		‘Tunde Idiagbon as he was widely known became the dirigible dragon of the regime sending a chill up the spine of defaulters of anti – indiscipline war, the war christened War Against Indiscipline (WAI) was a compulsion to moral reformation and ethical conduct.
		Idiagbon’s gusto throughout his appearance at the national scene was an unmistaken certitude.
		This shows that either the Nation in its grotto interpretations felt insecure with the ailing native tinkering of the likes of ‘Tunde Idiagbon or that the General was mistakenly sent with grotesque deal of misunderstanding minds contrived and conjured as a nation to channel a new course in a time begging for radical changes.

	Confessions of a prosecutor (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Muhammadu Buhari and Tunde Idiagbon, the former military head of state and his "Man Friday" who endorsed Decree 4, used the decree to impose the most restrictive anti-press freedom laws in Nigeria.
		Tunde Thompson and Nduka Irabor, who went to jail because of an evil law, can now find relief in the sense that the chief defender of Decree 4 and the very man who mounted arguments that led to their conviction, has finally confessed.
		The irony of Decree 4 is evident in the crusading credentials of Buhari and Idiagbon.

	USAfricaonline - General Tunde Idiagbon Departs
		Babatunde (Tunde) Idiagbon, one of the few respected officers and former second-in-command during the military rule of Gen. Mohammadu Buhari, January 1, 1984- August 1987 died on March 24, 1999.
		Where his military colleagues flinched and became the triple-horned architects of economic decline and king toads of the moral swamp and corruption which have dwarfed Nigeria's destiny, Tunde Idiagbon had the gumption and courage to jail the terribly corrupt, the not-so-corrupt and their team of enablers.
		Like Idiagbon, I also wonder why the SAME recycled and repackaged political juggernauts, shameless ethnic warlords, some of the more corrupt and divisive former soldiers/Generals, the train of former State-certified convicts and jailed destroyers of Nigeria's economy are leading many sections of Nigeria's newly-elected government.

		By virtue of their centrally regimented military training and doctrines, Idiagbon and Buhari were fundamentally unable to grasp the niceties of, and the political legitimacy they could have derived from holding fair and open trials.
		Tunde Thompson and Nduka Iraboh of The Guardian Newspapers were unfortunate enough to fall foul of Decree 4 and were imprisoned.

		However, after his overthrow, his deputy, Tunde Idiagbon returned to Nigerian from performing the Hajj along with his 16 year old son, who had also gone on the trip, thereby violating the decree established by the Buhari administration".
		Tunde Idiagbon was in Saudi Arabia to perform the lesser Hajj, or Umra as it is commonly called.
		The real pointer in this Idiagbon episode was that the probity, accountability and patriotism of the Buhari/Idiagbon administration was proven beyond any doubt by the return of Idiagbon to Nigeria after the government for which he is number two was overthrown in a coup.

		But luckily enough this piece is not on a gladiator still alive but in memory of late Gen. Tunde Idiagbon, the former Chief of General Staff, Supreme Headquarters and Deputy to Former Head of State General Mohammad Buhari.
		In fact, there were speculations that Obasanjo would have appointed Idiagbon into his cabinet immediately after the 1999 election but for the unnatural death which occurred after a sickness contacted at Abuja before returning to Ilorin his hometown.
		Within just one and half years, the regime in which Tunde Idiagbon was given a free hand to change the way we think, got Nigerians to appreciate, perhaps for the first time, the meaning of discipline and honesty in the polity through the War Against Indiscipline campaign.

		Buhari and Idiagbon understood clearly from the onset that Nigeria was a lawless country.
		Therefore, Buhari and Idiagbon set about inculcating discipline in the psyche of the average Nigerian by flogging and pillorying the people with native cane called koboko or implementing other forms of corporal punishment.
		Perhaps, if Buhari and Idiagbon were still in power today, the danfo and molue drivers in Lagos would not.

		Buhari had no respect for the extensive ethnic and religious diversity of our country and he showed it by the pattern of his appointments while in office (both he and Idiagbon were Muslims and northerners).

		Murtala Muhammed, Tunde Idiagbon, Olusegun Obasanjo, being leaders who demonstrated an innate capacity to be able to sanitise this long-plagued nation, learnt the hard way that too many formidable interests - representing the tremendous power of the irrational which hangs over the semblance of rationality - stand to be neutralised by the entrenchment of truth.
		That explains the untimely demise of Murtala Muhammed and Tunde Idiagbon (now lamented by a nation with a costly penchant for hindsight), leaving Olusegun Obasanjo as the perfect match for the world's most unruly and unprincipled group of human beings.
		The nets of Murtala Muhammed and Tunde Idiagbon caught too many rotten big fish, and that was why they had to die.

		In fact there were speculations that Obasanjo would have brought in Idiagbon to his government immediately after the 1999 election but for the unnatural death that began from a sickness in Abuja on his way back to Ilorin his hometown.
		He would have clocked 62 years this year if not for the death that took his life on March 24, 1999 just two month to the swearing in of the President Obasanjo into the first tenure as democratic president.

	A Response to Paul Mamza
		He may not have been a democrat, he may have had a tinge or whiff of arbitrariness of military manners and a hint of draconian enforcements of rules; just as such tactics were arguably harsh and yet needed for Nigeria’s circumstances as dictated by those times.
		The late General Idiagbon is not known for wealth or money or flamboyance, and multiplicity of girlfriends; he was, instead known for his sense of duty, his patriotism and his loyalty and steadfastness to the Nigerian cause.
		Paul Mamza’s analyses and examination of major individual character such as the late General Babatunde Idiagbon, is therefore seen from this important prism, we must analyze and examine in multiple ways, all those individuals and their policies, their attendant effects on our nation and continent.

		Probably the reason could be that Idiagbon refused most of present rich men to perpetuate their evil intention of getting rich.
		However, I should be of opinion that the family should start something first (an annual lecture) in recognising his contributions to his fatherland, somebody must definitely pick up from them sometime someday.
		The people in power are those who would have been consigned to the dustbin of history if Idiagbon had not been overthrown and as such, I am not surprised about their attitude to his legacy.

		Generals Idiagbon and Buhari instituted the War Against Indiscipline (WAI) program where Koboko-wielding soldiers flogged people mercilessly for dropping thrash on the streets, for jumping queues in post offices, banks and petrol stations.
		That did not happen, instead, the customs official simply asked him cordially to open his bag and dutifully searched his baggage after which the officer closed his bag and said, "welcome to Nigeria sir." A lot of people liked the results of the WAI program, but loathed the modus operandi of the military boys.
