Very soon, Buhari's vuvuzelas will post a link to a 1984 New York Times article
[http://www.nytimes.com/1984/01/21/world/around-the-world-nigeria-says-it-recovers-millions-from-ex-aides.html], claiming that stockpiles of money of more than $56,000 was found in Ekweme's House. But tell them that that was Buhari's government's allegation. Apart from Buhari/Idiagbon, no one else saw that money. They just had to trump up that charge to justify their human rights abuse just to earn legitimacy in the eyes of the world.


Till today, Buhari cannot substantiate why he cruelly jailed Ekwueme. He only came up with an unproven allegation which Uwaifo panel shot down few years later.

Ekwueme was not tried. He was never sentenced. Buhari just left him to rot in Kirirkiri without trial because he knew he had no evidence.

Now, look at what Ekwueme has to say about the allegations:

" Buhari cannot even get any evidence to support what he was saying because they were allies. Blatant lies. It was just a hang-up he had simply because he was in power, and had the gun. And he had to justify his own illegality (of toppling a legitimate government)".

And read this too: Ekwueme was never tried but was illegally detained for 20 months. Hear him:

"I waited for them for 20 months and they didn’t even come to ask me a question because I was the first person to be detained from December 31".

Read this Ekwueme's interview: http://sunnewsonline.com/new/?p=8561




Buhari is an epitome of criminality and wickedness. All perfumes of Arabia cannot mask the stench of dictatorship and cruelty that oozes out of him. Try as you can to fumigate his image, like the he-goat, his body produces his stench.

Another oft bandied lie of these Buharistans is that Buhari Ekwueme was jailed for corruption. Ekwueme was the first politician to be picked up by Buhai boys on the day of the Buhari coup-31 Dec 1983. Nothing incriminating was found on the guy. So, to incriminate him, Buhari sold a lie to Nigerians that $56,000 was found in Ekwueme's house. Till today, nobody apart from Buhari and perhaps, Idiagbon, his 2iC, saw that money. Other accused politicians were tried in the military tribunal and jailed. But Ekwueme was neither taken to a tribunal nor a court--not even a kangaroo one. For 20 months the man was jailed without trial. Later, a panel set up by IBB headed by Justice Uwaifo investigated Ekwueme and returned a verdict that politics made Ekwueme even poorer. He praised Ekwueme for his forthrightness. Till today, Ekwueme has never been found guilty of any crime in his days as Vice President.

Yet, these Buharistans keep passing off this gross abuse of fundamental human rights as an achievement. Too bad!

Amaechi to lawyers: You escaped beating from thugs because I was out of town when you protested

November 9, 2014




The Rivers State Governor, Mr. Rotimi Amaechi, has declared that lawyers protested against hiss administration over the crippling of the judiciary were lucky he was out of the state as he would have arranged for them to be thoroughly beaten by thugs.
Amaechi told the stunned lawyers that he would have had the thugs dressed as lawyers and the protesting lawyers would have received the beating of their lives.

The governor expressed dissatisfaction over the protest against his administration by some lawyers for non-appointment of a chief judge, adding that such lawyers should have channelled their grievances to the appropriate quarters.
He said that the Chief Justice of the Nigeria, Justice Aloma Mariam Mukhtar, should be blamed for the crisis rocking the state judiciary.
Amaechi spoke in Port Harcourt during a meeting between him and members of the Nigerian Bar Association over the ongoing judiciary workers’ strike in the state.

The judiciary workers began the strike on June 10, 2014 over the dispute between the state government and the National Judicial Council on the appointment of a Chief Judge of the state.
Addressing members of the NBA, Amaechi said contrary to opinions in some quarters, he was not behind the closure of courts in the state.

They say Buhari can never allow corruption to fester. Now, I grew up in the old Imo State. I was small chap when Buhari came on board. Before Buhari's coup, Sam Mbakwe was the governor of the (old) Imo State, comprising present day Imo and Abia as well as the Afikpo axis of Ebonyi. Mbakwe was everything any state would desire as a governor. He set out to industrialize Imo. The infrastructure his government built in the old Imo has yet to be rivaled. He established Imo State University immediately he became governor. The university, along with the then Bendel State University (now Ambrose Alli University) and Lagos State university were the first set of state universities in Nigeria. They were all established in the same year. So, Mbakwe did well by all standards.

