La ilaha illallah muhammadur rasulullah

What most young Nigerians don't know is that the guy in the middle of that picture the late Brigadier Ibrahim Bako was the one initially tipped to become Head of State after the coup that overthrew the Shagari regime and not Buhari. It's quite unfortunate he lost his life in the shootout with Shagari's presidential guards on that day.

It shows glaringly that "the man" was and is still an opportunist leader that seeks power not because he knows exactly what to do with it except enjoying the perks that comes with it.

We are counting down the clock to that day he'll vacate the seat. I just hope he won't suddenly realise he knows what's best for Nigeria then, like Obasanjo, IBB and Abdul-Salam.

Very incompetent even in the picture

It shows nothing of the kind

Or maybe his death was planned

Maybe he was killed by bullets from his own men, who were working for Buhari so that the obstruction on the way can be removed, leaving no obstacle to Buhari becoming president.

Maybe you need to go and pick up a history book

Buhari have never been looking gallant or cut the image of a combatant soldier.The quota system cluelessness toga is always written all over him.

Till today, the controversy surrounding that gruesome incident will never be unravelled because even Buhari himself is always frantically trying with futility to exonerate himself from anything that has to do with that Dec.31st 1983 coup.He was my dad GOC then in Jos.

Brigadier Ibrahim Bako's father was a personal friend of then president Shehu Shagari. So the coup plotters wanted to infiltrate State House Abuja to arrest Shagari through Bako.

Unknown to a detachment of the plotters coming in from Lagos and Kaduna, then Capt.Augustine Anyago acting alongside his guards brigade Commander in Lagos-Col.Bello Kaliel have gotten wind of their impending coup plot that night.

Hence when the Brigadier Bako/Col.Tunde Ogbeha's coup party arrived to arrest and whisked Shagari away to an unknown destination, they were met with stiff resistance from the presidential guards who engaged them in a shot out akin to what happened during the Dodan Barracks phase of the Gideon Orkar coup in Lagos on April 22 1990.

In the confusion that ensued, Brigadier Ibrahim Bako was fatally shot by a yet to be identified fella-whether from friendly fire or the Shagari's guards, this has never been proven till date.

Why is it "unfortunate" that a disorderly fellow aiming to dismantle the will of the people died in the process? I just can't understand why the majority of black people are hopeless?

You seem to know so much about Nigeria.

What's your thoughts about the future and/or 2023?

Gworo chewing failure, even in 1962 he was still a vegetable and looked unhealthy. His mates were in class learning but he is outside feeling funky and taking photographs, no wonder he failed all his military exams, spits

I don't see any tall lanky Buhari in that picture.
