THE END Buhari and Idiagbon did not realise that Babangida loyalists had been pre-positioned in key positions, ready for when Babangida needed them. Buhari later spoke of certain elements within his regime who deliberately sanctioned unpopular moves which were disliked by the public so that they could create an atmosphere of political dissatisfaction great enough to justify another coup. In early 1985, a military intelligence officer: Colonel Chris Alli, entered the office of Major-General Idiagbon and voiced his concerns about rumours of a pending coup. In characteristically taciturn manner, Idiagbon simply replied “let them try” (a thinly veiled invitation for any potential for any coup plotter to do his worst). Erroneously believing that Idiagbon had the security situation under control, Alli said no more about the coup rumours. On August 27th 1985 (while Idiagbon was out of the country on a religious visit to Saudi Arabia), Buhari was overthrown in a military coup led by the Chief of Army Staff: Major-General Ibrahim Babangida. On the evening of August 26th Buhari was joined in his official residence by Majors Dangiwa Umar (a Harvard University educated officer born into an aristocratic northern family), Lawan Gwadabe, Abdulmumuni Aminu and Sambo Dasuki. After the five men watched the evening news, the Majors arrested Buhari at gunpoint. Proving the old adage that “what goes around comes around”, a decade later Gwadabe and Dasuki were caught up in an alleged coup plot against General Sani Abacha for which Gwadabe was tortured and imprisoned, and Dasuki driven into exile. If Buhari had taken a look at the past, he would have realised that in Nigerian politics, and in the Nigerian military, it is those to whom one entrusts his safety that need to be feared most. In January 1966, Prime Minister Balewa was abducted and murdered by soldiers from the Federal Guard: a unit whose primary responsibility was to protect and guarantee the safety of Balewa. Balewa’s successor as Head of State Major-General Aguiyi-Ironsi was abducted, tortured and shot dead by soldiers in his own entourage only seven months after the death of Balewa. Aguiyi-Ironsi’s successor General Gowon was overthrown in July 1975, again with the connivance of officers from the Federal Guard – which as in Balewa’s case in 1966, was supposed to protect him. In a stunning act of betrayal, the commanding officer of the Federal Guards Colonel Joe Garba (who was also Gowon’s brother in law) was the officer who in a nationwide broadcast, announced Gowon’s overthrow. As mentioned above, the officers that overthrew President Shagari were pre-positioned around Nigeria’s nerve centre in Lagos. Had Buhari and Idiagbon paid greater attention to those in their midst, their regime may have survived and Nigeria may have been a different country today. Another factor that may have hastened Buhari and Idiagbon’s fall from power may have been their failure to award plum jobs to the officers who risked their necks in the 1983/4 coup that brought them to power. It was an understood but unwritten rule from the July 1975 coup onwards that soldiers that executed successful coup plots should be rewarded with the bounty of juicy Government postings. Buhari did not adhere to this rule. Although the coup plotters that brought him to power were active in his regime, they were not in the upper echelons. Many of these officers were middle grade officers, and perhaps in an attempt to maintain military hierarchy, Buhari did not want to appoint them to senior Government positions over the heads of more senior officers (who albeit had not played a part in the coup). FOR BETTER OR WORSE? Ironically, the same people who prematurely rejoiced at Buhari and Idiagbon’s downfall are the same people who today recall their tenure with nostalgia. If Buhari and Idiagbon had been allowed to stay in office for as long as Babangida did, they would have changed Nigeria forever – for the better. As usual, Nigerians have only themselves to blame for creating the circumstances that led to their downfall. Journalists who thought that better times lay ahead post-Buhari need only recall the murder of Dele Giwa to see how wrong they were. The prisoners who thought that life would be less harsh under Babangida and Abacha should recall the consistent harassment and death of Gani Fawehinmi and Moshood Abiola respectively. People complained about the draconian Decree 2 of 1984 – the State security (Detention of Persons) Decree which permitted the Federal Military Government to detain any person considered by the Chief of Staff, Supreme Headquarters to be a security threat, for up to three months without charge or trial. Civil liberties organisations fumed and breathed a sigh of relief when Babangida took over, expecting Babangida to repeal Decree 2. Babangida not only retained it, but extended the detention period under Decree 2 to six months and used it to detain those civil liberties and pro-democracy movements that had welcomed his assent to power. Those that felt that Buhari and Idiagbon were too “harsh” for imprisoning corrupt public officials, executing convicted drug dealers and armed robbers, should ask themselves whether they are proud of the fact that the average European cannot point out Nigeria’s location on a map, does not know its capital city, but “knows” that Nigeria is a country where corrupt people, drug dealers and other criminals come from. Those that criticised the WAI for attempting to militarise civilian society need to ask themselves whether they prefer the undisciplined, corruption infested society that is Nigeria today. Nigeria missed a golden opportunity to change for the better |
Speak to any Nigerian and you will hear the familiar complaints about Nigeria’s sorry plight. About the waste, mismanagement, corruption and lack of environmental sanitation. Nigerians yearn for a Government that will tackle these problems head on. Nigerians although supporting democracy believe that the institutional checks and balances it imposes would inhibit even a well intentioned government, and would prevent it from pushing through the punishing reforms and hardline policies that are necessary to change Nigeria. As one acquaintance put it to me: “Nigeria missed its chance with the military”. The acquaintance is no apologist for military rule but his point was that Nigeria needs a tough, authoritarian regime to tackle its problems and implement the unpopular but corrective policies that a democratic government cannot afford to take for fear of being voted out of office. Yet while Nigerians complain about the problems all around them, they seem to have collective amnesia and never refer to the fact that almost two generations ago, they had a regime with a programme to