Boss,
You well so?

You are barking at the wrong tree Ekuke...direct that question to your palle

Factcheck0001:
Igbos are so mischievous that they always change their names to other People names

The Yorubas are very very dangerous set of people.

Truthcat:
Ibos secretly wish they are Yoruba, just go and look at the rate they're changing their names to Yoruba names.

The Yorubas are very very dangerous set of people.

Babangida may not have lied in his narratives in the book, the only thing is that some of the people he wrote about are dead and cannot reply him.

The book " my journey in service" is babangida's best efforts in correcting wrong.

Many had previously demanded for babangida's authiobraphy so go and read the book properly.

He is stating his right.

TUANKU:
The better life and standard of living you will never have, you dummy. Abi you and him dey on the same level? Can you afford the things he can afford? Banza kawaii

Your IQ is very poor. Is life only about standard of living of yourself alone? We are talking about a man who committed crime against humanity and treasonable offences against the country, but because he stole money, you keep praising him or his standard of living.
You get sense at all?
You sure say you fit pass exam for school like this?[/quote]

These ones are not thinking of Nigeria and Nigerians, except as it relates to their pockets.

Klass99:
@ Naptu2, please can you summarise for me the highlights of Babangida's book or what's in it, that has so many people talking.

All I know is that he was going to have a book launch @ Transcorp Hilton Abuja. Now all I see is one gbas gbos or the other concerning him and his book.

I haven't read or followed any of the topics on NL because of how toxic the site can be with tribal and religious slurs/wars. I know your history, government and current affairs knowledge is tight so fill me in whenever you see this.

I"ll check back later for the update when I am done watching the fall of diddy. That monster is going down!

Please, klass
Tag me too
When he summarizes it

I want to learn or two things

Greatness09:

(Part 2)
MY JUNE 12 STORY

-Col. Abubakar Dangiwa Umar(rtd)

I felt free to warn IBB of the possibility of a military coup if he decided on self-succession as some of his senior officers were speculating. Being the commandant of the armoured corps and a truly loyal subordinate, I had no doubt that my observations had significant impact on the President and perhaps contributed to his decision to step aside as some convenient exit point.

Having said this, I was under no illusion, that a coup against IBB would be an easy task, not with his sophisticated security network, which was reinvigorated after its embarrassing failure to detect Orkar's attempted coup. I believe it is his sense of total control of the military that informed his often- quoted statement that he dominates his environment. Also he operated one of the most generous welfare programmes the military ever had. All the same, self-succession was not on the cards, he assured me. I left him more confused. What I heard was in sharp contrast with Abacha's conclusion. My attitude was to give IBB a chance but at the same time, keep in touch with the Abacha group.

The SDP and NRC primaries were held, with MKO Abiola and Bashir Tofa emerging as their respective presidential candidates. Although security reports scored them as worse than the previous party primaries in the manner of their fraudulent conduct, the government expressed satisfaction with then conduct.

In fact, IBB endorsed the emergence of the two flag bearers when he opined that the nation could not hope for better presidential candidates. I did not share these sentiments but I was satisfied that the transition was making progress. In our subsequent meetings with Abacha, I drew attention to the positive development and urged him to sustain the momentum. He expressed pessimism. I will now fast forward to June 1993.

A few days to the 12 June presidential elections, Justice Bassey Ikpeme (now late) of the Federal High Court, Abuja, granted the Association for Better Nigeria (ABN) a previously unknown political pressure group, an injunction stopping NEC from going ahead with the conduct of the elections.

I met the President and pleaded with him to set aside the court ruling on the strength of an existing law that ousted the powers of all courts to interfere with NEC's conduct of elections and also because of its cataclysmic potential. He agreed and immediately summoned NEC chairman, Prof. Humphrey Nwosu and asked him to go ahead with preparations for the election.
Before I left Aso Rock, I met Brig. Gen. Akilu who told me that the President had just briefed him on my position which he supported. He added that the nation was fast losing faith and that we should support IBB to hand over and leave a good legacy like Gen. Obasanjo had done in 1979. I thanked him.
On my way out, I met a group of officers, including Gen. Abacha, making their way to the President's office. I was later told that their mission was to urge IBB to respect the court's ruling, their reason being that neither Abiola nor Bashir Tofa was acceptable to the military.

Furthermore, the Structural Adjustment Programme (SAP) had not started yielding the much expected dividends and civilians could not muster the political pluck to sustain it. I really didn't know whether Abacha shared these views or was simply carrying the message of a group which he felt was politically influential in the scheme of things. Whatever the truth was, I became skeptical of Abacha's sincerity.

The presidential elections were held on June 12 as scheduled. They were adjudged as the freest and fairest by both NEC and local and international observers. I phoned the President from Bauchi to congratulate him on the peaceful election. He sounded relieved. Results started trickling in and from all indications, MKO Abiola was leading by a wide margin and one could safely conclude, an unbridgeable margin.
But then, rumours started flying that NEC was after all, not satisfied with the conduct and was about to recommend total cancellation to the government.

About one week later, I met Mr. President and confronted him with the rumours. He denied but added that NEC was still in the process of collating the results, which would be announced in due course. I went back to Bauchi , satisfied that all was well.
We had earlier discussed with Baba Gana Kingibe, who was Abiola's running mate, against the wish of IBB according to him. He told me that the president expressed misgivings about a Moslem-Moslem ticket but had to let go when Abiola assured him that he would have no problem with the Christian community.

