I will always loved 😍 you IBB. You are one of my heroes ❤️ 👍 People didn't realise reasons your government refused to accept June 12th. Only insider's like you knew that a coup was going to remove them, shortly. 👍
I cry for nigeria. You call ibb iconic president. You journalist are sick nd unprofessional. You re the problems. Arise this is unfortunate. Imagine his palacial mansion disgraced journalist
To The people that made this country what it is You may have looted all the money to last you a lifetime But I hope that your suffering starts from the Afterlife!
The problem with Africa is that we celebrate thieves. Allow them to keep their loot and be treated as statesmen, heroes instead of villain deserving the harshest punishment and to be treated with contempt. IBB and many corrupt and ruthless African leaders shouldn’t be allowed to keep their loot. Letting them keep is setting bad precedents, it confirms that crime pays. This is our biggest problem in Africa. A thief is a thief and it doesn’t matter whether they have stolen a goat, chicken, robbed citizens of public resources, are a villager, an ex president, young or old. They must be punished in equal proportion to the crime committed and deprived of the stollen goods or wealth so that leaders coming after them are warned. I don’t consider IBB a hero and sad that many here are praising him. May God the almighty, Allah open our eyes as citizens to the filths committed by men like him impoverishing this continent
IBB doesn't qualify as a hero. There's nothing heroic about him. Infact, he's a major factor in the continuous struggle for nationhood. He created more problems than he solved (if any). His Maradonic postures is inimical to the peace and stability of Nigeria. He legalized many illegalities. He's therefore, a criminal that ought to be brought to book.
I quite agree with you and that is the system in the Western world. Look ex-president Trump, regardless of he acclaimed wealth, he is been invested for instigating violence in America including his cabinet and all senators, representatives and everyone suspected of affiliating with him. America will tell you that "Nobody is above board" but in Nigeria, political criminals are being called Godfather and celebrated. What a shame.
I like what arise News is doing these days, keep calling them out pls...the next should be Gowon and Abdusalami,bring all of them out pls,because the time is near. Up Arise News!
regardless of who is saying it , do not throw away the message, Nigerian people lack core values. I dont like any past or present leader, not only IBB, all of them are the same but even all of us in our work place, are we all faithful to the government or our bosses? We need to look at ourselves so that we dont repeat what the old thieves did
I SUPPOR AND ADVOCATE FOR YORUBA NATION . THE DAYLIGHT KILLING OF THE YORUBAS CHILDREN , YOUTHS , WOMEN & MEN IN HUNDRENS BY THE FULANIS IS TOO RAMPART. .

You and your brother, the looter-in-chief, Abacha banded together to deny chief Abiola his mandate and left him to die in your custody, and you want us to listen to you now? Give me a break!
Do you know that the total of what Abacha and IBB were alleged to have looted from Nigeria are less than$4 billion;while obasanjo and Jonathan have stolen $60 billion and $200 billion respectively?The data is there from EFCC, CBN and National assembly if you care to confirm. You people are selfish, you always malign and demonise Northerners; while southerners are the most corrupt people on Earth.Look at civil servants at Federal level when Federal capital was at Lagos, everything is give me money for you to have your file processed.Even here at Abuja southerners demand for bribery for whatever you want them to do. So, you southerners are the masters of corruption that hinder economic development in Nigeria.you teach some Northerners to do the same,you then turn and accuse them of leading in corruption because you dominate media.
@@ibrahimmuhammad1569 Did you say Obasanjo and Jonathan looted $60 and $200 billion respectively? I saw your comment and laughed, because no serious-minded person (respectively) would make such outlandish and unfounded claim. If that was the case, how come you don't see billions being sent back to the country from foreign countries, the same way the looter-in-chief, Abacha's looted billions continue to be sent back?
@@ibrahimmuhammad1569 So with ur gibberish you type texted,ur body language is dt corruption should continue for ad-infinitum bc it was the South dt introduced it ? The North dt you claimed to be saint,why have they not been able to ameliorate chronic poverty, illiteracy and retrogressive life style? I detest pointing accusing fingers at a certain tribe or region for an ossified corruption and stupidity of Nigerian elites,led by her political class
He has retired to his "HILLTOP" palatial home while so many Nigerians are living in squalor and abject poverty due partly to the actions and inactions of his likes. I hope he is at peace with himself. Power is transient and mortal life itself has an end.
@@princeteddyvictoregbon230, you people love your tormentors, how old were you when he left, do you even know your history, do you know how reprobate this man was when in government, he revolutionized corruption and took it to a new level, do you know of the Gloria Okon case and Dele Giwa debacle, so what is there to emulate about a wheel chair bound , decrepit kleptomaniac who can not even account for the 2.8 billion gulf War oil sales Nigeria made in the 90s,you better keep quiet there with your political correctness. Nonsense of the highest order, mtcheww!
