The Nigerian Civil War ended on January 15, 1970. Naturally, Nige­rian soldiers occupied every part of Igbo land and used school premises as their make-shift barracks. Less mal­nourished young men were sus­pected to be defunct Biafran soldiers and some ladies suf­fered at the hands of the ram­paging soldiers.

My village, Umueleke, in Ehime Mbano of Imo State, was one of the communities occupied by the Nigerian soldiers with their natural provocative utterances. The village shares a common boundary with Mbaise in Imo State, where we assumed to be the operational headquarters of the Nigerian soldiers within our area during that period.

On a certain day in March 1970, one of our brothers that fled Lagos to Biafra with his new car, but could not use same during the war for fear of being confis­cated by Biafran Soldiers, per­fectly concealed same throughout the period of the Civil War. He brought out the car in March of the same year and drove same to our market square where the sol­diers were stationed.

Unfortunately, the soldiers harassed him out of the car and confiscated same, luckily for him there was a divine intervention as the crowd of onlookers saw a con­voy coming from the Mbaise axis of our community and suddenly a young and slim officer alighted from the military jeep. He en­quired why the crowd gathered and why the man was weeping; the man informed him of how the soldiers had beaten him up and confiscated his car.

The slim officer was a captain with his name-tag Buhari. The officer reminded the people that the war had ended and such thing should not happen. He quickly ordered for the release of the car and also reprimanded the soldiers and as a result, our community enjoyed the usual freedom.

When he became the Head of State, I discovered from his facial appearance that it was the same Buhari that showed human con­cern to our brother.

But since Buhari indicated in­terest in ruling the country once again, I have read many commen­taries on the pages of newspapers and electronic media that are very uncomplimentary about his life and I wonder whether it is the same Buhari I met in 1970 who was full of passion for people.

However, from my encounter with GMB then, I came to the conclusion that he is not only hu­mane, but a stickler for justice as demonstrated by his insistence that my brother’s car is returned immediately and which the sol­diers did. That he ordered that the car be returned and the soldiers involved in such act be detained for stepping beyond their bounds depicted Buhari as a compassion­ate man and a disciplinarian who abhors maltreating innocent civil­ians. After all, Buhari could have joined forces with his men to con­fiscate the car, but he did not be­cause he believed that the war had ended and people should be set free form bondage and discrimi­nation. But he said “mbanau ooo!”

Of course, the lessons learnt from the above are: that a leader must stand for justice at all times; that a leader must take a decision when necessary; that a leader must instil discipline in his lieu­tenants; that not all Northern sol­diers were wicked after the war and that GMB is misrepresented by many Nigerians who see him as evil and tribalistic.

Indeed, from the lessons, one can deduce that GMB is far bet­ter than our South-South brothers who confiscated our property im­mediately after the war and nick­named it ‘abondoned property’ particularly in Rivers and Bayel­sa. Many Igbos died while in pur­suit of their legitimate rights over their property. My family mem­bers were victims and I nearly lost my life.. Again, I think some Igbos are still at war with Buhari, 45 years after the war ended. So, if by divine act, Buhari wins, what will be the fate of Igbos.?

Even the worse PDP members know how humane is the General. The prblm is that truth is always bitter in the mouth of those that hate it. Anyways, come rain come sun, GMB all the way.

There is another story about how Buhari saved millions of Igbo people from being burnt alive in Awka, Anambra state.


Maybe this young captain is the commander in chief of Nigerian forces in Biafra
Or this is our usual diet of APC lies.

#IN BUHARI WE TRUST#

People that want change will vote for change.

Princecalm:
People that want change will vote for change.

only witchcraft people will use broom.

Buhari might be a good and disciplined officer but is he the best for the presidency now that he is an old man and is surrounded by hypocrites and corrupt people who wrecked Nigeria

tit:


only witchcraft people will use broom.

we will use the broom to chase witchcraft and that is to say all corrupt officers will be chased out.

Buhari IS A DESPOTIC TYRANT.

Keep laundering his battered image.

Rubbish. He is a tribalist, bigot & Islamic fundamentalists. Ekwueme prison. Shagari house arrests. Hundred years in prison, Unfair trials, post election violence etc.

So many stories affirming Buhari is a stickler for justice.This tells me there is great hope for our country when he is elected.

The truth about Nigeria is that we are so lawless that those who propagate d msg of justice are assumed wicked!
March 28th will either mark a new era in the history of Nigeria or we will languish in dis curse of a president. the greatest fear i have is that if Buhari wins, a particular mentality of people will go extinct- all those who support and think like Jonathan(for if u support him, u think like him).all of them will find dis country uninhabitable- their mentality will not fit into d system we desire- and if their extinction is the sacrifice we have to make,
GOD help us make it.

Everyone that has met Buhari will tell you how good the man is. It is only the corrupt politicians who do not want to stop looting Nigeria that are tarnishing Buhari's image.

Buahari might be a good leader, discipline and honest but d truth is dat he is old and shud be resting/ retiring... u must have been told in ur primary school that u are the leader of tomorrow. I ask u when wud u start leading when old men wud nt hand over or step down. Think abt it

This Nollywood script was hastily done.

[size=14pt]What happened to the part where Buhari gave you a bible and rosary telling you to repeat the "Lord's Prayer" after him?[/size]

I thought I would never say this sentence but then again this is a classic example of "Story for the Gods"

I was here
