I did a little resarch on Late Idi Amin Dada, former military president & detector of Ugada, who siezed power in 1971, and ruled till 1979. I found some of his quotes very funny and decided to share them.
1. "I am not a politician but a professional
soldier. I am, therefore, a man of few
words and I have been brief through my
professional career."

2. If we knew the meaning to
everything that is happening to
us, then there would be no
meaning.

3. In any country there must be
people who have to die. They
are the sacrifices any nation has
to make to achieve law and
order.

4. I am the hero of Africa.

5. My mission is to lead the country
out of a bad situation of
corruption, depression and
slavery. After I rid the country of
these vices, I will then organize
and supervise a general election
of a genuinely democratic civilian
government.

6. Politics is like boxing — you try to
knock out your opponents.

7. I'm a good Muslim and I'm only
interested in Islam.

8. It's not for me. I tried human
flesh and it's too salty for my
taste.

9. I myself consider myself the most
powerful figure in the world

10. Although some people felt Adolf
Hitler was bad, he was a great
man and a real conqueror whose
name would never be forgotten.

11. You cannot run faster than a
bullet

12. I do not want to be controlled by any
superpower. I myself consider myself the
most powerful figure in the world, and
that is why I do not let any superpower
control me.

13. I want your heart. I want to eat your
children.
(Idi Amin to an adviser just before
dinner)
I ate them before they ate me

14. We Africans used to carry
Europeans, but now Europeans are
carrying us. We are now the masters …
They came from Britian and wanted to
show that they really have power in my
country.”

This is a speech he made to the Queen of England, "My majesty Mr. Queen Sir, horrible
ministers and members of parliament,
invented Guests, ladies under
gentlemen. I hereby thank you
completely…..Mr. Queen, sir; and also
what he has done for me and my fellow
Uganda who come with me.
We have really eaten very much. And
we are fed up completely:And also very
thanks to you keenly open up from all
windows: so that those plenty climates
can come into lunch. But before I go
back to my country with a plane from
the Entebbe airport of London I wish to
invitation you Mr. Queen, to become
home to Uganda so that we can also
revenge on you .
You will eat a full cow:and also feel up
your stomach and walk with difficult
because of full stomach completely.
Even when you want to rest at night; I
will make sure that you sleep on top of
me in the top up stairs of my mansion
completely so that you can enjoy all the
gravity of fresh air.
"But now am sorry because I have to
tell you that I have made a shortcall on
you only. But next time I shall make a
long call on you to last the whole moon
completely. Thank you very much to
allow me to UnCloth you completely
before these extinguished ladies
undergentlemen sir.
Lastly but not list, I ask the band to play
our international anthem of the republic
of Uganda and also the British
international anthem..Your majesty sir, I
thank you from the bottom of my heart
and from thebottoms of all the people
of Uganda .
With this few words I thank you Sir."

Idi amin is a commensurate model of stupidity and backwardness.

Obasanjo was also thinking in such direction ....

"You can never achieve longtime prosperity through force but promoting sound ideology and orientation" .... When people see you as a model of prosperous good-liness, they will follow you, fight for you and stand for you and in no time , you will conquer your society even after your demise, Your people will still live in advance form of your ideology.

Though no good orientation last forever, Life permutations get it corrupted over time.
