OBJ should have left in his cage by Abacha,he came to steal and destroy with his occultic members like Chris Uba Okija shrine patron and Ogboni leader Anenih.
He watched Chris Uba kidnap a sitting Governor and destroy Anambra state and called it a famly affair.
He watched Anthony Anenih as he embezzled our funds and turned our roads to deathtraps.
The National assembly contrary to what CBN Governor and Ngozi Iweala stated found out he sprnt $16 billion dollars on power to give us darkness.
In decent climes he will be spending life in prison.

It's funny that with all his shortcomings, he still did better than PMB.

If we have 24/7 electricity, we dont need oil at all.

The tax generated from population of a country of 180 million will even more than triple money generated from oil sales.

But successive governments failed to fix electricity.
Shame on military generals that destroyed the country.
At the bolded, u mean every past leader except GEJ I guess. If then; u r a smart kid.

nigeria is a destroyed country, hence there is no money.
Refineries can be sold. They are already scraps.

Buhari is reluctant to borrow money. He is very careful as a very old man. But he needs to borrow tens of billions or even up to hundred billion dollars.
I am angry with his reluctance to borrow money.


This is what I mean when I say I don't trust the government to borrow on our behalf. https://www.nairaland.com/3369950/minister-finance-kemi-adeosun-guessing#49662784

Some say Obasanjo was the problem PDP had, Some said the party collapsed after he left.

The main reason Jonathan lost the election and why Obasanjo allowed the party to sink was this.

Yaradua died and based on the parties agreement of zonning it was the turn of the north to do 8 years in office. Unfortunately Yaradua could not complete his 8 years and the constitution made provision for the VP to take over. There is nothing the north could do about it.

So I believe the agreement was for Gej to do 1 tenure and hand over to the north to complete the north's 4 years.

Jonathan decided to violate that agreement and do eight years, either because he wanted to see the result of the seeds he planted in the economy or for personal interest.

Obasanjo would not stay and watch Gej violate this agreement which could cause bloodshed, even though he would not deny the fact that he was OK with Gejs leadership of the country. But he had to put party interest of zonning above national interest , or put national interest above selfish interest as it would have led to a bloody war.

Even Gej knew that the battle line was drawn and had to call and congratulate Buhari even before the results were concluded. This is because both the North and the south were ready for the clash, but the blood would be on his head for violating the agreement. So since he violated and lost, no need to shed blood. I respect Gej for that decision.

However, there was one thing both Gej and Obasanjo were worried about. What would happen to our economy if Buhari took over. That is why he said Nigerians will celebrate him when he left office.

So what was the pilar that gave both Gej and Obasanjo confidence in Gejs administration?

Ngozi Okonjo iweala. She was the reason and the force behind most achievements in Obasanjo's regime and Gejs.

Obasanjo would not be a part of a PDP that violates it's agreement with the north, but on the other hand he was worried about what will become of Nigerian economy in the hands of Buhari.

Obasanjo was caught between the devil and the deep blue sea. If he supported Gej and he won, a lot of blood will be shed , but if he supported Buhari, the economy will collapse and there will be untold hardship. So he left PDP and would not join APC.

It was better for him that Nigerians suffer hunger and economic hardship than die from post election violence.

Obasanjo said that Buhari was not a good civilian administrator. That is why he wanted Okonjo iweala as Vice president, as his condition to support Buhari's presidency when he choose pastor bakare as vice.


Finally, Buhari is now president, and Obasanjo's other fear, which was our economy is happening before our eyes.

4 million jobs lost, inflation 17% , stagnation etc. He saw all this, but his hands were tied. In less than 2 years, we have to sell our assets to fund 2016 budget. what will we sell to fund 2017 and 2018?

Some blame the oil, but Obasanjo knew that it is not about oil, but Buhari's ability to manage our economy. He would only support Buhari's candidate if he was sure there will be an Okonjo Iweala as vice to prevent the economic disaster we face today.

Okonjo is not the smartest person in Nigeria just so you know. She didn't advice the past leaders right on how to save. You're just adding 2 and 2 together. We've not had a great man in Nigeria yet. There's no point praising 1 for the other.
Your point has irrelevant information. Happy Sunday
