talk2s(m): 2:11pm On Mar 13 [quote author=Abel202]My People, I am one of those who believes that Jonathan is on the right track in many areas of National development although his nature does not command respect nor inspires one as a Leader should. But honestly this pardoning of Alamesieya is a very wrong move. I know that Alams is his former boss and all those crap, but if GEJ takes fighting corruption even a bit seriously he will not commit this grave error of judgement. There is no justification for this irresponsible decision. I have always said that fighting corruption headlong is Jonathans weakest link and If its true that a chain is as strong as its weakest link then GEJ should realy buckle up and fight corruption headlong. I do not criticise for the sake of it. A father can take a wrong decision (once in a while, not all the time), but He still remains your father and you will still respect him and not resort to calling him names. Let us condemn this counter-productive, ill-advised decision of Jonathan in the strongest possible terms. But let us not resort to name calling. Mr President has made a serious mistake in this. In short by this singular act, he has aborted the fight against corruption (that is if there was any fight against corruption since Yaradua and later GEJ took over). This is one silly mistake. But does this singular act make Mr Jonathan unelectable come 2015, The answer is simply no. If Jonathan gets it right in Railways (affirmative), if GEJ gets it right on Electoral reforms (affirmative) If GEJ gets it right on building more Universities and funding existing ones (affirmative), If GEJ gets it right in improving our Power generation and distribution (affirmative),If GEJ gets it right on Agriculture (affirmative) and if GEJ gets it right on the second Niger Bridge (I hope affirmative soon) amongst other things etc; Then even if GEJ scores below average on fighting corruption (Affirmative because he is already scoring far far below average), He will still have more positives than negatives to brandish as his score card to merit him getting a second term. I just pray and Urge our president to please stop punching corruption with Kid gloves. Grow some serious balls and fight this scourge so that it will not bury Nigeria one day.[/quote
GEJ is balless; Gej is this; Gej is that... U guys aint seen nothing yet. Between now and 2015, more decisions and hard stands that will proove to all doubting thomases and critics that our president has GUTS would be taken. Watch out!
your mum dropped you on your retardedSkull when you was child. FUCKINGIGNORANTSONABITCH.
THREE YEARS IN POWER YET OUR FUUUUCKING RESOURCEFUL COUNTRY IS NOT EVEN HALFWAY DEVELOPED OR STABILIZED.
YOU DESERVE TO ROT IN THE DEVILS MICROWAVE TILL NOW TO YOUR EXPECTED DEATH.
This man has no heart,a vile wicked fellow who just steals all the money that's meant to develop the country and help the people. I AM WARNING THE IDIOT fool who REPLIES IN SUCH MEMORABILITY IF YOU DARE DEFEND THEMOTHERFUCKER I WILL NOT BE PEACEFUL.
tomakint: hairyman, truly there are strange growth of hair in ur brains the more reason I am not surprised you asked that question about Jonathan (the best Nigerian President since our Independence)! From power supply, roads construction, infrastructural developments, YouWin, Sure-P, to improvements in agriculture etc. All you can see is Jonathan is not working, son, you need a brand new brain, it seems the one you possess now is not funtional
A COUNTRY THAT CAN DEVELOP REALLY FAST.YOU ARE RETARDEDFUCKTARDFUCKINGEVILSONOFABITCHBASTARD.
THE FOOL DOES NOT EVEN KNOW HOW RICH HIS COUNTRY IS.
tomakint: All I can say is that opposition or not, this Jonathan has proved himself worthy for another term come 2015! I will personally deliver 500,000 voters for this good man when the time comes!
bast ard,fu cktard,hopeless product of and worthless education system.
YOU DESERVE TO DIE AND ROT IN THE BURNING FIRE OF HELL OR THE DEVIL'S BREATH.
Do people even know what economy means.IT MEANS MONEY IN GEOGRAPHICALLY TERMS.
