Have u confirmed dat he partook in d coup? Or has ever told anyone dat he partook in it?

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Buhari has indicated in this interview that because he didn't like to shed blood they DELIBERATELY planned the 1983 coup to be bloodless. Yet his apologists are trying to exculpate him from the illegal, corrupt and criminal action that changed the destiny of this country negatively
D least u could do iz possibly provide d link 2 ur source.

@ michaelsokoto and fineboi let's not get this twisted, I'm from Edo state (APC state) and I personally voted for the governor bcuz he was the best among d alternatives. Why the ranting about buhari who in his quest for power is contesting for the fourth consecutive time after losing 3?

Why can't apc allow younger men like Fashola to run for presidency or is buhari the the only qualified candidate they have? Research shown that Fashola is even more viable than ur buhari of a man.

If apc chooses to go ahead and field buhari then pdp are in for another flawless victory cuz whether u like it or not buhari will never rule this country again. He is just born to lose.

Fashola may not win against GEJ but it will be closely contested but wit buhari, another big defeat is eminent.

To wonder that they call themselves progressives baffles me, what is progressive with going back to give an old man the mantle to run when there are more younger and vibrant men in the party?

Buhari always losing!!!
Thank God u've notice d difference in change of governance in edo state, from pdp to apc.
Mitt roney in US, how old is he?
How many times did Lincoln contest? & how old was he when he won?
Hilary Clinton iz about 2 vie 4 presidency, are americans cryin over their age?
What's wrong in changin power @ d center so dat we can get better governance as it happened in edo state?
If Fashola iz ready 4 presidency, wouldn't he have indicated interest? Or do u expect APC 2 forcifully push him 2 it?
Do u knw if Buhari iz plannin 2 take him 4 deputy so dat he can easily easily win presidency when he (fashola) iz ready?


Last set of kwestions!
Fashola & Ribadu, who's more popular & younger?
How many votes did Ribadu pull in d last election?
Could Fashola has pulled such?
If APC fields Fashola 2day, how many votes can he possibly pull?
Wouldn't GEJ defeat Fashola by atleast 30 million votes?
Buhari with little resources @ his disposal & little time CPC registered was able to pull 12 million plus votes then, talkless of now dat everybody iz now publicly aware of Jona's incompetency & unpurposeful leadership style?

Unfortunately, I don't do insults. I thought I could engage you in a discussion but how wrong I was. How can you accuse me of altering the original post of a thread when I am not the OP? The OP has provided a link to the source of the original post yet you demand a link and are accusing me unnecessarily. To bad!

If you did not see in the original post where Buhari said that they deliberately avoided bloodshed during his coup, it indicates you are one of those who read only headlines and start commenting in threads.

PhockPhockMan:
Former Head of State, Muhammadu Buhari has stated that he was aware that Ibrahim Babangida was planning to overthrow him in 1985.

Buhari, a retired major general and presidential aspirant on the platform of All Progressives Congress (APC), told TheCable: “It is true that I learnt he was planning a coup against me. And I sat and discussed it with him in my office.

“He brought the news that he went to Kano and people complained that I pulled a pistol during a council meeting. I said Ibro ? I called him Ibro because I was just senior to him by a few months ? I said whoever wants to sit on this chair let him come and sit here. And he decided to do it.”

Reminded that the punishment for coup making was death and he could have put Babangida on trial, Buhari told TheCable: “Yes. Remember how many people he killed subsequently for trying to overthrow him? But when I came in, there was no bloodshed. I think a couple of policemen were killed and Bako also died in an ambush.

“But deliberately, nobody was killed
I was in the front, the real front in the Nigerian civil war. I had seen enough of death and I know what God means by human life. Any human being, God values their life. And anybody who hopes to meet God, he should be careful about killing.

“When there is law and due process of law took place, the question is clear. Like the cocaine convicts that were executed, the decision was taken in supreme military council.”

This has further confirmed my belief that Buhari is not man enough to handle Nigeria. Imagine a military man and Cin C for that matter allowing himself to be swept from office with ease, like a house boy. In fact, when I saw him shedding tears after losing election in 2011, I said to myself, "Buhari is a complete weakling and should never be entrusted with a position of leadership".
I like Buhari's moral stance but he lacks the courage, charisma and gut required of a president to move Nigeria forward at this moment.

You meant to say he doesnt have the gut and charisma to loot public funds and say "ordinary stealing, people call it corruption"??

I can see that we have a few Buhari faithfuls here.

Can we have our own thread to support him and leave this thread for Jonathan faithfuls. I want history to record it that at least a number of people supported him (RTD GMB) on Nairaland.

If he loses, at least we have all tried and maybe the future will justify our stand against mediocrity and if he wins, we can carry on our struggle and be the evidence of change. These people will still change their mouth and reasoning when the time comes.

Someone led by the spirit should create a thread for us and notify us. I have my reasons for not taking the lead but I will support in all capacity.

Nigeria will be great again.

