Lol, you think you are a student of Reason? I was brought up as a Christian, but that's not who a xtian is. A xtian is like a follower, how then can one just follow like a sheep, so I support anybody that follows that path, it give one the opportunity to fact.
1- my first problem started from spiritual entitled like witchcraft, and demons, a devoted atheist was I but I found no explanation for demons etc cos I was under serious attack.
2.-In Ogbomosho Oyo state, there are elders that can truely call dead people and those that wanna comm wt them will do so, then I was a Ladokite. I deny the existance of God, yet spiritual power less are showing me evidence.
3-i want to test all this, so I went somewhere where I confirm to live charms like disappearance, immunity against Gunshot and blades etc. Now I had a problem, thou I deny the Bible and quran, I can't deny what I saw with my Eyes. (if u don't believe God u will end up beleiving in things lesser than God) .
4-so I decide not to beleive but to Investigate. I first started wt quaran, my first problem with it was it started and relied on evidencies from a singleman, he alone bear evidence to have seen angel that brought the message, well since I was Investigating I was less concern. Lastly, before he died he said he wasn't sure where he is going, it really got me thinking that I can't relly on him.
5- Bible , no book is devoid of some form of constructive critisic. But it's started from a beginig and end into a future which was arranged by someone who must have lived for over a thousand Year. Mr a begat Mr B........ Chronology.
6-here I found a book that explains a lot like the question the op asked, the oldest holy book, jesus died over 400years b4 mohamed was born yet, there Is over 1000 years btw Genesis nd mathew. In the Bible are lots of secret, but it will amaze u that God doesn't want us to take consciousness of all this demons.
7-i started asking for guidiance and I came to a point where I was able to connect all loop holes. Ask for revelation in unbeleif and u will be connected.

Lastly, you don't beleive in God but u are conscious of idols and demons and can't deny them of existance. Then u are no atheist but a Wanna beleive.

the difference between you and I is the fact that I do not attribute inexplicable phenomenon to some sky daddy hanging up no where. Sure there is a supernatural force that governs this universe, what I will continue to disagree is the fact that it an entity represented by religious interpretation, I will rather go with the results and some of the logical explanations of science than the personal religious claims of the founders of any religion.

The fact that these many religions have different interpretations,conflicting reports of the divine revelations and most times, outright denial of each other's competing God's is all testament to the fact that God is actually a man's creation and not the phenomenal force that science logically describes as to our existence. Tryst me lady, I am not confused in my convictions, I do not need to have experience outside of the human realm or what is humanly perceptible to hold my beliefs.

They know nothing an astrology....it is actually based on some nomads, living in a very harsh condition and one of them at age 40 decided to visit a cave and started putting a believe system based on what he observed and heard. A system that will make him get all the women he ever lust for, all the wealth he ever wanted and all the political power he ever wanted. He was successful in getting that to those primitive
The fact is that every religion is based on astrological concepts, that is why you see all Stars, the moon, the lightning and all in all the religious symbols from Christianity to Islam to our traditional religions which I prefer to today's organized religions causing havoc in the world. Religion is man made and there is nothing Godly about it, it is just man's way of justifying his answers to mysterious questions he has not been able fathom.

Have followed ur post, you really wanna be convinced before you believe. Am into that more than you, people like us don't just beleive until we are convinced. I WAS once an atheist too, I beleive u when u said u v read both book, but just like you, we both read the bible for analysis and spiritual education. The quaran is a no go area, you can see Empire justifying rituals at this present age as a way of restituition for sin. The bible is a mere book when read like a mere book, that's y u will find it every where. But pls, pls pls do this for me, when ever you wanna read say this. Jesus I don't beleive you but pls make me beleive for I Crave for knowledge show me, then read ur bible. Do this often, u can never be more hungry than me. PLS do this b4 u say things cos God is no man. @Empire, lol. The Truth is that God created many things he owes us no explanation because he is the creator. jinn are categorized to demons and to trace their origin, one will have to go to that spiritual war that happened before the creation and setting of Man on Earth. PLS be careful, I can see u are a believer of their rhealm. Why did Africa experience more spiritual energy is no reason other than that our ancestors have been romancing this demons irrespective of Religion for too long(they shd be ignored) , they are always exalted this way for they are dominating spirit. So ones religion aint matters,they are always there but pls just ignore them, if u don't the more u go the more one gets dominated. Rasak slaps someone and he died, remember the consulter of the demons too is guity of murder by spiritual means. @op, it's very possible, bible gave account In elijah and john baptist. Samuel was consulted and he respondd. It's called spiritual Mysteries, no need to understand it cos one won't until when we die and is fully a spirit.
bullshyte...... The Bible is not any different from the Koran....... There is nothing inerrant about it, it is full of inconsistencies and concocted gnostic religious practices indulged by the people of the era....... Paul knew too well to smuggle it into new testament and caused more confusion as to who is the founder of today's Christianity, Jesus Christ or Paul that hinges faith in God as opposed to good works as a way to Heaven and righteousness. Christianity is full of plagiarism and so should not even accuse later religions of copying when the Bible is rife with early gnostic and hellenistic religious litany and literature, not to talk of the stolen Jewish concept of a messiah. Abeg relax jor, no religion in this world is fool-proof to withstand serious intellectual scrutiny and don't be talking about reading the Bible with spiritual eyes, you and I know that is a Christian mumbo-jumbo way of saying leave the facts and just believe the incredibly dumb lies.