AND YES WE ALL KNOW NIGERIA'S RICH. WE DON'T NEED YOU FUCKTARDS SHOWING IT OFF IN OUR FACES.making us suffer and you still have the guts to tell us were more richer then ever.
initiate: we all like screaming that corruption is the problem, but its not. Corruption is just theSYMPTOM of the problem. the real problem is there is no sense of ownership of the country nigeria, by nigerians.
what I mean is than we dont see the country as something that belongs to us that we need to treasure and nuture and develop. Rgatger we see it as an entity that we can milk dry. andthis will continue because we dont see ourselves as one nation, rather as many nations forced to leave together. ucan liken it to a housing estate where the neighbours hate one another but have to endure living together.
bigass:bros you cant develop infrastructure without fighting corruption.where are all the monies voted for road construction? gone into private hands if you don't fight corruption people will continue to embezzle money!like you said corruption is everywhere but its the level of the wickedness of the political players that differ. in Nigeria the political players don't mind taking all and leaving just little for US ALL!!!!! whereas abroad they will put the interest of the people first!
YES BUT AGAIN,EVERY COUNTRY IN THE WORLD IS CORRUPT BUT THERE'S LIMITS,AND NIGERIA HAS CROSSED THE LIMITS.I CAN A SWELL DIRECT YOU TO A COUNTRY THAT HAS EXTREMELY DEVELOPED ITSELF YET THERE ARE AS CORRUPT AS NIGERIA:LIBYA.
I DO UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE TRYING TO SAY, DON'T GET ME WRONG BUT I BELIEVE
OUR PROBLEM IS NOT CORRUPTION. IT IS LACK OF GOOD LEADERSHIP.
Neo-XVI: As the new party sets about drafting its manifesto, they'd do well do adopt well-meaning ideas from Nigerians from all works of life. Listed below are people-centered ideas that should work well. A real manifesto will have these ideas fleshed out, including some justification and strategies for implementation, but that would be too much to post here. Feel free to discuss and/or add your own ideas, I understand some politicians come by here sometimes.
Corruption:
• Abolish immunity for public office holders from prosecution while in office • Make it mandatory for all public office holders to declare their assets before taking and after leaving office • Enact a whistle blower protection and reward act. To avoid false accusations, the onus of providing some form of evidence should be on the whistle blower • Enact tougher penalties, including life imprisonment, for people convicted of corruption/misuse of public funds and resources • Set up minimum standards of transparency in government • Lead by example (critical)
Jobs and the Economy
• As a matter of national emergency, build sufficient power generating stations and distribution infrastructure all over the country with the goal of providing 24-hour, uninterrupted electric power to every nook and cranny of the country. The strategy should be a forceful push for private participation and complimentary government investment to meet demand. This singular act, if achieved, will revolutionize commerce in the country. This can be done within 5 years. The designs already exist so we're not re-inventing the wheel here. The only part that would be time-consuming is usually the lead time on procurement of equipment from companies like GE. • Get Ajaokuta Steel Company working to its full capacity, as another matter of national emergency. This is another extremely high impact policy that if implemented, could revolutionize Nigerian manufacturing and export. Along with constant power supply, this will provide the base for the industrial super structure that would carry a developed Nigeria. • Implement a National Tax Plan which demands that every working person pays income tax, whether in paid employment or a small business owner. Without a tax paying citizenry to demand accountability from government, government can never be trusted to be accountable and clean on its own volition. No one is that good. Streamline federal, state and local taxes, especially on small businesses. Tax defaulters are sentenced to jail and/or fined heavily. This will also add to revenue while reducing the focus on oil. • Implement a new National Interstate Highway Plan from east to west, north to south, linking every state and every major Nigerian city to its neighbor via modern highways • Rehabilitate and improve air and rail transport, especially for cargo operations. Build high speed interstate trains for passenger transport • Build more seaports all across the coastline to reduce congestion and ensure more efficient marine and custom operations • Ban the importation of a long list of goods that could be produced locally in order to stimulate local production. Our GDP will not fare very well until we reduce the massive trade deficits we currently have • Increase import duty on certain other goods to ensure that local industries can compete • Systematical increase capitalization thresholds to ensure stronger, more robust banks • Provide hassle-free loans for small scale industries and reduce taxes on all manufacturing industry operations • Provide fast, independent audit of the NNPC, the subsidy scheme, and oil industry operations in Nigeria to eliminate the massive sleaze and corruption that has crippled that industry. Set minimum standards of transparency in their operations. Reassess oil contracts and contracting procedures. • Resuscitate refining to the full capacity of already established refineries. Map out policies to encourage more local refining to eliminate the need for oil importation. The goal should be self-sufficiency in refined crude products. We are an oil producer for goodness sake! Whoever heard of an oil producer importing gasoline and diesel? • Enact and implement a national minimum wage increase
