Former military President Ibrahim Babangida on Wednesday said that he would embrace former President Olusegun Obasanjo if  both met.

“I will embrace him (Obasanjo) if he walks to the airport now,’’ Babangida said when reporters asked what he would do if Obasanjo walked into him at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport.

The public feud between former heads of state Ibrahim Babangida (IBB) and Olusegun Obasanjo (OBJ) is an occasion to reflect on the high price the Nigeria has paid for poor governance.

The two have been military colleagues since the Biafra War (1967-1970) and are an integral part of the patron-client system that runs Nigeria. IBB was the military chief of state for eight years, while OBJ was the military chief of state for three years and then the nominally civilian elected

president of Nigeria for an additional eight years. Within the Nigerian military, OBJ was senior to IBB, though both are four star retired generals. They are about the same age and both made their fortunes via the access that military power provides.

IBB used the occasion of his seventieth birthday to compare favorably his time in office to that of OBJ. More specifically, he said that OBJ had wasted some sixteen billion dollars on power projects. OBJ responded by calling IBB a fool, citing conflicting verses from proverbs about whether he should respond or not. (He chose to do so.)

IBB’s initial salvo surprised me because in the past he has said that public condemnation of a senior colleague violates good military discipline
Press commentators are having a field day, accusing both “big men” of pettiness, lack of decorum, and of suffering from an “embarrassing disdain for intellectual rigor.”

Re: I Will Embrace Obasanjo If We Meet Says Ibb by okadaman2: 8:47am On Aug 25, 2011
They are treating their embarassingly Stuuuuuupid squabble  the same way they treated Nigerians and the country;

No strong sense of conviction

No remorse

No serious position or ideological reason to their fight

Very shifty, self serving, crafty and total lack of will to fight for a cause

Comical unserious, unintelligent, disgraceful and shameless

No spine, no passion, totally warped moral compass



Nature owe Nigerians a big apology for dropping these Idioooots on our laps. Very tough luck. We suffer sha embarassed
Re: I Will Embrace Obasanjo If We Meet Says Ibb by Pukkah: 8:50am On Aug 25, 2011
Any wonder that Nigeria is like this given the quality of these two men who both ruled country for almost 20 years?  The only thing they are passionate about is their own selfish interest.

While Babangida remains a cunning fox, the only person that matters to OBJ is Obasanjo.

Re: I Will Embrace Obasanjo If We Meet Says Ibb by djustice: 1:09pm On Aug 25, 2011
Even Fani-Kayode has reversed himself. He hasn't recanted the IBB/Dimka story though, even though that is a false recollection of history on his part. IBB was sent by Danjuma to ARREST Dimka at Radio Nigeria. He got there and started negotiating with the man so tay, bobo walked out of there scot free.

Danjuma was livid and had IBB detained and would have tried him as one of the coup plotters but for OBJ's intervention.

Fast forward to the 90s. IBB's unending "transition programme" got the country so wound up that he stepped aside, and Abacha stepped in, after the forgettable Shonekan interlude. OBJ ended up in Abacha's gulag as a result of IBB's maradonic behaviour that dribbled the entire nation into a corner.

IBB should shut the fu ck up, because if it were not for OBJ, they would have used him as example for Saddam, Mubarak and Gaddafi.
