Why I Wept Openly For Nigeria – Buhari by youngies(m): 7:12am On Jun 01, 2012 |
A former Head of State, Major-General Muhammadu Buhari (retd), has said the appalling state of Nigeria and the hardship of the citizens in the midst of abundance compelled him to weep openly for the nation in 2011. Buhari said this while addressing journalists during his visit to the headquarters of his political party, the Congress for Progressive Change at Utako in Abuja on Thursday. Buhari, who was the CPC’s presidential candidate in the 2011 election, said he wept when he looked at the way the country was blessed by God, but its citizens were poor. He said, “This is a country that is well-blessed both materially and otherwise. God has blessed us more than we expected. We have so much land for agriculture. “But majority of Nigerians can’t send their children to school, can’t afford medicine for their children, and no potable water to drink. Where does the money go to? “This was why I broke down when I was rounding off up my presidential campaign in 2011.” Buhari added that he became a democrat when the old Soviet Union collapsed in 1991, a development he said changed his political belief. “That was the time I became a democrat because I believed that democratic system is superior to any form of governance. Otherwise how can an empire collapse like that,” he said. He took a swipe at the one year old regime of President Goodluck Jonathan and declared that the country was retrogressing. He argued that with the level of corruption in the country and the poverty level of majority of Nigerians, there was nothing to show that the country was moving forward. Buhari said, “From the level of exporter we have moved to the level of importer of oil? Are you surprised? All the infrastructure were allowed to die and decay. “And now they say they want to remove subsidy. I was there when the refineries were built with Nigeria money and we didn’t borrow any kobo to do that. “Now we have ended up buying fuel from the world market. I believe that God will punish those who have perpetuate corruption in this country and put us where we are today. “I think we are reversing. With what is happening in the petroleum industry and all the corruption, we are reversing. You know about the pension scam?” More: http://channelkoos.com/index.php/news/1674-why-i-wept-openly-for-nigeria--buhari |

Lot of comments in this forum , i just smile because most Nigerians no longer read history books. the Major issues we have in Nigeria is Media Houses , Police , Nigerians youths , PDP and Politicians , Ministry of Justice and Nigeria Banks. Buhari was a man of integrity that's why no body has being able to hold him down to what ever crime we claim he has committed , the thing is people feel that the south south is a must be presidency because of the oil revenue and what i feel is its leading Nigeria to no return. Why cant this government concentrate on one thing and perfect it and leave the rest to the next elected candidate . GEJ wants to make sure we have power , Wants to do road , wants to fight corruption , Even God didn't build this world in a day , and said we can be like him which means GEJ should focus on one power or road or corruption and face it squarely...because he would end up like OBJ at the end of the day noting good comes out. God bless my Nation Nigeria 2 Likes |

shedding crocodile tears. The problem with voting Buhari is that he is too fanatic. That is why his people like him. He believes everyone not a northern muslim a is ''kafir'' ''arna'' and whatever. As far as he is concerned, he can win the vote with only the votes of northerners, ppl from SE/SW/SS are not majority. |

There is nothing wrong with nurturing a delusion or two, and Buhari does like to describe his hallucinations, which will certainly keep us all entertained until that Predator drone lights him up with a high explosive warhead. |

I dont know how majority of people in this NL think,the country is already in shamble,I dont understand why some people believe they are BORN TO SUFFER.Can we think twice, and make a resolute that nigeria must not remain like this.What can you pick to describe your country as your pride!Nothing,nothing is working .However there is someone that can still turn it around or resusitate it back,it s Buhari,with his principles and toughness,nigeria can still bounce back.Vote Buhari for 2015. |

Boko Haram, according to the NATIONAL SECURITY ADVISER, is PDP Sylva, A PDP governor, said he would mobilise boko haram to Bayelsa State The only person being tried for sponsoring terrorism is a serving PDP senator Those who promised Nigeria "hell" if they lost out in the run-up to the elections are ALL PDP! Vice President Sambo has also being linked to PDP Monsignor Presido himself has openly said he is eating with & surrounded by boko haram sponsors! Yet ethnicity, religion, sentiments against the north and inordinately high level of idiocy & myopia has many people here blaming the exact opposite of PDP for boko haram! I pray you all reap the fruits of this from PDP! 1 Like |
