Question 1: As a democratic convert, did you deem it fit to apologise to all the victims of your military brutality, those who were unlawfully imprisoned and those who were killed at your command?

Am not General Buhari, but here is my take on your question:

- Those who were found not to be complicit to the massive corruption were release after it was investigated. Even in Democracy, Police have the right to detain you during investigations (the law say 48hrs, in practice I have seen people detained up to 3 months - the #EkitiGates Colonel's brother comes to mind).

- Those who were duly tried and jailed for stealing deserves no apology.

Kindly show us where she said those particular tanks, that have always been owned by Nigeria and used in its peace keeping missions for the UN, are new.
Thanks.

First note that this was an event in October, 2014. Then read the quote and link below.

Nigeria's Minister of Finance Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, on Tuesday day said the federal government has acquired new military equipments to confront insurgency in the North-East.

Let us not play the ostrich because of partisan political inclinations. We both know Nigeria's problem is lack of strong , independent institutions, including the judiciary & no Nigerian politician will encourage that so as not to diminish their political influence in power.
Nigeria operates one of the weakest criminal laws in the world (google is your friend) & that is a function of legislation which our legislators (like Farouk Lawan & Herman Hembe) are part of will never pass laws that will conflict with their wealth amassing interest in power & that will bring us to the only possible solution to our multipe problems, RESTRUCTURING & not this so called "change" being chanted meaninglessly.
The implementatuon of the outcome of the just
concluded confab represents Nigeria's only chance of radical departure from our past unto a better tommorow.

@Bold:
As I stated, the only solution is a leadership that will effect the changes we desire. With a leadership that has the political will to do what is needed, the institutions and others can be strengthened.

In this 2015 General Elections, in choosing the next President of Nigeria who will correct our present predicament, the quote below is very important.

"Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." - Albert Einstein

President Jonathan has failed in tackling the Fundamental problems of this Nation, it is time to turn a new leaf. God bless Nigeria.

Buhari is a handsome gentle man. GMB all the way!

That is a good one. With Buhari coming it, more cuts will be done - so that our Capital Expenditure in the Budget can increase for developmental projects.

Sai Buhari.

You conveniently forgot Nigeria was part of UN Peace keeping missions, abi

Does Nigeria getting its own consignment of junks for her participation in UN mission warrants NOI to declare them NEW military hardware?

All the PDP spin doctors, when you are done, you can read the report as well.

Something that happened recently, the OP now wants to re-write history to hide PDP's engineering work in Boko Haram. It will not work. Below is the video too:

My brother na so I see am that day oh, na me snap am! Na this kind junk dem go put our pristine soldiers in!

No way! How can he dare jail the same folks that are paddling his Presidential canoe?

No way.......No way....

Buhari have said this repeatedly, your fate lies with the Court. The job of the Prosecutors is charge you to court and present evidence to back their case against the looter. The rest lies with the court.

I believe under Buhari administration, Lawyers and Legal practitioners will have their own pound of flesh from the politicians

themilanway:
I will go with option C,but i wont advice it should be 50-50......maybe 70-30.......

We need to move forward as soon as possible,alot of repair works needs to be done.

Too much damage has been made by the incumbent govt

@Bold:
That will be a good amendment too.

The live stream of @ThisIsBuhari's @ChathamHouse appearance will be made available at http://www.chathamhouse.org/livestream , 11 am (NGR) today. #GMB15

All these gimmicks of Jonathan will not work. We want Change. Sai Buhari.

luvinhubby:
And how does he intend doing that without legitimate overhaul of our rotten judiciary?

\

Did you not hear when he said he will be working with the National Assembly to provide all the legal inputs needed. I must also point out that our problem in Nigeria has never been legislation BUT the political will to enforce our laws as it should. Currently even case that makes it to the court are not backed with enough evidence to secure convictions. In no time we see criminals walk away because of backyard deals.

In Nigeria, we have only one problem - it is Leadership. The Buhari/Osinbajo ticket avails us that needed solution. In Buhari's administration, PDP as the Opposition Party will be following them bomber-2-bomber in order to keep them on their toes. But re-electing Jonathan is an endorsement to continue the mess we are in.

The choice is ours. I will vote for Change.

nationwide1:
Thanks for being the first person to make efforts at explaining this to me. Many are so beclouded that all opinions in politics section are considered partisan. But how will the general treat the current set of politicians who are corrupt?

Firstly, Buhari has promised not to embark on witch-hunting. Secondly, he stated he will draw a line of intolerance to corruption on May 29th 2015. Old cases of corruption is expected to be prosecuted with renewed vigor. But the primary goal is to ensure that perpetrated rampantly again in Nigeria.

There will be amendment on Nigeria's Penal Code, EFCC and ICPC will get Special designated Courts to trial corrupt cases, there will be State and Federal Police each having their jurisdictions.

How the Fight Against Corruption works will be simple: Whenever you have a case or implicated in one then get a Lawyer and go to Court (APC, PDP, does not make any difference). No more injunctions here and there.

Also there will be the Whistle Blower Act to provide incentives and protection to citizens that exposes hidden cases of corruption (depending on the quality of info and the person involvement).

Nigeria, the best is ahead. Sai Buhari.

PDP now trying all dosage of lies to see which will run them mad the most.

Sai Buhari. No more distractions.

GMB

Jonahan will go down as the worst corrupt President in Africa.

So their Destiny is now to follow a drunkard to the Zoo, instead of being 2nd in command and major stake holder in a Buhari's Presidency?

Being silly should have limitation.

It is Buhari all the way joor!

As Jonathan and his wife look Failure in the face, desperation and panic has set in.

This is too dumb even for Jonathan.

The fat liar is trying to pull a fast on on us. Nigerians will not fall for this cheap lies and deception.

Sai Buhari all the way!

saraki is a useless man, apc should stop this their useless pull him down attitude... Gej we knw you built power plant for, buhari jihadist built nothing, obasanjo the evil one built none... Our saviour we gat ur back... Gej till 2019

Is the Plant generating Output? Yes or No?

Yet he retains them. Do they have something on him or he is just Clueless?

At NOWAS in Enugu, I bought N97 when I asked the attendant gave no explanation.

The N10 change has finished. Jona, Jonah - the Dribbler-In-Chief.

Then Governor Sule Lamido had this to say: "President Jonathan is like a madman with a lighter in a petrol station".

Nigerian Bloggers and their alarming headlines. BTW, up APC.

kingsley939:
i cany bliv u still defend him..smh...Nigeria is finished! ..if he doesnt know the full meaning of the party in which he represents then i doubt he knows anything about Nigeria. Anyway ..Jah help us...am out! gudnyt guys

KC what was your reaction to:
- "Stealing is not corruption" And;
- "How much did Jim Nwobodo STOLE?" (For your info it was $5.5m).

Jonathan is cashing in on everything possible before May 29th. What a shame.
