Due respect to you, nonetheless, you have a funny way of pronouncing the word ''Colonel''. It is a bi-syllabic word rather than a tri-syllabic word. So, the ''LO'' is silent. Pronounced Conel.
In a country prone to amnesia and distortion of history, this channel is a breath of fresh air. Thank you for your efforts in preserving the record of events in contemporary Nigeria.
If Nigeria were to be governed well, Nigeria would have been a super power in Africa, shame on Nigeria, the only country in Africa with the most head of state but still behind
@@emmychannel5563 Except that IBB himself is a snake with a poisonous venom, who present himself as a friend but is exactly what he is. A "snake". He is top on the list of those who wrote the scripts that got us where we are today.
It's sad to read some Nigerians praising IBB because the Buhari that is in power now rates poorly in comparison. But on a scale of 1 to 10, if Buhar is rated 1/10, IBB will rate 4/10. The latter is still not a pass mark. The only reason IBB won't score poorly as Buhari is because he didn't author mass killing of Nigerians, though he did his own mass killings under the cover. Some he directly assassinated with public knowledge. The only difference is that IBB was more personable. I sort of prefer the Buhari kind of devil. He doesn't hide his antics unlike IBB. It is Nigerians that are largely stupid for their error of judgment. As the saying goes, once bitten twice shy. Twice bitten reflect stupidity. Buhari second time out was made possible by Nigerians. So they should take responsibility. And the sad part is that they would still make the same mistake again.
Buhari's was defeated in 1985 simply because of his diplomatic conflict with the UK, 30 years later, he fixed that and everything else played in his favour.
@@Ikukundu Do you live in Nigeria? make a video, talk any nonsense about Buhari, make sure it gather up to 30k views and see if DSS will not arrest you within 48hrs and there will be no repercussion for that
It wasn't over trow, it was a palace coup planned by the Northern elders, and Buhari's returned to become President was another arraignment in between them, the Northern leaders and Emarh. And Buhari can tell the whole world about Tunde ldiagbon's death.
Your story is not accurate. You don't have the facts. You didn't mention the actual accounts. You didn't mention Brig-Gen Lawan Gwadabe, Col Umar Kangiwa, Brig-Gen J Shagaya, Brig-Gen Joshua Madaki etc. IBB was to be retired over his involvement with drugs. Hence the the reason for the elimination of Dele Giwa. (Gloria Okon was supposed to have been executed but D Giwa saw her in London.)Idiagbon had warned Buhari not to allow IBB out of his site. It was Sallah and Idaigbon was the head of the Nigerian delegation on pilgrimage to Saudi Arabia. On getting to Katsina, IBB asked permission to visit his uncle in Zaria less than an hr's drive from Daura, Katsina. Abacha had a jet waiting for him there and he flew back to Lagos immediately. On arrival (refer to Gen Domkat Bali's media interview after he was retired) IBB summoned the members of the ruling Supreme Military Council. Announced himself as the President, C-in-C. His role wasn't that significant in the coup that brought Gowon to power. His mate late Lt-Col Dimka, played a more sensitive role. The likes of Late Gens' Usman Hassan Katsina, Joeseph Garba, Martin Adamu, TY Danjuma, Bisalla and many others that played roles in the counter coup. The counter coup of Orkar. The reason the coup failed was as a result of then five Northern States that Orkar cut off from Nigeria (Sokoto, Kano, Kaduna, Borno and Gongola States) The coup was successful and Orkars's first or second speech mentioned IBB under their custody. Lt or Capt Mukoro, officer on duty for the armoured vehilces had been playing Chess with IBB's ADC late Col UK Bello (Bello got into an armoured vehicle with the intention of fighting against the coup plotters. When he discovered that the vehicles had been dismantled, he started to give counter orders from the top of the armoured car. At that point on hearing the counter orders, Mukoro asked who was that and he was told it was the President's ADC. He gave his boys orders to kill UK Bello.) while his boys crippled the mechanism of the armoured vehicles. Rumors has it that the late Ibrahim Abacha was the one who recued IBB and drove him out of Dodan Barracks. Hence Ibrahim Abacha's financial growth began for his loyalty and role for saving IBB. Ikeja Cantonment is not a key military institution but the Garrisson Command I think on Ozumba Mbadiwe and Dodan Barracks. FRCN is a key factor during a coup because when you announce from there, there will be confusion in the country. That is why the FRCN is heavily guarded both in Lagos and Abuja to this current day. Dimka's counter has two sides to IBB's role. Gen TY Danjuma then Chief of Army Staff during the Dimka's coup in his book claimed IBB's role was not anything special. However, IBB in his own book said he was allowed into FRCN by the coup plotters because of his relationship with Dimka. When one of IBB's godsons (forgotten his name, but he was a constant visitor to IBB's residence even for meals.) said to Dimka to shoot IBB or the coup will fail. IBB said he told Dimka that he wasn't worried if he died because he knew Dimka will take good care of IBB's family. (A promise IBB failed to keep on his part after Dimka was sentenced to die and Dimka in-turn asked the same favor) It was after IBB left him that Gen Danjuma gave strict orders to IBB to level FRCN but Dimka had escaped by then. There's a lot more to be said but I have tons of work. I have omitted many other sensitive names that played vital roles too. There are books written by late soldiers that tell most of this stories and the roles some of them played.
