C2H5OH:

obasanjo fa%&$d up the country? what about the crooks before him? he was happy to continue the legacy of his predecessors.

oshkosh:

Abeg, OBJ tried jare. He was courageous and did much more than all past leaders put together.

@Sagamite,

Don't mind these IBB surrogates.

C2H5OH:

you are trying to choose who's better among a herd of no good leaders?

he may have done some things better than others, i can agree with you on that much.

~Sauron~:

I disagree.

IBB was a military dictator. . . .his hands were tied.
Foreign investors were reluctant to do any business in Nigeria because of the political instability.
IBB and Buhari and Abacha can be excused.
He is an ANIMAL.

Fhemmmy:

I dont agree.
Murtala was a military ruler but things weren't as bad as the other fools

Crude Oil:

Sauron,
although OBJ impressed Nigerians with some of his achievments like debt relief, GSM, etc his regime was a total disaster.

He ruined the Naira, increased fuel prices etc. Dont also forget the amount revenue Nigeria gained during his tenure, which he squandered on power projects.

~Sauron~:

Murtala ruled for ONLY 7 months before he was shot in Feb. 1976.
Had IBB and Abacha ruled for the same period, we wouldn't have known a lot about their characters.
What is to say Murtala wouldn't have turned to a monster if he had ruled for 8 years?

Crude Oil:

Obasanjo tried his best, but the people surrounding him were the cause of his woes.

Fhemmmy:

remember OBJ appointed yar'fool like u call it, so that means a fool only can appoint a fool.
does that means OBJ never did his home work well be4 imposing him on us/
or is there a motive behind it all?

presido1:

OBJ met GSM in progress when he took over in 1999. He only finished what others started.

presido1:

Pls remind us one person that is in jail or Ribadu EFCC prosecuted and i will remind you millions in the govt of today.

presido1:

5) Are you serious? Is it his work to choose how will replace him or the citizens.

presido1:

hahahahahahaha call home and ask them when ASUU went on strike and why?

MrCrackles:

SAGAMITE
You just made a fool of your self linking OBJ with tangible achievements
Now i hope you understand better

Fhemmmy:

How much did he steal and how come Nigeria was owing all that much money, would it be cos he borrowed so much to give us power and never see the power generating nothing? could it be that he borrowed so much for agriculture, only for him to spend all on himself while trying to become the biggest farm in Africa? so would it be fair to say, he is begged to have the money he stoled to be forgiven, cos only him, IBB and Abacha borrowed more money than the world sef.

Fhemmmy:

tell me who they have been able to execute with the set up.
Would be a better thing to say, he set up something for the western world to think we were serious?
would even be better to say, he used it to fight those that opposes him?

Fhemmmy:

That is a lie, cos while he was in power, there are so many fake drugs that came into the nation and even the hausas knows that and they refused to be injected with water all in the name of treatment { not that i side with fulanis oh}

Fhemmmy:

What an honorable man.
A man that some of the school in his states are still under the tree.
A man with no vission, nothing to offer Nigeria
Would it be better to say, he put a muppet there cos he wanna look good compared to Yar'fukc?

Fhemmmy:

restructure indeed and still people like Dopkesi is still able to take money anyhow and messed up a nation, and sell shares and still run the nation like a one man's biz.
Restructure that still has people like Dangote in the helm of financial leadership of NSE while he has so many coys listen on the exchange?
Small biz cant get loan.
Interest rate on loans still over 40%?

Fhemmmy:


By ASUU going on strike all the time and a 5 years program lasting for 10 years, how come their own kids are not in Nigerian university/
Lemme guess, he did a good job by selling the nation into private schooling cos it is out of the reach of the masses that really needed education?
what he has done is increase the line btw the rich and the poor and no one can now cross, cos it is wider than ever.

Sagamite:


If you don't know that Nigerian financial industry has a lot of muscle now then you are not at a level to be debating with me.

Did one person (Madoff) not mess up $50bn dollars in USA? Does that mean the system is not strong?

hollandis:

LMFAO,I laugh in continuous tense.You feel Nigerian Banks are healthy?you really feel they are "muscular"?Young man wake up.I won't delve into the imbroglio called ''Nigeria Banks'' yet.It is a topic for another day.

Sagamite:

Bleep me, how the hell did you link fake drugs to some illiterate morons refusing polio drugs based on some anti-islam rumours.

hollandis:

Fhemmy was refering to the ''Pfizer Brouhaha'' and the hornet nest it stirred up north.What anti islam rumors did it cause? Some fucking drug company killed Nigeria babies in the north and you expect the largely conservative and uneducated northerners to trust your ''medical help'?

Sagamite:

I am talking about fake counterfeit drugs being sold to people as original, he is linking, i believe, this to northerners refusing polio drug because they think it is a West attempt to make them infertile.

Obasanjo bleeped up this country

Absolutely rubbish.
Without Obj this country would have collapsed politcallyl
Obj is a nationalist who was able to work with all the reigons in Nigeria
Most of his agendas was focus on Nigeria as a whole
Despite the fact that Awo did alot during this tenure as premier of the west
Awo was very tribalist and that was key to his failure of not winning the presidential election
Zik was a sellout to the North - He made alliance with them and regreted it to his grave
Buhari tried to run the country like a millitary zone. who is to blame him the man was in uniform during his tenure
IBB should have done better. He introduced radical economical reforms but encouraged and facilitated the culture of corruption(CHOP AND CLEAN MOUTH)
Abacha was the worst of the bunch. Shagari,shonekan and Abdul were just appointees filling the gap.
OBJ was not a saint and probably should have done better but was still the best of them all.
Yaradua - No COMMENT

@Sagamite has asked the right question - Show us which president did better than BABA OBJ

Maybe we should call fhemmy to enlighten us more .However the issue of drugs is multi-faceted .
1. Akinyuli's eradication of fake drugs shouldn't be seen as a National success or an achievement of the Obasanjo's administration.
2. The suspicions,superstitions and fear raised by some northern quaters and their sbsequent rejection of polio drugs is not entirely their fault.
3. The court charade during the pfizer trial should be properly investigated

Regardless of what people think. I believe Obasanjo generally had the interest of Nigeria at heart. While i believe he tried his best and did everything he could do, there are big opportinites he missed also. But a leader is never meant to be perfect. I still believe he is the best President Nigeria ever had and i hope he is not the last

Silly conjectures and insinuations, lack of substance.

If you do not know the origins of our $35bn debt, please I don't debate at that level.