Gen Ibrahim Babangida is one of the best and most prayerfully affectionately goodnatured Snr Officers i grew up in my early twenties during my military cadetship training at the Nigerian Defence Academy Kaduna 7th Regular Course mate of GenOgomudia fmr CDS and V AdmAfolayan fmr CNS! Gen IBB inspite of his rumoured incapacitation and on a wheelchair or dementia but i hold a very different personal opinion! Many many many Happy Returns on your 80th birthday anniversary celebrations and we wish you Long Life and Prosperity in Christ Jesus the Nazarene Amen Sir!
Please Arise news,next time you want to interview people like this,let Rufai handle this,except you don't want to hear these men tell us the truth.. Ngozi is best with giving us news night Nigeria..Rufai is a natural detective in a journalist form..
We have to first appreciate our efforts that have most likely led to that ugly lady called Tundu not sitting down with our able Rufai in the morning show. I felt like going there and uprooting her when she conspicously showed she had fracas with our sole representative there in Rufai. The next one to go should be Mr. Abati whom i feel is also not comfortable with Rufai.
Brother do you remember what is called "Brown Envelope journalism ". What they will take away when going home will get them unnecessarily exited to be using expensive adjectives to mislead the public.

I applaud you, sir, IBB. We as a Nation are quick to condemn you, but you had the interest of the Country at heart-a man who gave his wife a platform to shine. We should think of United democracy as it should be. IBB is not INEC rigging the elections, nor is he your state's governors not providing essential services to the people.
I reluctantly watched, and honestly, doesn't deserved the time. This evil man doesn't deserved no hearing at all. HE SINGLE HANDEDLY DESTROYED THE COUNTRY NIGERIA. IN A SANE COUNTRY, HE SHOULD BE IN PRISON LANGUISHING! SO SHAMEFUL AN INTERVIEW!!!
This man has destroyed Nigeria from the foundation. Don't bring him into memory. thank him though, He is the reason for the actualization of our Yoruba nation.
You massed wealth in your own time . It is your foot steps that other politicians are taking . Being a Politician in Nigeria has turn to become a national cake where people come and grab what they can get and not what they can do for the masses .God will judge all of you
This evil genius has no justification whatsoever to comment on democracy and the state of the nation which he selfishly distorted. The history of Nigerian democracy would probably have been better without the name IBB.
The level of jonalism in Nigeria is really nothing to write home about, Ibb himself raised some certain issues that the interviewer failed to capitalised on, for instance when he says ( at least the economy hasn't collapse yet ) she should have take him on that, and few others...
Infant if IBB can speak out this way while are we not allowed ex to speak out for the present. We need their intervention also, how long can we remain like This brethren
Ngozi gave IBB soft landing questions, or may be I should say she's afraid of him, you just modelled all the questions. IBB still acting Maradonic, anyway his time is up. Nigerians should think.
Even when the ℃riminal said "we agreed to be one / stay as one"??? The lady was unable to ask him on whose consensus?? To benefits him and his foreign colozzz masters????
You are 100% right bro!! he was the creator of grand theft in government. He took Nigeria to another level of unimaginable corruption and impunity. Infact, he brought 419, drug peddlers, made lots of millionaires whose source of wealth were neither here or there leading to hyperinflation that Nigeria economy is still suffering from till date.
Loool, the 1963 coup was motivated by Corruption... The second Military coup was motivated by large-scale corruption. Let us stop pinning the national problems on individuals. We will not solve the problem as a nation until we stop doing this
Corruption begins with an individual in a family, society etc. Biblical example of Judas betraying Jesus Christ, is no different from IBB or someone else who starts or endorse corruption in his society .
if this interviewer were to interview barrister ejiofor i bet you will see the arrogance in her and the type of question that will be asked, this is more like a discussion between husband and wife. total waist of time.
IBB WELL SPOKEN, WE AGREE, LET THOSE OLD CRONIES GO AND REST.. WE SUPPORT SOWORE KOLA ABIOLA OR ANY OTHER YOUNGER ASPIRANTS....THOSE OLD CRONIES SHOULD GO AND REST,, HAVENT THEY LOOTED ENOUGH BILLIONS ....
If Abacha did not die, nobody will be talking about his loot. I also know Babagida the Maradonna taught Abacha how to steal. In that case, can you all ask Babagida to point us to his loot in foreign land before he dies? else the west will not refund what belongs to us.
