May Allah (SWT) forgive his shortcomings and may Jannatul Firdausi be his final Abode.

To those posting otherwise - not feeling his passage, should that. He was a Father, Husband, Relative to others, so it's natural for his death to be a great loss, at least to his Relations so prayers must or should be offered to him. Put yourself in any of his children or relatives, it's a must one will feel the lost as painful and a great loss. So once more rest on "Dogo-Dan-Daura" you will be remembered as our General and later as a civilian President of the Great Country Nigeria.

helinues:
The news is still shocking. I feel somehow weak sha

Am telling you. Really felt for his family too.

We will never forget how you brought common man to their knees with your unfortunate policies while in government.

The intimidations and impunity of your atrocious kinsmen Fulani herdsmen shall remain your legacy forever.

Nigerians will never forget you......

From top to bottom. Rip Jubril of Sudan🇸🇩

nairalanda1:
YOu want to know why our leaders die in UK hospitals?

Because UK citizens pay very high taxes, and yes, it is not like they like paying it or they can afford it...for their NHS, and as a result, they have superior hospitals.

You are asking for UK level hospitals on a health budget of 2-3 billion dollars....i dey laff. UK health spending is probably at least 200 billion dollars...or somehwere around 250 billion dollars. And you Nigerians want us to have UK type hospitals on 2-3 billion dollars budget.

Also, UK runs an industrial and diversified economy. Nigeria? The oil we produce can sustain a country of 10 million people....not 200 million people.


Ok o. There is realistic, and there is dreaming.

You guys, we should vote serious leaders, not people like buhari, obi, tinubu , gej and obasanjo. Leaders who will diversify our economy.

Let us be realistic here. It is not bad paying taxes but a struggling economy with a badly damaged middle cast, you don't tax your way into prosperity check nations that have moved from austerity to prosperity, they implemented tax cuts and reduced government spending.

Only Allah(God) we judge every deed of men. I will not judge, life is like a mist disappear tomorrow. Is a lesson to the those that think they are powerful and mighty, that no body knows tomorrow, for the leaders putting Nigerians into hardship and mess God will judge every deed. You guys pocket national wealth as yours.

Rich4god:
If only buhari didn't contest and allowed GEJ to continue, by now our nation would have gone far.

He came in and terminated the machineries who were fighting and clearing boko haram. Also he was part of those who brought bandits to wreck on the nation should he lose election.

Without him, our nation would have been a little bit better than what it is today.

Nothing like hero.

U mean mercenaries....yes i hate d fact he cancelled d contract.thst was completely suspicious like he wantd boko to continue

madridguy:
Thank you Sai Baba for your great sacrifice for our darling country.

blind people will never accept the truth. That man destroyed the little good he met in Nigeria during his presidency.

socialmediaman:
No matter how much I oppose the APC today, I was a Buharist until 6 months or so after he was elected President. I realized I was wrong, he didn’t have it in him, GEJ was the best choice to continue.

I created this account to support his Presidential ambition, but ended up parting ways and being very opposed to his presidency.

I wasn’t a fan of GEJ but he was the best choice to be president over Buhari, and Peter Obi today is the best choice to be President so I remain Obidient

You clearly lack good judgement. I was alive when Buhari was head of state, we All celebrated when he was overthrown. I cautioned at the time that the Buhari you are electing is not Buhari of 1983. He was a disaster economically then and the anti corruption credentials he garnered were under a military regime. I told everyone who would listen that Buhari cannot fight corruption as a civilian when the powers that brought him to office are the definition of corruption. And so it proved.

That said I admire him because he did some good things particularly infrastructure. Most importantly he was (and I recognized this at the time) the last of a breed of selfless leaders and public officers that I witnessed when I was young. Many of the young ones cannot relate. He was a man with good intentions but without the capacity.

Buhari’s death is the end of an era! I loved him for that even though I never voted for him( I did not vote for GEJ or Atiku either) and this is the first time a Nigerian leader has passed that I felt it like a relative has passed!

Back on topic people like you who support one politician today only to later say I made a mistake only show you lack insight and good judgement. In all likelihood your current choice is probably a disaster waiting to happen! If I were you I would reflect on your selection criteria because clearly you don’t have a good record!

Same story here. The best that could ever happen to Nigeria is continuous padding of the Naira dollar rate and fuel subsidy. The reason is because those are the only two good things we can get from the FG. They are not useful for any other thing. Now that they have removed those two benefits, we are asking, where are the trillions of naira realised from it? They can't do account.

