Hemanwel:
President Buhari wasn't present. Why?

Egbon naptu2, you addressed IBB as "president Babangida". He was a "Head of States" nah! He wasn't a democratically-elected leader. Or, is there something I am missing? You can school me. I am always willing and ready to learn from you, sir!

Blitzking:
IBB is getting ready to leave this earth.

xpressionx:
Did you see Buhari there?
No, because he doesn't go to places where the discuss intellectual matters.

Tinubu was busy smiling when Osibanjo was naming IBB's classmates,if anyone dared him to mention his classmates am sure he would just close his brown teeth.

Artscollection:
IBB na boss of all bosses 4get and i feel he is a nationalist just like obj. Alakija no show face to come pay homage. That man manufactured billionares with niger delta oil. He shared the cake fairly.

beerfraud:
IPOBidients made Tulumbu the president if you know you know
They are the cause of our “pains” today

beerfraud:
you will never see prominent Ibos in gathering like this
Most of their leaders lack charisma

Shivisee1:
Where are pandoro people to come and see leaders! Not their market agulu clown in his black attire fond of always grandstanding on lambas to fool his “gullible IPOBs retards to badmouth Nigeria.

PHIPEX:
You
You saw few pictures and started running your mouth, 1.2 IQ level. That's why politicians easily use ur brain

chatinent:
The sentence "youths are the leaders of tomorrow" is the most abused sentence.

How can the youth be so when old and wrinkled men refuse to leave power? They even go as far as changing their date of birth to accommodate more years!

Minjim:
Oimagine the harm the annullement had caused the nation, the lives lost and properties destroyed? This man is now being celebrated by politicians that MKO himself nurtured.


This is pure evil . Why do we celebrate evil? No bad deed should go unpunished. If it's a poor common man now to the useless dss will be all over him harassing the person

On a courtesy visit to former military President Ibrahim Babangida ahead of his book launch tomorrow. -AA

I have just arrived at the Transcorp Hilton Hotel Abuja for the book launch of former military president Ibrahim Babangida and fundraising for the IBB Presidential Library. -AA #AJourneyInService

Today, I had the gracious honour of attending the launch of President Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida’s long-awaited autobiography, A Journey in Service, at the Transcorp Hilton, Abuja.

IBB’s contributions to Nigeria’s economy and his strong support for entrepreneurship and private sector growth remain immeasurable.

Under his leadership, Nigeria witnessed substantial growth, particularly in the financial sector. He played a key role in fostering a united and equitable Nigeria, and economic landscape, ensuring policies that strengthened national cohesion and economic development.

Documenting such experiences is a welcome development, as it allows us to learn from those who have served and left a lasting impact on the nation. I look forward to reading this book, which undoubtedly holds valuable lessons. As someone committed to continuous learning, I will always align myself with knowledge drawn from documented experiences and historical records as well as contributing to the legacy library.

Two Key Takeaways from the Keynote Address and IBB comment on the 1993 election.

1. The 1st is the keynote Speaker's notable quotation in French, "Rien n’a changé" meaning "Nothing much has changed." In the case of Nigeria, we are worse off than we were during IBB’s era. Using our contemporary peers as a benchmark, when IBB left office in 1992, countries like Bangladesh, India, Vietnam, and Ghana were all in the low Human Development Index (HDI) category—just like Nigeria. Today, however, these nations have advanced to medium and high HDI levels, while Nigeria remains in the low HDI category, having either stagnated or declined.

2. The Keynote speaker's comment that Ghana has remained a truly democratic country for the past 30 years, with leadership transitions that reflect the genuine votes of the people. Unlike Nigeria, where electoral outcomes often fail to reflect the people’s will, Ghana has witnessed instances where ruling party candidates conceded defeat, respecting democracy in its truest form.

Lastly of the most profound moments of the event was IBB’s admission that Chief MKO Abiola won the June 12 election. This acknowledgement is a step toward national healing, unity and progress of our nation.

I hope that one day, other key players in Nigeria’s democracy will find the courage to recognize the true winners of past elections, allowing our nation to tell its story with honesty and reflection.

A New Nigeria is POssible!

He did not nail d real issue. What happened in June 12, could be traced back to d assassination of General Murtala. And d cruel execution of some innocent officers eg Gen Bisiala etc

The speech Murtala gave was similar to d one MKO gave. Steering Nigeria away from Neocolonialism.
IBB bow to foreign powers to annul in what M16, CIA classified as security concerns.
Abacha did not follow d West neither d West like MKO but they made sure they keep him in good contact.
When they got Abacha though Yessar Arafat bodyguard handshake, Abiola assumed his mandate is sure. He went into a trap.This same West pressurized IBB and Abubakar to hand over power to Civilian and support their choice.

For IBB to say Abacha pressurized him to annul June 12 is ballant lie.
Obj made sure he never honor MKO and also tag Abacha investment and hight stakes abroad when our currency was strong 'Abacha Loot'.

Nigeria is built on a very bad foundation

I hail u sir.

Berankis:
The only mistake I see Tinubu making is inflicting excruciating pain on poor Nigerians but breaking the Northern cabals that have placed their plates on Nigeria's head while eating from it, I love that!
All their strong holds, all their illegal acquisitions of oil rigs, mining sites etc should be dismantled and withdrawn from them
The country still belongs to all and not just Northerners alone.
Can you just imagine how 2 people (2 fucking Northeners) donated 8billion to a fucking library of a fucking retired Criminal!!!

Back in September. . .

Obasanjo: "Mr President, you are welcome back from Ghana".

Buhari: "Welcome to the Villa Sir".




Last week. . .

Buhari to Gowon: "Morning Sir the Overlord".


Buhari to IBB: "Ibro, how are we?"
Babangida: "Ranka ya dade".
