People like OBJ, IBB, Ab Dulsallam Abukar, Atiku, Tinubu and other maniacally fraudulent politicians, Should they love their lives MUST keep quiet and not over heat the polity, because iF the poor masses boil to point of no return, no private jet will fly, we will block access to their Airport and we will meet you all in your Hilltop mansions. They better be careful, because the poor masses have nothing to lose. Who doesn't know that OBJ has been totally tossed away from decision making that's why he is crying blue murder ? After Abacha's loot, who was the next in line to epitomize looting and turning kerosene and engine oil sellers to billionaires overnight ? Who turned Diesel sellers to billionaires overnight ? Who shared Oil wells from Niger Delta as spoils of war ? Who sold out Nigeria Airways ? Who sold Nitel ? Who sold NICON ? And where are the monies accrued from the sales ? |

Re: Obasanjo Accuses Jonathan Of Promoting Corruption by Nobody: 4:53pm On Dec 11, 2013 |
funshint: Obj might not be a saint but what he said are very valid. GEJ has been practically silent to corruption. Its gotten so worse that anytime anybody is accused of corruption, some disgruntled aides of the president will turn it into tribal war. During OBJs era a lot of heads rolled due to the anti-curruption campaign of those days starting with people from his region; S.M Afolabi(National I.D card scam), Tafa Balogun(former IG), Bode George(NPA scam), Sunday Einhdero, Chief Babalola&Femi Fani Kayode(former Ministers of Aviation)... Nobody raised alarm of tribal victimization because the Yorubas don't condole corruption even if you're the son of a king but under GEJs administration tribal sentiments has been at its peak when people are accused of corruption esp. from the SE of the country. GEJ only claims to fight corruption on paper. It's even a big dent on the president that he still has someone like Stella Oduah as a cabinet minister after the body of allegations against her. This is thesame President who didn't waste time in removing the Court of Appeal President(Justice Ayo Salami) just because he wasn't working for the interest of his party. Jonathans tenure will go down to be the most corrupt in the history of this country. How did we get here??!! I weep for this country!!!Absolute thrash! And what was the BENEFIT of PLAYING TO THE GALLERY and sacking those you listed? Did it lead to stable electricity, better roads, better aviation sector, restoration of rail transport system, improved infrastructural development in our schools, reduced unemployment, reduced poverty,etc? And most importantly, did the sack of those people reduce corruption in the country then? Did it stop or reduce the ghost workers syndrome? Did it stop the Halliburton and Seimens bribery scandal (linked directly to the presidency)? Did it stop electoral fraud, which is considered by many as the GREATEST form of corruption? How did it help in the alleged misappropriation of $16 billion in the NIPP power projects? How did it help in the alleged N50 million per legislator 3rd term bribery scandal that rocked the NASS? And so and so forth. And how much really (in terms of naira and kobo) did Nigeria save as a result of the sack of those people? And where was the extra funds, if any, invested? Was it in roads, railways, Airports, hospitals, schools,etc? Now lets compare the OBJ PLAYING TO THE GALLERY strategy of fighting corruption and the current president's SYSTEMATIC strategy of fighting corruption. 1. The Biometric based integrated pay roll system instituted by this govt has saved the nation a whopping N120 billion annually, which was lost in the past to Ghost workers. The benefit from this alone, exceeds whatever would have been gained by playing to the gallery. 2. Transparent privatisation of PHCN. This singular measure has completely freed that sector from public sector corruption. The govt contracts,bribery, etc are gone for good. 3. Eradication of the fraudulent fertilizer subsidy scheme. The Growth Enhancement Scheme (GES) instituted by this govt eradicated DECADES of fraud in the fertilizer distribution system. Farmers registered under the scheme now receive their fertilizer via mobile phones. Govt no longer awards contract for fertilizer purchase. No wonder the agric minister was recently made FORBES MAN OF THE YEAR 2013. 4. Removal of fuel subsidy. The complete removal of fuel subsidy would have COMPLETELY eradicated the fraud in that area. Unfortunately, the protest stalled the whole thing. 5. FREE AND FAIR ELECTIONS. This for me is the greatest tool for fighting corruption. Leaders who are truely elected by the people tend to be more ACCOUNTABLE to the people. This is what this govt has done through free and fair elections. 6. Passage of Freedom of Information bill. This law further enhances transparency in govt. Past govt refused to pass this law. And so on and so forth. These are in addition to whatever the EFCC and ICPC are doing. Now, Nigerians should choose between PLAYING TO THE GALLERY in disguise of fighting corruption and fighting corruption using SYSTEMS AND TECHNOLOGY. 3 Likes |

