Well articulated, but you have not exonerated your idol from his crime
Must we close eyes to his possessing many foreign accounts while in office, contrary to provision in our statutes ?
Let him be minus one of roguish lots
Spread dragnets to people like him & by the end of the day we may clean-up the system
Folks lets jettison petty sentiments

My Mouth: Can someone tell this foolish nigerian to go and face his oga's wahala and leave buhari matter alone, buhari and gej no be mate for anytin, this country needs buhari now more than ever!

biafranqueen: My Dear he is right I will not say that I did not like some of Buhari ideas as far s environmental and discipline, but my family lost their factory because we could not import flour it devastated the factory. The warf was closed and imported food was not allowed. His laws really devastated Igbos because we and were doing that time the importers. If your guy was in office now Nairaland would be closed down because these forums would be outlawed for the tribalism and indiscipline and actually the Vice President was the action man that made anything happen during that regime.

Obiagelli: BLOODY BASELESS ALLEGATIONS.

rolchi:

Obiagelli, I have read your posts about Buhari's govt. What Ogb5 said is true. I remember then as a teenager, my mum queuing for essential comodities like sugar. Even then, we could not get "ordinary" toilet roll. We resorted to use of paper. Sugar was scarce. Nigerians became very enterprising then.

If you believe your coupist Buhari so much, read "Soldiers of Fortune" by Max Silloun.

Bihari can never rule Nigeria again. APC will never sell him.

hercules07: Those of us who lived under Buhari are happy to have witnessed such a good leader, order was restored, things moved well until the CIA and Babangida decided to truncate our joy.

atlwireles:

You can repeat your buhari tales by moon light to your kids at home. I was a teenager in the buhari days. Standing on the queue for my mom many times to buy essential commodity. I remember tenants not paying rents because they cannot withdraw money. it was a time of fear, real fear in this country. Nigeria importers were completely put out of business with our closed borders and all imports must be approved by Ministry of trade, making the import license regime, the biggest fraud in that government. The word on the street was N1M per import license. Buhari will never be president in this country. Even, if he runs against the devil, Nigerians will vote for the devil before Buhari.

ogb5:

You obviously did not experience Buhari's rule. Go and ask older ones in your vicinity to tell you about is regime.

Let them tell you about Essential commodities and what it means then to be able to buy such things as rice, cooking oil, OMO detergent and bread.

Ask what was Buhari's policy on importation of industrial raw materials like wheat, Malted barley. Ask about the demise of Kingsway Superstores, Berec batteries.

ask about WAI andhow civilians were flogged in the streets by soldiers as if civilians are animals.

like I said, you did not experience Buhari's rule. if you are hungry to be flogged on the street, book a flight to north korea. Buhari is bad news anyday

ogb5:

pray you should never witness a ruler like buhari in your life. I know you only knew of buhari's rule from fairy tales people told you.

How do you think he reduced inflation?

There are two ways to reduce inflation, you either reduce the money in circulation, making fewer money to chase the available goods or you increase the amount of goods in the market, making the available money to chase an increased quantity of goods.

Guess how buhari reduced inflation; by drastically reducing the money in circulation. he did that by changing the colour of the bank notes, forcing everyone to take their money to the bank and refusing to allow the banks give people their money. So people had money in the bank but were unable to withdraw it. people starved and queue for hours to lay hands on bread, cooking oil and soap. Many died on bread queues. Anytime you think of Buhari, think starvation.

Don't mention buhari, that one is devil incarnate and sadist to the core. He compounded everything by banning importation of raw materials needed by factories, forcing factories to close and lay off workers. With no money in circulation and people starving inflation had no where to go but down.

If you want Buhari so much you can relocate to North Korea, that type of society is what Buhari wants

atlwireles:

I don't know who you are but please in the name of GOD you are the bloody liar. Counterfeiting is why people could not withdraw their money from banks for months. You write a cheque for N300, only for the bank teller to give you N75? That was the Nigeria, where you stand for hours to buy, milk, sugar, rice and oil every 30 days, from the essential commodities task force in the name of price control. Starvation was real. Getting caught with foreign currency was an economic sabotage crime. That was buhari's Nigeria.

Merry Christmas to all of PDP dogs and all you Jonathanians. I wish you all dumbo jacks a clueless new year.

But the period of General Babangida (1985-1993) represented the beginning of unmitigated Islamization of Nigeria. General Babangida was one of the loyal followers of General Murtala. This was why General Babangida took the fateful decision in 1986 to face the Nigerian Christians in particular and Nigerians in general with the plan of Muslims. He without the approval of the governing organs of the Federal Military Government organized a mission led by a non-member of the Government, the Sultan of Sokoto to formally admit Nigeria into the Organization of Islamic Conference (OIC). When the Chief of General Staff, Commodore Ubitu Ukiwe complained that he knew nothing about it and definitely said that he could not remember the matter coming to the Armed Forces Ruling Council (AFRC), he was shown his way out. The Christians took it. The Christian leaders bought the plan of the Military President to keep them talking under the auspices of a 20-man panel to 'examine the implications of the country's full membership of the organization'. This was a diversion and the Christians were victims. This was not all.
