This same obj who was imposing criminals and fraudsters as governors ,ministers and senators, who looted the nations treasury when he was the president, is now the same person asking nigerians to vote and chose people of intergrity into political offices. Nigerians will never learn the antics of nigerian politicians .

I still insist on "Top-Bottom Approach" to cure this mess tagged corruption in Nigeria.Though Obj was not a perfect leader but he saved for rainy days, reduced drastically the country debt and economy was better then.I will support change.

OBJ is just seeking for attention. There is no war that is cheap, go and ask US about the two wars they fought in the middle esst and its effects on their economy till date.The enemies of freedom of worship, saudi arabia, sudan and their APC Jihadists, who are providing covert support to BH should be held responsible for the depletion of the excess crude account. Atleast, GEJ despite all the sabotage against the war against BH, both from within and outside the country, has prevented Nigeria from becoming the new Iraq and Afganistan where the ISIS and Taliban are virtually threatening to take over the seat of the central government in Bagdad and Kabul. The Jihadists and the naive suporters like OBJ and APC leaders should realise that they are playing a very dangerous game with the unity of Nigeria.If they ghink that they will relocate to saudi arabia, like Idi Amin, when the crisis they are trying to incite breaks out, we can assure them that there will be no hiding place for them anywhere on the face of the earth.The Jihadists who have followed up with their threat of making the nation ungovernable should understand that the niger delta has more than the means to ensure that, should the Jihadists succeed in their plan to take over the country, they will not have any country to govern.This is why all genuine patriots should call the likes of OBJ to order, in his recent hobby of faning the embers of discord.

Please, stop being naive and delusional on this issue of corruption.The hausa/fulani foisted on the whole country a corrupt constitution which ensures that the big thieves will ultimately get away. They also ensured that is is virtually impossible to amend that dubious document inorder to protect their stranglehold on nigeria.They are not interested in fiscal federalism and the efficient running of NNPC, PHCN, with the later on previously being privatised by GEJ purely due to his doggedness to see the process through. Experts on the 1999 constitution know that nigeria is presently being controlled from Kano state, that is why the PIB bill which is meant to amongst other things, clean up NNPC, has not been passed. The hausa/fulani are not interested in passing the asset forfeiture bill, which will definetly deal with corruption. So, stop all these APC jingle oh GMB coming to fight corruption because his hausa/fulani kinsmen are the biggest beneficiaries of the corrupt 1999 constitution. You can start by trying to find out the owners of majority of tbe oil blocs in the country, and why there are 44 local governments in kano state alone. Also find out the percentage of hausa/fulani in NNPC and other juicy government parastatals, and the fact that fir tbe firdt time in decades, GEJ led FG is trying to balance things to reflect federal character everywhere including the military. After analysing these points, you will now understand that the primary reason GMB is trying to come to power is to halt the restructuring being carried out by GEJ, and return nigeria to status quo, which is the hausa/fulani domination of the entire country which ghey intend to do for the next 300 years.

Baba and mischief are just inseparable.

The legality of ECA was always being challenged by the states . There was simply no constitutional backing for it. When Yar adua came in with the view to respecting the rule of law, money had to be gradually shared between the different tiers of government. The "progressive" governors were the most vocal on the need to give them (their states) their share.

OBJ is one man that refused to release Lagos state funds even after the supreme court had stated that it was illegal to hold on to the allocation. If someone like this calls another man weak, then you know what he means.

The then CJ of the federation said in one of his later interviews that he wished there was a clause in the constitution to empower him to send OBJ to prison for disobeying decisions of even the highest court in the land.

A lot of questions need to be asked about how a country can save $67Billion dollars and pay up its debts when Oil price was hovering around $30 to $75, but the country's reserve suddenly got depleted to about $40Billion when the price of oil was selling far above $100 per barrel yet we have borrowed more without any corresponding major infrastructure to show for it.

Obasanjor built our foreign reserve to $48 Billion when he was leaving government. " our debt was cancelled" Yaradua didn't touch a penny. As we speak, what is left in our reserve is just above $2Billion.
That is what baba is saying.

Some people just hate the truth. Always look at the message if it true or not before crucifying the messager.

Am no Obj fan for your information. He stole too I guessed but at least he left some good money for the future of this great country. God bless Nigeria.

ZACHIE:
FFK of old. 2013, precisely


``The charge that our foreign reserves were heavily depleted between 2007 and 2013 cannot be convincingly or logically denied. In 2007, President Olusegun Obasanjo left $45 billion in our foreign reserves and $22 billion in our Excess Crude Account. If the two figures are added up the amount that you will come up with is $67 billion of savings for our country. This is the figure that Obiageli Ezekwesili cited. It represents what was in both our foreign reserves and our Excess Crude Account put together.

`Worse still this was after it had plummeted to a shameful $30 billion under late President Umaru Yar’Adua. Had it not been for the fact that whatever was coming in after we left in 2007 and over the last 4 years was being recklessly shared and spent by the Yar’Adua and later Jonathan administrations our foreign reserves ought to have doubled and reached at least $100 billion dollars by now. That is just the foreign reserves alone and I am not even adding the Excess Crude Account figures yet. If I were to do that I would be talking about an expected increase of up to $150 billion by today. That is what we ought to have in the savings kitty today if the two governments that succeeded Obasanjo knew anything about prudence, good management and fiscal discipline.

```The difference is that under Obasanjo it was ”save, save, save” whilst under Yar’Adua and later Jonathan it has been ”spend, spend, spend’. Yet if they insist on spending the question is what do they have to show for such high expenditure and what has this cost the Nigerian people in real terms. I believe that these are legitimate questions.

In 1999 a wrong man was brought in as president.

A man that did not know that he supposed to build the infrastructure.

Despite he was former head of state but still clueless president.

And what infrastructure did GEJ fix after taking our savings.
Oh he will have to borrow more.