tackle all of the problems they always complain about. YET ANOTHER COUP The stage was set for another military rescue operation. On the last day of 1983, the army abandoned the barracks in order to “save this nation from imminent collapse”. President Shehu Shagari was overthrown only three months after being re-elected for his second and final term of office in an election that was marred by accusations of electoral malpractice. Scarred by the memory of the mass bloodshed that followed the bloody military coups of 1966, the coup plotters wisely did not harm any senior Government figures. The only casualty of the coup was Brigadier Ibrahim Bako who was killed while trying to arrest President Shagari in Abuja. Some have speculated that Bako was the leader of the coup. If Shagari had taken a look at Nigeria’s history books, he would have noticed that the country’s military coups have almost always been carried out by the same group of soldiers. The young NCOs and Lieutenants that blasted Major-General Aguiyi-Ironsi from power in 1966, became Colonels that overthrew his successor General Gowon in 1975, and they became the Brigadiers and Major-Generals that overthrew Shagari. Had Shagari acted decisively early during his term and retired these men, his Government may have survived (the only notable senior officer retired by Shagari was Major-General Joe Garba – who had double crossed his own brother in law during a military coup in 1975). Oversight of history and military postings played a part in Shagari’s downfall. Had he, in his position as the Nigerian Armed Forces’ Commander-in-Chief, paid more attention to sensitive military postings he would have noticed that many of the officers who took part in the coup were stationed in or in close proximity to the country’s commercial nerve centre in Lagos. Among the plotters stationed in Lagos were the army’s Director of Staff Duties and Plans: Major-General Ibrahim Babangida, the Military Secretary: Brigadier Tunde Idiagbon, and a hitherto unknown brigade commander called Brigadier Sani Abacha. THE NEW ORDER As usual the Nigerian public welcomed news of a military coup d’etat and the overthrow of a Government they elected, with characteristic jubilation. The officers who led the coup installed Major-General Muhammadu Buhari as Head of State, and as the Chairman of a new Supreme Military Council (SMC). The tables below show the members of the new SMC and the Military Governors appointed by the new regime. JANUARY 1984: SUPREME MILITARY COUNCIL Name Position State of Origin Major-General Muhammadu Buhari Head of State Chairman of the – Supreme Military Council Chairman of the Federal Executive Council Commander in Chief – Nigerian Armed Forces Katsina Brigadier (later Major-General) Tunde Idiagbon Chief of Staff, Supreme Headquarters Kwara State Major-General Domkat Bali Defence Secretary Plateau Major-General Ibrahim Babangida Chief of Army Staff Niger Commodore Augustus Aikhomu Chief of Naval Staff Bendel Air Vice Marshal Ibrahim Mahmud Alfa Chief of Air Staff Adamawa Major-General Mamman Jiya Vatsa Minister of the Federal Capital Territory Niger Brigadier Yohanna Kure GOC, 82 Division – Enugu Kaduna Brigadier Ola Oni General Officer Commanding, 1st Mechanised Infantry Division - Kaduna Lagos Brigadier Sani Abacha General Officer Commanding, 2nd Armoured Division – Ibadan Kano Colonel Salihu Ibrahim GOC, 3rd Mechanised Division – Kaduna Kwara Brigadier Mohammed Magoro Minister of Internal Affairs Sokoto Brigadier Gado Nasko Niger Brigadier Paul Omu Bendel Navy Captain Ebitu Ukiwe Imo Air Commodore Larry Koinyan Rivers JANUARY 1984: MILIARTY GOVERNORS[1] STATE MILITARY GOVERNOR Anambra Navy Captain Allison Madueke Bendel Brigadier Jerry Useni Benue Brigadier John Atom Kpera Borno Major-General W.A.Waziri Cross Rivers Navy Captain Ekpo Archibong Gongola Major-General M.D.Jega Imo Brigadier Ike Nwachukwu Kaduna Air-Commodore U.Muazu Kano Air-Commodore Abdullahi Kwara Group Captain B.Latinwo Lagos Group Captain Gbolahan Mudashiru Niger Lt-Colonel David Mark Ogun Lt-Colonel Donaldson Oladipo Diya Ondo Commodore Michael Otiko Oyo Lt-Col O.Popoola Plateau Navy Captain Samuel Atukun Rivers Police Commissioner Fidelis Oyakhilome Sokoto Brigadier Garba Duba Up till the time of the coup, Buhari had been the General Officer Commanding the 3rd Armoured Division in Jos. The disciplined, tough and stoic Brigadier (later Major-General) Tunde Idiagbon, was appointed as the Chief of Staff at Supreme Headquarters. Having neutralised the incumbent Chief of Army Staff – Lt-General Mohammed Wushishi, Major-General Ibrahim Babangida became the new Chief of Army Staff and de facto number three in the new regime. Wushishi was a symbol of the remarkable reconciliation that had occurred in Nigeria after the civil war of 1967-1970. At the end of the war in early 1970, Wushishi had entertained Conrad Nwawo (a leading officer on the opposing side) as his “guest of honour” at Onitsha barracks. The new military regime suspended several parts of the constitution (primarily those relating to freedom of assembly, association and political activity), banned party politics, declared all borders closed, and began to arrest and detain ministers and officials from Shagari’s Government on charges of corruption and embezzlement. WAR AGAINST INDISCIPLINE Buhari and Idiagbon correctly identified corruption and indiscipline as the main constraints on Nigeria’s development. These twin evils have in the view of many, become a way of life for many Nigerians. For this reason, they launched a nationwide campaign called “War Against Indiscipline” (“WAI”). The WAI campaign was aimed at tackling the most anti-social Nigerian characteristics such as indiscipline, corruption, and lack of environmental sanitation. Nigerians learned and grudgingly accepted social behaviour that was the norm in other countries around the world. Queuing suddenly became all the rage in Nigeria! Buhari and Idiagbon understood that the undisciplined Nigerian psyche was not going to change by persuasion and that their WAI campaign had to backed by the threat of force. Although they had always cried out for a Government that would root out the rampant indiscipline in Nigeria, white collar workers were irked when they learned that the WAI campaign would lead to them being punished and that it would apply to them as well as the rest of “ordinary” Nigerians. Corruption There had been widespread allegations of corruption against many members of Shagari’s government. For this reason, military tribunals were set up to try ministers in Shagari’s administration that had been accused of embezzling public funds. These tribunals were chaired by military officers and had the power to impose massive prison sentences. The only right