Former Nigerian dictator Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida is adopting more desperate measures in the face of signs that his campaign for the Nigerian presidency has no steam.

Babangida’s latest misfortunes came from a video he uploaded to youtube. The video was an invitation to people to visit Babangida’s campaign website. But soon after the video was posted on youtube, anti-Babangida groups began mobilizing their members and the Nigerian public to leave critical comments on the youtube video page.

A source inside Babangida’s dispirited campaign told Saharareporters that several of Babangida’s staffers spent the last two days deleting negative postings and writing positive comments on the video. But by yesterday, when it became clear that they could not cope with the deluge of negative comments, the Babangida campaign office received instructions to lock down the commentary section on youtube.

The desperate step is the latest in a series of woes befalling the presidential dreams of the former dictator whose regime murdered foremost Nigerian journalist Dele Giwa in October 1986.

Since announcing his widely unpopular intention to run in the forthcoming presidential election, Babangida has blundered from one gaffe to another, earning derision and condemnation from Nigerians. The former dictator’s grave missteps include a statement that young Nigerians do not have what it takes to lead the country and a recent statement that he would not answer questions about the assassination of Giwa as well as his annulment of the June 12, 1993 presidential polls won by the late businessman Moshood Abiola. “General Babangida’s statements have been generally incoherent and even destructive to his ambition,” said one of the former dictator’s former associates who is not backing him for the presidency.

Babangida’s campaign has neither got any traction nor made any progress even as he is using part of the funds he looted from the public treasury to revive the campaigns. He was forced to abandon his much-publicized campaign stop in Ibadan, capital of Oyo State, after youths warned that they would not let him appear in the ancient city.

“Lots of people are taking IBB’s money, but no one is really buying his snake oil,” said a civil rights activist in Abuja.

Babangida is widely hated by Nigerians, including many who were not even born when he was chased out of power in 1993 following his annulment of the June 12 1993 general elections.

In addition to his political crimes, Babangida stands accused of stealing over $12 billion from the Gulf War oil windfall of 1991. The letter bomb murder of Dele Giwa ranks as one of his most notorious crimes.

Military intelligence sources also accuse him of killing many military officers opposed to his rule either by implicating them in phony coup plots or, in a highly dramatic instance, by ordering the sabotage of a military jet carrying many officers.

His economic policy, known as the Structural Adjustment Program (SAP), was largely responsible for destroying the Nigerian economy in the 1980s and decimating the country’s middle class.

“Babangida has managed to evade trial for his many crimes against the Nigerian people by using his illegitimately acquired wealth to buy his cronies, like former President Obasanjo, into office,” said a former military intelligence operative. “These cronies in turn offer him state protection.”

As his campaign flounders, Babangida yesterday resorted to his usual divide-and-conquer form of politics. He stated that he only wants to stay in office for one term after which he would turn over power to an Igbo successor.

But a major Igbo politician told Saharareporters that Babangida’s cheap ploy would win him few votes in the southeast. “The Igbos have borne the brunt of institutional marginalization promoted by Babangida and his colleagues in the army,” said the politician, adding that the former dictator unceremoniously removed Commodore Ebitu Ukiwe, an officer of Igbo extraction, from his post number 2 in IBB’s regime. “Ukiwe was disgraced and humiliated despite the fact that he was one of the most upright and admirable officers in the Nigerian military,” said the politician.

Jesus is not God. God cannot die or be killed. There is only one God. Saying he is the Son of God and God makes no sense whatsoever. People are really good at being poets. Those that says that God is three in one the father, God the son, and God the holy spirit no not what they speak. if u take one away from the other that one is 1/3 out of the three and cant be anything else. God is only 1 god.

Jesus never said he was God. and if you needed to believe he was God to reach salvation he would have made it bright and clear by saying "I AM GOD" many times. Also Jesus never said anywhere in the Bible, im not talking about the other stuff said by paul because paul was not of God, that he he came to die for the sins of the world. He said I solely came to save to lost tribe of Israel. The israelites went away from God's teachings so Jesus was sent to bring them back to the Word of God but the Jews rejected him and had him crucified. Even up till this day the Jews still reject Jesus. Jesus was the messiah to the Jews/The Jewish Messiah.

Go in the Bible And pull out the Verse( which is in red, jesus' words are in red) where Jesus says he came to die for the sins of the world and so that all will be forgiven no matter what as long as they confess Jesus. Show the verse that says trinity(God the father, God the son, and God the holy spirit) and dont give me the verse where it say baptize in the name of the father,son, and holy spirit. I said God THE father, God THE son, and God THE holy spirit.


There is no such thing as mother of God. God does not have a mother. God cannot beget and neither is begotten.

Has any other candidate for Abia governorship come forward yet?

History is often one sided and bias. History is told by the winners.

