Reading Buhari's biography makes me come to a number of conclusions.

1. Buhari genuinely had the interest of the country at heart but his methods were crude. That passion for Nigeria surrounded with brains like fashola and Osinbajo makes a good combination.

2. He had a zero tolerance for corruption but was not as flexible as he could have been. Not surprising since he was a military head of state.

Nigeria needs a corruption fighter and Buhari fits the bill. Fortunately, he.has to do it under a democracy now.

GEJ has no plans for corruption.

3. Buhari will put the fear of God on corrupt officials. Sometimes, that reputation matters.

4. Buhari is imperfect but offers more than Jonathan.

Where is your own CERTIFICATE?

Can people stop giving excuse of it being a military regime? Was he the only military head of state? How come some weren't as cruel and ....... Like him?
Can we read peoples personality from regime. U can put a leopard under diff shades but it will never change its spot and no matter how much you wash it, it won't fade off.

Babyosisi you are my sister by geographical location but even you are not cutting it for me. In the USA where you are can a tenth of what is happening here in your homeland be tolerated? Someone would have been forced out or would have resigned. You sit behind your computer and talk ill of a man who in less than 2yrs of his stint as head of state brought back sanity to a land that was on its way to crazydom. Much of what you are complaining about here is the norm where you are in the states. Are your phone calls not being monitored in the US? Do you have absolute freedom of everything? The truth is that where there is no law there is no offense but in Nigeria even with laws offenses abound without consequences and you say kudos to Jonathan?

I was 15 yrs old at the time Buhari took over power on 31st december 1983 and i must say it was a grand new year gift and i loved it because immediate drastic measures where put in place to ensure Nigeria quickly got back to her feet. In those days my father made sure we always watched anything related to current affairs on NTA channel 10 and i always kept up with happenings. Only the fearful and corrupt would dread the return of Buhari but those who with open minds experienced it before would welcome him with open arms.

Many who never experienced his regime can only speculate. Nigeria was in chaos until Buhari came and now we are back in Chaos. Mass looting, Mass killings, massive corruption in broad daylight with impunity and even the C in C does nothing about it because obviously he encourages it since he also has his own skeletons of corruption in his closet. Imagine apportioning $2b to the office of the first lady which does not even exist and is not recognized by our constitution and you feel all is well?

Believe me when i say that Jonathan is hustling hard to return so that he can either clean up records of corruption that would indite him or he wishes to cover them up for as long as possible while he continues doing what he knows best per looting the nations treasury. I for one detest wrongdoing and its likes and will personally stand in the forefront and take a bullet in protest of such an act especially when multitudes are suffering because of 1 persons inadequacies.

You have always come across to me as being intelligent babyosisi...prove me right.

babyosisi:


The time he incited almajiris to waste the lives of innocents youth corpers and hundreds of others was also under a military regime.
Nigerians are so forgetful

babyosisi:


Buhari is also the man that started the unprecedented corruption of the police force with illegal detentions and harassment of citizens
Under Buhari the police could pretty much arrest and detain anyone they felt like
He gave them those powers
From that moment on the NPF has never been the same

My Summary: Buhari is a severely strict disciplinarian, who in his sojourn to cleanse and rid the country of corruption and indiscipline, did go overboard at times with his methods. Though a dictator, you can't fault his commitment.




Must read link if you really crave an insight http://www.gamji.com/article6000/news7202.htm


P.S. It will be noteworthy to chip in that, a large chunk of the excesses of those days were enforced by then Brig. General Tunde Idiagbon.

While it will also be perspicacious to allude to our law enforcement agencies penchant for egoistic aggressiveness. And this was the '80s', the general level of civilization/respect/courtesy/ exhibited by humans then, can't be compared to what obtains now. (e.g.) the kind of spanking I received from my dad then . . . put mildly no one does that anymore.

Anyway, I won't deny the fact he was too strict but one thing counts: he will fight corruption which has eaten so deep into the fabrics of activities in this country.

FreeGlobe:

if he couldn't end corruption in Nigeria as a dictator is it now that he will end it? APC logic upside down

Pedagogue:
Seun,

Thanks for beaming the searchlight on Buhari. You are a great 'JOURNALIST'.

But Seun, we will really appreciate if you can also use your 'journalistic talents' to beam a searchlight on the present government.

Or you don't consider it necessary for Nigerians to REMEMBER that:

1. The Chibok girls are still missing
2. That a dollar to naira is now 210.
3. That our hospitals are under locks and keys.
4. That universities were closed down for 6 months
5. Polytechnics were shut down for 11 months
6. Colleges of education were shut down for several months.
7. Oil theft is at an all time high.
8. Boko haram? They kill people everyday...Just check youtube if you have the heart!
9. Our international reputation? Gone to the dogs...
10. Corruption? Don't even go there! Billions now have wings...After all, Stealing is not corruption!!!

Seun, my point is: we know that Buhari is not perfect. He ruled with force as Head of State. He was ruthess...Yes, we know that!
But how do you expect a man who ruled as HEAD OF STATE to have ruled? It's a no-brainer!

Happily, there's something fantastic about the epistles from the US Library, and that is: BUHARI IS NOT CORRUPT!!! And believe me, he is all we need right now...

Sai Buhari!!!

Cheers