Funny enough, for quite some time now, I have often found myself drawn to Yoruba and Akwa Ibom girls more than my Igbo sisters, especially Yoruba girls. For real, Yoruba girls are easy to get along and more open to my kind of relationship than my igbo sisters.

Akwa Ibom babes are very loyal and can take care of you to pieces..... One showed me love that got me so scared that I had to slow it down before she give me love isi mgbaka.... Lol.

My igbo sisters I still love them regardless but I have not been lucky with the kind of Igbo girl I would have wanted, the ones I have met use more of their head than their hearts..... One thing I know about Yoruba and Akwa Ibom girls is that if they say they love you, they mean that $h! T and will do so through thick and thin, the igbo sisters I have been involved with are usually too diplomatic in heart affairs.

But all the same, I am very open to inter tribal marriage, there is so much to learn from it and it widen your horizon about Nigeria, does not mean I can argue and disagree on politics with my Yoruba sweetheart that likes to call me omo ibo or okoro when she wants to tease.. Lol... Luv to pieces.

wow I can't believe I read all 5 pages of the thread. So unfortunate what the young Lady is passing through. And I must confess, that was quite an interesting revelation for me not with regards to this topic but that of the OP in that thread swtbb.... I hope she is able to pull through all that spiritual fight.

Some interesting observation in the thread:
1. I noticed that Jinn thing possessed mostly Muslim women and most of its effect are felt in illusions or another realm.
2. Both the effects, solutions and perspectives have largely been on Muslims and the Islamic way of cure, that is understandable but the discussion would have been more interesting to learn if it had also discussed non-islamic cases of such possessions unless of course if it is peculiar to Muslims alone.
3. The Jinn thing seem to me mostly like a demonic possession with Islamic explanation and solutions, do you know similar cases that have been solved outside of the confines of Islam, I mean where even the sufferer is not Muslim but still get cured.

Again, I must commend the efforts of the Muslims that gave her a repertoire of solutions which seemed to be working for the young lady, it really was an eye opener for me.... I have heard of cases of such possessions, it can be likened to the case of marine husband, spiritual wife, ogbanje or abiku sort of possession in other religions and tribes and I know they too have their own way of cure..... Exploring them will be very interesting.

Finally, the Jinn thing from what I have learned from that thread has little to do with the reincarnation being discussed here by this OP even though you referred me to a Jinn thread. It still did not answer my earlier questions, do you know of any Jinn children, or have you personally experience or witness the reincarnation phenomenon besides the usual once upon a time kind of gist that usually accompany reincarnation stories. The Jinn thread you referred me to discussed Jinn in another level of operations not similar in anyway to the reincarnation topic here..... Would like to get a response from you. Besides, I noticed I am not able to comment the Jinn thread unless I confess to being a Muslim, come on, is that really necessary, I really would love to join the discussion and ask question as an outside, you know bring another perspective to the discussion, what the lady needs is help, it does not matter if it comes from a non-islamic source or does it?

Quran says:

"And I (Allah) created not the jinns and humans except they should worship Me (Alone). "

Jinn have been given power to change their form and appear in front of human beings in various forms; such as an animal, a reptile, or even a human being. There are righteous ones among them. Not all of them are evil.