National Security and integration
• Begin the use state of residence as a criteria for seeking political office (as opposed to state of origin). This will rapidly improve national integration and over time douse the tensions that exist now. Imagine a time when an igbo man that has contributed to the advancement of a locality in Bauchi becomes their rep in congress. Beautiful! No? • Look closely at indigene/settler laws with a view to giving settlers legitimate right to land (including farmlands) and to own properties. The country cannot claim to be united when everyone is holding tenaciously to their territories. If you've lived somewhere for 10, 20 years or more, they shouldn't have any hesitation calling you brother or sister • Dialogue with all terrorist groups, affiliates and sponsors within the country and try to resolve their legitimate concerns while they declare a cease- fire. If they remain obstinate after genuine efforts at resolution, unleash the wrath of government on them and wipe them out or chase them out of the country • Secure our borders and account for every foreigner in the country • Adopt a home first strategy in deciding what foreign missions our soldiers engage in. We should stop being Santa Claus to our African neighbors who neither appreciate nor respect us • Modernize our military operations and strategy and improve their capability to handle the kinds of threats we face • Provide retraining for ALL Nigerian policemen. Increase salaries and living conditions and modernize their equipment and operations. Also recruit massively to provide sufficient policing for cities and states. • Scrap the NYSC. It has become a corrupted, money wasting venture and a big cause of delay for youths. The productivity of a critical demographic is stifled by this program with huge diminishing returns. Use the money to hire permanent, qualified teachers instead and free graduates to go and work as professionals in their fields.
Education:
• Free, compulsory, universal education for all children up to high school level. Fine parents who fail to comply by not registering their kids for school • Improve learning facilities and conditions nationwide. Improve school curriculum • Outlaw child labor in any form, including hawking, until age 16 • Audit teacher qualifications. Weed out unqualified teachers. Hire adequate qualified teachers. Improve training and retraining of teachers • Set up a National College Fund to fund research and learning in tertiary institutions. • Improve school curriculum and make it mandatory for all current college lecturers to earn a PhD within 5 years, after which no one without a PhD should handle a college class without supervision i.e. they should be TAs and AIs, not full lecturers • Grant partial, and eventually full autonomy to tertiary institutions (after free education through high school, people should be willing to pay a bit more to get a degree) • Encourage merit-based public and private scholarships for the brightest students • Set up a national low interest college loan program to help private citizens fund higher education
Agriculture and Water Resources
• Encourage mechanized farming in the country by partnering with local authorities to provide such machinery for rent Improve agric extension activities, high yield seeds, fertilizers, etc, all at subsidized costs to farmers. The goal should be self-sufficiency in all staple foods. Buy and store excess production from farmers in good years. There are vast swathes of land that are not cultivated the country over because of small scale subsistence farming • Renewed focus on cash crop production for exports. Bring back the groundnut pyramids, the cotton fields, and the cocoa and oil plantations of the 50s and 60s. Encourage some local processing before export to increase value while also providing jobs • Pursue a vigorous plan to supply clean, pipe-borne water to all cities and towns nationwide. And gradually to hinterlands • Provide for better irrigated farming opportunities in dry seasons especially in Northern Nigeria
Health
• Immunize all children on as required from birth. Make these services available even in the remotest villages. Focus should be on less expensive, more efficient preventive medicine • Build and improve hospitals and primary health care clinics nationwide • Build world class specialist hospitals over time and employ Nigerian doctors practicing elsewhere (US, Europe). This will save crucial foreign exchange for us from politicians and the rich who go abroad at the slightest provocation, sometimes even for such things as medical checkups • Improve training facilities and curriculum in medical schools
Enough with the 7-point or 10-point agendas. What Nigeria needs is a comprehensive work over
I like some of your points but again some are really useless.I MEAN WHAT'S THE POINT OF TRAINING THEM ABROAD.cant you just educate the people by bringing in people or buying books supplies and stuff to train them.
AS WELL, I CANT STRESS THIS ENOUGH CORRUPTION IS NOT OUR PROBLEM THERE'S CORRUPTION IN EVERY COUNTRY THE ONLY LEADER THAT HAS REALLY FOCUSED ON MY POINT WAS IBB(BABAGINDA).MY POINT WAS INFRASTRUCTURE ONE YOU DID NOT MENTION.
