publisher: [size=13pt]Did Obasanjo expect the Ijaw nation to sit down and watch as prominent Hausa/Fulani leaders continue to threaten bloodshed and making Nigeria ungovernable just because an Ijaw son is president? This same peeps with their compatriots from SE will also return Jonathan back to power next elections after all they are in the majority. Surely considering the respect SW pdp has for obj, the support of Jonathan from this region has gone down. This is good news for demdem. |

Demdem: SW PDP has respect for OBJ? You are a clown! So what happened in Oyo and Ogun in 2011? I see the respect for OBJ really paid off. OBJ was the single biggest undoing of PDP in 2011. Without him, PDP would have won Ogun and Oyo and even done far better in Ekiti. Yeye |

Having read 60% of d comment here, I want to ask the house a question and pls, I only need a reasonable person to answer me. Since 80% of comments here condemmed Obj, Amechi, Tambuwal and even kwankwaso claim of our president to be supporting corruption, whose statement are we going to believe to b true then... Who can point out your short comings between your family members and a stranger or a visitor. Thanks 1 Like |

OBJ is just a hypocrite. How has he transformed Nigeria for the whole 11 years as the Head of State/President ? Some people are saying he fought corruption by imprisoning Tafa Balogun, Bode George etc. Pls let them tell us how much of the funds was recovered. Bode George embezzled 85bn Naira and he went to jail for only 6months. When he came out, he held a massive thanks giving. Is that how corruption is fought ? Why did he campaign for GEJ in the 1st place. If he should attack GEJ, he should also be held accountable for rigging for him. Or else he should shut up !! 1 Like |

This is a case of history repeating itself Muse ( Archives) : THE RESIGNATION OF AUDU OGBEH, PDP CHAIRMAN Reuters Monday, January 10, 2005 Audu Ogbeh, PDP Chairman, resigns By CAMILLUS EBOH Audu Ogbeh told reporters he resigned to ensure the People's Democratic Party (PDP) would "remain stable without crisis", but senior party members said he was forced out by Obasanjo who could not take his scathing criticism. Ogbeh's resignation, which takes effect from Feb. 28, came after weeks of horse- trading by senior PDP members who had wanted to save the party chief. "We are all very upset. Obasanjo's intolerance is a very bad sign. We are scared that we are moving towards tyranny," said a senior PDP member who had supported Ogbeh. Politicians and analysts said Ogbeh's letter, dated Dec. 5 and published in the local press, reflected widespread frustration with Obasanjo whose election in 1999 ended 15 years of military rule in the poverty-ravaged oil exporting nation. Obasanjo's economic reform programme, which has received the informal backing of the International Monetary Fund, has failed to lift most Nigerians out of poverty. Corruption has remained endemic five years after his first election, despite a high profile campaign against graft. Ogbeh drew a parallel between Obasanjo's government and that of Shehu Shagari, sacked in a coup in 1983 after four years in office, and warned the president was heading in the same direction. Ogbeh's letter also outlined the situation in southeast Anambra state where police stood by in November as political militants torched government buildings and shot at the governor's convoy during three days of rioting. Angered by the stark warning, Obasanjo threatened Ogbeh with investigation by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission. Analysts say the Anambra crisis reflects poorly on Obasanjo beacuse he had withdrawn police protection from governor Chris Ngige, who is locked in a bitter power struggle with his estranged political patron, Chris Uba. Uba's brother is one of the president's closest aides. Anambra is one of more than a dozen states where there was widespread rigging in the 2003 general elections, which returned Obasanjo for a second term in office. Earlier in October, one of Africa's most prominent literary icons, Chinua Achebe, rejected a national honour from the Nigerian government citing the political crisis in his home state of Anambra. Civil rights groups have accused Obasanjo, a former military ruler, of running a "civilian dictatorship" in Africa's most populous nation, a charge the president denies. |

