Buhari himself is a Devil ke.
Abi is he not?
Obinoscopy:
So because Jonathan is romancing with the devil then Buhari should be allowed to romance with the devil as well?

This is not about a burial or a 10 year memorial, which this was specifically.

It is about the so called man of integrity working for almost a decade with this "saint" Abacha shocked

Yeye dey boom!!!
Burial or Memorial, it all about the dead. Even Adolf Hitler was called a good man and a relentless hero despite being a world reknowned criminal. Afghanistan's alway see see Osama bin laden as their hero and legend. It is Hausa mentality, they believe in themselves. Jonathan gave the same Abacha national award and gave his son who also stole a presidential pardon

Buhari's change epitomizes a backward change.


Goodluck to all APC goons routing for a backward change.

I'd rather #GoForward!

BEFORE I CAN SUPPORT BUHARI, !
Before I can consider joining the BB Train. Below
are my concerns:
I thought it was the rot of the SHAGARI
Government, then followed by the decay of the
Military ERA and climaxing with the STENCH of the
ABACHA Government (of which GENERAL BUHARI
WAS PART AND PARCEL) that 'brought Nigeria to a
dangerous and sorry state, a state that life has
become short and brutal', and from which it has
still not recovered since then. PLEASE CHECK
YOUR HISTORY AND YOUR FACTS!
The often MOUTHED BUHARI ERA and REGIME (of
NEARLY 30 YEARS AGO) used as a reference point
by his 'admirers' and apologists, was marked by
BRUTE FORCE, LACK OF VISION, LACK OF
POLITICAL IDEOLOGY AND AGENDA AND ANY
ECONOMIC POLICY, BUT FOUNDED ON GRA-GRA.
In fact, the ONLY ECONOMIC policy that I can still
remember and associate his regime with was the
era of ESSENTIAL COMMODITY (ESSENCO), where
people were being BULLIED, WHIPPED AND
FORCED TO SELL THEIR OWN wares and goods
(NOT GOVERNMENT OWNED) BY FORCE.
BUHARI SHUT DOWN NEWSPAPER HOUSES AND
HARASSED JOURNALISTS AND THREW THEM IN
GULLAGS OR SENT THEM TO GALLOWS.
BUHARI'S GALLOWS OR GULAGS, UNDER THE SSS
(OR NSO) WERE NOT FIT FOR HUMANS. And this
contributed largely to the DEATH of some of those
that were SELECTIVELY and UNLAWFULLY
DETAINED there. PLAIN MURDER.
BUHARI passed OBNOXIOUS LAWS, including
RETROSPECTIVE LAWS and MURDERED
INDIVIDUALS, SIMPLY FOR DRUG TRAFFICKING.
BUHARI ABUSED THE DIGNITY OF AN INDIVIDUAL
and CRATED HIM like a CHICKEN, while
attempting to UNLAWFULLY EXPORT HIM OUT OF
THE UK, IN GROSS ABUSE OF THE PERSON'S
DIGNITY, AND IN CONTRAVENTION OF
INTERNATIONAL LAWS.
BUHARI WATCHED ABIOLA JAILED AND DIE IN
JAIL in the HANDS of ABACHA, while he watched
and carried on BUSINESS AS USUAL SERVING AND
WORKING FOR THE SAME ABACHA'S
GOVERNMENT.
BUHARI WATCHED ON AND WATCHED JUNE 12
DIE IN THE HANDS OF ABACHA.
BUHARI also WATCHED KEN SAROWIWA
MURDERED IN COLD BLOOD BY THE SAME
ABACHA GOVERNMENT, while HE (BUHARI)
WATCHED ON and carried on BUSINESS AS USUAL.
AS ALWAYS, AND CONVENIENTLY, BUHARI SAW
NO EVIL AND HEARD NO EVIL ABOUT THOSE
ATROCITIES.
HE SAW NO EVIL AND HEARD NO EVIL EVEN
WHEN LATE PRESIDENT YARADUA LEFT NIGERIA
IN AUTO PILOT STATE AND 'RULED' FROM THE
'GRAVE' (a la ANDOAKAH)
NEED I SAY MORE? NEED I CONTINUE AND
REMIND YOU WHY BUHARI IS NOT FIT OR
QUALIFIED TO BE ANYWHERE ELSE THAN AT THE
HAGUE AND ANSWERING TO HIS CRIMES AGAINST
HUMANITY?---karlmax2

Abacha stoled nothing, compared to the scientific criminals we have today under GEJ govt. Abacha was a saint, I wish the dead could defend themselves in the grave. GEJ govt has wrecked Nigeria in every area.

GMB was crystal clear that you can't accuse someone of being corrupt without going to court or a court of competent jurisdiction declare him so.

