Bada Yusuf a columnist asked the question of what the Ex President would be remembered for in his open letter to the former military head of state and the first democratic president?
I remember when Olusegun Obasanjo came to Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Osun-State earlier this year. I saw ''BABA IYABO'' as he was fondly call a very strong willed man who wouldn't lower his guards because you felt he was wrong. In his word he said we Nigerians would never appreciate any former head of State for the roles they played positively. He consistently blamed the past administration for the present state of the Nigeria economy. He likened former President Jonathan to the Prodigal son who never thought it well to go beg his father for forgiveness.
President Obasanjo never agreed for once that he was to be blamed for the present day Nigeria. He stated categorically that he tried his best for his country.
In my own humble Opinion, we saw the advent of true democracy in the time of OBJ. Despite him being the one who gave the National Assembly this monopoly of power, I still strongly believed baba was actually one of the heros of our present day democracy.
I never knew the late SAGE Obafemi Jeremiah Awololwo, but the Obasanjo I knew did a lot for this country and I certainly believed he neglected the Yorubas and concentrated more on the northerners, maybe because he believed they are the least developed geopolitical zone in Nigeria.

Attached is the piece from Bada Yusuf in his letter to the former head of state. http://akpraise.com/open-letter-what-will-yorubas-remember-obasanjo-for/

Again I ask, what would former President Olusegun Aremu Okikiola Obasanjo be remembered for by the Yorubas when he eventually go to the great beyond?

Lol, what of GEJ administration?

You see that phone you used to ask that question,that is what you will be remembered for

This important thread, I'm afraid may not have lots of comments..

Op, if you change the topic to 'IGBO' or 'Biafra' then all the Yoruba Monikers on NL would gather like vultures on corpse to share their views on what's not..

Instead of you guys to cease the opportunity to educate Nigerians in what you think Yorubas would remember OBJ for, you are viewing and running away as if OBJ don't deserve to be remembered by Yorubas. .

Pls quote me.. !

Thank you.

OBJ will forever be cursed in Yoruba land cuz he brings nothing I mean nothing tangible to the Yoruba land

Thanks... Personally, I know he did a lot. But we live in a society where if you don't benefit directly from good, then it amounts to nothing.
