Obasanjo Well On His Way To Absolutely Devastating Nigeria by kosovo(m): 1:48pm On Feb 16, 2015
I have been called every name in the book that evokes clueless slowpoke for my repeated takes that Obasanjo has lost it, not only with his sanity, but in his rascal behavior. And, finally, we have preliminary proof I might not be so stupid after all.

In the last few years, Obasanjo has constantly shamed the office of the president, which gave a large section of Nigerians the privilege to undermine the once highly rated office. The office of the president has been dragged to the mud, little wonder why anybody can insult the president and go scot-free.

As an old man that Obasanjo is, he does not represent the future of Nigeria, his old and discredited political policies can't salvage Nigeria. Unfortunately, he doesn't want to be rendered irrelevant, even when his true self, that portrays him extraneous in Nigeria struggles for identity.

The difference between John, the GM, the Gate Man and John, the GM, General Manager is in what they know. Unfortunately, "some" Nigerians seem to represent one of the most gullible set people in the world. "Some" Nigerians actually go to school to become foolish and it's a shame, we let people who should be rotting in jail, run the affairs of this great nation. Worse still, a large section of "some" Nigerians dignify their ignorance when they echo words of Obasanjo and give him unnecessary relevance.

President Goodluck Jonathan is by no means the best president Nigeria has ever had, but Obasanjo lacks the moral standard to constantly abuse, attack and blackmail the president. Obansajo is the reason why Jonathan became president in the first place. His devilish calculations brought in the best Nigeria president, in the name of Yar Adua of blessed memory who would be replaced by President Jonathan; a man whom Obasanjo thought could control from his Ota Farm developed from looted tax-payers money.

Unfortunately, President Jonathan played a fast one at him, forcing the ex-dictator to connive with the opposition party to "seize" power, which has not yet happened. Obasanjo accuses the president of being corrupt, no-doubt, but Obansjo has not the moral standard to label Jonathan a corrupt president.

Have we forgotten so soon the Halliburton scandal, the Siemens scandal, the $16 billion NEPA scam and the evil "Third Term Agenda?" Obasanjo is corruption personified and its a shame we give relevance to old men who think Nigeria belongs to them.

Out of mere despiration, Obansojo wrote an open letter, downgrading the president, what did Nigeria say? "Ignore the messenger and accept the message." For me, that's the most callous statement can make and such a person has a Bs.C, he doesn't deserve it. He should do the sane Nigerians a favor by dumping the ill-gotten certificate in a trash can. If the biblical Apostle Paul was a serial fornicator, commanding Christ followers not to fornicate, the bible wouldn't have exist, since there no moral justification for it to be available.

Leaders are not known by titles, they are know by vision. Obasnjo and his colleagues; IBB, Buhari etc, had no vision. They seized power and did nothing to uplift the nation.. These are the people who put Nigeria in the laughable position it is today, nothing works currently because they were the foundation! If the foundation is faulty, nothing can stand on it.

It is quite unfortunate that president Jonathan is the recipient of the failure of government in the last five decades, it is also a shame that Jonathan, the first true civilian president would be the most insulted president in Africa, simply because he decided to follow the democratic and faulty system he inherited.

Any other president would put Obasanjo on the note, but Jonathan gave him that privilege to undermine the office of the president. We didn't hear George Bush basing Bill Clinton, neither did we here Preisdent Obama slamming Bill Clinton. There is more to it than Obasanjo wants Nigeria to believe. Why the sudden love for Nigeria and good governance by OBJ when he has left power, where was the love when he was a dictator and a president from the prison? If truely he loved good governance, he wouldn't have humiliated his Vice President Atiku Abubakar and DESTROY that man political career. In case you don't know, Atiku's political career is totally dead, I heard he lost his ward in the last presidential election.

If Obasanjo loved Nigeria so much, he would have fixed power for Nigerians instead of fixing Ota Farms for himself, owning Bells University and having the largest shares in Oando. if Obasnjo loved Nigeria and wants us to believe, he would not have fradulently made Jonathan president, when there were enough credible governors during his dispensation. He turned a blind eye, because he thought Jonathan would be controlled from his farm.

The old man has torn his PDP membership card. For me, this is good news! He is no longer a distraction to the ruling party, they can now focus instead of trying to please an old man who couldn't control his family.

Nigerians need to re-think! If all the people saying President Jonathan is bad, and they are from one clique, it means President Jonathan is doing something right! But we are not just seeing it because the constitution of our mind has been designed to see only bad things. It is hoped that we begin to look into issues in a pro-active manner and build this nation. Otherwise, posterity will insult us, like we have insulted our ancestors and these old men who won't take care of their grand children but believe it is their birth-right to control the resources of Nigeria.
