GenBuhari: @agabaI23 look who is talking sef, the man that eats anything and everything What would happen if u get injured or ill and are unable to excercise?  Are you saying people urinate more in cold weather?
I am experiencing problems of frequent urination - waking up during sleep to urinate. -Perhaps wrapping up more warmly in bed may help me. Yes I eat whatever I like that is healthy in terms of size I meant and not in terms of junk.  About urinating more in cold weather, yes you do urinate more. Reason is that the blood vessel contract limiting blood flow to the surface of the skin in order to conserve heat and keep you warm. While doing that, water movement to the surface is also limited so the skin which is a good excretory route for water lags behind in that front leaving the kidney to do most of the job. It is the same mechanism that delays surface wound healing in cold climate if you have noticed, reduced blood flow, reduces the amount of proteins that gets to the surface. |

chi jane: Abeg no offence here but i want to know if these power supply Buhari is talking about will be for the whole country Nigeria or just selected Nigerians.my reason?His past Government has never favoured any group outside Hausa's.secondly He was estimating till 2019,so was he going to elongate his tenure till 2019,the last time i checked[b],a full term is 4yrs and not 8yrs as projected by this man[/b].people make una watch this man closely cos he has some hidden agenda he's not telling Nigerians.periodddddddddddddddddddd He is freeto make a long term plan even if he will not be there. The power project which was dormant under OBJ is what GEJ is implementing now. We are talking about continuity. The problem is he has no clue as how to go about doing that. Was there any feasibility studies? Tell us how you will acheive that sleekman: "Muhammadu Buhari as a member of the Supreme Military Council & as the head of the petroleum dept was by nature taciturn & introvert. [b]But he took any work given to him very seriously & if he failed at whatever he did, it would not be because he did not put his best, in fact, his very be[/b]st. He was as reliable as he was hard working & HONEST" – Olusegun Obasanjo ("Not My Will", University Press Ltd., Ibadan, 1990, Pg 59)
This coming from OBJ means that he knows GMDs worth. Nigerias here is your true president, the peoples General. GENERAL MUHAMMADU BUHARI. Vote 4 Change. That means he failed. He probably did not fail because he was not honest or hard working. He failed because he did not know how to do what he was doing. Quality not quantity. Honesty is a good trait, but you need more than that to lead. He probably failed because he could not manage the people under him. He was not a people's manager. Now some BB guy is posting OBJ comment to support the credibility of BB. If someone is to post his comment on GEJ o Ribadu I hope you will accept it. In fact you will start first by accepting that it was true he was tricked to attend Bode George's Owambe since OBJ's comment is now Gospel  |

After the global melt in 2008, the reserve nose dived and most investors fled. That affected the likes of intercontinental bank that had so much foreign investment. Foreign reserve size is one of the indices that is looked into by foreign investors. Nigeria had enough money in recent years to provide social amenities.

9ijaMan: It is either you are a poor student of economics or you simply don't have a clue about international investment. It is terribly delusional for any sane mind to conclude that foreign reserve is a major factor for attracting FDI (Foreign Direct Investment) into a nation. Ghana, Rwanda and a host of other countries which have finally been able to get their economic perspectives right have far external reserves far less than Nigeria, yet these countries enjoy continued and increasing FDI.
Your foreign reserve plays a minimal role in attracting investors. A stable economy, with good social amenities (roads, healthcare, power, security) and relatively stable and virile political atmosphere are the major factors which are appealing for FDIs to flow into the country. Unfortunately we do not have any of such primary incentives. FDIs shy away from corrupt nation regardless of the value of your foreign reserve.
Ghana's foreign reserves today is most likely under $5 billion (see the figures for end of 2009 in the link below), yet investors (including Nigerians) are trouping into the company to invest. Why? It's simple, Ghana is politically stable, the

How is he going to deliver what he has promised? No clear plan- vague vague because he has no clue. The promise is so unrealistic raising hope as he did in 1984 January. |

GenBuhari: I do not believe for one second that the foriegn reserves OBJ claimed to have built up were genuine, he probably cooked the books with the central bank and may ave temporary moved money about. I believe it was part of his strategy for for a 3rd term. This was in 2008 by then OBJ was no longer the president so third term saga was no longer an issue. Do not forget that oil went for $140/barrel. GenBuhari: How can you not have the basics (electricity, security, health ,water) and yet claim to have amassed $50bn in foriegn reserves?.
How can you use foreign reserves to attract foriegn investment, when there is no electricity or security or infrastructure necessary for such investment? Countries with large foreign are seen by international investors as investors haven. At the time that we had up to $50bn, we had many companies coming mostly for the banks. After the global melt in 2008, the reserve nose dived and most investors fled. That affected the likes of intercontinental bank that had so much foreign investment.

