Despite a smart US consultancy service running the APC campaign, it's now obvious that B.u.h.a.r.i is an impossible sell to Nigerians. Imagine what could have happened to GEJ re-election bid if they had been smart enough to chose someone like Tambuwal, Amechi, or even Kwankwso who didn't have Buhari's baggage on their shoulders? 2 Likes 1 Share |

Buhari took democracy in Nigeria back 20years after the Coup of 83'. Corruption or not, the beauty of democracy is in the right of the majority, not the armed, to select and remove their leaders. Buhari stole that right from millions of Nigerians when he thwarted our democracy. He should have waited for Nigerians to remove Shagari through the ballot box. Who knows, if Buhari hadn't seized power and suspended our democracy, we'd have had the chance to select better leaders at the polls and our democratic institutions would have had a solid foundation right from the 80's. And instead of apologising, he's still adamant that he did nothing wrong. 4 Likes 1 Share |

ichidodo: WE KNOW OUR HISTORY. Buhari took over nigeria in d worst economic recession in our history. d thieving politicians of d NPN d ancestor of d current PDP looted d nation to bankruptcy to d extent dat no one would borrow d heavily indebted Nigeria any more money. There was no food, no money. Soap, milk, sugar etc popularly called essential commodities disappeared from d shelves just like in Zimbabwe. d federal govt could not pay staff salaries. Few states were able to apply d IMO FORMULA - (half salary) pioneered by Kalu Idika Kalu d then Imo state comm 4 finance. Multinationals like kingsway, UTC, PZ etc left d country. Daily more people became unemployed. In short d economy collapsed. When GMB took over he paid a huge part of d external debt incurred by d thieving politicians, d rest of which OBJ paid recently . He rejected d IMF loan & its slavish conditionalities. He refused to devalue d naira & thru economic ingenuity he kept d inflationary rate between 3-5% & d exchange rate at $1 to 1 naira. He reversed d rot of d Shagari years & made d economy & d country buoyant again. He did it b4, he will do it again. 3 Likes |

Oga Seun, you of all people talking about democracy? You should be Buhari's biggest supporter. Nairaland is dictatorial in nature No Freedom Of Speech (our words are being censored) There is even a cabal responsible for FP-worthy topics.... And people are banned brazenly without the option of trial or self defense ![]() I don't think the ideals of this site are much different from that of a military rule.....

Goodluck has fallen short in many ways but IMO making buhari is a step backwards- An unrepentant ex dictator who sacked a democratic govt A barely literate man(his major education is warfare) A man who threatens violence all the time. After all the hope we had in a formidable opposition unseating this govt, their best candidate turns out to be buhari. 2 Likes 1 Share

Has Buhari apologized for raiding Papa Awolowo’s house and seizing his passport so he couldn’t travel out of the country ?? Has Buhari apologized for throwing VP Alex Ekwueme in jail even though it was proven that Ekwueme DID NOT steal ?? What reason did Buhari have for jailing Ojukwu in 1984? Ojukwu was not in Shagari’s govt and he did not steal! ?? What reason did Buhari have for jailing honest Pa Michael Adekunle Ajasin, who did not steal as Ondo State Gov ?? Why did Buhari jail Fela Kuti in 1984? What was Fela’s crime? Singing against military govt ?? 3 Likes 1 Share |

duni04:*singing* story for the gods, the gods o. First off, how many times will they tell you Government students that Buhari was not the man who led the coup? Why do you all keep blaming Buhari for this coup? The army plotted the militay coup and Buhari who was in Jos when it occurred, was called upon to fill a role he wasn't meant to occupy.....a lot like the story of Jonah today. The person slated to take the role (the main person who led the coup), Boro, was killed in action....so stop blaming Buhari for your woes |

babadee1: MAYBE U SHOULD READ BETWEEN THE LINES OF MY STATEMENTS.....U TAG THAT CUBAN AND NORTH KOREAN ELECTIONS DEMOCRACY.....EVEN YOU LINKSM THANKS TO MY NUDGE, CONFIRMS MY POSITION Criticism[edit] The elections have been variously described as show elections, a type of veto election,[citation needed] or a political census.[8] Seats are uncontested (or alternatively, uncompetitive) as all candidates are chosen and won by the Democratic Front for the Reunification of the Fatherland.[3][5][7] A voter may cross off the candidate's name to vote against him, but must do so in a special booth without any secrecy; according to many North Korean defectors, such an act of defiance is too risky to even attempt.[6] |

That was an era of coup plotting to correct failing democracy, a few years before Buhari took over in Nigeria, Jerry Rawlings plotted a coup in Ghana, killing a lot of corrupt Ghanian leaders. There was no guarantee Nigerians democracy would have been better than it is currently, infact there are several african countries that have sustained democracy for so long, and are near failed state. |

Seun: I knew you would say that. If you have a philosophical objection to coups in general then you have to remain consistent, otherwise you cease to be objective. I could make the argument that Shagari's government had about as much legitimacy as Gowon's. The 1983 election was arguably the most flawed in Nigeria's history. Simply being sworn in after a supposed set of elections is not enough to confer the status of being democratic to any government. Shagari's government was not democratic, it was civilian. We have not yet had a truly democratic government in Nigeria but hopefully soon we will. 2 Likes |

Buhari and his followers don't know what they are saying. trying to justify their evil action with the so called anti corruption posture. I challenge anyone to analyse the various state governments at that time. at least the southern Nigeria. their legacies still remains till today. what would Midwest be like if Ambrose Alli remained, the roads and institutions he built remains till today. Same for Sam Mbakwe, Olabanjo etc. only simpletons will fall for this pseudo anti corruption noise we hear. Nigeria's be wise. there is a clandestine operation to destroy this country. 1 Like |
