Syria's daily images of want and lack are enough reminders
The world has conveniently forgotten her alongside Congo DR, Darfur in Sudan, etc
Yet when peaceful change is made impossible, violent change is inevitable

obi4eze: There'll be no civil war in Nigeria. There are genuine Christians that pray for this country night and day.

I feel I can consider myself as one of them. However, please note it is not all about praying. It is also about doing right. Righteousness exalts a nation. If we fail to warn ourselves and to condemn wickedness, we may with our own hands invite war. Our politicians are too much driven by greed and ethnic drives. That is not good. That can lead to war.

OBJ should let Nigerians and GEJ be....at this stage in his life he should be more concerned abt what his funeral would look like....yeye man! if he had done the right thing with all his experience and ruggedness by now weaker people like GEJ would be complimenting his job by simply bringing in technocrats that will play by the set down rules while the usual bureaucracy will checkmate each ministry and achieve a better result that will favour the Nigerian people and he'll still be remembered instead he wants to directly point out who gets what and why.

OBJ's greed for power and wealth that he can't finish in his life time has blinded him so he resorted cheap blackmail by showing up in every national meeting trying to create a scene which indirectly portrays a sitting president in a bad image....if I were GEJ I'll assassinate him after all OBJ wouldn't think twice to do the same thing.

Have guys ever bothered to know why OBJ keeps kicking up dust?....or is he the only ex president all over the world .George Bush left and left Obama alone or is OBJ contesting again?

Hardfact: …As Uduaghan promises job opportunities to ex-servicemen
FORMER President, Olusegun Obasanjo, Tuesday, cautioned Nigerian leaders against acts that could lead to anothercivil war , even as he shunned the request by Governor Ibikunle Amosun of Ogun State, to lay a wreath at the Armed Forces Remembrance Day in Abeokuta.
Obasanjo who spoke on the occasion for fallen heroes at Arcade ground in Oke-Mosan, Abeokuta, Ogun State, said Nigerians should learn from history. He urged government at all levels to remember the families of the slain soldiers.
Lamenting the loss of many security personnel during civil and international wars, he said Nigerian leaders should ensure that what led to the previous wars did not reccur.
According to Obasanjo, “war is not a picnic. When you engage in wars, lives are bound to be lost. That is why, as much as possible,wars should be avoided. For us in Nigeria, even when we were fighting against the colonial power, we lost Nigerians in Burma, in East Africa. But since the days of the constabulary, because that is where the Nigerian Army started from, Nigerian security forces have been losing lives either in support of civil authority or in fighting local wars.
Constant reminders these are the people that know what it's take to fight war,,,, so, all thes idiot politician that are not mature during civil war should be caution against their utterances and actions.
”The aim of this celebration is to constantly remember the sacrifice that the fallen heroes have made. It is also to constantly remind usthat they left familiesbehind who need to be catered for”
Meanwhile, there wasa mild drama at the armed forces Remembrance Day ceremony when former President Obasanjo shunned the request by governor Amosun to lay a wreath.
When Obasanjo’s name was mentioned as part of the dignitaries to lay the wreath,the former President declined despite pleas by thegovernor.
The programme was put on hold as many dignitaries including the Deputy governor, Segun Adesegun, the Iyalode of Egbaland, Alaba Lawson, pleaded with him to reconsider his stance.
Vanguard gathered that Obasanjo’s anger was because his name was not in the brochure as partof those that would lay the wreath.

if you know how much these polithiefcians plans to loot in the coming yrs then you wouldn't be talking abt war....nobody is going to war as long as the oil keeps flowing from the creeks and hinterland of the Niger Delta.
If you know how much investment they've allocated to themselves through privatization you won't talk abt war.
If you know how some people owned oil wells that run into billions of dollars you won't talk abt war

if you know how hard it is for them to stash all their loots abroad and feel comfortable you won't talk abt war.

Finally if you know how we the ordinary are polarized on region, religion and ethnicity then you will never talk abt war and if I may ask who is going to fight who?....will the corrupt elites in our various societies fight themselves when they can conveniently loot and share amongst themselves? When they can conveniently beat up the drums of sentiment and we will fall for it...my brother forget abt war it's a propaganda by the criminal elites to keep us constantly on our toes so that we can never demand for accountability from them.

My friend, war is not a demonic thing, it's an act of God, war brings 'liberation from oppressors' if well fought! And can lead to hostilities if 'badly fought'! Whether Christians pray against it or not, if it is in God's plan to happen it will surely happen. Nigeria is seriously toying with danger with the way we are playing politics!

Re: Obasanjo Warns Against Another Civil War! by Symphony007: 5:08pm On Jan 16, 2013
I am appalled that an ex president and especially one who lived through the horror of the civil war will even speak about a reoccurrence? And expecially on an occasion to honour those who died in nigeria's bloodiest war. I don't care if he was warning or whatever. It is wrong and should'nt be spoken about. I am disappionted.
