Next we will see buhari on a donkey and the apc e-warriors will be like " here is the honest buhari on a honest donkey! He even borrowed it! " Let vote for him!! nsai mbuhari!

All the aforementioned claims of achievement of buhari had been refuted and shown to be lies. No refinery was built be 1983-1985.
In the words of El rufai, "buhari has remained permanently unelectable " and this is a fact.

Informed Nigerians know it's not about good governance or lack of it, it's about power returning to the north.
we even feel more insulted when the followers of buhari would have us believe that he is the ONLY man that can "save" Nigeria; and I ask: assuming buhari dies, it therefore means Nigeria is doom. Smh.

The grounds on which General Buhari
is being promoted as the alternative
choice are not only shaky, but pitifully
naive. History matters. Records are not
kept simply to assist the weakness of
memory, but to operate as guides to
the future. Of course, we know that
human beings change. What the claims
of personality change or
transformation impose on us is a
rigorous inspection of the evidence,
not wishful speculation or behind-the-
scenes assurances. Public offence,
crimes against a polity, must be
answered in the public space, not in
caucuses of bargaining. In Buhari, we
have been offered no evidence of the
sheerest prospect of change. On the
contrary, all evident suggests that this
is one individual who remains
convinced that this is one ex-ruler that
the nation cannot call to order Buhari?
Need one remind anyone – was one of
the generals who treated a
Commission of Enquiry, the Oputa
Panel, with unconcealed disdain. Like
Babangida and Abdusalami, he refused
to put in appearance even though
complaints that were tabled against
him involved a career of gross abuses
of power and blatant assault on the
fundamental human rights of the
Nigerian citizenry. Prominent against
these charges was an act that
amounted to nothing less than judicial
murder, the execution of a citizen
under a retroactive decree. Does
Decree 20 ring a bell? If not, then,
perhaps the names of three youths –
Lawal Ojuolape (30), Bernard
Ogedengbe (29) and Bartholomew
Owoh (26) do. To put it quite plainly,
one of those three Ogedengbe – was
executed for a crime that did not carry
a capital forfeit at the time it was
committed. This was an
unconscionable crime, carried out in
defiance of the pleas and protests of
nearly every sector of the Nigerian
and international community religious,
civil rights, political, trade unions etc.
Buhari and his sidekick and his
partner-in-crime, Tunde Idiagbon
persisted in this inhuman act for one
reason and one reason only: to place
Nigerians on notice that they were
now under an iron, inflexible rule,
under governance by fear. The
execution of that youthful innocent for
so he was, since the punishment did
not exist at the time of commission –
was nothing short of premeditated
murder, for which the perpetrators
should normally stand trial upon their
loss of immunity. Are we truly
expected to forget this violation of our
entitlement to security as provided
under existing laws? And even if our
sensibilities have become blunted by
succeeding seasons of cruelty and
brutality, if power itself had so
coarsened the sensibilities also of
rulers and corrupted their judgment,
what should one rightly expect after
they have been rescued from the
snare of power. At the very least, a
revaluation, leading hopefully to
remorse, and its expression to a
wronged society. At the very least,
such a revaluation should engender
reticence, silence. In the case of
Buhari, it was the opposite. Since
leaving office he has declared in the
most categorical terms that he had no
regrets over this murder and would do
so again. Human life is inviolate. The
right to life is the uniquely
fundamental right on which all other
rights are based. The crime that
General Buhari committed against the
entire nation went further however,
inconceivable as it might first appear.
That crime is one of the most profound
negations of civic being. Not content
with hammering down the freedom of
expression in general terms, Buhari
specifically forbade all public
discussion of a return to civilian,
democratic rule. Let us constantly
applaud our media those battle
scarred professionals did not
completely knuckle down.
They resorted to cartoons and oblique,
elliptical references to sustain the
people’s campaign for a time-table to
democratic rule. Overt agitation for a
democratic time table however
remained rigorously suppressed
military dictatorship, and a specifically
incorporated in Buhari and Idiagbon
was here to stay. To deprive a people
of volition in their own political
direction is to turn a nation into a
colony of slaves. Buhari enslaved the
nation. He gloated and gloried in a
master-slave relation to the millions of
its inhabitants. It is astonishing to find
that the same former slaves, now free
of their chains, should clamour to be
ruled by one who not only turned their
nation into a slave plantation, but
forbade them any discussion of their
condition. So Tai Solarin is already
forgotten? Tai who stood at street
corners, fearlessly distributing leaflets