" I also know that babaginda taught abacha" How do you know this, were a fly on the wall, when the lesson were taking place This statement here emphasis why nigeria is in a mess, we speculate without any fact, everything is based on emotion and feeling and zero fact base
Ngozi did a good job! I don't think Rufai would have done any better, infact he wouldn't have gotten anywhere. This sort of interview requires a level of control and maturity with thoughts & questions... it is what it is. He's done his bit, he's old. Viewers should read in between the lines, some interesting insights here.
IBB is being very careful with his words. He's very careful, not to criticize the current government. Even though it's obvious that he is dissatisfied with their extremely poor leadership.
IBB is very intelligent. He said that Nigeria economy under Buhari has not crashed. This is very diplomatic. IBB didn't say that Buhari is doing well or not. Secondly, he said that the military had to do more without commenting specifically on the present state of the military. Thirdly, he described the qualities of the person who should be the next president without mentioning a political party , an individual or a specific region. That's wisdom.
Of all Nigeria's presidents to date he seems to have the greatest understanding of how the country works. He single handedly turned Nigeria into the most corrupt country in the world almost overnight, in only a few years. That's very impressive. He could have done a lot for Nigerians if he wasn't selfish.
Very interesting he did not argue against his regime being very corrupt to Nigerians instead he was comparing the degrees of the corruption with the current regime : I think that was very appalling and discouraging for his reputation as a corrupt Tyrant leader. I was expecting him to say no it was not.
What would he have done that others after him couldn't do? He gave you local government autonomy, the others that came scattered it. He gave you movement to Abuja, upgraded the airports and full developments. 29years gone what are others doing?
Unverifiable, uncomplimentary, and sentimental assertion! Sheer blackmail. It's yet to be proven as to how IBB's government was more corrupt than other leaders under whose watch the power sector and road infrastructure collapsed.
Those of you asking why Rufai wasn't sent, hope you guys know that he's arrogant and with people like that Arise would never get anywhere near these top politicians. My guess is it's same reason he wasn't included amongst the team that had a session with PMB. Meanwhile, IBB decided not to share anything on this interview, evasive as usual. I hope he tells us the whole truth someday before he dies, we deserve that at least.
I disagree with you on Rufai,he is not arrogant rather he's blunt, straight forward and sincere.yes, if taken may not give Arise TV head way on top interviews again but know for sure that he's the type we need in Nigeria now.
@@ademolamary7225 There's a thin line between arrogance and confidence and I can tell when a person is the former. I have watched Amanpour and other top journalists interview tyrants and notable world leaders, trust me I could tell when I see a arrogant one. Classic example was one of his interviews with governor Wike when he, Rufai insisted the man tell him the number of people he employs monthly as governor of rivers. Abati had to step in to salvage what was already an awkward situation. Just so you know, I like him as a journalist and I consider him to be highly cerebral but dude needs to learn some diplomacy.
It's unfortunately that some of you don't understand Nigeria, important interview can not be given to Rufai, they knew what he is capable of doing I'm not surprised
@@godwinejiofor8064 It means he doesn't have the name & mental composure; its not about knowledge of historical events or quoting poets. It's asking difficult questions in a formal composed way; also remember different interviews have different formats (this 1 is probably intended to be less aggressive/confrontational) She asked the needed questions: a little too calm but she asked them
Shame on this interviewer, Imagine her calling IBB;" A great builder of Men". I hope she was properly bribed This lady is an extremely poor interviewer. She only knows how to speak good English but no substance at all in the questions she asked. I don't know why Arise News find the need to keep on interviewing these useless leaders like Buhari, IBB without asking them relevant and hard questions about why their tenure in governance was a disaster for the country. I hope Arise news is not been bribed
He's was one of the key major person who brought us to where we are today in Nigeria, he played a very bad roll in the history of the country,wanted to gain free Marshall before relocating state capital to Abuja. Very bad man and he killed a lots of people
Abatti can be economical with the truth sometimes. He had the platform when buhari came to lagos but he behaved like a secondary school headboy on instructions.
Contrary to most comments, Ms Ngozi did very well; she asked the important questions but wasn't forceful & persistent on certain issues & I suspect that's because the interview wasn't intended to be aggressive & confrontational She should have been grilled this guy more though (many Nigerians deeply dislike/hate him & want him behind bars/facing trials) She showed maturity & composure, well done Ma'am👏🏽👏🏾👏🏿👏🏼
IBB speaks as one whose past obligations in Nigeria were those of a political analyst and not of an ex-president. The military men in Nigeria were rare in terms of impacting the lives of the common Nigerian. IBB annulled a democratic process in June 12 1993 elections . A man who gave license to corruption and tries to justify his own graft by highlighting the immense corruption of current political class only shows an ex-president who refuses to be held accountable as a public servant. He is not an intelligent man but a profound thief.
one thing is sure... the alleged/perceived corruption of his nothing compared to what is obtainable since the so called democratic dispensation... That I give for free..