LOOK AT ALL THE USELESS LEADERS THAT WERE FIGHTING CORRUPTION EXAMPLE BUHARI, DID IT THE CHANGE THE FACE OF NIGERIA NO.
FACT:THERE IS NOT A SINGLE GOOD ROAD IN NIGERIA.THERE IS NOT A PROPERLY BUILT MODERN SCHOOL IN NIGERIA. THERE'S ONLY ONE MODERN LIBRARY(OUT OF THAT BLOODY RICH COUNTRY) AND THAT'S NOT AS GOOD AS ANY HERE IN THE UK.
I MIGHT BE BORN AND BREED IN THE UK,BUT I KNOW DEVELOPMENT WHEN I SEE IT,AND I AM BEING EXTREMELY SERIOUS,MY SON GOES TO DEPTFORD GREEN SECONDARY SCHOOL WHICH HAS JUST GOT A NEW SCHOOL BUILDING,WHICH OPENED IN SEPTEMBER LAST YEAR.AND THE OLD ONE WAS NOT EVEN BAD ITS JUST THAT CARE SO MUCH THEY WANT TO UPDATE THERE SCHOOLS EVERY FIVE YEARS.
SIMPLY DUE TO WHEN LABOUR WAS IN POWER THEY INVESTED SO MUCH IN EDUCATION,NEARLY EVERY SECONDARY SCHOOL IN LONDON IS NEWLY BUILT OR PROPERLY MODERN EQUIPPED,WITH LIFTS, SMART BOARDS AND VERY BEAUTIFULLY ARCHITECTURALLY DESIGNED.LET ME NOT EVEN GO ONTO HEALTHCARE.
INFRASTRUCTURE can change everything employment of[b]all[/b] development and standard of living.
IF YOU STUDIED ECONOMICS LIKE ME YOU WILL KNOW HOW RICH NIGERIA IS.
EVEN HERE IN THE UK THEY HAVE JUST OFFICIALLY GOTTEN OUT OF RECESSION WHILE RICH NIGERIA HAS NEVER BEEN RECESSION.
ME AND MY DAD ARE BORN IN THE UK AND ARE NIGERIANS, BUT MATE YOUR'E EVEN LUCKY FOR ME EVEN CALLING MYSELF NIGERIANS,NONE OF MY FRIENDS (A LOT) WHO ARE ORIGINALLY FROM NIGERIA BUT BORN IN THE UK DO NOT EVEN WANT TO ASSOCIATE THEMSELVES BEING NIGERIAN.
I SAID HE STARTED WARS BETWEEN TWO RELIGIONS IN THE NORTH,EXAMPLE IN CITIES LIKE JOS,KANO,KADUNA,LAFIA E.G(IF YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT E.G MEANS MR.ILLITERATE IT MEANS AND SO ON.
tomakint: ...actually you are the COMPOUND EDIOT here, next time do your research very well before confronting facts placed before you. Buhari was once in Jos during his military career as an officer in the barrack there
GenBuhari: ^ An extremist who chose a christian Pastor as a running mate?
An extremist who has a christian as his driver?
An extremist who wife is reputed to be christian?
An extremist who led the country for 20months and did not introduce Sharia to a single state?
Buhari is no muslim extremist!!
SEE YOUR LIFE,IN ISLAM IT DOES NOT TEACH HOW TO KILL OR STEAL.WHICH NOW OBVIOUSLY MAKES HIM NOT A REAL MUSLIM,BUT HIM CLAIMING TO BE A MUSLIM MAKES HIM A TERRORIST,YES HE WAS TRYING TO INTRODUCE SHARIA LAWS,HE WAS TRYING TO WIPE OUT ALL THE CHRISTIANS IN THE NORTH SO THAT IT CAN REMAIN HIGHLY MUSLIM POPULATED.THIS IS GUY WHO WAS TRYING TO MAKE THE NORTH EXTREMELY MORE POWERFUL THEN THEY ARE ALREADY,THE SAME GUY STARTED THE WAR BETWEEN MUSLIMS AND CHRISTIANS IN MAJOR CITIES IN THE NORTH LIKE JOS E.G,WHICH STILL LAST UP TILL THIS DAY.
