You're still not seeing my point. Busy men don't watch the TV.

Influential busy men hardly turn on the TV

An old influential busy man like OBJ may never know how to turn on an HDTV he never cared! He mostly gets informed through the newspapers.

Anybody that believes obasanjo does not know how to operate a remote control is a fool.

Obasanjo was the greatest thief to enter Aso rock, a tyrant and a thief. The yorubas and their tribal bigotry will never say it out.

They accuse PDP of 16 years of waste but when asked to cite examples they stop at GEJ table/ tenure.

In all i heard of PDP steal the highest during GEJ was 2.1 billion dollars by dasuki, Obasanjo alone has stolen 16 billion dollars, Obasanjo was the man that introduced Ghana must go money into Nigerian politics, bribing Ararume and co for his third term bid. The man nearly turned our country to Zimbabwe, if not for chukwumerije, ayim pious and co that fought him to a stand still.

Yorubas will look the other way when it is their elders, Awolowo, Tinubu, Obasanjo, etc even though all these men were crooks, then they will expect you to bring your own sons make them kill. No way!!

I argued severally that having less than or exactly 20k in account does not make you poor

Obasanjo farms was established in 1979 and despite OBJ being imprisoned his funds kept rolling in

But idiots believed he merely started his farm in 1999

He is a thief like all the others. His corruption portfolio is the largest amongst all ex-heads of state. Don't start what you cannot finish abeg.

Just 2yrs into his incarceration at Gashua Prison, Otta farm had already gone bankrupt.

It will take Obasanjo becoming president to revive the farm plus a ban on imported poultry products to steer Otta farm back into the Blue.

Obasanjo also forcefully contracted UAC and other eatries and hotels around the Lagos area to buy poultry from his farm.

Obasanjo was dead broke at that time with no credit or cash at hand.

The likes of Andy Ubah and Emeka Offor where the ones that helped keep his farm running.

Iiiiiiiiiibbbbbbooooooo. I. b. o. Propaganda master.
Ordinarily, it pays to keep quiet to allow people of the same mind to get excited with falsehood, but for posterity one must correct few things.

If a retired general with outstanding benefits of many years running into several millions , unclaimed dividends from shares, unclaimed royalties from books & other interests said he had 20K , that is just the account balance before settling down properly from prison. Only a man with low mental capacity will take that as a reference point or starting point. As at this period, even a junior manager at his hotel in Allen Avenue or a manager at the farm cannot say 20k is all he has.

The farm being managed by a Ghanaian while in prison, despite the inactivity in major areas was still professionally managed & run as a small unit worth millions. Nobody has ever forced any eatery or organization to buy birds from any farm. In fact, at the beginning of Obj govt when economy suddenly picks in geometrical progression, birds produced locally cannot meet the local demand prompting the establishment of more farms by poultry farmers.

At what point did Andy Ubah & Emeka Offor come in to the farm to keep it running. Propaganda. Those who live at the farm will just be laughing.

Stop deodorizing corruption. Obasanjo was broke and his business ruined by Abacha. A man that bought Transcorp shares ,as a sitting president , in what was formed blind trust ...Spent PTDF funds without accounts


Obasanjo can't go any other way with Buhari lest the 'probe' be extended to his time in office, as Nigeria's president.

When people talk about royalty , it sounds like it is automatic payment and nothing else ....Since you know the royalty from his book, declare how much it was worth by sales in that tow years he was in prison ... His pension for those years


Go and read the interview where Obasanjo was forcing HNIs like Adenuga to do construction in his Bells university. ...An Oba actually granted that interview. .... Billion of dollars was stolen through power P,rojects that Elumelu committee stated was never executed or even started in some instances.

Don't mind that guy. I followed the power probe chaired by Elumelu. Immediately, OBJ's name was mentioned that was the end of the committee. In fact, Elumelu and members of the committee were under threat from powers that be. I know this because Elumelu represented my constituency. OBJ is the father of corruption. Fela of blessed memories narrated everything. If he was clean why didn't he sue Fela for defamation? Fela challenged him so many times. OBJ is curse to Nigeria.

It's evident that these people cannot use some of this electronics, am sure Buhari can't use iPhone since Obasanjo can't use remote control.

Why is Obasanjo afraid of Atiku shadow? With hatred obasanjo has for Atiku I believed he would have nailed him with Efcc during his tenure if Atiku was actually corrupted as being potrayed by obasanjo
How could he have mailed him since both served together on same ticket, with immunity?

So you really believe that it is his farm that made him reach and enabled him to establish Bells University and other assets? If you believe that, then you will believe anything.

Yes,The amount of Land Obasanjo and his fellow army Brothers stole using the Land Use Act Decree of 1978 in disguise with operation feed the Nation in the late 1970's,his descendants can never know poverty. A rich man's wealth is not known in his lifetime,why do you think the Queen of England is so rich?She has so much land.

Obasanjo and his fellow army Brothers have hectres of land they allocated to themselves all over the Federation all in the name of operation feed the nation back then,all those agricultural land of yesteryears are commercial properties 20 years from now to the future,take example from the Lekki axis of Lagos.

You can't imagine the amount of land the army stole back in the 70's,why do you think the Land Use Act is enshrined in the Nigeria Constitution and cannot be touched?
