Abacha explained the Shonekan coup to me- Ibrahim Babangida on Straight Talk with Kadaria 44b

[@kunlesotunde3229]

There was no security problem. I was in Nigeria at the time. There would have a smooth transition. Bloody liar!

[@kennytalabi3964]

Interesting how none of his own people from the noth really ever criticise him and his horrid legacy on social media...

[@Emeka7777]

I have never see a Nigerian interviewer ask difficult questions like this lady. Weldone to her.

[@uknowamsaying]

Pearce Sammy Exactly what I was thinking within the first few minutes. The best interview questions I have have seen from a Nigerian journalist. Most of them are just useless, she is class.

[@Yorubapod]

I'm super proud of that woman. She is a model journalist! Wow! This feels good.

[@KeleJosephAAgi]

I hope she isn't eliminated. She's too smart. Too honest. Brilliant. She basically wanted to say you are full of shit.

[@manymen8792]

IBB wants to dribble pass her questions but she's indeed a pro to ask smart questions. History & Nigeruans will never forgive IBB for selling off Nigeria

[@myyesisyes1846]

This man is more than any ruler Nigeria ever had when it has to do with power, he was and he is still untouchable. Everything he said here is enough to atleast prosecute him for crime against humanity.He simply made it clear that he was aware and he was in support of every thing Abacha did and he claimed that some prominent Nigerians were part of it. It is not a doubt at all that this heartless dictator is above the law, no wonder Oputa panel stopped broadcasting at his invitation. May the Almighty help Nigeria when it comes to doing things right, this man should be arrested, prosecuted and if found guilty (which he can never escape going by his statements here) be jailed or executed.He is not in any way different from Abacha, If Abacha stole for 4years and a hypocrite like Obasanjo claimed to have recovered some of this stolen money back, what happened to the money this wicked despot stole for 8years? Well, Obasanjo himself is a known criminal that never get punishment for his looting.

[@theobarclayeke2972]

What IBB was saying invariably, was that the northern military leaders, who by their nature are habitual coup plotters, were not ready at that time to cede power to a southerner, even if that southerner was a Muslim, like Abiola. People should not be deceived by IBB's Pius demeanor here. He was the enabler of the Abacha coup that set this country back. He deserves to be tried. I have no admiration for dictators whatsoever.

[@onil1171]

There's only one place for Babangida in Nigeria and that is in front of a firing sqaud.

[@superbchannel3167]

This guy is talking rubbish If he was worried about security, he could have discussed that with the incoming president, who would have made a decision best for his government.

[@tunescotaiwo5768]

as old at he his , he continues lies Ole nla, why did you put interim to the power u a lies

[@yinkoos]

He is talking rubbish.He never intended to relinquish power. Abiola had a mandate which he denied.

[@keltar2007]

[@OmoOwa]

thank you Kadaira, you are ranked among the best of interviewers in the world. As for IBB he is still lying at his age. Repent and perhaps Nigerians will forgive you for all the evil and hardship you brought on us. As my father calls you BABA IGIDA!!!!

[@oreade_channel]

So funny he cannot explained the June 12 mistake. He stuttered but as usual would not accept his faults. he brought us to this pass.

[@Abule1989]

This evil should be in jail. He killed Nigeria!

[@reubenreuben5342]

It was a strong plan between him and the northern military officier

[@ukwuteyinorsunday4037]

ibb should tell Nigerians the truth. abiola failed to return the money ibb gave him which was Samuel do embezzlement frm Liberia which ibb kept in abiola acct..............

[@olugbosa2923]

No wonder GEJ ( oga Jonathan) called him his Father. Like Father like Son.

[@iderakay2760]

IBB terribly cornered in here . He dint have any excuse

[@funmifalade4176]

He must be prosecuted and hang him for what he did to the masses. But God is going to judge him and l know he will never have peace. The word of God said there's no peace for the wicked. Babangida and Abacha's family can never know peace.

[@murtalamuhammad6455]

The former President was side -stepping majority of those question which she supposed to insists on their answers.

