One of the most enduring legacies of the Buhari government has been the War Against Indiscipline (WAI).
Launched on 20 March 1984, the policy tried to address the perceived lack of public morality and civic responsibility of Nigerian society. Unruly Nigerians were ordered to form neat queues at bus stops, under the eyes of whip-wielding soldiers.
Civil servants who failed to show up on time at work were humiliated and forced to do "frog jumps". Minor offences carried long sentences. Any student over the age of 17 caught cheating on an exam would get 21 years in prison. Counterfeiting and arson could lead to the death penalty.
Personal life.
In 1971, Buhari married his first wife, Safinatu (née Yusuf) Buhari (First lady of Nigeria December 1983 – August 1985). They had five children together, four girls and one boy. Their first daughter, Zulaihat (Zulai) was named after Buhari's mother. Their other children are Fatima, Musa (deceased son), Hadiza, and Safinatu.
In 1988, Buhari and his first wife Safinatu divorced. In December 1989, Buhari married his second and current wife Aisha Buhari (née Halilu). They also had five children together, a boy and four girls: Aisha, Halima, Yusuf, Zarah and Amina.

Happy birthday to him.

@Luqman, Onyii, Oliver: Incorruptible is like a title to his name. He is widely known as a man who frowns at corruption...

Someone is 75 years old in 2017. He wrote WAEC in 1953. This means that he was 11 years old when he wrote WAEC.
2017 - 1953 = 64.
75 - 64 = 11.
Only a genius can do such thing.
Endy, pls fear God.
Incorruptible indeed.

Exit Plan
Our president made us to believe that he's 75yrs old yesterday when indeed, he's already a grand octogenarian.
Be the judge with this simple arithmetic...
Let's play...
@M Buhari Obtained his controversial, questionable and still missing WASC in 1953!
2017-1953= 64yrs ago
Marking his 75th Birthday yesterday...
75 - 64 = 11yrs
Invariably,
Our president obtained his WASC at the age of 11 in 1953? Wow! What a genius pupil he was in his days hey?!
😅
I still wonder how many kids in those days finished from the high school at the age of 11 except for a genius like Buhari....
Further more, because 1957, the year that he joined the army is a constant that can NEVER changed, back or forward dated on any record it means that our lpresident joined the army at the age of 15.
2017 - 1957 = 60yrs ago
Subtracting the year that he joined the army from his age today...
75 - 60 = 15yrs
This means that Mohammadu Buhari was commissioned into the Nigerian Army as a full lieutenant with 2 pips (stars) at the age of 15...
Another genius and brilliant feat there!😅😅
You can fool some people sometimes, but, you can not fool all the people all the time...
The question is, do we still need a docile octogenarian to continue to rule this country when a couple of civilised countries have sound, agile and brilliant presidents even in their 40s?
Change begins with you!