that took up the gauntlet where the
media had dropped it. Tai who was
incarcerated by that regime and
denied even the medication for his
asthmatic condition? Tai did not ask to
be sent for treatment overseas; all he
asked was his traditional medicine that
had proved so effective after years of
struggle with asthma! Nor must we
omit the manner of Buhari coming to
power and the pattern of his
corrective rule. Shagari’s NPN had
already run out of steam and was near
universally detested except of course
by the handful that still benefited from
that regime of profligacy and rabid
fascism. Responsibility for the national
condition lay squarely at the door of
the ruling party, obviously, but against
whom was Buharis coup staged?
Judging by the conduct of that regime,
it was not against Shagaris
government but against the
opposition. The head of government,
on whom primary responsibility lay,
was Shehu Shagari. Yet that individual
was kept in cozy house detention in
Ikoyi while his powerless deputy, Alex
Ekwueme, was locked up in Kiri-kiri
prisons. Such was the Buhari notion of
equitable apportionment of guilt and/
or responsibility.
And then the cascade of escapes of the
wanted, and culpable politicians.
Manhunts across the length and
breadth of the nation, roadblocks
everywhere and borders tight as steel
zip locks. Lo and behold, the chairman
of the party, Chief Akinloye, strolled
out coolly across the border. Richard
Akinjide, Legal Protector of the ruling
party, slipped out with equal ease. The
Rice Minister, Umaru Dikko, who
declared that Nigerians were yet to
eat f’rom dustbins – escaped through
the same airtight dragnet. The clumsy
attempt to crate him home was
punishment for his ingratitude, since
he went berserk when, after waiting in
vain, he concluded that the coup had
not been staged, after all, for the
immediate consolidation of the party
of extreme right-wing vultures, but for
the military hyenas. The case of the
overbearing Secretary-General of the
party, Uba Ahmed, was even more
noxious. Uba Ahmed was out of the
country at the time. Despite the
closure of the Nigerian airspace, he
compelled the pilot of his plane to
demand special landing permission,
since his passenger load included the
almighty Uba Ahmed. Of course, he
had not known of the change in his
status since he was airborne. The
delighted airport commandant,
realizing that he had a much valued
fish swimming willingly into a waiting
net, approved the request. Uba Ahmed
disembarked into the arms of a
military guard and was promptly
clamped in detention.
Incredibly, he vanished a few days
after and reappeared in safety
overseas. Those whose memories have
become calcified should explore the
media coverage of that saga. Buhari
was asked to explain the vanished act
of this much prized quarry and his
response was one of the most arrogant
levity. Coming from one who had shot
his way into power on the slogan of
discipline, it was nothing short of
impudent. Shall we revisit the
tragicomic series of trials that landed
several politicians several lifetimes in
prison? Recall, if you please, the
judicial processes undergone by the
septuagenarian Chief Adekunle Ajasin.
He was arraigned and tried before
Buhari’s punitive tribunal but
acquitted. Dissatisfied, Buhari ordered
his re-trial. Again, the Tribunal could
not find this man guilty of a single
crime, so once again he was returned
for trial, only to be acquitted of all
charges of corruption or abuse of
office. Was Chief Ajasin thereby
released? No! He was ordered
detained indefinitely, simply for the
crime of winning an election and
refusing to knuckle under Shagari’s
reign of terror. The conduct of the
Buhari regime after his coup was not
merely one of double, triple, multiple
standards but a cynical travesty of
justice. Audu Ogbeh, currently
chairman of the Action Congress was
one of the few figures of rectitude
within the NPN. Just as he has done in
recent times with the PDP, he played
the role of an internal critic and
reformer, warning, dissenting, and
setting an example of probity within
his ministry. For that crime he spent
months in unjust incarceration.
Guilty by association? Well, if that was
the motivating yardstick of the
administration of the Buhari justice,
then it was most selectively applied.
The utmost severity of the Buhari-
Idiagbon justice was especially
reserved either for the opposition in
general, or for those within the ruling
party who had showed the sheerest
sense of responsibility and patriotism.
Shall I remind this nation of Buhari’s
deliberate humiliating treatment of
the Emir of Kano and the Oni of Ife
over their visit to the state of Israel? I
hold no brief for traditional rulers and
their relationship with governments,
but insist on regarding them as
entitled to all the rights, privileges and
responsibilities of any Nigerian citizen.
This royal duo went to Israel on their
private steam and private business.
Simply because the Buhari regime was
pursuing some antagonistic foreign
policy towards Israel, a policy of which
these traditional rulers were not a
part, they were subjected on their
return to a treatment that could only
be described as a head masterly
