Nobody was above the law during Buhari's regime. Fela was found wanting and was made to face the wrath of the law period.

guy u be bad man! Why u reason dat kin thing nw?? Make dem no do any testing nw ooo!!

Eziachi:
I thought Fela was unjustly convicted by Justices Anya and Justice Dosunmu?
When did Buhari becomes a high court judge?
And by the way, I thought it was Idiagbon that achieved everything and Buhari was only sitting down chewing gworo?
Why is the credit for jailing Fela not going to Idiagbon but Buhari?

So it was also wrong to blame Abacha for the killing of Saro Wiwa? Again it was wrong to accuse GEJ of favoring Ifeanyi Uba on Amcon release of COG since GEJ is not Amcon. I use to think old age is wisdom now I know I was wrong.

obioma go n sew cloths jor, if u need English lessons go n meet prof buhari, I heard he spit kood engrish.

Yes but at least he is proud of his accent. He doesn't pretend to be something he is not

I respect you a lot but be in tune with reality, I hate this your comment, did you watch her insult Op and kept quiet? Why defend her moments after? Because you support same party? That's not nice!

Not really! I don't think it is proper to respond with insult when correcting another person for insult. Get my point?

Be that as it may, wouldn't it be better to stop the person that started the insult? Why attack one party and leave the other, is that not bias?

de devil i kwn(GEJ) is better dan de angel(buhari) i dont knw




GEJ TILL 2019!

Actually Buhari is the devil we all know

noblezone:
Buhari was tyranny personified!

An over ambitious soldier who who led fellow rascals to destroy destinies!

Nigerians are hoodwinked that jailing people is the same as fighting corruption!

Buhari shed innocent blood just for the fun of it!

We must do what we have to do: Buhari must not smell that sit again!

but 'stealing is not corruption' Gej shuld? Nobody is calling Buhari a saint. So whatever dirt u fellas are able to dig up abt him wil be highly understandable. We aint luking an angel as President, jus some1 who wil apparently be in charge. Pronto!

now this got me scared..d guy should not dare o..d trumpet is working na me service am last week

It was wrong to blame Abacha for it was not Abacha that convicted and sentenced Ken Saro Wiwa, it was a military tribunal.

Shell was the real cullprits as it later transpired who carried out the murders and then bribed witnesses to frame Saro Wiwa

xo after all what he did to us that goat (buhari) still wnt us to vote him in...what do he take us 4

When General Muhammadu Buhari came to power, there was wide corruption in the Second Republic. A decree was passed that nobody take out or bring in foreign currency into the country. Offenders are liable to 10years in Jail. This decree was to curb money laundering by politicians and corrupt businessmen.

FELA KUTI
Fela had performed abroad, he was paid in foreign currency in cash and had it on him on his return to Lagos. He was subsequently arrested for breaking the law and was prosecuted, found guilty and jailed.

PLEA:
There was a plea by human right groups to Head of State Buhari to "pardon" Fela, he refused because he believe that the law be served to the letter.

THE OFFENSE, GMB AND FELA:
First, there was an existing law/decree.

Secondly, Fela bringing in cash means it contradicts the law/decree, however, the money is from hard work.
Morally, he's justified! Legally, he is not.

Buhari had refused to grant pardon, because the law was broken. If he grants pardon, some section of politicians will accuse him of preferential treatment. He didn't because he believes in absolute discipline.
By law, he is justified. Morally, he is not, considering that it was Fela's sweat(my opinion). The law does not work with emotion unfortunately.

MY OPINION:
GMB should have pardoned Fela. The law should have made for exception. Buhari should have tampered justice with mercy

if he had pardoned fellow,d actual corrupt people dat he ws trying to curb could exploit the avenue,for instance,dos days,it ws not only Fela that perform in show abroad and get paid,den all dos corrupt people could easily use those oda musicians or astist to bring in their money afterall,GMB will. Free d musician because,its his or her sweat.so.....GMB was 100 percent right by doing dat nd by d way I always saw Fela as someone who wanted a better Nigeria,with that acct he contrdicted himself

berem:
and the number one Buhari hater on Nairaland has moved the idiotic thread to front page.

Madam I have noticed how dumb and empty headed u are in politics section. You know nothing that's why I have never seen u argue constructively. U are so full of insults and please always keep silent if u have nothing meaningful to contribute other than insults. Illiterate.

berem:
Seun moved the thread to front page. I saw him viewing before he moved it. At a time when Nigerians are being killed almost on daily basis,this is the time Nigerians should reflect on the future of our beloved country,what has he done through his forum to unite Nigerians? Absolutely nothing!

Acidosis,I hope you get the research you are looking for since nairaland is now a place for you to do your research .


Nonsense!!

I don't think you should say this about Seun, someone who has strived to give you a platform to speak. If anything we should be grateful for that.
But then, I guess asking you to be rational would mean asking for too much.

Haba my brother her own is too much but if boko strikes she will be the first person to type and jubilate here. Other buhari sympathizers honestly try to argue out and proof their points but her own na straight to insults because she is a typical illiterate house wife. She be Heavy super olodo.

Because he was a nuisance.

Once in a while I get mildly frustrated by the juvenile delinquent crew/group on Nairaland and their antics and wish to just abandon ship.

It is posters like you, with eloquent posts (research) that makes it all worthwhile and I continue to soldier on.

Thank you for educating me on Nigerian history.

E no go better for buhari and all of his supporters

Interesting. If this thread was supposed to paint Buhari in a bad light, it failed miserably. This means that Buhari is a strict defender of the law, and that he has ZERO tolerance for law-breaking, no matter who you are.

This is coming from an avid Kuti superfan.

I would like to see a Nigeria where laws are more than just weak suggestions.
