And Buhari wept.

HONESTLY SPEAKING THE MAN IS FOR CHANGE. WE NEED HIM NOWWWWW

I totally agree with u!!! the hard faced rigid General has turned into a crying old stage performer! thats proof of change mehn!

May be he is reminiscing on the people that were executed in his regime. suddenly remembering the gun shots that were fired into their heads, the old man broke into tears of sorrow for sins he committed against humanity.

Well, for those of us that are pro BB, I thought the BB ship was sailing on the coast to victory on the platform of honesty and promise to fight corruption. why now are they trying to spoil that good will by trying to synergize with the Asiwaju company of Nigeria (ACN) a company notoriously run by a man who is hunted for corruption. So one might be compelled to ask, Where is the so called Honesty?

Well, the report is not true. The new one was bought so as to carry more mission materials for their African missions. The older one could not carry much stuff because it was smaller. The mission does not have four jets on ground. The new was traded for the old one, so they only have one jet, which is new because they traded the old one. The reason the writer will claim there are four jets is because over time the man this is the fourth time he is purchasing a private aircraft. I have my personal reservations about these things, [b]but I do not believing in spreading fallacies to discredit a person's personality. We should learn to balance things out. When you also consider that he also has over 800 students under his personal scholarship, personally sponsoring some science and tech projects, building an HIV/AIDS research center in an African country, established a fund for budding entrepreneurs, among several other thing[/b]s, you may perhaps want to read more before we slash and burn. So people are far more educated than to swallow stories like this without recourse to practical detail that contextualizes issue

Are u the accounts manager? how come its only you that knows about these scholarship? Are u also in the Projects and scholarship department?

my problem is that we have a lot of destitute homes, motherless babies homes etc. why don't these so called men of God use these monies to reach out to the poor and needy. The claim to be followers of Christ but we all know that Christ never lived a rich, talk more of an extravagant life. rather than give a helping hand to the destitute homes, the church still taxes its members to make donations outside offerings and tithes, to the poor and needy yet they are busy buying jets. not just jets but luxurious jets and hangers (under construction).

In spite of blurred ideological positions, I place the CPC as a far right grouping as will inevitably be manifest if it attains power at the federal or state levels. All power is vested in a shadowy, unelected Board of Trustees populated by Buhari’s inner core and it is inconceivable that anyone challenge Buhari, Hamma and Galadinma within the party. None of these three individuals has sterling democratic credentials! The CPC’s manifesto includes some promises-devolution of power to states and local governments; removal of constitutional immunity from public officers; transparency and accountability; a target of 10 percent minimum annual GDP growth; modernisation of agriculture; and investments in infrastructure, amongst others. However the manifesto resembles a laundry list of “attractive” promises with little enunciation of how they will be achieved. Nevertheless the existence of such commitments is a fair start


in 1983, Buhari/Idiagbon became famous for coming down heavily against the Nigerian press, making the report of truth a very serious offence in the country, not many will for get the terrible situation of Tunde Thompson and Nduka Irabor of the Guardian who were imprisoned for making a report on the Government. The Buhari/Idiagbon regime also executed Bernard Ogedengbe, Bartholomew Owoh and Lawal Ojulope for an offence committed by them as alleged by the regime after a national debate in spite of public pleas, the execution of these gentlemen were made possible by a retroactive decree courtesy of Buhari/Idiagbon regime.


Buhari and his Deputy would again promulgate another Decree called Decree Number two (DN2) of 1984 which made it possible for Tunde Idiagbon to detain anybody whether such person is a citizen of the country or foreigner, this decree stripped the court of law of the powers to challenge the reason why such person is being detained. In essence, the decree did not recognize the significance of the judiciary but was merely interested in achieving its aims of dictatorial tendencies. In what would later follow, the world became amused to hear the verdicts of 125 years imprisonments handed down to the regime suspects.

Buhari was also noted to have utilized excessive force in handling drug peddlers caught, as he issued death penalties to them in what political commentators believed should not have attracted death sentences, still death was the fate of several of these suspects in laws that resembled that of Saudi Arabia and other Arab nations.

The tactics of the Buhari/Idiagbon regime became too harsh for the survival of the people, with arbitrary creation of decrees to lead the regime but promulgated to harshly lure the Nigerian public into playing into the waiting ready-made hand of the regime. Victims who became preys of these draconian decrees were mostly detained and made to remain inside prisons for as many years as Buhari and Idiagbon pleased

the Buhari regime purged the uppermost echelon of the Armed Forces, retiring all officers of the rank of Major General equivalent or above at the time of the coup. But that was not all. Some lower ranking officers, including Captain M Bala Shagari, the former President's son were also retired. In time to come his junior brother, Musa, would also be thrown out of the AirForce Secondary School in Jos. Buhari detained most political leaders of the Second Republic, accusing them of indiscipline and profligacy.

The State Security (Detention of Persons) Decree Number 2 of 1984 gave the Chief of Staff, Supreme Headquarters (Major General Idiagbon) the power to detain anyone labelled a security risk for up to six months without trial. Decree Number 4 of 1984 was promulgated to prevent journalists from reporting news that could potentially embarrass government officials, Some high visibility special interest groups, including the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) and Nigerian Medical Association (NMA), ran a foul of the government and were outlawed. The Labour Congress was banned from undertaking strike action.

