Please keep your fake verdict to yourself.
Obasanjo administration of eight years was MORE corrupt than Jonathan administration of five years according to Transparency International of which Obasanjo and his baby-girl Oby Madam Due Process were both Board members.
So tell us something else please.
Thanks.



...F A C T.. C H E C K ...

'Obasanjo and Atiku in 8 years built one UNIVERSITY each for themselves....Bells and ABTI.
They built NONE for Nigerians.

Jonathan and Sambo in 4 years built 14 (FOURTEEN) new universities for all Nigerians.
NONE for themselves.

NOTE: OBJ and ATIKU are now consultants/sponsors/piloters/members of APC....

Well Mr Obasanjo, when I read the quote above, I must wonder, how does your 50 Million bribe to each of the National Assembly members for your third term plot fit with the pious quotes?
Obasanjo is the MOST hypocritical and two faced person in the Nigerian public space today. He writes his letters to various govts, pretending to be all moral and upstanding, meanwhile his actual practices never match up with his words. I pray one day this two faced hypocrite will be exposed for the immoral creature he really is.

[i]January 13, 2016
Distinguished Senator Bukola Saraki,
President of the Senate,
FedAbuja.
Honourable Yakubu Dogara,
Speaker, House of Representatives,
National Assembly Complex,
Abuja.
It is appropriate to begin this letter, which I am sending to all members of the Senate and the House of Representatives through both of you at this auspicious and critical time, with wishes of Happy New Year to you all.
On a few occasions in the past, both in and out of office as the President of Nigeria, I have agonised on certain issues within the arms of government at the national level and among the tiers of government as well. Not least, I have reflected and expressed, outspokenly at times, my views on the practice in the National Assembly which detracts from distinguishness and honourability because it is shrouded in opaqueness and absolute lack of transparency and could not be regarded as normal, good and decent practice in a democracy that is supposed to be exemplary. I am, of course, referring to the issue of budgets and finances of the National Assembly.
The present economic situation that the country has found itself in is the climax of the steady erosion of good financial and economic management which grew from bad to worse in the last six years or so. The executive and the legislative arms of government must accept and share responsibility in this regard. And if there will be a redress of the situation as early as possible, the two arms must also bear the responsibility proportionally. The two arms ran the affairs of the country unmindful of the rainy day. The rainy day is now here. It would not work that the two arms should stand side by side with one arm pulling and without the support of the other one for good and efficient management of the economy.
The purpose of election into the Legislative Assembly particularly at the national level is to give service to the nation and not for the personal
service and interest of members at the expense of the nation which seemed to have been the mentality, psychology, mindset and practice within
the National Assembly since the beginning of this present democratic dispensation. Where is patriotism? Where is commitment? Where is service?
The beginning of good governance which is the responsibility of all arms and all the tiers of government is openness and transparency. It does
not matter what else we try to do, as long as one arm of government shrouds its financial administration and management in opaqueness and
practices rife with corruption, only very little, if anything at all, can be achieved in putting Nigeria on the path of sustainable and enduring
democratic system, development and progress. Governance without transparency will be a mockery of democracy.
Let us be more direct and specific so that action can be taken where it is urgently necessary. A situation where our national budget was predicated on $38 per barrel of oil with estimated 2 million barrels per day and before the budget was presented, the price of oil had gone down to $34 per barrel and now hovering around $30 and we have no assurance of producing 2 million barrels and if we can, we have no assurance of finding market for it, definitely calls for caution. If production and price projected in the budget stand, we would have to borrow almost one third
of the 6 trillion naira budget. Now beginning with the reality of the budget, there is need for sober reflection and sacrifice with innovation at the level of executive and legislative arms of government.
The soberness, the sacrifice and seriousness must be patient and apparent. It must not be seen and said that those who, as leaders, call for sacrifice from the citizenry are living in obscene opulence. It will not only be insensitive but callously so. It would seem that it is becoming a culture that election into the legislative arm of government at the national level in particular is a licence for financial misconduct and that should not be. The National Assembly now has a unique opportunity of presenting a new image of itself. It will help to strengthen, deepen, widen and sustain our democracy.
By our Constitution, the Revenue Mobilisation, Allocation and Fiscal Commission is charged with the responsibility of fixing emoluments of the
three arms of government: executive, legislature and judiciary. The Commission did its job but by different disingenuous ways and devices, the
legislature had overturned the recommendation of the Commission and hiked up for themselves that which they are unwilling to spell out in detail,
though they would want to defend it by force of arm if necessary. What is that?
Mr. President of the

Try this guys. It works 100%












1) close your eyes.







Now you will see that you cant see anything.






See, i told you. You did it. Congrats

I think OBJ has no moral justification to accuse others of being corrupt because he is an epitome of corruption. if truly he is concerned abt the present economic quagmire he should refund part of his loot to enable the incumbent to perform if not he should stop making noise.
Mr saint or should I call you holier than thou Since you have moral justification, why have you not air your own opinion or should everyone just keep quiet and watch some people milk the treasury dry while the ordinary people are not having the necessary amenities to make living condusive and their own children stays somewhere in the develope countries enjoying the loot?

Even though Nigerian senators and representives are among the world's most corrupt and inept, Obasanjo has no moral intergrity to criticize them!

Obasanjo is the MOST corrupt, vindictive and murderous politician in West Africa if not Africa as a whole. This criminal supposed to be legally executed or jailed for life for all the atrocities he committed!

Kindly point us to the audited budgets of the National Assembly for 1999-2007.
You can also point us to the audited budgets and accounts of NNPC during those eight years when the hopeless man was minister for petroleum, right

And-so-what? How does that affect the severity of the points he raised?

I totally understand the exasperation of the guy to whom you were replying. It's like even the most basic cognitive processes of the Nigerian mind are modulated by myopic personal, and sectarian considerations. You're obviously smart enough to know what "ad hominem" means, and yet here you are. How can we explain that?

The guy to whom you were responding wanted to know whether the majority of Nigerians think OBJ's accusations hold water or not. Are you saying they do not? If they do - and showing as they do that the NASS is basically helping themselves to a big chunk of our pie - are you Nigerians just going to bend over and take it? That, my brother, is the question.

Democracy works when the people are vigilant to defend their rights. I think Nigerians are just more interested in scoring points.

Whether OBJ is corrupt or not, whether he embezzled $16 billion or not, that's is a discussion for another day. And getting a little evidence on your side won't hurt, you know. BTW, I don't believe you can prosecute a man with a report from AITI, so, nope, that doesn't count.

For now, this is the only writing president, others don't, he is the only one with documented records of his stewardship(rightly or wrongly), while others can't show us any.
I hope GEJ will also write one someday.

What you should wish for is for past presidents to shut the phuck up. No single president in Nigeria did anything for the country. Obasanjo is the worst president we ever had. I find it ironic that a man who was canvassing for a third term as president would have the nerve to call the present so called leaders corrupt. Na wah for Nigeria.

Okay. Sorry then, but I do not agree with you. I take it that you equated the two cases just to make a point.
Surely, you cannot believe a case where sufficient evidence has been unearthed to initiate multiple court cases is similar to one still in the realm of hearsay?

Please get me very clear: if someone got sufficient evidence against OBJ to send him to jail, I would be quite happy. Till then however, I will take all allegations against him as just that:allegations. And even then, I will never allow my impressions of the man (positive or negative) determine my ability to discern right from wrong.
