Same freedom fighter leader's


I trust Nobody now aside Mr president and Prof Yemi Osinbajo

tola268:
Likewise me l trust President Buari alone

Continue deceiving yourselves.

How did Buhari afford school fees in the UK for over 7 children? Fees for just 1 year is over £10,000.

In the other way round,
1. FG should be summoned before its citizens for why they've caused untold hardships faced today in the country.

2. And why the changes so far has been on paper and virtual...

3. And why CBN FX interventions has been futile...

4. And why the $100 limits placed on Naira MasterCard...

5. And why there have not been uninterrupted power supply since the APC government took over...

6. Add yours..

7. And why is inflation at 17.9% basically devaluing the money in people's pockets? N10,000 last year is now worth N8,300 meanwhile prices have gone up at the same time. They've basically impoverished the citizens.

Continue summoning. Don't put in place an environment where businesses can thrive.

Jokers.

Omoluabi16:
maybe the man didn't go on beast mode like abacha, but he did nothing notable in his 11months. How he has become a nationalist/icon we'll never know.

True, I don't think he was "bad" in that sense, but definitely not someone that qualifies to be called a hero or nationalist. Just as you said, what notable thing did he achieve during his time? The way we give our leaders free passes in Nigeria is just amazing.

It's high time people stop making excuses. For how many yesrs do you plan on saying that, 5, 10, 20, 40...?

The problem pf the Nigerian politics is its people. It's withing them that the power of politics lies.

It's my opinion - what I think the issue is. You don't have to agree with it.

Nigerians are extremely backward though. A crime was committed, so normal sense demands that the culprit be brought to book. But Nigerians will rather sit and be using their self-righteous hands to condemn the victim.

So basically some are trying to justify the action of the murderer? No wonder the country keeps getting wicked leaders that make life hard for them, because the people themselves are wicked.

Y'all deserve the hardship you are facing.

Of course, we know Alhaji will not be brought to justice because this is Nigeria. He should not worry, his own death will come calling one day. Murderer.

What a Sorry nation.

Do we know who owns the apartment in Ikoyi?

Serious kalokalo Na wa

Al Mustapha the murderer, this country is such a joke, a man that should be languishing in jail.

Who is the rep?!

All this pomp and pageantry to sign ordinary budget (that is already overdue). There is something truly wrong with this country.

Brooke60:
This is lobatan part 6

May he rest in peace. And may the power grabbers not die since they are super-humans

What a country, smh.

lovelygurl:
To me they are worse. All waiting for a miracle to happen, too lazy/scared or whatever to do sth, don't even know anything about politics. How?
Most of them were born into corruption thinking it's the norm for politicians to steal away their money, while they sit there, cause a division among themselves ( instead of working together), argue about who is the better president (with their tribes being the criteria).

As if they lived what will be considered a normal life under either of those people and when few with brains come out to protest, all they have to say is "And how does this change anything", as if sitting around helps.

OH and of course boobs and ass are more important than being productive.

You don't see that as visionless. You are right it's even worse

For majority of the youths, yes.
But there are people with values achieving great stuff and charting new courses in the private sector, if you put such people in government, they will excel and move this country forward. But guess what, such people never get into positions. The problem with Nigerian politics is the dominance of the wrong people and that is not going to change anytime soon.

lovelygurl:
History is history. Yeah urs important for it to be taught in schools, people are supposed to learn from it but think future. There's no need blaming dead or old people when the youth is worse in every aspect

Lol. I don't think the youth can be as terrible as the visionless people we call leaders today.

This guy should goan sit down somewhere and let us hear word. Mschew. Drama 'queen'

Flashmove:
Please correct me if am wrong, I thought that budget should be signed on January so that it will be used to run the affairs of the year down to December.

What is wrong with Nigeria government? We don't hear these nonetheless noise in other countries about budget signs...

That is what happens in normal functioning societies. Nigeria does not fall into that category unfortunately.

Their zombies will soon be here to praise them for even signing the budget. What a nation.