chastisement of errant pupils. Since
when, may one ask, did a free citizen
of the Nigerian nation require the
permission of a head of state to visit a
foreign nation that was willing to offer
that tourist a visa? One is only too
aware that some Nigerians love to
point to Buhari’s agenda of discipline
as the shining jewel in his scrap-iron
crown. To inculcate discipline
however, one must lead by example,
obeying laws set down as guides to
public probity. Example speaks louder
than declarations, and rulers cannot
exempt themselves from the
disciplinary structures imposed on the
overall polity, especially on any issue
that seeks to establish a policy for
public well-being. The story of the
thirty something suitcases it would
appear that they were even closer to
fifty – found unavoidable mention in
my recent memoirs, YOU MUST SET
FORTH AT DOWN, written long before
Buhari became spoken of as a credible
candidate. For the exercise of a
changeover of the national currency,
the Nigerian borders air, sea and land
had been shut tight.
Nothing was supposed to move in or
out, not even cattle egrets.
Yet a prominent camel was allowed
through that needles eye. Not only did
Buhari dispatch his aide-de-camp,
Jokolo later to become an emir- to
facilitate the entry of those cases, he
ordered the redeployment as I later
discovered – of the Customs Officer
who stood firmly against the entry of
the contravening baggage. That
officer, the incumbent Vice-president
is now a rival candidate to Buhari, but
has somehow, in the meantime, earned
a reputation that totally contradicts his
conduct at the time. Wherever the
truth lies, it does not redound to the
credibility of the dictator of that time,
General Buhari whose word was law,
but whose allegiances were clearly
negotiable.
On the theme of double, triple,
multiple standards in the enforcement
of the law, and indeed of the decrees
passed by the Buhari regime at the
time, let us recall the notorious case of
Triple Alhaji Alhaji Alhaji, then
Permanent Secretary in the Ministry
of Finance. Who was caught, literally,
with his pants down in distant Austria.
That was not the crime however, and
private conduct should always remain
restricted to the domain of private
censure.
There was no decree against civil
servants proving just as hormone
driven as anyone else, especially
outside the nation’s borders.
However, there was a clear decree
against the keeping of foreign
accounts, and this was what emerged
from the Austrian escapade. Alhaji
Alhaji kept, not one, but several
undeclared foreign accounts, and he
had no business being in possession of
the large amount of foreign currency
of which he was robbed by his
overnight companion. The media
screamed for an even application of
the law, but Buhari had turned
suddenly deaf. By contrast, Fela
Anikulapo languished in goal for years,
sentenced under that very draconian
decree. His crime was being in
possession of foreign exchange that he
had legitimately received for the
immediate upkeep of his band as they
set off for an international
engagement. A vicious sentence was
slapped down on Fela by a judge who
later became so remorse stricken at
least after Buhari’s overthrow that he
went to the King of Afro-beat and
apologized.
Lesser known was the traumatic
experience of the director of an
international communication agency,
an affiliate of UNESCO. Akin Fatoyinbo
arrived at the airport in complete
ignorance of the new currency decree.
He was thrown in gaol in especially
brutal condition, an experience from
which he never fully recovered. It took
several months of high-level
intervention before that innocent man
was eventually freed. These were not
exceptional but mere sample cases
from among hundreds of others,
victims of a decree that was selectively
applied, a decree that routinely
penalized innocents and ruined the
careers and businesses of many.
What else? What does one choose to
include or leave out? What precisely
was Ebenezer Babatope’s crime that
he should have spent the entire tenure
of General Buhari in detention?
Nothing beyond the fact that he once
warned in the media that Buhari was
an ambitious soldier who would bear
watching through the lenses of a coup-
detat. Babatope’s father died while he
was in Buhari’s custody, the dictator
remained deaf to every plea that he
be at least released to attend his
father’s funeral, even under guard. I
wrote an article at the time,
denouncing this pointless insensitivity.
So little to demand by a man who was
never accused of, nor tried for any
crime,much less found guilty. Such a
load of vindictiveness that smothered
all traces of basic human compassion
deserves no further comment in a
nation that values its traditions.
But then, speaking the truth was not
what Buhari, as a self-imposed leader,
was especially enamoured of enquire
of Tunde Thompson and Nduka Irabor
both of whom, faithful to their
journalistic calling, published nothing
but the truth, yet ended up sentenced
under Buhari’s decree. Mind you, no
one can say that Buhari was not true to
his word. Shall tamper with the
freedom of the press swore the
dictator immediately on grabbing
office, and this was exactly what he
did. And so on, and on, and on………