of appeal from the tribunals was to the SMC which was also exclusively comprised of military officers (and the Inspector-General of police). The military were effectively acting as prosecutor, judge and jury. Unsurprisingly the Nigerian Bar Association barred its member lawyers from participating in the tribunals. Undeterred, Buhari and Idiagbon pressed on with the tribunals and several prominent politicians were convicted of various corruption charges and given massive prison sentences ranging from twenty to over two hundred years. Given that most of the convicted were already over fifty years old, it was obvious that they would die in prison if they served the rest of their sentences. Among those convicted were prominent politicians such as Anthony Enahoro and Jim Nwobodo. The tribunals effectively put Nigeria’s political elite in jail. Although the harsh sentences and nature of the tribunals were criticised, it is arguable that Nigeria needed these Nuremberg style trials in order to free itself from its corrupt past. The era of Buhari and Idiagbon was the first, and only time that Nigerian public officials were tried, and held accountable for their actions in office. The trials would have had more legitimacy if they had been held in civilian courts, presided over by civilian legal officers, and open to the public. This way Nigerians would have seen justice in action and had a chance to scrutinise the actions of their leaders who had so badly let them down and misused their resources. By virtue of their centrally regimented military training and outlook, Idiagbon and Buhari were fundamentally unable to grasp the niceties of, and the political legitimacy they could have derived from holding fair and open trials. The public fully backed their assault on the corrupt elite, if not their methods. The trials and WAI campaign also had a psychological impact on other “don’t know how he got rich” individuals in Nigeria. For the first time in Nigeria’s history it became unwise for those with ill gotten to flaunt their wealth – for fear of attracting the attention of Buhari’s anti-corruption drive. The Press The press had a field day under the civilian Government of Shagari. Freed by the absence of criticism-sensitive soldiers in Government, the press launched constant vitriolic attacks against public officials and often published articles that would not be tolerated in even the most liberal western democracy. The press quite literally abused the freedom given to it and the stinging criticism directed by the press actually resulted in some journalists being charged with sedition (inciting rebellion against the Government). As a reaction to this, on 1st January 1984 (day one of Buhari’s regime), the SMC promulgated Decree 4 of 1984: the Public Officers (Protection Against False Accusation) Decree. Decree 4 made it a criminal offence to publish any article that brought the Government or any public official into disrepute. Tunde Thompson and Nduka Iraboh of The Guardian Newspapers were unfortunate enough to fall foul of Decree 4 and were imprisoned. Decree 4 was no doubt an overreaction by Buhari’s regime and strained relations between the FMG and the press. THE BEGINNING OF THE END While Buhari’s austere policies could be justified on the basis that he was battling against corruption and economic waste, his public relations machinery was poor. He made a number of strategic errors and failed to ingratiate himself with the mainly southern based print media. His regime was savaged by the press as a result (many of Nigeria’s print houses were then owned by the multi-billionaire businessman/politician: the late Moshood Abiola). Loss of the South There are several reasons for the Buhari’s loss of support in the south. Firstly, the governing National Party of Nigeria which Buhari replaced had a “zoning” system for key Government posts which provided that certain Government positions would be “zoned” or reserved to persons from certain geographic parts of the country. Since the presidency had been zoned to President Shagari (from the North), south-westerners logically thought that the presidency would be zoned to them when president Shagari completed his second and final term of office in 1987. They were wrong. One of those who hoped to benefit from the NPN’s zoning system was the multi-billionaire businessman, Moshood Abiola. Abiola assumed that when President Shagari’s term of office expired in 1987, the governing National Party of Nigeria (NPN) would “zone” the presidency to the south, and he would be allowed to run for president. How wrong he was. When Abiola articulated his presidential ambition, he was rebuffed by the powerful Transport Minister: Umaru Dikko, who told him that “the Presidency is not for sale to the highest bidder”. Abiola “retired” from politics soon after – totally exasperated with the NPN. Abiola was however to remerge from the shadows to play a key role in Nigeria’s political history. The make up of Buhari’s SMC also troubled southerners. Virtually all of the senior positions in the SMC were occupied by northern Muslims: only five of the SMC’s sixteen members were from the south. Additionally, there has always been an unwritten rule that the Nigerian Head of State and his deputy cannot be from the same religion or part of the country. Buhari broke this unwritten rule when he appointed Tunde Idiagbon (who although Yoruba, was from the north and was also a Muslim). The other influential pro-Buhari figure in the regime was the Minister for Internal Affairs: Major-General Mohammed Magoro, who was a Muslim from Buhari’s home state of Sokoto. The lopsided ethno-religious composition of the SMC, coupled with the fact that Buhari’s ascension to power pre-empted the zoning of the presidency to the south prompted some mischievous southerners to claim that the New Year’s Eve coup was a deliberate plan to prevent the south from gaining political control of the country, and was nothing more than an orchestrated preservation of the north’s political control of Nigeria by transferring power from northern civilians to northern soldiers. The author personally believes that the personal ambition of the primary actors in the coup such as Babangida and Dogonyaro played the major motivating role for the coup rather than any Machiavellian plot to thwart the south (or any altruistic motives to benefit Nigeria as a whole). Nevertheless, southerners were irked by the perceived northern bias of Buhari’s regime. The Babangida Factor With the civilian population powerless to terminate military rule, it was clear that only the military could do away with Buhari. From this perspective, the Chief of Army Staff, Major-General Ibrahim Babangida was his greatest threat. Babangida was a contrast to