Kobojunkie:
He is running for president? The man is seeking to guarantee his come back as governor. The desperate moves of the past couple of months has been to run the way that will guarantee him another term . . . I doubt the useless thing can make president, even in a place like Nigeria.

They are not only trying to set themselves up to come back as governor but also to be presidential candidates for 2015, hoping that the zoning thing actually goes through. they are useless people! Exactly to the bolded i wish he and the rest can get it through their empty heads!

Wow! . So all these dudes care about is running for presidency in 2015! Say good-bye to Obi because it seems as tho theyve all been planning this from the beginning withe the whole No SE governor will run for presidency thing come 2011. Now i see. Thats why they all attended to PDP induction of Nwodo. Well from now i encourage all Igbo people to declare Agha in nigeria if any of these SE governors runs for presidency in 2015

Big B1:
Just like many other lost Nigerians, You continue to bash a man that is publicly asking to be given a change to come and clean up this country, but yet you find it very difficult to name a single candidate that can match IBB's magnificent capabilities.

We must look ahead of sentiment and allow a real leader to lead this nation to the promise land.

Whether im lost or found i will never support such a man who to away the dreams of both of two majority ethnic tribes, Igbo and Yoruba. just to satisfy his useless ambition which never even bore fruit neither of the two times!

bk.babe97y:
Chyzzzzzzz, ma nicca! G'ahead and vote for the killer! lol

only if the same thing is promised to happen to him as abiola, then ill vote with pleasure.

Big B1:
Nothing against Igbos; I love them so much, they make good wives.
But Igbos need zoning agreement more than anything else to come close to Aso Rock.

Just ask uncle Jonathan how he got his current position.

Thats redundant we all already know igbo women make good wives but thats not the matter at hand. Igbos dont need zoning anymore that anybody in this country but it seems an tho northerners are craving for it more than anything. i wonder why?hhhhmmmm. i could be hecause they dont really have the population as the south and that they never one presidency without a coup;except for the embarrassing rigging of yaradua, buhahahahah  

bk.babe97y:
Lol. hahahahahahahha. Watch the Ibo crabs ---with their low self-esteem--- believe this joker!

Go finish your dinner!

Big B1:
Zoning agreement must be acknowledged, or else it will take another 50 yrs to see another Igbo president.

Yeah right! Like the Igbos are suppose to believe such lies. Igbo presidency does not rely on the decision of a couple hausa/fulanis. if they want presidency make they go to Chad na Niger. No zoning! after one region gets zoning it will take forever for it to come back to that region.what king of slavery system is that?!!!!!!!

Not surprised.like i said jonathan favors the North.He always gives them the best positions.He's no different from the rest, only appointing people from the North and SW, same old story. JONATHAN MUST GO! RIBADU MUST COME!

bk.babe97y:
To say u are an im.be.cile, would be paying you a huuuugggeee compliment! You are an idi.o.ta  of the highest order! Even Elmo got more brains than u! Look at the quote below and tell me u just dont realize how foolish u (and the rest of the Ibos u stu.pi*idly claimed a "point" for) really are!!!


slowpoke! WE= AMERICANS! DO U GET IT NOW U HORRENDOUSLY FOOLISH IBO MAN?!!

Oh dont try to switch now. u slipped up and got caught. [size=15pt]EVERYBODY SHOULD READ MY PREVIOUS POST "BKbABE" ADMITS HE'S YORUBA![/size]

After all that starvation and land destruction. Igbo land today has the lowest poverty rate in nigeria. bruhahahaha

Let him continue to show our journey from rags to riches hahahaha

bk.babe97y:
I'm pretty sure u aint blind when I said we straight up annihilate!!! Fool, who r u to tell when a knife or fist is needed in a fight? lol. this is the same attitude that killed yall---no pun intended--- during the Biafran massacre!

check out the bolded. he just proved that he is indeed yoruba and not latino. Another point for Ndigbo!

bk.babe97y:
No, homo, I aint tryna rescue nobody! You morons threw my name in there; u called me out and where Im from all call-outs is mandatory! We dont chicken where Im from; fists, knives or guns. . . . biaaaatch!

Bravo! Nice screen play,

[size=18pt] Enugu herbalist takes 48th wife[/size]
…Says I have accomplished ambition of making my family
become a village. I will go to heaven because I am a good man

https://www.sunnewsonline.com/images/new%20-11.gif


An Enugu based herbalist and self-styled King Solomon of Africa, Dr OnuUwa Simon Odo, made history recently when he performed the traditional wedding rites to a 24-year-old girl to bring the total of his wives to 48.
The 64-year-old herbalist, who married his first wife at the age of 15 , by the recent marriage, now ranks among the world’s most polygamous men.

