I found this picture from a 1985 newspaper cover story talking about Buhari's regime and his eventual defeat at the hands of Babangida.
Please read. It's quite an interesting piece. Very revealing, too.



The newspaper in question is Concord Weekly (September 12th, 1985), and the story was written by the respected journalist, Prof. Okey Ndibe.

Now that's an insightful article.

A few excerpts...

"It [Buhari's government] refused to recognise the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) and instead of discussing this with its leaders, hurled them into detention."
- Concord Weekly (12-09-1985).

The Buhari regime precipated it's eventual eclipse by naively cultivating the antagonism of key groups of people; students, workers, Journalists, Doctors, Lawyers, Traders and academics. Only eager for the support of traditional rulers, The regime treated other interest groups with disdain

The rigidity of the ousted administration was best exemplified in the nature of the decree it produced. Discounting popular advice, the regime went ahead to promulgate decrees Which rather than solving the problems, CREATED NEW ONES

Can a leopard change it's spots??

Small small the truth is coming out.

post the paper lets see it

"Doctors who sought to draw attention to the death dens that hospitals had become were brusquely dealt with, and their leaders detained for several months."
- Concord Weekly (12-09-1985).

"Thousands of workers were told that there was no longer any work available to them. Decree 4 became a nightmare to journalists."
- Concord Weekly (12-09-1985).

Interesting article....especially as it shows how many Nigerians hoped that IBB was a different type of leader. Unfortunately....IBB turned out to be the opposite of what Nigeria wanted.(SAP, Austerity, Devaluation, Deficits, etc...and the Gulf OIL windfall that flew away....)

Buhari may have been a dictator...but he never told Nigerians that he would hand over to a democratically elected government....and then fail to keep his promise.

Buhari is an evil monster.

Boo-Harry porter.

Perpetually un-electable!!!

"While Buhari strained to be perceived as a chip of the Murtala block, he himself belonged more to the world of Shehu Shagari, the man he overthrew."
- Concord Weekly (12-09-1985).

Buhari is a no no

It's all contained in that cover story.
These are the people who actually witnessed Buhari's administration. The people who saw it, felt it and lived it for almost 2 years of their lives. This is a story written exactly during that period, echoing the voices from the hearts of millions of Nigerians, not dubious tweets from people who would rather rewrite history on Twitter by selling us lies on 4 phantom refineries and fake inflation cuts, just for their own selfish interests.

I will never be a slave to ignorance.

Thanks for this info Kenai. That's why im following you. I saw part of the info some where but this in a news paper is great.

Concord newspapers,owned by MKO abiola who happens to be IBB's friend,IBB needed the support of the masses after his coup & where else than a newspaper owned by his good ol' friend MKO (corrupt duo)

Once a Chameleon
Always a_______?

This man call Buhari is a devil..... I pity the younger generation asking for him.... My advice to those born from 1986 upwards is to go ask their parents or any learned adult about the era of Buhari.

Buhari,No wonder He has been failing and refailing the lections since 1999..
The evil he has done lives with Him and will live with Him forever.

Was the 1984 New York Times article I posted exposing the fact that Buhari signed a pact with Brazil to refine our oil outside the country also owned by MKO Abiola, or are you looking for new ghosts to blame for that one?

When NANS came out a few days ago to say they would NEVER support Buhari, did the APC fanatics not claim they were PAID BY GEJ? Yet this article I posted has REVEALED why they never liked the man.
Who are you going to blame for that one too?

Keep looking for ghosts to accuse for the crimes of your hypocritical Mr. Integrity.

Chilling...

This explains why the group has come out today to campaign against Buhari. But APC fanatics called them "hungry students" paid by GEJ.

Many irrational acts of buhari are coming up by day, we Nigerians nearly believed he was a man of integrity as purported.

I think its right time to put this desperate thoughtless stubborn man in his place.
