People should just allow this man tell his side of the story.
If they're not satisfied, they're free to come up with theirs.
Talking about June 12, one of the major players is still very much alive - David Mark.
Why are we making it look as if he accused a dead man because he wouldn't defend himself in death. What about David Mark?
He was highly complicit!
Yet he hasn't said a word.

IBB got rid of Vasta because he was afraid of him period.
What exactly was IBB afraid of? I mean this was your best friend of many years... the issue still hurts me till today 😪
Re: IBB Defends Executing Childhood Friend, Family Demands Restitution by tommy589(m):
He hated Vatsa,that's just it. Where would Vatsa get such money? If he was sponsored,why was the sponsor not arrested. Jealousy kill all of you.
He was not part of your coup and you gave him a sensitive Ministerial position.Why? You brought him closer to make an easy case for his involvement in a coup. You were known to give young officers money to make them like you.With Vatsa it was different. You just have to like him without inducement
Vatsa was an accomplished writer,popular in the academic community.He was a different voice among them in SMC and won't have allowed the nonsense they later got Nigerians into

I edited my post.

Vasta headed the tribunal that sentenced Dimka to death. So the Jos mafia. Wanted to get back at him. They forced IBB to sign his death warrant.

So what makes you feel or think he is lying, especially at this old age?

Besides, some of those officers are still alive today, don't you think some would counter his statement if they were lies.
Thinking old people don't lie shows how immature your thinking faculty is...na wa ooo, some people can easily be deceived sha.

Even the sitting president can't counter IBB confrontational. All Northern politicians are behind him. The north Love their own even when they know they are wrong. They are the problem of Nigeria.

Some crashed in planes.
Some framed and arrested abroad.
Some died of "natural causes".
Some died by "penury".
Some died by letter bomb delivered to them by the presidency.

Tinubu who his slaves always hail as a NADECO Democrat was the one who led the fund raising and book launch for IBB.

IBB is the man who cancelled the election that NADECO was fighting to restore the mandate.

It is obvious how dubious in character the person called Tinubu is.

Zero integrity, just full of propaganda
Recently, the ibos have turned to licking and sniffing hairy aboki a$$es all because of President Tinubu

This is IBB's final card. And he used it well.

He might be lying through his teeth but he will retire to his chair and watch you all lose your minds over him once again.
Who gives a FLYING FUHCK?!?!

He has gone down in history as the greatest villain in Nigeria's history!

What of the Gulf War Oil windfall?

Did he talk about that in his pox-ridden book, too?

Those of us who lived through June 12 know how close Nigeria went to collapse.

Those of us who knew when Dele Giwa was killed and heard Kayode Soyinka's account of Dele Giwa saying "this letter must be from the President" shortly before being blown to smithereens remember well!

Those of us who were alive to see the aftermath of the C-130 crash that took out hundreds of officers and one officer's wife remember well!

We remember how bewildered we were that the whole world BEGGED this fiend not to kill Vatsa, but he did.

He can shove his stupid book up his stinking crack!

He's retiring all right, to the grave. He's had his arse literally glued to his chair for years now.

Dead men tell no tales. I like as IBB dey whine Nigerians. Baba let everyone die before coming out with his concorted fabu. Nigerians know the real facts. but I fear the next generation might tend to believe IBBs useless book. Guess that's why E.H Carr wrote "what is history"

He is lying he broadcast the annulment of June 12 election by himself. He addressed the nation that particular evening and pronounced the annulment of the June 12 1993 election. He doesn't want to handover power it was General Sanni Abacha that put his feet down that he must abdicate power. And on the 26tj August 1993 he said 'I am stepping aside"

