Former Nigerian three-term president, Olusegun Obasanjo was booed on an Emirates flight 783 from Dubai to Lagos on 14 November 2013.

Obasanjo was returning from a business trip in Dubai when his countrymen gave him an unfriendly welcome on the flight with boos and invective.

The Nigerians had been waiting on the cue to board when they were asked to make way for the First Class premium passenger. Eager to board “sharp sharp” (hurriedly) the Nigerian way, the Economy class passengers protested that after Obasanjo took them hostage for over 10 years as President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, they were not so ready to step aside to make way for him, to control them from the “passenger seat”.

Obasanjo first came to power in Nigeria through a military Coup d’Etat on 13 February 1976. He handed over power to Shehu Shagari on 1 October 1979 following democratic elections after two years in power. He went into private life as a farmer and traditional chief in Ogun State. He came back from retirement and contested elections winning twice to become civilian President from 29 May 1999 to 29 May 2007.

Nigerians blame him for most of their woes as they claim he is the Godfather of all Nigerian Presidents since the 1980s. They see his weight behind most past and present presidents of Nigeria. They have not also forgiven him for raiding and burning down the house of Fela Kuti, the late popular highlife musician. Fela and his family were beaten and raped and his mother, political activist Funmilayo Ransome Kuti was thrown out of a window to her death.

Like seriously.I think this will serve as a warning to our present crop of leaders. it's either they make a mark for themselves by delivering the dividends of democracy for which they were elected or face a similar humiliation when they are no longer in office.