GenBuhari: 1. Buhari’s overthrowing of the National Party of Nigeria (NPN) in 1983 was to checkmate the possible angst against the ruling oligarchy who are of his ethnic stock and keep the rest of Nigeria in bondage
Buhari did not lead the coup he was selected as Head of State after the coup leader was killed during the coup
2. To prove that Buhari’s objective was to protect his Hausa/Fulani oligarchy to the detriment of other ethnic nationalities in Nigeria, he dealt with politicians from his part of the country with “glove hands” and gave politicians of other regions “bare knuckles.” The following are examples:
a) He detained President Shehu Shagari in a guest House and remanded Dr. Alex Ekwueme, the Vice President in Kirikiri Maximum Prisons. Yet, they were both the leaders of the NPN led government that has just been overthrown. What offence could have Ekwueme committed that Shagari could not have done worse? Buhari detained Ekwueme in prison as he $56,000 was found at his home, Buhari could not find any evidence that Shagari had stolen any money
b) Buhari sent his goons to ransack the home of Chief Obafemi Awolowo. This was aimed at insulting the sensibilities of the Yoruba Nation by disrespecting and embarrassing their Hero and Liberator from poverty and want. Chief Awolowo was not a member of the party in power that has just been overthrown, yet he had to be subjected to such unwarranted, politically and ethnically motivated vendetta. Pastor Bakare wanted us to believe that this was the handiwork of “fifth columnists” in Buhari’s regime. If this was so, what stopped Buhari from publicly apologizing to Chief Awolowo on behalf of himself and his regime, especially if Buhari’s intentions were clean? I have been researching Nigeria's political history and have never come across any credible news report to support this allegation, perhaps OP can give us his source
c) He ordered Pa Adekunle Ajasin, former Governor of the old Ondo State to be retried two times when they could not find anything against him. This meant that the old man was tried three times unfairly. Buhari ordered Pa Ajasin to be detained regardless of the fact that the old man was squeaky clean. His unfair detention impaired the old man’s health and led to early death for him. When this Honorable man died, he has only one old bungalow that he built as a teacher and principal in Owo town, well before he became the governor, to his name. I have been researching Nigeria's political history and have never come across any credible news report to support this allegation, perhaps OP can give us his source
d) He detained Professor Ambrose Ali of Bendel State in an inhuman condition to the point that the esteemed Professor became blind and died shortly after he was released. When the Professor died, he had only one undeveloped plot of land to his name. The military tribunal looked at all the evidence available to them before deciding that the accused was guilty, if he you have evidence to prove the innocence then present them. Buhari also instructed that all looted assets are retrieved from those convicted
e) His detention of Chief Ayo Ojewumi led to the blindness of the man. Buhari refused to let the man receive medical treatment until he completely went blind. Chief Ojewumi died exactly 28 days after he was released from Buhari’s gulag. He was detained because he was found guilty of corruption, many thousands of prisoners die in prison every year
f) Buhari refused to allow Chief Bisi Onabanjo, the governor of Ogun State to have access to medical treatment in detention. He treated the man as a criminal and shortened the life of the esteemed governor. He was detained because he was found guilty of corruption, many thousands of prisoners die in prison every year
g) Chief Jim Nwobodo, Chief Bola Ige, Chief Lateef Jakande, Chief Sam Mbakwe and several other southern politicians were given unreasonable sentences ranging from 100 years to 250 years while Governor Awwal Ibrahim of Niger State who was caught in Heathrow Airport in London with 14 million pounds and several millions in dollars and Naira, was detained in guest house. I have been researching Nigeria's political history and have never come across any credible news report to support this allegation, perhaps OP can give us his source
2. Buhari jailed Fela Anikulapo-Kuti, on trumped up charges, allegedly as an economic saboteur with the legal backing of the Miscellaneous Offences Decree No. 20 of 1984, for having less than 10,000 dollars in his possession on his way out of the country. The judge in the case later apologized and confessed that he was ordered to jail the famous Musician regardless of his innocence. The Buhari junta would later say publicly that it “decided to deal with this Fela problem once and for all.” I have been researching Nigeria's political history and have never come across any credible news report to support this allegation, perhaps OP can give us his source, Fela new the law and he broke it, that was the reason he was jailed.