[@adj5767]

when we wanted him to answer for his crimes at the Oputa panel he ignored everyone. why now and who is listening? mtcheww

[@emmanueltange]

To think this man is still considered as a very important politician and his views are routinely sort after by all major politicians in Nigeria is an absolute disgrace. If you ask me, i'll say it tells you everything you need to know about the political class in Nigeria

[@aaadeniran01]

A perpetual liar.

[@Be5andebe]

MichaelThe truth will set you free.now Gen Babangida is talking with fork tongue.did he promised Nigerians,when he took first power,that elections will be held in 4 yrs ?.did he told Nigerians or not that he and col. yar' adua attend a football match.and they saw,how Nigerians are happy,did Col. Yar'adua ask him,did you see what I saw ? and you said" what is it" and he said if Nigerians are free from military dictator.nigerians will be happier,and that is or why this Col initiated the coup against Gen. Gowon for a return to civil rule.Did he told Nigerians he made a deal with Gen Abacha,that he can have anything,once gen Buhari is removed.you admitted this in a Nigerian magazine.Do you knows that Gen Abacha is a criminal or not ?,that some junior army officer came to you,that gen Abacha stole money in Dollar meant for military hospital,and you did nothing.we Nigerians are not stupid

[@isahasan8788]

IBB killed the Yoruba Man Abiola.

[@johnsonricky2044]

+Isa Hasan Because even the Yoroba man was corrupt and a thief, In 1977 he stole the tele communication money. so IBB don't need to wroth in hell, they where both evil men. THATS THE TRUTH.

[@adedamolaifaturoti8740]

Yes the lady is an excellent interviewer asking all the right questions and all Babangida did was waffle through with nonsensical answers. Truth be told his hidden agenda was after raping the nation to hand over to his fellow kleptomaniac, Abacha to do same. Karma will eventually catch up with him some day for the corruption he institutionalized in the country which we are still yet to shake off 30 years after his inglorious rule.

[@highbury10]

This video is so edited, It is unreal. Babangida catapulted the rut and corruption that plagued Nigeria. He should be ashamed of himself.

[@herbertspiritual9826]

