He did all these in 8 years, paid fuel subsidy, maintained a good dollar to naira exchange and paid pension/ salary to workers. But after 24 years of democracy, we are worst of as a nation. 😢😢😢 *COPIED. Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida GCFR (born 17 August 1941) is a Nigerian retired general and statesman who served as military president of Nigeria from 1985 until his resignation in 1993. He rose through the ranks to serve from 1984 to 1985 as Chief of Army Staff; going on to orchestrate his seizure of power in a coup d'état against Muhammadu Buhari. 17 Likes 3 Shares

Our kids weren't told he did all the above...so sad. Democracy is a curse to Africa...Obasanjo, Jonathan and Buhari combined couldn't achieve half of what Ibrahim Babangida achieved in just 8 years. He is the best leader Nigeria ever had. Parachoko: You just proved how ignorant you are...you sure sey you go school so? I don't understand how someone can be so ignorant yet boastful. seun Mynd44 OAM4J nlfpmod lets educate those who have zero knowledge about this elder statesman that deserves to be celebrated irrespective of our political affiliation...it's still his birthday month at 82. 17 Likes 3 Shares

People have varying opinions. But Babangida was majorly viewed as corrupt just like Abacha and many other politicians we have in the present day. Nigeria's economy took a nose dive under IBB right from the when he took over government. The tragedy of Nigeria began in 1986 when we did the structural adjustment programme. The policy was abused. Even the Gulf war oil windfall could not revive the dead economy. The policy aggravated rather than improve the adverse economic condition of the country. For instance, there was massive inflation, and Nigeria’s external debt more than quadrupled between 1986 and 1989. The privatization and commercialization of Government corporations caused tariff hike, and increase in the production and optimal cost of firms. As a result many small firms wound out of business. The anti-sap riots contributed to IBB later on reliquinshing power c/w the 1993 election riots which he annulled. During the anti-sap riots, 150 Nigerian students of various higher academic institutions lost their lives. 5 Likes |

One of Nigeria's greatest leaders. If not the greatest of them all. Theunbothered, Ayo2004. IBB was criticized by so many like you but when ever he gives his critics an opportunity to serve and prove their words, they fail woefully. A very good example is Prof. Taye Solarin. He couldn't even manage a ordinary bank meant for the masses, PEOPLE'S BANK. An advocate for the well being of the poor failed Babangida's test. What about Wole Soyinka? and lots more. Most people who criticize our leaders will fail woefully when given a minute portion to manage. Lol.. but some people will alway look for who to blame for their inefficiency. Babangida is not the reason you are living a miserable life. Point to one infrastructure today that Babangida is not a part of it. Is it Abuja? Third mainland bridge? I can go on and on. Babangida is the one that practically built Nigeria infastructurally, and institutionally. Till date, the election he conducted is still the best of them all. Food for thought. 5 Likes 1 Share |

Keep in mind that oil was about $20 -$30 per barrel throughout IBB's rule. Only a brief period during the gulf war of 1990/91 did oil cross $40 per barrel. But since civilian rule oil has stayed above $40 per barrel. Now compare and contrast! 4 Likes |
