Riba_man: I like ur assessment but will also like to add the following I was a grown up when Buhari seized power in 1984. The guy could not even speak English well. He was from he school of elite Hausa/fulani who thought ruling Nigeria was their birthright and the fact he still wants to rule almos 30 years later is a clear proof. Please tell me who Buhari has mentored that is a leader of thought in Nigeia today. He is a selfish, self serving brat. He came up with War Against Indispline and flogged people to stay in queues. That was a colonial era and sharia style mentality in display. Tell me, today we all stay in queues in banks and other places. Who whips us into queues? Nobody, because we dont need whip to stay in queues. We needed education and enlightenment and Buhari doesnt get it. He is from the school that believes the poor should not go to school so they can be ruled forever. It would have been a shame if a man in the calibre of Buhari rules us in 2011. A big shame. |

[size=18pt]23 March 1984 - ITN News BUHARI’S GOVERNMENT LAUNCHES “WAR AGAINST INDISCIPLINE”[/size] Nigeria's military government is stepping-up its campaign against corruption, mismanagement and indiscipline at all levels in Nigeria society. Preliminary hearings into corruption and abuse of office against former politicians and civil administrators have already begun and on March 21 the government launched its war against indiscipline. One of the first areas under attack is Illegal Street trading in the capital Lagos. The military government of Major-General Buhari has promulgated a decree forbidding the street trading, a major source of income for many thousands of Lagos people. Police have already begun arresting street vendors and confiscating their wares. The campaign is also designed to foster greater personal and social discipline with Nigerians being urged to queue for buses in an orderly fashion. The crackdown on indiscipline was announced by Brigadier Tunde Idiagbon, a member of the Nigerian Supreme Military Council. BRIGADIER TUNDE IDIAGBON: "I want you to bear in mind the need to emphasise self-discipline and leadership by good example. Begin by drawing public attention to little but important everyday manifestations of indiscipline such as rushing into buses, driving on the wrong side of the road, littering the streets, parks and dwelling compounds, cheating, taking undue advantage of scarcity to inflate prices for quick monetary gains, constituting ourselves into public nuisances, walking without commitment and devoting little or no time to the upbringing of our children. Up to this moment there has been no formal declaration of war against indiscipline, it is my pleasure therefore to declare today a launching day for the war against indiscipline." https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-693700.64.html |

Mallam Gen Buhari needs to seriously sell himself to all Nigerians so that we can stop seeing him as a tribalist and a religious fanatics. He should cover all the nooks and cranny of Nigeria to explain his agenda. He should also explain why there was selective developments during his tenure as the PTF Chairman. His comments during the election periods were incisive and led to the massacre of thousands of southerners by the Hausa/Fulani. Infact, he should just explain why he wants to become president despite all the odds against him. |
Re: Why Is Everybody Afraid Of Buhari's Presidency by Nobody: 2:36pm On Dec 06, 2011 |
^^[size=18pt]Buhari is not good at selling himself and is not a good orator.

[size=18pt]12TH APRIL 1984 - ITN NEWS BUHARI'S MILITARY TRIBUNAL MEMBERS SWORN IN TO PROSECUTE 500 DETAINED POLITICIANS, OFFICIALS AND OTHERS CHARGED WITH FINANCIAL FRAUD[/size] The swearing-in took place in Lagos on April 11 of members of Nigeria's special military tribunals which will try 475 detainees charged with financial misdemeanour. The military government, in power since a coup on December 31, 1983, arrested public officials and businessmen accused of diverting millions of dollars of public money under the previous civilian regime. The tribunal members, 20 military officers and five judges, were sworn in by Chief Justice Sodiende Sowemimo, and will begin their work around the end of April in five regional centres. When Major-General Mohammed Buhari came to power in the New Year's Eve coup, he promised a crackdown on public corruption as one way of solving Nigeria's economic crisis. In February, 1984, his government launched a "War against Indiscipline" to encourage a more efficient society. More recently, security forces in Lagos rounded up 6,000 suspected criminals, political extremists and illegal aliens. A drive is currently in progress to force down food prices through raids on shopkeepers and others suspected of hoarding food. TRANSCRIPT: NAVAL OFFICER: (SEQ 5) "I (name indistinct), affirm that as member of the special military tribunal in (indistinct) set up under the recovery of public property (special military tribunals) decree 1984 and 1984 Number 3, I will faithfully and impartially, and to the best of my ability discharge the duties devolving upon me under the tribunal, so help me God." https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-693700.64.html |