3. Buhari instructed his ADC, Major Mustapha Jokolo to smuggle 53 suit cases, allegedly stuffed with foreign currency, through Murtala Mohammed Airport against the protests of General Tunde Idiagbon and Alhaji Abubakar Atiku, who was then Acting Director General of the Customs and later became the Vice President. A case of all animals are equal, but some are more equal than others. Complete misrepresentation of facts: 1st the suitcases were coming into Nigeria from abroad, the suitcases were those of an Emir returning from abroad with all his wives and children and all pieces of luggage from children's rucksacks to his wives' handbags were counted as suitcases. Again there is no credible source of the story which said Buhari intervened to by-pass normal procedures in customs or that indeed the "suitcases" had any money in them.
4. The change of color of the nation's currency notes (except the fifty kobo note) in April 1984, allegedly to stop currency trafficking. The exercise rendered almost half of the estimated N6 billion of had earned money of ordinary Nigerians, worthless at the expiration of the change. Honest Nigerians had several weeks notice to change their cash in the banks, only the looters, money launderers and traffikers with something to hide lost out
5. Buhari enacted Public Officers (Protection Against False Accusation) Decree 4 of 1984 with which he jailed journalists Nduka Irabor and Tunde Thompson for writing the truth. He said publicly that it did not matter if any of the journalists wrote the TRUTH, as long as he and his junta did not like it, the writers would go to jail. This casted Buhari as someone who never cares about the truth and a vindictive person. Buhari jailed the 2 journalist for contravening the decree - for not being factual and trying to falsely discredit the regime - both journalist were aware of the decree before they chose to breach it.
6. He cancelled the METROLINE PROJECT that Governor Lateef Jakande embarked upon as a vendetta against the Yoruba people. He chose rather to pay a fine of $60 million rather than guarantee $100million needed for the completion of the project. Soon after, he procured several Airplanes for the Nigeria Airways costing several millions. This was purely and exercise in belt tightening as when he came to power Nigeria was more or less bankrupt and was in negotiations with IMF for loan - which Buhari ultimately rejected.
7. He put in place a retroactive law with which he murdered three innocent men: Lawal Ojuolape (30), Bernard Ogedengbe (29) and Bartholomew Owoh (26), by public execution. Buhari did not allow them to go through the judicial system. He never respected the laws of the land. Article 11.2 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights reads: "No one shall be held guilty of any penal offence on account of any act or omission WHICH DID NOT CONSTITUTE A PENAL OFFENCE, under national or international law at the time when it was committed. NOR SHALL A HEAVIER PUNISHMENT BE IMPOSED THAN THE ONE THAT WAS APPLICABLE AT THE TIME THE PENAL OFFENCE WAS COMMITTED. Buhari left untouched an alleged well known drug baron in Ibrahim Babangida who later overthrew his government. Buhari wanted to deter armed robbers and drug dealers with tougher punishment, rumour hasit that he had planned to retire IBB who was sponsored by Abiola to overthrow Buhari on the eve of the planned retirement.