“If the truth must be said, Buhari remain the only real threat to PDP wither he runs for the presidency or not due to his wider followership among the masses that now hit the elite circle.“
-SEN. MAKARFI.

I have learn not to rate buhari by what selected few corrupt elites say about him, but by what he (buhari ) said about them.
concerning abacha , buhari said he ( abacha ) didn't steal any money. Buhari has never criticise obj because he was a saint. He said boko haram are freedom fighters. He said he borrowed money to build all his houses, when he (buhari ) is earning the full salary of the current president. We are wiser than buhari, and we will reject him for the lies he told.

HKCOMPANY:
Op is not a yoruba thing, me as an igbo, not even every state in igbo land i can marry from
I can marry from this states
enugu 90 % possible
anambra 80% possible
Almost impossible for me to get married from this places
abia 2% possible
imo 5% possible
Ebony 10 %possible
Hausa 100% impossible
Yoruba 2 % possible
Niger deltas 1% possible
You see is not a tribal some thing and am igbo from enugu state, is choice or you can call it tradition

Don't worry keep waiting. from ur post It is safe to say you have a warped notion about other tribes, and that's prejudice. Good luck to u and ur would be town husband.

The truth is, tribalism in marriage doesn't arise when you are famous and rich. when money speaks, tribalism dissolves. Fact.

datribune:
Hahahaha pathetic mudslinging. GEJ, PDP & Madueke ar getting desperate. its going down. d clueless one is clinging to straws. Hahahaha Change is coming.

Your saint buhari is no match for gej-fact.
He made unfounded allegation against nnpc and they responded, and u call it mudslinging? so be it.
The last time u guys voted buhari, did he win?
We are just fed up with lies coming from buhari and his supporters. If u guys must raise issues, be truthful and not just concoct stories that can't be verified.
sorry ur buhari is a bad product, I'm sure u know it too.

sodiqjimoh7:
OBJ SPEAKS ON GMB

“Gen. Muhammadu Buhari is an upright man. Not many people know that his first daughter is married to an Igbo man from Anambra.

"He exempted Christians from performing duty on Sundays.When his Muslim soldiers asked him to exempt them from duty on Fridays he told them the bible says Christians should rest on the 7th day, the Muslims should show him where the Koran says they should rest on Fridays.

"As Head of State he slashed the number of Muslims going on pilgrimage by 50%. His driver and cook for the past 10 years plus are Christians yet some uninformed Nigerians say he is a bigot.

It is a pity that some people failed to understand that PDP deliberately capitalised on the gullibility of Nigerians to paint him black.This they did in order to keep their loot and ensure that he never gets the opportunity to send them to jail.

"How many Nigerians would hold appointment in government as Minister of Petroleum, PTF Chairman and Head of State, yet don’t own a house in Abuja or all over Nigeria.

"He has only one house and never kept a foreign account.Love him or hate him but you cannot take his integrity away from him.” – OBASANJO FACT

Obj never said any of these false stories u copied and paste; and for ur information, buhari's daughter was married to
a fellow Hausa Moslem,
Captain Junaidu Abdulahi. I will like that u give us a link when next u want to copy and paste

These were lies told by buhari supporters to portray him as a patriot. Never in life has buhari's daughter marry an igbo man. Buhari never employed the services of a Christian cook.

God bless responsible fathers! u can't do it because u aren't yet a father. This man is an example of a responsible father.

Is she the 3rd or 4th wife to buhari? What happened to the set of wives buhari had in 1983?

op are u not tired? Hate kills faster than ebola and u are already infected.

nijanigga:
But Iherijirika emptied the Nigerian army's purse dry.He looted from our peacekeepers's allowances unchecked.Any one remembered how our returning pacekeepers had to vex their anger on him before they got paid pitance? He has so many bloods in his hands for depriving many of our fallen heroes weapons they needed.

Do you have any facts to support your claims or u are just driven by hate?

