publisher:Since you wanted to learn, there is nothing like Buhari's coup in 1984, it was Babangida, Abacha, Vatsa, Dogonyaro , David Mark, Umar, Idiagbon, Ayuba, Adisa, Rasaki and Onoja's coup of 1984. You can rightly say, Buhari led military government of 1984. Two different scenarios. What was the rationale behind this? If Shagari's governement was corrupt (according to Buhari) why was the principal and head of government (Shagari) not tried, convicted and thrown in jail?Yes, it was a corrupt government led by Shagari just like Balewa government before but on individual basis there was no evidence that both Shagari and Balewa enriched themselves or were corrupt, just clueless and incompetent and those are not crime. Ekwueme was corrupt while in office, all the evidence was there, that is why he was jailed by a military tribunal not by Buhari. The sentence was ratified by the ruling council SMC of which the likes David Mark and Ike Nwachukwu etc were members like Buhari. The likes of Umoru Dikko, suffered more than Ekwueme and he is a northerner. Barkin Zuwo almost died in jail, Awwal Ibrahim died there and they are northerners. You people should get the simple truth and not bending fact any 30+ years old should know like nursery alphabet. |

Aksonman:If the charges were trumpeted, then you should be looking at the attorney general at the time, his name is Clement Akpamgbo. He is an old Anambra man. If know nothing about Nigeria, why bother commenting on it? |

EZIACHI aka BARCANISTA pls get out of this thread and stop posting trash. Buhari's reputation is rotten and the stench will follow him to his grave. |

Eziachi:-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Oga, why not point out the lie rather than make sweeping statement? Was Ekwueme ever found guilty? Was it right to detain an innocent man for 20 months without trial? If there was any evidence against Ekwueme why wasn't he charged to court? The onus is on you to point out the lie. And don't bring church and God into this. If you have any alibi for your messiah why not come up with it? |

Eziachi:--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1984 coup was Buhari's coup. You can't spin that. In his last interview with The Cable, the criminal coupist gave himself away when he said that they deliberately did not kill during that illegal move. So, all this Buhari was invited does not wash. He led the coup! |

Sibabasibaba1:Am not an expert in English language but take a look at word he used "THEM"? Does them denotes a conflict with an individual or an institution? And who is them? Buhari or the tribunal/SMC? One undeniable aspect of every junta government is the absent of habeas corpus principles, but that is not down one person. If anything, it was down to Akpamgbo and Rafinfadi, both were the two main people fingered by the amnesty international at the time. Many of you are young and bright but thinks like cave men. Use you brain and unlimited vast instruments of knowledge around you. Not wallowing in pure ignorance. Gosh! |

Thank you Eziachi for exposing these lies |

Sibabasibaba1:I Like people that debate issues with facts and not emotion of how they feel. Counter my argument with alternative facts and not generalized fiction laden with hateful raw emotion. It's waste of time trying to beat a dead horse. I have no time for self imposed mediocrity. Knowledge is like a gem. You have to dig deeper to find it. That's why you never see diamond lying around on streets and that's why gems are not for the poor. If you want to know about Nigeria, you can, but leave your tribal sentiment behind and you will be amazed at what you will discover. This is why I believe that the best future for us Igbos is independent Biafra and not Nigeria. How can any nation advanced with such hateful mentality against one another? Nigeria can never work. |

Eziachi:----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I don't do insults. At your age, you should know how to make your point without throwing insults. You have yet to answer these questions: Was Ekwueme tried after 20 months? Was Ekwueme ever found guilty? Your habeas corpus alibi is neither here nor here. It doesn't explain why Ekwueme who was about the first politician to be arrested by Buhari's men was not tried for 20 months and others arrested later were tried and sentenced. Doesn't the fact that a tribunal headed by an eminent jurist exonerated Ekwueme suggest that Buhari was totally wrong in keeping an innocent man in detention. If I were you guys, I will continue to highlight the coupist's best attribute-which is that is is not materialistic- but will not defend the indefensible. Remember, not being materialistic does not equate not being corrupt, for Buhari is CURRUPT. Coup plotting is a crime, an illegal action and as such is corruption. Who else apart from Buhari/Idiagbon saw the phantom $56,000 in Ekwueme's house? |

Eziachi:------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The number one fact is that Buhari was the head of the coupists who seized power illegally in 1983. I hope you know what it means to be involved in a coup. Let me ask you, if the coup had failed after Buhari read his speech, would he have gone scot-free? Which other fact do you need? In fact, you are the one who should be debating with facts. I raised my points on an issue and you said they were "101%" lies even when you did not have any shred of fact to back your claim. Again, you are the one debating with emotion. It is clear in your posts. That is why you have been throwing insults instead of stating your facts. |