Buhari. While Buhari was stern, serious and resolute, Babangida was deft, tactical and extremely devious. He had systematically cultivated a loyal following of sycophantic mid-ranking officers over the years by making grandiose gestures and buying lavish presents for officers junior to him. These officers now owed allegiance to him rather than to their nation, institution, or to the Head of State Buhari. Babangida had managed to create a mini-personality cult within the military. It is amazing that Buhari, knowing Babangida’s ambition and propensity for coup plotting allowed him to sit with his finger on the trigger as the Chief of Army Staff for so long. As the net of Buhari’s anti-corruption drive widened, the trail of investigations led back to the Ministry of Defence. There were allegations that senior army officers were involved in drug dealing and rumours of some suspicious financial dealings at the Defence Ministry. Some accusatory fingers were pointed at Babangida. Nigerians never did get to find out the extent or nature of the allegations as a coup led by Babangida swept Buhari away before matters could proceed further. Not long after Buhari was replaced by Babangida, a senior and well respected journalist (Dele Giwa) was killed by a parcel bomb while he was working on a story that accused senior army officers of involvement in drug dealing. Giwa’s murderers have never been found, although attempts have been made to prosecute Babangida, and two military intelligence officers: Colonel Tunde Togun and Brigadier Halilu Akilu, for his murder. |

ABSOLUTELY NO. * How did you try to mock and tarnish Obasanjo? You didn't only remove all his loyalist from your government, you also made sure you made his enemies your closest allies. You don't need me to start calling names right? * Who is Jonathan's BIGGEEST Northern Ally? Alli Modu Sherrif. The CHIEF SPONSOR OF BOKO HARAM. AWAY FROM POLITICS. * You promised Nigerians incentives in order to remove subsidy. Things like stable power, metro buses (in Lagos and Abuja), full road rehabilitation etc. MR LIAR WHERE ARE THEY. * Obasanjo's government brought GSM amongst other things, Yaradua's short time in government brought RULE OF LAW.

NOTHING EXCEPT INCREASE IN CORRUPTION. * Never in the history of Nigeria has all institutions witnessed as much strike as yours. *Jonathan WHERE ARE THE CHIBOK GIRLS. * Jonathan what in Heaven's name do you need FIVE presidential jet for even with the high rate of poverty in the land. * Ebele, the ONLY Nigerian president that tried all means to DIVIDE Nigeria along Religion and Ethnic line. * The ONLY AFRICAN PRESIDENT THAT OPENLY CELEBRATES CRIMINALS AND EX CONVICTS. Kashamu, Alameisia (or whatever), Bode George. * Jonathan will rather gallivant with Nollywood stars than have a session with those brains who are truly making Nigerians proud both Home and Abroad. Or better Still, compose a comforting message to the people of North East. Nigeria as at today HAS NO GOVERNMENT. We provide our water - borehole. We provide our light - generator/ inverter We provide our security - high fence/ cctv We provide our education - private school. We produce fuel yet pay the most in the world. We have no motorable federal road. A BIG SHAME NIGERIA HAS NO NATIONAL CARRIER. HIGH Uneployment in the land. High rate of Corruption (the CLOWN wants to curb corruption with technology). JONATHAN YOU ARE A FAILURE!!! Even if WE give you 10 terms ( 40 YEARS). YOU WILL STILL NOT TAKE US TO THE PROMISE LAND. |

Under Gen. Buhari between 1984 and 1985, many Hausa Governors were jailed; a notorious Hausa Muslim politician and the most powerful minister under Shehu Shagari, a northerner, and Shagari's In law Umaru Dikko, was put in a crate. And he placed his family friend and kins man (Lt. Gen. Yar' Adua) under severe House Arrest. Not only that, during this same period, more Yoruba politicians were put in jail; more Yoruba journalists hounded and jailed; the Yoruba elite were not spared. But apart from the governors of old Anambra and IMO States, and a few other Igbo politicians (not the elite), only the then Vice President Dr Alex Ekwueme was jailed. Yet today, a party created by Northerners, some Ndi Igbo and Ijaw people, but dominated by Yoruba politicians chose this same man, Gen. Buhari to fly their flag because they are determined to put the past behind them in a bid to move Nigeria forward. All over the social media, there are extreme charges against General Buhari for what is perceived to be his hatred against Christians, yet just few people know that this tall, serious and allegedly "a wicked" General, allowed a Christian to be his in law. Are The Igbo people living in the past? 1) Why do we keep holding it against Gen. Buhari that he jailed Dr Alex Ekwueme- what is our share from what Dr Ekwueme made as a Vice President? 2) when PDP tossed Dr Alex Ekwueme aside and elected Chief Obasanjo, why did Ndi Igbo not leave PDP since we love Dr Ekwueme so much? As Christians, why can't we extend the love of Christ towards What we perceive to be Gen. Buhari's anti- Christian policies? And outside religion, should we not express love of country above love of tribe and religion and answer the question: Is General Buhari better positioned to solve Nigeria's many problems than President Jonathan and then vote accordingly |
Before Buhari came into power, Nigeria was a beggarly and debtor nation…. Corruption was at its zenith. Every nitwit that found himself at the corridors of power became somebody having his bank account to show for it. Those who were penniless before October 1979 suddenly became enriched and they did not let you make the mistake of disregarding them. They had become the shakers and the movers, those whose presence you ignored at great peril. They used and abused power with reckless abandon. So when the coup happened in December 1983, it came to most people as a tremendous relief (Newswatch, February 25, 1985). The successful coups that came after Buhari’s were anti everything that Buhari stood and still stands for. They were executed by present day PDP honchos and all their criminal acts are consistent with the criminal acts of today’s PDP cabals. Let us go down a bit into memory lane. BUHARI AND THE NIGERIAN ECONOMY BUHARI made it clear to all that IMF was never up for consideration and therefore not even an option. He inherited huge debt from Shehu Shagari and so tried out the IMF route but to his shock they wanted to bring Nigeria to her knees. IMF laid down rules upon rules coupled with the huge debt the government would acquire afterwards. Some of them are as follows, The government must remove its subsidy on petroleum (which currently GEJ would gladly implement). Nigeria must curtail its expenditure. The Nigerian Government