OnuUwa wedded Ndidi, a secondary school leaver at a flamboyant traditional marriage ceremony unprecedented in the annals of Ajii, a hinterland community in the Igbo Eze North Local Government Area, Enugu State.
The herbalist who said he specialized in healing the sick, especially those whose ailment had defied orthodox therapy; preparation of good luck and success charms, claimed to have received his power from Eze-Nwayi at an early age.

Although he told Daily Sun that his latest wife, Ndidi would be his last, a family source said it is doubtful if he could resist the urge to marry more wives, insisting that “he will marry again.”
OnuUwa, who said he was a baptized and confirmed Catholic, as well as a Mass server, denied any involvement in ritual sacrifices or shedding of human blood.
“I will go to heaven because I am a good man,” he boasted, adding that if he were bad, the gods would have punished him through his children or wives, pointing out that he has never recorded death of a child or wife.

It is just very wonderful how peaceful the family is, given its large population. Explaining the secrete behind the unprecedented harmony in his family, he attributed it to the strict adherence of members of his household to the written rules guiding his family, which he calls the “four commandments” that forbids them to steal, be jealous, fight or kill.

There is no barren woman in his household, but he refused to disclose the number of children he has.
“How can I tell you the number of children I have. You don’t count children, because they are gifts from God. Before you leave, one of my wives may give birth, would you not call me a liar?” the herbalist queried jokingly.
“My ambition to establish a village with my family has been realized. We are now more than a village,” he told Daily Sun. Hear him:

I once served mass
I started my herbal business in 1962 when I was 15 years. I was attending the Catholic Church. I was baptized and confirmed in the Catholic Church and I even served the mass. Because I was poisoned by my enemies I had to leave. I was born in 1947, the year locusts appeared in the sky.
My kind of herbal practice
Since I started the herbal practice in1962, I have been kind to my patients and I used my gift to help very many persons. If you give me $100 million to kill a human being, I will not take, I no dey “share” blood. I am a man and I cannot “share” blood because, God created the people.

I want to emulate King Solomon
No, it is not 47 wives, but 48. Yes, I married a very young secondary school leaver and did the traditional marriage recently. Her name is Ndidi and I love her too much I decided to marry the 48th wife because, it is what I desire to do. To marry many wives is ordained by God. For me, I want to marry like King Solomon in the Bible. God is helping me. I am healthy. I have the money and can marry as many wives as I like, since I am sexually active. Even in the next 30 years, I will still be sexually active. I am a herbalist and I know the power of plants and roots in our body.

Ndidi will be my last wife
Ndidi will be the last woman I will marry. I will not marry anybody again. I don’t want to marry any more. I am okay. I am getting older even though I am healthy; I am okay with 48 wives. I will not marry again; I don’t want to reach 50 wives. You want me to marry two more to make it 50, no!

How many wives have you, yourself?
The number of my children
They are plenty; I don’t know how many they are. You don’t count children, they are gifts from God. I don’t count them. It’s abomination to do so. What I know is that some of my wives have 10 children, some five, some four, some two. We have not recorded any death here either of a wife or child. The last wife is yet to get her own children. One of my daughters is a councilor, serving for the fourth tenure. My first son Emeka has married and he has six children and his first daughter is already married. I have 35 grand children. Many of my daughters are married. One of my wives just came back from the North where she went to see her daughter who gave birth recently. Some of my children are in the universities.
The work I do
The work I do is not by inheritance. It is a special gift from Eze Nwayi. She can choose anybody from the family irrespective of age. It is my destiny; nobody can learn it unless you are chosen because it is very, very hard.

When I will die
Yes I know, and it is God who will say it. When he says, I will know. How can you ask me that question? Do you want me to challenge God? No, I will not.
Me being a politician

I am the father of all the political parties, PDP is my own; PRP is my own; NCNC is my own, all of the parties are my own. Anyone of the politicians who want to contest, if he comes to me, I help the person. I like politics; I love it so much because it is the easiest way to make money in Nigeria today. I did not go to school otherwise I would have become a politician.

Yes, I helped many of them to become governors and commissioners, but I will not tell you their names. Why do you want to know their names? They come from Hausa, Igbo, Igala, Yoruba and other parts of Nigeria. Some are now in the National Assembly; when, you help them and they go up, they will not remember you again. They are wicked.

Achieving my dream of having a village as family
Yes, it has been achieved, God has made it possible, if you come to my house now, you can get more than 300 people, are they not up to a village?
My best wife
Thank you very much. My lovely wife and the one I love most is Ndidi, the last one. I love her most because she is yet to get her own children. When she gets issue up to two or four I will begin to love all of them equally.

Any Will?
I will not share my property now. I made no Will. If I do it now it will bring misunderstanding. God gave me obedient and good wives. Nobody is envious of her neighbour. Even if I die today, they know how to share my property peacefully because they know I am not a wicked man, I am not a bad person; God will never give me or my children power to do bad things. I am sure of that one.