Buhari's government appointed Ike Nwachukwu the military governor of Imo State. Ike Nwachukwu (meanwhile Nwachukwu's mother comes from Buhari's Kastina State), under Buhari, set Imo State back just like Buhari set Nigeria back. It was as if he was out to undo all that Mbakwe did. He appointed his cronies the heads of the industries Mbakwe built or maintained. Thence commenced the gradual degeneration of Imo. Worse still, Nwachukwu's government forced civil servants, teachers, students and pupils in the state to pay what was called SURVIVAL LEVY. I was in primary three then and I remember I paid N12. Yes, N12. It was a relatively big money then. Remember, in all the great things Mbakwe did in Imo, the people were never levied. That money was looted as till today, nobody can point to what Ike Nwachukwu's government did with that survival levy. Yet, Buhari did not see that as corruption. But his followers tell us that he loathes corruption.


That is why you can never win me over with Buhari will fight corruption bla bla bla. What is even corruption? Corruption, according to the Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary is "dishonest or illegal behavior, especially by people in authority". This shows that corruption goes beyond looting of government treasury or embezzlement of public funds. It includes any illegal behaviour. Going by this definition, coup plotting is a crime by Nigerian law. Thus, it is an illegal act. It is corruption and nothing more pretentious. Thus, Buhari, a confirmed coup plotter and human rights abuser, the man who promulgated the decrees 2 and 4 of 1984 to jail journalists who report the corrupt activities of his regime, is CORRUPT. Enough of Buhari's hypocrisy.

Fellow Nigerians, corruption cannot fight corruption.

The lies and fictions of APCheats have been shot down--and with facts, too. At least, there are very many things they can no longer say about the criminal, hypocritical coup plotter called Buhari.

Indeed, by the end of 1984, hunger level rose and things became worse than ever in Nigeria. These Buhari vuvezelas were not born then. Hence they are romanticizing the idealess coup plotter.

Fellow Nigerians, corruption cannot fight corruption.

BUHARIASIS is a dangerous disease.

datolee the APC destroyer. Suddenly, the APC e-rottweilers have gone numb. Even the lone defender of their territory on this front has disappeared. APC is built on lies and nothing more pretentious. We shall continue to repudiate the lies with truth. We will not insult them, lest we will become like them because insult is their stock in trade.


Their lies will continue to fall because they are standing on sinking sand. At least we now know that contrary to their claims:


-Buhari led the 31 Dec 1983 coup
-Buhari neither built nor initiated the building of any refinery
-Buhari never budgeted in surplus
-Buhari never paid off our debt. Rather, he increased our debt burden
-Buhari attempted to borrow from IMF and when IMF turned down his loan request he started criticizing IMF

I wonder why any sane person should be calling for a man who failed as a leader many years ago--before the PDP youth leader was born; when the Minister of Transport was just about to begin secondary school. How can someone who wishes Nigeria well call for the return of a criminal coup plotter who made a law banning journalists from publishing the corrupt activities of his government?

Good job, datolee. Keep destroying their fictions with facts. Nigeria will not go down with them.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lol....Bros, na now you dey remember God. na wa for u ooo. When you left out the Belewa years you did not remember God. At least, I am closer to the real thing than you who left out (albeit deliberately) Belewa's 5.5 years and gave it to Zik. My own can be forgiven but yours be like original Ojoro.

prezidooo:
that is alwayz our problem, mouth. Am sure u don't have voters card and can give GBJ one vote. U can only support with ur 32

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It is your problem, not mine. The facts on ground indicate that Buhari pulled crowd in 2003, 2007 and 2011, and still lost. If there is a contrary fact, you state it rather than bandying innuendoes.

gists:
Yes I am apologetic to APC but let it be known I am not a card carrying APC member and probably never will be (or any other political party for that matter). I lived practically all my life in Lagos (only moved out about 10yrs ago but still visit very regularly) and very familiar with all those areas you are talking about. Although, your water project example may not be the best you should have used as the present governors has commissioned (not awarded/issued etc) a number of waterworks in different parts of the state. Whether it is enough is a subject of discussion. To say APC is faultless in Lagos will be a big fat lie and it is obvious that there are plenty of rooms for improvements.

