So, Buhari hired Israeli mercenary to kidnap(1) Drug(2) Crate(3) Umaru Dikko and was about to illegally cargo(4) him out of a Sovereign country(5) in contravention of International Laws. And you applaud such action ? But you condemned the killing of Nigerians on drug charges in Indonesia ? Sometimes you people should feel shame in utterances. Buhari was a military coup plotter and had no respect of any democratic nation. He was disgraced out of office by IBB when the Economy failed. Try and read the available history of the reason IBB overthrew the inexperienced uneducated cattle rearer.

No vex, Na the animal pig I mean.

Yeah, an islamist will always support his fellow Islamist. Not surprised, No need arguing with you.

Do you expect me to be sorry about being a Muslim or "an Islamist" as you call it?

Btw, your Asari Dokubo is an Alhaji and a Muslim!

Your headache!

tanoids,

feel free to rave and vent all you want.

granted, dikko should have be repatriated to the country to face charges for corruption, but the manner in which it was done was wrong.

as usual, clear case of giving a dog a bad name to hang it.

I hope when GEJ runs for a sensitive position in future, you tanoids would remind him of how corrupt he was when he was president.

if you need honey in your lives to rid the bitterness, feel free to ask.

What are you guys talking about! America sent special forces to Pakistan to kill Osama Bin Laden and everybody celebrated what America did. No nation of the world condemned American government. Recently, America sent special forces to Syria to kill ISIS top leader, no nation of the world complained about it. Buhari only wanted to bring home Diko to face trial and you guys were ranting rubbish. Buhari did the right thing, and I pray he does more than that to cleanse our corrupt system.

Shut your dirty mouth!... How can you compare Osama and Dikko?... Did Dikko kill anyone?... Didn't you know bin laden was the world's most wanted man as of the time?
This comparison of yours is so warped.

mployer:
You are wrong bro.

You were not in that crate because your were not on GMB hit list.

History May repeat itself and You may not be Lucky this time.

Omotolu is right. I was in school then.

Umaru Dikko was the mosted hated man from the second republic.

If he was seen on the street back then, he would have been lynched.

People's tolerance of corruption was much lower than it is today.

It was Babangida's regime that corruption was highly rewarded and you could spend ill gotten filth brazenly.

You are obviously too young to know. Economy failed, Yes. Traders were forced at gun point to sell goods at price lower than the cost prices and if anyone disobeyed, they were kicked, beaten and thrown in jail. Read about Structural Adjustment Programme inherited and executed by Buhari.

Passingsh.it, I'm not from the same place with Dokubo, So he's not my Asari. Even at that, He's not a religious extremist like the rest of you.

So Buhari na kidnapper b4?

And did you need to abuse me for my opinion? Did you need to say 'Shut your dirty mouth'? Did I abuse you in my comment? I am not surprised though because this is typical of most Nigerians.

ShowYourCertificate:
This is just a tip of the iceberg of Buhari's reign of terror back then in the 80s. Nigerians are so quick to forget. Well, BabaOneChance will remind them soon enough.

How I wish he can put some of the current criminal politicians in such crates. Your hero criminals.

SAP was IBB's initiative....not Buhari.

(Although Buhari ran an austerity government).

And the reasons why we fell into the austerity trap...and then SAP had everything to do with our over-dependence on oil.

Where crude oil (and gas) is the booming export sector, the non-oil export sector may be crowded out by the oil sector and the non-tradable goods sector of the economy. This can happen when the oil revenue windfall increases domestic demand for non-tradable goods and pushes up domestic prices leading to an appreciation of the real exchange rate which in turn reduces the competitiveness of the non-oil export sector. This will in turn lead to a reduction in non-oil exports in both quantum and value terms. The oil windfall may also lead to movement of the factors of production in the economy. For instance, capital and labor (and land) may shift from the non-oil export sector to the oil sector (in order to maintain or increase reserves and production) and the non-tradable goods sector (to take advantage of the growing domestic demand). This explains why the increase in oil prices and the subsequent oil revenue windfall in many oil-exporting countries have tended to depress their non-oil export sector while at the same time generating a boom in both the oil and the non-tradable goods sectors. With capital and labor shifting from the non-oil export sector to the oil-sector and non-traded goods sector, firms in the non-oil export sector are forced to either close down or reduce their scale of operation. The boom in the oil and non-traded goods sector increases the demand for imported goods. This may not be a problem in the short-term so long as the country has enough foreign exchange to pay for the imports. The depression in the non-oil export sector and the boom in the other two sectors have medium to long term implications for the economy because the oil windfall will not be permanent given the volatility, unpredictability and exhaustibility of crude oil. For instance, if there is a decline in oil prices and oil revenue, the lagging and collapsing non-oil export sector will not be able to compensate for the drop in oil revenue while domestic demand for the non-traded goods and imports remain sticky. Consequently, the country will be forced to borrow from the international financial market to compensate for the decline in oil revenue. Over time, external debts will increase and so will the debt service obligations. Even when oil prices go up later and there is another round of oil windfall, it is difficult to correct the earlier damage or distortions created by the initial or previous oil windfall. In some cases, the oil exporting country may be forced to adopt some form of structural adjustment program (SAP) to correct such distortions or imbalances. Some of these SAPs are painful and may increase the prevalence, depth and severity of poverty

