Nigeria is complex and difficult to manage - former head of state, Ibrahim Babangida





Nigeria is?complex and?difficult to manage - former head of state, Ibrahim Babangida
General Ibrahim Babangida, a former military head of state has described Nigeria as complex and a difficult entity to manage.

Babangida spoke from his residence in Minna when the leadership of  Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, minority caucus of the House of Representatives, led by Ndudi Elumelu, paid him a visit.

Consequently, he called on the legislators to perform their responsibilities honourably and diligently to make the country one entity. Babangida, who said he had been following recent developments in the country, noted:
“I am passionate in observing what is going on in the country; I have developed lots of interest in the ongoing across the country and I think the leadership of the House of Representatives, the speaker, the opposition leadership and everyone are all doing well.
“You represent the people and it is what the people wish that you take up. I want to commend you for doing your job honourably and I urge you not to give up. The country is complex and difficult because in Nigeria, there are as many opinions as there are the number of people in the country. Nigeria is a very vibrant society and what is important is the determination to carry on and you have to remain very resilient in everything you do for the benefit of the country.”
Babangida assured the lawmakers of his support where necessary, saying: “We are all together for the progress of the country and now that you have succeeded in your elections, it is now time for you to settle down to do a lot of good work for your constituency and for the country.’’
Members on the entourage of the minority leader include the Minority Whip, Gibbion Gwari and Deputy Minority Whip, Adekoya Adesegun. Others are Efe Afe,  Kpam Jimin Sokpo, Robert Tyough, Soyinka Anjola,  Femi Bamishele, Benjamin Mzondu and Samuel Onuigbo.

Please sir shut up! You all have the opportunity to make things right in this country but failed too. The division is pronounced because you all failed to provide is with the basic amenities to ameliorate deplorable living conditions of the masses.

The Evil genius talking. in other words, Oga, what you mean is that Nigeria is unmanageable. Now we know the reason why you ppl go up there and come down achieving little or nothing. But when it comes to enriching your pockets, Nigeria becomes easy and manageable.

Nigeria is not difficult to manage, its just filled with vision-less rulers that have made the people slaves to money.

And your regime worsened the complexity.For those who did not know,here is a bit of history. 1.Before you came to power in 1985,the Naira was virtually at par with the Dollar but you connived with the imperialists (IMF,World Bank)to devalue it.Today,we are still suffering the repercussion.Brain drain and unemployment became rampant and many of our best brains left the country as it become more profitable to wash plates in Europe and America than to be a medical doctor or lecturer in Nigeria.Hundreds of local industries that depended on foreign machinery collapsed due to high exchange rate.It was also during your tenure that illegal migration of Nigerians gathered steam .A professor once said that before 1985,what he earned as a WAEC examiner could pay his airfare to London,but today,same amount can't convey him to his village. ]2.You annulled the best election in Nigeria's history ,leading to bloody crises that claimed thousands of lives and produced Abacha,who competes with you for the title of Nigeria's most evil leader of all times. 3.You executed more people for alleged coup plot than all your predecessors combined. 4.You institutionalized corruption and bastardized our politics. 5.You are widely believed to have ordered the murder of journalist,Dele Giwa via parcel bomb in 1986..I still remember the images of his devastated,sorrow ridden, widowed mother and his equally devastated young widow.He was 39 and his contemporaries (Ray Ekpu,Yakubu Mohammed and Dan Agbese) are now in their mid seventies. .In Nigeria of that time,only the state would have got the wherewithal for such sophisticated murder So,keep quiet and enjoy the grace of old age that God has given you even though you denied many people the benefit of old age.