@@collinschiazor6568 They are equally as guilty as one another. In ethical parlance, you don't say one person is eviler than another. What happened to the $12 billion dollars gulf war windfall?
Such impunity. I've not heard this man express one single regret or remorse for his part in plunging the country into the darkest abyss that we may never limb out of.
Stay there dey complain. You expect him to apologize for sins he committed many years ago, but Buhari has not apologize for the sins he is committing now.
All corruptions before him was at secondary level at best. He taught Nigeria Msc in corruption. Goodluck took us into Phd in corruption. This current regime is teaching us combined honors of corruption and insecurity.
The Great problem 👌 of NIGERIA is Leadership but in addition Sound Character Leadership is our Greatest Challenge Now 😁. Peter Obi is the Best to Fix Nigerian's Leadership Challenge Now. The Way Out is Peter Obi come 2023. IBB can confirm so.
@@mamansadik3821 Tell your old folks to shut the fucks. He's part of the people that destroy Nigeria and you still give him respect? No military man earns my respect as long as he's part of the people that decimate with the future of Nigeria youth.
Whenever I listen to this very diabolical man commenting on national issues, my heart bleeds for Nigeria. It's surprising that he still moves about a free man today & some shameless people still regard him as a stateman & even celebrate him despite all the unprecedented atrocities he committed against the Nigerian state while he ruled between August 27th 1985 - August 27th 1993. Here's a man that unilaterally annulled the best election in the annals of elections in Nigeria & almost plunged the country into another war in the process. Here's a man who mismanaged the 12 .4 Billion Dollars gulf war windfall in 1991 . Here's a man that was clearly linked with the murder of one of the finest journalists in Nigeria, the late Oladele Sunmonu Giwa on 19th October, 1986 . In a saner clime, this evil man would have been cooling his heels in jail long ago, but unfortunately this is Nigeria where evil men always have their way. But whether he likes it or not, Babangida cannot escape retributive justice. The judgment of God is about visiting Babangida before he faces the torments of the grave !
The only time IBB will have to come online is for him to apologize to Nigerians, the families of those he made fatherless. He should ask everyone for mercy.
Thanks for saying my opinion after 15 mins of watching the video. The man shouldn't be made to escape the definition of federalism and say if Nigeria is federal.
@@noahobansa5260 That narrative must not be allowed to dominate our society anymore. That act of the Nigerian system dictating which face of journalism thrives and obstruct the reporters of truth must also start getting resisted by that part of the lovers of truth and back support the career of the Rufai(s) to thrive. And trust me, those of us who want the true journalism to thrive are many enough to support and sustain characters like Rufai.
@@ziononyeze9884 My brother how long are going continue to do us versus them type of politics? Our leaders are dividing us and it is almost reaching a point of disintegrating the country. We just want to live a good life, food, roads, electricity, pipe borne water and a stable economy.
Kudos to her for skillfully staying on the issues. It'll be nice to see what other past rulers are saying in their old age, when some of them may have begun to realize the consequences of past decisions and actions in present day Nigeria
He should have been made to see its success in places like EU/Britain, and other nations. Why should somebody see it as non negotiable in Nigeria. Why? Except the people saying no are the ones holding the power...
I just love Ngozi Alaegbu; she is beautiful, she is bright, she is brilliant 🤩….& a true daughter of Zion What a wonderful interview she had with Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida By the way, was Babangida’s mother a Yoruba woman from Ogbomosho?
Oga keep quiet there. What has your father done for the country? This is the only thing u know how to do - sit down there and hurl condescending words at elders who actually contributed in nation building.
Sincerely at 80 ,I would not want to be asked these questions , we should let these old men and women retire and rest . The story of our yesterday is theirs , but today and tomorrow can certainly not be told by them . Please Arise , ask young men how we can get out of the rut we are in .
How can this man be given so much audience by asking him for the solutions to Nigeria's problems? Have we forgotten his antecedents? Please go and read your history!
Babangida please stop beating around the Bush, you created all these problems happening in nigeria today, where you are going is far closer to where you are coming from, so please be honest with yourself and the nation as whole.
In addition to the other comments, Babangida initiated Nigeria into one Islamic global association. He had to pull Nigeria out of the group after intensive opposition. Why is anybody interviewing him? He is the MOST unqualified person to even contest for civilian presidency. Wrong for the interviewer to state that IBB quashed the coup that removed Murtala. What he did was to use his friendship with Dimka to disarm him - Dimka.