I now understand the magnitude of the problem of corruption naija is facing.Dikko stole almost 6billion dollars,money for hospitals,houses,educatioin,vaccinations,environmental repairs,food etc and he didn't kill anybody?well done!

I do not applaud the action, on the other hand, while would the British government provide diplomatic protection to a thief? Are they not the same people criticizing us of being corrupt and unable to handle our business. To me, I think it is double-standard. The only issue I observed is the embarrassment that a secret plot to kidnap a British investor was being planned and carried out on British soil without MI6 knowing about it. The US entered into Pakistan and killed Osama, everyone congratulated the US.

A point of correction, IBB was part of Buhari's administration. He was even the chief coup plotter against Shagari's administration. IBB's decided to overthrown Buhari because he had shady deals and was afraid that Buhari would spot them and arrest him. There was even an investigation currently on-going at that time, and that investigation would have implication IBB.

Finally, I believe you follow the news and would have read that the Army has finally discovered the credentials of Buhari. I must also add this and it is not out of disrespect, but of sincere truth - Buhari is more educated than you. I say this because I know the Army and because of my affiliation with the Army. The Nigerian Army, not now that it has been politicized and bastardized, is a very discipline institution that do not joke with education and training. Its officers are trained regularly to world standard. The records are out there in the open. So it was a huge embarrassment to Buhari and even to the Nigerian Army when they took this credential issues seriously.

The illiterate way of fighting corruption.

and I guess d literate way is to grant them pardon and let them run senate?
See how useless ur whole kindred is! Chai

I know a captain that is involved in the act that time. I think they are about five of them who carried out the plan.

PassingShot:
Do not sound apologetic. Buhari did what he needed to do to bring Dikko to justice.

The world over, countries engage in covert operations to bring enemies of state to justice.

USA has violated many countries' sovereignty to bring state's enemies to justice.

Same with UK, Israel and Russia. It is done world over and GMB was not sorry for it then, is not sorry for it now, and cannot be sorry for it in the future.

You are right. That was why I said it is double standard. You cannot keep a thief and tell us to clean our act. Dikko should have been extradited immediately he was requested for rather than provide diplomatic protection. Can you imagine that he was placed under a witness protection programme. The British decided to severe relationship and Nigeria responded accordingly.

UK was happy to keep him since his loots will remain in their economy. Hypocrites is their name!

Billyonaire:
How ever you look at it, Kidnapping by even a Pope for the purpose of sanctification is wrong.

If Buhari was not a worldly condemned Dictator, all he needed to do was to legally ask the UK Government to extradite Umaru Dikko and they would have diplomatically obliged. But to stage a 'kidnap', and go as far as 'drug' and then 'crate' a human being is crime against human.

2015 is NOT 1984. And Buhari will soon enough realize that his experience with 150 cows in Daura isnt what is required to run a complex democratic nation. I think Buhari should resign on May 30th after swearing-in on May 29th. Because his dream of being a President has been achieved. We know there is nothing better he can do. He has no certificates.

Elections are over. Wake up from your dreams before they become nightmares.

What has Jonathan's literate way of fighting corruption yielded?

That was the negotiation he had with the British. Dikko's corrupt charges were like Jonathan's lootings. Shagari had no control over his government.

Give us more gist na, wetin make e dey for crate!?

Thanks for the update, Oga Lalastic!

::- Umaru Dikko looted treasury and ran away as a fugitive. Baba, please acquire more crates for current thieves and looters.Probe all shady deals and transactions including my own.

Why should anyone take TANoids who say PMB is an illiterate serious? We're talking of a set of people whose PhD holder master cannot string coherent sentences befitting of that degree together. What you hear instead is "how much did Nwobodo stole that buhari jailed him?",
Yam and goat analogy, stealing is not corruption, etc.

When sane people listen to Buhari talk during interviews and when he delivers speeches, we'd realize that those who call him illiterate are actually insane.

A good way to illustrate the matter. At that time, the Nigerian Military scouts the best schools in the country to entice brilliant young men to join them. The Civil Service also followed suit. That were the golden years of Nigeria, not now when illegality has become the norm. Criminals are heading the affairs of this country and being awarded contracts. Exam malpractice rules our educational system. Society misfits brag about their exploits instead of sharing cages with birds.