I forgive President Buhari… rest in peace ✌️

People who claim to do everything right and never mistakes, stay away from them. Stay very far away from them. Even the richest people in the world, the best leaders in the world, admit to mistakes. For every 1 good success, there are probably tens or hundreds of failures

Whenever someone admits to making a mistake, they jump on it and start claiming to have known it all. Mistakes are the building blocks of a successful businesses, successful economies, and successful people

President Buhari,R.I.P.
You are a Very Patriotic person,as you recently defended Nigeria,just like OBJ did- against some former actors in your govt,who were acting Ulta- Vires their Authority! Kudos to you Sir!
But you failed the leadership tests as you allowed Humongous Corruption of some Cabinet Members - for example,the Ministry of Poverty Alleviation, Aviation Ministry,NNPC and it's Subsidiaries,etc,since you came on the matra of 'Fighting Corruption' but at lass, nothing as such for Nigerians.
Besides,too much religion bigotry in your govt.
Nevertheless,you are a Goodman, Forthright Person and above all You Are Very Patriotic- than the Politicians of this day!

He knows that he won't live long to partake in the sufferings he created. He died no longer able to siphon the national cake that has been keeping him alife. He should have died in a way that's ok to say what a death

The problem is you have not learnt from your past errors of judgement. You are the kind of people who when in 2015, we said Buhari was a disaster when he was head of state scoffed at us only to now say you regret voting for Buhari. You didn’t listen then and you won’t listen now. You are the same person who wanted GEJ out but is now saying he was a good leader. That the leader who came after him was worse than the previous does not remove the fact that GEJ was a terrible president! That you keep flip flopping just shows you don’t think right! And now once again you have a man whose term in office as a governor for 8 years is on show for everybody to dissect and you are saying he will be a good president. People like you are the ones that will come after he wins and destroys the country and start to say we should have kept Tinubu let him complete his reforms.

You don’t. think right! If you are still making the same poor judgement calls you made in 2015, it means you have learnt nothing! This is not a case of people make mistakes…..Your thought process is faulty…. full stop! If you have a faulty thought process you will always come to poor conclusions.

Divija:
Today, we say goodbye to a man who once carried the hopes of a nation on his shoulders. A president, a father figure to many, a symbol of change whose journey began with promise and passion.

In his early years, he was a beacon of hope. He spoke with fire in his bones and dreams in his heart. Streets once chanted his name, not out of fear, but of faith. He walked into power with the blessings of the people and for a moment we believed again. We believed in justice. In growth. In peace.

But history, as it often does, unfolded with its own script.

In his final days, weakened by time and circumstance, he made a choice that will haunt generations. He handed over the soul of our nation to a tyrant one who rules not with love or law, but with fear and fire. Since then, we have watched our people drown in silence, our freedoms strangled, our dignity auctioned to the highest bidder.

Was it weakness? Was it blindness? Was it betrayal?
We may never know.

But even in the pain of the present, we cannot erase the man he once was. The leader who once gave children books instead of bullets. Who once built bridges where walls stood. We honor that man today not to rewrite history, but to remember the full picture.

To mourn him is to mourn what could have been.

May his soul find the peace he couldn’t give his people.
And may we, the living, rise stronger wiser knowing that legacy is not just in what you build, but in who you leave the keys with when you are gone.

Rest well, Mr. President.
History will speak your name with both hope and caution.

sycophancy at its peak

SoftSport:
We thank him for his dedication and service in striving to make Nigeria a better and stronger nation.

President Tinubu has continued in his footsteps, bringing progress and transformation to the country.

May Allah grant President Tinubu long life, wisdom, and strength to lead Nigeria to even greater heights.

tinubu continued in buharis footsteps of blaming his predecessors.

kindly see tinubu saying that buhari left the country bankrupt.

if you saying "tinubu continued in his footsteps", that means tinubu is making nigeria bankrupt.

if after two years you are expecting God to grant Tinubu wisdom, and strength to lead Nigeria, are you saying that all this while, tinubu did not have the strength and wisdom to lead nigeria?

why then did you vote and support a man that did not have the strength and wisdom to govern nigeria?

He’s dead and gone. Life continues.