POTUT: Wow! wow!! wow!!!
I actually read everything in this thread like a book. My brain cells are rattling now like the loose bolts and nuts on my generator. I wonder what the history and anthropology curriculum in our secondary schools and universities are. This thread can gainfully replace them.
Nigerians are in a well crafted dilemma - who to vote for massively next month.
GEJ continues to be seen as part of the status quo that has pillaged our future before it is born. On the brigter side, he runs with an air of destiny and has committed himself in his words. My power of discernment still tilts towards this commitment.
Ribadu is confused and can't seem to reconcile his earlier career goals with his reality. He now has a godfather he was so sure was 100% corrupt 4 years ago.
Buhari is now officially controversial. He truncated a democracy with the gun, despised it by not having any return plans until he was ousted and went about supporting June 12 annulment and dining with a government synonymous with corruption and human rights abuses (Abacha) Now he seeks power to fix Nigeria and it leaves me wondering, What in the worls does CPC represent. If Buhari drops off the planet today, who will carry on whatever philosophy he represents. Does he have a school of newbreed politicians who understand his philosophies? When did he develop these philosophies. Let's concentrate on building Institutions, not frail personalities who should give up the stage for the proteges.
BTW, Nigeria's problem is NOT corruption. The US, UK, greater Europe and China are all corrupt in their governments.
Pat Utomi & Chris Okotie have got the one thing lacking in all of our past leaders, and that is that they are ashamed enough of our situation as a country to want to do something about it. Having enough financial muscle and getting their very academic messages across to millions of uneducated Nigerians who lack the capacity of sound perspective is their collective bane.
If only we could do a brain transplant, we could actually have the best president ever.
I have heard that 12 years of PDP must come to an end. It is amusing how few people understand what that actually means.
Who are PDP? They were once Alliance of Democracy stalwarts who converted to Action Congressmen that once flew across the street to attend a PDP dispensation but suddenly realized they left their suitcases in the ANPP flight that brought and returned to pick it up passing through Labour Party's road in an APGAmobile driven by the Supreme Court and conducted by the many Hight Court judges that they blessed with the change from their last outing.
All of these politicians who are free agenting Political Parties like professional football players are the PDP. Until we identify people by their political philosophies and see it reflected in their Institutions, we cannot make the right choice.

He reduced inflationfrom 24% to 4%
Recovered looted money.
He paid off our debt
All this in just 1.5 years
Why not google him? ---------------------------------
Nice one. at least this is an intelligent post. but i have a few questions and observations.
I will not google him because what will turn up in google are articles written by those who support him. I am a Nigerian who was very aware during Buhari's time and I cant remember him doing any of the things you just listed. He ruled for just a short time and achieved nothing but no one really blamed him for achieving nothing because we feel his rule was very short. but to claim the above is not true at all. The ony thing he did in 2 years was war against indiscipline. WAI. He didnt recover any monies. He didnt pay off any debt. And he didnt reduce inflation. please get your facts right. Inflation has never reduced in Nigeria since Gowon's regime. I has steadily risen since then. Ironically, the only president that has ever paid off our debt is OBJ and he has never been given any credit for that. funny. @edicolove You may want to read my submissions on the claims in the post you quoted in here- https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-620012.0.html |

$33bn is a gross under estimation, we had close to $60bn around the first quarter of 2008 But you do not go around spending your foreign reserve because bigger foreign reserve attracts more foreign investors ho do have confidence in the stability and productivity of your economy. It also affects the value of your currency. BTW why is it tagged reserve if we are to keep on spending it?
So nothing wrong in not spending it but there is everything wrong on not building good roads because we can do that without touching our foreign reserve. |