8. Buhari is the first Nigerian to be involved in stolen fund to the tune of billions. $2.8billion dollars of our money disappeared from NNPC under Buhari, when he was the Minister of Petroleum. Pastor Bakare called this “poppycock.” The $2.8bn was missing during the time Obasanjo was military head of state between 1976 ans 1979. Obasanjo's Ota farm cost approx $2.8bn to purchase in 1979 - go figure
9. He convinced all the northern political leaders against allowing the National Identity Card program because according to him, this would unravel the myth of Northern population majority. Please provide proof
10. He is an Islamic fundamentalist, the Bin Laden of Nigeria, who told his northern followers never to vote for anyone who was not a muslim. Buhari ruled Nigeria for 20 months and nobody accused him then of being an Islamic fundmenatlist, his focus was fighting corruption and salvaging the economy, no states adopted Sharia law during Buhari's reign, he crushed muslim fanaticism violence in Yobe 1984
11. He is a coup plotter. Buhari did not lead the coup he was selected as Head of State after the coup leader was killed during the coup
12. He has never been able to account to Nigerians what he did with the 20 billion Naira of the Petroleum Trust Fund of which he was the chairman under Sani Abacha. Buhari's handling of PTF was investigated by Obasanjo who was looking at anyway to discredit Abacha - the books were found to be impeccable
13. He was in full support of all the atrocities of Sani Abacha against the Nigerian people. There is no single record of his criticism of Sani Abacha during those dark days when Nigeria was on precipice. It shows that he is a patriot of convenience and as such not fit to lead the country. He was later to say publicly, on the tenth anniversary of Sani Abacha’s death that Sani Abacha never stole anything from Nigeria. Abacha was a honest and competent leader who never looted, he was accused of looting by Thief Obasanjo who has since proven himself to be the biggest looter Africa (if not the world) has ever known. Thief Obasanjo claimed the money returned by Swiss banks was Abacha's loot, this was simply a ploy to deceive Nigerians ans there is evidence that suggest the money did not belong to Abacha and today that returned money is untraceable
14. The Human Rights Violation and Investigation Commission (HRVIC) headed by Honorable Justice Chukwudifu Oputa an eminent jurist, was insulted and disrespected by Buhari who refused to appear before it. His message to Nigerians is that he (Buhari) is above the law and could not be held accountable. Buhari saw through Thief Obasanjo ruse as Theif Obasanjo chose what cases are brought to the commission, Buhari would have attended if it was genuine
15. He made Nigerians to go through the agony of having to scavenge and scamper for what was described as “essential commodities” such as milk, sugar and other diary products, thus creating emergency wealth for those who were very connected with his government. source please, otherwise it is just beer palour rumours
The above list of Buhari’s atrocities is not exhaustive by any means. It is more than exhaustive 99% of what you have written are either falsehoods or unsubstantiated. OP needs to provide sources of all this allegations
YOU ARE A person,LOOK AT YOURSELF NO ONE IS GOING TO BELIEVE ANY TYPE OF CRAP YOU WRITE.
CROWÉ: You see your problem is that you claimed Obasanjo freed Nigerians from Abacha and everything he symbolized, none of this stuff you've just posted is relevant, there is a punch line here, give credible information suggesting that Obasanjo by way of his actions was directly or indirectly responsible for Abachas death because that is how he was freed from Abacha, via his death and if there is a point in one of those videos that says so please tell me what time into the video where it does. I don't have 3 hours to watch videos in which most of it is not quite relevant to what we are talking about here, I am not so jobless and bored. "How did Obasanjo free us from Abacha", very simply make a post that immediately gets to that point and reasonably suggests it, that is all!
This talk about reducing poverty by 30%, I'll need an article that speaks to that and also paying the foreign debt was not Nigeria's most pressing concern when Nigerians were starving, it was a good thing to do but it doesn't serve Nigerians in any meaningful way so its not particularly much of an achievement after 8 years. Finally raising fuel prices by 320%, what was the price of fuel when they said that because that information is pretty subjective. when Obasanjo came into power fuel was about N20 per liter give or take a few and when he left it was well over N70 so unless I am mistaking that is well over 300% so what are you saying? Why did the french suggest that he raise the prices? The reasons why do matter, don't just make statements out of context, provide detailed information to support them.
MATE IT'S SUNDAY NOT THAT MUCH PEOPLE I KNOW WORK ON SUNDAY EVEN THOUGH I AM NOT LIVING IN NIGERIA.
WOW WHAT A STUBBORN DUDE,WATCH DOES VIDEOS THEM YOU WILL SEE WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT HOW OBJ FREED NIGERIA FROM ABACHA. IBB PLANNED THE DEATH OF ABACHA AND RESCUED HIS GOOD FRIEND FROM JAIL OBJ AND AROUND THE THAT TIME WHEN ABACHA WAS IGNORING NIGERIAN PEOPLE AND THERE RIGHTS,OBJ STOOD UP AND GOT EASILY THROWN IN JAIL.RIGHT I MADE A SIMPLE MISTAKE HE WAS FORCED TO RAISE INFLATIONS OF OIL PRICES BY 820% BECAUSE AT THE TIME,IT WAS JUST WHEN THEY STARTED NOTICING OIL AND NATURAL RESOURCES WHERE DISAPPEARING QUICKLY.AND THE EU APPOINTED THE FRENCH DO DEAL WITH LETTING OIL PRODUCING COUNTRIES HIGHER THERE PRICES FOR THERE GLOBAL SALES AND AFFECTIVELY FOR THERE PEOPLE.AS IS SAID EARLIER OBJ DID NOT BUDGE AND EVEN THREATENED THEM,AND AS YOU CAN SEE RIGHT NOW THE FRENCH HAS DONE THE SAME TO JONATHAN AND JONATHAN HAS NOW UNDERGONE EM PLACING OIL SUBSIDIES.
