YOUWIN and you say Goodluck is bad.
Now do you think that General Muhammadu

he
was in his 40s, if you vote him?
What else do they want from President Goodluck

APC is a party of propaganda so we all know where these demeaning reports are coming from. It all about 2015 and the fact remains that no matter their propaganda and mudslinging, BUHARI WILL NEVER BE PRESIDENT... NOT NOW, NOT EVER.

Eluwilussit:
Anybody who thinks for a minute that this nonsense was actually written by some nigerian officers, is truly dumb. Per adventure it was, then the writer is as biased as they come. An officer obeys commands, no matter how bad the situation is. Nigerian soldiers have been over pampered. Can any of these lazy soldiers survive a week in Syria, Iraq or Afghanistan? A soldier fights with anything available. A soldier obeys every command and any command. A soldier doesn't complain.

Before you guys start talking trash, I come from a military family. Two of my cousins fought in Liberia. My nephew was in Sierra Leone. He was in Sudan as well. Now, he and four of my cousins are in the north. The day you sign those papers, is the day you sign away some of your rights. Even the most fundamental of all human rights-the right to life.

You can blame Jonathan all you want, the truth remains that the corrupt officers are either our fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, husbands, wives, sons, daughters, cousins or friends. There is so much Jonathan can do in 5 years. So far, he had done better than all the thieves before him.

After all, what did Obasanjo do when Yerima started all this madness? Didn't the North jubilate on the streets when Boko Haram started? Was Boko Haram not seen by the northerners as their youth wing? Something akeen to all the different militant groups in other parts of the country. Now everybody wants to blame Jona for what was beyond his control.

The day the North decides that enough is enough, Boko Haram will become history within months. Until that day, Nigeria will continue to fight in vain.

Thank GOD for another voice of reason

Make Nigeria soldiers go tell General Kruchsyev of USSR in world war II say them no fit fight because the enemy get more sophisticated weapons than them make them see wetin go happen

We have pampered our military far too much they seem to believe their lives have any purpose beyond strategic purposes. They shouldn't have signed the contract.

Assuming the breadwinner of ur family had been killed by boko haram I am pretty sure you won't type such trash. Even if the letter is fake do.you know how many soldiers that have been killed due to lack of ammunitions to face this boko haram guyz, you better think.beyond politics and the APc vs PDP. Do you know how many families that lose either their Father, mother, uncle, aunties, brothers, sisters or even friends everyday cuz of the negligence from the federal government? Just check on YouTube and see the ammunitions this BH guyz got compared to what a whole nation boasts of having. Then you will believe the budget meant to strengthen the Army is actually used to strengthen the BH boys.


God Bless Nigeria and may the souls lost rest in peace.

Do you know how ignorant you sound?

We don't have ammunition yet boko haram raids our armouries for ammunition that we don't have to fight us with

So kindly think before you type

The Sins of Buhari by Professor Tam David West
April 14, 2011 at 3:45pm


General Muhammadu Buhari is a man revered for his honesty, transparency, integrity and desire for justice for the common man. The idea of a Buhari Presidency is dreaded by some Nigerians who have looted the nation to stupor. These selfish politicians who want to keep Nigerians in poverty often embark on a campaign of calumny by framing up accusations against Buhari in order to prevent Nigerians from voting for a leader who loves the masses and has the mind to change the fortunes of Nigeria for the better. Other anti-Buhari commentators have admitted that they are prejudiced against him (for no just cause). Some do not even know the truths about the allegations. Some misunderstand the man because of his straight forward and disciplined approach to life. Below is a compilation of the so called sins of Buhari obtained mainly from The Sixteen Sins of Buhari, written by Professor Tam David West, a man who worked closely with Buhari as Minister for Petroleum when General Buhari was Head of State. Facts have also been sourced from a few other sources to help Nigerians know the truth about this man whose presidency will undoubtedly change Nigeria for the better. Going by his unassuming nature, Buhari will not fight to protect his own name. This is why concerned Nigerians have decided to take up this fight. We must no longer let mischief makers who do not want the good of the average Nigerian deceive the
Nigerian public.

Human Rights Abuse
Human rights must be protected and must not be abused. However, those who single out the military rule of Buhari for human rights violations are biased.

The Buhari regime was a military regime. Military regimes have not been known to uphold the same standards of human rights as democracies. There was hardly any military regime in Nigeria that was not characterized by dictatorship and violation of fundamental rights. Military Heads of States gave orders that violated human rights. Some have accused Buhari of ordering executions. However, unlike other military Heads of States who single handedly ordered executions, Buhari never took decisions unilaterally. He practiced democracy even as a military Head of State. Decisions were taken by the Supreme Military Council (SMC).