NNOUNCE THIS ARTICLE TO YOUR FRIENDS MOHAMMUDU BUHARI: THE TOWER OF TERROR AND BIGOTRY
Nigeria has always been a basket case. Things that are abnormal and aberrations takes place in Nigeria everyday; they are commonplace and they assume normality and are acceptable as part of our life. Having illiterate soldiers rail road the wholeA nation of well educated people was at one time acceptable in the mentality of Nigerians. At the sight of a demented soldier on national television Nigerians rush out to celebrate and welcome the new 'messiah' to Dodan Barrack. The people easily lap up the new soldier of fortune's promises and good intentions and will be glad that the thieves in babariga and tall caps (a la Shagari's) have been arrested and their political parties "dissolved." People will take to the streets to listen to all the new promises of what the new "fedra gonment" will do. They will lap up all the "summarily dismissed," "hearby dissolved," "summarily expelled," and nonsense like "this gonment will not tallrate any indisplin" from the very mouth of lowlifes who are the very epitome of indiscipline! Mohammudu Buhari was one of such undisciplined soldiers that forcefully terminated democratically constituted and elected governments.
advertisement The twin towers of terror, Mohammudu Buhari and his co-traveler Tunde Idiagbon, plotted and terminated the second republic. The second republic was never a worthy venture considering the excesses and corruption of the epicureans in Alhaji Shehu Shagari and Adisa (the self-processed and heavily deluded AMA, Always Mentally Alert) Akiloye's National Party of Nigeria (NPN), but only the people have the right to terminate it through the ballot box. But Buhari has no regard for the ballot box or democratic process that engenders and enthrones democratic regimes. Like any soldier of fortune with a huge personal agenda, Buhari overthrew the government of Alhaji Shehu Shagari. He accused the civilian administration of corruption and bad governance; he called them names and came to the conclusion that they will be "summarily disciplined." On December 31, 1983, Mohammudu Buhari rolled back the hands of the nation's development and stymied the progress of Nigeria. He decided to clean up the mess left behind by the National Party of Nigeria (NPN) and restore order. But rather than dealing with the crooks, philanders, epicureans, grabbers and looters in the NPN and hold them accountable, he chose to punish only a section of the political landscape; he focused on the political opposition that controlled less than 30% of the funds at the time. Buhari arrested, detained and tried all the governors of the Unity Party of Nigeria (UPN) while the erstwhile leaders of the NPN were left untouched and a mere handful of them kept under house arrest.
[b]Buhari's was a selective approach to governance and justice. Not a single Hausa/Fulani man or woman was arrested, interrogated, detained, brought to trial or sent to jail during his dictatorship despite the legions of Southern non-Muslim 'infidels' he detained without trial, sentenced for flimsy reasons, or murdered by retroactive law. It was only Umaru Dikko he went after - for whatever personal reasons - among the dozens of NPN chieftains, but he kept the likes of Professor Ambrose Ali, Chief Olabisi Onabanjo, Chief Michael Adekunle Ajasin and Chief Bola Ige in prison. He tried them and retried them until they were found guilty. His goal was to find them guilty and it was at all cost. For him it was better to find the 'infidels' guilty rather than trouble the 'elect.' Buhari incarcerated the UPN governors who brought development to their people and their states and rewarded NPN governors who could not account for the revenue allocations they got and the loans they borrowed with house arrests and freedom to move around! It was Buhari's Northern Agenda, an agenda soaked in his belief in a pious North and determination to deal ruthlessly with the 'infidels,' from the Christian South and its inferior Muslim population who were not Muslim enough, [/b]
The repeated imprisonment, trials and tribulations heaped on the UPN governors hastened the untimely demise of Chief Olabisi Onabanjo and Professor Ambrose Alli. Buhari lacked the conscience to care; he was least interested in the fairness of his action. All the ministers of the National Party of Nigeria and their party chieftains such as the former president Alhaji Shehu Shagari, Suleman Takuma, Adamu Ciroma, Yahaya Dikko and many others were left untouched; they were too pious and of a special Northern breed to be touched. Buhari settled for scapegoats and 'infidels' from the South to justify that he was cleaning the nation of corruption when in fact he wore a garment of greed and excesses. He showed very little respect for the law of the land. He even went a step further to backdate laws in order to ensure that three suspected drug pushers, Bartholomew Owoh, Bernard Ogedengbe and Lawal Ojuolape were found guilty by retroactive law, but then that was a drug trade that prominent Northern Nigerian businessmen were well noted for. In doing this, he insulted the civil society and drew the anger and criticism of the Nigerian media, labour unions, the Nigerian Bar Association, the National Association of Resident Doctors, and many other unions and organizations. Dr. Beko Ransome-Kuti and his brother, Fela Anikulapo-Kuti suffered greatly from the inhuman actions and detentions of Buhari and his band of plunders. The three drug suspects were found guilty and murdered by retroactive law. Decree No. 20 of 1984 was not only inhuman and illegal in its composition, it was draconian and a law made by fools, because suddenly action that we acceptable and normal when taken were strangely turned into criminal actions. The Public Officers (Protection Against False Accusation) Decree 4 of 1984 was Buhari's gift to the Nigerian Press and its first victims were The Guardian's Tunde Thompson and Nduka Iraboh.
Buhari did not even consider the ministers of Alhaji Shehu Shagari who broke every law, plundered the nation's resources and spent money like it was going out of fashion for any punishment. He did not come to punish the 'saints,' because the saints are too pious. His war against indiscipline (WAI) was conceived in deceit. Only the unholy will be punished for acts of indiscipline. The pious have the right to 'take,' to 'use,' and to 'remove' whatever they want, and their taking, using and removing what they want is holy and righteous before Allah. As far as Buhari was concerned only the people in the South were undisciplined since the North was and still is pure and pious. Only numskulls will hold such silly and silly believes, but Buhari was far from convinced about the superiority of his Hausa/Fulani race and the purity of Islam. For Buhari, he was right and pure and we (the people in the South) are dead. He considered himself sent by Allah to either purify them or exterminate them all.
[b]The Emir of Gwandu was too pious and as such was at liberty to bring in his 53 suitcases. While the people importing contrabands were predominantly from the North, only the few from the South were arrested and prosecuted. Alhaji Jokolo, the current Emir of Gwandu and son of the then Emir recently said his father only brought back 12 suitcases and not 53. Jokolo, a former colonel in the Nigeria Army said it was General Buhari who instructed him to go to the airport to receive his father, the then Emir. Mustapha Jokolo acknowledged that several suitcases were taken straight from the aircraft to the State House. He said those were for the Chief of Protocol, Dahiru Waziri. They were all in the government of Mohammudu Buhari but Buhari did not put them on trial for bringing contraband goods into the country or for disobeying the law by not taking their luggage through the normal process of inspection. Even Buhari's brother was on that same entourage of the Emir of Gwandu, but all of them are neck and shoulder above the law, and the war against indiscipline does not affect them; they are above such petty laws that were made for commoners and Southerners.[/b]
