IBB @ 75 Says He's Not An Evil Genius

Today 17th August 1941 in history, Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida, popularly known as IBB was born. He grew up to join the Nigeria Army and played major roles in most of the military coups in Nigeria (July 1966, February 1976, December 1983, August 1985, December 1985 and April 1990). He later became a military head of state and ruled Nigeria from 27 August 1985 to 27 August 1993, after he overthrew Major General Muhammadu Buhari (Now Nigerian President) in a military coup.

In a statement marking his 75th birthday, IBB stated that he is not an evil genius as been seen by most Nigerians. But during his regime as head of state, there was evidence of severe human rights abuses.
