Buhari only came through APC and southwest to destroying Nigeria, breaking the law of good governance.

An old man ought to have been taking to old people home, APC and southwest conniving corrupt with 1 south south and 2 southeast politicians these same politicians who governed their states with impunities.

Shame on Nigeria government and Nigerian politicians. May they begin to die one after another in before 2019 with their corrupt second term plans.

This guy was actually the prime minister during Buhari's 1985 tenure,Buhari was more like the president. Buhari used Tunde Idiagbon's credibility as an element for campaigning and that elevated him and made people have that believe that he's a disciplinarian and man of integrity and then people voted him in

iamrealdeji:
RIP to the real man of integrity. After Idiagbon's retirement,his son was given appointment during Abacha's era and the son brought in trucks he claimed the federal government wasn't using again but Idiagbon ordered him to return the vehicles immediately to where he packed them from or he would disown him but Buhari's family is living lavish at the expense of tax payers,then who is the real man of integrity?

Oblang:
So it was gej and PDP that was doing good governance?

iamrealdeji:
Your Ipob brain should tell you I meant Buhari wasn't the de facto Head of states but more like a President,Idiagbon was more like the Prime Minister,and in 2015,Buhari used Tunde Idiagbon's credibility for campaign,he made it seem to people like he had Tunde Idiagbon's type of principle

EnkayDezign4:
Idiagbon was Chief of general staff (Vice president)

Make I no deceive you, I find it very hard to believe. The religious ridge between Yoruba Muslims and Christians is expanding everyday, and I think this is due to that fact that many Muslims have woken up from their sleep. It wasn't like many years ago when many Muslims went to churches and the likes, our eyes are open now. Some months back, there was a Yoruba Christian I debated here that clearly admitted, he'll choose an ipob Christian over his fellow Yoruba Muslim. The truth is we're no longer gullible!

The guy called Muslims all sort of name and even termed me a "bastard", so whenever I see them saying we're one. I highly doubt it, If you've noticed, you'll notice that many of the bigotic CAN statements come from Yoruba Christians and don't get me wrong, I have Christians in my family. I love them and won't allow anything bad happen to them. But the truth needs to be told, it wasn't like yesterday!

FriendNG:
Unequivocally speaking, "Altcraz" or similar name is the guy you're talking about.

He started by attacking Ipob, then Muslim, when Yoruba come 4 his head, he said he mean Northern Muslims only. Later on he admitted all Muslims including Yoruba Muslim.

Major-General Idiagbon (Rtd.) received several awards and medals. In alphabetical order they include:

Defence Service Medal (DSM) Defence Service Medal (Nigeria)
Forces Service Star (FSS) Forces Service Star (Nigeria)
General Service Medal (GSM) General Service Medal (Nigeria)
National Service Medal (NSM) National Service Medal (Nigeria)

show them..


there is no such thing as emir of ilorin.. as far as 1980.. there is no sure title.. it was during the political era of shagari.. that someone claim to be the emir of ilorin..


..
every town around it, has an oba... but this fake person.. call himself emir of ilorin... this is what happen..


I dont want to share a military secret... that the illiterate person who call himself an emir of ilorin does not know.. Because i dont want to open military secret online..

The man call emir of ilorin is like 419 like obasanjo.. Obasanjo is not a Yoruba person.. Because obasanjo discovered that they were calling themself Oba.. so because he was not a Yoruba person.. He called Himself Obasanjo.. which does not mean anything in Yoruba.. because Obasanjo is a scam artist.. obasanjo is a 419


everybody know the history of ilorin.. that the emir is fake.. instead of fighting for the right thing.. the student use blackmail to get things for them... from government

jbtobsyn:
Oga u stupid no be small.Our government should introduce history back to curriculum. Buhari cane in through coup

ThatKING:
Bukola Saraki was born in Lagos

Idiagbon’s style of leadership earned him a long line of powerful enemies, and they devised a way to get rid of him. However, they knew that the combination of Buhari and Idiagbon would be very difficult to dislodge. To neutralize the regime, Idiagbon had to be removed from the scene first before any attempt can be made to topple Buhari.

So in 1985 the plan was hatched by Babangida, MKO Abiola and his ilk to lure Idiagbon to travel out of Nigeria to attend the pilgrimage in Saudi Arabia..... Idiagbon had barely started his rites in the oil-rich desert kingdom when news reached him that his boss had been overthrown and detained. He was given clear warnings to stay away from the country or he would be dealt with.

At that point, the billionaire Saudi monarch, the late King Fahd Bin Abdulaziz Al Saud called Idiagbon and made an offer. The Saudi King told Idiagbon that he would get a palatial mansion and stay for his retirement for life and forget about the idea of returning to Nigeria. Idiagbon politely declined the offer and told King Fahd that he had to return to Nigeria for two good reasons, one of which was to make a statement that he was not a coward, so his family will later walk proud and that it would also be a great honour for him to die beside his boss, General Buhari, who saved his life during the Nigerian Civil War.

Few days later, he entered the Nigerian airspace. Armed soldiers and all kinds of weapons waited for him at the airport but he did not budge.

For daring to enter the Nigerian territory and having the guts to challenge a corrupt system, Idiagbon was placed under house arrest in Benin City and Bauchi State. He was locked up with his boss for 40 horrible months. He and Buhari had ruled Nigeria for 20 months before IBB and his boys came in and embarked on their coup.