BUT THAT IS GOVERNANCE WORLD OVER!! YOU CANNOT SAY SINCE 1999 SUCCESSIVE GOVERNORS IN LAGOS HAS BEEN RETROGRESSIVE. I have said this before and I will repeat it - In 2011 I voted for GMB not I believe he has any economic magic wand to transform Nigeria to US over night. I voted for him because I need just to basic things - End militancy and reduce corruption - PERIOD!

Without these two key elements, you simply cannot grow. Unfortunately these are the bane of this administration. And for me whatever supposed achievement gej might have had elsewhere goes down the drain. Of what benefit is it to be the biggest economy in Africa if your daughters cannot return home from school or you have your boy killed in his hostel while sleeping? Don't forget this happened in a state where there is emergency rule. We can and we have been waiting for electricity for decades, for me that is not big deal anymore. We can and we have been waiting for good roads/hospitals and other social amenities for decades. Again that is not big deal. But can you wait for security? people died in Abuja bomb blast and our president went on skelewu dancing competition. $20b is still missing unaccounted for and our president think ordinary stealing is not corruption. Waterway security has been given to a known militant. To add salt to injury, oil theft still goes on unchecked.

The worst of it all (for me) is the topic of this thread. After compounding all these problems they now want to turn us against one another on religion lines just to stay in power. We have had muslim and christian presidents in the past which among them have tried to use religion to manipulate people to return them to abuja?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On Lagos and water, I am not talking about commissioned water projects, for every state has one. The main point is whether the generality of the citizens have something as basic as water. Whatever Fashola has commissioned does not meet the need of up to 10 per cent of the Lagos population. I live in a city that for four years running has been the most liveable city in the world on the Liveability index. I know what potable water is all about and no state in Nigeria has met just 5% of the people's need.

Now, let us not deceive ourselves that there is this man with the magic wand who will come and decree out corruption. Remember how our people use courts to stall cases? This is not the military era. There is the rule of law and lawyers will always find ways to frustrate the system. You see, corruption is something complex. It is not just stealing but stealing is part of it. I think that was what GEJ was trying to communicate but did not communicate well. Manipulating the system is corruption. Coup plotting is corruption. Not applying the rule of law is corruption. So, if you check the dictionary meaning of corruption you will see that our dear Buhari is not corruption-free. I prefer saying that he is less corrupt than the others. But to say he is not corrupt is taking it too far. That is where I don't agree with many of his apologists. Don't forget that there were cases of corruption under his watch in PTF. Don't forget too that a man of integrity would have flayed the utterly corrupt Abacha's government. Yet, he served in that government and never, as a patriotic Nigerian that loathes corruption, spoke out against the corruption of the era. Let us not make Buhari god because we will be utterly disappointed. That he has the mojo to sweep away corruption in seconds is a wishful thinking.

Now, why are we so biased in our judgement? Why do some of us agree that $20b is missing now and disagree that $2.8bn missed during Buhari's time as NNPC boss? Didn't the Senate probe the so-called missing $20bn and return a verdict that no money was missing? Now, I do not know if money was missing and cannot vouch for any politician. But we do not have to ignore one missing money and face another missing money.

gists:
Par your last sentence - You are right, and i have always said this myself. The pdp and gej did not start religious divide in Nigeria. So in fairness, let no body accuse gej of bringing religious divide to this country. But, what we accuse gej for is that under this administration, the religious polarity in Nigeria has been pronounced to a whole new level that it has never been before. Similarly, pdp/gej did not bring insurgents to Nigeria, but under the present a$$holes occuping aso rock, insurgents has planted a flag on our country. Nigerian Army has never been the strongest in the world, but under this useless government, we see Nigerian army running away from war front (for the 1st time in history) to Cameroon and shamefully surrender their arms to show they meant no harm simply because they have been delibrately under equipped and funded. The list goes on and on. I am sure many unbiased and enlightened people can add and explain more.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You have every right to criticize the government for its performance or lack of it. But to make wild claims just because you do not belong to the ruling party either at state or at federal level just does not wash. I accept that this government has not performed to expectations. But no government in this country has ever done that. Every government faces its own challenged. But this same government has also done creditably well in some areas. Even Musa Kwakwanso in his presidential declaration speech acknowledged that and said that he would build on those achievements. Now, that is what politics should be. And that acknowledgement made me have a level of soft spot for him--as someone who is not his fan.

