In months to come, a Toyota Camry would be
offered for N50,000 just to feed family.
In 1984, just months after the military takeover by
General Buhari, the
country ground to a halt; just like today! He came
with the same
song-and-dance: THEY ARE CORRUPT!!
In a matter of months, mothers were selling their
jewellery to send their
children to school. Thieves were stealing food at
gun point, just like
today. Within months, there simply was NO FOOD.
The government gathered
the little there was and restricted purchases.
Whether you were 100 or
ONE in your family, every household had a card with
which they went to
military manned cooperatives to purchase rationed,
“essential
commodities”. These included Rice, Beans, Yam,
Bread, Milk, Sugar, and so
on. Everything was rationed. It was war-time in
peace-time!! Nigeria
became like Somalia. We lived like refugees. And of
course, a lot of
children were simply pulled out of schools because
feeding was priority
number ONE! Going to school became a luxury, even
for middle class
families. And ANDREWS & JANES started checking
out. People suddenly
remembered they had British and American
passports, and simply left the
country!
Those who are not aware of all these, ask anyone
who was born on or
before 1974. They should be old enough to
remember. It was that
harrowing.
The most baffling aspect of all this was that, the
people he said were
corrupt and stealing, were presiding over an
economy where the Naira was
1:1 with the US Dollar, and N2 to £1 Sterling! An
economy where we were
buying Volkswagen Beetle at N400 from
Volkswagen of Nigeria. An economy
where my entire family, all 7 of us, travelled for
summer hols on tickets
purchased for N280 and BTA of N400 (official – we
managed to sneak more
out for shopping naaa). An economy where
everything was robust and
vibrant and growing.
Then a man comes in and says he took over
because people were corrupt and
he needed to sanitise things. In a matter of months,
the Dollar was N15
and the Sterling was N40. A VW Beetle sold for
N8,000 (up from N400) and
that N8,000 simply was not available anywhere!
Children dropped out of
school, businesses closed, parents became
destitute, food was NOT
available and we queued for rations at cooperatives
like refugees in a
warring country!!!
Fast forward to 2015!! The same man comes with
the same song-and-dance.
We tried to remind our peers and elders of those
days, and we tried to
educate the younger ones. However, the wind of
change, that wind that
always tells us that the grass is greener on the
other side, deafened
them all!
And once again, within months, everything that
happened in 1984 and 1985
– EVERYTHING – is all being repeated. I have just
come from a home where
my friends have owed 2 terms’ school fees. They
have just made the
difficult decision to leave Abuja, relocate back to
their village and
take the two younger children out of school, at least
temporarily. The
older boy will stay with friends and they will use the
savings on rent
and the likes to try and get him across the line
(WAEC).
Feeding is now a major task. Infact, people are
complaining of their
kitchens and farms being raided for food – DAILY!!
Yet again, this is happening just months after
Buhari takes over with
screams of corruption and stealing. Corruption and
stealing, yet that my
family friend who was not corrupt, not stealing and
not anywhere close to
the corridors of power was paying his rent, feeding
his family and
sending all three children to school. Corruption and
stealing yet
businesses were opening daily, economy was
vibrant, people were healthy,
GDP was growing and so on!
In 1985, we were rescued by IBB and Dogonyaro.
Immediately, people
experienced a reversal. Within a very short time,
the cooperatives
closed, food became abundant again, the Naira
stabilised, mothers stopped
selling their jewellery, and so on. It makes one
wonder!
If there were no reference points, Buharists may
claim that “if only he
had been president”, but the mid-80s proved that
the worst period in
Nigeria’s history were the 20-odd months he was
in power, sandwiched
between two periods of plenty and growth.
Therefore, they cannot bring the argument that
today’s sufferings and
impoverishment were the fault of the past regime –
because we will
counter with “TAKE HIM OUT NOW LIKE IBB DID IN
1985 AND SEE IF BY THIS
CHRISTMAS, YOU WILL NOT BE SMILING AGAIN.
Someone told me today that he predicts that by this
Xmas or next Easter
at the latest, a person will come and offer a Toyota
Camry in exchange
for N50,000, just so that his family can eat and
make merry over the
holidays!!
Nigerians simply don’t refer to history! And I have
run out of every
single drop of sympathy in my body.
SO, LIKE I SAID BEFORE, KEEP STEWING IN YOUR
BROTH. MAYBE NEXT TIME YOU
WILL SHELVE PARTISANSHIP, TRIBALISM,
ETHNICISM, RELIGIOUS BIGOTRY,
HATRED, INTEREST AND ALL THAT

I won't totally blame dem(tho dy had their faults) but Buhari had a history of plunging this nation into recession (1984) u can Google it

imiski:
so true? what about the citizens who are suffering is it becos we are not getting dollars also?

Izonpikin:
hehehehehe...

I laugh..enjoy your properties..leave Ben Bruce for us...Ben Bruce I know would be way bette than dickson..dickson is just a pile of shiiiiit...he is a wicked man...wicked..

Imagine tear gassing old folks who demonstrated for their pension..

Ben Bruce can't do that..

Meanwhile how you dey?..

You still dey soku??...



