TODAY IN HISTORY
1941— Ibrahim "Maradona" Babangida is born in Minna, present day, Niger State.
"Regrettably, it turned out that Major-General Muhammadu Buhari was too rigid and uncompromising in his attitudes to issues of national significance. Efforts to make him understand that a diverse polity like Nigeria required recognition and appreciation of differences in both cultural and individual perceptions, only served to aggravate these attitudes." — excerpt from the maiden speech of Major-General Ibrahim Babangida, August 27, 1985.
