1984 Declassified CIA Files Reveal Spot Shortage Of Rice Under Buhari Regime by Pro2makx(m): 4:33pm On Feb 07, 2017
A fresh analysis of declassified files of the United States of America’s Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) has shockingly revealed that there was shortage of food in Nigerians during the regime of General Muhammadu Buhari.

The CIA report analysed by NAIJ.com team noted that the military government had to resort to unconventional methods to try to drive down the price of food. It however did niot mention what plans the government put in place to correct the shortage of rice.

The report reads: “The regime has done little to make good on its plegde to revitalize the economy. Cost of food remain well above controlled price and spot shortages of rice and other staples have occurred.”

Rather than correct its policies, Buhari’s military government was also accused by the CIA report of using diversionary tactics to prevent people from noticing its failures.

"To divert attention from the economy, the regime continues to publicize corruption of former civilian officials.”

But soon, the CIA noted, Nigerians began to wise up to realise that they were being misled.

“There appears to be little sympathy for civilian officials, but the constant media attention also has raised embarrassing questions about the past financial dealings of Buhari and other members of his government.”

as it was in 1984, so it is in 2015-2017. both times, corruption was used to mask incompetence n cluelessness. i will not be surprise if in 30 years time, one con man comes on to package anoda empty brain dullard to decieve pipul about d need to fight corruption. those who fail to learn from history ar bound to repeat it.

Deja vu.

1984 = 2017

Chai, my people we have indeed entered one chance. This Buhari dude is so effing consistent in his ways so much so that 30 plus years later he's still using the same faulty template to rule Nigeria.

God help us all.