General Buhari has very little education, like the rest of his khaki-wearing comrades who ruled Nigeria by force and by decrees. He attended primary school in Daura and later the Katsina Model School before attending military training at home and overseas. We can safely say that this is another cretin case with very little ability for creative, analytical and constructive thinking. Even his actions as military dictator were causes of concern for the academia, and they worry why any rational person will take those actions or follow the steps Buhari followed. A few months or a year in any military college or cadet program can never prepare any soldier for governance. Soldiers are trained to follow rules and to obey orders; never to run government, lead civilians or be seen in the civil society wearing uniform around. No military training prepare or pretend to prepare a soldier to run a local government or a state. Buhari was poorly educated and has a low intelligence quotient (IQ) to manage the affairs of the people of Katsina State and as such lack what it takes to manage the affairs of Nigeria. He forcefully imposed himself on the Nigerian people and made a terrible work of it; he caused confusion, did the economy no good and dehumanized the civil society. If he failed when he was a dictator, I do not see him succeeding in a democratic, give-and-take environment.
Buhari accepted the Abacha contraption and was one of the first few who embraced Abacha quite early and saw nothing wrong in the annulment of MKO Abiola's freely given mandate. Buhari was therefore rewarded with the chairmanship of the Petroleum Trust Fund (PTF) by his friend, General Sani Abacha. The PTF had annual budgets that were far more than what most states of the federation received from the federal purse. The Fund began in 1996 with an initial capital of almost 60 billion naira. It was a duplication of social services and it became the bottomless pit that allowed the Northern Oligarchy to loot the national treasury once again. It was like the return of the Nigerian National Supply Company (NNSC) and contracts were flowing and doing so in abundance, but available only to the Oligarchy who will then turn around to sell the contract papers to a Southerner at huge profit. It all became a joke in Lagos about how some people procured the paper and made billions and some bought the paper and do all the work for little or nothing! Buhari's PTF built roads at federal, state and local government levels at a time when the Federal Ministry of Work lacked the funds to repair roads. PTF also procured drugs at a time when the Federal Ministry of Heath did not have the budget to provide drugs for federal hospitals. It was said that the PTF had 115.6 billion naira available to it as at December 31, 1997, funds that were never audited or properly accounted for. Like Abacha and the rest of his government, the PTF was set up to provide an opportunity to loot without any need for accountability; and corruption and indiscipline were never fought at that level. A wise former head of state would have seen that PTF was an alternative government and he would have rejected the offer to be part of it, but not Mr. Buhari. PTF brought untold opportunities and allowed him to practically rebuild Katsina, Kaduna and the rest of the north while a few projects were thrown at the Southern States.
More roads were built in each of Funtua, Gusau, Kaduna, and Sokoto than in Lagos or Oyo State. Over 70% of the Fund's allocation went into modernizing the roads in the North. For example, roads in Malali Government Reservation Area (GRA) in Kaduna were as good as you can wish for before PTF was set up, but these roads were dualized with PTF's money all the way to Durbar Hotel and beyond. Buhari's idea of Nigeria is one in which the north is superior and it must always take the lion share of everything. Unfortunately Muhammudu Buhari is the presidential candidate of Bola Tinubu, the self-professed leader of the Yoruba people. It is very obvious they have so much in common - brash, uncreative, unimaginative and false superior air. Contractors such as Chagori and Chagori (C&C) and Afri-Projects Consortium were some of the major beneficiaries of the PTF contracts. The PTF even carried out projects in Military barracks despite the fact that those projects have been provided for in the Ministry of Defence's budget. The Armed Forces PTF was allocated 20% of the PTF funds and with it came more funds to loot and no accountability. In the final analysis it was confirmed that Buhari wasted 135 billion naira of the PTF's 146 billion and all this financial abuse during the time Abacha was waging war against indiscipline and corruption (WAIC). The joke is on Abacha, Buhari and their ilk, and I am laughing out loud, really loud.
Human rights violations brought the civil society in confrontation with the twin towers of terror. Buhari and Idiagbon were ruthless and they disregarded every right, every dignity and ignored every court injunction as they inflicted untold pains on human rights organizations, newspapers, labour unions, and the community of editors, journalists, writers, reporters, and opinion leaders. The twin towers were right and we were all wrong and as such detained - kept away for as long as their lordships wanted. It has often been speculated that the reason why Buhari terminated a democratic government was to give him the opportunity to remove the documents relating to the missing Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) missing $2.8 billion. For reasons relating to the missing $2.8 billion, Buhari detained, intimidated, jailed and abused people at will. His detention camps were flung open by his successor and the whole world was shocked beyond believe that a human being will go to any extent to dehumanize other human beings for no reason at all. The unfortunate traveler and the other tower in the Buhari dictatorship, Tunde Idiagbon was no doubt the honest and decent of the two men. Idiagbon was a disciplined soldier who got into a ride with a crooked driver behind the wheels.
There is no doubt in my mind that General Mohammudu Buhari failed in every area of assessment. He lacks the temperament to tolerate democratic culture, he is poorly educated and lack the creative, analytical and strategic thinking required leading a nation like Nigeria. It is true Buhari had gunned his way into power in Nigeria before, essentially an accident of history that should never have happened. He may be qualified to lead the Caliphate but even then the days of the Caliphate have receded into the footnotes of history. Buhari was a soldier who disobeyed his commander in chief and forcefully removed an elected government from office. Besides lacking the moral authority and shared values required of a democratic leader, Buhari's antecedent as minister in the petroleum ministry where funds disappeared and later as chairman of the Petroleum Trust Funds where cases of widespread corruption and sectionalism were rampant necessarily made it imperative to disqualify this former tower of terror.