must rationalize its tariff structures. It must put a freeze on its wages. It must put a total end of non-statutory transfers to State governments. The Federal Government must at least institute a 30% raise on interest rates—Buhari’s administration resisted this because the decline in its revenue earnings and its debt obligations made it almost impossible to raise interest rates without triggering inflation. AND THE BIG ONE: The IMF demanded a minimum of 60% devaluation of the Almighty Naira then. Buhari refused. The implication of devaluation was that Nigeria would pay more to import lesser quantity of goods than it did prior to any devaluation. It would also export the same amount of oil it exported before any devaluation and derive lesser revenue than it received before any devaluation. The impact of these debt payments would have harsher effect on the citizenry if the naira was devalued. This however did not make any economic sense to Buhari; he saw it as an insult on the intelligence of the African. We must say Buhari is an intelligent man. If he isn’t intelligent then he obviously had intelligent people working for him. Buhari administration entered into a $2 billion barter trade agreement with four countries. Nigeria daily bartered 200,000 barrels of oil as follows: Completely knocked down parts for automobiles from Brazil. Construction equipment from Italy Engineering equipment from France, and Capital goods from Austria. This barter trade took care of the administration’s need to have borrowed money but it intensified the ill will the US and Britain had for Nigeria. By bartering this oil, Nigeria was: Solving those needs which the proposed IMF loan was geared toward. Able to cut off Britain who at the time was the major supplier of the goods which the countries in the barter agreement sent to Nigeria. Able to deny the US usurious money lenders the chance to suck Nigeria dry through the IMF loan. Able to cut off the profit made by the American and British oil companies who were irritated that the oil being bartered would flood the oil market thereby cutting in on their profits. Able to put to check the oil being battered which were illegally bunkered by putting oil bunkering artist out of business. For once, an African country had put positive economic mechanism in place to salvage its ailing economy without swallowing IMF’s poison pills. It is worth noting that this was the major reason for which the Britain and America wanted the Buhari administration overthrown. The counter trade showcased Buhari as a visionary. He made America and Britain feel stupid and they swore to get him out of office. When Babangida took over, on his maiden speech to the nation he promised to revisit the counter trade agreements. Within two weeks in office, September 17 1985 precisely, he setup a panel to review it and recommend to his administration how to revive the economy without the use of counter trade. Babangida rolled back counter trade at the command of his imperialist masters (Britain) and at the detriment of the Nigerian nation and people. So you see? Those who thought that Buhari is wicked should think twice. Amongst a very short list, He is one politician that is not corrupt and seems to be what Nigeria needs. BUHARI AND THE JOUNALISTS It is really awkward then but the truth remained that despite the fact that all Buhari was doing was good, his political opponents used the media to tarnish his image and efforts. The journalists interpreted arrant nonsense and said all manner of rubbish about his image. Only the wise would truly understand what he was doing then. Fast forward to the present: Take a look at the people he is working with currently in this 2015 elections, they existed back then and they know very well what the man in question stands for. He is a no nonsense man. As a journalist then, if you talk or write too much you will definitely have a good time in jail. The Guardian newspaper would gladly tell you that most of their journalists were “having a good time in jail”. BUHARI: THE FREEDOM AND DEPRIVATION OF FUNDAMENTAL HUMAN RIGHT The Chief of staff Idiagbon had the power to detain anyone without charges if you are seen as a security threat for up to three months. This decree that gave him such power has been in place since the time of Aguiyi Ironsi. Buhari only maximised the law. If Jonathan were to be wise he would have used this same decree to cut down the excesses and corruption in his administration. Although this affected journalist badly but we all know it really kept the country safe. Fast forward to the present, terrorists are everywhere. The likes of Gen. Azubike and Gen. Azazi would have been jailed, former Governor of Borno state, Ali Modu Sherrif would have been rotting in jail by now and all this Boko Haram trash would have ended a long time ago. BUHARI: Nigeria medical association (NMA), Nigerian association of resident doctors (NARD) AND INDUSTRIAL ACTIONS. Buhari banned organisation that would lead to strike. He had his eyes especially on Nigeria Medical Association. What do you expect he was operating autocracy, so don’t blame him. If it were you, what would you have done? Jonathan’s administration has recorded the highest number of industrial actions (strike) since inception of this country. Buhari birthed the NSO, National Security Organisation, which was a secret police service. This in particular was the peak of it, to the extent that by October 1984 about 200,000 civil servants was retrenched. BUHARI: CORRUPT GOVERNORS PLUS MINISTERS. Buhari rounded up all corrupt governors and ministers under Shagari’s government and JAILED ALL WITHOUT TRIAL. This of course affected even the innocent who found their names connected to corruption. The fun part was that president Shagari himself and his vice Ekwueme Alex were even slammed with corruption charges. BUHARI AND “GHANA MUST GO” Nigeria became so wealthy and enviable that it became the ‘economic Mecca of West Africa’. Today it could be likened to the USA. The same thing Obama is now trying to do was exactly what Buhari did as regards immigrants. But Buhari was brutal; of course he was running an autocratic government so he had to boycott the “due process”. He simply made a decree on the 15th of April 1985 saying that all foreigners especially from West Africa and Ghana should find their way home before 10th MAY. 700,000 foreigners left Nigeria. This made employment even for the aged, available. But what do we see today? Nigeria has the highest unemployment rate in West Africa. And yet some are asking Boko Haram to stop. Don’t you know that if these young boys were employed and comfortable this menace called Boko Haram would stop? Listen to what OBJ said Today when you go to Ghana to buy the bag tagged “Ghana must go” they will correct you and say that it is” Nigeria must go”. Yet some are clamouring for Jonathan’s re-election. Please note that it was during president Shagari’s time that the decree made for the Ghanaians to go was implemented. BUHARI AND THE “DRUG SENTENCE FOR DRUG PUSHERS”. Quite brutal, but yes it was necessary. Today we have Malaysia, china and other countries executing drug traffickers. He did this using decree 20. Though this decree was used retrospectively but yet it served its purpose. Young men and women had to shun the risky but fast means of getting rich quickly. I know he went too extreme but that was exactly what needed to be done. BUHARI AND WAI (War against Indiscipline) WAI was first launched in Kano by Late Major General Idiagbon. It was really nice to see an organised Nigeria back then. It was like yesterday in my head. Igbo’s till date call it –Wepu Ajo Ihe. There was law and order during his reign. You can’t talk anyhow to authorities above you, you can’t litter the environment, and you don’t wear anything you like in the name of fashion. Robbery and pilfering was curtailed. You queue up properly to avoid being whipped by police men. Sanity was restored and people behaved and lived like actual human beings. But today the reverse is the case. Nobody would deny that Nigeria is out of order. If it were during his time those MONKEY REPS. that jumped the house of assembly gate wouldn’t attempt such disgraceful act when the IGP closed it. Buhari was well known to be highly disciplined and urged people to do same. The entropy level in Nigeria is so much now that sometimes we ask if actually democracy has made all Nigerians gone mad! Police beat up innocent citizens mercilessly and soldiers beat up police men, and now we many of us Nigerians are almost beginning to think that being beaten up by uniformed men is a normal thing. Indiscipline was and still is the major obstacle to the economic, social, and political development in this country. BUHARI saw it and attacked it head on, but he was truncated by IBB and the wicked west who wanted to pocket Nigeria at all cost. WAI was launched in five phases namely: Queue culture – If you think being patient was for the weak, try ignorant and impatienct… the whip would be your companion. Works ethics- try going late and see if you would still be able to afford your rent after all savings are gone. Nationalism and patriotism Corruption and economic sabotage Environmental sanitation – Hahahaha, T.A Orji is king of dirt. Buhari would have rid him off that office or better still whipped him severely. BUHARI AND RELIGIOUS FANATICS. Today we have fanatics in the resemblance of Boko Haram. During his time such thing almost came bearing Maitatsine sect which was lead by Musa Makaniki who unleashed terror and horror where about 1,000 lives were lost in Adamawa. Buhari was swift to act and sent troops to crush the stupid sect. But what do we have today? We are pleading to Jonathan to please #BringBackOurGirls. Secondly, Buhari was once quoted to have said “muslims should vote muslims” during one of his campaigns then in 1999. Though in that statement he was only trying to encourage fair votes between muslims brothers, it came out really WRONG!. NIGERIANS HEART FELT PLEA TO BUHARI The peoples’ general (BUHARI); we want to bring to your notice that many people think you to be weak, purposeless and without precision and vision. The citation to support the above reads thus: If Buhari’s recent actions, utterances, and gestures are a guide, then it is fairly safe to conclude that the Buhari of 1985 is dead to Nigeria. Nigeria, by the way, seems to have returned the favour.When Buhari speaks now, he sounds withdrawn, disinterested, and aloof. I recently participated in a telephone interview with the General. I was struck by how passion-less he sounded throughout the interview. And it wasn’t because we didn’t probe. We asked tough questions but also softball ones that should have enabled him to impress us with his diagnosis of Nigeria’s ills and his vision for curing them. Instead of punchy, substantive responses to our questions, we got platitudinous, banal, over-scripted political generalities. Buhari’s political speech has become stale and bland, lacking the fierce urgency, to paraphrase Barack Obama via MLK, of Nigeria’s rescue mission. Buhari’s other recent interviews betray the same frustratingly noncommittal attitude and a seeming reluctance to make bold, promissory pronouncements about his intentions. He now speaks like a typical Nigerian politician; the same unimaginative vocabulary; the same vacuous rhetoric; the same lack of specifics; the same general, predictable promises about rooting out corruption, making government work, and improving security. The “how” of all this has been missing from the political gestures and pronouncements of today’s Buhari. POINTS TO NOTE Mai Gaskiya (Man of Integrity) we need you back. We need the Buhari of 1985, an insatiable patriotic, passionate, and courageous revolutionist. Know also that Nigerians need you to spell out what your hopes, dreams, and visions are for them. Please don’t make the mistake of leaching off Jonathan’s misgovernance or using it as a platform to win the upcoming elections. Even when you win the elections bear in mind that you are now in democracy ,so we don’t expect you to run autocracy because it is one of the major reasons Nigerians are scared of voting you again Finally desist from making incriminating and inciting statements. Like the one you said during in 2012-“God willing, by 2015, something will happen. They either conduct a free and fair election or they go a very disgraceful way. If what happened in 2011 (alleged rigging) should again happen in 2015, by the grace of God, the dog and the baboon would all be soaked in blood.’’ [AS REGARDS THIS POST, YOUR OPINON IS OF UTMOST IMPORTANCE AND HIGLY WELCOMED] |

NUMBER TWO: GENEVIEVE NNAJI Genny, Recently Acquired a N200 Million Mansion, Many feel something is still lacking in Genny’s seemingly perfect life of fame, money and beauty – a man, who would capture her heart forever. Even though she is not known to be a sucker for love, Genevieve has been severally linked with some men both in Nollywood and Hollywood. The height of it was when she was reported to be involved with Atiku Abubakar during Olusegun Obasanjo’s tenure. Genny never came out to refute the rumours and neither did she state it was true. Perhaps, the one that resounded for long was her acclaimed romance with Koko master, D’Banj. She also maintained sealed lips about it too. She is beautiful, intelligent, classy and rich too. So, what’s keeping this 34-year-old mother of one from finding Mr. Right? No one knows. Nigerians hope Real soon.