Do They Die:

Yes. Jinn do die. As long as they are creatures created by Allah (swt), they should die. They are creatures that marry, produce children, eat, drink, and die like all other creatures in the universe. One may read Qur'an Surah Al-Rahman (The Most Merciful) [Qur'an, 55:26-28].
bullshyte. Do you know of any jinny or her children or even have a personal experience besides the fairy-tale recorded in holy books with conflicting reports of reincarnation.

The truth is that SR has always been anti-PDP government, it does not matter who is in government so long as it is PDP the report has to be in form of a bias expose', this is why I get tired of the likes of SR, the emphasis they lay on exposing corruption only starts and ends with the PDP. We don't get to see the same endless bad news about Lagos or the endless fraudulent activities of the Lagos state assemblies members or even that of Tinubu.
They don't get to tell us about the corrupt activities of former PDP members that are now with the APC, the likes of Atiku, Kwankwanso and many former PDP members are not exposed.

I am all for fairness and equality and that is what I don't see on SR, every news they make is always in an effort to disparage and further put the government in bad light..... The knack for reporting BokoHaram stories both truth, half truths and outright lie and propaganda just made me stop taking them seriously, at that point I just knew that they had gone rogue, it was obvious that they were doing dirty propaganda work for the opposition. SR has no credibility, hear-say and suggestive articles are by no means journalism, any ediota can do the same.

As long as people see taking a corpse "home" for burial as a must then they will continue to be subjected to this exploitation and manipulation.
If you know you want to be buried in the village, please find out about the traditional expectations and start to put things in place before you die, do not put unnecessary burdens on your children.


I gathered that some titled chiefs in certain areas live out of this, so 'keeping the tradition' is very beneficial to them, they will always have stories to tell of someone who refused to provide the cows for a burial rite and died within 7days or how young people started dying in the family!

It is appointed to man to die once and after death is judgment, if you like slaughter twenty cows and bury him in a freshly built skyscraper.
Some of you here just write with careless abandon like you live in some Eldorado world free from culture and belief systems. That you do not believe in being buried in your place of origin does not make it a bad practice.

It is easy for a Yoruba person to siddon from one corner and question the rationale behind the usefulness of owning a home in your place of origin or being buried there because he is not from there and can not relate with the culture and traditions of places outside of Yoruba land. That is understandable but don't be telling people that think otherwise that they are wrong for holding such belief.

If there is one thing I like igbo men for, it is the fact that this fact is not lost on them. no correct igbo man will build a house in Lagos when he does not have a home in his father's compound or village. It is a thing of shame that is not excusable, all these petty excuses of relatives hijacking the house are not true. You can't use isolated cases to conclude that it is what everyone in the village does. In my family compound for instance, putting up befitting structure is like a competition amongst my uncles, my dad and his brothers.

There is no how one will build a house in the village and it will revert to some other person's own, that's an exaggeration, no village will allow such nonsense. There is no how Tuface will build a befitting house for his dad and some random village person will later come a lay claim to it, that's a big lie.

Tuface messed up big time if with all the money and fame, he didn't see the need to for his family members to enjoy throw the ownership of a son like 2face.

I don't want to believe that Tuface with all his popularity and fame does not have a befitting house in his father's compound. I saw pictures of the burial and I couldn't resist the temptation to ask the question : Does it mean that Mr idibia does not have any modern looking house in his father's compound?
Did he have to wait for his kinsmen to angrily give him ultimatum and the kind of house he should build. The man has got a twisted priority if this is the best he could do.

See some people here with no sense of belonging talking about building it and somebody else living in it, is that an excuse? No true Nwafor in igbo land will take the idea of building a befitting structure in his father's place and his place too as a secondary issue. Even after your father has built, who says you can't build too. In my village we there are well known families whose brothers build houses in the village despite the befitting one built by their father....

Wetin most of these small children dem dey talk sef..... How can somebody like Tuface not have a house on the village even if he sleeps there once in year, that's his only connection to that village and you lot wonder why the villagers on edge and cursing out his mum. Come on let's be sincere, the only way Tuface can think of going back to that village is if he has a home there. You can build in Lagos and forget your village..... He is even lucky, in some igbo towns they won't even let him bury the man in any part of the village sef...... Tuface Don Bleep up big time.

