steve_cantrell: A lot of people are calling this fake letter a low point for GEJ and his propaganda boys but I believe its a huge SUCCESS.

Just one useless letter has changed the entire discourse of the days preceding it. No one is talking about missing $50 billion or assasins-in-training anymore.

The diversionary tactic has worked !

Sanusi admitted in the National Assembly that his letter has no bearing to how much nnpc owes... He agreed that what is owed is about $10billion usd. Only yesterday! This opposition people eh!

cramjones: I know the Obasanjo family very well..and a personal friend to Iyabo...I a number of personal things she allegedly said are true (not all). However, I don't think she wrote them, someone that knows some of these details may have fabricated it. Iyabo is a well trained Yoruba woman and the last thing she will do is to ridicule her father in public.

Shut up. Did you not read this follow up publication and her assertion that this letter is from her... Ta!

ceo4eva: Chief Obasanjo: You are a bloody
idiots, you have published the paper
and you are now looking for me, you
are an idiots,

Damn cant believe this is coming from an ex president of Nigeria. I had thought he wud react postively when vanguard approched him only to see the animal xter in him through his responses.. Well, like iyabo said, he's a wife basher and child molester... grumpy old man

...is this journalism... title of the thread is so misleading....

well..this does not change the fact that Jonathan is finished...

keep shooting urselfs in the foot...

ceo4eva: To be Honest, I doubt Vanguard can publish such a letter against OBJ if it's not true. Considering the background of Vanguard (South West) Newspaper and the courageous way they have continued to defend this story, It's likely to be TRUE. We all know OBJ is NOT a Saint, even though APC remains supportive of him. There are some contents in the letter that need to be addressed especially Corruption, but don't forget GEJ is/was a product of OBJ. I guess he's annoyed because he no longer controls and dictate to GEJ. GEJ on his own part has refused to respond, thereby further annoying OBJ. Why is OBJ ranting over his daughter's 12-page letter when he wrote an 18-page letter to GEJ?

Kudos 2 u. This is one of the best unbiased posts I've seen on Nairaland in recent times. I like the way u analysed without sentiments.

I thought some he-goats said this old man (Obj) is untouchable now see how God is working for Jonathan without replying the Ebora of Owu just like that! I love this December movie titled 'A Letter To My Father' Iyabo keep more coming! Truly, Goodluck Ebele Jonathan is the real UNTOUCHABLE

gratiaeo:
The rainbow FM saga was fabricated by ffk. Yoruba tribe are very good in fabricating news remind me of 183 Osun touts held in Imo state

if rainbow fm fabricated a story concerning this saga which you have no proof but only read in paper or on an online forum which one is the Yoruba tribe are good fabricating stories will it be right to say All ibo are kidnappers stop generalizing what you have no proof of

Well who cares? The story is already getting boring. Its their personal affair and their problem. I have my own problems with my daughter to deal with. Let sleeping dogs lie.

Still don't get whats the big deal in this letter.

You better believe, he is known to be raised from a culturally uncouth background.
He has said worse things as president.
He threatened to slap a journalist on live TV,
Hushed an innocent child to tears for not addressing him as Mr president, etc.
This is not a surprise at all.

Lol! You remember him on national television during a presidential chat saying that, "eedris abdkareem, that boy that sang nigeria jaga jaga, na him papa and mama jaga jaga".

Thats obj for you.

Getting more and more interesting but i dont know why i still doubt her writing that letter sha

Still doubting after 48 hours? Your name go change to Thomas oh. Lol.

So many hypocrites on this thread. Accusing Obasanjo of being uncouth but you're worse than him. He's human just like everyone and has his own flaws.

He is a major contributor to the spoiling of Nigeria. He should never speak in public. He is disgusting

abeg no blame me, the social standing and calibre of the personalities involved esp Iyabo makes this so shocking to me. Vanguard has even promised more revelations

***Following***

The man has been hit

The friend also disclosed that Ms. Obasanjo had virtually stopped taking calls on her cell phone, except from members of a small inner circle. Part of her plan was to thwart relatives and friends of her father who had been sent on a mission to convince her to dissociate herself from the content of the explosive letter in order to save her father’s image.

Our source revealed that the former senator’s cell phone rang incessantly all day yesterday, but was hardly answered. Our correspondent ascertained that Ms. Obasanjo’s voice message box was full, making it impossible for callers to leave her any messages.

Since the letter was published yesterday, several blogs have claimed that Ms. Obasanjo had denied writing it, an assertion that SaharaReporters determined to be completely false.

When all the criminal forces that destroyed Nigeria come together to take power back, then you know God is orchestrating something big for Nigeria. God will ambush them for us and finally nail them. The APC is becoming the old pdp. All the evil characters in the PDP have gradually moved to the apc. GEJ is leading the rebirth of PDP.

CONFIRMED
More Details...

Following the hoopla over her letter,Iyabo spoke severally to
Vanguard, yesterday. Asked to
respond to claims that she had
denied the authorship of the letter
written to her father, Iyabo, who holds a doctorate in epidemology and now resident in the United States, said:
“No, no, no, that is not true. How can you live by social media? That is part of the problem with Nigeria, people want to be flying rumours. I have not told anybody o! It is early morning here and I just woke up and if I were you I would just ignore them,”
Senator Obasanjo said.
“People are calling me and telling me that they called Baba but if I say I am not talking to someone (her father), how can you say you called the person and the person will tell you what is on my mind?” she asked

Well i think this drama is not goin to end soon. OBJ is the greatest of all Nigeria‘s problem. GEJ stoped dancing OBJ‘s music thats why he ranted against him. He now call Vanguard agents ‘idiots‘ funny man.

Afenifere Bigwig? I thought Bigwig is just a moniker on Nairaland