THIS MAN IS A JOKE. WHO ARE TGE FOOLS VISITING HIM. HIM AND OBASANJO ARE THE MAIN PROBLEMS OF THIS COUNTRY MOST ESPECIALLY HIM. BY COLLECTING MONEY FROM.THE IMF AND DEVALUEING THE NAIRA AND WHICH IT CONTINUED TO BE DEVALUED BECAUSE OF HIS INCESANT BORROWING AND DIVERSION AND CORRUPTION WHEN HE WAS A HEAD OF STATE WHICH OTHER LEADERS PRECEDED COPIED HIM TILL DATE. HE IS THE BIGGEST LOOTER IN THE HISTORY O F NIGERIAN LEADERSOF ALL THE LEADERS UNTIL.ABACHA CAME AND TRUED TO BREAK HIS RECORD AND THEN OBAOBASANJO . WHAT MAKES HIM.YHE WORST WAS HIS PATGET O C ECONOMIC POLICIES WHICH IS THE KEY FOUNDATION OF NIGERIAS ECONOMIC PROBLEM.TILL DATE .HIS DECISION TO BIRTOW MONEY FROM INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL BODIES LIKE THE IMF AND WORLD BANK LED TO THE S.A.P PROGRAMME WHICH I REMEMBER AS A PRIMARY SCHOOL.KID STARTED TO DERAIL YHE ECONOMONY . INVRSTORS MANUFACTURERS STARYED HAVING ISSUES PEOPLE STARTED TO GO TO CHINA TO IMPORT SUBSTANDARD PRODUCTS YEARS PAST AND IT GOT WORSE UNDER HIS SEVEN YEARS PATHETIC S.A.P RULE .HE DESTROYED NIGERIA. I WAS LUCKY I WAS BORN IN 1981 I STILL MET A FEW GOLDEN YEARS OF NIGETIAS GOOD ECONOMY AS A KID BUT IT ALL FINALLY WENT BURST IN 1991. BY THAT TIME THE 50K COIN COULD NOT BUY ANYTHING AND HE HAD STARTED PRODUCING HIGHER NAIRA NOTES LIKE THE FIFTY NAIRA AND HUNDRED NAIRA .THESE ARE SUGNS OF A CIRRUPT AND DESTABILISED ECONOMY. PRIOR TO BABANGIDAS TIME AS HEAD OF STATE THE NAIRA WAS STRONGER THAN THE DOLLAR AND BRITISH POUNDS. EVEN UNDER THE DULLANT BUHARIS MILITARY RULE. BANANGIDA ALSO ENCOURAGED CORRUPTION ,419 FRAUD, DRUG DEALING WHICH HE HIMSELF AND HIS DECEASED WIFE WERE KINGPINS BEFORE HE WAS HEAD OF STATE AND WHICH HE KILLED DELE GIWA THE NEWSWATCH JOURNALIST WHO INVESTIGATED AND WAS ABOUT TO EXPOSE HIM. WE PRE MILLENIALS 8OS KIDS KNOW THIS STORY VERY WELL . BABANGIDA IS THE GRANDFATHER OF CORRUPTION , FRAUD, DRIG DEALING AND DESTROYER OF THE NIGERIAN VALUES AND NAIRA AND ECONOMY TILL DATE. HE SHOULD BE BEGGING GOD ALMIGHTY FIR FORGIVENESS AND BEGGING NIGERIANS AND NOT BEING A HYPOCRITE ADVISER TO CURRENT NIGERIAN POLITICAL LEADERS. IN A GOOD CIVILSED A D CORRUPT FREE SOCIETY BANANGIDA WOULD BE IN JAIL FOR LIFE AND ALL HIS MONEY AND ASSETS CONSIDERED AS VORRUPTVSTOLEN WESLTH TRACED AND RETURNED BACK TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT ACCOUNT AND SAME FOR HIS PREDECESSORS THAT HE TRAINED WHO ONLY COPIED WHAT HE STARTED NA.

Yes! I agree! Its complex and difficult to manage because when you mount the podium of power and you see the pot of gold, its hard to keep ones fingers out of it and focus on development. All form of integrity flies out the window thereby making it difficult to carryout promised mandates. It becomes an uncontrolled looting spree until the next innocent person mounts the podium and then the cycle continues. Very difficult country to manage I agree.