It is one thing to say you are able to control the urge and wait for whatever time you have agreed but to claim that you have no sexual feelings or desire towards the one that you love underlies a big problem that would later rear its ugly head when the time finally reaches for it. No man will not cheat on a woman that finds sex an ordeal or is not sexually attracted to him, so no dey for robot woman here for us. There is a kind of openness that sex brings to a relationship that even love can not attain, it takes it to a whole new level of knowing each other and revealing compatibility with each other.

corruption and tribalism is synonymous with the Yoruba tribe, every criticism and opposition you give always have undertones of bigotry disguised as a genuine fight for justice. We all saw what hypocrites like you did during the Stella saga, we all saw how Yoruba so-called progressives went gun blazing and wanted her head on the table even after she had resigned yet the likes of Tinubu, Kuforuji, the very corrupt Lagos state speaker and even Otedola have been given a blind eyes to the same act you want people of other tribe to be killed for.

You lot know how to arrogate everything to yourselves, nobody is supporting Otedola, the question is anyone hounding him and calling for the destruction and loss of his company for the same crimes as you and your tribalistic progressives are doing here on NL.
You want the Jonathan government to dissolve the company without thinking about the workers and the families that are dependent on them.

The way some kids here just jump on issues they barely understand only shows how shallow many so-called Nigerian youths are, they would rather for the baby to be thrown away with the bath water for Jonathan to prove to them that he is fighting corruption.

The most annoying people here are the self-righteous Yoruba people here trying to hide under the guise of fighting corruption to fight economic war again people of certain tribe, they think we are fools. They are quick to turn a blind eyes on corrupt practices of their kinsmen but want people of other tribes to show example of fighting corruption by using their own kinsmen. Is Ifeanyi Uba more corrupt than Femi Otedola who openly confessed his attempt to bribe a lawmaker? What has he suffered. Was Femi Otedola not accused of thesame corrupt enrichment through subsidy?
How come no Yoruba person here is questioning the fact that till today they continue to exist.

If Oyedepo is not a greedy fellow then what is his motive of wanting to build school models in the UK of all places. He is more into investment than the so-called gospel he uses to expand his business. If he was truthful to himself, he would realize that if really he is all about the gospel and it's reach, Nigeria and other African countries should be considered not an already developed clime with a well developed education system. It is all about profit for this greedy Nigerian Pastors.

Which of his faith schools is affordable to an average Nigerian, the answer is none. He likes to pride himself as an astute business man but fail to emphasize how to strike a balance between personal investment and God's work, everything the man does is for business, so annoying. His attempt to set up these schools is nothing but profit driven, he knows they can afford to pay his exorbitant school fees, he already has a market in the congregation.

People like Oyedepo made me realize that religion in general is a scam, the type that even when you realize it, you are in awe and are ready to be used and be scammed more times. The type that makes you numb in the head and feel your guts with fear of the supernatural anger if you dare question the godlike MOG who is assumed to be more than human and can't possibly be as greedy as a Dangote or a Nigerian Politician.
Oyedepo is the greatest lie ever sold. And with the rate the man is going, he is possibly going to be the wealthiest preacher that ever lived.

It is like the man is in a competition with his ego and the fact that he wants to be seen as the prosperity preacher that pushed it to another level and commercialize the gospel to its full potential. No longer are these investments tied to the church, they are strictly Oyedepo's and family. He might have no problem stepping down early as the leader of winners and giving the leadership to somebody else that is not necessarily family. He has already set his son up for life and has succeeded in exploiting the church to building his own personal empire..... Notice how they are beginning to exist in different names other than faith schools as they are known here in Nigeria, now it is Kingdom schools.

Romance / Re: Miss Nairaland December 2014 Winner: Jennimma! by rhymz(m): 3:42pm On Nov 08, 2014
I must confess, two of the ladies just swept me off with their natural beauty and dress sense... Vivly and Jenimma. Damn.
If I had seen their pictures and profiles earlier on, I probably would have voted for them.

Jenimma: for instance, reminds me a lot of my former girlfriend, though my ex-girl friend is taller but in terms of facial features, complexion and looks, they look very much alike. If it were by facial beauty alone she go win am hands down. She's got the most charming and naturally beautiful face of the lot. No much make up or hair extensions.

