W3xy1: A great man and man of Peace. May almighty Allah accept your soul and rest in peace. Who knows where Nigeria would have been today if Buhari didn't plot the coup of 1984 to abort democracy in Nigeria? That was the beginning of all the evils we experienced up till this day. |

First, rip. Jayslicky:Now, you! I don't think you could possibly have been alive when Shagari was the president of Nigeria, or you were way too young at the time. I do not know if Shagari himself was corrupt, and since nothing points to him having been, I would not say otherwise, but his government was so incompetently bad that we were dancing on the street when bubu kicked him and his lot out! That in fact is why we gave bubu the chance to rule us again! |

Only in Nigeria will the passing at the venerable old age of 93 of a terrible leader like Shagari, who oversaw a jamboree of looting only equaled under Abacha, be hailed as if it were the untimely demise of a Mandela-like, saintly figure. Massive vote-rigging, import-licensing monopolies, gigantic white elephant projects, huge payouts for contracts that were never executed, federal offices being set on fire to destroy evidence of corruption - you name it, the Shagari government saw it happen. Let's call a spade a spade: just because it was Buhari who overthrew Shagari's utterly corrupt regime doesn't mean we have to forget how awful things were between 1979 and 1983. The excuse that Shagari didn't know what was going on won't wash either, as no one forced him to become the Presidential candidate for the NPN, or to stay in office as the economy sank under the weight of rampant borrowing to fund kleptocracy run riot. Shagari was very lucky most Nigerians have short memories and are ignorant of even the recent history of their own country, or he would have had to live the rest of his years in exile for fear of the rage of the masses. As for those whose hatred of Buhari makes them praise Shagari as some sort of victim, Buhari and Idiagbon's coup would never have had any legitimacy in the first place if Shagari was the wise and honest leader you wish to make him out to have been. It was Shagari's own feckless rule which provided the excuse the coup-plotters needed to strike, and I'm old enough to remember that for this very reason there was near universal jubilation amongst the populace at first (until the jubilating masses eventually came to realize that wearing military khaki doesn't make a man either wise or honest). 11 Likes 4 Shares |

To call a spade a spade, Shagari was highly incompetent. In fairness to him though, he was at least more active than 'this lifeless one' at the helm presently. |
