deletrue: Some of you think we are as yeye and directionless as you are. Look, if not for my age, I would have sworn that God should punish you completely today. Are you happy the way Nigeria is? Can you point any individual who Obasanjo is friendly with among his followers after he left power? You dembest. Have you not been told about that money? All the explainations offered by analysts and NNPC management that it is likely that there is misunderstanding and miscalculation as to how NNPC money is channelled or appropriated, and that the money may not be stolen.
Are you happy with the role Obasanjo is playing when this old man is ever ready to turn this country to himself alone no matter the negative effects that will befall other Nigerians? Be very careful.

Seun: When Nigerian journalists want to make you look bad, they may add grammatical errors to your quotes. They've done it to me before.

“In bourgeois politics, the ongoing development is called ‘realignment forces.’ In the process, those who have been excluded from the ‘come and chop’ policy of the PDP are now being asked to choose their place at the table in case the APC takes over power in 2015,” Mr. Falana said.
Lamenting that the APC leaders did not have any plan to woo the youth who constitute more than 60 per cent of the country’s voting population, Mr. Falana said the mobilisation of the past leaders and other PDP chieftains had basically shown that the opposition leaders were only interested in power.

He said, “The APC has no plan to woo the youth who constitute more than 60% of the voting population. It is the belief of the leaders of both APC and PDP that the 2015 general election is going to be fixed by the traditional manipulators of elections. This is the basis of the ongoing mobilisation of the PDP chieftains including those who cannot win elections in their own wards.

“By wooing discredited military and civilian despots who have destroyed the country since 1966, the APC has shown that it is only interested in power for the sake of power.-Falana

tiwasiaife: Gej has never lost a battle. He is like David. Surely they must gather in Apc but God will surely fight 4 gej. This man has never shed a blood upon all the power he has a president. Why iyabo was able to muster courage to write this was cos she lives were integrity counts and has been thought that gud name is better than wealth. Happy are the peace makers 4 they shall knw peace.

folahann: I have read a lot of posts on this thread and I have seen a lot of people mention APC. Some called the thread an Anti-APC thread. Someone even mentioned APC as a loser because of this letter.

Can someone please analyse how a fall-out between PDP big guns take become APC issue and how it works against them.

molotov1:

you're definitely typing from a laptop.
We are talking NEWS not history. Money or no missing money , you got that ? OBJ is history !
who has been in power in the last 4 years missing money or no missing money ?
Was it OBJ ?
Who's is at the helm ? During the scandals and coverups of the previous months and years
Was it OBJ ?
Was Nigeria a paradise before OBJ's letter ?
Madam ( you reason like a woman) I don't care who gave you laptop, you need to think before you open that black hole again and transfer it to post.

callmenow: It is duplicitous to attack @deletrue for a well reasoned argument. Jonathan has been in power for over three years now. He did not set Nigeria back in the these preceding four years. What any reasonable person in Nigeria and or the western world, expected from Jonathan is to recruit able and capable managers, administrators and technocrats to manage Nigeria and improve Nigeria incrementally by say 3-10% each year, which the available statistics concurs with. The quality of his ministers so far has been second to none. Sanusi is not a Jonathan appointed administrator. He inherited him from the incompetent Yar Adua. He tried to sack him for running a parallel government, but the unnecessary outcry by Sanusi's people forced him to wait until his five year tenure expires next year. NNPC fraud was trumpeted by APC, Sanusi, Tambuwal, Jonathan haters and OBJ. These five leprous fingers of a hand of evil are now experiencing a confusion of their own making. None of them is talking of missing money any longer because Jonathan insisted that the reluctant Sanusi and his co-travellers should reconcile the figures with the agencies concerned. As I write, no money was missing. Yet Jonathan was labelled, 'clueless' 'bleep' by simpletons in this forum. Are you an APC sympathiser who is experiencing a 'tough' week?

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?...

valuka: How I wish that I can appear and disappear.
All these politicians will just die a mystrious death.
I will appear and squiz the life out of them during sleep and disappear.

Sorry if my comment is so rude.
That's just how I feel.

eye4eye: Lie from pit of hell. I forsee vanguard going out of business for their stupidity.

wirinet: I am having a hard time relating the headline to the story. Where is the story on why Iyabo gave up on her dad?

molotov1: Beautifully put, I like the way you make your point and state 'your' facts devoid of sentiment and emotion.

However, no matter how well you think a government has performed or 'not set the country back" as you put it, CORRUPTION or the lack thereof remains the benchmark for progress in the developing world.

Nigeria, as we speak is taking a massive hit from corruption at unprecedented scale. Nigeria is being eaten alive by it or wouldn't you agree ? Isn't there anything that can be done (by the presidency) to curb it ?

OBJ like it or not, like others of his ilk are dinosaurs, clinging to last the last strands of relevance they have left. Although he may have heated up the polity with his epistle, there is very little he can achieve with it on the long term.

Whether he's a hypocrite or not, OBJ will be judged by the contents and intention behind that letter, true or false.

A more honest person would have written, "Dear GEJ, I have ruled, I've made my mistakes. However, you are presently at the controls, please tell us what are your plans are and WHERE ARE YOU TAKING NIGERIA TO ?"

OBJ isn't the threat here, let's not try to use a sentimental approach (like others are trying to do) to obfuscate that fact.

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.

chi 3280: 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.

chi 3280: 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.