IBB when he got into power, weakened the Police and Military because he feared they might be used to remove him from power. Abacha, was involved in every coup in Nigeria's history, except the first one by the Igbos.
There was nothing really fantastic about buhari when he was the head of state. Idiagbon was in charge nd it was when he tunde idiagbon blessed memory went for leser haji that babangida was able to act.
It amazes me how those of you who a few short years ago called Jonathan Dr. Dumbo , campaigned vigorously for his defeat would now turn against the anointed one whom you voted to stop corruption and move the country forward. Blinded by your primitive bigotry quickly forgot that the great Fela once serenaded with such lyrics as "no be outside Buhari dey, no be outside they kill dem students, na craze world be that, ANIMAL IN CRAZY MAN SKIN".Sai baba.Sai Buhari!!!!!
@@christieatuh Dr "Dumbo'" must be laughing his head off. I would. 7 WASTED YEARS, A CONTRACTING ECONOMY, MASSIVE INSECURITY, NO LIBERTY FOR THE PEOPLE AND YOU WANT TO TELL ME THIS IS A DEMOCRACY. COUNT ME OUT BY ALL MEANS.
Babangida can not eliminate Buhari then because it was arrangements between him, the Northern elders, and Emirs. Don't kill him just take him out of office. ......all because he listened to his Tunde ldiagbon's advice because of the killings going on now in Nigeria today which could have started since 1998 but Idiagbon was not in the support of it and that was the reason Buhari can not trust him. President Buhari can explain more about Tunde ldiagbon's death.
Those praising IBB were probably toddlers in the days of IBB govt. How in heaven can anyone praise IBB, who authored the demise of Nigeria. He annulled a free and fair election and is on record as one of the most corrupt. It was in his days that drug dealers, and 419 fraudsters that have now graduated into yahoo-yahoo ruled the streets.
Honestly The sorry I heard while growing up in the 90’s is different from this . That means 2 of my uncles lied to us . Cos they said buhari and Babangida went to hajj together under the pretence of Babangida persuading buhari to let’s them go to hajj together at the same time . Then Babangida claimed he has stomach problems while in Mecca and he needs to return to Nigeria for his medication. Only to return to Nigeria to announced himself as the new head of state after staging the coup with some loyal military personnel’s . 😂😂😂. Please confirm to me if this is a lie cos it’s a different story on your video . lol .
D man he know dat buhari is ex army but during dat time he has no ammunition to defend an d coop succeeds why nw in nijay we think arny go just sombi go like dat
Ur narration isn't complete without mentioning some key actors who help in d coup,eg u mentioned David mark who was a military Gov in Niger St,though an insider since he is loyal to lbb,but not in control of pure military weapons.One name u omitted is Lt col John shagaya who was a Commander of a strategic military armoury at lkeja contornment ,which u didn't mention.Another guy is Lt col MC Alli who was of d intelligent unit,though with Gen Idiagbon as staff officer in d dodan barrack office of state house.His role was to put surveillance on d two,Buhari n ldiagbon,n he did well,hence he was rewarded with gov of plateau as soon as d coup succeeded.
IBB was a God sent then, how can we get another IBB in the era for the army of these days are blind. Buhari is now given us 10x punishment now bcos of what happen to him then, but God will shame him.
Looking back NOW, IBB would be remembered as the most VISIONARY/ EGALITARIAN and REALISTIC leader of our time. Though a Muslim, he foresaw Buhari, annulled a muslim/ Muslim Abiola ticket.
One of the most insane comments I am reading here. How does some Nigerians reason? Evil is evil. It doesn't matter if one evil brought about less pain when compared to another evil.
@@Akinwalesegun please look up "insane comment'. I was not raised that way. My OPINION is IBB still remain the best we've had so far since the good old days of Belewa. The SW based media hated him because of an annulment. But that was also to avert. Abacha's inevitable coup.
Nigerians must be walking dead to vote for Muhammadu Buhari to become president in 2015. Nigerians forgot what he did after he overthrew Shehu Shagari... Buhari has always been clueless! Tunde Idiagbon was the brains during the military dictatorship of Buhari. The military regimes have been a total failure for Nigeria and the civilian govts since 1999 have been corrupt, incompetent and masters of skulduggery! Nigerians have been living under repression and oppression by successive govts for decades!
There was nothing to prosecute, beside his mission was to overthrow him , not to kill him, had he killed him, he his regime won’t have survive it. It will have collapsed earlier than it did. He is not stupid. He knows that he had nothing to gain by killing Buhari.
@@victoredwards3959 Hummmmmm 🤔 I believed if Buhari is an Yoruba man or igbo man trust me they will finish him immediately and waste him !!! Why they send Obasonjo to prison ? but for me 90/% I don’t trust him anyway !! Because they may Planning it is reason why they brought him to become President second time 😏
@@alhajiaremualakufoibadan2487 . Maybe so, but if you believe the way the coup was planned, Babangida and his gang , has no intention in killing buhari . For few reasons, Buhari is a Muslim, and from the north , and also he is a Fulani. And those guys don’t forget or forgive. He got away with killing vista , because, even though he was from the north, he was a Christian , and from a very small tribe in Niger. Had vista been a Muslim and a proper Husia man . He won’t have tried it . Babangida is a evil man , he is not a genius, he was just a lucky man.