Feeding my wives and children
Some of my sons have money. They are rich. My first son has his own house and is married with six children. The senior rich children are catering for their families. I only see to the upkeep of the junior ones. None of my children is useless. All of them are very responsible. That is why I have no problem.

My strength sexually at 64 and with 48 wives
Yes, I am strong 24 hours. Even in the next 30 years, I am on; in the next 30 good years I have the strength to meet my wives. Do you know the reason? I have no envy in me. I have no time to fight with anyone or struggle for something. Money is not my problem. I have never made case with anybody. I live a peaceful life. All these things make me to grow younger. I am always happy in my compound. Everybody knows what to do and what is forbidden. So, there is no quarrelling or scolding. My wives are happy. If there is no peace in my house it can weaken me both physically and spiritually. I feed very well. If a wife who should feed me for the day fails, another one will take over.

Any regrets in life?
Nothing whatsoever; absolutely nothing. I say nothing at all. I am fulfilled. God is so kind to me. I thank my God for everything. I don’t habour any ill feelings. Even all my wives know this. I don’t tolerate nonsense. If any of my wives misbehaves, I sack her . But thank God none of them has given cause for me to act in that way.
I married all my wives in the traditionally

I did not marry any of my wives in the Christian tradition. I married all of them in the pagan way. True, I was a Catholic and was baptized and confirmed in the Catholic Church and was a Mass server. I had to leave the church when I was poisoned by my enemy.

Advice to my children
I don’t want any of them to tell lies, I don’t want any of them to steal, I don’t want any of them to be jealous, I don’t want any of them to kill or do any evil. I told my children that any of them that disobeys the advice, I will disown him.

Ndidi: why I married my husband
My wedding the herbalist is the best thing that has happened to me in life. I am grateful to God for doing me the favour. He is my choice, nobody or circumstance forced me. I love him because he has a good reputation in our area and beyond. I relate well with other wives. As human beings, if we have any misunderstanding, we settle it immediately before our husband finds out because if he finds out, we will be in trouble.

Kobojunkie:
I doubt that  . . . . remember buhari was rumored to be the choice until Ribadu showed up only last month or two months ago. They probably feel he(Ribadu) though with next to no real leadership experience,but popular to some folks, is the best Northern hand to play at this time.

True. You got me there. In the case of buhari, i think nigerians today want something new instead of the same old recycled rulers of before. Ribadu would be the man though. however the northern elite dont see him as a "Northern" candidate because they fear his capability of bring their corruption to an end there for they will not support or sponsor him.

Kobojunkie:
AC is doing it , so why not?

Because none of them are good enough apart from Ribadu!

LMAO, what a comedy. so all the country must make a northern candidate for 2011. if not what will the do. i guess the whole country should jump when the ACF says jump. lol( in kanuri)

Oba234:
Nigga u know what the Zap I meant. if seems 30 yrs to you, then it's 30yrs. If it's 30 minutes, then thats what it is

Cry Cry baby LMAO. Such a bytch

Oba234:
really, I am surprise u just noticed. I have really been balling my eyes out for the past 30yrs minutes because of what some unknowns Igbos said online.  I just finished two boxes of kleenexes *tear* *tear* *tear* *tear*.

Hey dont kill urself man its just fun and games. Now is it 30yrs or 30 minutes? i see the panicking kicking in.  

Oba234:
honestly are you really this d.u.m.b? why is "good" I told the truth, when I never really told a lie in the first place? yea, u right hustling money in the most despicable ways known to man.  anybody knows an Heebo man would sell his soul for less than 2,000 naira, so what the Zap are you talking about.  please your people are worse than this political thugs. Just so you know how this Heebo mentality is hurting Nigeria's image abroad. I was in South Africa this summer and they hate Nigerians, why? because of you useless Igbos and your shady ways. In China, South Africa, South Korea, you guys are known as drug dealers and you have the nerve to talk about yoruba people selling their soul for 2,000 naira? Nigga r  u crazy.

Aigbofa:
And he paid dearly for it. What a way to go!!! To you, I guess it's better to have a clean butt than to have your head!!!!!   

stupi.d ibo monkey.

Cleanliness is next to Godliness. No be Yoruba ting.



Kachifo

Aigbofa:
Did you ever ask yourself, how Gideon was found out wiping his butt with the Koran?

He was obviously doing it in public view!! How silly could that be

Thank goodness he used something to wipe his azz unlike the Yoruba gorilla rillas!lol

Aigbofa:
I'm sure the people in that picture are Ibos because Yorubas are not known for doing their business in public view.

Example: Gideon Akaluka an ibo, was doing exactly the same thing as in that picture and wiping his butt with a copy of the Koran!!

Ask me what the Almajiris did to him.

It no be good to disown your brothas oooooo. at all at all. Yoruba ronu ooooo. u what timaya dey say "yankuluya"
