kay1one:And this is your only grouse with him..smh. What have your so called christian or muslim folks ever done for us besides plundering our commonwealth & impoverishing us further? I'm sure in your parochial mind as with your fellow religious fanatics,you'd rather be led by a corrupt christian/muslim which is literally 90% of all religious folks anyway than an upright Atheist. It's a sorry state of affairs |
vislabraye:Let me help out here... ON Friday, 23rd August, 1985, the military government of Major-General Mohammadu Buhari decided to place me under arrest. My crime was that I wrote, among others, an article entitled: “Counter-trading Nigeria’s Future” in the National Concord, exposing the government’s scam of diverting public funds into private coffers through barter-trade with Brazil. A man by the name of Benson Norman was sent from the State Security Services (SSS) to my office to get me. Not finding me, he left a note that I must present myself unfailingly at the SSS office at 15 Awolowo Road, Ikoyi Lagos the next Monday morning. However, on Sunday, 25th August, 1985, Lateef Aminu came first thing in the morning to my house to inform me that the government of Buhari/ Idiagbon had been overthrown. For this reason, I am fond of telling people that God brought about a change of government in Nigeria just because of me. COUP PLOTTER Under the Buhari/Idiagbon regime, once you ended up at 15 Awolowo Road, you may never be heard of again. Decree Number 2 of 1984 empowered Tunde Idiagbon to arrest and detain anybody indefinitely without trial and without legal reprieve. After Buhari was overthrown, Mohammadu Gambo opened the prison doors of 15 Awolowo Road on public television, revealing people in various stages of UnCloth and malnutrition that had been kept in the dungeons without trial by Buhari’s hound-dogs. As self-imposed Head of State, Buhari had no regard for human rights. Immediately he seized power, he announced that he would “tamper with” the press. Soon, the infamous Decree Number 4 was promulgated which made even the publication of the truth a punishable offence. Under this cover, Buhari jailed innocent journalists, including Tunde Thompson and Nduka Irabo. He abolished civil liberties, promulgated retroactive decrees enabling him to kill Nigerians through jungle justice, proscribed civil society organizations and professional groups and exercised “absolute” power. This same Buhari would now have us believe that he has gone through some metamorphosis and has become a democrat. I am sure you will forgive me if people like me don’t believe him. Buhari is not, has never been, and will never be, a democrat. Only in Nigeria would a man with his track record, who came to power through a military coup that illegally overthrew a democratic government, now be acclaimed as a democrat. It is on record that Buhari’s military regime is the only one in Nigeria’s history that failed to promulgate a programme for return to civilian rule. FACTS AND FICTIONS So what exactly qualifies Buhari as a democrat today? Precious little! There is nothing democratic about forming and joining political parties just in order to be the presidential candidate. Little wonder then that Buhari’s parties have a short shelf-life. Buhari would like to be Nigeria’s head of state once again. He can no longer achieve this through the barrel of a gun. The only route now open to him is through the democratic process. That is the reason he now conveniently fashions himself as a democrat. It is merely a means to an end; no more, no less. Buhari’s reputation as an anti-corruption crusader is also a myth. As head of state, he did not make any dent in Nigerian corruption. All we got was a cosmetic “war against indiscipline.” The counter- trade scam happened under his watch. Rather than deal with it, he sent his hound-dogs after nonentities like me who dared to expose it. That scam was no different, in scope and scale, from the petroleum subsidy and other corruption scandals that have since plagued Nigeria. The Petroleum Trust Fund (PTF) that Buhari headed under Abacha was also a citadel of corruption. While Buhari himself might not have enriched himself, his cronies and those who worked under him did so handsomely. On three different occasions, Buhari has run for the presidency. On three different occasions he has failed. That should really be enough. If, as seems likely, he were to run for the presidency a fourth time in 2015, there is no question that he would fail yet again. Try as he might again and again, Mohammadu Buhari can never be President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Buhari’s sectarianism There is a fundamental reason behind this. Buhari is a bad politician. He is an unbending former military dictator and not a democratic consensus- builder. Like his new ally, Bola Tinubu, Buhari is a regional, sectional politician. Such politicians are practically impossible to package and market nationally in the ethnically-delicate Nigeria of today. You can read the rest of the piece here. Quite lengthy,but an interesting read. http://pointblanknews.com/pbn/exclusive/evils-buhari-exposed/[url][/url] |