@OP don't you find it ironic and hypocritical that you put up a personal opinion of GMB and wish to taint his prestige but ignorantly forget that your most loved and corruption personified president directed the EFCC to drop all charges against mohammed abacha despite the US freezing 500m$ assets linked to him as proceeds of corruption but your messiah from otueke gave up assets of over 40billion naira belonging to NIGERIA as long as mohammed Abacha use the stolen money to deliver the vote of kano state for the PDP in 2015.

Amongst the two, one who only express a proper judicial statement that someone can only be declared as corrupt if a court so declares and your celebrated HERO who directed that a probe and court case be discontinued for his own political gains.

GMB denied mohammed abacha the CPC flag in Kano state in 2011 because of the huge corruption and money laundering charges against him but your GEJ let him off the hook of justice. Don't you think GEJ should face justice for that clear economic sabotage of the country.

GeJ has turn this country to a joke

Kindly show just one quote from a "man of integrity" and the caliber of a former Head of state who should normally be an elder statesman like Buhari calling Adolf Hitler a good man shocked

When compared to the stealing going on under Jonathan, it is true that Abacha never stole. Seriously, who cares about what Buhari said in 2008 when some don't care about what Jonathan is doing in 2014.

Hmmmmm I guess Buhari's judgement depends on his mood at any given time that is why he executed Barthlomew Owoh whose offence was not punishable by death at the time Buhari snuffed life out of him! If Abacha did not steal any money, then which Abacha loot did the US return to Nigeria? I will NEVER defend anybody unless God says that person is clean. Buhari's speech and events since then clearly shows that he defended or protected Abacha wrongly. If he admits his error then he is a clean man otherwise, he is just as bad as the man he defended or protected! Truth, just like God, lives forever!

So they dig this up becos of buhari

By Ibrahim Shuaibu
Kano — The late military Head of State, Gen. Sani Abacha, did not loot the national treasury contrary to the general impression, two military former heads of state have said.
Gen. Muhammadu Buhari, who ruled Nigeria between 1983 and 1985, and his successor, Gen. Ibrahim Babangida, gave Abacha the clean bill in Kano yesterday after the rememberance prayers marking 10 years of the death of Abacha, who ruled between 1993 and 1998.
Abacha was accused of stealing nearly £5 billion while in office, out of which over $1 billion has reportedly been recovered from various sources around the world.
But Babangida, who described Abacha as a "courageous, loyal and honest military head of state who stood for the unity and development of the country during his years in government", has dismissed the allegations.
He said the looting allegations against Abacha were unfounded and baseless, stressing that "it is not true that he looted public treasury. I knew who Abacha was because I was close to him".
Babangida said: "Abacha was a courageous person who stood firmly in handling the affairs of the country during his regime."
He added that the regime of Abacha brought positive changes in the country which should have been emulated.
He said 10 years after the death of Abacha, his contributions to the nation's economy remain indelible.
"There is no doubt, during his administration as head of state, Abacha contributed his best to the nation's economy which we are still enjoying," he said.
Babangida's new position however contrasts with what he told Newswatch magazine in July 2000.
He had said: "The revelations [on Abacha's loot] surprised me. I am surprised, because I didn't know."
He had also explained that Abacha's death brought "relative stability", adding that "it gives us, oh well, let's see, there is hope after all".
Babangida, in that interview, also blamed the society for allowing Abacha to grow into the dictator he became.
"I feel bad that society failed to realise that they have a duty to protect whatever values they hold dear to their hearts as far as this country is concerned. At any rate, there are people I like and do respect those who stood against the regime, who are not military officers but civilians who are able to speak out. They didn't mince words and if their views had been heard, he wouldn't have [done enough harm]," he had said in response to a question.
Buhari, in his own comments yesterday, described the allegations of looting against Abacha as "baseless", because according to him, "ten years after Abacha, those allegations remain unproven because of lack of facts".
While also commenting, former Head of State, General Abdulsalami Abubakar, who took over when Abacha died on June 8, 1998, commended his predecessor for initiating Vision 2010, saying that the economic vision of the present administration termed Vision 2020 is a replica of Abacha's 2010 initiative.
Abubakar also tasked Nigerian politicians to concentrate on how best to contribute to national development instead wasting time and money investigating their predecessors, adding that probing past administrations "does not yield anything positive to the nation and should be discouraged".
Babangida also spoke on the probe of his government by the immediate past administration, saying: "We are still waiting for the outcome of the probe."
The three former leaders sat close to one another during the special prayer session which started exactly 10am and lasted for over one hour at an open compound belonging to the family of the former head of state.
The prayer session was attended by former Abacha's aides, Emirs of Hadejia, Gumel, Jema'a and Chief Fredrick Fasehun of Odua Peoples Congress

See what propaganda life can cause. So Gani Fawehinmi rose up to criticize GEJ for giving a centenary award to a former dictator who ranks alongside Buhari, IBB, etc. Lie Mohammed the second!!!