Raikishi:
Its not about captured towns but security of lives, I just finished complaining on another thread about the celebrating mediocrity.

Can anybody on this forum tell me one thing in Nigeria that works?


We must change this government, kick out a system that does not work! Let's try something new at least and see. Haba!!! E never tire una?

Tell me what was working before, I'm ready to learn. present verifiable facts and not conjectures borne out of sentiment and hear say.

Pls Sir, what is Buhari not?

buhari is not the messiah as you would have us believe, rather it's a plot to return power to the north. The call for change is never because of bad governance, it's because power has left the north and ur masters cant stand it.

banki:
kai.... you guys don't get tired... weve heard all of these before.....

Meanwhile lets also dig up Jonathans past....

Tell us about his time as governor of bayelsa state, tell us about his romance with EFCC and his wife, Tell us where all the money form subsidies went? in 2011 when we were supposed to be enjoying a mini boom as a result of the crisis in Libya Syria and Baharain? tell us about how many people have died under jonathans watch, tell us why he endorses corruption.... tell us why the sponsors of TAN are the same people that stole subsidy funds, when you can tell us some of this things I will believe you mr Op

The onus is on you to show with facts, as done by the writer,.all you have against gej. As for your Messiah buhari, Nigerians know better than what you party supporters will wish they know.

urhoboman:
an Urhoboman voting for change.

k. And the change is?

sai buhari! so much for Mr " integrity "

urhoboman:
^^Jonathians!!!

Really? And you?

informed Nigerians are waiting for. 2015 to say to buhari, probably stamp on his forehead " REJECTED ".

You will never tell Nigerians the good
side of PDP government. APC supporters
and their hypocrite.... OUR
HYPOCRISY...OUR LIES! When in look at
how partisanship has blinded our sense
or judgment and fairness and respect for
others' rights, I just laugh. And this
stems from the attitude of my brothers
and sisters on the other side of the
political divide and those who just don't
like Jonathan's face. Okie,checkizienu,
imagine these: If you are a Southern
Christian and you support the president,
you are TRIBALIST. But a Northern
Muslim/Hausa Fulani who supports
Buhari/Atiku is not! If you are seen
pushing the president's case, you are
PAID to do that, when you do that for
opposition, you are a patriot. Ndi ara!
When an editor writes an editorial that is
sympathetic to the president, he has
been BOUGHT, but the one that abuses
the president like Sahara reporters and
other religious fanatics are FREEDOM
FIGHTERS. A blogger that posts stories
positive about Nigeria is a shame and
paid, but Sahara Reporters is a credible
source of news. When you support
Jonathan, you are a JONATHANIAN.
Meanwhile, I am still looking for
someone tagged BUHARIST for
supporting the retired general. When
you support a Jonathan and PDP, you
'hate' Nigeria. But when you support a
Kwankwaso who spent FOURTEEN YEARS
in PDP and has only been APC member
for ELEVEN MONTHS, you are pushing for
change! When local government
elections are held in opposition state and
the ruling party clears all the seats,
DEMOCRACY IS AT WORK, but INEC
cannot be trusted to conduct election. In
fact, when such happens in PDP state, it
is rigged. When APC wins a bye-election,
the PEOPLE have SPOKEN, but when
reverse is the case, then INEC has
worked for PDP. A PDP member since
1999 who decamps to APC today at the
age 70 has become a progressive, but an
APC member who moves the other
direction, has left 'light' for 'darkness'.
All the billions being spent by PDP to
prosecute election preparations are
'stolen', but the ones being spent by
opposition fall from sky. When a minister
buys house in Lekki, he has stolen. But a
Lagos commissioner who shares fence
with him/her (and even and bigger
house) took 'mortgage' to built his own!
Na only Buhari waka go borrow 27million
na wey him take purchase APC
presidential form but Jonathan is
corrupt...Nkaliuka! The crowd at the
president's declaration was 'rented' but
all those who came to Buhari's were not.
In fact, some of them trekked from
Sokoto to Abuja and did not eat for three
days because they love the
Buhari...story for the gods! And if you
read this and it pricks your conscience,
instead of reflecting on it, you will put on
a bold face and tag me a Jonathanian and
a PDP apologist. Abegi, wetin you go tag
yourself? Obamaian? Buharist? Atikuist?
Kwankwasonian? Amaechist? APC
irredentist? Joor, my hand dey pain me
jare. I wan go drink my coffee...
curled from okafor