Thank God for Obasanjo that killed his political ambition when he wanted to contest 2003 presidential election. He IBB masterminded so many killings.
Re: IBB Defends Executing Childhood Friend, Family Demands Restitution by Dpaulie(m): 7:16am On Feb 22, 2025
When he self imposed himself as a "self selected " president,, was Abacha forced him to do that toohuh? I couldn't imagine how IBB was celebrated on that book launch day...it's like celebrating a devil, I was pained because I witnessed his dictatorship

epainos:
Just imagine, IBB unjustly murdered his childhood friend because of power. Did he bring any evidence to really show Vasta plotted a coup against him? Nope. All these people he mentioned are dead na. Mehn. This man is evil. There is no repentance in him. He called dead people in his book that cannot counter him. This man is evil. Just imagine, he executed someone who was his best man when he married Mariam. Na so this man evil reach ooo. Kids, you don't know IBB. He is evil. He didn't give him the opportunity to appeal na. Piam.....he executed him, and everyone was shocked when they heard Vasta was dead cos we expected him to appeal cos the man pleaded for his life and was crying that his best friend should save him. If he is telling the truth, why did he wait for almost every to die to publish jis historical book? I remember that Vasta said if it was against someone else, he wouldn't cry, but against Ibrahim his closest and best friend....never. Maria was confused. I remember that time na.

I was one of the first that scolded NL kids making positive comments about IBB. Many of you think Buhari or Tinubu are evil....lol. You dont know IBB. Ha. This man is a devil. The fact is that these kids don't even understand what Nigerians passed through in 80s and 90s in the hands of Buhari (military rule), IBB, and Abacha. You don't understand the dark ages of students where schools were closed anyhow. You think closing of schools during Jonathan and Buhari's return were disasters? Lol. Go and ask your parents how IBB made them sleep at home for years without options. Una kuku get options now. Many of you can move abroad now, hmmmm....go ask your parents what students suffered in those days. And I still read some comments above. One is even asking what if he was right? Lol. This is why I always keep quiet when they start insulting Sowore. Though, Sowore can over do it, but mehn! I still remember Mayegun in those days. Mehn. You kids are "very extremely" lucky.

I have written that IBB will not die well, and I will repeat it here as Yoruba people would say - ko ni ku ree. Oloriburuku, oloshi. Kids, go ask your parents that someone said IBB is a bastard, and I bet you...they will add 10 more curses. This man is evil.

Go read my past posts where I wrote that he is trying to write a good legacy for himself and the mistake he has made is that he passed the blame on a dead man. Lol. Abacha isn't alive to fire him and reveal the evil they both did.

Do you guys notice that he also waited for Jeremiah Oseni to pass to glory?. He knows Jerry would defend Abacha na. I bet you that he has had this book on his table maybe over 15 years, but he waited for those people to die. And if he was not alive, I feel he might have paid for the book to be published after these people were dead.

But IBB has made the greatest mistake of his life. I predict that this book will give birth to about more 5 books. Listen, Minimum of 5 people will counter IBB with books so they can all go into history. Kids, just watch it.

My God that said IBB will see messes and humiliation before his death is the reason he spared his life to publish this book after the death of people who could counter him because they did the evil together.. But he will be shocked that one of those people would have kept proofs somewhere, and they will burst out all the evil they all did together. Mark my words, a real proof that he killed Dele Giwa might be revealed before his death. Cos only those that planned it with him can reveal it. And I feel, some will very soon. My spirit is telling me so.

Maradona IBB thinks he can still dribble us. Children, this is his nickname. He is mischievous. Also, he is called the "evil genius". Lol. This man is evil. grin You guys don't know him at all. This man? Hahahahahah! Don't believe this demon. He is smart. Ha. IBB. Don't you hear his name? Maradona. I kuku know you watch football and you know how Maradona dribbled a complete team from the center of the pitch to score a superb goal. That's why he is called Maradona. There is a song about him. "Maradon....don do oooo....Maradona". I still remember that track. cheesy

Anyway, I await more criticism, and I know that books will be published soon to counter him so that generations after us will have his book and others. Then, they will know that this man is evil. Instead of him to go to his grave silently, and let the issues remain unsolved, he wants to play smart again to put all blames on those who are dead who cannot defend themselves. Lol.