President Buhari will not order the execution of accused persons because it is the responsibility of the judiciary to pass sentences. President Buhari will not be a dictator because he has matured into a democrat and has participated actively in the democratic process since 1999. President Buhari cannot be a dictator because the democratic environment is different from the military environment. General Buhari has shown his faith in the democratic process by contesting for the presidency twice. When he lost under controversial circumstances, he demonstrated his faith in the judiciary by challenging the results through the laid down procedures of the court system. Therefore Nigerians should welcome whole heartedly Muhammadu Buhari, the democrat.

Retroactive Laws

General Buhari has been attacked for making retroactive laws by which he targeted corrupt practices which robbed Nigeria of vital income. Decree Number 20 of 1984 on bunkering and illegal oil deals was aimed at stopping the theft of oil which at the time cost Nigeria over $2 million per day. Again that was the only way a patriotic and zealous military Head of State could have saved Nigeria from the clutches of corruption. That retroactive law put an end to the theft of oil. Other Nigerian military Heads of States also made retroactive laws. The United Nations tribunals at Nuremberg and Tokyo which tried perpetrators of World War II atrocities operated based on retroactive laws. Retroactive laws simply fulfilled the maxim, "desperate diseases require desperate remedies". A democratic government will be different at least because it is characterized by separation of powers. As such, President Buhari cannot and will not make retroactive decrees as it is the duty of the National Assembly to make laws in a democracy.

Islam Fundamentalist

Buhari has been accused by mischief makers of religious fundamentalism. He was quoted out-of-context as saying that muslims should vote for only muslims. If this were true, can he be hanged for it when Christian clerics have also been known to advocate that Christians should vote only for Christians? But Buhari’s rebuttal of this charge, "I am not a religious fundamentalist …" was published on Saturday Sun on 3 July 2004. Do you know that as Head of State, General Buhari bulldozed mosques that were constructed illegally? Do you know that he arrested and detained a number of Islamic preachers for violent sermons? Do you know that as an army commander, most of Buhari’s men from platoon to division were Christians? Do you know that it was Obasanjo, not Buhari who took Nigeria into the membership of the Islamic Bank? Do you know that it was Babangida, not Buhari who sought to secretly take Nigeria into membership of the Organization of Islamic Countries? How then can Buhari be said to be an Islam fundamentalist? Buhari is simply a devout muslim who is committed to his faith without trying to impose it on anyone.

Decree 4 and Press Freedom

Admittedly, Decree 4 seemed to negate some principles of press freedom. Again, it must be stated that the Buhari regime was a military regime. Military regimes are not known to guarantee press freedom as well as democracies. Those jailed under decree 4 included two journalists reporting for a major Newspaper. The newspaper was fined N50, 000. Its offence was that it published before the official time the list of Nigeria’s ambassadorial postings. This was invariably a breach of state security. Governments all over the world seek to preserve information that is essential for state security. Even the United States, the chief advocate of press freedom is seeking to arrest the founder of Wikileaks for publishing state secrets. Despite this, the Buhari regime should be applauded because it never closed down or proscribed any newspaper or magazine. Other military regimes, particularly the Obasanjo and Babangida regimes seized and proscribed newspapers and magazines with impunity.

Decree 3 and Shagari Regime Politicians

The Buhari regime passed the Recovery of Public Property (Special Military Tribunal’s Decree No. 3 of 1984) to try the corrupt politicians in Shagari’s government. Admittedly, the sentences handed over to the culprits may have been outrageous but this was again characteristic of military regimes, not just Buhari’s regime. Some military regimes were known to hand down life sentences to persons against whom they framed up accusations. Did Buhari frame up accusations against anyone? Certainly not! Even Buhari’s critics have admitted that the Shagari’s government was outrageously corrupt. In the process, Buhari saved Nigeria hundreds of millions of naira. Again in a democracy, President Buhari will not hand down sentences on anyone because it is the responsibility of the courts to do so. Other governments including civilian administrations have been known to manipulate anti-corruption agencies because they had something to hide or someone to protect. Not so for Buhari. He has nothing to hide and no one to protect.