London (NDR) - Bandwagon is
actually the best way to
describe the "love" some
people have for Buhari. A lot
of people join others in
proclaiming how upright the
man is, but when you engage
them in discussions to
actually give you points on
why they think highly of him,
they struggle to give points.
The question I often ask is,
based on what premises do
these people come to that
conclusion?
Anyone who is willing to
teach me this should do so.
I'm willing to learn. But
before you play the Semantic
Hero, be very careful with
me, I may not have been to
Harvard, but I can hold my
own anywhere and anytime.
To me, Buhari, is a
pretentious anti-corruption
fighter.
Buhari in my view is too old
to be contesting for
president. Hey! Before you
remind me that Nelson
Mandela became South
African president at 70, all
I’m saying is that, if we know
what is good for us, Buhari
should first of all inform us of
his health status. A 70-year
old man who will be 73 in
2015 should reveal to us his
health status. At 70, most
people actually live on drugs
and food supplements.

Buhari is a coup plotter. He
plotted a coup that ousted a
democratically elected
president. No civilised
democratic society would
elect the likes of Buhari as
President, the same
individual who overthrew an
elected President. Before you
give me that excuse of his
plotting a coup due to
corruption, remember that
ALL coup plotters alleges
their main reason is because
politicians are corrupt and
there has been break down of
law & order. For Buhari to
president is like asking a
pirate who hijacked your ship
& sank it, to become a captain
to lead a rescue mission for
the ship.

Buhari is an ethnic bigot, as
part of his tribalistic
practices, he placed President
Shagari under house arrest
inside a palatial mansion in
Ikoyi but he locked up
Shagari's vice, Alex Ekwueme
in Kirikiri. Shagari is an
Hausa/Fulani like him while
Alex Ekwueme is an Igboman.
This action of jailing
Ekwueme is ethnically fired!

Buhari jailed Fela Anikulapo -
Kuti on trumped up charges
under emergency law which
prompted the sentencing
judge to confess that he was
ordered to do so and
apologised to Fela. It was
Buhari's administration that
said it has "decided to deal
with this Fela problem once
and for all."

Buhari locked up politicians
without trial, and his critics
not just Fela who was
notorious for clamouring for
the exposure of the oil money
rogue. Mrs. Vera Ifudu, who
was an NTA reporter then,
was sacked through his
prodding as military ruler,
for reporting what Dr.
Olusola Saraki had told her in
an interview about how the
missing money was traced to
Buhari’s account at Midland
Bank London branch. Vera
eventually won her case of
wrongful dismissal in court
against the NTA and was
financially compensated.

Dim Emeka Odimegwu
Ojukwu, who returned from
13 years exile, just a little
over a year then was as well
locked up in Kirikiri Prison by
Buhari. Up till today we were
not told what his offence was.

Buhari ransacked the house
of Chief Obafemi Awolowo
and confisticated his
International passport. We
were not told what Awolowo
did till date.

He convinced all the northern
political leaders against
allowing the National Identity
Card program because this
would unravel d myth of
Northern population
majority.

Buhari is an oligarch who
does not believe in equality
before the law. He jailed
Chief Lateef Jakande, Mr. Jim
Nwobodo, Ambrose Ali,
Adekunle Ajasin, Ayo
Ojewumi on cases that have
no basis. Ayo Ojewumi
became blind as a result of
his imprisonment over false
charges and died shortly
after. Prof. Ambrose Alli also
became blind as a result of
this false imprisonment.
Adekule Ajasin was never the
same after his eventual
release and remained sickly
for the rest of his life.

Buhari allowed Awwal
Ibrahim (Niger State
governor), who was arrested
in Heathrow Airport in
London with 14 million
pounds sterling and several
millions of Niara & dollars to
be under house arrest.

He put in place a retroactive
law that killed three
(innocent) men by public
execution. But he left
untouched Ibrahim
Babangida, an alleged well
known drug baron who later
overthrew his government.

Buhari jailed Ndukar Irabor
and Tunde Thompson of the
Guardian Newspaper on
stories that were factually
true under Decree 4 and told
the Nigerian journalists then
that it did not matter whether
the story reported was true
or not, if his regime did not
like it, d writer would go to
jail.

Busari Adelakun died of ulcer
because Buhari refused him
to be taken out of prison the
immediate medical attention.
The then Gov. of Ogun State,
Bisi Onabanjo suffered
similar fate which we were
told led to his untimely
death.

