Reps Bribe Scandals: Has OBJ been Vindicated? by visionsen(m): 6:20am On Jun 21, 2012
When former President Olusegun Obasanjo lambasted the National Assembly a few weeks ago many people called him names some legislators had wanted to protest.The Corruption cases involving the so called Hon. members in Abuja recently has vindicated the elder statesman.
Today, we now know that Obasanjo might have known little more than many of us as he was allegedly privy to the shameful solicitation and collection of a bribe by someone who is ‘famous’ for anti- corruption posturing in the parliament. Even as we wait for the final pronouncements of investigating agencies, it is believed that the unfolding drama in the House of Representatives has exposed the selfish and unpatriotic character of the Nigeria political class and the decay in an institution constitutionally empowered to provide an anti-corruption check on democracy.

Yeah he is right because he is the father of them all. He knows the practise of these three arms of Government in Nigeria--1)Legislooters 2)Executhieves 3) Judishareres more than anyone. No wonder a 6-year old boy was caught stealing his father money and asked him:"Do you know where u are going to end with ur stealing?" The boy said, YES. Where? "HOUSE OF ASSEMBLY" Lol!

As much as I detest the man OBJ, it's pretty obvious who's laughing now. The fact that this can be happening to Farouk Lawan makes it all the more damning. The writing is on the wall and the letters boldly say V-I-N-D-I-C-A-T-I-O-N!

Obasanjo's case is like dat of a thief exposing a fellow thief. Does that now make him a saint? Baba himself is the chief thief king maker therefore he has no moral right nor justification to label/accuse anyone as a thief. He should keep quite jor..

To imagine that this is the same OBJ that coined the phrase that winning election is a "do or die affair" for the People Deceving People. He almost singled handely gave us Yardua and after that his 2nd in command took over. My take is that the sooner they start tAlking the better for all of us. You might even hear that he 'is implicated in the probe report that we haven't heard of in a while. After all Mr. Intergrity himself turned out to be a Facrook.

I am not the originator of the excerpt below, but it does remind me of what goes on in this country, as a pun of course wink