NUMBER FOUR: SUSAN PETERS Early This Year In An Interview She Claimed The wedding Bells where close By But the year is Gradually coming to an end and we still dont see the wedding day getting any Closer… Some years back Susan Peters adopted a child and that singular act sent tongues wagging. Susan is a multiple award-winning actress and also a star of Nigerian TV. Her remarkable talent has paved a way for her in Nollywood and her dedication is equally infectious. She started acting in Nollywood movies in 2002 and despite increasing pressure for Nollywood actresses to perform raunchy love scenes and appear with little or no clothing, Susan has not followed suit. Susan confessed sometime of developing a fantasy on handsome fellow Nollywood star, Ramsey Nouah, but nothing has been heard about her love life. Nigerians just pray luck smiles on her in 2014 so that the child she adopted can have the love of both parents.

Halima Abubakar took Nollywood by storm years back and there has been no stopping this never-say-die actress. Her rise to stardom wasn’t a bed of roses, given the tough times she experienced growing up. Her persistence paid off in the end and today, she is one of Nollywood’s darlings. Around june she posted a Photo of a wedding gown this instantly raised Eye Brows As people started Speculating That she was Getting Married.. Reports have it that she is jealous of her Best Friend Annie who Recently got married to 2face. Although she has been in the centre of some scandals, Halima doesn’t bother herself any more about bad press. Her only concern is to keep forging ahead. On relationship matters, Halima believes in love but has restrained herself from making a lasting commitment to one man because some married people are running out of marriage.

To make wealth is an achievement; the way it is spent is style. In most cases, successful individuals who have created wealth through wise and diligent investments in business hardly squander their money. They usually prefer to reinvest their capital, including the accrued profit over the years, into their businesses to increase their asset base and level of affluence. The tendency, therefore, is that the richer they are, the more their business interests expand. In line with this corporate tradition, the rich investors get richer and, when they spend, they do so in a big way worthy of mention. This is because of the extensive attention attracted by their rare wherewithal and will to spend, including doling out money on humanitarian grounds. Among Nigeria’s privileged people are: Aliko Dangote Nigerian business tycoon Aliko Dangote is the richest man in Africa. He is the founder, Dangote Group, West Africa’s largest publicly listed conglomerate with diverse business interests such as sugar refining, flour milling, textiles, real estate and salt processing. Dangote Cement, Dangote Foods (noodles) and Dansa Juice complete the chain. His total net worth is about $16.1 as at March 2013. Dangote spends money in philanthropic activities. He has stepped up his philanthropy in recent years, giving over $100 million to causes ranging from education and health through flood relief, poverty alleviation to the arts. He acquired a private jet in April 2010 as a personal gift on the occasion of his 53rd birthday. The Bombardier Global Jet Express XRS (one out of a few) was estimated to cost $45 million. Dangote is also said to have purchased a private luxury yatch at the cost of $43 million made exclusively for his enjoyment. The yatch is named Mariya after his mother. Mike Adenuga Otunba Mike Adenuga built his fortune in business from banking, mobile telecom service and oil. He founded Globacom, now Nigeria’s second largest mobile phone network, in 2006. Globacom has more than 24 million subscribers in Nigeria, and also operates in the Republic of Benin. Adenuga made his first fortune at the young age of 26 in the 1970s by distributing lace and other materials. He later had another opportunity to expand his fortune during the military regime of Ibrahim Babangida when he was awarded a contract for the construction of military barracks in some military installations in the country. He is presently worth $4.7 billion, thus justifying him as one of Nigeria’s super-rich businessmen. Adenuga is a philanthropist who spends a lot of money on selfless activities aimed at bringing succour and assistance to less-privileged people. Adenuga also takes his philanthropic goodwill to the area of sports development in Nigeria and Africa through his selfless investments in sports. His demonstration of philanthropic largesse cuts across sponsorship of Nigerian Professional Football League (NPFL) and the Super Eagles. This was one of the points highlighted by President Goodluck Jonathan at his (Adenuga’s) 60th birthday. “You are celebrating 60 years of a remarkable life filled with monumental achievements in high entrepreneurship, philanthropy and dedicated service to God and country,” the president said. Similarly, the president of the Confederation of African Football (CAF), Mr Issah Hayatou, used the occasion of Adenuga’s birthday celebration to appreciate his contributions to the society. He recognised that Adenuga had not only affected Africa positively through his accomplishments in business but has also been the pillar of sports on the continent. Adenuga loves spending money on what gives him joy. It could be said that, partly for this reason, he acquired a private Bombardier Global Express jet, fitted with the latest flight facilities. It is one of the most luxuriously built private jets in the world, just like that of Dangote. Jim Ovia Jim Ovia started building his fortunes when he founded Zenith Bank Group in 1990. The bank has grown to become West Africa’s second largest financial service provider by market capitalisation and asset base. His sources of wealth are banking, telecommunication and real estate investment. He also owns Quantum Luxury Properties Limited, a private equity fund with special focus on Africa. Ovia’s total net worth is about $825 million. He has embarked on the establishment of a free, co-educational high school, James Hope College, in Delta State, the place where he pondered his future as a young man. The school, an 18-month project, launches in September with an initial capacity for 420 students. He is also the founder of Mankind United To Support Total Education (MUSTE), an organisation providing scholarships for the underprivileged. Abdussamad Rabiu Lagos-based business tycoon Abdulsamad Rabiu is a son of Khalifa Isiyaku Rabiu, one of Nigeria’s most successful businessmen in the 1970s. Little wonder therefore that he followed in his father’s footsteps in business with interest in importing basic commodities such as rice, sugar and cement in the 1980s. Abdussamad heads the BUA Group, a conglomerate with $1.9 billion in revenues and interests in sugar refining, vegetable oil processing and flour mills. The BUA Group also operates the BUA Cement, Nigeria’s first floating cement terminal, as well as Nigerian Oil Mill which processes edible oil. According to Forbes magazine report, he is the 21st richest African and is worth $675 million. Folorunsho