Buhari jailed Sam Mbakwe,
went for one of Mbakwe's
wives too. He established
himself again for what he
was/is by letting Mbakwe
receive the news of the death
of another of Mbakwe's two
wives while in prison.

Buhari's henchman and
sponsor, CPC governorship
candidate for Kano State in
2011, was Mohammed Abacha
– the same person that ran a
personal killing squad,
coordinated the killing of
Kudirat Abiola and attempted
to kill Mr. Alex Ibru.

Buhari is unforgiving. When
he was in power in 1983, he
remembered an article
written long time ago by Bisi
Onabanjo titled, "the Mallams
are coming" and a later one in
which Onabanjo wrote people
should watch out for that
"gangly officer from the north"
after Buhari gave a no holds
barred speech at some Army
function where he was
reported to be very openly
pro-Fulani and pro-Islam to
the exclusive of all else and
also talked about termination
of democratic rule. Onabanjo
got a harsh jail terms and
treatments.

Buhari supervised the
smuggling of 53 suitcases
filled with cash against the
protests of General Tunde
Idiagbon and ironicall
Abubakar Atiku, former
Director General of the
Customs, a compromised
politician who later became
the Vice President. The
smuggling was supervis
Buhari's ADC, Col. Mustapha
Jokolo.


Buhari 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 unfit to lead the
country. Apathy and evil
work hand in hand. They are
the same basically. Evil wills
it, apathy allows it, and
apathy - is not bothered so
long as it is not personally
inconvenienced.
We should never to be silent
whenever and wherever
human beings endure
suffering and humiliation. We
must always take sides.
Neutrality helps the oppressor,
never the victim. Silence
encourages the tormentor,
never the tormented- Elie
Weisel. Buhari is not Boko
Haram, but he, like so many
of the rest of the Northern
leaders including the sultan
have not openly and seriously
condemned the activities of
members of Boko Haram.
Being silent in the midst of
another's suffering, even
when your in a position to
speak against it, you are
either tacitly supporting the
evil and/or in fact enjoying it.
Buhari has never been able
to account to Nigerians what
he did with the 20 billion
Naira of the PTF of which he
was the chairman under Sani
Abacha and has not been able
to point to any project that he
prosecuted outside the North
with the trust fund. Buhari
discriminated against persons
from other ethnic groups; as
PTF Chairman, he employed
an overwhelming number of
Fulani/Hausa/Moslem at the
detriment of other groups
and concentrated PTF
projects in the North. El Rufai
testified to this, when he
wrote about Katsina boys who
used the money they made at
PTF to bankroll Yar'Adua's
election in 1999.
Mallam El-Rufai wishes to
remind General Buhari that
he has remained perpetually
unelectable because his
record as military head of
state and afterwards, is a
warning that many Nigerians
have wisely heeded. His
insensitivity to Nigeria’s
diversity and his parochial
focus are already well-
known.
El-Rufai said the whole world
is now being ruled by young
people and wondered why
old blood should continue to
rule Nigeria. Obama is 48 and
Cameron is 43 for God’s sake.
So, why are we recycling
leaders that ruled this
country very well or very
badly 25 years ago?
El-Rufai said: “I was 25 years
old when Buhari and
Babangida were Heads of
State and now am 50 and they
still want to be. I don’t
understand that. I don’t
understand that at all and I
call on young people of
Nigeria to take their future
into their hands and ensure
in the next election, they vote
for a new generation of
leaders.
We will not make progress
until we break the link from
the past and move on. 70% of
Nigerians are below the age
of 40. Many of these young
people, the next generation,
as they are called, are on
internet services such as
Facebook & twitter, using
Blackberry & if you ask any of
these people running for
presidency, they will think
Blackberry is a fruit. So, we
have to move away from
there and stop thinking that
this leadership thing is all
about us or all about
individuals.
We must put the future of the
country at heart and give way
to a new generation of
leadership. He further said
people like President
Babangida and General
Buhari should just disappear.
They should give way to a
new set of people with new
ideas. Young people
preferably.
Now I ask, why did El- rufai
suddenly turn to Buhari's
protege? What agreement
was reached between the duo
that made him start singing
praises of a man he
castigated and accused of
smuggling in 2010? The same
El-rufai told us Buhari's
daughter (who just passed
away) was married to an Igbo
man. By sharing what
someone else posted on
Facebook without proper
verification. It took the
innocent girl's death for us to
know that she was married to
a fellow Hausa Moslem,
Captain Junaidu Abdulahi - all
in a bid to launder Buhari's
Islamic image.
Buhari is intolerant. When he
was adopted as the ANPP's
candidate on the night of the
party's primaries without
prior warning to other
candidates and a few of them
protested, Buhari made a
speech that those people
must be disciplined.
IBB and his crew similarly
ran rings around Buhari. On
the 10th anniversary of
Abacha's demise, Buhari said
Abacha stole nothing from
Nigeria! This is in spite of
millions of dollars recovered
from banks around the world
and Abacha family signing a
formal agreement to return
over $1 billion dollars, Buhari
insisted Abacha's stealing
remains an unproved
allegation. Why? He said this
because Abacha set him up
like an emperor and let him
use oil money from the Niger
Delta to develop the North
without supervision or
questions.
To add insult to injury, Buhari
snubbed the same Nigerians
he now wants their votes by
refusing to appear before
Justice Oputa Truth and
Reconciliation Panel. Buhari
knew how important
reconciliation is to the
stability of democracy. He has
never apologised at anytime.
This is the same way CPC
loyalists massacred and
lynched Nigerian youth
corpers after the last
election. A refined politician
is expected to tender an
apology on behalf of the
ignorant loyalists. Buhari
refused to apologise. He
argued that the mob were
angry because election was
rigged. Is that sufficient to
take the life of another?
Buhari forgot or pretended to
have forgotten CPC rigged the
election too by registering
under aged voters. He who
comes to equity must come
with clean hands and he who
seeks equity must do equity.
Buhari concentrated on
allegations of rigged election
rather than on human life.
The three men executed by
Buhari were Lawal Ojuolape
(30), Bernard Ogedengbe (29)
and Bartholomew Owoh (26).
One of those three –
Ogedengbe - was executed for
a crime that did not carry
capital punishment at the
time it was committed. Killing
people with retroactive laws
is not a civilised thing to do. It
is murder and same as Aluu 4
incident.
He enjoys mostly the support
of the North. A man who
intends to lead a country as
diverse as Nigeria is not
willing to get the attention of
other ethnic groups. Neither
does he attempt to campaign
in other regions.
If Nigerians intend to remove
President Goodluck Jonathan
come 2015, then, pitching
Buhari against him is
definitely not a good idea.
copied from news day.

