Former military president, General Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida (rtd), is reportedly seriously ill, a source close to his hilltop mansion in Minna, the Niger State capital, informed us yesterday [Apr 17]. According to the source, the former military president has been ill for a while, resulting in his inability to attend most public functions. It was said it could not ascertain the real cause of his illness, but the source apart from saying that it was age-related, added that the former military president might be suffering from a relapse of the radiculopathy disease which has troubled the former Nigerian leader since he was head of state. According to the source, Babangida most times is unable to walk unaided without a walking stick or the assistance of his security personnel. The illness of the former military president became public last week when he attended the valedictory dinner for the former Niger State Chief Judge, Justice Fati Lami Abubakar and was aided out of the venue before the end of the event. It was said that Babangida now travels to Abuja frequently where he receives medical attention and has cut down on receiving visitors at his home. The source also said he has emaciated a lot and also looks pale. Babangida was Nigeria’s military president for eight years, but was forced to stepped down after he annulled the 1992 presidential election believed to have been won by the late Chief MKO Abiola.

WHAT KIND OF A HUMAN IS GENERAL BABANGIDA? 18/04/2016. Vol.01 CJ. Njoku
It is true that, we don’t wish death upon someone even when they are sick and dying. However, there is power in truth. Nigeria made well over $12 billion during the gulf war, up till now General Babangida has not given account of that money.
General Babangida killed Mr. Dele Giwa in cold blood. His cronies have all confessed to the sadistic murder of an innocent journalist, even those who carried out the murder have all confessed. General Babangida’s regime gave birth to the frequent bombings we experience in Nigeria roughly everyday. He is a major player in the Boko Haram epidemic.
General Babangida killed over 120 young military officers on a military jet that nose dived in a Lagos swamp. Well orchestrated by General Babangida because he was scared stiff of coup d'etat by young soldiers.
General Babangida killed his best friend General Maman Vatsa, because Vatsa was against his tyrannical leadership ideologies. General Babangida was the first and only head of state in the history of Nigeria to order open fire on innocent protesting university students. During his time in office he literally lunched and legalized cultism in the Nigerian universities.
General Babangida deposited billions of dollars in his Swiss accounts, and has countless massive properties all over the world. Up till now, General Babangida has never shown remorse for the colossal killings and disappearances of innocent Nigerian journalists, lawyers, politicians, activists, union leaders, student leaders, etc, who tried to oppose him.
General Babangida played a key role in the execution of Dr. Ken Saro Wiwa in alliance with his stooge, General Abacha.
General Babangida kept Nigeria in this outrageous situation today; otherwise no Nigerian would ever step out of Nigeria to seek for greener pastures anywhere in the world for any reason at all. He factually legitimized corruption in Nigeria. General Babangida has investments worth billions of dollars all over Europe, the US, and beyond. It is greed and inhuman while innocent Nigerians are suffering in miserable poverty.
During General Muhammadu Buhari's regime as a military leader, Nigeria never imported a single drop of fuel. We drilled our oil, we refined our oil, we exported our oil and we had enough fuel for everyone. How come we started importing fuel during Babangida's regime? That is the key question no one wants to ask.
General Babangida made one severe mistake by privatizing the Nigerian oil sector. Oil makes up 85% of the Nigeria annual budget. Oil makes up 95% of everything we have overseas. How can someone gamble with such a sensitive resource? The chief economic force of a nation (OIL).
Before General Babangida came to power, the naira was valuable on the international market driven by well educated and professional economists. General Babangida devalued the naira, today the naira is worthless.
General Muhammadu Buhari ran Nigeria for less than 2 years as a military leader and Nigeria changed overnight. Imagine what would have happened if he had ruled Nigeria for 5-10 years. Nigeria would have been stabilized, at least disciplined and free of corruption.
If General Muhammadu Buhari and General Tunde Idiagbon were allowed to run Nigeria without been overthrown by General Babangida; and if not for General Babangida's rigid leadership skills, Nigeria would have been one of the very best places to live on this planet earth.
General Babangida denied an innocent man (Chief MKO Abiola) his mandate to become Nigeria’s elected president after he successfully won the June 12 presidential election. That was not enough; General Babangida’s crony General Abacha deliberately jailed Chief Abiola. That was not enough General Abdulsalami Abubakar by design killed Chief Abiola in detention. All planned by General Babangida in the name of absurd power.
