Obasanjo Launches Coalition For Nigeria Movement In Ogun by MRAKBEE(m): 1:57pm On Feb 01, 2018
Former President Olusegun Obasanjo, a few minutes ago, officially launched the Coalition for Nigeria Movement in Ogun State.

The ex-president, who arrived at the Iwe Irohin NUJ Press Centre, Oke Ilewo, Abeokuta, accompanied by the former governors of Cross River and Osun states, Donald Duke and Olagunsoye Oyinlola, respectively, Gboyega Nasiru Isiaka, Mrs. Modupe Adelaja and top politicians from the All Progressives Congress and Peoples Democratic Party, was afterward decorated with the official emblem of the Movement by Duke.
While addressing the full-packed hall, Obasanjo said his letter to Buhari last week was born not out of frivolity, but out of great concern for the situation in the country.

He added that Nigeria as a nation cannot continue business as usual, observing that:

“If the instrument we have used since independence has not worked, then we should rethink and retool to make the country work.”

Obasanjo, who stressed that Nigeria, like any other countries, has various challenges, explained that the Coalition was set up to mobilize Nigerians for peace, unity, security, stability, love, welfare and the wellbeing of vulnerable Nigerians, particularly youth and women who, according to him, have been at the receiving end of national crises.

He mentioned the disrespect for the federal character as enshrined in the country’s constitution, the spate of killings and violence across the country, and the parlous nature of Nigeria’s economy under President Buhari’s administration, as some of the reasons for the Coalition.

Hmmm Donald Duke was there, Baba knows most youths wants Duke so he's indirectly vouching or supporting him, am still wondering why PMB will tell his goons not to negate and probe OBJ even after the LETTER since that's the norm for people against him.

It's either PMB knows he will loose or he's bidding time

I listened to a caller on Jimi Disu's show and i must say niaralanders should learn to live together and in peace!
The caller asked if the killings going were to be happening in daura, would buhari still be disl silent?
Some youth also spoke on the programme and what I postulate is we the youth should come together as one and fight for our right!
No more nonsensical talks on skull miner, ewedu whatever!
Let d elders sit back and give us advice...
They have tried to make us useless but I believe the saying which goes" the moment u realise you have a problem, the problem is half way solved"

Nigerian youths, please and please let us THINK, THINK and THINK...

It is a welcome development as long it has the support of Nigerian youths. Any development now should incorporate the youths. Long gone is the time we expect to move into the future with old men who are not part of it. These men are having their future right now and they cannot build anything tangible. Donald Trump is dull but look at the recent record, he is continuing the works of Obama and poverty and unemployment rate is reducing across the US. Buhari has been in the office for 3 years with nothing to hold on to as an accomplishment. They blamed Johnathan for 2 who years and they have seen that the blame game has clearly faded in the third year. They keep sai babaing like idiots.

A sick old man with gap tooth shaped should know when his boat is sinking. I watched his speech criticizing OBJ for writing his a letter. Are we truly having a democracy? You mean the subjects cannot write letter to express how they feel about your government? Where is the freedom of speech. Buhari has time to attend funerals and weddings but he cannot visit the families of the victims that his boys massacred.

It has come to a point where we have to call this what it is. This are not herdsmen, they are muslims who are insidiously trying to do the same thing they did in Turkey, in Lebanon and many other countries. Their mission is to take over the world for no good reason. They are killing everywhere in the world. They have no respect for the lives of infidels. They keep quiet and pretend not to be extremist, but they rejoice in their homes when infidels are killed, they promote ideas of barbarism and terror. Look at them in the US, France, Australia, UK and other countries in Europe messing the countries and terrifying the lives of innocent citizens. The displaced people in Burma cannot go to other Islamic countries to seek refuge. There is Saudi Arabia, the home of Islam but they are not taking refugees from countries in which they themselves strike. Saudi Arabia has been pillaging Syria and Iraq for years but they will never take in any displaced Muslims. Look at Turkey, Qatar, Yemen, UAE having wealth and showcasing their stink oil money but they do not extend any goodwill to their fellow muslims. how many Islamic countries have criticized Boko Haram? None! They know what they are doing. The Jews in Sudan have all been killed and chased out, Muslims were rejoicing and jubilating after the horrifying 9/11 attack on the US. The are all running to the US, Canada, Australia, UK because none of the Islamic states are functioning. Yet they take their religion with them and want to tell people how to live their lives in their own countries. They have taken up some portion of the UK already. They are not satisfied with the Sharia law that they agree to yet they support it and want to enforce in.