Baba Gana visited me on my return to Bauchi. He was agitated. He was as usual very blunt when he warned that they had information about government's plan to annul the June 12 election results. He added that should that happen, Abiola would fight the annulment. I assured him that no such thing would happen. I told him that I was in touch with IBB who assured me that there was no truth in the wicked rumours.
He left, definitely feeling reassured. I got the impression that Baba Gana was more concerned about the dire consequences of an annulment to national stability than losing an opportunity to serve as the Vice- President.

A couple of days later, I was summoned to Aso Rock by Mr. President. He was presiding at a meeting of the National Defence and Security Council when I arrived. He came out on break around 1pm and called me to his office. Looking tired and angry, he said to me, "I am really fed up with all this. I am going to quit this thankless job and allow you guys to find a solution to your problems” or words to that affect. I expressed surprise. He then told me about the security reports he received to the effect that the military was against the election results and that some middle- ranking officers had vowed to topple the new government as soon as he handed over. Some senior officers had become apprehensive of the decision to hand over immediately.

I was shocked by this revelation and assured IBB that such reports were baseless. They were the creation of senior officers who did not want to retire from service. I told him that my reading of the situation was that Abiola did very well in the barracks and most officers I spoke to expressed satisfaction with the results received so far and were happy that the military was after all relinquishing power. He looked unsure.
Well, I beseeched the President not to even contemplate annulment. It was already evident that Abiola had emerged the winner after the results of 29 states were already known to NEC. Abiola's win was an added bonus because it would achieve the much desired power shift to the south. He agreed. Before taking my leave, I informed the President that I planned to retire from service as soon as he found any need to annul the June 12 election. I also informed him that some newspapers had that morning mischievously and falsely identified me as the leader of a group
that met and recommended that the President should annul the result of the election. He was very sympathetic. I took leave.

Dalohad:
I never knew that I would be alive to see we Yorubas hail the Abachas. Chei.. Nigeria. .

The same Abacha that was responsible for the death of MKO and thousands of other people ooo.

Yorubas are two faced people.

This is another evidence of that.

malali:
Abacha had his vices no doubt.
But he wont lie on a dead man.

He wasn't that kind of weak man.
I pray my friends stand up for me even when i am dead.

Thats why i cut my friends off, once i hear or notice you act differently behind my back.

What difference does it make, you're already dead.Whatever is said about you is inconsequential.

AfahaAbia:
It was actually Abacha who saved IBB from the Orka coup. Go and ask...

Yep!
IBB could have simply said "considering how often Abacha had saved my ass, I was in a dilemma what to do with him not be an irredeemable ingrate. I just could not muster the balls to retire him, for fear his boys might whoop my ass badly."

This would have been more commendable. As evil and corrupt as Abacha was, he had more integrity and honour than IBB.

[quote author=TUANKU post=134270741][/quote]He over took power via a coup in August 1985
He ordered the execution of General Mamman Vatsa alongside 8 others military officers in March 1986
He is connected with the assassination of Dele Giwa October 1986
The annulment of June 12 elections of 1993, failure to hand over power to a democratically elected president (which eventually led to the death of the President-elect)
Several postponements of handover dates and so many other heinous crime
Did you say I should provide evidence he stole public funds? You are just a big joke!

Very well said 👍🏼


Despite all the evil attributed to him, IBB has somehow managed to live a long and seemingly fulfilled life. What he wrote in his new book is a personal account. We urge others who witnessed the events to corroborate or counter them with verifiable facts.

My friend living long is not an achievement, living a quality life is what count, using the opportunity you have to better the lives of others is what counts before God

Gbadamosi can never end well, let's wait and see.

what else is ending well for a man at his age and achievement, and have his autobiography by himself what else

malali:
Very true.
Abacha faced rebel forces, gun blazing
Armed and ready to die driving in his peugeot (which was not armored or bulletproof)
This was after Babangida had sacrificed his ADC UK bello
And escaped through the back route.
It was this single act of loyalty that Babangida promised to hand over to Abacha when he retires.

A lot of people alive know this story.

Abacha clearly had the desire to rule after Babangida and did demonstrate his loyalty. However, it appears Babangida did not believe Abacha had what it takes mentally to be the President. While Abacha was loyal and a fearless soldier, he wasn't necessarily a brilliant guy as we all learnt during his eventually tenure as President.

But how do you tell someone who has been loyal and saved your life that he was not qualified in your opinion to be President? That was Babangida's dilemma and why he said Abacha was a big headache because Abacha was not willing to let go of his ambition and he appeared to have extracted a promise from. Babangida when he saved him during the Orka Coup.

At the twilight of Babangida's tenure, it was Abacha that he feared most and he didn't have much support from his military colleagues to elongate his stay or hand over to a civilian government.

Even when we know Babangida is being economical with the truth, the June 12 election annulment definitely had input from Abacha. In fact Abacha stood as the biggest beneficiary because of his own ambitions to become President which would be stalled or terminated by Abiola becoming President.

Hmmmm, IBB

I remember that pirate of the caribean title ' dead man tell no

IBB book has been fact-checked and verified as A LOAD OF LIES. What else should one expect from a self-acclaimed EVIL-GENIUS and a man named MARADONA because of his crookedness?

Never believed we will come to a point when issues about Abacha and IBB (1985 -1998) will take centre stage in 2025.

This men had their time, ran the country the way there like and enriched there families doing it.

just2endowed:
What if all the clawns decided to copy abacha by stashing all our resources to oversees country, make everyone pay for primary education at premium cost. Or do u think abacha was interested in you or me? Probably you didn't live during his reign.

Look at his children and grand children. They are richer than dangote and that's your wealth they are flaunting.

Yet life was better then than now. Who taught the khakhi boys how to steal? Thesame clowns hovering around the seat of power. It's more complex than you think. Thesame countries receiving his loot were sanctioning him.