I still love him. When you are in power, few options are available to you. Many accused him of corruption but truth be told... since he left office corruption has quadruple. Look at today, Buhari is the biggest thief. I will always love him.
He's not only accused of corruption - he's corruption personified. Retrospectively he and others who came to power after him to this date should apologize to Nigerians for their failures.
His conscience knows that he tried to destroy Nigeria, so he is not part of Nigeria. He knows this. He annulled the most peaceful election. He knows. You can't lie to your conscience. Notice how he uses "we" before his regime, and changed it to "they", after his regime.
This man seems always composed when giving interviews. I wish there were more hard questions the lady gave. Next time, please allow Rufai to be the interviewer. He has the nerves to give tough questions. Abati tries trys to sit on the fence.
Abati has wined and dined with them, so he would rather not blow too much hot or cold. Our jèkòjèkò journalists ask questions as if the interview is to showcase or sell their guests for a future election. The same way Akeredolu rubbed oil on IBB during his lackluster interview. No wonder Fani KAYODE called them “brown envelope journalists “
Whether I like it or not, this IBB is the most consequential Nigerian Leader. I hate to admit it He created every policy or institution in this country.. MAMSER, NDLEA, SSS, DIA, NDE, NIPSS, 6-3-3-4, Primary Health care, DFRRI... It is really unbelievable

is IBB still alive?? Anyway with what he stolen from the country is enough for him and his next next generation to lived on!! Well we the Nigerians did not forgive you and your family......
Disagree with your comment about Ngozi, she is a very brilliant journalist and the question she asked IBB are extremely intelligent and deep ones. She can't answer her questions
Fulani security agents are currently abducting and killing Igbo youths and IBB is silent. Anyone who does not speak against the violence and insecurity across Nigeria might as well remain silent.
I don’t really dislike this tribalistic,sentimental and insincere comments like this, the person interviewing was an Igbo woman, and u did not ask why she did not ask such question but to accuse the person interviewed why he did not talk about what was not asked to him.
@@adeyemigbeleyi9677 The problems facing Nigeria is obvious during Buhari’s government. Nigerian journalists are not no free , perhaps she is afraid of being targeted. Remember Dele Giwa killed during Babangida’s regime. In my opinion, people like him and all ex military heads of state should not be given a voice. They all have led Nigeria to this mess. He had his chance twice.

The questions are molded by IBB himself.Maybe he called for the interview just to make himself relevant.But he still remained the father of corruption in Nigeria.
Love him or hate him, Babaginda is one of the most intelligent leaders we ve had. Arguably very corrupt, but has greater understanding of this nation. One could only wish he practiced what he now preached.
What is the value of such intelligence if it was never used for the benefit of the country and its growth?? No one needs that sort of intelligence without moral fortitude
It is an under statement when I refer to IIBB as the best PRESIDENT Nigeria has ever had. I saw ingenuity, Creativities, practicality in leadership, Nationalism, inclusions, social integrations and other positive ties too many to mention. Needless talking about legacies like making it possible that a Yoruba Nationalist became a President. He taught Nigeria Leadership elites how highly productive it is to employ the services of Creative technocrats for positively resourceful governance. At this point, I remember how resourceful people like Chu Okongwu, Omo Omoruiyi, & Prof. Humphrey Nwosu were in their respective Ministries in IBB'S government. This doesn't to say that he was a perfect leader for no one can ever be. Notwithstanding, IBB is an ICON of Leadership worthy of emulation. He was never tribal. I PRAY FOR MERCY, & GRACE TO LIVE LONGER IN GOOD HEALTH & ABUNDANCE IN J E S U S Name..Amen.
We have to rewrite the starting with YOU. You were: 1. The one who FLOATED the Naira at a time when you haven't a Clue how to float a currency. The result was NAIRA SANK. It's still sinking. 2. YOU cut salaries of civil servants and in one fell swoop DESTROYED THE MIDDLE CLASS. Today Nigeria has more poor people than India. You didn't know that the civil servant s represent the backbone of Nigeria middle class. 3. You created Rural Electrification as a means to LOOT money from the salaries of civil servants Your LEG-TRICITY broke the economic leg of Nigeria. Egypt produces about 3 times of what Nigeria produces. We are still wallowing in the DARKNESS you started.
Thank you so much Ngozi, for this wonderful interview. I 'm happy for the professionalism you employed throughout the interview. Now I am beginning to see IBB, differently. So glad he treated all your questions, including the June 12 cancellation, which he had always, refused to attempt. I like to congratulate him on his new age and status in life.
