Eulogies are pouring in for Nigeria's former president Muhammadu Buhari, but how true are they? This is what the economic indicators say about his 8 years in office.

Muhammadu Buhari, the former president of Nigeria who led the country as both a military ruler after a coup and later as the elected president, has died at the age of 82, his family said.

Nigeria's 15th president, Mohamadu Buhari, was laid to rest in his native home in Daura, northern Nigeria. He was laid to rest in a simple grave without a coffin.
