Sometimes when sane people discuss. Avoid the temptations of joining issues on discourses that are clearly beyond your level of understanding. You can not fight evil with evil. There are principles of leadership and philosophies of justices. No nation, No President and No Leader has the rights to go into another nation to kidnap his citizen, drug and crate him out of any nation. There are diplomatic channels to follow, and even if it takes years. Buhari personalized his selective justice; The same way he placed Shagari, the hausa President he illegally overthrew under house arrest, but sent Ekweme his Vice President to Kiri Maximum President for no just cause. This same Buhari stated that Abacha stole nothing, that it is all allegations. This same Buhari stated he will make Nigeria ungovernable. ...Men...you guys need new brains.

Buhari the first Nigerian Kidnapper.
That act was a monumental disgrace, Which caused a lot of diplomatic impasse between Nigeria and Britain.

Gbawe:
You are correct. Buhari indeed owes no one any apologies for what he did. A man who tried to snatch a brazen looter under the very nose of the Brits, to make him face justice in Nigeria, is a strong and fearless leader of unshakable will and conviction. The very sort Nigeria needs. If I remember correctly, the USA did not even keep the government of Pakistan in the information loop when they stormed a compound in the Country to take out Osama Bin Laden.

Africa remains backwards partly because we have always betrayed the extremely strong-willed pro-people leaders (like Lumumba, Nkrumah, Sankara et al) who want a better deal for ordinary Africans when others do not want that. For example, Buhari wanted Dikko back to face trial and serve as a deterrent to others yet the UK refused to cooperate with Nigeria. If anything, we should praise Buhari's strong sense of justice that made him decide Dikko must face justice at all cost. Personally, I am extremely glad Buhari won and he has my support 100%. It is only in the world of ideologically confused people that a man who stole the future of many should be allowed to escape justice. Are the corrupt not sentenced to death in China because of the damage corruption does?

Keep quiet. An insane and morally bankrupt person like you can never come here to preach morals. Need I remind you Nigeria was practising military dictatorship at that time and everything that happened were dictated by military statutes of then?

When it's convenient you accuse him of putting his Muslim brother in a cosy house arrest and Ekwueme in a dungeon, but is Umaru Dikko from Bayelsa and a Christian? Let me remind you criminals like you will be crated any day when the need arises. Oponu!

SeverusSnape:
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.

Nothing to add!

My only "regret" is that Tunde Idiagbon, the non-smiling General, is not alive to witness this "REBIRTH"!

May his 'gentle' soul rest in perfect Peace!

Lastpage!


BTW: Read his story here.
Makes interesting reading. http://naijarchives.com/tunde-idiagbon-the-gripping-story-of-nigerias-no-nonsense-general/

Idiagbon orchestrated most moves . . . his only downside according to IBB and his loyalists is, Tunde thinks he knows it all, he is not known to yielding/compromising/ and not diplomatic, like a train.

He is the real badoh!
IBB and co. had to wait till he left for Mecca before striking.

PointB:
The bolded is a lie. Actually Nigeria was practicing democracy, before Buhari truncated that beautiful democracy and decided to take Nigeria back to the ignominy of his own brand of crass dictatorship! He didn't overthrow a military dictator, he overthrew a civilian leadership!

Billyonaire:
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.

This marked the first international kidnapping in Nigeria sponsored by buhari now kidnapping is a norm and lucrative business .lf a head of state can organise a kidnap attempt what moral justification does he have to condemn others

They are other legal ways to do it.UK and Nigeria had excellent relationship then why didn't he ask for extradiction

mployer:
To imagine that a government Can arrange and kidnap someone

STOP thinking ahead of your faculty!

SAP was initiated and implemented under IBB's regime, after the overthrow of Buhari's regime..

Read it up if in doubt, Google can also help.

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.

Then you know nothing about diplomatic relations. The United State is the worst invader, followed by the British. Both countries combined are the worst thing to happen to world peace. Please study, go and do your research. The US orchestrated a coup that overthrew the government of Iran in the 50s so that they could install their stooge. This US stooge perpetrated a corrupt administration, his wives were bathed with milk water on a daily basis, whilst the people starved. There was a protest and the man ran away to the US. The people requested for him to be extradited so he could face the corrupt allegations against him, the US refused. Trust the people of Iran, the storm the US embassy, broke in and held about 47 US staff hostage.

Billyonaire:
Stop this useless conspiracy theory little prick. Your Buhari is a certified coup plotter. You will, Yes, you will see his abysmally dismal performance from May 29. Be prepared to defend your Daura nomad intoto. Irrespective of his fallibility.

[b]You are looking at what happened in 1984 with the eyes of 2014.

I sure witnessed that era as an adult, there was no disgrace talkless of it being monumental. We Nigerians were so proud of it then. We are talking of the days of Ronald Reagan and cowboy diplomacy not Obama. There was even no condemnation of the act by USA.

Contrary to what that Wikipedia source said, it was not Britain that expelled Nigeria High Commisioner, Nigeria recalled its Commisioner for consultation and issued a statement that it 'considered it inappropriate for the British High Commisioner to be in Nigeria while his counterpart is in Nigeria for consultation'. Effectively it was Nigeria that expelled the British ambassador not the other way round.

When Britain detained the Nigerian plane, Nigerian government recalled the British Airways plane that was already in the air enroute London and detained it in Lagos.

Soyinka issued a statement then lambasting the Nigerian government for allowing the kidnap to fail. He wondered why the kidnappers used the airport in central London when they could have used less busy airport in other parts of UK.

Geoffrey Howe - the British foreign minister was one of the first callers on IBB in 1985 immediately Buhari was overthrown and it was Britain that first announced the normalization of diplomatic relations.[/b]

The rant of a certified mor0n. Stop meandering, so you sound silly when you do that. Which human and godly laws approves for a human being to be put inside a crate ? Silly old slave.

ayindejimmy:
What was Buhari’s aim in kidnapping Diko? Do you prefer a President who will do anything to punish corrupt politicians or one who rewards corrupt politicians?

You deserve a national honor for this.

That's for those that remember about the Umaru Dikko scandal and those who have read about it. Dikko served under Shagari's administration.