SeverusSnape:'You've never done it before. But you know this for a fact'. Who says stuff like that? How can you make a categorical statement about something you know nothing about? Unless of course,you're just being a typical Nigerian hypocrite. |
Lol..@Dolemite,you're fighting a lone battle here. 3 quarters of the folks arguing with you here know you're telling the truth but would rather choose to live in denial. It's a typical religious defence mechanism. If you tell a lie long enough to yourself,you'll start believing. |
mencade4:Your god must really be proud of you |
. |
She looks good. I'm happy for her |
For the umpteenth time i have stated that surrogacy should be legalised to put these shoddy practices to rest. It is done in other countries & i see no reason why Nigeria cannot come up with a legal framework to enable this method of providing barren women with babies of their own. In a manner of speaking. |
Poor maintenance culture is what is bedeviling the Nigerian infastructure. |
At least premium times can add credibility to their story by putting up the link to the alleged tape. So we can all listen for ourselves & make our own judgement wether his comments were miscontrued or taken out of context |
But of course we all knew that. The other day we outed one popular fraudster here on Nairaland. Joe Agbaje or something like that. Who laid claim to healing all kinds of diseases..ebola,AIDS,cancers of all types...bla..bla..bla. Since then he has never been seen of heard of again |
So Soul E baba from way back when is now a pastor? Hmm orishirishi... |
An2elect2:Lol..typical Christian. Every verse is subject to your own interpretation. Which of course must be the right one.
|
An2elect2:Christianity is not a violent religion indeed. Remind me again how i'm going to need spiritual understanding to understand a verse written in plain English.
|
Islam is not a race & neither is Christianity. Thus, cannot be above scrutiny & criticism. |
Dayum this is gruesome! So sad |
It's exactly the same way it happened in biblical times. All the writers of the bible claim their revelations came from god or were divinely inspired. Some even claim their own version of events were written by god himself.Yet,no two books of the bible correlate. Discrepancies,innacuracies and outright falsehood are the bane of the 'holy book'. But we are told we are of carnal minds thus,cannot understand the book. We need to ginger our swagger spiritually to enable us comprehend it fully. Anyhoo,what do i know
|
This thread sha. No be small tin |
Activity77:It's 'dug up' please. Modify your post |
Superstitions run in the veins of majority of Nigerians. So no surprises here. |
I don't get it. Why is this certificate thing still lingering? Is buhari honestly saying he has no certificate to present in spite of the fact we've been made aware that he attended some prestigious military institutions. So what exactly is the problem here? |
When you take the totally dilapidated state of the trains during the buhari regime and compare it to what obtains today,even though some might still argue it may be nothing compared to what can be found in other climes. But judging from where this administration had to start,that argument becomes invalid. One begins to wonder what exactly do these folks define as change? Not like i really care much for Jonathan though,but buhari is no good either.
|
Indeed,they do need more books
|
datguru:I get the feeling if buhari gets into power,any lady caught spotting such outfit will either be subjected to a 1000 lashes or at worse put to death. |
critique101:Insulted god in what way? Same people who claim god created the genitals would still frown when god and sex are mentioned in the same sentence. Hypocrites! |
tomiobj:It is pronounced grosse..it is spelt gross. Hope this helps |
tomiobj:It's gross please. Take a chill pill
|
It's all a matter of perspective. I see nothing wrong with it,others see it differently. As long as mom & baby are happy that's all that matters |
The whole 'men can't cook' thingy is just another myth that has been debunked several times over. The best chefs in the world are men. 3 quarters of the chefs in 5 star hotels are men. So what gives? Nonetheless,i get the joke. |
..And what purpose is the bible supposed to serve? |
Orunto:Tell your god to halt the activities of boko haram this minute or he can gladly go fùck himself! |
