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 ??

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]

Lolz... And I come think say you dey support me. You be pro-GMB?

Seun:
From his recent Channels TV Interview:

Are you sorry for bringing to an end the Shagari government?

GMB: No, I'm not sorry, because I mentioned why we did it, and we proved our case.

That's a democratic process that could have extended.

GMB: So when you are a democracy you are entitled to steal your treasury dry, and put your people into pauperized positions, and destroy institutions, and destroy infrastructure?

So you blame Shagari for that coup?

GMB: Don't personalize. I'll blame the second republic...

For that?

GMB: For that. And when we came out we told the nation why and we conducted enquiries, documentary ones, not just hearsay.

So he still believes it is ok for the military to overthrow a democratic government if the democratic government is corrupt. Incidentally, many people believe that the current government is also corrupt. If the General's view is right, then a military coup in 2015 is justified...

Do you agree? (I strongly disagree because dictatorship is a greater evil than corruption. You can fight corruption within democracy)

u so unstable madam@safarigal

Lakeshizu:

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.
sourxe barcanista

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

Kolade354:
fu?koff you bloddy idi*t the last time i check the nigeria constituition i have the right to support who I believe will take nigeria to a greater height............silly goat.

Why do we act and speak as if Democracy solves all the Problems of a Country? What do we really want as People? An all round improvement in Standard of Living or just an Avenue to bicker? The Chinese have transcended beyond US Democracy to mould a Unique system of Govt that suits her people and has successfully used this model to move from a 3rd world Country to an Advanced Country!!!

A Country's Military is her 4th Tier of Govt and the ultimate Protector of the State (not Regime please)! In a Situation where the Regime turns on its people, who comes to their Rescue? (Romania under Ceausescu, Egypt under Mubarak/Morsi, etc) indeed this role has been abused severally and lost its appeal over the years, it is still a viable option for Liberation of the Citizenry, if not, they will resolve to take Arms against the Regime themselves and Chaos will prevail (eg Libya, Yemen, Syria etc)

So YES! Massive Corruption and Govt Apathy towards her Citizen justifies an Intervention! Afterall, Foreign Govts today are planning to occupy our territory on the premise that our govt cannot protect its people, how much more the Army whose statutory role it is to protect the State and all within it!

fkaz:
Buhari step him because they want to milk nigeria dry during shagari regime due to corruption and he is stepping in 2015 again to stop jonathan from milking nigeria dry. Thank God we have somebody like Buhari who will come to the resque, Nigeria major problem is corruption and that is one reason he sight for taking over the govt.

I will say a big YES

Mrbigman1:


Hope u ve an idea that buhari contested for 199 primaries under pdp which Obj eventually won.
Now ask ur self, what was he going to rescue den? D money him and is co-hunters abacha made away with abi d one dey allowed abdulsami to ship with impunity? He'll no, buhari is only so hungry for power like his the only one born to be dia.
In 1984, he detained underage children and kept dem in custody to be persecuted at 18, and that's d way to fight corruption?
It's a shame that we re just driven by sentiment and hatred without finding real course to hold on to. I dnt support any of them but buhari can't just be to trust in

ichidodo:
Trash...This propaganda will not work because Buhari's tenure saw the first devaluation of the naira....the first time Nigeria started IMPORTING FUEL...Let us leave the austerity measures, cancelled railway contracts for lagosians, rural electirification and pipe borne water systems in the south for another day...
for a second we thought you was gonna mention refineries he built in his dreams...

imag5:
Hmmm

safarigal:
kindly elaborate, I fail to grasp your meaning

GreatSoul:
What do you expect to hear from a military mind
that understands brute force better than 'cerebral' intelligence?

I still can't get over the fact that his preferred choice of action was
to cage Umaru Dikko rather than apply for extradition.

Beware of a man whose thinking is in reverse.

OgologoDimkpa:
Among all of them shouting Change in APC, tell me who is not corrupt
Tinubu is corruption personified as he has bought over Lagos.

Buhari once told us that he has just I million naira in his bank account whereas his c
hildren are gallivanting all over Europe.

I am not just comfortable with Buhari's quest to grab power at al cost.
He has an ulterior motive which no other person knows.

We'll resist him with eveything we have.
He'll never smell ASo Rock , mark my word

datribune:
[s] I feel ur pain. U can keep cancelling posts & throwing tantrums on d forum but facts will not cease to be facts.
Wit little or no achievement to point to, GEJ's strategy of using tribe & religion to divide Nigerians is no longer working. Sorry d decision has bcom very easy 4 Nigerians because they hav decided to make dis election a referendum on d performance of both men while in public office.
GEJ - tried, tested & proven to be d weakest, most corrupt & clueless leader in Nigerian history.
GMB - tried, tested & proven to be one of d greatest Nigerian leaders of all time.
Enjoy ur sycophancy while it lasts. d clueless one is on d homestrech of his inept presidency.
SAI BUHARI[/s]

BlackTechnology:


So you SW guys are now in support of coup

Ehnnnnnnnnn

Thank God for this revelation

Haaaaaaaa


We shall resist and kill all coup plotters and their families.

datribune:



Buhari's coup though unconstitutional was patriotic & even more necessary than d doctrine of necessity dat ended imminent crises & brought GEJ to power. dat coup dat ridded Nigeria of d NPN, d ancestor of d PDP, which consisted of d worst set of criminals to be found anywhere in d world is probably one of d greatest acts of patriotism by any nigerian, living or dead. d NPN crooks did not get to power thru free & fair elections, an election dat late Tai Solarin reffered to as a STOLEN PRESIDENCY & they would not leave via elections. dat coup by Buhari is to date one of d greatest acts of patriotism by any nigerian, living or dead.

emiye:
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.