The sad truth is Nigeria has to get off oil and onto industries, taxes and so forth before we can be developd

You cannot get uk level hospital on just 3 billion dollars health budget.

socialmediaman:
Content creation was just 1 example. By the way, he launched a $200 million dollar Nollywood project that boosted film making. He supported local music producers and artists. You’re a Nigerian so you should know that GEJ government created and/or boosted at least 12 sectors of the economy to become the largest economy in Africa:

1. He established the NITDA and funded tech and software startups, launched Nigcomsat and boosted mobile broadband. This opened way for high speed internet and online business. That was when companies like Jumia, olx, konga and other e-commerce stores and apps etc started springing up in Nigeria

2. His Agric transformation led by Akinwumi Adesina performed tremendously well with their e-wallet fertilizer distribution system, which boosted cassava, rice and cotton production

Like I said there are at least 12 sectors he boosted including electricity, industry and manufacturing, Education, Aviation, Banking, Mining and Solid minerals,

I wasn’t a GEJ fan because I thought he didn’t do enough to stop corruption and that was what I expected from Buhari, but in retrospect, GEJ did so much better than what we have today. He had some of the best hands and believed in democracy which is why opposition was strong in the first place

Please you and the tinubu gang , don't make me laugh

I have been around and heard the same story from all of you supporters of government.

Yet at the end of each and every regime, we are oil dependent.

Please, I am tired of hearing the same old, same old. We need better

nairalanda1:

I understand, but to get us out of this economic quagmire, we need to reduce taxation and reduce government spending and reduce barriers of entry for investments in new businesses.

It is a tragedy and a bitter irony that a former president of our nation had to breathe his last in a foreign land, on a foreign hospital bed, surrounded not by the soil he once led, but by the sterile walls of a foreign clinic.

This is not just the death of a man. It is a stark indictment of a system that eats its own, abandons its own, and refuses to build for its own. It is the ultimate symbol of a failed elite pact one where the rulers never believed in the nation they ruled. For if they had, they would have built hospitals worthy of their own lives, not just to serve the poor, but to trust with their own breath.

What kind of leadership builds no shelter, then runs to another man’s roof when the storm comes? What kind of patriot governs a land for years, but leaves its health system in such disrepair that even in retirement and in illness he must flee to strangers for healing?

This is not just about one man. It is a generational disgrace. For decades, Nigerian leaders have looted with one hand and booked overseas checkups with the other. They built no hospitals, no research centers, no systems of excellence just emergency evacuation plans.

Now the bitter fruit of that hypocrisy is here. A man who once sat atop the most powerful seat in Africa died not in Abuja, not in Lagos, not in any of the hospitals that annually consume billions of naira in “health allocations” but in exile, even if politically unintended.

We mourn him, yes as a man, as a father, as a former leader. But we must also mourn the country that could not serve him. A country where the elite live like visitors, rule like mercenaries, and die like strangers.

Until leadership becomes stewardship, until leaders understand that their duty is to build a nation they themselves can live and die in we will keep exporting our sick and importing shame.

A president should not have to die abroad. And a nation should not have to bury its guilt in silence.
Rest in peace President Mohammadu Buhari GCFR…

GEJ moved too late on Boko Haram. If he did earlier ... and went full out.... many of the politicians and others would've been exposed ... imprisoned or killed. His strategy was best ... and will be the only effective one ...mercenaries with no affiliations or cultural links period...no respect for status or reputation. But then....GEJ is not tough enough .. and if he can't control his wife...that should tell us a lot. Forget about him ....Buhari and Tinubu...we can't progress even with a collation of the three.

socialmediaman:
Obi invested in education, healthcare, road networks and security, and invested in Agriculture as well. These investments are paying off even till today. I have the facts, you’re speaking with emotions.

which investment is paying off ,there still insecurity in Anambra till today, there are roads still being constructed every administration constructs road, there are still food problems in Anambra, I am not saying he didn't do well in Anambra but may not be good enough for Nigeria if he wants to continue with nairaland devaluation and total removal of subsidies like Tinubu, it is a senseless policy that only someone on drug can visit such on his people
I am looking for how to engage him and hear from him directly if after discussion he is still on that part, I will campaign against him

I expect someone over 50 years to know the difference between admitting a mistake and having regrets. I haven't said anything about having regrets. Where did that come from?

I don't reward poor leadership. Tell me what part of the world where failed leaders are rewarded with another term in office. No developed country in the world does that. Biden's failures is what brought Trump back to office, and that's what any developed country in the world does. If that becomes a mistake, they learn from it, doesn't mean they regret not rewarding poor leadership.

Tinubu must not be rewarded with another term in office. End of Discussion.