IBB removed moral instructions from the heart of Nigerians. If you wonder why Nigerians are called 419 everywhere, this is the man that started it. He turned faithful people to rogues. This man is evil. He legalised corruption in Nigeria. He legalised looting. In those days, you would be afraid to loot, but this man rewarded looters as long as they did his bidding.

He destroyed good people's legacy. Children, Google "Tai Solarin". Hahahhaha. The way he messed up that baba and his legacy. Hahahaha.

I even pity Igbos cos this man destroyed them. Lol. IBB finished the eastern region. Kids, you don't understand. And codedly, some people say he destroyed the great Awo too. Na story for another day. Wetin this man no destroy for Nigeria? IBB!

Just wait and see. More people will tell you that IBB is werey and oloriburuku.
The destruction of Nigeria started with him.He demanded that Nigerians should speak with one voice on getting IMF loan or not. Solidarity rallies were held in all the 19 states rejecting IMF loans,it was all charade as he went for the loan and brought SAP. Or is it the one of Nigeria a secular country becoming OIC member. State sponsored Islamic fundamentalism in Nigeria started with him

I am now beginning to truly understand the kind of dubious person Tinubu truly is. He is worse than I thought. He is worse than Babangida himself. He learnt from the military guys and became more hardened with betrayal and wickedness.
Re: IBB Defends Executing Childhood Friend, Family Demands Restitution by Jlow2: 7:27am On Feb 22, 2025
He played everyone from the beginning to the end , very smart and clever man, Abacha was deadly but was not smart Ibb had a lot of foot soldiers because of his carisma and made many people billionaires from all tribes of Nigeria , funny enough the same agbado pple that antagonized him he played them again as an agbado was the spokesman of the day, they actually antagonized him 32years ago not because of june12 annulment but because they were not part of the national cake sharing as of then, but today they re and the cheer and clap for him, what a man ibb is, in the words of abdulmumuni Abiola -Yoruba people killed man father and shared his meat.

Domkat Bali was the head of the military that "court-martialled" Vatsa, they said they found no evidence, but the instruction was to have him killed.


IBB is a devil.

He's the architect of our modern day problems. He handed us to IMF and world bank. He demilitarized us to protect his regime.

He annulled the best election in our history - it's upon this election we'd have gotten it right with our electoral processes.

If he had allowed Buhari and Idiagbon at that time to stay for 4 years, we'd have gotten some discipline as a people and probably would have been more orderly by now.

He did well in terms of some infrastructure and relocating the FCT to Abuja though.
Re: IBB Defends Executing Childhood Friend, Family Demands Restitution by Exceed15: 7:40am On Feb 22, 2025

We that voted in June 12 1993 knows the thrle truth. IBB himself knows the truth. He is just trying to be clever by half.

From what IBB said, there wasn't any strong evidence against him (Vasta) if Lt col musa said the money given to him was for a farm project, it was up to the tribunal to investigate further. Not draw conclusions because musa had been involved in various coup scandals.

Besides, the late General domkat Bali who was among the Supreme military council that convicted Vasta and others admitted years later they couldn't find any evidence against him.

Even General Gado Nasco who was mentioned by IBB in his book also said they couldn't find any evidence against Vasta. That what prompted them to arrest him was because he (Vasta) tried to escape.

IBB got rid of Vasta because he wanted to please the Jos mafia who made up the bulk of his senior officers. Vasta headed the tribunal that sentenced Lt col Dimka and others to death. So the Jos officers wanted to make Vasta pay for that.
There was strong evidence...50k no be small money then

He paid others as well

Vatsa had paid several officers money to facilitate the coup operation

He has always been a narcissistic psychopath.
Most of the people that associate with him, do it out of fear of what he could do to them.
He is still capable of "kpaing" them or ending their political careers.
He has no real friends........
Who sits at a table and justifies why he killed his best friend while having lunch with friends and colleagues
And people think that's a normal human being.
