IleIfe2:It was even in response to one of Asari Dokubo's verbal diarrhoeas where he said Jonathan MUST return as president in 2015. Seun and the Mods, by pushing it to the front page, are just showing that they are jittery over the overwhelming support GMB now enjoys on NL as a result of the realization that Nigeria needs to eject the failure called Jonathan if we are to move forward. |
IleIfe2: |
jamace:I have never insulted anyone on this forum, and my records bear me witness, but I must state that you're extremely foolish for insulting an entire region. Would it be fair to say that your entire population is full of grandmother rapists and cannibals? Respect yourself sir. |
Association of Corrupt Presidents - birds of a feather flock together. |
T9ksy:Epic . |
spenca:I am full of thanks for his challenge because he is unwittingly raising awareness about the General's sterling qualities. All the achievements listed here are just what he achieved as HOS within 18 months, and exclude his achievements as Federal Commissioner (Minister) for Petroleum and as PTF Chairman. |
jedisco:Budget cuts tend to have the greatest impact on programs that benefit the poor and vulnerable (GMB's constituency and support backbone), as other items, such as interest on the debt, the public-sector wage bill, or military expenditures, are more likely to have first claim on scarce funds. What would be a source for concern is if the budget cut was on capital projects, if however unnecessary costs of governance were being incurred (e.g expansion of the presidential fleet) then it would be a relief on our scarce national resources if they are done away with. |
kinibigdeal:Buhari, as the General Officer Commanding the 3rd Armoured Brigade, Jos, played a leading role when President Shehu Shagari crushed the Maitatsine riots of 1980 in the Bulumkutu area of Maiduguri. When he became the Head of State, a rump of the Maitatsine group that escaped to Jimeta in Yola, in 1984, exploded in another wave of attacks on Christians and moderate Muslims. Their agenda was exactly the same as that of Boko Haram. Buhari sent a military expedition and defeated the uprising. Musa Makaniki, the leader of the Jihadists, fled to his hometown in Gombe and Buhari pursued him there, eliminated him and stamped out the insurgency. |
aletheia:Feel free to replace #10 with - He defeated and successfully uprooted the Maitatsine Islamic Sect which terrorised the North East in the early 80's killing thousands. |
Beautiful, Enlightening and Illuminating. General Buhari has been vindicated, Nigeria needs this brand of excellence one more time. |
scribble:Okay. |
mikeansy:Excellence in Sports Administration is an achievement, no matter how you try to spin it. Meanwhile here is what Labaran Maku had to say about Coach Jonathan.
|
Justcash:You cannot trust the corrupt to end corruption - General Muhammadu Buhari, 2014. |
scribble:My brother, all my accounts are in Pound Sterling. Sorry to disappoint. |
nnachukz:A.k.a excellence in sports administration. General Buhari is truly an all-rounder. |
mikeansy:What do you think is the duty of the National Orientation Agency (NOA), a long-standing FG parastatal? |
barcanista:Seen |
simpleseyi: |
tit:In your neck of the woods, reducing the cost of governance and saving money is not an achievement right? Just the way you don't think stealing is corruption...not surprising. |
Nice compilation barcanista, but where are Ali Modu Sherriff, Ihejirika and Oritsejafor? |

Here are some of General Buhari's numerous achievements while in office; for FREE 1. The wrestling of a major concession from OPEC in 1984 to increase Nigeria's oil production quota from 1.3 million barrels to 1.45 million barrels per day. 2. The initiation of a public campaign against indiscipline known as "War Against Indiscipline" (WAI). This policy won him national and universal applause, as a result of its effectiveness. 3. In order to reform the economy, as Head of State, Buhari started to rebuild the nation's social-political and economic systems, along the realities of Nigeria's austere economic conditions. The rebuilding included removing or cutting back the excesses in national expenditure, obliterate or remove completely corruption from the nation's social ethics, shifting from mainly public sector employment to self employment. Buhari also encouraged import substitution industrialisation based to a great extent on the use of local materials and he tightened importation. 4. General Buhari in 1984, was able to achieve 15 percent cut from Shagari's 1983 Budget. 5. The victory of Nigeria's Under-17 Team (the Golden Eagles) at the Kodak World Cup Soccer Competition in China in August, 1985. 6. Even as a Military Head of State, Buhari maintained and enhanced diplomatic relations with all countries and international organisations such as the OAU, UN, OPEC, ECOWAS and the Commonwealth of Nations. He also honoured all treaty obligations entered into by previous governments. 7. The freezing of accounts of political parties and corrupt ex-political office holders in the Second Republic in 1984. 8. The change of colour of the nation's currency notes (except the fifty kobo note) in April 1984 to stop currency trafficking. The exercise rendered almost half of the estimated N6 billion in circulation worthless at the expiration of the change. 9. The launching of the Expanded Immunization Programme (EPI) in May, 1984. 10. The wrestling of a major concession from OPEC in 1984 to increase Nigeria's oil production quota from 1.3 million barrels to 1.45 million barrels per day. BONUS: 11. The introduction of a new Customs Tariff, which reduced the range of import duties from between zero and 500 per cent to between 5 per cent and 200 per cent. 12. The granting of import duty exemption to only twenty items including agricultural implements, air craft, fuels, lubricants, educational films, technical assistance materials etc. 13. The imposition of a levy on dormant companies 14.The rescheduling of the nation's short term trade debts valued at over =N=5 billion and the subsequent issuance of promissory notes to the uninsured creditors. 15. The procurement of new Air Buses by Nigeria Airways in 1985 to boost air transportation. Note that all these were achieved in less than 3 years, and his outstanding achievements as PTF chairman have not been mentioned. Sai Buhari 2015! |

davitogreat:I am not in support of false or deliberately skewed reporting either, I was essentially condemning the irresponsibility and carelessness with which the NA handled the situation by labelling a recognised and respected news organisation as a proponent of terror and an enemy of the state. |
scribble:If you were even remotely smart as you immodestly attributed to yourself, you would realise that throwing baseless allegations in the course of cerebral discourse will only earn you an admonishment to be reasonable at best. |
Jonathan's cluelessness is a cancer which is spreading to different arms of government. What kind of irresponsible labelling of an independent news organisation is this? Doesn't it portray the NA as a toothless bulldog by identifying SR as a supporter of terrorism within its territory and doing nothing about it apart from getting emotional and hoping that 'the collective goodwill' of Nigerians will do the trick? |
barcanista:My brother GEJ and his gang of thieves seem to live in a utopian world, completely disconnected from the painful realities of life as a common Nigerian. If the money spent on this misadventure was used in providing basic infrastructure like the establishment of decentralised power stations, would it not attract the much needed FDI that in turn would strengthen the Naira instead of window-dressing? They seem to forget that even if you put lipstick on a pig, it's still a pig. |
scribble:Do you care to know how much of your taxes was spent on this futile attempt to white-wash the valueless Naira? |
Since GEJ started absolving bombers of any guilt starting with the vindication of self-confessed terrorist Henry Okah for the Abuja Independence Day bombings in October 2010, which highlighted the glaring need for a robust opposition. |
goldentee:Its a shame that so much effort is being put in to window-dress one of the least respected currencies on earth, we need change (pun well intended). |