These herdsmen are not just herdsmen! let us call them for what they are, Muslims. They said that they have defeated book Haram, with what? how? we do not see any real evidence of the victory. Our soldiers are still being killed daily and we have defeated book haram. they said that the 234 missing girls was a hoax, is the bombing also a hoax? where then did book haram find those women that reproduced for them?

Let us not fool anyone here. No Imam home and abroad has clearly come out to condemn any killing done by muslims. Who really is an extremist? is an accomplice not also an extremist? Let us decide for ourselves what we want in this country. If it warrants us to divide, so be it! Let everyone have his sovereignty and let everyone practice his own religion.

I am tired of these killings and living in fear over my fellow man. We are not the only country in Africa yet we never leave the news headlines. We are always there for insecurities. We have security agencies, but they are just toys waiting for oga to give them a command. What is this? How old is OBJ that Nigerian polity still has to depend on him for a turn around.

Where is Tinubu who started all these mess? He said that he is the king maker. Is this the kind of king that he makes? a deaf king with gap tooth like a farm tool. Tinubu should also bear some responsibilities. He should come out and address the Yoruba nation if this is the Nigeria that he made for our children. It is time for our youths to take the center stage and show these old men how to cerate a change. I am sick and tired of men leading me into a future that they will not see.

and I know the muslims will come after me. they only attack people who expose them. they will never comment on the terrorism that they are guilty for, but they will attack you for speaking out against the evil that they perpetrate. before you quote me and teach me how peaceful islam is, send me a link to your comments against the killing and terror acts by your brothers.

It's very hard for me to trust this Man.
Obasanjo...
Please be patriotic...
If we're to retool..
Let's do consensus,let's all agreed on true federalism.
1.each state control her resources.
2.each state control her security...(State police).
3.each state generate power for itself and her people.
4.each state should have her laws .
5.each state should have freedom to legalise or ban Marijuana,gay marriage..etc.
6.Each state determines her minimum wage.
7.Each State should be in charge of local government creation/cancellation and funding.
8.State will pay 20% of their IGR to federal...and federal will only be in charge of
i.border protection
ii.international duties.
iii.custom,Military and DSS.
IV.NFA,NIBS,NPC.etc.
And in less than a year most problem will be solved.
There will be no more:
1.Bokoharam.
2.Niger delta Militants.
3.Herdsmen killing.
4.Excess number in population in North will reduce (scam)
5.excess local government in the north will reduce
6.And several problems not itemised.


But Nigeria will never do that...we know the truth,but we're scared of it.

Buhari may not have performed the fast magic many had expected but, that can't be said that he has failed totally. Many major FG roads are under construction today including Enugu-Onitsha and Ph-Aba roads abandoned by previous governments. Second niger bridge is under construction. There is massive improvement on the rail sector while the agricultural sector is becoming a gold mine for many young nigerians. The economy is recovering too though that should have been handled better. The social welfare programs like N-power scheme is still empowering young nigerians. Boko haram have been subdued and fulani-herdsmen clashes is also being handled.

It's just three years and I strongly believe that in the next 5 years, the change agenda of this administration will be fully appreciated. I pray God to grant PMB/PYO wisdom and sound health, because for now, they are still the best and only option.

It might sound like conspiracy theory but something tells me APC is just diluting it's reach in case anything happens come 2019. It wasn't a coincidence that the APC big wigs didn't berate Obasanjo for his letter to Buhari. Politics is like chess, the players are politicians while we are the pawns. And the principal strategy of the game is never let your opponent anticipate your next move..... PDP won't see this coming.
