obailala: Ask Sijuwade. He's still in office I presume. But I'm certain the response you will get is simple, the same reason you find more second-hand cars, planes and ships transporting us and our goods up and down Nigeria every day, economics. The OBJ plan may be lofty but how realistic and attainable. You yourself attest to the fact that OBJ in 8 years could only deliver 200+ kilometers of 'world class' rail line. So what do you expect in 6 years 150km? And where will 400km of national rail line do? Nothing. Is it not better to renovate the existing akpu line, get it to work first before seeking caviar to eat. Is it the train you want or the service. Look my friend, development is about incremental improvements not Sunday afternoon supermarket wishlists. No government has the time or the resources to turn Lagos to London or Daura to Dubai. All what we should seek is consistency, sincerity of purpose and hardwork. OBJ started some, completed some. GEJ started some, completed some. If PMB decides to abandon all, starts all and completes none he will be adjudged a failure. No sentiments. 5 Likes 1 Share |

obailala: Biko, if an action can give birth to "positive economic, political and social impacts" (to use your words) even if those 'mere' actions are not visible or quantifiable, then it means such impact can be verified. Please provide verifiable proofs of the positive economic, political and social impact that OBJ's 'mere' actions had on the lives of ordinary Nigerians, when he was in power. As for seeing the things that put food on our tables, I make no apologies for that. Are you advocating that we should turn a blind eye to those things, if they are legitimate and appropriate, and end up dying of hunger?? Bros, it is those things which put food on our tables, shelter over our heads, clothes on our backs, healthcare at our doorstep, education in our schools and jobs which provide a regular, sustainable paycheck, that enable us to have something called a "quality of life." Others would call it "contributing to our well-being." If you want to continue dwelling on the esoteric plane, feel free. 3 Likes |

laudate:Just like I said, it is only typical for people not to see underlying efforts, most people are totally incapable of seeing or appreciating the big picture. The moneys spent by Yaradua and GEJ for those projects you laud them for, a chunk of those moneys were saved by OBJ. OBJ met a foreign reserve of $5billion dollars when he assumed office but he grew that amount to over forty something billion dollars by the time he left office. OBJ also created the ECA account and grew it from zero to over $20 billion dollars by the time he left office. OBJ also wiped our external debts from over thirty something billion dollars to less than 5 billion. The question I ask is, what did other administrations do apart from reducing these savings to zero with next to nothing to show for it?... Yet we celebrate them and claim OBJ was a useless baboon. No doubt that OBJ was a corrupt man too, but I find it rather repulsive that he is being adjudged as having achieved absolutely 'nothing' for Nigeria. 1 Like |

Re: Railways: Jonathan Lacked Vision –obasanjo by laudate: 4:42pm On Jul 29, 2015 |
obailala: Yeah.....OBJ paid back money, and OBJ saved money. What next?? Is he a banker or a thrift collector? Other countries would have taken part of those funds, and invested it in developing infrastructure to make life better for their citizenry, creating jobs to improve the lot of their people, improving healthcare to prevent (or at least, reduce) mortality, security to safeguard internal and external borders from aggressors and driving commerce to make it easier for companies to do business. On the social and financial well-being index, how were Nigerian citizens faring under OBJ? Am not saying his successors were perfect, but OBJ's holier-than-thou attitude makes me puke! 4 Likes |

laudate:And why have you never considered that it could be proper planning?... Which leader likes to just sit down and watch as his people suffer even when there's money in the account? Do you really think OBJ not awarding contracts randomly (even though the funds were piling up in the reserves), do you honestly think that is an act of a man who didn't know where he was going to? So how do you compare that with the one who has finally spent al the money yet we still remain where we are?... Think bro.. try and see the bigger picture. Don't try to view this only through the lense of politics; this is common sense. |

obailala: You seem intelligent,but your utterances sounds like one who is ignorant or fails to acknowledge the truth. I ask you to name one meaningful achievement of the Obasanjo regime and here you are talking out of point. What am I suppose to use as a yardstick to measure achievement? I care about that which takes care of my needs,as every other African. 1 Like |

obailala: What kind of proper planning! Does planning last for ever? He planned for 8 years, abi? That is the height of cluelessness. He knew he had a limited tenure, yet he planned so much that he fell far short on execution, during that period. This is truly the hallmark of failure. The man had a sinister, hidden agenda and wanted a third term to execute it! Thank God, Nigerians kicked against it. GEJ may not have done much better, but he definitely was NOT worse than OBJ, and he is not the devil that OBJ keeps trying to make him out to be. I have seen the big picture...OBJ is the one offering the Nigerian populace, a chalice of advice laced with poison! 3 Likes |