balotelli: I think some people on this Nairaland Forum are just stupid and they are devoid of constructive reasoning and argument , why Can't u see that GEJ is Not performing , Where I live in Lag we have Just 3hrs of PHCN power everyday it Has never been as Bad as this even during Abacha's Regime , in those days I only heard that people embezzled Millions of Naira but this days its Billions of Dollars ,ASUU strike ,Massive Crude Oil Theft ,Boko Haram N Kidnappings , Unemployment is on the Increase coming to that I recently got a Truck to do diesel supply and just put a small advert out with my Email looking for a driver who knows lagos Route and I was bewildered when I got almost 5 thousand Mails with CVs of graduates with good grades ,I felt so bad that I said to my self I better sit up and Get my Game Right Oh please spare us the trash talk! You have no argument here at all! You talk about the paltry 3hrs of light you enjoy per day. Here in Uyo (Ewet Housing, estate) it has increased from 2-4hrs of half-current power supply to 6hrs solid supply. In PHC where I also own a home [Ada George], everyone is struggling to cutover from the state distribution lines to Federal cos those of the later enjoy waaay more hrs of power supply its not funny. And in Taraba where I worked, I enjoyed SOLID 22-24hrs CONSTANT POWER SUPPLY. Things are not perfect, but there's been remarkable improvements thanks to the good works of Team GEJ. More power stations have been commissioned and more are still being built, and our transmission and distribution systems have been repaired and expanded on. Shouldnt GEJ be commended for that? And yes we still have a lot of issues with crude oil theft. When I visted a friend working with DPR, he did mention that close to 40% of produced crude's been stolen. As a person who sells petroleum products (PMS, AGO, DPK, and lubes), I know that one of the consequences of this (apart of loss of revenue for the country and coys, and environmental pollutions due to oil spills from the sabotage works of these thieves) is the proliferation of illegal refineries and the flooding of the market with poor quality AGO (diesel) product that has lead to the damage of diesel engines across the country and a drop in sales. Every station owner know that it took MONTHS to sell off a single tank of AGO due to poor sales. BUT GEJ changed all that. Under his watch, the JTF has raided and shut down tens of illegal refineries, taking a huge quantity of poorly refined diesel off the market, thus restoring the cibfidence of buyers. Now sales have picked up. Under the same watch of GEJ, the Nigerian has acquired additional platforms and have stepped up patrols against illegal bunkering and piracy. They equally have an impressive awareness program against the former (COT). As for the security issues, we all know that the problem of kidnapping was effectively dealt with particularly in the SE region by the GEJ admin when the president authorized the transfrr of MAj. Gen. Bello (current Counter-Terror Adviser, Office of the NSA) to serve as the GOC 82 Div, Enugu. As for the Boko Haram problem we face in the NE, yes the President wobbled initially cos the nation has never faced such problem before. But thanks to his leadership, the Armed Forces, Police Force, and Intelligence Agencies have been well funded and totally transformed to truely professional services. The Army in particularly is no longer just a usual conventional force, but a true COIN and Counter Terror Force. We'rr not out of the woods yet, but we will get there. As for other sectors, I believe a number of us have spoken on that substantially, but I will advise that you travel beyond the boundaries of Lagos and go see for yourself the works of your president. 2 Likes |

When governor Amaechi claimed five billion dollars were missing from the federal reserve, we all thought He (Amaechi) was lying.... Within that very space of time, NNPC was involved in a scam of about Ten billion dollars....., the CBN governor, Sanusi came out telling Nigerians that 49.8 billion dollars was not remitted...,only for such corruption tales to be said also by OBJ and Tambuwal... what a monumental fraud under the very nose of the president? It's about time the National Assembly as well as the Nigerian masses rose(up) to IMPEACH the president...This evil done by HIM and his cohort is killing Nigerians on a daily basis. Thanks. 4 Likes |

See OBJ that was collecting N1.00 via MTN from even the poor Nigerians that cld afford only as low as N100.00 recharge card . See OBJ that swindled billions in the power sector with Liyel Imoke in the name of providing constant electricity for Nigerians. See OBJ that killed and buried the Halliburton (plus other companies) Bribery Scandal because he is involved in the dirty deal. See OBJ that sold government establishments like Refineries, NITEL, Transcorp etc, to his "boys" just a few days before he left office. See OBJ that sent many to the great beyond just for opposing his selfish ideas except Orji Uzor Kalu whom is shielded by mother like hen. How many can we count? Maybe somebody should help me recount his atrocities because I personally do not like to keep things like that in mind. But all I know is that he is much worse than GEJ and should take several seats at the back. All the people fighting GEJ are alive and well. And even seated in power, but who could dare talk against OBJ in those eight years of his tenure. And to think that he wanted to extend his stay in Aso Rock till God knows when. Was that part of the agreement he had with the stakeholders and Nigerians? |

Whether obj has the moral right or not to say the truth is immaterial. He failed in his time, he is taking the opportunity of Jonah's Intimate romance with corruption to say his part as an elder statesman that he is or expected to be. He could have regrets for somethings he did wrongly or could have done better and this was is golden opportunity to correct it a little and posterity will judge him right for speaking up in the face of wanton corruption. Leave the messenger and face the message. Debunk the message and not the messenger. Even God used donkey to speak to Balaam in the bible, how much more the clueless president. At least obj demonstrated gut to fight corruption. What has the Dundee Utd we have as president done to even show he has the liver to tackle it. He is busy wining and dining in corruption, promoting and encouraging corruption ----committee setting president. Our president is an active participant in the looting of the nation and it is so clear he has no control over his aides. I regret ever voting for him. When will he set up committee on obj's letter too? Keep deceiving yourself on GEJs achievements. Tell us in concrete terms and not the esoteric lies of economic jargons, that he has achieved. Tell us the projects he conceived initiated an completed solely? It is only a president that does not have something substantial to show that will be giving us economic indices that are not translating to anything in the lives of average Nigerians. 1 Like |