You see, if I begin to point out areas your party has failed in its flagship state, Lagos, you will marvel. Lets look at potable water. Why has Lagos, with all its money, been unable to provide water for the people of the state who pay heavy taxes. I hope you know that over 90 per cent of Lagosians 'generate' their own water--with many drinking from well. So, if your party cannot provide water for the people of Lagos how can it convince us that it will provide water for the generality of Nigerians.

Ever been to this areas: Ijaniki, Bariga, Ajamgbadi, Ikotun, Egbeda, Idimu, Ejigbo, Iyana Ipaja, Ayobo Ipaja, Ikorodu, etc. How are those areas? Why can't APC's midas touch extend to those areas? So, no government delivers all. And all our politicians are selfish. None is altruistic. To claim that any is will be openly standing the truth on its head.


Again, I disagree with this statement: "the religious polarity in Nigeria has been pronounced to a whole new level that it has never been before". My brother, the religious polarity in Nigeria has been as pronounced as ever. Let us not deceive ourselves. I am lucky to have lived in every geo-political zone of Nigeria-because of the nature of my job. I have also been to every state in Nigeria minus Bornu, Gombe, Adamawa, Taraba and Bayelsa. So, I can confidently tell you that Nigerians have always been conscious of their religion. However, I must acknowledge that the Southwest seems to tolerate religious more than others-clearly because they embraced Christianity and Islam almost equally. But to claim that there is no level of religious consciousness in the Southwest is also a fallacy.


Meanwhile, I give it to you for being a matured debater- at least with your response to my opinion. This is unlike many of your friends whose stock in trade is to insult voices of dissent.

Cheers!

leaders.

Note, Buhari was chosen based on
integrity & competency. So get ur facts right!!!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hehehehee: Insults, that is the trademark of Buharistans. He is a criminal coup plotter. He fully partook in the coup. Even if we assume that he was not part of the plot. In law, a receiver of stolen goods is a thief also. A man of integrity, would have rejected the offer, saying that it was illegal to overthrow an elected government. So, you see, he has no integrity but was overly ambitious. In any case, he was fully part of the coup, hence he was the chief beneficiary of the coup. You guys cannot spin this one.

One last thing: You can still make your point or counter another's point without insults. You cannot win people over to Buhari by throwing insults.

loopman:
PDP philosophy is the use of religion to divide Nigerians.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

PDP is not dividing Nigeria along religious lines. Nigeria has always been divided along religious lines. The APC presidential hopeful, Buhari, accentuated this division through his actions and rants over the years. Let's take a little look at history:

Muhammadu Buhari of the APC used Sharia to rise to political fame in 2000/2001. He was the one who advised Muslims to vote for those who will promote their religion: [http://allafrica.com/stories/200201210250.html]. He also called for Sharia in all states in Nigeria [http://allafrica.com/stories/200108270355.html]. These are indeed divisive comments.

Even the colonial masters saw the religious lines and allowed Islam to fester in the North. Ditto for the military governments. They recognised the differences in religion in the country, hence we had: Gowon/ Hassan Katsina; Murtala/Obasanjo; Obasanjo/ Yar'Adua; Babangida/Ukiwe and later Babangida Aikhomo; Abacha/Diya and later Abacha/ Akhigbe. Ironsi was was a special case because of how he came to power and he didn't last. In fact, it was your man, Buhari, who frowned at this, hence his second in command was a Northern Muslim, Tunde Idiagbon. Even in civilian regimes, it was so: Belewa/Zik, Shagari/Ekwueme; Obasanjo/Atiku and YarAdua/Jonathan. So saying that PDP divided you along religious line is a fallacy.

Did the PDP start the No Hijab, No vote issue in Lagos? Did PDP start the religious brouhaha in Osun Schools since the coming of Aregbesola?


Islamic riots in Nigeria date back to 1953 in Kano. In the 1970s and 80s we had the Maitatsine riots. In 1991 we had the Reinhard Bonke riots in Kano caused by Islamic intolerance. In 1995 Gideon Akaluka was Killed in Kano by Muslim fundamentalists. In 1999 Yerima led other Muslim governors to declare Sharia in nine Northern States, telling Christians that they were now in Muslim territories and must behave. Remember the Miss World Riots of 2002? What about the Danish (Mohammed) cartoon riots in 2005? We have seen the mayhem caused by Boko Haram since 2009. Each riot tells non-Muslim that they are not wanted in certain parts of the country.