Another failed thread.... Eziachi... well done |
| Re: Why Did Buhari Jail VP Ekuweme But Place President Shagari Under House Arrest? by Eziachi: 2:59pm On Nov 11, 2014 |
Sibabasibaba1:Have you read things I have posted, those are the points and not generalized statement. He is still over the top wrong. Was Ekwueme ever found guilty?Yes he was. Was it right to detain an innocent man for 20 months without trial?No It's wrong to detain anyone without trial but guess what it a military junta environmental. Even America detained people in Guantanamo without trial despite being the beacon of democracy. If there was any evidence against Ekwueme why wasn't he charged to court? I have tens of evidence, just start with his 3 five stars modotel hotels chain and his brewery which he built with your money when he was in power. In fact the one in Owerri was built on public land, that supposed to be a part of the central bank Owerri.Check the meaning of Onus again. You brought church and God into it because your sentiment about Buhari lies on religion and tribal lineage. And Buhari is not my messiah, far from it. But I don't need to tell lies about another person just because like their politics or their person. |

Pa Eziachi,please keep lecturing the ignorant dolts. Another persons I will like you to lecture is Ngwakwe and PointB. Those two are totally lost! |
| Re: Why Did Buhari Jail VP Ekuweme But Place President Shagari Under House Arrest? by Eziachi: 3:28pm On Nov 11, 2014 |
Sibabasibaba1:Am sorry if you felt that I insulted you. Mine and yours understanding of the word THEM is different. I said that them denote an institution and not a person. If you find that as insult, them accept my apologies. If know any junta government that doesn't detain people without trial, please let me know. So habeas corpus is fact not an alibi. If Buhari was in power for 6 months and Ekwueme was held for 20 before, am not a maths expert but how does that make sense to you? The argument of who was detained is quite nonsensical to me. What difference does it make if he was picked first or last? I kept asking you guys what tribe or religious was Umoru Dikko or Akinloye who suffered more than Ekwueme. Ambrose Ali almost died from his detention, Jakande was detained. Why is Ekwueme detention different. I don't care how quickly or how long he was detained, he was corrupt while holding public office. I don't care where he comes from or where he prays. |

Eziachi:------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I am sorry, I don't do tribalism. I hate Buhari's hypocrisy but in all my posts, I have never accused him of tribal or religious bigotry. I will be happy if you point out where I did that. Please, Buhari was in power from Dec 31 1983 to August 1985. That is not six months. Read my posts, I focused on Ekwueme and not Jakande, Dikko, et al. Perhaps, you mistook me for another person. Ekwueme was corrupt while holding public office? Please you said you deal with facts. Point me to the court or tribunal that found Ekwueme guilty while holding public office--and please don't point me to Buhari's allegation against Ekwueme because allegation does not equate guilt. Bring the link or shut up on this for ever. |
| Re: Why Did Buhari Jail VP Ekuweme But Place President Shagari Under House Arrest? by Sibabasibaba1: 4:00pm On Nov 11, 2014 |
Eziachi:------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ You said what I posted was a lie. And I said if I posted lies the Burden (onus) was on you to point out the lies. You have yet to. Please stop accusing me wrongly. I never brought any religious or tribal sentiments into my posts. Perhaps you need glasses to read my posts. The mere fact that you called Buhari's government a military junta means that you accept his government was an aberration, an illegality. So, everything he did was illegal. Can you tell me those America detained at Guantanamo? So, Ekwueme is now a terrorist. you don't need to support illegality because you want to defend a criminal coupist. Until you point me to the link where a court or tribunal found Ekwueme guilty of any crime, I will not respond to you. One last thing: Always read a post well so as not to accuse one of what one never said. |

Sibabasibaba1:according to the mugu ibb is corrupt we agree about that .but ibb was a member of buhari's supreme military council. Buhari appointed a corrupt ibb as part of his government. Buhari is a criminal and a fraud he was ruling nigeria with corrupt characters like ibb and abacha. During oputa panel ibb that Nigerians know as corrupt ran to court to stop him from appearing on the panel, Buhari who this maga is trying to portray as an upright man ran to court just like the way corrupt ibb did . The question I now ask the sai Buhari mugus are If Buhari was not as corrupt as ibb why did he take the same step the evil genius took to avoid been asked the role they played in running this country aground and all those people he murdered...plus the 2.5b dollar traced to his account. Buhari and his crew ibb and abacha institutionalised corruption |

Eziachi:it wasn't his coup then why did he run to court when he was asked to come and explain his role in the coup if he was innocent as you claim would have come to the oputa panel to clears his name. Instead like the coward That he is he ran to court to avoid facing the nigerian people to explain his so called innocent role both as a junta and as Ptf chairman in another corrupt abacha junta government? |
