In another news, I committed the last one hour to watching AIT and I almost thought they have merged with NTA. Gosh! Was this the station I used to stay glued watching Gbenga Aruleba taking the government of the day to shreds?

That Station has been officially barred from my TVs forever.

It's only those that can not engage in superior argument that resorted in insults. I started following nairaland when I was in high school but now I have graduated from the university, working, I have never insulted anybody on this platform before. And I wish to use this medium as an avenue to announce that we're all entitle to our own point of view. We see things entirely differently. I have my values and moral compass that make me respect everybody irrespective of who you are or where you are. If you support Buhari or APC it's non of my business. I'm a reasoning being, and I'm supporting GEJ for reasons best known to me and you ought to respect that. I just think it's only uncivilized and uncultured fellas that resorted in insult. If you're too emotional please don't come online. Edit your comments and rip off all foul or derogatory words before posting. You always clamour for political change but you've refused to change. This post is meant for all affiliates. Moderators!!!

with the level of corruption from the previous government, everyone irrespective of your status was put in check in buhari regime. same reason my family didn't own a house in Allen avenue Ikeja, in compliance with the one house per person degree. unlike this present regime full of corruption and impunity, the buhari regime put everyone in check irrespective of your social or economic status.

Lol and you think that's a good law?

What next, if Buhari was allowed to continue there would have been a decree for how much Nigerians can eat in a day!

Acidosis,the OP is a TANoid popular for his lies. He created the thread claiming a clash happened between Atiku's and Buhari's supporters and posted pictures of riots from 2011. He was banned for only 3 days or so. I don't understand this. He shouldn't be on NL at all.

@barcanista

I heard you say Fela should have been pardoned on moral grounds but Fela is wrong legally.

But my question is do you think such a law makes sense?
Yes the law make lots of sense in order to curb money laundering. Even as at now, there is existing law against money laundering.. which Alamesiagha was arrested for in the UK and Gov Sule Lamido Son was arrested in Muritala Int'l Airport. I am not against the law, it was a patriotic decree, nobody is against it, except of course the corrupt elite.

Lesser known was the traumatic experience of the director of an international communication agency, an affiliate of UNESCO.

Akin Fatoyinbo arrived at the airport in complete ignorance of the new currency decree. He was thrown in gaol in especially brutal condition, an experience from which he never fully recovered.

It took several months of high-level intervention before that innocent man was eventually freed.

These were not exceptional but mere sample cases from among hundreds of others, victims of a decree that was selectively applied, a decree that routinely penalized innocents and ruined the careers and businesses of many.

Lesser known was the traumatic experience of Adegboyega Aworinde who was beaten silly because he just wanted to buy fuel for N65 in 2012 cry. The young man is so afraid of anything in uniform now. You need to see him at his drivers test ar VIO office cry

Secondly I wil modify my post,if thats better!
Better. She must have been frustrated by Jonathan's failure(according to her own judgement). I don't think it is wrong though.

senseless as expected!!! in trying to instilling discipline and wipe away corruption from the land, sensible leaders take strong measures. a little Google of chairman Mao revolutional strides in the psyche and way of life's of the Chinese should give you an insight.

That is a very extreme version of money laundering

Money laundering laws are about limits

This law says you can't have any foreign currency. Correct me if am wrong please.

You really do not know anything. Stop the biased argument and try to research why Fela's judgement was swift.

Oh dear Lord, Barcanista sent this thread to its early grave with a very opened and unbiased response, if not, the usual never-do-well would have derailed this thread with the usual Buhari is this and that.

Buhari obeyed the law and shunned emotion even though it was a bit extreme..

This is the kind of a leader we want, at least in this dispensation, The court of appeal and supreme Court would be the only saving grace for those who break any law.
This got me laughing

How much is Buhari paying you to destroy Fela's image? Fela is now a bad guy because he questioned Buhari on the stolen $2.5bil at the ministry of which he was head. Haba!
How do you defend the same Buhari allowing 53 suitcases filled with dollars to pass through same airport. Its a pity Fela didn't have a son working as ADC to Buhari like the Emir of Gwandu.

I think this quote alone makes buhari the ideal candidate for nigeria. its like how a supposedly civilized country, america, which all you sell out negros love so much jailed wesley snipes for his own hard earned money without tempering justice with mercy even after wesley paid all his back taxes. the point being for nigeria to be a civilized nation like america we need people like buhari who apply the laws irrespective of who you are or how mundane your crime seems to most unlawful people. so if buhari is a sick man for jailing fela then america must be a sick country for jailing wesley snipes because they were both jailed for their own hard earned money. so the point here is to be a civilized nation, we need leaders who apply the laws. this is why all you negros run to america. because it is ' civilized ' and yet you dont want leaders who will civilize your own country






are sure u knw what ya talkng abt? what happ2ned in wesley snipes case is different.
