Ibrahim Babangida Celebrates His 82nd Birthday Today by nlfpmod: 8:55am On Aug 17, 2023 |
Birthday: Ibrahim Babangida Turns 82 Today! Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida GCFR (born 17 August 1941) popularly known as IBB; nicknamed, "Maradona" or "The Evil Genius", is a retired Nigerian Army general who ruled the Federal Republic of Nigeria from 27 August 1985 until his resignation in August 1993. He served as Chairman of the Armed Forces Ruling Council from 1985 to 1993 and Chief of Army Staff from 1984 to 1985; going on to orchestrate his seizure of power in a palace coup d'Γ¨tat against Muhammadu Buhari. He rose through the ranks of the Nigerian Army fighting in the Nigerian Civil War and at various times being involved in all the military coups in Nigeria, before advancing to the full-rank of a General and ultimately as Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces; and as an unelected President and military strongman from 1985 to 1993, ruling for an uninterrupted period of eight years. His years in power, colloquially known as the Babangida Era, are considered one of the most controversial in the military history of the country, and characterized by a burgeoning political culture of corruption in Nigeria, with Babangida and his regime estimated at least 12 billion dollars (23.9 billion today). https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ibrahim_Babangida 15 Likes

Happy birthday to a great man, llnp I love how he respected his late wife by refusing to remarry just to honour her. If it's some men they'll immediately fill the home with different kind of women. 18 Likes 2 Shares |

One of Nigeria's greatest leaders. If not the greatest of them all. Theunbothered, Ayo2004. IBB was criticized by so many like you but when ever he gives his critics an opportunity to serve and prove their words, they fail woefully. A very good example is Prof. Taye Solarin. He couldn't even manage a ordinary bank meant for the masses, PEOPLE'S BANK. An advocate for the well being of the poor failed Babangida's test. What about Wole Soyinka? and lots more. Most people who criticize our leaders will fail woefully when given a minute portion to manage. Lol.. but some people will alway look for who to blame for their inefficiency. Babangida is not the reason you are living a miserable life. Point to one infrastructure today that Babangida is not a part of it. Is it Abuja? Third mainland bridge? I can go on and on. Babangida is the one that practically built Nigeria infastructurally, and institutionally. Till date, the election he conducted is still the best of them all. Food for thought. Happy Birthday sir. 21 Likes 2 Shares |

Happy birthday to the peoples general. The best military leader of modern Nigeria. 82 is just the beginning, your enemies will see you celebrate 100 years. Those who hated you for annulling a lopsided election are not supporting the most fraudulent one. Age gracefully my general. 8 Likes 2 Shares |
