True.

I hope he doesn't exonerate himself from the elitist rot.

Normalize? Babangida made deception cool a long time ago. He would have been shot in many other countries.

May God bless you Sir, the book published by IBB was nauseating and a joke taken too far. He doesn't understand the gravity of his offence against the nation. Is it the deaths, destruction, collapse businesses and economy turmoil.

He think he can just push away those atrocities away with fake story and deceit? So annoying.

Atedo Peterside is one of them too

Arostar2023:
He is an old man na... dying now for him is not early. By human standard, anyway. I still don't understand why a segment of the nation is running helter-skelter since IBB released the purported useless book. Looking for every statement by Nigerians to justify their insecurities.

The prominent Atedo peterside the founder of stanbic bank is from south south. IBB is confused. Many great personalities are condemning the book but Ndi developers are praising. Thou the richest Igbo man made it in government under IBB. Anambra has no oil but their richest man owns one of the most lucrative oil well. I have said it severally that Nigerians from all region contributed to the country downfall. Even the richest man couldn't build a refinery after been one of those who obtained refinery license many years ago. It took Dangote to make a difference. Mugus from the bitter republic always say dangote is a product of government made and it now prove the semi illiterate richest man from their zone, whose English was embarrassing during the book lunch was 100% government made. Most Nigerian's knows how Dangote started from his grandfather supporting with alot of cash in 70s by trading before venturing into full scale manufacturing. No trace of Arthur Eze business profile before government intervention.

You obviously know nothing about Igbos. Every Igbo ma is an Eze in his own obi. Arthur Eze been the richest Igbo man doesn't matter to Igbos. Igbos generally don't have herd mentality like other parts of the country. Having said that, an ordinary Igbo man on the street has nothing to gain from the existence of Nigeria, it's only the political elites that are enjoying Nigeria. If Nigeria disintegrates today, an average business man from SE won't mind paying for visa and migrating to places where he sees business opportunities. Been it Maiduguri or Lagos...he doesn't care. IBB book whether it's a pack of lies or half-truths or whatever, seems to pepper a segment of the nation that made it their destiny to hate Igbos.

Lies and Nigerian politicians are co-joined twins. Unfortunately, there are inseparable
Even Satan is a junior student in the school of lies when a Nigerian politician is involved.

NOETHNICITY:
True, especially considering how the Ndi developers kindom rushed to praise the book

When I saw how they rushed to heap praise on the book, I knew immediately that something must be terribly wrong about the book

if amoda ogunlere writes a book I wonder if anything will be the truth in it but here we are criticising IBB's book which contains truths and lies like most politicians books usually are.

Even Osinbajo who u lot called judas book will not be 100% truth. it can never cos he will be exposing his benefactors.

It is already normalized naaaa

Islie:
Atedo Peterside, founder of Stanbic IBTC Bank Plc and Anap Foundation, says the Nigerian elite may “normalise” deceit if they have their way.

Speaking on Sunday Politics, a programme on Channels TV, Peterside said the Nigerian elite need to speak the truth always and not treat serious matters with levity.

Peterside was reacting to the recently released autobiography titled, ‘A Journey In Service’ by Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida (IBB).

The book chronicled the events before and after the annulment of the June 12, 1993 presidential election.

In the memoir, Babangida, among several revelations, said he was in Katsina when the annulment of the election, won by MKO Abiola of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), was announced by the press secretary of his second-in-command without his knowledge or permission.

He said he later discovered that the forces against the June 12 election were led by Sani Abacha, his chief of defence staff who later became military head of state.

Peterside said Nigeria needs the emergence of elders who will speak the truth and show the younger generation the right path.

“I’m not here to indict anybody but I think if we are not careful, the Nigerian elite would normalise deceit or fraud and things like that. They would normalise all sorts of things. That is why some people have pointed out that enough is enough. Let’s draw the line somewhere. There are some issues you cannot joke with,” Peterside said.

“The other thing I want to explain is that, very recently, we lost two very respected elder statesmen. People who showed examples in terms of standing for the truth repeatedly.

“When you hear something from Chief Ayo Adebanjo, you can take it to the bank. When you hear something from chief Edwin Clark, you can take it to the bank. Two of them passed on very recently. I served at the national conference with both of them. We were together in Abuja in 2014. We were delegates.

