atlwireles: I took my time to read this letter twice. Goodluck has to explain his luck to Nigerians in one form or another. How can this letter show up in such a moment. Without replying OBJ, OBJ's daughter sent a nuclear bomb directly into his political heart. This man is finished in this land forever. How lucky can one person be in life. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, I will never pick a fight with you. This is just surreal shocked shocked shocked shocked shocked shocked shocked

Why should an outpouring from my heart to God be addressed to the public? Am I writing a poem?(Probably) Why should a letter to popsi be spread out in the sun? Why should I ridicule my family in the name of resolving our private issues? Issues I didn't bother to address in public when I was a Commissioner; not even when I became a senator. We all know OBJ has had problems with his family members. A over-200-paged-book has been written to that effect. What's our business with her problems with her dad?

If this letter, considering its timing, is intended to discredit OBJ's letter to GEJ then, it's a childish attempt at a fallacy ad hominem. We've seen this sort of thing happening before. I'm not defending OBJ but he has raised serious allegations that require a reply and not an insult at his personality nor dismal by a wave of the hand.

OBJ may be guilty of the allegations he levied against GEJ; he may have problems with his family members; for all I care, he may even be a dictator in his home. The fact remains that a President of a country has been accused of grievous and impeachable offences and the people need a reply as soon as possible.

I'm expecting more events to unfold. Fingers crossed.

Kings@77:
Having read Iyabo Obasanjo's letter,which I'm sure her dad must have read too,my conclusion is that families will start to break-off before Nigeria will break into pieces.
Though she might be right,but if she is a well brought-up child (by her mother) as she has claimed,she need not to make the letter public,but I smell rat about this letter,somethings will unfold very very soon in this country so I urge all Nigerians to be on the look-out and be ready for whatever may come,but most importantly be watchful and GUARD YOURSELVES AND YOUR TERRITORY.
She said she was well brought up. Yet she spreads her dirty lenen in public. A disgraceful child.

You called me after your vengeful letter as usual, looking out for yourself and thinking you will bribe me by saying the APC will use me for the Senate.
That is the potion that interest me, with this PDP should hastily suspend OBJ for working for APC in advance

We are still waiting for your master's reply to OBJ's letter.

I'm also expecting another letter from Patience to Allison! lipsrsealed

So you didn't see the message of OBJ telling Iyabo that the APC will help her get back to the senate.

Meanwhile the same OBJ was busy castigating the President on anti party conducts simply because the wishes of the people in Ondo,Edo and Anambra were allowed to stand at the polls.

You obviously did not read that letter, go back and do the needful.

In the last paragraph,i think Iyabo obasanjo have publicly disowned her Father!

obj didnt write his letter out of patriotism neither does the daughter but it doesnt change the fact that obj should be an elder statesman and stop taking sides,he should know when to retire

sambama: Hehehe... Time for OBJ to hide in his animal farm. I'm loving GEJ the more. It's obvious that OBJ's letter isn't written out of love for Nigeria but to sell a cheap point for the opposition(APC). Let's not forget how OBJ tried installing El Rufai, Buhari and Okonjo-Iweala, till he saw that he couldn't match GEJ's political might and made a hypocritical U-turn. We shouldn't also forget how Saint (yeye) Tinubu sold his party's 2011 presidential ticket and betrayed Buhari too after some tip from Aso Rock rightly ochestrated by the father of crooks (OBJ). Reading both letters and El-Rufai's accidential public servant shows how quickly Nigerians forget her real enemies.
On my part having been a victim of Buhari's Boko Haram supporters who were bitter that a Notherner lost the presidential elections, I'm advicing any intending Youth Corper (especially the southerners) to outrightly reject any attempt to be posted to any part of the North anytime around the election year. Those who are posted should refuse to participate in the elections. Let Buhari and his cohorts (terror trainees) do that, he can become the president of the North with El Rufai as his vice. Tinubu should take care of his Narcotic life and stop acting like one deluded legend, we all know he can betray APC agin when the time comes. For me, [size=14pt]I hope to see GEJ there again,[/size] OBJ is the one training snippers and planning to overthrow the Govt, he should be given 20 years (he'll obviously be gone before its expiration) in prison. His letter isn't different from those used to overthrow Govts in the past by claiming gross corruption e.t.c, and hence gaining public sympathy before outsing them (Buhari is a trained orator in that game). Thank you Iyabo, I know you wrote this letter, just like I'm sure OBJ wrote the first letter to GEJ. The only thing I hate about GEJ is that he allows these cowards to sleep in luxury homes instead of Kirikiri.
Hatred and bitter only cloud your eyes from reality.

bettermike: She said she was well brought up. Yet she spreads her dirty lenen in public. A disgraceful child.