I am not aware they used vans. What I know is that the task force guys disguised themselves as customers. They would ask for the price of an item if it is available. If they retailer sells above Govt price, they would brandish their IDs and would then inform the shop owner he was under arrest and would be taken away, This is true. Don't forge that the shop owner bought at N5 and he was forced to sell at N4 |

People should forget IBB in this thread. The poster highlighted some points he made about Buhari. Are they cogent? That is what we should discuss not how IBB buried the country. Noone argues that he buried the country with burial ceremony but what he said, isn't it the Gospel about Buhari?  |

The pro Buhari group are very funny  . Instead of reacting to issues raised in publication which is very genuine, they choose ignore it. All they could come up with is 'Give this man a chance' chance to do what?' A man who even in military circle was seen to listen to no one, could not consult etc cannot function in a democratic setting. he will be impeached or frustrated. I am not promoting IBB but like I said in another thread, he started well. There was positive performance in the economy up until 1990 before he began to show who he was as an evil genius whatever caused that. Why do we vote for him? people will brandish publication that has in no way countered what was said in the original one. If this had any significant economic impact in his time or at least has some reasonable plan now, i could at least say lets go with him. We can endure his sectional and I-am-the-saint trait in a good economy like the Libyans but he is lacking in diplomacy as well as in economic strategies. These render him incompetent. BTW what a nice speech by IBB  |