“So, we have to be careful because elder statemen like that who helped to set the right values for some of our young stars in terms of standing for something. Always telling the truth and so on.

“We have to make sure that a different group of elders also appear to fill that vacuum — stand for the truth. Tell the same story the same way. Tell the whole truth that would set them free. Because at the end of the day, it is a struggle for the soul of the nation.

“When IBB annulled that election on June 12. That was the first time we had mobile phones. I voted on my street in Victoria Island. We saw the results coming from all over the country except Taraba state. I was in my 30s. I knew what happened. I was among the people that came out after the annulment to say we can’t do this.

“Interestingly, one of the articles I wrote then. I have never heard anybody use that expression. I sat in my house and wrote it because there was no internet. I called it the ghost of June 12. What I was writing then was that June 12 would be like a ghost and it would haunt some people forever.”

Peterside added that the book launch “was the ghost of June 12 haunting some people and it is still haunting them, unfortunately”.

Atedo largely spoke succinctly there. On the other hand, based off of what Atedo said, 1993 was indeed the year mobile phones first made landfall in Nigeria... The big mobile phones of the "090" era.

Something they have normalise long ago

Even ibb is just old skool, he should have gathered some urchins like freesfuff, yarimo, emperorcaesar etc

Head them with a more cursed fóôl like reno

Is lies will fly more

Something wey dem don normalised tey tey !!!

educatedfool:
may soon

Even I, an educated fool, knew it has since been normalized.

Why can't he Speak TRUTH, Straight to the IBB and Condemn what is Bad- why is he bending?
As if he is living outside Nigeria!
Condemn the Fake Book ,called Memoirs- this is about a man who wants to alter Truth about what we all knew - June 12, Elections 1993!
He Single Handedly did evil Against Nigeria and Nigerians because he did not want to hand over Power to the Civilians.
He Established A University for himself and Family,so where did he get the Money 💰.
He IBB could not give Accounts of the Gulf War Oil Windfall till tomorrow - very discreet and disceptive and his actions was full of lies!
He brought SAP( Structural Adjustments Program) upon Nigeria, because he no longer Curry IMF and World Bank to his side!
Peter Atedo- ought to Speak all these to the Dictator- IBB!

The book is nauseating for those of us who queued up to vote on June 12, 1993, while hoping for a democratic change, freedom from our military oppressors, and true progress for the nation. I understand what Atedo Peterside is saying perfectly.

Who are the "you guys" lol.. don't be fooled o!

iwaeda:
Atedo always speak, I remembered him saying this economy you are building is against the youth. The irony is that many so called intellectuals on this forum, because of party affiliation or religion, will still try to shout you down, even with overwhelming truth. Omasee oo.

I doubt if there are intellectuals in this forum let alone many of them.

You only have an assemblage of APC hirelings and ethnic connoisseurs masquerading as intellectuals here.

You left the substance of june 1993 election and moved to attack ndigbo...you are a mumu man...a fool thinketh himself wise! If you sad westerners are tired of Ndigbo divide the useless country ASAP.....make we all go our different ways, aferall Ndigbo have nothing in common with yorubas....we do not share the same culture,language or food! Our DNA gene pool is wide apart.......make una carri una wahala go abeg!

You should also be ashamed of yourselves for making Tinubu the most truthful person in Yoruba land too.

Useless myopic hypocrite, you people are the reason why Nigerians are suffering today.

Kettle calling pot black.

I don't think many ppl know that IBB is a naturalised alien...

I only pity their children. Their children are now parents and they will be asking, "is grandpa doing the right thing"

Children don't need preaching, they learn by example. That's why you're seeing a Gen Z who are disrpescting the older people who did not show a good example in the first place, then they want to use elder to correct them

Elders that cannot do the right thing, is that one an elder

News to my ears. As if you all don't eat and breathe deceit!

Lies

May soon Enshrine deceit you say? Don't make me laugh sir. Something that has been written in the government's code of conduct playbook. Shameful what our elders portray with no shame and get away with. And you expect the next generation to be any better, and not up their antics?