Subject: If Noah had been a Nigerian 
 And the Lord spoke to Noah and said: ''I will give you six months to build me an Ark. At the end of six months I will send rain to cover the entire earth and destroy all bad people.
However, I want to save a few good people, and the animals, two of every kind. So I am ordering you to build an Ark for me'', said the Lord.
In a flash of lightning he delivered the specifications for an Ark.  ''No problem'', said Noah, trembling in fear and fumbling with the blueprints. ''Six months, and it starts to rain'' thundered the Lord. ''You'd better have my Ark completed, or learn how to swim for a very longtime''.And six months passed. The skies began to cloud up and rain began to fall.
The Lord saw that Noah was sitting in his front yard, weeping. And there was no Ark. ''Noah'', shouted the Lord, ''where is my Ark?''.
A lightning boltcrashed into the ground next to Noah, for emphasis.  ''Oga, a beg make you forgive me,'' begged Noah. ''I don try - ah! Ah! De trouble were my eye see no be small, I swear. Dem tell me say I need certificate of occupancy before I go kuku build de Ark. I don waka Ministry of Works so tey I tire. Then, I come see say na money dem want, and I carry all de money wey I get gif dem. Na im dem tell me say make I add extra windows for ''cross ventilation'', and make I divide de toilet from de bath, so that if I de go toilet, another person fit de bath. Anyway, I pay one engineer so, make im modify de plans for me.
So, after I don finish dat one, I come go for forest to go get wood. Dem tell me say I no fit cut wood without permit from Forestry people. Anyway, I go see de forestry people dem and dem say I fit go cut de wood. When I reach de village now, dem no gree make I cut wood. Dem say I must gif dem their share - because na so one big man compensation. Na waoh! and me think say government no de gree us export wood. Finally, as dem wan fight me, I quickly settle de village chief, and dem com gree say make I take wood. Before I go carry de wood reach my house, na so so wahala for road. I settle police, I settle soldier, I settle customs, I settle immigration, I settle tax man, I settle local government, then when I don reach my house now, de truck driver and him boys say if I no settle dem, dem no go help me offload de wood''.  ''As I start to build de Ark now, na im task force people come mark 'X' for de Ark, say I no suppose to build de Ark for dis place. Dem ask me say whether I no no say ''environmental sanitation decree'' no de allow dis kind thing for inside town. Anyway I think say na my neighbour na im call dem, de man de jealous me well well. Wetin I go do, I settle dem too. As I say make I kuku hurry finish de Ark, na im de carpenters where de help me come talk say dem no go work again unless gif dem extra money. Me sef I surprise wen dem tell me say de here say na big government contract where I de do and plenty money dey inside. To cut long story, I settle dem too. Anyway, people plenty now wey de build de Ark, apprentice full ground''.  ''As I begin to gather de animal dem, I come jam another trouble. De ''404'' people dem no want make I take their dogs, dem say na delicacy. Bushmeat and fowl people no gree me. Even de people wey de chop ''isi ewu'' come vex with me. Dem ask me whether I no no say meat don too cost these days, where I wan carry de small meat where dey ground. So, I wan tell you now say, I no fit find dog, fowl, goat, or bush meat, and infact I just manage get cow, as one mallam don nearly dagger me when I want take de cow dem''.   ''One day as I de build de Ark now, na im NDLEA come arrest me carry me go prison for questioning. Dem talk say, dem hear say I wan carry de Ark smuggle cocaine & Indian hemp to America. Later, sha dem come find say no be me dem de look for, so dem release me, I never even reach home, when SSS come arrest me for further questioning, say dem hear say I be NADECO, and I wan carry de Ark go smuggle guns and bombs to come overthrow Naija government. Anyway, I come convince dem say I no know wetin be NADECO, dem release but tell me make I de report to frce headquarters every day. As I de gather de animal dem, na im FEPA come send me letter say I never gif dem environmental impact assessment for de animal shit where I go throway and de flood where you wan send. I tell dem say na you wan send flood cover de whole world. Dem no happy at all! Dem tell me say nobody fit do dat kind ting without permission from dem. Anyway, as de chief engineer say make I show am de place where de flood go start. I give am map of de world, he no satisfy, so I settle am too.''   ''As you see me de cry so, na because ee day like say dis wahala no de finish. De local government chairman where my house dey come call me tribalistic. Him talk say almost all de carpenters and labourers wey de work for me come from my village. Him talk say I must gif work to some of de town boys. I tell am make he send them, him no gree. Everyday him go send ''area boys'' to come cause wahala for me. Dem wan spoil de small part of de Ark where I don build so. Dem no dey gree us work again. Everyday where dem come here I must gif dem money otherwise, dem wan scatter de Ark.''   ''Oga Lord, I tell you, I don tire, even sef de other day, tax collector come, come say I never pay tax, say dem wan arrest me. I tell dem say I don pay tax last year, dem tell me say dis year I must pay de tax in advance, so I don kuku spend all de money where I get for settling. Make I tell you de truth, I no think say I go finish dis your Ark sef, even if you gif me five years,'' Noah wailed.   The sky began to clear. The sun began to shine. A rainbow arched across the sky. Noah looked up and smiled. ''You mean say you no go send flood take destroy de earth?'' Noah asked, hopefully. 
 
 
''Wrong!'' thundered the Lord. ''But being Lord of the Universe has its advantages. I fully intend to smite the Earth, but with something far worse than a flood. Something man invented himself.''   ''Wetin be dat?'' asked Noah.  There was a long pause, and then the Lord spake his last word,  ''Government"

How can you vindicate a kingpin rougue for calling rogues rogues?Yamhead.

That obj is not in jail or being executed in nigeria today is because nigeria is a rogue country,ruled by rogues like him.He knows they can't do nothing to him because they are all the same.His present frustrtions stems from the fact that his not a kingpin anymore,he's been pushed aside by fresh rogues like david mark.
