It's my birthday today and i'm most grateful for the gift of life

Baba is Yarning.... ;DBaba is Yarning....

In other words, Obasanjo has now endorsed taking up arms against government to air grievances.

If Bokoharam has legitimate grievances, didn't the people of Odi Obasanjo destroyed have legitimate grievances?

Is it hypocrisy or what?

Am very disappointed that OBJ said this.

dre11:



Baba talking about dialogue.........

You dey answer the mumu old man? Which carrot him give to UDI and Zaki Biam.

Open University no mean say e go. dey open mouth anyhow.

He should keep quiet until after elections as he promised

Baba keep confessing u hear! Its a lane every wicked witch must toe before death.

anibestlala:
I suppose all terrorist groups have genuine grievances.we could all direct them to ota farm to meet express their grievances.I hope Al qaeda,isil, isis and bh are hearing. smh

and why the fvck did you have to quote me to pass out your message
_common sense_

This is nonesense!

Obj was in prison when PDP was formed, he gained from Abiola's death. Jonathan has rubbished his egoism in Nigeria politics by not allowing him to dictate his policies for him. Obj is not that important to pdp as of today.

experimentist:
PDP is Boko Haram, OBJ is the father of PDP..

OBJ.. have you been sleeping with your son's wife again

At a glance I thought OBJ was wrong but as I read the entire article I realized what he was saying. What he's simply saying here is that people like Buhari have kept the people of northern Nigeria uneducated and poor, and that Boko haram is a product of those.
The military need to pound them more, I agree to that.

Pls ask this old fool how many schools he built in the north. Is this not the same man (Terrorist) that level Odi and killed everybody in Tiv. He is talking of Education for BH that is what they said they don't need, didn't he follow the happenings.

Happy birthday and wishing you all your life desire.

An insane wicked old man.

Let this man vomit everything in his belly please..... There is sense in nonsense

Cut the man some slack joor, bokoharam didn't really start during his tenure, the whole scenario started during yaradua but not that worse, jonathan administration is just too weak to handle bokoharam.

op when did sharia law started?a law above a country law.

There is NO IDEOLOGICAL STRUGGLE EVER IN THIS WORLD'S HISTORY, THAT HAS BEEN SOLVED BY VIOLENCE ONLY.

Obj is absolutely right, BH do have legit grievances and were it not for the fact that they went exceedingly overboard with their actions some Nigerians would still be defending them. Now to be honest the only way to go now is to force BH's hand till they can be either tried in court or reabsorbed into society. Many members today are kids who were kidnapped as babies and not given any other option other than fight or die.

Like it or not, we cannot kill off BH.

asadike:
With due respect sir,I have some questions for u. I heard the insurgency actually started during your tenure sir or even as an elderly state man, kindly tell us how u nipped it in d bud that got it escalated to this level? Secondly,how did you know that boko haram have legitimate grievances,are u one of the sponsors sir? Finally, if boko haram have legitimate grievances, what do we call that of their victims and every nigerian whose life have been adversely affected by d menace caused by the ins urgency?

And I have some questions for u: I thought TANOIDS say Boko haram was created because of Jonathan, so how did it start during OBJ's time?

Baba is as uneducated as GMB
The difference btw them is success and failure

beco u have grievance then u go about killing people?

blackbee:
What's wrong with obj? Age

He is suffering from brain tumour.He needs serious deliverance.

Ode....thr sponsors are coming out one by one.

gej has adopted the stick approach. baba. can invite them to ota for the carrot approach. ... obj was asked to negotiate and he went to the northeast what happened after he left . how many times did gej invite them to negotiate?


I am deeply disappointed in you sir.

How I wish some people commenting here could just take time to read what OBJ said,evaluate it without sentiments, I believe in so doing,wisdom will be granted to see the sense in what the man has said. Fews words packed with a lot of truth in so many aspect.
May the good Lord continue to grant us wisdom to understand what our elders say

God will deliver obj,boko hara started during his time,remmmember that nigerian boy call abdulmutallab who try to bomb an aircraft that was later arrested can you people remmembeer now?

he did his best, he even went to bauchi to meet them, bh became worse after killing of their original leader under yar adua and much worse when gej saw them as northern cum islamic agenda then handled them as such

Many Nigerians has grievances. Not only Boko.

So many graduate that spent much money to get education. After that, no job. And there was no Avenue to create one except maybe being a tug for politicians.

How many of those graduate has taken law into their hands by killing fellow innocent citizens.

There is no justification what so ever in taking another person's life. No matter the grievances

danielmichael:
All of yu here re claptrapping balderdash and vomiting bunches of rigmaroles at will and profusely dafting on proclivities,ad-infinitum.

Non of yu cud decipher what de grand theft(obj) said.

Government asinine and puirile ratiocinnations..

Nonsense

..........and your point?...

Obasanjo is right! The battle is won in the field but the war is won on the negotiation table. He just echoed my thoughts.

U are very wrong sis. I think u have to explain to me more what u and obasanjo mean by marginalisation. Since independence, we have more northerners ruling Nigeria. Boko Haram didn't form. Boko Haram formed in 2002 after power shifted from the North. (under obasanjo's regime). With the intention of islamizing Nigeria.
Talking of marginalisation, Which tribe in Nigeria has been marginalized more than the Igbos?
Maybe because they are not carrying guns that's why all of u are blind to it.

Happy Birthday anyway.

You like supporting bad things

Baba, ever d no-nonsense military man! I agree...BH should have been caned into submission from d get-go.....more stick than carrot! But this requires a tough focused strong leader, not d lilly-livered clueless drunken coward we have as our c-in-c!
My humble submission