The question u apc supporters should answer is: did buhari make those statements?
Buhari said Abacha didn't steal any money yet we all know that Britain is still returning abacha's loot till date. so much for Mr integrity.

Going by their records, I will say Nigeria has the least percentage of criminals - 0.78% while Algeria leads by 3.38%. The truth is that Nigerians are law abiding outside Nigeria, and it's wrong for people to keep tagging us criminal.

Now this must be the progressives!!! sai rochas son in-law.

Imagine if it were between Deziany and Gej, the people shouting "it's a harmless hug" would be insulting the persons involved. For me, the pictures may mean nothing but that was a good sweet hug.

This must be the definition of "progressives!!"

brownlord2:
If APC have 3 out of 5 presidential candidate as ex pdp, Including Tambuwal who would have made it 4, then PDP is right. I am sure no party in any part of the world has this record, having high ranking members and presidential candidate from a corrupt party.

Apc seem confused and want to give pdp the chance to ride us for another 4 years with their "power must return to North " agenda

No dear u are wrong! Immediately they change from pdp to the dump site, sorry I mean apc; their sins are cleansed and they became progressives.

Chisos!!! see upper cut! apc is equal to pdp dump/dumb site!!

When the pound was equals to the Naira...










But now

When was that?
The pound was the currency of Nigeria
between 1907 and 1973. Until 1958,
Nigeria used the British West African
pound , after which it issued its own
currency. The pound was subdivided
into 20 shillings, each of 12 pence. The
Nigerian pound (which was at parity
with the British pound with easy
convertibility was replaced with the
introduction in 1973 of the decimal
naira at a rate of 1 pound = 2 naira.[2]
This made Nigeria the last country to
abandon the £sd currency system.

Op don't call prayer house "prophet " a pastor. From your story It's safe to say your wife has been patronizing these seers before she married u; probably she believes she got.married through the help of these fake demonic seers. you are on a long thing, because a person who is patronizing these prayer houses is worse than the devil.