When IBB overthrew his boss, he lashed out at their regime for being ‘rigid and uncompromising’. Special venom was reserved by IBB for Idiagbon as he descended on him with scathing criticism (IBB was later accused of mischievously carving out parts of Kwara State like Kainji and adding to his own Niger State out of his disdain for Idiagbon). When Idiagbon returned, he was put under house arrest by the IBB regime for three years. When he was released, he returned as a civilian to his hometown of Ilorin where he was received and hailed as a hero.

IDIAGBON’S RETIREMENT

After his release, he took to farming and almost completely slipped out of public glare. He refused to speak to any journalist or reporter, even on very crucial national issues. Even when General Sani Abacha invited him to head the Failed Contracts Tribunal, he simply refused and brushed aside the Khalifa’s invitation.

For almost 15 years, he did not talk to the public and faced his business. It was only on very rare occasions that he attended public events, like that of the coronation of his good friend, Major-General Mohammed Sani Sami (rtd) (Sani Gomo II) as the Emir of Zuru, Kebbi State in 1996 (Sami was the Bauchi State (now Bauchi and Gombe States) Governor under Buhari).

It was not until after Abacha’s sudden demise in June 1998, that Idiagbon decided to embrace the limelight once again, and contribute his own quota to national development. Interestingly, he was dead 10 months later.

The late General Idiagbon is one of the painfully few Nigerians that can be truly described as incorruptible. Even while an army general and the number two man in the world’s most populous black nation in the 1980s, his wife, Biodun, maintained a small ice cream shop at his Ilorin residence (interestingly Dame Patience Jonathan too was once into the sale of ice cream before her husband hit it big in national politics. Then, she had a rather ‘enchanting’ nickname: Mama Ice Cream).

Idiagbon had no millions of dollars, no eye-popping mansions, no private jets or mind-blowing automobiles even if he had the opportunity to the steal the nation blind. Even his home today at Ilorin is an attestation to his high moral standards. That stands out him in a nation that has become one vast Pacific Ocean of corruption and filthy lucre. Many Nigerians accuse him of being too strict, unnecessarily iron-fisted but definitely not corrupt.

-When he was in power, Idiagbon put everybody in their place. He did not patronize anyone and he did not allow anyone to patronize him. Anytime a northern emir or traditional ruler approached Buhari for any favour or ‘connection’, Buhari always directed them to his trusted deputy, Idiagbon. Upon getting to Idiagbon, the answer was always a very cold no, and the monarchs knew better not to press further because it will not be funny for a revered monarch to be koboko-ed.

It was so serious that even when the monarch of Buhari’s own hometown, Alhaji Muhammed Bashaar, the Emir of Daura approached Buhari to see if there was any possibility of ‘connection’, he was promptly rebuffed. Embarrassed and disappointed by the rigid stance of Idiagbon and his equally strict boss, the emirs headed back to the north, full of fury and anger.

They then rallied round the religious leaders and the masses and narrated the ‘hell’ they went through in the hands of the Buhari and his unappeasable deputy. Before you could spell Nigeria, Islamic clerics all across the north, especially in Sokoto, Kano and Kaduna prayed to Allah during congregational prayers to catalyze the removal of Buhari and Idiagbon, both of whom they referred to as ruthless tyrants.

Allah would later answer their prayers in a most spectacular manner with a gap-toothed dude called Babangida, who fried the nation for almost a decade.

IamaNigerianGuy:
1. Babangida has never been put in jail or detention by anybody

2. Idiagbon was rumored to be in running for Minister of Defense or other military appointment. There was no EFCC in 1999. The EFCC was founded in 2003 as a result of widespread corruption under the third republic.

For those interested, Buhari shed tears during the burial of Idiagbon because the latter was his close friend for more than 30 years and his deputy for 20 months and he saved his life during the civil war.

iamrealdeji:
EFCC was to be established in 1999 according to what heard,but after Idiagbon's death,there wasn't any credible enough person to fill it and the plan was shelved

tunjijones:
Idiagbon is a real disciplinarian. I remember when he came with one of Gus dauthers for registration in university of Ilorin. Everybody was on queue. The lecturers wanted his dauther to jump the queue. He vehemently said no that the dauther wasn't better than the other pple on the line. Rip sir.

God repose his soul in divine peace

Without gainsaying or arrogating credibility to oneself, I am dead sure about posessing same or even more sense of discipline, uprightness, incorruptibility and patriotism more than the likes of idiagbon

VOTE DEBO MARTINS
Vote National Rebirth and Selfless Service

AnanseK:
The blame for what Nigeria has become falls on you and me. Not Buhari, not Jonathan, not Obasanjo and definitely not Abacha.

Our wickedness stinks to the heavens as we go about our daily lives, pulling down everyone and everything to become rich. We import substandard products, fake drugs and expired baby food unfit for human consumption and we have the nerve to complain about leadership?

We even steal from widows, orphans, and refugees. We take their food and sell it for profit. No conscience. Nothing is sacred. No one is spared. We build substandard roads, schools, houses, hospitals, all for profit at the expense of human life;an invaluable item which all our profit and contract sum cannot buy.

One would think this behavior is reserved for urchins but it would surprise you that this is the character of many decent looking people. They are church members, Muslims, husbands, wives and sadly youths.

We pervert justice and pretend we do not know right from wrong just to serve our selfish interests. Slave traders pale in comparison to what we do to ourselves. We are wickedness personified. So much hatred flows in our blood and we transfer it to our children. It's evident in what we say and do.

We have fasting and prayer sessions all year long, night vigils and deliverance when the actual problem is us. We simply cannot learn to love others . It is me, me, me. That is all that ever matters. It is sickening. Anyone who cannot love has no business in politics, Government and in Nigeria. Until we understand this, we will continue on this path of destruction.
Keep on blaming Buhari.