IamaNigerianGuy:
Babangida not Abacha.
Abacha was an opportunistic goon.
Babangida not Abacha.
Abacha was not second in command after the 1985 coup.
Babngida not Abacha is the source of all our problems in Nigeria since 1985.
Abacha was not possible without Babangida.
Babangida
Babangida
Babangida

Understand ?

Hmm, so you are trying to absolve Abacha completely?

I beg to disagree.

IamaNigerianGuy:
Babangida derailed democracy in Nigeria not Abacha

Babaginda did, but Abacha also continued with it (and made the situation worse) - so I guess they both should rot wherever they are.


Abacha received his formal military training at Nigerian and British military training colleges. He rose through the ranks in the Nigerian military and by 1983 had achieved the rank of brigadier when he assisted Ibrahim Babangida in overthrowing Shehu Shagari, who had been elected to his second presidential term in 1983. Muhammad Buhari became Nigeria’s leader, but just two years later Babangida overthrew Buhari and installed himself as leader with Abacha second in command. Elections were held in 1993 and were won by Moshood Abiola, a candidate supposedly supported by Babangida, who, however, annulled the elections and set up a civilian interim government, which Abacha quickly overthrew.

Although Abacha promised a return to democracy, his actions were anything but democratic. He banned political activity of any kind, fired a large portion of the military, controlled the press, and assembled a personal security force of some 3,000 men. While he supported the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) and its military arm, ECOWAS Monitoring Group (ECOMOG), in sending troops to restore democracy in Liberia and Sierra Leone, he brutally suppressed dissent at home. Abiola and Olusegun Obasanjo, a former military leader of Nigeria (1976–79), were jailed for treason. Wole Soyinka, Nigeria’s Nobel laureate, was also charged with treason, although he had voluntarily left the country. Perhaps Abacha’s most brutal act was the imprisonment, trial, and subsequent execution for treason of writer Ken Saro-Wiwa and other Ogoni activists who were concerned with the environmental exploitation of their region by multinational petroleum companies.

BigIyanga:
Without them, states would not have recovered to those funds.

I know they are being paid for a service but who on earth negotiated 20% for goodness sake in these times?

Likely someone who would benefit from it. That's the only person that would negotiate such a ridiculous rate.

20% for some states..

Who are these consultants exactly?!

Ibrofem:
Chai . Some people don't fear God ooo.... I was supposed to be the first to comment, just by touching the reply icon, I now found myself on the the 14TH... issokay

the struggle is real!

At least you manage reach FP, what if you had ended up on Page 2, lol

And we have a labour union in this country?

Emmanuella1998:
Where is Buhari?

The president has gone AWOL.

Meanwhile, @comments above,
Nigerians in Nigeria are suffering like no tomorrow. These people on this list have made a life for themselves, it is up to you to continue using them as achievement rather than considering the sorry state of the country and how to move it forward. Foolishness of the highest order.

Abacha the evil despot. May he rot wherever he is.

From what I heard, this was one time Nigerians actually came together to support a single candidate and voted en masse, but the power hungry people did not let it become a reality by denying him his mandate.

History needs to be made mandatory right from primary school.

Shut the Bleep up....
This man is a man of prestige and transparency...
Don't be blinded by tribal disconsonance..

I AM A FULL BLOODED IGBO,,AND I SUPPORT THE RESENTLESS EFFORT AND RESTORATION OF BIAFRA
Bt honestly this man declaration speech nailed it...
Its just so disheartening that those people he talked about in his speech are still ruling Nigeria under the guise of civilian regime... They are wolfs in sheep clothing ,,,,

I jst still wonder why all those people that would have transformed Nigeria in a mega nation was sabotage by free moving heartless savages....

Honestly if what this man said in 1993 is still transpiring in our today Nigeria then Nigeria won't grow even come the next 100 years if this stance is still maintained

Nigeria has probably moved backwards compared to 1993 in relative terms. Thanks to the same retrogressive leaders.

Abacha, like all the other military administrators Nigeria has had, was an EVIL man.

Power hungry despots.