So, division along religious has always been part of Nigeria. The PDP did not start it and will not end it.

May God deliver you from the spirit of insult.

Ignoramus. So it is a dofo like you that will explain to us that the money will not be paid in cash? We have been transacting business using e-payment mediums before you carry your empty head into the saTANs group.

-----------------------------------------------

Why can't you APC people do without insults? Is it in your DNA? Why can't you attack what I said. Though I may sound like a broken record but I will explain again. There is nothing paper money or electronic money about the loan. Money will no be given to government to buy the arms. Rather, Belarus will give Nigeria military hardware and we pay them within seven years. Senate committee chairman on Defence, Senator Ahmed Makarfi explained this in details. So, everything about the loan is in the public domain. If you choose not to believe, that is your cup of tea.

Learn how to make your point without insulting people.

PDP has been the one propagating falsehood everywhere. Is it the Buhari is Boko haram lies, or the recent Omisore declared winner crap, or the latest article they said Prof Wole Soyinka warn the north to stop bombing themselves. E.t.c

There is fire on the mountain, we have never been this seperated by religion and tribe ever in this country. Religious crisis will spell doom for this country, lets stop spreading hate everywhere, i don talk my own.

"we have never been this seperated by religion and tribe ever in this country"


This is a lie. On the contrary, we have always been. I will show you:

In 2001, Muhammadu Buhari used Sharia to rise to political fame. He advised Muslims to vote for those who will promote their religion: [http://allafrica.com/stories/200201210250.html]. He later called for Sharia in all states in Nigeria [http://allafrica.com/stories/200108270355.html]. These were divisive comments.


Islamic riots in Nigeria date back to 1953 in Kano. In the 1970s and 80s we had the Maitatsine riots. In 1991 we had the Reinhard Bonke riots in Kano caused by Islamic intolerance. In 1995 Gideon Akaluka was Killed in Kano by Muslim fundamentalists. In 1999 Yerima led other Muslim governors to declare Sharia in nine Northern States, telling Christians that they were now in Muslim territories and must behave. Remember the Miss World Riots of 2002? What about the Danish (Mohammed) cartoon riots in 2005? We have seen the mayhem caused by Boko Haram since 2009. Each religious riot tells you that you are from a particular religion.

On tribe, don't be naive. Many years ago, Awolowo described Nigeria as a 'mere geographical expression'. That is to say, these are different people with separate identity cobbled together. Haven't you seen the Youtube hate speeches of Ahmadu Bello in the 1960s as well as his writings on conquering Nigeria like his grandfather, Dan Fodio? What of Akintola's hate speeches in the 60s? Wasn't the civil war along tribal line?

Look, we can only manage the issues of tribe and religion and still be getting along. But to say that we have never been separated along those lines is fallacy.

APC Youth Leader: 43
PDP led Federal Government Youth MINISTER: 57

Perhaps, you do not know the age of your party's youth leader. His name is: Ibrahim Jalo and he is 52 years.

See: Jalo is 52, not 49, PDP tells APC [http://www.punchng.com/news/jalo-is-52-not-49-pdp-tells-apc/]



That of PDP is Abdullahi Hussaini Maibasari. He is 31. He was not born by 1983 when your principal, Major General Buhari led a group of scallywags to seize power illegally. Please, you should be abreast of current issues in your party.

Can you also tell us the ages of these APC chieftains:

Bisi Akande
Bola Tinubu
Ogbonnaya Onu
Ezekiel Izuogu
Cardinal Odumbako
Murtala Nyako
John Oyegun
APC navigator, Obasanjo
Tam David West
Pastor (Prof)Osinbajo
Isiaka Adeleke
Atiku Abubakar
Rotimi Fashakin



Thanks.

Can you please compare the age of the APC youth leader and that of the PDP. That way, we may know the party that truly has the youths at heart.

Propagandists at work. Even the Senate explained that the loan is not RAW CASH but for military hardware to be paid back in seven years. But Buharstans looking for what to write are here misleading the public. They will be the first to dish out propaganda. They will also be the first to complain.

Go back to the news of the loan approval by Senate and House of Reps you will see the explanation that it was not cash. So, this is another APCheat/Buhari dead on arrival propaganda.