Comot for their oo..i no wan hear stories that touch..

IVORY2009:
Lackey, the above heading, our oga COAS?

Demdem:

Lackey, which corruption?

IVORY2009:
Demdem, why do u always support corruption?

aventura:
why are you angry? Why the invectives?

The CCB only certified that as a public office holder that he has fulfilled the requirements of asset declaration. Now that is compliance. Leave that aside, that's not the subject of this discussion.

The subject of this discussion is how did he get the money? It's as simple as that. Now his salary throughout his career wouldn't have given him such and as a military officer he is not supposed to have any other job. So how did he get the money.

Waiting for your reply.

Sincere4u:
The problem to me is on how he acquired those assets and not about declaration.
Could a man have saved 3yrs salary to acquire properties worth his entire life time professional salaries?.

Izonpikin:
hehehehe...you haven't told us what you are oo..

OK I know..an ameachi and dakukus boy..

A slave to politicians...

Every business man is indebted...even nations are indebted...reason why I know you're not a serious fellow..you're just a "from hand to mouth" politician azzz follower..

aventura:
this post shows how partisan you are. You are not different for those you consistently oppose.

Izonpikin:
well..Ben Bruce would be better than a 100 dicksons. ..

Well if I remember well other business men are in the same amcon shiiiiit....so what's your problem with Ben Bruce. ...


If only you are one hundredth the man you call a an eediot. ..


You wey useless die....

One thing we have been able to establish over the past weeks between I and u is that neither u or ur entire family line can ever come close to what I am today because u lot are far beneath me. About I and Bruce, it's debatable. He is in huge debt running to billions of Naira and his properties being confiscated left right center, I on the other hand ain't indebted neither has any governmental agency rounded up any of my properties.

Izonpikin:
that man is a fool..

Dickson is an example of a typical village man..

I just hope a Ben Bruce can be the next governor if at all pdp wants to rule that state...

Dickson is both ugly and incompetent and wicked...

U mean the same twitter fool whose cinemas nation wide has been taken over by AMCON? The Obama look alike can't even run a cinema. He squandered the money given to him to run it, u want the eediot to come govern ur state. Goodluck.

Caseless:
"our-oyel" people are always very low, you know.


Once again, congratulations!

Jokerman:
Lolsss... I do not swear ok... we both know dey are thieves...

Ur gimmicks dont work on me...

Demdem:

Inotherwords, u Av no facts, basis or clues whatsoever to back up ur claim. What if I claim that all haters of politicians are all Bastards, like u are currently doing, does that make u one?seriously, u lack sense. Swear and put ur life where ur mouth is. Real men ought not to fear.

Caseless:
I noticed that with izonpikin . Wailers can't handle defeat , you know.

They make me happy today , so I need to see the wailing side of them.

Jokerman:
Bro, I dont need to swear... a friend to thieves and one who condones a thief is already a thief...
Swearing makes no sense.... u ursef knows that anyone entering politics is a thief...

Caseless:
great Edo people.

IVORY2009:
[s][/s]


Demdem, you done come again hope you're not in Edo for the elections? Shoot @ sight order ooo!

Jokerman:
Lolssss.... Wike is also a thief, he isnt pretending like Buhari the thieving scammer .

Buhari is a thief and you know it. .. its just because its ur party u wont concede. ..

Jokerman:
Demdem, I know you well... especially since ur support for the glaring thievery of Amaechi...

Shut ur trap. What Amaechi thievery? The same thievery wike is yet to prosecute since he promised to do so over a year ago. Continue to deceive urself.

Wat is Baba doing about the Jibrin case, the Abba kyari MTN bribe case, Burutai and dambazzua looting and the recently held edo state elections.. nothing. .

Rubbish. When did u and ur pathetic kind start believing sahara reporters that broke Buratatai, yari and dambazzua cases? I thought they shouldn't be trusted? Which Jibrin case? U are highly ignorant? About Edo election, if u av issues, go to court. How is Baba stopping that?

Buhari is no different from other leaders Nigeria had.. dey dont care if it burns or not.....

Says an hater. And like I said, it's very inconsequential in current scheme of things. The General is on course.


I m a Christian and a patriot, I would never join in pilaging our resources. ...


Actually u are nothing but just another hopeless bad looser who is yet to recover from Jonah-daft loss. Ur wailing will surely exceed 2023. That I can assure u.

Jokerman:
Well that true though.. every yam eater will pay for his/her crime sooner or later one day.... no matter how long
Dasuki is an example

However after seeing wat happened in Edo, you guys should never come out to shout anti corruption. .. its d same old story. ...

Jokerman:
Ok then. .. just remember what goes around comes around. ..

Jokerman:
Huh, excellent in corruption fight ke?? or You mean clamping down on opposition? ?

Jokerman:
Okay demdem, u have said it all... so whatever dey do now, I wont be surprised again...
I now believe no government can stop corruption. ..

Jokerman:
Bro, I understand wat you are saying.... Wike did, Akpabio did, Fayose did, Tinubu did etc...

Wat I cannot understand is why APC chose to continue with the trend of PDP even after deceiving us dey want to change things bro...
