President Muhammadu Buhari recently stirred the hornet`s nest when he said that all along, he was thinking that he was 74 years old, only to be told that he was 75 years. The issue that is now bothering students of history is ,at what point did the former military president, Gen. Ibrahim Babangida became older than Muhammadu Buhari?

During the coup of 1975 in which the head of state then Gen. Murtala Muhammed was killed, one of the leaders of the coup, Lt. Col. Buka Sukar Dimka had told Ibrahim Babangida that young officers in the army were envious of him (Babangida),because he was the youngest member of the Supreme Military Council (SMC), which was the highest military organ then.Buhari was also a member of the SMC at the time. Again, after the 1983, December 31st coup that removed President Shehu Shagari from office, the ring leaders of the coup, notably Ibrahim Babangida and Sani Abacha had resolved to hand over power to the most senior military officer from the north, who happened to be Muhammadu Buhari, who was not part of the plot. That was how Buhari became military head of state.

Last year August, Babangida celebrated his 76 years birthday, while Buhari is still thinking that he is 74 years. So, the question is, at what point in history did Babangida became older than Buhari? Does it mean that Buhari does not know his age or he is lying about it. If somebody does not know his age, he can look at that of his peer group or contemporaries and from theirs guess his own. At least former president Olusegun Obasanjo said that was what he did.

How can Babangida who was his junior both in age and in service in the army be celebrating 76 years birthday, while he (Buhari ), would still be thinking that he is 74. If this is not evidence of deceit, which is a form of corruption, then it should be senility. But if it is not any of the above, then it would lend credence to the speculation that his brain stopped booting in 1985,after he was booted out of office as a military head of state by the same Babangida and Abacha.

That was why he did not know that east and west Germany ceased to exist four years later(1989), the reason he told the German Prime Minister, Merkel in 2015 when he went on a state visit to Germany as an elected president that he was happy to be in Western Germany. A statement that shocked the world and embarrassed African s as a whole.

Lalasticlala;

Anybody that wants to deceive people can do anything, it is left for the fools that are deceived to begin to remain foolish.

Buhari again

Vegetable is about 87 years old. Only zombies think he is 73. Yet they call him man of Intergreedy.

That goes to confirm to you that This Buhari is not the same Buhari that won elections. Can he not remember how old he was when he took Cambridge Certificate exams? Does he not remember how old he was when he enlisted in the Nigerian army? In fact our mumu don too much.

lol buhari is a know liar

.A man that can't produce his certificate.
.A man that borrowed money to buy Election forms, but his children were all schooling abroad and his wife is a philanthropist and his son has 57M bike.
.A man whose cows are 150 in number, year in year out. Non reproduced and none died or was sold off.
. What is falsification of age to such a man?




. Nigerians wanted integrity and Buhari gave them his own version.