Vivly: has the face of a model, and her dress sense so far is the most impressive. The kind of girl you want to flaunt to friends and just take out for no reason than to show off and brag about how you can get very pretty girls as girlfriend. She is the definition of black beauty. The kind of girl I will do crazy stuff for to get....in wizkid's voice, "I fit Die on top her Matter"..lol

Rozzay Rozzay Rozzay. . . . To tell you the truth, until today, the only picture of you I saw was the first one up, honestly if I had seen this other ones you posted on this thread, I probably would have had a re-think voting for you the third time (I already voted for you again today-Joseph came calling as usual) seeing these other pictures just slapped the thirst of you off my tongue. They were neither flattering nor impressive, if anything, they took away some beauty point away from. Fact is, unlike Vivly and Jenimma who are obviously photogenic, you baby are not photogenic and should have considered that before sending those very dry and unflattering pictures out. You just know try at all. You could have, as a matter of urgency get a HD camera like Rokiatu and take flattering pictures of yourself, for real. The only people contestants that can post random pictures like that and still maintain the wow factor are Jenmma, Vivly and Rokiatu for her body features not you dear. But its all good. I don vote for you already, so all I can do is rant now..lol

Rokiatu: This Liberian queen sure knows how to play and play it well. so far she remains the most popular here, the boldest, most glamorous and very savvy with her expressions. She obviously can pass for the most exposed as well. She has the most consistent flattering pictures of herself so far. I also notice a little bit of Photoshopping which shows she is both fashion and camera savvy. And she is the most sultry and physically attractive and imposing lady of the lot, from her make-up to her clothes and shoes tells it all....she's been in the game of fashion the longest.

Temigrace: Bears some resemblance with Rokiatu, she can easily be forgotten in the lingering image of Rokiatu. This makes it hard a bit describe her cos you would think you have already done so, the only picture of her that lingers is probably one I saw in which she was wearing contacts, I think and the numerous inscriptions and Photoshop work done on them, and then the lips pouting..lol... I dont know why I always feel like lips pouting is done mostly by girls who are artificial (my opinion, not saying you are dear).

Anyway, I wish you all Goodluck Jonathan Luck...lol....Rozzay hope your hail marys work for you o cos you don make the matter hard small...lol..goodluck queens. Before I forget, My two favorites now are Jenmma and Vivly....they got me interested with their looks..hahahahaha

WHO IS AFRAID OF BUHARI? 

Despite serving in senior capacity in the oil sector, first as Minister for Petroleum and then Petroleum Trust Fund, Buhari has no petrol station, much less a rig, refinery or an oil block like so many of our so called leaders.
He could have retired into nauseating opulence like most of his counterparts (IBB or Danjuma or even OBJ) but didn't.
Instead of hobnobbing with the high and mighty, he has cast his lot with the ordinary man most of who follow him out
Another lie you lot like to tell to yourselves. You honestly believ that Buhari did not profit from heading any of these agencies or there was no accusation of corrupt enrichment?

Have we all forgotten that as commissioner (minister) of petroleum, 2.8 million dollars (billions in today’s currency) went missing under his watch. Till date they say he was not the thief. Others stole it. Okay oh! At this juncture, I think it is imperative that we discuss his chairmanship of PTF:

Gen. Buhari was Executive Chairman of the Petroleum (Special) Trust Fund from its inception in 1994, to its disbandment by the Obasanjo administration in 1999. According to the report of the Interim Management Committee, which was set up in that year to investigate the affairs of the Fund, the total income accruing to the Fund from mid-1994 to July 1999 was in excess of N181 billion. There were six major areas in which the PTF intervened directly during the period. They were: roads and waterways; supply of educational materials and rehabilitation of educational infrastructure; food supply; health; water supply; and what was curiously termed other projects.

The management structure of the Fund was so capricious, from start, as in retrospect to suggest that the executive chairman was far more impressed by his position as an alternate Head of State, an Interventionist Czar who was answerable to no one, not even the Head of State himself, than anything else. First, he unilaterally appointed a single consultant, Afri-Projects Consortium, as the sole adviser to the Fund. Then he delegated virtually all his powers to this agency. Afri-Projects Consortium was given the exclusive power to initiate projects, assess their probable cost, approve the costs, execute the projects, and assess the quality of execution, all alone. The Consortium's decisions could not be questioned by anyone outside the Fund. Even the statutory members of the Fund's Board of Trustees found themselves helplessly watching as huge sums of money were paid out for questionable projects. And not surprisingly, the three professional management firms recruited by the Interim Management Committee to audit the performance of Afri-Projects Consortium came up with the unanimous conclusion that APC had over-charged the Fund for its services to the tune of over N2 billion.

