

Nigeria had only two coup..1966 and 1983!

Abacha was a better pro poor military hos than ibb. Abacha built more people friendly social infrastructure that still stands today, eventhough obj came in and changed their concepts.

Ibb reinvited the imf and carriied out a lot of anti people neoliberal policies that we are still suffering up till now.

The incompetent Man killed PDP chances to produce the next Governor in Edo. H spent the last 8 years fighting everyone in the State.

Till date, Edo State doesn't have one single fire fighting Truck. There was fire out breaks in 4 markets in Benin over the years. Obaseki came and make mouth that he will fix the markets, it's been over 4 years now and he is yet to fix the Markets.

It's easy for military leaders to do a lot because it's a one man show and no House of Assembly or Judiciary anywhere to question your authority.

If you recall that IBB tenure was during the Gulf War .
With all the money we made , he did very little and stole a lot

Babangida achieved:

- removal of Buhari/Idiagbon in August 1985.

- return of poor societal values already corrected by Buhari with his war against indiscipline

- removal of a stable exchange rate

- removal of the naira from the streets of Europe and the USA. You could travel with your naira in cash and get your exchange at the bureau de change

- removal of naira from 0.83 naira to 1 USD and introduction of SFEM, where naira dropped to N4 to 1 USD. The Nigerian naira has never recovered from that since 1986.

- Introduction of the famous SAP, where Nigerians were advised to tighten their belts.

- the annulment of the most peaceful, easily successful and beautiful 1993 election, that produced the late MKO Abiola as the President of Nigeria. All Nigerians stood on the lines that day, with option A4 as the voting system, without prejudice to tribe or religion and voted for that man, who was known to be the greatest philanthropist ever to come from Nigeria. Abiola did not want to know your tribe or religion. He quoted the Bible and Quran as he learnt the two. Babangida caused his unfortunate death. Nigeria has not recovered from that loss.

- the loss of several innocent lives and too much calamities that befell many families from that annulment.


By the way, what’s third mainland bridge doing on that list. It was absolutely not Babangida’s project. For your information that was Obasanjo/Murtala Mohammed project and completed long before Buhari/Idiagbon. It was existing even long before Shagari. You can talk of the Benin bypass and expansion of the Benin-Onitsha expressway. That was Babangida’s project.

OP please stop misinforming people here. I also just saw Warri refinery. That was built and commissioned in 1978 by Obasanjo. It was a Murtala/Obasanjo project. OP your lie too much abeg.

The foundation for Abuja was laid by the same Murtala/Obasanjo. Shagari continued. Infact citizens were already travelling to Abuja for business under Shagari. IBB only ran to Abuja for safety following the Gideon Orkah coup.

That is incorrect, babangida achieved a lot check your records,it is those civilian that wanted power that used the press and propaganda to demonised it him,his only undoing was the annulment
The civilians in power now are worse than military dictators, the governors are absolute Lords in their states,while the president has the national assembly and the judiciary in his pocket to do their bidding, what you stated is only applicable in theory not practice as far as Africa is concerned

He even put built a refinery
something no one could do after forty years

One thing that got stuck with me when I read about Babangida was:

1.He would go to even a recruit's house whose child was celebrating his birthday, kneel down and give them gifts:

2. He walked barefooted, thinking for two hours when he realised that Buhari was going to send him to jail, before he decided to execute the coup.

3. What I didn't like was the execution of Vasta and Co.

It's easy to think someone did a lot when he has a lot of resources. Same thing with Lagos government. Past and present. When you look at the revenue they make , infrastructure on ground does not match it.

Same thing with IBB. Where did over $12b made during the Gulf war go?
Are you saying the achievements you listed coveted the $12b?
Mind you, I'm not exonerating civilian government. Just don't tell me IBB is not as corrupt as them .