The 53 Suit Cases Saga
Below is an excerpt of a profile of Muhammadu Buhari written by Oluwarotimi Fashakin and published on Elombah.com:
Owing to the damaging effect of currency trafficking outside the Nation’s shores, the Buhari administration decided to change the colors of the currency notes in April 1984. This yielded the desired result as N5Billion excess liquidity was mopped off! As a back-lash on this exercise, there was insidious story from a section of the media that the Buhari regime allowed the Emir of Gwandu, Alhaji Jokolo to bring in 53 suitcases during the currency change, thereby insinuating a case of double-standard. Let it be said from the onset, the opinion tenaciously held on to about this incident was what was sold to the unsuspecting Nigerian public by a section of the press. So much hoodwinked that Buhari's explanation had never been heard!

This is what Buhari said about this:
"This is a typical case of the press believing what they want to believe. I hope it is not a reflection of the Nigerian society. I hope one day you will find the time to interview the Vice President (Alhaji Atiku Abubakar) on this. I understand he was the Customs officer in charge of the Murtala Mohammed airport, perhaps he knows more about it than myself. I have explained this so many times but the press write what they want to write and not what is factual."

Going down the memory lane, he added: "I recall the day in question. We were playing squash with my ADC when his father, the late Emir was returning to the country. He was a well-respected person. I prompted Jokolo to go and receive him even when he had no intention of doing so. By some coincidence his father was returning with my late chief of protocol who was an ambassador in Libya. He returned with his three wives and about 16 children. Everything about him including the handbag of his wives was counted as a suitcase. I explained this myself but nobody believed me."

It is believed that these false allegations were cooked up by persons who secretly sought to discredit Buhari in order to overthrow him. Let him that have eyes read between the lines. Let those who falsely accuse an honest man have a rethink for it is the height of injustice.

The N2.8 Billion ‘Missing’ Oil Money Poppycock

In 1980, during the administration of President Shagari, a case arose of some N2.8 billion allegedly missing from the NNPC in the previous administration of General Obasanjo when General Buhari was the Minister for Petroleum. A Judicial Commission of Inquiry headed by a Supreme Court Judge, Honourable Mr. Justice Ayo Irekefe, was set up to examine the allegations. The MD/CEO of NNPC, Chief Festus Marinho, an oil technocrat was temporarily moved out of the NNPC to allow for investigations. From its findings, the Commission, satisfied that no such money ever got missing, dismissed the scandal. It is interesting to note that even before the allegations were dismissed by the Commission, Buhari’s name was not mentioned among those suspected. This was reiterated by General Obasanjo in 1990 in his book "Not My Will" in which Obasanjo praised Buhari’s "honesty", "moral probity and rectitude".

Are you done deceiving yourself and just yourself alone?
What about the senate inquiry into the missing $2.8billion headed by pa Saraki that traced the missing $2.8billion into buhari's Midland bank account in london months before he overthrew this same civillian government Pa saraki was a part of and jailed many of them?
Honestly you think we are fooled by any of the gob you posted above?

How do you explain the cancelled lagos metro project?

So to explain away his legion of shortcomings and undoings we should take the words of non other than Tunde Bakare undecided right?

Mtcheeeeeew!!!!! undecided

Our president has done better than the past leaders, this is true as you have rightly mentioned.
We can encourage him to be the best that no future leader can be Compared to him.
In which area? in the area of security.

This security report is the second time saying the same thing from different authors.
In everything, there's a possible test that can be carried out to confirm its genuineness or its faulthood.
In trying to find answers to the following questions, we will know whether or not the report on the alleged rot in NA is true.

1. Why is it that the NA are always on the defensive side while BH are on the offensive side?

2. Why is it that the BH are the ones searching for NA formation to attack and destroy, giving NA a surprising attack, instead?

3. Why is Nigeria Air Force not conducting air surveillance operation to locate BH camps and give intelligent info on their location to artillery division or ground troops for a coordinated operation to eliminate these human ritualists called BH.

4. Why is it that the Chadian Authority unilaterally conduct the kind of operation mentioned in item 3 above without authorisation from Nigeria Army authority. ?
As alleged by the media, the operation was successful and the local government seized by BH recovered and is confirmed by NA.

For the fact the Chadian authority didn't invite NA for military operation in their soil is a strong indicator of the fact that NA are corrupt and not dependable in military alliance.

Our president is giving toooo much opportunity to his enemies to rubbish him.

Of all his achievements, security is paramount.
Schools built in NE where are BH is terrorising in of no use to the society in those areas. So are other things,
Our president can be there best if we tell him the truth and support him.