APC directly managed the HIV/AIDS Intervention Programme of the Fund. Its managerial incompetence was found to be staggering. It knowingly imported sub-standard, poorly packaged, poorly stored, expired, or soon to expire treatment kits and drugs. And in the end, the auditing firms that investigated APC's performance concluded that it had cost the government N579 million by stocking huge silos of useless drugs and kits, purchased at inflated prices.

PTF's intervention in other areas of the health sector was equally atrocious. For instance, under the supervision of the omnipotent APC, PTF purchased large quantities of spectacle frames which were at the time costing only N800 a piece locally, for N1,900 a piece. This cost the public treasury over N45 million in inflated charges.

Ambulances whose going price at the time was N3 million each were found to have been purchased for N13 million each, leading to a loss to the treasury of N900 million.

PTF, through APC, purchased general drugs at the cost of N3 billion. The Interim Management Committee's consultants concluded that the Fund had been cheated by as much as N1.5 billion through inflated charges, and because most of the drugs had already expired before they could be safely used.

The Interim Committee's consultants also discovered that PTF had decided, without approval from the government, to build a residential estate in Wuse, Abuja, a project which was clearly outside the scope of its intervention mandate. The project purportedly cost PTF N703 million. But the consultants concluded that a realistic valuation of the project could not exceed N328 million. The project cost was inflated by more than 100 per cent, at N375 million.

In virtually every other area of PTF activity, three separate consultants engaged by the Interim Committee, and working independently, concluded that there had been massive fraud or criminal mismanagement of funds belonging to Buhari's empire. The Headquarters Extension and Renovation Project of the PTF cost the Fund N461 million. The consultants determined that it should not have cost more than N326 million. The Fund had been defrauded by N135 million.

The PTF had three main bank accounts. The independent consultants concluded that the Fund had been short-changed by as much as N3.6 billion by way of short payment of interest accruals from deposits, or excessive charges on Cost of Turnover by preferred banks.

The Rural Water Supply Scheme was another funnel from which huge sums of money were siphoned away. The independent consultants determined that as much as N1 billion was recoverable from inflated costs and mobilisations for work that was never done. They discovered, also, that the Fund had lost as much as N900 million in the Educational Materials Supply Scheme, through inflated charges and non-performance of contracts duly paid for.

The Rural Telecommunications Development Scheme was another such scheme from which money was cynically carted away by favoured clients. The scheme was designed in two parts: a Pilot Phase, and the Main Phase. The Pilot programme was intended to determine the viability of the project. But this did not deter PFF, under Gen. Buhari, to award contracts for the main programme to the tune of N1.6 billion, without any contracts signed, and before any conclusions could be drawn from the Pilot project.

It is a horrendous story of criminal negligence, cynical fraud, and unprecedented disregard for all civilised standards of prudence and transparency in the disbursement of public funds. In the end, the independent consultants concluded that of the N181 billion that accrued to PTF in the four and a half years of its existence between July 1994 and July 1999, as much as N25 billion was either stolen or improperly expended.

The great man's defence

Sources from within the PTF Interim Management Committee assert that when Gen. Buhari was invited to comment on the findings of the committee's consultants regarding the conduct of the empire over which he presided, he coyly retorted that he was not aware that such massive fraud went on his watch, but that in any event, he could not have benefited personally from the hideous purloining of the treasury.

That may be true, but it does not detract from the fact that he delegated to this outfit the sole and exclusive power to initiate projects, assess those submitted by other companies, approve variations on contract sums, and determine the quality of work done. He also, by his own admission, according to our sources, approved in writing all recommended payments from the Fund. But he did not know, he claimed, that those to whom he had delegated virtually all his powers were stealing the country blind. And no one has a right to call him to account, since to do so would be to question his famous reputation. So much for a clean slate, no nonsense leader.

In his time as Head of State he reduced inflation from 23% to 4%, by fiscal discipline and a homegrown economic team (not achieved under any other era, even military).
JJ Rawlings of Ghana took over 2yrs before him, and killed all the corrupt leaders, while Buhari only sentenced the corrupt leaders here to prison.
Don't you see your own hypocrisy and that of Buhari in this statement. You illegally overthrow a democratically constituted government and yet you want to talk about corruption? Am not even going to discuss that issue because I have always known that Buhari occupies a hazy world of his own self piety. He is the only one who can regulate his perfect self, not even Allah can do that.