Biafrans, opted for self-determination after a long period of heart-searching and after making desperate efforts to save the Federation of Nigeria from disintegration. More than any other people in the former Federation, Biafrans contributed their human and material resources to the cause of national unity. From 1914, when the British amalgamated Northern and Southern Nigeria, Biafrans began to leave their homeland in large numbers to settle in several places among the Fulani-Hausa in the North and the Yoruba in the West. In those areas they opened up new avenues of commerce and industry and at the same time built new homes and erected places of worship and institutions of learning. By so doing they came to acquire a real stake in the progress and well-being of ALL parts of the country. They regarded themselves as citizens of Nigeria to an extent that no other group in the country ever did. Wherever Biafrans sojourned their industry, resourcefulness and drive marked them out from their neighbours. In the North, particularly, the distinction was enhanced by religion; for while the majority of the Fulani-Hausa population were Muslims the Biafrans were and still remain mostly Christians. In addition, the progress and dynamism of Biafrans contrasted with the tardiness and conservatism of their neighbours who were generally unable to achieve the same standards of efficiency and prosperity. The envy and animosity the Biafrans excited were manifested periodically, such as in the massacre of Biafrans by Northern Nigerians at Jos in 1945 and at Kano in 1953. While Biafrans abroad were thrusting ahead and setting the pace for the economic development of Nigeria, those in Biafra itself were diligently exploiting the human and material resources of their homeland. Their ready acceptance of modern ideas and techniques brought them to the forefront of economic and political activities. Democratic by tradition, they championed democratic ideals and at the same time advocated the concept of a united country. They resolutely opposed the reactionary ideas of the Fulani-Hausa ruling elite which controlled the North and dominated the Federal Government. They also resisted the vicious and unscrupulous methods by which the Northerners sought to perpetuate their hold on the political strings of Nigeria. It was largely this confrontation between the forces of progress, represented by Biafrans, and those of reaction, represented by the Fulani-Hausa which culminated in the Nigerian census crisis of 1963-64, the Federal election crisis of 1964 and the Western Nigeria election crisis of 1965 which brought the military to power in January 1966. During the massacre of 29 May 1966, which was the reaction of the Fulani-Hausa to Unification Decree No. 34 of the Supreme Military Council, Biafrans were the sole victims and there was no discrimination with regard to their individual ethnic origin. The massacre of Biafran army officers and men by their Northern "comrades-in-arms" on 29 July 1966, and of Biafran civilians later, followed the same pattern: they were killed only because they were Biafrans. Those who survived the pogrom fled back to their homeland disillusioned and embittered. Their investments in other parts of the Federation had been destroyed and those whom they held dear had been killed or maimed. The families in Biafra who received them back shared their grief, and hardly any family in Biafra escaped the loss of a member or the return of a destitute relative needing relief. The Northern Assailants showed no sign of remorse. On the contrary they were jubilant over the expulsion of the Biafrans in their midst. The Biafrans themselves would never think of going back to expose themselves to the risk of a repeat of their previous harrowing experience. Thus the pogrom of 1966 resulted in an irreversible movement of population. In spite of all they had suffered during earlier massacres and during the more recent pogrom, the people of Biafra sought no revenge but strove strenuously to find a peaceful solution which would keep Nigeria together. The Northerners, on the contrary, rejected every overture, ignored the implementation of agreements which had been mutually arrived at, and relied on their military occupation of Lagos and Western Nigeria to humiliate Biafrans even further. Two of these agreements stand out clearly. As far back as 9 August 1966 representatives of the Military Governors and Lt.-Col. Gowon agreed in Lagos that, inter alia "Immediate steps should be taken to post military personnel to barracks within their respective regions of origin". It was generally recognised that tension would be reduced and Biafrans would have less fear of attending meetings elsewhere in Southern Nigeria if this measure was taken. The implementation of this agreement was pressed on numerous occasions from August 1966 until the collapse of the Federation, but was totally ignored by the Northern "conquerors". Again, after long persuasion, the military rulers of Northern Nigeria agreed to attend a conference at Aburi, Ghana, in January 1967. Far-reaching decisions aimed at restoring the Federation to normalcy were taken at this meeting. As is now well-known, the Northern military rulers at first repudiated the decisions as soon as they returned to Lagos but, following further persuasion both from within and outside Nigeria, proceeded to implement only a portion of the Aburi decisions. At the same time the Federal Government contrary to an Aburi decision stopped paying its staff serving in Biafra, and withheld the Biafran share of Federal revenues. The protests of Biafrans against the attitude of the North were met with threats of military subjugation. The proposal that Nigerian military lenders should meet in the presence of named African heads of States was spurned. The stoppage of salaries of Biafrans in the Federal public Service and Corporation compelled the Government of Biafra to pay these salaries in addition to bearing the financial burden of rehabilitating other refugees and displaced persons. Then the Lagos Government continued to withhold the periodic payments and remittances from Federal funds due to the Government of Biafra, the Biafran Government was forced to take steps to stop the continued accumulation of debt by the Lagos Government by promulgating the Revenue Collection Edict. Thereafter, the Lagos Government mounted a blockade aimed at the economic strangulation of Biafra. It is this calculated and systematic persecution of Biafrans in the former Federation of Nigeria that has driven us to seek justice and salvation in independence. Molested, taunted, hounded, murdered and finally driven away from other parts of Nigeria, Biafrans have been compelled to acknowledge that close association with Fulani-Hausa is fraught with disaster. We have therefore taken up the challenge to our liberty and dedicated ourselves to the struggle for our survival. Some well-meaning observers have expressed doubts as to whether the Republic of Biafra can survive both economically and politically as an independent, sovereign state. Firstly, they hint that Biafra had been so tied to the economy of the rest of Nigeria that if the federal links were severed Biafrans would suffer a fall in their present standard of living. In the second place they have tried to emphasize that Biafra consists of a composite group of people who lack the attributes of a nation. Such views have obviously arisen from an imperfect understanding of Biafra, past and present. It is, among other things, in order to enlighten the enquirer and reassure the waverer that this publication is being issued. In the following pages the reader will discover the real Biafra, a country which has through the ages undergone a political as well as an economic transformation resulting in the emergence of a virile and united nation that is capable of sustaining itself in the committee of nations.