Alakija Billionaire oil tycoon, fashion designer and philanthropist, Mrs Folorunsho Alakija is worth at least $3.3 billion against a recent Forbes’ rating which quoted her net worth as $600 million. She began her professional career in the 1970s as secretary of defunct International Merchant Bank of Nigeria, one of the country’s earliest investment banks. In the early 1980s when banking was seen as one of the most lucrative jobs, she took a bold step towards realisation of her personal dreams by quitting her job in the bank to study Fashion Design in England. She returned to Nigeria a few years later to establish Supreme Stitches, a high-profile fashion firm which provides special services to exclusive clientele. She also founded Rose of Sharon Foundation, a charity organisation. This fashion design business led her into fortune. She was in a position to make and sell high-level clothing to the fashionable wives of some military big shots and other society women. In May 1993, Mrs Alakija set out for oil business. It was then she applied for an allocation of oil prospecting licence (OPL) to explore 617,000-acre block granted to her company, Famfa Oil Limited. However, at that time, she had no experience in oil exploration — she was just a new entrant in the business. Also, Mrs Alakija is widely reported to own a private jet, Bombardier Global Express 6000 which cost about $46 million, added to acquisition of a property at Hyde Park. This is one of the ways she spends her wealth, which gives her happiness. Furthermore, she is a philanthropist who derives joy in giving assistance to widows and other less-privileged in society. Tony Elumelu Mr Tony Elumelu (CON) was born in Jos on March 22, 1963. He is a renowned economist, banker, investor and generous philanthropist. Elumelu is a recognised African leader in corporate business. After leading United Bank for Africa (UBA) Plc to a higher level with the acquisition of Standard Trust Bank (STB) during the consolidation of the banking industry in 2005, he retired from the management of UBA in July 2010. On establishment of the Tony Elumelu Foundation, he stated the foundation’s objective as to “prove that the African private sector can itself be primary generator of economic development”. Among the roles of the foundation are deployment of resources to generate reliable solutions to the business constraints that derail and clog the growth of business in the private sector in Africa. Moreover, Elumelu ploughs a lot of resources in philanthropic activities. Apart from the Tony Elumelu Foundation, he was also a member of the World Economic Forum’s Regional Agenda Council on Africa. He is also part of the Bretton Woods Committee which brings leaders in the global banking industry together. Voluntary development of human capital is one of the cherished interests where Elumelu spends his wealth. He also partners with the Tony Blair Africa Governance Initiative (AGI) with high focus on strengthening the role of the private sector in economic transformation policies of some African countries. This partnership is named Blair-Elumelu Fellowship Programme. Elumelu, the originator of the concept of Africapitalism as an economic philosophy that reflects the commitment of players in the private sector towards the economic transformation of Africa through long-term investment, is a consummate patriot with a full-blown obsession for how he can make his country and continent a better part of the world. Interest in paying family hospital bills, unpaid school fees, providing for families who cannot provide their needs — all form part of what Elumelu does through his catalytic philanthropic method of assisting human beings within the shores of Nigeria and Africa. Hajiya Bola Shagaya Hajiya Bola Shagaya is hailed as one of Nigeria’s richest businesswomen. She is the CEO of Bolmus International Limited. She has interests in several sectors ranging from oil and gas, banking, cash crops export, real estate, fast-moving consumer goods and photography. She has been a very influential figure in Nigeria’s corridors of power for decades and has excelled in a society where the role of women has been restricted traditionally. Her rise to affluence and power is not attributed to parental or marital influence. This woman of means has skilfully built her network and wealth from a humble background, and has proven herself as an outstanding power broker with impressive entrepreneurial skills. In the manner of an astute entrepreneur, she saw opportunities in the populous image-conscious Nigerian market, prompting the expansion of her Konica marketing operations to photo laboratory services; that was the birth of another of her companies – Fotofair (Nigeria) Limited. Today, Fotofair is a leading photo laboratory company in Nigeria with over 30 laboratories spread across the nation. Hajiya, as she is fondly called, has impressively carved her path in the sixth-largest oil producer’s oil and gas sector. As far back as the late 1980s, during the Gen. Ibrahim Babangida-led military administration, she had steered her oil and gas company through the highly connected and contested Nigerian oil and gas sector to secure allocations for oil blocks.

Five months after the deployment of Nigerian troops as part of the Africa-led International Support Mission to Mali (AFISMA) to fight Islamic insurgents, there is no respite in sight for soldiers who have suffered untold hardship and total neglect of the contingent. PREMIUM TIMES can exclusively report that the 873-man contingent is still making do with poor nutrition, and unpaid allowances of up to three months. The overwhelming perception of other participating countries in the mission is that the Nigerian contingent has fallen short of the United Nations’ standard. “They are struggling to remain in Mali,” a defence source said. They are not being fed good food. They have been eating plain boiled spaghetti twice daily without condiments.” PREMIUM TIMES had exclusively reported the abysmal condition of the troops and the lack of morale caused by the absence of logistics and basic provisions. But defence authorities had denied it, saying the soldiers were well taken care of. Four months after our initial reports, nothing seems to have changed, as the condition of the soldiers seems to have worsened. Our source said allowances haven’t been paid for up to three months. The Commanding Officer (CO), of the contingent, Colonel T. E Gagariga, has been particularly fingered as encouraging soldiers to keep mute and pretend things are fine. “Commanding Officer told soldiers to pretend that everything is all right because been promised a good appointment. They’re really suffering.” Morale is said to be at an all time low within the 333 Arty Regiment with the codename NIBATT 1. It is not true But the battalion commander says claims of hardship and low morale by troop are untrue. “All that is pure lie,” said Col. Gagariga, when contacted by PREMIUM TIMES. “We are doing our very best in every circumstance. My soldiers are of high morale. http://premiumtimesng.com/news/138985-exclusive-hardship-mounts-as-poorly-fed-nigerian-troop-in-mali-are-unpaid-for-three-months.html