Long live the Federal republic of Nigeria

Long live our future President. Jonathan or Buhari God give them wisdom to lead us but I choose to follow Buhari and throw my 1 / 160,000,000 for him.

For all I care, you people can talk all the bullshit you want to talk about Buhari..

Whatever u say about buhari would never make GEJ a better person to Buhari..

Chibok Girls are missen, let GEJ go into Sambisa to go get them.

GEJ's piority nao is 2015 elections, and Tormenting Tambuwal, removing his Security Details..

If Buhari were to be CinC.. I'm dead Sure Buhari would go right into the heart of Sambisa Forest himself to bring those girls back.

GEJ would not even visit Borno State not to talk of Sambisa.. For heavens sake, these Chibok Girls are peoples Daughters..

This chibok girls alone should make any right thinking government forget 2015.. What do you have, GEJ going to pick PDP forms when Girls are still missen as we speak..

The next best thing for GEJ or his boy IGP to do is remove Tanbuwals Security..

Playing Politics amidst security issues..

Internally Displaced people are on the rise as we speak..

You know what! I don't care about PDP, I don't care about APC, I don't care about GEJ and I don't care About Buhari..

All I care is for those Chibok girls to come back.

All I care is to see 24/7 uninterrupted power supply in my house.

Graduates get employed and life get easier generally..

I'm not intrested in Ngozi okonjo Iwela coming on TV and start telling me the economy is improving but people are starving..

I'm not intrested In hearing 9billion dollars with oritsejafor's name mentioned inside

I'm only interested in this money turning to better life for the citizenery..

This is why I think as it stands right now

Buhari is my only Messiah..

Those of you that called Buhari names simply because he meant Nigeria well, should come up with someone better than him (Buhari), let's compare & contrast who is fooling who Bunches of factory made animals, ritualist, illitrates, coconuts heads and so on. I challenged whoever thinks that this clueless,shoeless as well as shameless Gej is better, then furnish us with anything that, since his assumption in office as Nigeria's President a developmental project that Nigeria's benefitted from his administration, apart from dividing people based on religious line, ethnic as well as tribal diffrences. Those of you that thinks in such away should as a matter of urgent, use their God given brain and think twice.

Trust me sir! None of *them* will answer the questions detailed in ur post.. Bottomline, they r just really scared of GMB

My theory as to why this kind of threads exist, the op (a definitely paid e-warrior) sends out emails to others like him informing them of the topic and article as well as the time it will be posted on nairaland. He urges them to make sure to come online and bombard the thread with comments as soon as it is up. Traffic to the thread gets noticed by a moderator and topic hits frontpage! Nigerians know better than to be worried that GEJ is getting the sympathy of the majority.

Trust me sir, at least 80% of nigerians cant wait for feb 2015 to come soon enough and put an end to this diseased administration! Even the ones commenting on here are jst involved for their pay checks! #ManMustChop.

The issue is that GEJ is equally unworthy of this country leadership. The yearning of Nigerians now, is a dynamic, purposeful, sensible, courageous, creative and sympathetic leader. These qualities, am afread are completely lacking in GEJ.

We just have to risk a change. It must not be GEJ again.

why Buhari can never have my vote...read & digest


I just read that article. I'm aware of few of the points. One thing is clear. I will not and cannot vote Buhari because he is a compost who never wanted democracy, secondly, he is a religious bigot. Take it to the moon, his position regards islam and spreading of sharia across NIGERIA has not changed.

Really, he portends a lot of danger to Nigerians, and the corporate existence of this nation call NIGERIA. Mark my word, if Buhari wins this election, that will be the beginning of the end of the evil entity called NIGERIA. We cannot stand the spread of sharia or killing of innocent people from order regions of the country by he and his co-religious travelers.
This man talks anyhow and carelessly too, I do think he needs serious psychiatric evaluation because he talks like someone who brain has been altered by some substance abuse in the past.

I am not surprised by the crop of his followers and sympathizers, they are just bunch of almajaris and core northern Islamist who things that power belongs to the north, and as for those in the south west, they should read history very well, this man called Buhari does not care about other regions, if you are not a northerner and an Islamist, nothing for you.

Finally, I prescribe that on no accession should any retired military officer contest election in Nigeria because they are all enemies of democracy and should not be allowed to smell it. Come 2015, Buhari shall failed, and he will cry for losing like a dog.

Really, this is not the kind of man of Intergrity we need, we can do better than this. Even if we want Jonathan to go, Buhari is not fit enough to take the reigns of power, he will kill this country called NIGERIA.

Please Pray for NIGERIA this coming 2015, we may cease to exist as a nation called NIGERIA. The hand writing is clear and glaring too. I see a do or die political approach being fueled by the opposition. It's not healthy for our corporate existence.

Insanity is when you try to use the same logic that created a problem to solve the same problem.

Insanity is also when you do the same thing over and over and expect a different result.

As many as will cast ur vote for the incumbent next year just know that you're also the problem.