IT'S NOW I KNOW FOR SURE YOU MUST BE LAZY,CANT YOU RESEARCH THE POINTS I AM CLAIMING.MUST I EXPLAIN EVERYTHING, EVER HEARD OF THE HIGH RISING MIDDLE CLASS THAT WAS THE SCHEME EM PLACED BY OBJ THAT REDUCED POVERTY BY 30%.I DO NOT NEED TO FISH OUT SOME USELESS ARTICLE FOR YOU,AS I SAID BEFORE UNLIKE MOST NIGERIANS I HAVE THE TIME TO READ,WATCH THE LAWS AS WELL AS HISTORY AND PROBLEMS AND SO FACING NIGERIA.PEOPLE LIKE YOU NEED TO GET INTO THE SPIRIT OF WORKING HARD.
CROWÉ: The person who killed Abacha if any was the one that saved us from him, there was going to be an election in 1998, Abacha announced that. He tried to guarantee that he would win the presidency tho but never the less the democratic wagons were circling so killing him did the job, if Obasanjo did that then I suppose he saved Nigeria and she is grateful but it has nothing to do with his presidency. I just did a bit of research and that claim is denied, he also would not haven needed to be president, many people have championed ideologies in their countries without being president, what did Obasanjo do to improve Nigeria in his capacity as president is what I want to know.
ITS A SHAME,YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT YOUR SAYING, THERE ARE VIDEO LINKS I HAVE POSTED BELOW PLEASE FIND TIME DO WATCH IT.AND DO NOT DO THAT NONSENSE YOU SPEWED EARLIER'I DID A BIT OF RESEARCH'
OBJ STABLED THE COUNTRY,BY REDUCING MASSIVE EXTERNAL AND FOREIGN DEBT LEFT BY EVIL FOOTPRINT OF ABACHA. AS WELL REDUCING POVERTY BY 30 PERCENT,SMS JOBS, STANDING UP TO THE FRENCH STUPID POLICIES WHICH WAS THAT OIL PRICES NEED TO RISE UP BY 320% PERCENT MINIMUM IN NIGERIA. OBASANJO RAISED IT BY 20 TO 50 60 NAIRA PER LITRE.THE FRENCH WERE OUTRAGED THAT HE IGNORED THEM,BUT BECAUSE OBJ WAS AN MILITARY GENERAL HE KNEW HOW TO DEAL WITH THE THEM.
THE SAME EVIL SANI ANNOUNCED WHAT MR.ABACHA SAID HE HAS A VISION FOOTPRINT TO LAST 2010.MEANING THERE WAS NOT GOING TO BE NO ELECTIONS,AND IT'S TIME NIGERIANS WAKE UP AND THANK DOES OF OF OBJ AND IBB NOT MATTER HOW EVIL AND CORRUPT THEY ARE. MATE ARE YOU SAYING I AM LYING. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CgzSnZidGuU
I mean did you read what you wrote 'I did a bit of research'. MY CLAIMS ARE DENIED RIGHT? ITS SUNDAY AND THERE'S NO POINT OF ME INSULTING PEOPLE WITH OUT A VERIFIED REASON. I MEAN DID YOU KNOW OBJ WAS IMPRISONED BY ABACHA FOR STANDING UP FOR THE PEOPLE,AND DO YOU KNOW HOW LONG HE WAS IMPRISONED.
CROWÉ: I am not sure what you mean by on balance but I'll ask that you share with us one thing that improved in Obasanjo's administration.
US,we changed he gave us a freedom of speech that was kept away from us by that bast ard called sani abacha,we were in a time where we so scared to even talk about the government,that we had to worry about our lives if we even dared them(the government). You think there will be nairaland if sani was still ruling us.
OBSANJO,A GUY THAT NEARLY DIED BECAUSE HE WANTED TO FULFILL HIS DREAMS OF NIGERIA BECOMING AN INDEPENDENT COUNTRY.
