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.
Humane must have another meaning in the broom-wielding coven of APC witches, not so huh

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.?

March 1970. Since 1970, the same BUHARI has not changed as a person? In any event, we should ask for the will of the Almighty God to be done. I am concerned about the future of my 5 years old daughter and countless others. What future do they have in a country like ours? God have mercy.

No matter how you pqckage "poopoo" (faeces), it will never be edible;
No matter how you wash a pig, it will still go back to the thrash.

No matter the hype, Buhari is a tribalist, extremist, coupist and destroyer of democracy, hypocrite and stunt-puller. His age, his pedigree, his disposition, he records disqualify him for that hallowed position.

Re: My Encounter With Captain Buhari by mulattoclaro(m): 11:00am On Mar 16, 2015
If wishes were horses beggars would ride. Buhari will only become a president in sambisa or his Daura cattle ranch. Are some Nigerians this naive and dumb? A man who threatened the sovereignty of this great country and said the streets will be soaked with the blood of monkeys and baboons if he's not returned to power. A man who said an attack on Boko Haram is an attack on the north. A man who said muslims should only vote for muslims. A man whose kinsmen are busy wreaking havoc in various communities across the middle belt and north central region. What change are you hoping to get from a man surrounded by tinubu and Amaechi? Two corrupt elements. Gej might not be the best but he's the only good alternative. Do you know what this man has in store for Nigeria? Too bad many of you are so blind you can't see. I will pick gej anytime and anyday. Buhari can never be the president of Nigeria. Mark this day that I said this. If. Apc had presented a better candidate I would have vote for Apc but Tinubu's presence at apc has spoilt everything. How can one fight corruption with tinubu and Amaechi as your buddies?
