Can he also explain why he jailed ekwueme and put shagari under house arrest

Was there any other person who was under house arrest apart from the President?

$56, 000 was found in Ekweme's House, an Igbo man
he
was jailed

before you say he jail only Christian and other tribe


There were dozens of former governors, ministers,
business
people of Muslim Hausa-Fulani origin who were
similarly
jailed
by the Buhari regime. Just a few examples:
1. Umar Dikko, a Muslim Hausa Fulani scion and
arguably the
most influential northern politician at the time, was
unprecedentedly pursued up to his UK hiding place,
abducted by
the Nigerian security agents, bundled and literally
'boxed' and
almost got smuggled back to Nigeria - to account
for
his alleged
corruption during the Shagari regime.
2. Isyaku Rabiu, arguably one of the richest ever
Hausa
Fulani
businessmen, and one of the most highly respected
Islamic
scholars as well (he is indeed one of the leading
Tijaniyya
Sheikhs in West Africa), was not only thrown to jail
at
the time
but even got one of his legs reportedly broken by
the
security
agents in the process of his arrest, probably after
his
hundreds
of supported tried to prevent him from being
arrested.
3. Another super-rich northern businessman in
Kaduna,
late A
Haruna Dan-ja, also a Muslim Hausa Fulani, was
equally
arrested and thrown into jail (both Sheikh Isyaku
Rabiu
and
Danja were allegedly implicated in corrupt practices
that
were
considered harmful to the national economy, such
as
misuse of
import licences, hoarding of essential commodities,
etc.).
4. Late Sabo Bakin Zuwa, a former governor of Kano
state, was
sentenced to 300 years in jail WITH HARD LABOUR
by a
Kaduna
military tribunal, after which he was rumoured to
have
'begged'
the tribunal for more years, saying that 'mere 300
years'
were not
enough! LOL
5. A prominent businessman of Katsina origin, a
Hausa-
Fulani
Muslim, who had been allegedly aiding and abetting
cross-
border smuggling between Nigeria and Niger for
many
years prior
to the coming of the Buhari regime, and who was so
well
connected in the country, had to hide in the ceiling
of
his house
when security agents swooped his home in the dead
hours of the
night; they evacuated all his family members and
spent
hours
looking for him. He eventually had to run to the
Republic of Niger
where he took refuge!
6. A very influential former ambassador of Kaduna
state
origin, a
Hausa Muslim, is STILL living in the capital of a
Western
country,
apparently too traumatized and frightened to return
to
Nigeria,
having been implicated in a massive corruption case
back then.
Like in the cases of Southern politicians, almost all
of
the
northern Hausa-Fulani politicians jailed during
Buhari
regime
were NEVER FREED until AFTER the Buhari regime
was
overthrown. The fugitives among them also never
returned until
after the overthrow of the Buhari's government (a
few
never
returned to date!). Whoever is old, enlightened and
honest
enough should know all this, as it was very much a
public
knowledge.
In fact, immediately after the ouster of the Buhari
regime,
hundreds of friends, relatives and business
associates of
Sheikh
Isyaku Rabiu trooped to his Kano residence and
started
frenzied
celebrations and special prayers in anticipation of
the
release of
their billionaire Sheikh.
What many people in the South do not seem to know
is
the fact
that the corrupt among the Hausa Fulani Muslim
elite
hate and
fear a Buhari government as much as the Christian
bigots and
tribalists would hate it, but for different reasons.
While
the latter
group hate Buhari for nothing other than sheer
religious
bigotry
and incurable tribalism, the former fear the general
because they
know very well that it would never be business as
usual
for them
under a Buhari-led government -

Don't mind them .

The so called Buhari as part of his tribalistic practices, placed President Shagari under house arrest inside a palatia mansion in Ikoyi, while he

locked up Shagari's Vice, Alex Ekwueme in Kirikiri Prison.

Shagari is Hausa/Fulani like him while Alex Ekwueme is an Igboman. If Buhari is the last option, we berra stay without a President.

Is this not the case of the kettle ...

Hi all, I usually advice that facts should drive conversations. I am not an expert in construction but the 35k kms road network sounded too low for a country like ours.

I checked google and one site says 200k kms and another says 100k

The truth is as many other things in Nigeria, we probably do not have the accurate information.

In my opinion 35k kms is too low to be the total paved road network while the 100k kms tarred by GMB may be exaggerated...what do you know really either may be right!

Google is your friend!

Highways[edit]
Nigeria has the largest road network in West Africa and the second largest south of the Sahara, with roughly 108,000 km of surfaced roads in 1990. However they are poorly maintained and are often cited as a cause for the country’s high rate of traffic fatalities. In 2004 Nigeria’s Federal Roads Maintenance Agency (FERMA) began to patch the 32,000-kilometre federal roads network, and in 2005 FERMA initiated a more substantial rehabilitation. The rainy season and poor equipment pose challenges to road maintenance.[1]

Figures from CIA World Factbook (1999):
Total: 194,394 km
paved: 60,068 km (including 1,194 km of expressways)
unpaved: 134,326 km (1998 est.)
note: Some paved roads have lost their asphalt surface and are in very poor condition or have reverted to being gravel roads. Some of the road system is barely usable, especially in high rainfall areas of the south.

Roads - total network (km) in Nigeria
Total road network includes motorways, highways, and main or national roads, secondary or regional roads, and all other roads in a country. A motorway is a road designed and built for motor traffic that separates the traffic flowing in opposite directions.This page has the latest values, historical data, forecasts, charts, statistics, an economic calendar and news for Roads - total network (km) in Nigeria.

Like seriously......is that the new phrase you just learnt..

MalcoImX:
Would Buhari, El-Rufai, Kwankwaso, etc. agree to attend Almajiri schools, given the other alternative?

That I don't know

When one becomes desperate, one can say or do anything just to achieve one's desired outcome.

HzRF:

That I don't know

Fair enough! Then, would they enrol any almajiri they know into Almajiri schools?

Buhari is living a lying life
