Some of you just flow with the current without knowing what started it.

In other words, you want to say the hackneyed opinion that he gagged the press.
Do you know what led to that sort of reaction towards some set of the press?
It's because Buhari went hard against drug couriers whom some elements in the military alongside MKO backed...and after, much warning, he resorted to capital punishment to scare them stiff.
Some people weren't happy. MKO wasn't happy. And you know he had a good influence over the western media which set the tone of discourse then. And the press attacked whom the controlled paid editors felt should be attacked.

On your "he jailed southerners and left northerners"

Its time to clear your heart of bias-
There are facts you may not know- As a civilian vice president, ekwueme somehow mysteriously built a brewery in his naative town of oko, ursurped money from his office and built the MODOTEL chain of hotels in the east.
Now, these begged for investigation.
And these, amongst others was why he was locked up.

Ambrose Ali, Aper Aku and Pa Ajasin were not entirely innocent.
They used up money from their office to fund their parties. Wrong.
I must admit, they didn't use the monies for themselves.

Did you know that Mohammed Goni was jailed too?
He ws from the north.
You remember Taatari Ali? He was jailed too.
And Barkin Zuwo?

Plssss. You guys need to read more or ask the older folks more questions than coming up here to spew uninformed biased lines.
SMH.

I hope you've your facts tight as you spew-

I know about essenco( the essential commodities that were shared amongst workers) people queued more to get them under shagari than in Buhari's regime.

The queue was largely symptomatic of corruption in the civil service which Buhari toiled to wipe out and got his bad name for doing so.

The job losses u talked about was as a result of the near ban on the culture of importation.
That's the initial knee jerk reaction you find in the economy as it gradually adapts.
Sadly, our people were too pampered to make such sacrifice then.
Buhari encouraged agriculture and the export of its goods in his time.

Are you an airhead?

I guess you're a teenager.

Ok. GMB for one, made sure the naira wasn't devalued as a president.
Naira ws strong and was like $1-N2naira.

He built a refinery.

He increased local exports and tried to shift the economy away from oil dependence.

He rejected the IMF loan.
A move that could have killed the economy.
IBB later took the loan and the naira plummeted.

He did much of these within a year!

For more, try and read your history books.

And your fiancé is busy changing oil overseas

Whynotthetruth:
Aside putting the all blames at the door step of the presidency which doesn't border me much; as his double standard. Where in he blames GEJ for not saving and insults Peter Obi for saving...What hypocrisy from a supposed technocrat? What does he stand for? is it for or against the savings

rozayx5:
now that several anti GEJ topics have flooded frontpage, i hope APCians are satisfied, they were already crying foul on the Buhari military thread.

now that seun has bowed to their pressure, i dont want to hear marginalisation tomorrow

Ain't calling this a tram but I believe we shouldn't be celebrating ordinary locomotive trains when other countries have light speed trains and also trams which I know millions of Nigerians don't know the meaning

One or both partners are from Edo state, ishan to be precise. If your wife starts buying you fast food take aways, don't complain. Just know that she is trying to save your life. If she cheats on you, she cannot cook for you, otherwise you'd fall sick with no diagnosis and die eventually.

Fhemmmy:
Leave born again out of these . . . Let us take one simple example, father, mother and child in the house, they are all talking, do our culture give room for that child's opinion to be heard? when you were a child, lie to me that your feelings was never hurt cos of that, all you hear is "Adult are talkng, so shatappp" how far is such?

tpiah11:
your story does not make sense plz.

where in your own bible did you see the words "christian", "born again" and "mess around" used together?

Fhemmmy:
I smile in swahili for that comment . . . the woman commits adultery will make the man feel like he is dead? that is for a man that got it twisted . . . . I am still laffing so hard.

What happens here is what happens abroad.

Woman works with man to build a life, marries him poor, invests her money her youth her energy. Man hits it big, she suddenly isn't good enough, he throws her out and marries younger lover, she has nothing, old and tired she watches a younger woman enjoy the fruits of her labor and dies in misery and heart break.

Abroad, man hustles for years, makes enough money goes home picks a young " submissive" bride. They go abroad she sees the system goes crazy, kicks him out she doesn't need him, she earns a lot more, gets younger man, he is out in the cold, everything he works for gone with the wind, he is starting all over at 60 while pne young man is enjoying all he worked for all his life.

Its the same situation only difference is we hardly see headlines of " increase in rates of wives murdering their husband's " down here while the second one has loads of reports with people applauding and defending it

andromida:
But why did the men marry such women? and if the women are so evil why not divorce them?

Seeing as a woman can break a man he should do his due diligence to marry a woman who is good for him and become the kind of man who can command respect from his wife so that the children can learn how to respect themselves and others.