In July 1984, in what was clearly a high risk move, the Buhari government - allegedly assisted by Israeli intelligence - unsuccessfully attempted to kidnap Alhaji Umaru Dikko, self-exiled 2nd republic Transportation Minister, from a flat in London. He was grabbed while taking a stroll, bundled into a van, intubated and placed on ventilator support supervised by an Israeli anesthesiologist, then placed into a crate and taken to Stansted airport outside London. Just before embarkation on a Lagos bound cargo plane suspicious British Police and customs officers - already alerted by Dikko's assistant who witnessed the kidnap from her window - aborted the heist. The incident created a diplomatic storm and even resulted in tit-for-tat seizures of Nigerian and British Airways aircraft in London and Lagos. High Commissioners to both countries were withdrawn - and were not reinstated until February 1986.

To address economic issues, Buhari introduced austerity measures. He closed the country's borders - which were not reopened until March 1st, 1986 - and expelled illegal aliens. Severe limitations were placed on imports. Smuggling and foreign exchange offenses were viewed as acts of economic sabotage - with severe penalties. Unfortunately, accompanied by high inflation, these measures made business onerous for import-dependent local businesses. Many workers were retrenched in the public and private sectors at a time prices of elementary food items, caused in part by famine, were rising.

Separately, the Buhari government - or agents purportedly acting on its behalf - humiliated several important personalities and opinion leaders in the country. The O'oni of Ife and Emir of Kano were publicly cautioned and restricted to their domains after they paid a visit to Israel, a country with which Nigeria did not have diplomatic relations at the time, dating back to OAU actions in solidarity with Egypt during the 1983 Arab-Israeli war. A team of soldiers was sent to the Park Lane residence of Chief Awolowo in Apapa where they proceeded to ransack the premises, searching for nothing in particular. Sheikh Mahmoud Gumi, a reverred moslem cleric, was allegedly removed from chairmanship of the Nigerian Pilgrims Board, his salary terminated and official car impounded - ostensibly because he disagreed with the decision to execute cocaine traffickers.


There's this popular saying that
'You can take a man out of the ghetto but you can't take the ghetto out of the man"

I have found saying relevant because it applies beyond the context of "ghetto" to other facets of life.

THINK BEFORE YOU VOTE.

Usual pdp supporters, never accepting defeat in the face of it, they will rather start spitting rubbish

The point is that the places captured are popular traffic congested areas and if you take a look at one of the pics where Buhari is seated on the stage, the Arena is empty so why are these people jumping up and down NL, posting pics that don't translate into votes.

you guys should not be deceived! Buhari cannot and will never win lagos in the coming election. NEVER!!

Please most of the pictures that you are posting are from popular busy areas in lagos. the likes of yaba, Idumota, cele under bridge, oshodi, mile2, mile12 etc so this does not in any way depict a picture of supporters. lets see the once from inside stadium or Tbs pls! and from what we can see from the pic above, the arena is empty!

Facebook na polling center? abi na for Facebook we go vote?

abeg, make una enlarge the photos naaaa!!!!!!

Sorry, the picture can not be enlarged further. REASON: Insufficient crowd

Hiya! Are these nincompoops still campaigning for Ohakim?

All u Ohakim die hard followers (TochukwuC, andrewnwa, Arinzee et al) we will never take your statements seriously unless we hear from true and unbiased imos' cos there's no doubt that u guys have been compromised.

^^^why wouldn't you know or have you lost contact with your fellow Buhari devotees

@TochukwuC

Please do we have to go to websites or links to see what is happening in our state? I wouldn't be surprised if Ohakim has Photoshopped our beloved Imo state on the web to make it look like what it is not to people outside. Do you also have the links to those of Lagos and Port Harcourt? I'm sure you don't cos over there, people testify for the governors not web links.

Ohakim knows he can't win by free&fair election (even through rigging) that's why he's on his knees begging (through the monarchs in Imo) for zoning to be respected. where was he when Atiku did the same. (Busy stealing imo's money I guess)

Democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government

Yes! Buhari thought of that too! that is why he toppled shagari's Govt via a military coup cos he doesn't believe in human rights and democracy.

This nations have progressed

Which nations please?

hmmmmmmmm from 'sai Buhari its nose-diving to 'chei Buhari'.

Please which party is Ohakim and which party is OBJ? ok, let me rephrase, what else did expect OBJ to say of his fellow party armedrobber member?

Una no dey tire?!!! Ohakim and his followers are not just smart.

you guys are retards,Buhari was in Port Harcourt ,Bayelsa, Benin city , Ibadan, Enugu and many more to come including the big one in Lagos.

we can really see who the r.e.t.a.r.d is here when news has it that Buhari ended his campaign in Kastina yesterday.

Meanwhile, if u guyz said he was in those parts of the east&south, how come we didn't see pictures of the mammoth crowd that some people were flocking NL with? Does it also mean that Buhari has little or no support from those areas?

money

Just curious to know because I didn't hear or maybe it did not make much impact.

You must be the most foolish person for branding Ohakim as the most hated Governor in Nigeria

.

Because Ohakim happens to be the only governor that majority of his state populace wants to vote out of office.

what are your qualifications and what do you know about governance.

Same question can be directed back to you cos u have not so far proved to be knowledgeable in same area (only fighting people who disagree with ur view)

i believe you cannot even control the affairs in your immediate home

.

and I beleive that u cannot manage ur temper on the internet talk more of ur home.

shut your mouth. Vote Ohakim.

sorry to disappoint You (no b by force)

Am sure u did not watch the interview SAME-THING

Same thing ke, did u watch it on ur radio?