Exactly my point! What she took God knows how long it took her to write is all about her family up bringing? is that what we want to hear?

Even if OBJ is as dirty as GEJ, at least 90% of the issues he raised in the open letter are what we all know about but fail to talk about it?


We hear of Iyabo today it is because of OBJ, not just because he is her father but he made sure Iyabo was part of the Nigerian history by making her a Senator in Nigeria.


When you remove OBJ influence, Iyabo is a nobody in the society yet she opens her mouth to spew those family trash in the public angry
Re: Iyabo Obasanjo's Letter To Her Father by Nobody: 8:18am On Dec 18, 2013
Is only those that doesn't know obasanjo or those that makes money from him will ever take that scam of a man seriously. Obasanjo dictates what happens in APC and PDP and he sees himself as the owner of Nigeria who can do whatever he likes, GEJ had a disagreement with him on some issues and the result was the stupid letter he shamelessly wrote.

Maybe you guys should ask yourselves why APC, Tinibu, Tambuwal never gets to insult or call obasanjo names despite the crimes he commited and still commiting, is because they are his foot soldiers whom he uses to fufil his selfish desires, if you think APC is coming to rescue Nigeria then you are in for a more bigger suprise. Only a revolution that will consume this corrupt men will save Nigeria, no political party will, GEJ came with a Good heart to make Nigeria better but they are frustrating him because the source of their looting is been shutdown, attacking him from every angle even the most corrupt citizen of Nigeria now calls GEJ a corrupt man and people gets to follow and sing his praises. Our change is very very very far.

She doesn't know a greater percentage of her colleagues are either touts or now riding okada to survive back home while she is making it good in USA courtesy of the same father she is washing down.
How many nigerians realy get the rare opportunity to study abroad or Queens college. This deluded child did; yet she remains ungrateful. Or did she think her senate seat didnt have her father's hand in it? SHAMEFUL OFFSPRING. Obasanjo would be regreting he didnt abort this poo earlyon.

eGuerrilla: A heartfelt outpour shaped by years of parental neglect, laden with so many tragic turns.


Sir, I'll like to know your opinion about the letter, the timing, and perhaps the reason why you think she decided to open-the-pandora-box when the whole polity is heated.

1). Can you authenticate the letter? Personally, I believe someone who has a Ph.D from an Ivy league University wouldn't write something as disjointed and simplistic as this to the public, without proof-reading it. The letter looks like something written by an undergraduate student.

2). If she actually wrote the letter, what do you think the motive is and why now? Do you think she was compromised and given an offer she couldn't resist, hence why she sold her soul?

3). I don't know much about her history except the fact that her dad ruled the country. However, I believe she must have benefited from her dad's star-power/circle-of-influence in Nigerian politics. So why would she betray all that regardless of the infraction between the both of them? Do you think she's trying to kill two birds with one stone - clear her name while killing her dad politically - and at the same time get a retirement settlement from GEJ and disappear - since she's politically dead in Nigeria as asserted in the letter?

Regardless, from the write-up, I noticed she doesn't even see herself as a Nigerian. She cited her Ijebu-Yoruba grandma and alluded to Nigeria as a "British creation" - to buttress that. I guess that's why most of the public servants/officers in Nigeria don't really care about the country. It's safe to say that there's no Nigeria/Nigerian - just millions of disenfranchised people in a geographical location, trying to survive by any means necessary.

I await your response, Sir.

But if GEj wins this 2015 election, all these men should better flee far away, while majority of nigerians pleas nd suffering would fall on deaf ears, then, the administration would soley focus on punishing APC. So pdp can continue. NIGERIANS PLEASE BE WISE.

Iyabo is a bitter child, like many other children, her pain does not make obasanjos cintribution to societal balance void. If obasanjo cldnt write his letter, who else in d country would have written nd Gej would feel it.

I am gravely disappointed in iyabo who saya her mother trained her well yet she spews insults at her father like he is her peer. Trash!!!

Lol. I can't help but laugh at you!
What is the new thing she told us about her dad that we do not already know? Her write-up is simply awash with the characteristic ''better than thou'' attitude which her father is also infamous for. My annoyance is with her insult on the electorate, simply because the people felt she wasn't good enough for second tenure and voted her out. And now she suddenly realized they do not want a purposeful leadership. They wish her to feed from the gutter and all the trash! Why is she crying?

For your information, I'm no aplogist for APC, PDP or any political group for that matter. I know they are all same content in different wraps! I stand for good governance wherever it can be found!