[size=18pt]30th April 1984 - ITN News BUHARI SCRAPS OLD NAIRA NOTES AND CIRCULATES NEW CURRENCY IN ORDER TO RENDER STOLEN / SMUGGLED CASH WORTHLESS.[/size] Nigerians waited in long queues outside banks in Lagos on April 25 to change old notes for new. Nigeria's decision to scrap its currency and start again with a new Naira marked a sudden stepping-up of the military government's attack on corruption. The government announced on April 24 that banks would start changing new notes for old the next day. Brigadier Tunde Idiagbon, who ranks second in the new administration, said in a national television broadcast that the country's land borders would be closed immediately in a move to render the old Naira worthless abroad. The changeover will extend to May 6.In that time people will be allowed to change up to 5,000 old Naira for new notes. Anything over that amount must be deposited in banks, accomplished by affidavits proving source and ownership -- another move to pinpoint corruption. Brigadier Idiagbon said the withdrawal of the old notes had become necessary because rampant smuggling of Naira had been a key factor in the sabotage of the Nigerian economy. He said that hundreds of thousands of Naira had been found in the homes of several former state governors after the civilian government was ousted on December 31 last year. (remember in 1984 1Naira fetched more than 1 dollar) Since April 25, bank officials have been trying to move the new money across the counters as fast as they were receiving it, but many have complained that people were forced to queue for hours outside banks which had run out of money to distribute. https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-693700.64.html |

[size=18pt]18 June 1984 - ITN News GENERAL BUHARI LAUNCHES ALL-OUT DRIVE AGAINST CORRUPTION.[/size] After months of indecision the military rulers of Nigeria have launched a major crack-down on corruption and indiscipline. Decrees have been issued by the government of Major General Mohammed Buhari curbing the country's press and threatening with jail any adult Nigerian who has held foreign currency over the past five years. The government of the oil-rich country of 80 to 100 million people, has announced a campaign against disorderliness, inefficiency, sloth and disregard for hard work. It has also empanelled military tribunals to try deposed civilian office holders accused of corruption. The campaign seems to have achieved an initial degree of popular acceptance but there has been widespread criticism of the military tribunals holding hearings in secret. https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-693700.96.html |

[size=18pt]8th May 1984 - The NY Times Buhari announces plans for hefty cuts in government spending and reduction of imports[/size] LAGOS, May 7— Nigeria's military head of state, Maj. Gen. Mohammed Buhari, announced a tough austerity budget today for 1984 featuring hefty cuts in Government spending, higher interest rates and cuts in credit growth. General Buhari said in a nationwide broadcast that Government spending this year would be cut by 15 percent from a budget presented by the ousted civilian Government only two days before its overthrow on New Year's Eve. He said the Government would continue to try to cut imports, while giving priority to raw materials and spare parts for industry and agriculture, to reduce the country's balance of payments deficit. General Buhari also said the Government would make every effort to keep oil production, which accounts for more than 90 percent of foreign exchange, up to the 1.3-million-barrels- a-day quota set by the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries. https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-693700.96.html |

The corrupt politicians will not allow him. What they do is to paint the man black before Nigerians on ethnic and religious propaganda and "a looter" continua. And the religious leaders are being used to condemn Buhari that he is an antichrist but the real reason is that some of these religious leaders are are partners in corruption with these corrupt politicians. |

Notwithstanding Ayatollah Buhari Bin Laden's PUBLIC threats of election violence if he lost his 15th straight presidential bid, and the subsequent massacre of civilians and election officials by his hired mobs, Buhari is not at all feared but just despised, ridiculed and pitied in equal measure, for he is indeed clinically insane, and certainly not capable of any leadership role that would take him outside his own residential toilet facility. Nigerians, and more importantly the international community, will NEVER permit a murderous Islamic fundamentalist fugitive from justice like Ayatollah Buhari Bin Laden to indulge his mad dictatorship fantasies and delusions. |

Before I go any further, can you please check who was Minister for Petroleum during the missing 2.8 Billion Naira saga? Also who served under the Abacha regime as head of PTF? For one, anybody who served under Abacha has to be a rogue. |