talk2s: Abeg who dey deh. Wish obasanjo be dis? OBJ had his issues while in office and is partly responsible for putting GEJ in office (another big mistake on his part), I agree. But please let us address issues in Nigeria, and not personalities, otherwise, we will never move forward as a country. The key question you should have asked is, Has OBJ lied in this letter? The answer is clearly NO. Nigeria is seriously bleeding, and if you have not seen it, then please tell us what you are smoking. The corruption we are seeing today is at least 250% worse than whatever we have experienced under any other previous administration in Nigeria's history. The Yar'Adua administration has paid about N285Billion for oil subsidy in 2010, yet GEJ ballooned it to over N2Trillion within about one year - A growth in costs of more than 600% within 1 year! And not a single person is in jail. Yet you say there is no problem? Are you okay, bro? The oil and gas industry is almost comatose. His administration cannot fund a 2013 budget based on a crude oil price of $79/ barrel, yet crude oil prices have been at an average of over $102/barrel thus far in 2013. This is largely because oga GEJ's administration has been unable to stop bunkering by rogues on the one part, and collect the taxes and royalties due to the Federal Government from many of his friends that bought the assets sold by the International Oil Companies. Nigeria has fallen on almost every index of human development since GEJ came into office - life expectancy, unemployment, infant mortality, security, suicide rate and even polio! Ask the UNDP, ask Transparency International, ask The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Yet, rather than look at these FACTS dispassionately, many of us adopt knee-jerk atavistic sentiments that do us no good. It seems most of us have not linked the future of our children to the misadventures of the current set of jokers in power. So, if I do not blame GEJ when things go wrong in Nigeria, who should I blame? God? That is why the man is the C-In-C. The buck stops on his table. 2 Likes |

Without any doubt, the shoe-less president shouldn't have been the president. A 2 yr old could tell that this dude has nothing to offer. He reminds me of a claw-less cat sitting on a throne that belongs to a LION. But we also must not forget that Obasanjo created this failed state. He remains part pf the root of all these problems we are experiencing on a daily bases in Nigeria This Obasanjo's letter is nothing but a smart way to exclude himself from the mess Jonathan and other PDP thieves have found themselves. Everybody wants to be Nigerian Mandela, but this letter is a little bit too late, too customized and too insincere. Sorry, I am not impressed sir. 1 Like |

He reminds me of a claw-less cat sitting on a throne that belongs to a LION. Obasanjo is the greatest Nigerian of all time. You may not appreciate him now but later you will. Who among our past leaders had the nerves to travel to Borno and enter boko haram enclave? Obasanjo loves Nigeria with all his heart. He can do anything to save Nigeria from ethnic jingoists. He's a Nigerian before being a Yoruba-Egba man. His biggest mistake is not handing over power in a free and fair election. 2ndly he should have nortured 2 resilient men like Lamido and Amaechi instead of two dull men like Yar'Adua and Jonathan. Even the choice of Sambo as Jonathan's deputy was another disaster as Sambo falls into the dull class as well. |

Nigeria should avoid been deceived by our so -called politicians especially those that have tasted politics offices(OBJ,El-Rufai etc).OBJ is talking about corruption and transparency>it baffles me to hear from people like him.Where was transparency during his own tenure?(2) OBJ was going for a third tenure before he was stopped and now he is complaining of someone that wants go for a second tenure.They are regarded as the fathers of corruption in 9ja because he fought people with EFCC etc while El Rufai uses media to criticize GEJ.The president has made alot of mistakes because of distraction by so-called critics whose records are still hunting 9JA until today. |

We should be smart not to be too quick to choose sides when it comes to politicians in Nigeria. They should all be categorized as one, batch of cancer that has been killing our country for too long. Obasanjo, Jonathan or Atiku should be labelled as group of thieves that gradually disintegrated our beloved country. |

Sincere 9gerian: What an irony! The same OBJ that wanted an UNCONSTITUTIONAL third term is now trying to prevent an incumbent president from seeking his CONSTITUTIONALLY GUARANTEED second term? Why should an OBJ do his second term and even tried to seek a third term BUT a Jonathan cannot seek second term? So what is the difference between an OBJ and a Jonathan? Is it in the colour of their skin or tribe? And OBJ is being cheered on by Tinubu slaves? What an irony! Smh for my country. Let's forget about who said this. The fact is weda OBJ is guilty or not is irrelevant. What is relevant is "is it true?" my answer will be YES. I am from the south south BUT wat is wrong is wrong. GEJ has failed himself and his country. He claims to fight corruption BUT his govt hasn't convicted a single person despite damning evidence. He promised improved electricity supply. Today 9ja is still producing less than 5,000mega watts. He promised better education but today ASUU ongoing strike is a testimony he has failed here as well. All these failures is after 6yrs of presidency. And he wants a third term. I am Ijaw BUT I will not vote in a liar and a man that can't keep ANY of his words. 75% of 9ja population is made up of people in d age bracket of less than 45 and we don't care who rules what we want are d basics of live. Good water, jobs, shelter, light cikena. ANYBODY (weda Muslims or Christian, Hausa or Ibo), dat can give me dis is d person I will vote for. As for GEJ he is a TOTAL DISAPPOINTMENT 1 Like |
